“Okay, she had done a background check on me,” Bruce says. “She had it printed out.”

“No way,” you say.

“Yeah,” Bruce nods. “And she was asking me stuff line by line while we were having dinner.”

“That’s unbelievable,” you answer as everyone laughs in agreement.

Suddenly, Wanda walks into the kitchen holding a mug of tea, smiling as she walks over to stand next to you.

“What’s going on?” she asks.

“Oh, we’re doing worst first dates,” you answer with a smile.

“Oh my god, I win,” Wanda says, eyes widened.

“What?” you laugh.

“Okay,” Wanda starts, and you look over to her curiously. “It was a minor league hockey game, he brought his brother,” she pauses. “A when I went to the bathroom, the game ended. And they forgot about me.”

“Okay, that’s a joke,” Bruce says.

“No,” Wanda shakes her head. “They had to come back for me.”

“Wait, when was this?” you ask.

“Um..it was not that long ago,” Wanda gives a small laugh.

“Wait, no way it was Vision,” Natasha says, putting down her sandwich.

Wanda laughs awkwardly before looking over to you.

You smile, walking in front of her and starting to lead her out. “Want to go play Dwight’s mug basketball?”

Wanda nods with a relieved sigh, following you out eagerly.

You keep a happy expression on your face, because now you finally know why Wanda’s always refused to go to sports games with Vision.

“Shield Industries, this is Wanda,” Wanda answers the phone.

“Wanda, it’s Tony. I need you to go into my office and read some data for me please.”

“Okay,” Wanda says, picking up the book Tony’s requested her to read in his office. “You want me to read the jokes for you?”

“Yes, please,” Tony responds on speakerphone.

“Okay, um, a fisherman is walking down 5th Avenue leading an animal behind him–”

“No, no, nope!” Tony cuts Wanda off. “I already told that joke to Fury earlier at the dinner. Pick another one.”

“Okay. There’s a transcript between a Naval ship–”

“Oh, yeah! Bingo,” Tony says. “Great, thanks, Wanda!”

“Sure,” Wanda says awkwardly. “Do you need anything else?”

“No, I’m good. But would you be able to put all those joke books back where you found them?”

“Sure,” Wanda agrees, hanging up the phone with a sigh.

Opening up the drawer to return the books strewn across Tony’s desk, Wanda’s eye immediately catches a thick stack of paper. Picking it up, Wanda has to cover her mouth to stop from bursting out in laughter.

You’re mindlessly clicking your mouse when suddenly, a huge stack of stapled paper is thrown onto your desk.

Reading the title, your eyes widen as you look over to Wanda who leans against the table casually.

“Is this real?” you ask, near giddy.

“It’s a screenplay,” Wanda pauses. “Starring himself.” “Agent Iron Man,” you read out.

“Of the FBI,” Wanda finishes.

“How long is this?” you laugh, flipping through the pages. “Oh my god, Wanda. Good work.”

Wanda laughs.

“Oh, no way,” you say, finding the last few pages and holding them up. “Drawings.”

“What is that?” Wanda asks.

“Oh, those are drawings,” you respond easily. “In case the writing didn’t really put a picture in your head.”

Wanda snickers, biting her lip to keep from laughing too hard.

“And there he is, in the flesh,” you say, pointing to the drawing. “Agent Iron Man. Now we know what he looks like.”

“So, do we all have our copy of Armored Adventures, by Tony Stark?” you ask the office staff gathered around the conference room table.

Everyone makes a sound of agreement.

“Great, so, let’s get started. I’m gonna be reading the action descriptions,” you say. “And Steve, I would like you to play Captain America, the first Avenger.”

“Oh, cool that’s the name of the character?” Steve asks.

Suddenly, Sam barges into the room, and angered expression on his face. “Okay, you guys should not be doing this,” he states firmly.

“Why not, Sam?” you ask. “This is a movie. This is for all of America to enjoy.”

“You took something that does not belong to you,” he responds.

“Sam.”

“You brought it in here, you made copies–”

“Sam, do you want to play the lead role of Agent Iron Man?” you ask, giving him a questioning look.

Sam pauses.

“Okay, sure.”

“Inside the FBI, Agent Iron Man sits with his feet up at the desk,” you read. “Captain America enters.”

“Tony, you have some messages,” Steve reads.

“Not now!” Sam reads emphatically.

