(y/n) - your name

I watch Tony and Harley work together on fixing the suit after Harley cleaned up my wounds and got me extra blankets. Tony was teaching the kid and I was munching on the sandwich Harley made for us.

The kid then started pestering Tony about New York and I knew he was getting on edge with the topic. "Hey Harley," the kid turns around to face me and I sit up on the couch, giving him some space. "I want to show you something." He eagerly jumps over to me and I cover him with the blanket.

I focus on my powers, letting it light up around my hands like soft wisps of white flames that danced around my fingers. I chuckled as Harley watched with amazement. I wriggle my fingers and I levitate some of Tony's things.

"Cut it out." I chuckle and I leave him be, conjuring a ball of light in my hand.

"You have powers! That's awesome!" I nod and I throw the ball into the air, letting it explode softly into specks of glittering white around the shed. Harley was in awe, catching some of the specs as it melted in his hands. "What else can you do!?"

"Well with matter manipulation," Tony chucks a piece of scrap metal towards me and I catch it. "I can change existing matter into anything I like unless the elements are the same." I close my fist around the scrap metal, my hand glowing white as I melted the metal. It floats up in blobs of liquid, floating around Harley's head before melding together to form a mirror image of his face. It takes shape of the Avengers one by one before solidifying into a tiny figurine of Harley as it drops into his hands.

"So can you make things out of thin air?" Harley asks and I shake my head.

"Law of conservation of mass. Can't create or destroy it."

"As riveting as that show was, we need to get going to investigate." Tony says as he shrugs on the winter clothes Harley got for us and I do the same, Tony helping me out of the shed. The kid leads us out into town, talking about the bombing incident that happened around here.

The town is small and cute as expected.

There were people still roaming around despite how late it was, celebrating Christmas together in pubs. Harley showed us the alleyway where the incident occurred and I see various candles, photographs, crosses and bouquets of flowers for the victims that had died.

"Then he blew himself up, right here." I shudder as I see the burnt shadows etched onto the walls of the victims. I let the boys talk about it themselves and I roll my eyes as Harley brings up New York again.

"Harley don't." I narrow my eyes at him as Tony starts having another panic attack. He runs off and I chase after him, setting him down on the floor as I kneel in front of him. "Hey breathe, remember what I said. You're ok." Tony struggles to breathe and I hold his hands. "Nose then mouth." He nods and follows me, finally catching his breath. Tony sighs out and lays his head back against the wall.

"What the hell was that?"

Tony throws a snowball at Harley. "Your fault. You spazzed me out. Okay, back to business. Where were we?" I help Tony up back on his feet.

"Does the dead dude have any relatives?" Harley nods at my question and points to the pub. "Mrs Davis is always there."

"See? Now, you're being helpful."





I hang out with Harley outside the pub, keeping an eye on him while Tony went to talk to Mrs Davis inside. Not like it was hard since the kid kept asking me questions. He was so fascinated by my powers and I have a feeling this kid has a crush on me.

"So where's your family?" I freeze and Harley frowns noticing my rigid movement.

"Uh, they're not here."

"...Did they die?" Harley mumbles and I nod.

"You could say that."

"I'm so sorry." He frowns, scuffing the floor and I ruffle his hair.

"Hey, it's ok. There's nothing I could do about it."

"Did you have any siblings?"

"I did yeah. A younger sister. She's 4 years younger than me."

"I have a little sister too!"

"They're so annoying right." I chuckle as I whisper to Harley who nods.

"Yes!"

"But we love them."

"That's very true." We both grew bored and I end up messing around with my powers to keep Harley entertained. I made little snow tornados dance around him and created Olaf with my magic.

Omfg I'm Elsa. My dream come true!

"What's this?" Harley looks at Olaf in confusion.

"This is Olaf. He's a character from a Disney movie that hasn't happened yet."

"Wait, you're from the future too!?" Harley looks like his mind was blown and I nod. "Prove it." I look through the window of the pub and I see Tony talking to Mrs Davis.

"Ok, you remember the woman that Tony bumped into? The shirt black haired chick?" Harley nods and I point through the window. "She's a bad guy. She's going to go in there and take out a gun on Tony." Harley gasps and looks up at me.

"We need to stop her!" I grab hold of Harley's hoodie and pull him back as the woman I just talked about showed up on view like I said.

"Tony will be ok. He's iron man remember. He's got moves you will be surprised by."

"But-"

"-3. 2. 1. And fight!" Gunshots ring out in the pub and Harley gapes at me as I grab hold of his arm and run away. "You need to hide and stay out of view ok." He nods and runs to hide behind some cars as people scream and run out of the pub. I watch behind a postbox as Tony runs out of the pub with the Human Torch running after him. I see another guy get out of the car to try and shoot Tony but he gets hit with a snowball that Harley threw at him.

My body glows up lightly as I focus on surrounding Harley and Tony with a shield around their body just to keep them safe. I sigh in relief as Tony walks out of the building unscathed, saluting me as the building explodes behind him like a boss.

"All you need are glasses now!" I yell out, walking towards him as he chuckles. I freeze when I hear the sound of metal bending and breaking, a sizzling sound coming from above us and I see the water tower start falling. "Oh, shit..." I dive towards Tony, throwing up a large forcefield over the both of us as the water fountain breaks and water escapes. I look around at the destruction of the mini tsunami, taking down buildings and structures easily.

"That was a close one." I nod, gritting my teeth as the dome flickers beneath the water and debris washing over us. I wait until everything does down and I lower the forcefield.

"Let me go!" I turn around and see the dude Harley chucked a snowball at carrying him and I get mad.

"Who are you?" The bald dude glares at me and I do the same.

"That's none of your fucking business!" I hiss out, standing close to Tony.

"Anyway. Hey, kid, what would you like for Christmas?"

"Mr Stark, I am so sorry."

"No, no, no. I think he was trying to say, 'I want my goddamn file.'"

"It's not your fault, kid. Remember what I told you about bullies?" I remember the gadget Tony gave Harley and I nod my head to the kid. Harley nods and takes it out, blinding the Human Torch.

The Human Torch grunts in pain, stumbling back and the Harley escapes from his hold. "You like that, Westworld? That's the thing about smart guys, we always cover our ass." Tony quickly shoots the guy and he gets thrown back, unmoving.

"Nice." Tony rips the stabiliser off and sighs out, walking off to grab some file and steals the guy's car keys as I followed him.

"You're welcome." The Harley suddenly shows up again with a cowboy hat and I giggle as he walked with us.

"For what? Did I miss something?"

"Me, saving your life."

"He's not wrong." I chuckle and both boys look at me.

"Anyway, A, I saved you first. B, thanks. Sort of. And C, if you do someone a solid, don't be a yutz. All right? Just play it cool. Otherwise, you come off grandiose." We walk towards the car, the kid going off at Tony which was amusing.

"Unlike you? Admit it, you need me. We're connected." Tony cuts Harley off, giving him instructions as I get in the car.

"Move out of the way, or I'm gonna run you over." Tony gets in the car and I narrow my eyes at him.

"Don't be so mean to him." Tony sighs and lowers the window.

"I'm sorry, kid. You did good."

"So, now you're just gonna leave me here, like my dad?"

"Yeah. Wait, you're guilt-tripping me, aren't you?"

"I'm cold." I laugh as Harley pouts at Tony, trying to make him feel bad.

"I can tell. You know how I can tell? Because we're connected." Tony mocks the poor kid and I wack his arm.

"Good try Harley." I hi-five him, waving goodbye. "I'll see you around kid."

"Bye (y/n)!" I hear Harley yell out as Tony drives off.
