(So Tony and (Y/N) now know the truth, but will (Y/N) give Tony a chance at being the father he never was?... Let's find out)

================================================================================

Tony and Bruce were now in the lab running test's on Loki's sceptre and trying to track the cube, when Bruce decided to try and break the silence.

Bruce: So... (Y/N) is your son?

Tony nodded at him.

Bruce: He's a good kid.

Tony sighed and looked at Bruce.

Tony: You know... For two years I have been watched by S.H.I.E.L.D... His mother even worked for them, which I obviously didn't know... But the worst thing was not knowing, I should have been there for him when she died...

Bruce just nodded and listened, it was weird seeing the man that normal don't give too hells, being this upset about something, but after a few moments of conversing between the two, mainly about (Y/N), the machine started to beep and both men ran to there respective stations... Bruce grabbed a device and held it over Loki's sceptre...

Bruce: The gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports of the Tesseract. But it's going to take weeks to process.

Tony: If we bypass their mainframe and direct route to the Homer cluster, we can clock this at around 600 teraflops.

Tony says tapping away at his station, once finished he made his way to another station and started to tap away at that one, when Bruce spoke.

Bruce: All I packed was a toothbrush.

He said with a chuckle. Tony gave a giggle as well

Tony: You know, you should come by Stark Tower sometime.

He says starting to go back to his normal attitude.

Tony: Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it. It's Candy Land

He says smiling at Bruce, Bruce realises he is just trying to forget about what just happened and he wants to change the subject and Bruce is all for that.

Bruce: Thanks, but the last time I was in New York, I kind of broke Harlem.

Tony slow and subtly makes his way next to Bruce hold a small pointy stick, twirling in his hands.

Tony: Well, I promise a stress-free environment... Plus (Y/N) will be there... Hopefully.

Tony then walks behind Bruce.

Tony: No tension, no surprises.

Tony then pokes the stick in to Bruce's side making a small jolt of electricity go throw the Doctor making him well in pain... Bruce looks at Tony and smirks as Tony stares in to Bruce's eyes trying to see if anything changed, that's when he noticed nothing happened and Steve joined the pair.

Steve: Hey!

Tony ignored Steve and asked Bruce.

Tony: Nothing?

Steve approaches the two.

Steve: Are you nuts?

Tony looks at Steve.

Tony: Jury's out.

Tony looks back at Bruce.

Tony: You really have got a lid on it, haven't you?  What's your secret? Mellow jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?

Steve shakes his head at Tony.

Steve: Is everything a joke to you?

Tony: Funny things are.

Steve: Threating the safety of everyone on this ship isn't funny.

He then looks to Bruce.

Steve: No offence, Doc.

Bruce continues to work as Tony leans on the wall behind him and shrugs his shoulders as Steve stays in Solider mode.

Bruce: It's all right, I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things.

He says the last part looking at Tony as Tony slowly walks away from the wall.

Tony: You're tip-toeing, big man. You need to strut.

Steve: And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark.

Steve says getting pretty fed up with Tony's behaviour.

Tony: Do you think I'm not? Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What else isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables.

Steve: You think Fury's hiding something?

Tony: He already did... From one of his Agents no less... He's a spy. Captain, he's 'the' spy. His secrets have secrets. It's bugging him, too. Isn't it?

He says pointing to Bruce as Tony eats a blueberry from a packet that nobody noticed him pick up. Bruce looks at both Tony and Steve a little nervous.

Bruce: I just want to finish my work here, and...

Steve: Doctor?...

Bruce sighs and looks at Steve... Then to Tony, and back to Steve, Bruce takes his glasses off, then says.

Bruce: 'A warm light for all mankind.' Loki's jab at Fury about the Cube.

Steve: I heard it.

Bruce looks at Tony.

Bruce: Well, I think it was meant for you.

Tony others Bruce a blueberry in which Bruce looks very confused at the bag, but take one no-the-less.

Bruce: Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the Tower, it was still all over the news.

Steve: The Stark Tower? That big, ugly...

Steve looks at Tony to see him giving him a 'Really dude' look.

Steve: Building in New York?

Tony and Steve continued to look at each other, Tony obviously a little pissed that Steve was mean to his building.

Bruce: It's powered by an are reactor, a self-sustaining energy source.

Bruce looks at Tony as Tony slowly nods to what Bruce is saying.

Bruce: That building will run itself for, what, a year?