“They’re important,” Steve says.

“Fine, what are they?” Sam asks.

A few moments pass, when suddenly, a knock on the door is heard.

“Vision,” Wanda says, making you turn around suddenly, noticing the man.

Wanda runs up, greeting him with a kiss. “Hey, um, I have to work late,” she says.

Vision gives her an incredulous look, hearing the absurd scene between Spider-Man and Agent Iron Man currently being read in the conference room. “You’re joking, right?”

Wanda shakes her head.

“Agent Iron Man takes out a nine millimeter gun and shoots the cake to bits,” you read.

Sam imitates the shooting of the cake.

“Ha ha ha, Agent Iron Man, you’re so funny,” Peter says.

“A man sitting several seats down who has clown makeup on, turns to Agent Iron Man,” you turn to Bruce. “Bruce, want to play the Joker?”

“Sure,” Bruce nods, clearing his throat. “Agent Iron Man, perhaps you would be more comfortable in my clown car?”

“Yes, perhaps I would, Joker,” Sam says. “Spider-Man, get my luggage.”

“Sorry, I forgot it,” Peter reads.

“God, Spider-Man, you’re a terrible assistant!” Sam reads. “I can’t believe I hired you, Sem.” Sam pauses. “Wait, who’s Sem?”

You turn to Wanda with an amused smile, who matches your expression.

“I don’t think the search and replace works on typos,” Wanda says to you through a burgeoning smile.

“So, Spider-Man is the terrible assistant ‘causing the downfall of the United States?” you ask, holding back your laughter.

“Also known as Sam Wilson,” Wanda chuckles.

You and Wanda look over to Sam, who before your eyes, realizes what Tony has done, making the man throw the script onto the table in anger.

“Okay, you know what, this is stupid. I’m done,” he says, abruptly sitting up from his chair and leaving the conference room.

“Sam, some of us want to keep reading,” you tell him.

Sam turns to you. “Uh, you don’t speak for everyone, Y/N,” he responds, crossing his arms, before turning to the rest of the office. “Okay, announcement. My uncle bought me some fireworks. And anyone who wants to see a real show come outside with me right now.”

“That’s actually a pretty good idea,” you nod, starting to sit up from your chair. “We’ll all take a brief intermission.” You turn to Wanda. “Hey, are you hungry?”

“Yeah,” Wanda says, grateful you’ve asked.

“Yeah?” you ask. “Okay, come with me.”

While you may have had plans to meet a friend tonight, which you’ve now had to cancel, spending your evening preparing grilled cheese sandwiches for you and Wanda in the office kitchen isn’t something you’re upset at whatsoever. In fact, you would say it’s pretty great, and you’re not really a complainer either.

“Hi,” Wanda says, greeting you as you make your way up the ladder to the roof of the building, holding a box of accessories for the two of you as you watch the fireworks together.

“Hey,” you laugh, setting the box down before making your way to sit in the chair next to hers. “What’s that for?” you ask, pointing to the candle she’s attempting to light.

“For the bugs,” she answers easily.

“Nice,” you nod, before turning to grab the sandwiches you’ve prepared. “That’s great, because bugs, tend to love my famous grilled cheese sandwiches.”

“Them and me both,” Wanda laughs, grabbing the plate you’ve made for her. Then, after a moment, she speaks, “I can’t remember the last time someone made me diner.”

You pause, before grabbing your sandwich from the bag as well.

“Oh, look,” Wanda points to the fireworks Sam’s beginning to light. “Wow,” you say, finally enjoying something Sam has created in the 7 years you’ve known him.

“They’re really nice,” Wanda states, before resting her head on your shoulder as the two of you spend the evening watching the sparkling lights together.

“They really are,” you say quietly.

“So, I guess I’ll see you in,” Wanda pauses to check her phone. “10 hours,” she grins.

“Mhm,” you nod, following her out the building.

“What are you gonna do with your time off?” she jokes.

“Travel,” you answer easily with a nod. “I’ve been looking forward to it.” You smile. “I’m gonna really find myself, you know?” you finish, fishing your phone out of your pocket and putting in one of your earbuds.

Wanda looks over to you curiously. “You have new music?” she asks.

You look down to your phone. “Oh, yeah! Want to listen?” You offer her the other earbud.

Wanda nods, smiling as you hand her the earbud she immediately places in her ear, the two of you standing within inches of each other as you share your song.

