Father Fury {Discontinued}

Chapter Fifteen

Phil turned the movie on and everyone settled down in silence, watching the elongated title scene with its creepy horror movie.

"Seen this before?" Steve whispered to Tony. Tony nodded, whispering back: "It was one of the few movies Sharon had that weren't adult and inappropriate."

"Shush!" Clint hissed, elbowing Steve's knee. Steve grunted and kicked the back of the boys head. "Boys please!" Natasha growled, shifting slightly so that Wanda's head lay on her shoulder in a more comfortable position.

By the end of the movie, hardly any of them were awake. The only ones who were awake were Steve, Bucky, Sam, Peter, and Rhodey.

"How are we gonna get everyone else upstairs? Not trying to be funny, but I can't lift Thor." Steve said, pulling himself up off the sofa. "I'd wake everyone up." Phil suggested, starting to gently shake Pietro. The boy in question mumbled a muffled reply - still half asleep - and shrugged the man off.

"I don't really want to do that either." Steve rubbed his arm awkwardly. "I don't mind." Sam interjected. "How about just waking up the ones we can't move? Like Thor." Rhodey added, moving over to the Asgardian lad. Nick nodded and started to lift Clint into his arms.

Peter looked around before deciding to pick up Shuri, because honestly he was either gonna make it with Shuri or Wanda and since the Wakandan girl was younger, he went to her first. He lifted her up bridal style and followed Nick out of the room, him holding Clint in the exact same way.

Once Rhodey had awoken Thor, he moved over to Tony and easiy lifted the younger boy in his arms, practically jogging to the stairwell.

Thor took up his brother Loki whilst Steve and Bucky collected Bruce and Scott. Phil pulled Pietro into his arms and took him up to the room the boy shared with Peter, who was now on his way to get Wanda. He placed him on his bed, tucked him under the duvet, and hesitated before planting a slight kiss on his forehead. The boy. A son. His son. It's only been a few hours and he already saw all of the kids as his own birth children. He was really glad Nick wanted this.

He came back downstairs to see Peter passing him with Wanda, Steve gathering up T'Challa, Bucky was walking through the door with Natasha, and Rhodey was sat on the sofa with Nick.

"Everyone in bed now?" Phil asked, sitting on Rhodeys other side. Rhodey nodded. "The others are going to bed once they've taken the asleep ones to their rooms." Nick explained, placing a hand on the teens back. "You gonna head up now?" Rhodey nodded and went to stand up before Phil grabbed his arm and pulled him back down.

"Wait - I wanna know what's going on with Tony. Nick mentioned something about disorders earlier." Rhodey nodded solemnly before sitting back down.

"The thing with Tony is - he won't ask for help. If he's feeling sick or worried then he's not gonna come to you. And with his disorders, ugh, he won't talk to anyone. The only reason I knew was because I found him regurgitating his food back in the early days of living with Sharon Carter." Nick looked appalled. "Regurgitated?!" Rhodey nodded. "That's the rumination. Then there's his pica and anorexia. Don't force him to eat anything, or too much. He has to eat though, obviously, he just doesn't like to do it. When it comes to food please don't over-face him or force him to eat it all. Even a little enough." Phil hummed in agreement. "What about the rumination?" Rhodey sighed and began fiddling with his hands. "It's not in his files because he doesn't want it to be. He doesn't want people to know. I want to to help him, but please don't get help from therapists and stuff or medical doctors. Just you." Nick and Phil agreed and let Rhodey go off up to bed.

The following morning, Phil was rather surprised to find that he was the first person down. However, it did give him a chance to look up something he and Nick and been talking about the last night - schools.

They wanted to get as many of them into the same ones as possible, though since a few weren't even in high school yet, all they had to do was get them into neighbouring schools.

He muttered to himself slightly as Nick came up behind. "What grades are they all gonna go into in September?" He asked. "I'll have to get the files out for that. Lucky I thought ahead." Nick chuckled, pulling them out from behind his back where one hand had previously been awkwardly kept.

As Phil flicked through them, he suddenly stopped. "Hang on, according to this is says that Tony is younger than Loki, but I thought it was the other way around." He handed the two boys files to Nick. "That's what Hydra said..." The older man mumbled before grabbing his phone out of his pocket. "Let me just make a call." Phil nodded before checking that all the other files were in order - which they were, so perhaps it was the original phone call that was messed up.

It didn't take too long, but when Nick came back in the room they realised that their suspicions were right - Loki was older then Tony cause the Hydra people had gotten the years wrong.

"I knew they were Shady." Phil muttered. "Hey, they only made one mistake. It's not that bad." Nick reasoned.

He sat next to Phil on what was usually Thor's chair, peering over his husbands shoulder at the screen. He was filing Steve in for William A. Shine Great Neck South High School.