Tony: It's just the prototype.

Tony says defending the fact that his building isn't as great as he wants it to be.

Tony: I'm kinda the only name in clean energy right now. That's what he's getting at.

Steve looks between the two taking in everything they just said.

Bruce: So, why didn't S.H.I.E.L.D bring him in on the Tesseract project? What are they doing in the energy business in the first place?

Tony: I should probably look into that once my decryption programme finishes breaking into all of S.H.I.E.L.D's secure files.

Steve looks generally stund at what Tony just said.

Steve: I'm sorry. Did you say...

Tony: Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours, I'll know every dirty secret S.H.I.E.L.D has ever tried to hide. Blueberry?

He said to Steve and Steve looked a little pissed at Tony.

Steve: Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around.

Tony: An intelligence organisation that fears intelligence? Historically, not awesome.

Steve: I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war and if we don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders. We should follow them.

Tony: Following's not really my style.

He says popping a blueberry in his mouth, Steve huffs clearly losing his cool with Tony's attitude.

Steve: And you're all about style, aren't you?

Tony: Of the people in this room, which one is, A, wearing a spangle outfit, and, B, not of use?

Steve and Tony continue to look at each other with ill intent, when Bruce try's to calm the situation down.

Bruce: Steve...

Steve looks at Bruce.

Bruce: ... Tell me none of this smells a little funky to you.

Steve looks at both Tony and Bruce and thinks about everything they just told him.

Steve: Just find the Cube.

Steve said as he left the room, but as he went to go one way he stopped and thought for a second before turning around and going to another location. Back in the lab Tony and Bruce continue their work.

Tony: That's the guy my dad never shut up about? I'm wondering if they shouldn't have kept him on ice.

Bruce let's out a chuckle.

Bruce: The guy's not wrong about Loki. He does have the jump on us.

Tony: what he's got is an Acme dynamite kit.

He say's as he makes his way towards Bruce.

Tony: It's going to blow up in his face.

He continues to say as he goes to another computer in the lab.

Tony: And I'm going to be there when it does.

Bruce: Yeah. I'll read all about it.

He says as he slides a piece of information form his computer to Tony's

Tony: Or you'll be suiting up with the rest of us.

Bruce: You see, I don't get a suit of armour. I'm exposed. Like a nerve. It's a nightmare.

Tony: I've got a cluster of shrapnel trying every second to crawl its way into my heart. This stops it.

He says patting his mini arc reactor and making his way towards Bruce.

Tony: This little circle of light, it's apart of me now, not just armour. It's a terrible privilege.

Bruce: You know (Y/N) told me the same sort of thing.

Tony: Extatically...

Bruce: But you both can control it.  

Tony: Because we learnt how to.

Bruce: It's different.

He says going back to his work trying to avoid the conversation.

Tony: Hey, I read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.

Bruce: So you're saying that the Hulk...

He cringes at using his the name, then looks back at Tony.

Bruce: ... The other guy saved my life?

Tony: Venom saved my son's...

Bruce: That's nice, but (Y/N) and Venom isn't the same thing as The other guy and I...

Tony: I guess we'll find out.

Tony then went back to his station.

Bruce: You may not enjoy that.

Tony: And you just might.

Both guys went back to work trying to find the Tesseract, meanwhile Steve made his way to a restricted area and grabbed the door and pulled it open  as quietly as he possible could, he then looked over his shoulder before he walked in making sure he wasn't followed... Once he knew he was alone he walked into the room and saw a bunch of crates, not sure what was in them he continued to look around till he jumped on to a walk way and made his way to look around the room...

================================================================================

A van is seen driving through a underpass inside the van is the device that Loki is having built a long with Erik Selvig and an unknown scientist assisting Selvig in his mission. The scientist handed a pair of grabbers to Selvig, who used them to pick up the iridium and slowly and carefully moved it over the Tesseract and calmly set it done into the devices power system as the machine started and Selvig smiled to himself...

Back at the Helicarrier, there is a bit of an awkward silence from what just happened between Fury and (Y/N), but one man... Or god in this case only cared about the girl he loved, as he looked at a screen with her face on it Coulson walks beside him.

Coulson: AS soon as Loki took the Doctor, we moved Jane Foster. They've got an excellent observatory in Tromso. She was asked to consult there very suddenly yesterday. Handsome fee, private plane, very remote.

Coulson looks at Thor.

Coulson: She'll be safe.

