Hero [Ironstrange]

23 - Potato Prince

Stephen

"WHAT THE FUCK?!?" 

"RUN, STEPHEN, IT'S BEHIND YOU!" 

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH I'M BURNING!"

It was then I felt pain like I'd never felt before. Worse than the pain I experienced when my dad died. Worse than what it would feel like to drive a car off a cliff. I look down in defeat, trying to keep the tears in my eyes. I would never succeed in life, this failure was too great. And to mock my failure there were six words.

"GODDAMMIT, STEPHEN, YOU LOST OUR DIAMONDS!" Tony groans. "I WAS GOING TO MAKE THE ENCHANTMENT TABLE WITH THOSE."

"I'M SORRY," I pout. "CAN'T YOU GET THEM BACK?"

"NO, YOU IDIOT! THEY BURNED WITH YOUR CORPSE!" 

"Why are you guys playing Minecraft?" Victor walks in, drawn by the large amounts of screaming. "That game is for seven-year-olds." 

"Victor, you're eight," I state, rolling my eyes. 

"Exactly, sooooo last year." Victor sighs. "C' mon, Harley let's go," 

"I thought you hated Harley,"

"We are a-kain-tances,"

"Aqaintanices?" Tony corrects. 

"Exactly! Aqua-tan-nices." Victor nods, grabbing Harley. "Me and Donna are going to put Mom's make-up on Harley in the backyard. If you guys want to get a life and stop playing games for children, then you can join."

"Donna and I," Tony corrects, once again. "Also, tell, Donna that I don't think that's a safe idea, I don't want Harley to have an allergic reaction or something, I mean-,"

"Ok," Victor ignores the rest of Tony's speech and leaves, shutting the door. 

"Rude," Tony whimpers, closing his laptop.

"Hey, I was about to respawn!" I complain.

"It's not fun when you die every ten seconds."

"It's not my fault, the creepers come out of nowhere!"  

"You would never survive a real zombie apocalypse," Tony frowns, sketching something. "See?" The sketch is of a dead guy labeled Stephen with a Minecraft zombie standing over him.

"Wow," I sarcastically reply.

"I know, what a romantic drawing," Tony smiles, looking at it. "I would fuck a creeper,"

"Yeah, totally," I answer. "WAiT, wHat?"

"Anyway, we should probably stop Donna from killing our dog." Tony gets up and runs out of the room, with me slowly following behind him. 

"Donna?" he calls out as we walk into the backyard. "Victor said she would be in the backyard."

"HEY, BITCHES," A voice screams, scaring the shit out of me and Tony. I grab Tony's hand and let out a little shriek.

"FUCK YOU, DONNA," I shout, catching my breath. Donna laughs and lets down the ladder to get up on the roof, where she and Victor were with Harley.

 "Come up, we have work to do," she says before turning back to Victor. "Wait a minute, were we just cursing in front of the smol innocent child?"

Tony smirks at me and raises our hands, which were still intertwined. Oh shit. I quickly let go of his hand, my face turning red.

"Sorry," I mumble.

"It's fine, cuz I'm your soulmate," he smirks.

"Again with the soulmate thing? Really, Tony?" I smile, rolling my eyes. We climbed up to the roof. 

"DONNA! HOW DARE YOU BRING HARLEY UP HERE!? HE COULD FALL AND HURT HIMSELF!!!" Tony scolds her, picking up Harley. "AND MAKE-UP ISN'T SAFE! ARE YOU TRYING TO POISON HIM?!?" 

"Okay, after a few google searches I realized that make-up would indeed, not be safe," Donna states. "So....we're dressing him up instead." 

"WHAT?!? NO! HE WON'T LIKE THAT!" Tony pouts, being protective of his child.

"I HAVE AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD TO ENTERTAIN, OK?" Donna takes Harley from Tony's arms. Harley barks and slips out of Donna's arms and walks over to Victor. 

"You guys are scaring him!" Victor hugs the puppy and strokes his head. 

"Oh my god, I can't believe I yelled at you bro," Tony gasps. 

"I know! Bro, I'm sorry for putting Harley in danger," Donna replies, walking over to hug Tony. 

"I love you, bro," Tony says, hugging back.

"Bro, I love you too," 

"What the heck just happened?" I ask Victor, as we stare at the two, who were currently fist-bumping and whispering something to each other. 

"Um, obviously they channeled the power of bro energy to resolve this conflict and become best bros again." Victor sighs. "You are so uncultured,"

"Um, last time I checked you weren't cultured either."

"No, my friend Tora is very in with the memes." Victor nods. 

"I thought you hated Tora," I say, confused. "You always complained about her."

"That is the past," he replies. "We channeled the power of bro energy to resolve our conflic-"

"Okay, I think I get it," I cut him off. "Let's just raid Mom's closet before she gets home."

"VERY NICE IDEA, BRO STEPHEN!" Donna exclaims. "HARLEY WILL BE THE BEST POTATO PRINCE!"

"A potato prince?" Tony questions, holding Harley. "YES, GOOD IDEA!" 

"OKAY! VICTOR AND I WILL RAID THE CLOSETS! STEPHEN AND TONY GET ALL THE POTATOES FROM THE FRIDGE!" 

After a while of working, we hear the door opening, signaling that Mom was home. I look around to see the mess we made in the backyard (Tony said it was too dangerous to work on the roof). Potatoes were all over the place, some smashed. I rush to stop Mom from coming outside, but she gets here before I can get up.  

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU KIDS DO THIS TIME?"

A/N: OMG FOUR IN A ROW!!!! I think this will be the end of my updating streak, I don't know if I'll be able to do FIVE in a row. 

APPARENTLY, POTATOES ARE TOXIC TO DOGS, BUT THIS IS AN AU SO I'M MAKING POTATOES NOT TOXIC TO DOGS! YAY!

Have you guys started school yet? I start in September, but I know a lot of people already started. 

Also, I might start another ironstrange book, so it would be great if you guys could give me AU ideas. I'm thinking of Prince!Tony and Mage!Stephen, like some kind of Royal AU, but I'm not totally set on that idea. I know that AJ wants me to do an Omegaverse, so I guess that's another idea. 

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
