little Tones

Worthy?

3:20pm

  The day is going quite well. They eat breakfast, then watch a couple movies. They then have lunch and after that, Steve gets out Tony's 'Build Your Own Robot' kit and help Tony open it up.

  Right away, Tony gets started on it. Barely reading the instructions and getting started on his robot creation. Steve sit with Tony on the floor, watching in amazement as the pieces of plastic and metal, screws and wires soon turn into an actual, working robot. "Tony. That's incredible. If I didn't see it myself, I might not have believed you built this." "Yo wike it?" Steve nods his head, as he looks at the robot in awe. "It's amazing. I've never met a kid as smart as you." Steve admits, making Tony smile. "you tink so?" Tony asks, surprised. "Yeah." "Wow. My Daddy neva said dat."

  Steve frowns as Tony looks at his robot with sad eyes. "Hey." Steve gets Tony to looks up at him. "You're dad knew you were smart. He might not have told you, but . . . He was very proud of you Tony. He said you were his greatest creation." Steve tells him, softly. Tony's face lights up with happiness and surprise. "Wealy?" Steve nods his head. "Wow. That's good." Tony whispers, smiling.

6:30pm

  Steve and Tony eat dinner, (Chicken noodle soup) and soon after they finish, Clint, Natasha, Bruce and Thor come into the living room. "Oh! Hey guys! Thor. Hey!" Steve greets, happy to see the rest of his friends. They all smile and walk to go sit on the couch an chairs.

  "Hey. How are you two doing?" Nat asks, taking a seat. "Really good, actually." Little Tony goes over to Nat with a huge smile. "Nasha!" "Hey Little Tones." She greets, happily and picks Tony up, setting him on her lap and tickling him, causing him to giggle. Everyone is smiling except for Thor. He just watches in shock at seeing a mini Tony Stark.

  Steve notices and speaks up. "Thor. This is Tony Stark." He introduces them. Thor snaps out of his shock and slowly smiles at the little boy. "Tony, this is Thor. Another Avenger." Steve informs. "Hi Tore." Tony says, looking at the huge, longer haired man, curiously. "Hi. So . . . It's true. This is -" "yeah." Steve cuts him off, nodding his head as the others nod their heads as well. Thor shakes his head in disbelief. "Wow. Well it's very nice to meet you Tony." Thor exclaims, kindly.

  "Bruce. Can I speak with you a moment?" Bruce looks up from smiling at Tony and nods his head. "Yeah." He goes over a few feet with, Steve, away from the group and converse. Steve asks how the progress one on finding a way to turn Tony back. Bruce explains he pretty far from finding a cure but he's working super hard to find it. After a minute of talking, they go back to the group.

  "What's dat?" Tony points to the hammer, Thor has holding tight in his big hand and fiddling with it. Thor looks down at his hammer. "That is my hammer." Tony furrows his eyebrows. "It doesn't wook wike a hamma." Tony exclaims eyeing the large weapon. "Well, it's not your average hammer. This hammer is very special." Tony's eyes widen. "How?" He asks, curiously. "Well I fight bad guys with it and can summon lightening with it."

"The coolest thing about it, though is that only I can pick it up. No one else can but I." Tony cocks his head. "Is it realwy heavy?" He asks, thinking that's why only Thor can pick it up."A little bit. But only I can pick it up because I am worthy of it." Thor explains. Tony nods his head.

  "Can I twy picking it up?" They all look at Thor, curious at what he'll say. Thor raises his eyebrows in surprise, and smiles. "Sure. Give it a try." He stands up and sets the hammer on the floor, with the handle up. Nat sets Tony down and he emediately runs to the hammer, looking at it in awe. "May I?" Little Tony asks again. "Yeah." Thor nods his head and smiles at how polite Tony is. He then gestures to the hammer for Tony to pick up.

  Everyone watches, but know nothing will happen. They just live seeing how excited and curious little Tony is, always wanting to figure things out and try new things. Tony steps towards the hammer and reach out both of his tiny hands, and wrapping his fingers around the leather handle, grasping it tightly.

  They all watch with small smiles. Tony begins to lift up his arms and amazingly . . . . The hammer fallows. The hammer lifts up from the ground as Tony holds it up to his chest by the handle, with both hands. All their eyes go wide and their smiles fade, replaced with a dropped jaw.

  "Holy shit." Clint whispers in disbelievingly. "Woah." Thor states, not knowing what else to say, absolutely astonished that this Little boy could pick up Mjölnir.

  Tony looks up at everyone then at Thor. "Did I do someting Wong?" He asks, softly, looking up at Thor with worried eyes. Thor shakes his head and kneels down in front of Tony with a smile. "Of course not. I'm just absolutely amazed that you can pick it up. No one can pick it up, but me." "But . . . I picked it up." Tony exclaims, a little confused by what Thor said when Tony can clearly pick it up as well.

  "That, you did." Thor nods his head, and smiles at Tony. "Well . . . Tank you. Here yo go." Tony holds the hammer out to Thor, giving it back. Thor chuckles and kindly takes the hammer back from Tony's small hands. Thor furrows his eyebrows and grins, eyeing Tony in wander. How the hell did Tony's child self pick my hammer up? That's impossible. Thor thinks to himself.

  Tony looks to the floor, shyly while Thor looks at him, intently. Thor notices he's causing the boy discomfort, so he stops staring and stands up. "You're very special, you know that?" Tony thinks for a moment, then slowly shakes his head. Thor's huge smile fades to a small one, but still keeps the smile.

  "Well you are. Don't ever forget it." Thor says kindly but seriously. Tony looks up, shyly and nods his head.

  8:12pm

They all hang out a bit, untill it's time for Tony to go to bed.

  "Okay. Say good night." Steve says to Tony, as he picks up the exhausted 4 year old. "Good night little Tones." Nat says, with a smile. "It was a pleasure to meet you, young Anthony." Thor Thor waves good bye to Tony, who tiredly waves back, as Steve takes him to bed.

  Once Steve gets Tony settled in bed, he kisses him goodnight, and quietly leaves the room, going back to the rest of the team.

  "That's absolutely amazing. I can't believe that's the Man of Iron." Thor states, dumbfounded. They all nod in agreement. "I know." Steve says. "What I find absolutely amazing is that Tony picked up your hammer." Clint comments, still amazed at the event that took place a few minutes ago.

  "I know. It's quite incredible, but intriguing. I guess he's worthy, but . . . . That's never ever happened before. . . .  Ever." Thor states. "I can't believe it either. "Does that mean the adult Tony can pick it up too?" Bruce's asks, enterested. "I do not know, maybe." Thor replies, honestly and shrugs his shoulder. "Well, when we turn him back, if we tell him about this, you know he'll be trying to pick up your hammer, and if he CAN pick it up again, he'll be doing it ALL the time." Nat states with a grin. They all laugh.