Thor didn't take his eyes off the screen.

Thor: Thank you. It's no accident, Loki taking Erik Selvig. I dread what he plans for him once he's done. Erik is a good man.

Coulson: He talks about you a lot. You changed his life.

They both started to walk away from the screen and around the flight deck.

Coulson: You changed everything around here.

Thor: They were better as they were. We pretend on Asgard that we're more advanced but we come here, battling like bilge snipe.

Coulson looks at him confused.

Coulson: Like what?

Thor: Bilge snipe... You know, huge, scaly, big antlers.

He says the last part pretending he has antlers on top of his head, Coulson continues to shot him a weird look.

Thor: You don't have those?

Coulson: I don't think so.

Thor: Well, they are repulsive. And they trample everything in their path.

Thor walks to the window and looks out to the night sky, he takes a breath as he continues.

Thor: When I first came to Earth, Loki's rage followed me here, and your people paid the price. And now, again. In my youth, I courted war...

Thor continued to look out to the night sky till Fury made his presents known.

Fury: War hasn't started yet. You think you could make Loki tell us where the Tesseract it?

He asks seemingly not fazed by his encounter with (Y/N) and Venom.

Thor: I do not know. Loki's mind is far afield. It's not just power he craves, it's vengeance, upon me. There's no pain would prise his need from him.

Fury walked down the stairs and looked Thor dead in the eye.

Fury: A lot of guys think that until the pain starts. 

Thor: What are you asking me to do?

Fury: I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?

Thor: Loki is a prisoner.

Fury: Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat who wants to be here?

Thor looks at Fury and considers what he was just told, till Thor looked back out to the night sky and Fury and Coulson walked away...

================================================================================

Loki was walking back and forward in his cell just doing nothing but probably wait, when he felt a presents.

Loki: There's not many people who can sneak up on me.

He turned to see Natasha Romanoff in her Black Widow gear.

Nat: But you figured I'd come.

Loki: After. After whatever tortures Fury can concoct, you would appear as a friend, as a balm. And I would cooperate.

Nat just ignored him and asked.

Nat: I want to know what you've done to Agent Barton.

Loki: I would say I've expanded his mind.

Nat just looks at him and slowly makes her way towards the cell wall.

Nat: And once you've won, once you're king of the mountain, what happens to his mind?

she says as she stands by the cell door and folds her arms... Loki smirks at her.

Loki: Is this love, Agent Romanoff?

Nat: No, I love another...

Loki: Ah, yes... The man with the voice in his head, the brutal killer... Tell me is he still trying to play the good guy...

He said with a smirk trying to get inside Nat's head, but obviously it doesn't work...

Nat: I owe Barton a debt.

Loki walks backwoods and raises his arms in front of him.

Loki: Tell me.

Loki then sits on the edge of what is supposed to be his bed, and Nat sits on a chair and starts to talk.

Nat: Before I worked for S.H.I.E.L.D... I... Well, I made a name for myself. Just like (Y/N)... I have a very specific skill set... I didn't care who I used it for, or on...

Loki just sat there listening to every word she says.

Nat: ... I got on S.H.I.E.L.D'S radar in a bad way. Just like (Y/N)... Agent Barton was sent to kill me... And Fury went to kill (Y/N), if he didn't agree to join S.H.I.E.L.D, but during his time here we all found out that we can't kill him... His weakness are cancelled out but Venom and Venom's are cancelled out by (Y/N)... But Barton made a different call.

Loki: And what will you do if I vow to spare Barton?

Nat: Not let you out. 

Loki: No, but I like this. Your world in the balance, and you bargain for one man... Would you do the same for the killer.

Nat: His name is (Y/N), and of course I would...

Loki smirked at the thought that he was in her head and Nat just continued to allow him to think that he was controlling the conversation...

Nat: Regimes fall every day. I tend not to weep over that. I'm Russian. Or I was.

Loki: And what are you now?

Loki asks with that smirk still on his lips.

Nat: It's really not that complicated.

Nat says as she stands from her seat and approaches the glass.

Nat: I got red in my ledger, I'd like to wipe it out.

Loki: Can you?... Can you wipe out that much red? Dreykov's daughter...

As Loki said that Nat gained a shocked and a scared look, making Loki smile... What they didn't know was that sat on top of the cell is a certain man that has a voice in his head, begging for him to jump in to the cell and bite Loki's head off, but the man just hushed the voice and continued to listen.

