Before It All (IronStrange Fanfic)

Chapter 27 Owner and Object

Tony's Pov:

"The new law crack on Omega's has caused some outrage...Many Beta's are infuriated by the new laws." I frowned...

"Well, of course, they'd be upset...Omega's need to be controlled though." The other news anchor said.

"I don't agree Jim...As rare as Omega's are nowadays we should probably be treating them better...They are practically extinct. They are doing a count right now to see how many are left in the US." She said.

"Tony...were practically extinct," Bruce said and I snorted.

"Yeah, where the hell have they been," I said and Stephen walked in reading a book that floated in front of him as he walked.

"Talk about hands-free," Bruce said and I laughed.

"The new laws state that they are now owned by there Alpha." We looked at the TV. "It's not right that we've made something rare and unique an object." The Woman snapped. "They are not just tools! This is not ok!" She shouted and we watched security dragging her off...

"What's going on?" Stephen asked.

"Congrats Stephen...You now own me and everything that I owned is now yours." I said and he frowned.

"What?" He asked.

"The new Omega laws passed...I'm so fucked." Bruce sighed.

"You are indeed," I said.

"Omega laws?" Stephen asked.

"I'm no longer a person...neither is Bruce," I said and I saw something dark flicker in Stephen's eyes. "I don't even get a choice now...You officially own me and have to get me a collar." I said.

"While I'm allowed to be claimed by anyone that wants me and I have no say in the matter," Bruce said and I saw Stephen pale.

"What about Omega kids?" Stephen asked.

"You own Peter to until he's 18 and then anyone that wants him can pretty much have him," I said and Stephen snarled.

"What the fuck?" He asked.

"Welcome to the future Steph..." I said.

"The future where we are simply pets," Bruce said and as if on cue the elevator dinged and Pepper walked in with that damned box I thought I got rid of.

"Tony..." Pepper said and I sighed.

"No...No this isn't fair," Stephen said.

"Too bad...It's the law." Pepper said and I got up walking over and opening the box. "I already got his name on it." She said and I nodded opening the box. The red leather collar mocking me as Stephen's name was written on it...I frowned. Could be worse I guess. I grabbed it and sat the box down, I put it on and felt the heaviness resting on my neck as I hooked it into place...I felt shame wash over me suddenly. "Peter has one as well," Pepper said sitting another box down...Great. "It looks good," Pepper said looking proud...Like she was proud I was just a damn pet now...

"Yeah," I said suddenly feeling all fight leave me as I realized...This was the law now...I was now an object.

"Yeah looks great for us dogs to wear...I want a jeweled one." Bruce snarled.

"Watch it." Pepper said and I heard Stephen growl. "Alright...Strange now will be taking over the company and your money will now be his." Pepper said as my heart sunk more and more at the words...I don't own anything anymore...even myself.

"Yeah, all Tony's hard work is now someone else's...Because that's totally fair." Bruce said looking annoyed.

"Banner! That is enough! You will not talk to me like that again!" Pepper commanded and Bruce's mouth slammed shut as he lowered his eyes to the alpha voice.
