chapter twenty seven tony stark
The static on the communications board was heavy. Bruce had been attempting to contact the Avenger's Facility over the course of the past hour. They had already crossed over the New York state-line and would be approaching the compound quickly.
It must have been another five minutes before a very familiar voice over road the system.
"I don't remember expecting any guests from Wakanda." Tony's voice came through the speakers. "Care to explain yourself, T'challa?"
"Hey Tony." Bruce said.
It was quiet for a moment before the voice returned. "Bruce, it's nice to hear from you, finally. And I see you brought me guests." Then outside the glass panels, they saw Iron Man fly by them. "Let's see we've got the wanted fugitive Ray Banner, or Smith, or Barnes or whatever she goes by now. And an unknown. FRIDAY doesn't have any data on her."
"Tony we need some help."
"I figured as much. You know, I still can't believe that you have a daughter. And here I thought Clint was the only one hiding secrets."
"Can we land the jet at the compound?"
"I suppose so. Then I'll decide whether or not to call the marshal."
Bruce looked at Ray with a reassuring look. "He's kidding."
"Am I?" Tony said. "I guess we'll see. Race you back." Then he flew away faster then he had arrived.
Ray looked at her father. "Don't let him call the cops on me."
"I wouldn't let him."
When the jet set down in the compound, Tony Stark stood outside the front door. He was dressed in a trailered suit that cost more than Ray's ranch back home.
He stood with a drink in his hand and a hard frown on his face. His thoughts revolved around Germany last year, and the last time he saw Ray. He did truly care for Banner's daughter. Bruce was a very close friend to Tony, and his care towards Bruce extended towards his daughter.
He had felt a need to protect her in Bruce's absence and tried his hardest to bring her back here, where she would have been safe. Though Stark was used to getting his way, that didn't always happen.
When he watched Bruce walk out of jet with his daughter behind him, and another woman with hands tied together, his frowned deepened.