Loki: Sao Paulo, the hospital fire? Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping.

Loki stood up and slowly started to make his way to the glass wall, as (Y/N) continued to listen sat on top the cell.

Loki: It's gushing red and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything?

Loki was now standing in front of the glass wall staring at the 'scared' Natasha.

Loki: This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer. Pathetic!

The camera changes to Tony and Bruce back in the lab looking through all of S.H.I.E.L.D's secrets..

Loki: You lie and kill... In the service of liars and killers.

The camera changes to Maria hill running to a random Agent, and once she gets there his screen flashes 'Virus Detected' and 'Unauthorised Access', Fury walks past and notices as well and has a concerned look on his face.

Loki: You pretend to be separate, to have your own code...

The camera once again changes to Steve looking through some of the crates and spots some gear that look a lot like the HYDRA gear from the war...

Loki: ... Something that makes up for the horrors. But they are part of you. And they will never go away.

Back with Loki and Nat, Loki bangs his fist on the glass making Nat 'jump' and look at Loki scared.

Loki: I won't touch Barton, not until I make him kill you. Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear. And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work and when he screams, I'll split his skull. This is my bargain, you mewling quim.

Nat turned away from him and started to cry, (Y/N) was about to jump down, smash the glass and kill this "God" slowly, till he heard Nat... He's heard her cry before and this wasn't her real cry, (Y/N) grinned to himself, calmed down and sat back in his spot both of Loki and Nat still not knowing of his presences.

Nat: You're a monster.

Loki chuckled and took a step away from the glass.

Loki: Oh, no. You brought the monster.

Nat turned around looking completely fine, she even had her own small smirk, she looked at Loki.

Nat: So, Banner.

Loki looked generally confused and puzzled.

Nat: That's your play.

Loki: What?

Nat put her hand to her ear and spoke into it...

Nat: Loki means to unleash the Hulk. Keep Banner in the lab. I'm on my way... And try and find Agent (L/N) we might need his help...

She says as she makes her way to the door, Loki follows her still puzzled as to what just happened... Nat stopped and looked at the puzzled Loki.

Nat: Thank you for your cooperation.

She then left and made her way to the lab, as Loki just looked on in the direction that she just left in.

Loki: What just happened?...

(Y/N): You my friend just got played...

(Y/N) said as he jumped down from the cell and sat on the chair Nat was just sat in, he sniffed the air smelling her perfume... He couldn't tell you why, but her smell just drove him crazy... Loki looked at (Y/N) as he put his feet up on the railing.

Loki: You know is not polite to listen in on people's conversation's

(Y/N): Yea but your not a person tho, are you?... No, you claim to be a God...

Loki: I am a God!

Loki said slamming his fist in the glass like he did to Nat, but (Y/N) didn't pretend to be scared in stead (Y/N) stood up and stared Loki straight in his eyes.

(Y/N): Do not interrupt me!... Thank you... Now, I don't think I have to tell you to stay away from Nat because your going to do that anyway, or we will kill you...

Loki: We?

(Y/N) smirked and Venom engulfed himself around (Y/N) and Loki for a split second had a look of fear on his face, but it quickly vanished when he remembered he was in a cell that was able to with stand the power of the Hulk... 

Venom: We...

Venom then went back inside (Y/N) and (Y/N) made his way towards the button to the trap door underneath Loki's cell... Loki once again looked a little fearful... He wasn't fully sure if he would be able to survive that fall...

(Y/N): You know... You said I play the good guy...

He then flipped the cover to the button, Loki got very nervous...

(Y/N): But I have never played the good guy... Maybe you should keep that in mind...

He then stared at Loki as his finger hovered over the drop button, Loki stared back trying not to show his fear for his life... But after a few seconds (Y/N) shut the lid to the button and stated to walk out.

(Y/N): I'll see you around... 

He then left and Loki let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding in...

================================================================================

(To Be Continued)

(Quick question... Do you want me to change the readers name to (Y/N) Stark and make him Tony's heir sort of thing, so IF Tony dies (Y/N) will take over Stark Industries, remember he is as smart as Tony (Y/N) just has a lot less opportunities to show it... Or do you want it to stay as (Y/N) (L/N)... Please do let me know)

(I managed to get this done over the course of a few days, so hopefully I will get another one up soon... It's 2:32 am right now... I'm going to bed... Also thanks to all your nice comments, it means a lot :))