“Wanda,” you run up to her desk excitedly the second you walk in the next day.

“Yeah?” Wanda laughs.

“I think Tony might’ve gotten together with someone from corporate last night,” you say, making Wanda gasp. “He didn’t come back for his car.”

“Oh, my god, that makes so much sense! That’s why Tony had me read out his stupid jokes over the phone,” she says in realization.

“Well, good for him. I don’t think he’s had a first date, in like ever,” you laugh, before looking over to her. “You know, some might say we even had our first date last night,” you smile.

“Oh really?” Wanda asks. “Why might some say that?”

“Uh, ‘cause there was dinner. By candlelight,” you answer.

“Mhm,” Wanda nods.

“Dinner and a show, if you include Tony’s movie,” you continue. “There was a bit of dancing, and fireworks. So, pretty good date.” “We didn’t dance,” Wanda says, chuckling.

“You’re right,” you say, suddenly feeling very awkward as you put your hands in your pockets. “But um, it was more like, swaying.”

“Right,” Wanda says. “Pretty good first date with you.”

You perk up. “Thanks.”

“Mhm,” Wanda nods. “Now, I have some faxes to get out, okay?” she says, standing up from her chair, giving you a kiss on the cheek before heading to the fax machine.

You smile, watching her leave, forgetting for a moment that it truly isn’t a date if the girl goes home to her fiancé at the end of the day.

Sleight of Hand (and Twist of Fate)

This is a fill for today’s  @flashfictionfridayofficial  prompt [#FFF309 Two Truths, One Lie], along with my @winterironevents   bingo prompt AU: FBI agent.

Fandom: MCU/Marvel Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Tony Stark Rating: General Tags: Modern Bucky Barnes, AU: Agents and Spies, Hidden Identities.  Summary:   James Buchanan Barnes is an FBI agent tasked with determining the identity of Iron Man, all the while nursing a  secret celebrity crush on Tony Stark.    Word Count:  385  words 

It was true that Tony Stark had designed the Iron Man armor; the technology was clearly the creation of the rich, eccentric genius.   It was also true that Iron Man was an unknown vigilante, answering to no authority other than their own. So far, that power had been used for good, but there was no guarantee that would continue to be the case.  It was for that reason that the FBI was getting involved.  

Special Agent James Buchanan Barnes had lobbied his superiors hard to be assigned to the investigation, citing his expertise in computer forensics.   Coulson didn’t need to know that James happened to have a ridiculous celebrity crush on Tony Stark, who was obviously a person of interest. 

Unfortunately, the brilliant inventor and head of Stark Industries had gone into seclusion after the one-two punch of his kidnapping and the death of his mentor, Obadiah Stane.     Stark had handed the day-to-day running  of his company  over to his former PA, Virginia Potts, so that’s where James started his search.    

“I haven’t seen Tony in months,” Ms. Potts explained with a small shrug,   “He only communicates via email or texts, which could be sent from anywhere in the world.”    

“And, presumably,” James replied, “traced back to wherever they were sent from.”

 The corner of Ms. Potts’ lips curled up into something resembling a smirk.  “You could try.” 

After securing a subpoena,  James found himself wading through gigabytes of communications from Stark to various individuals in his company – and grudgingly admitting to himself that Ms. Potts had made her point.  

There was no rhyme or reason:  emails sent supposedly within hours from one another pointed  to IPs  halfway across the world from one another.  Even VPNs didn’t create this kind of tangled mess,  James knew.    The texts didn’t give him any more of a clue, either - he was clearly dealing with someone who didn’t want to be found. 

After several late nights spent at the office, James was at his wit’s end.  Just before he was ready to log off, his personal cellphone buzzed in his pocket.   He frowned; he could have sworn he’d turned it off, per building protocol.

Glancing at his screen, he read:   “I am given to understand you wish to make contact with Doctor Stark. Perhaps I may be of assistance.”

Yes - I do plan on writing more of this - once further inspiration and free time align! Stay tuned....

Visitors, Chapter 3 - Eyes of the Father

Summary: Bucky has to deal with intruders at Lacey’s cabin. Recognized by them he has to leave but he advises her to call the FBI to arrest the four men. A month later, Lacey seeks out Steve Rogers for help.

Length: 5.2 K

Characters: Bucky, Lacey, Agent Jones, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff, unnamed Russian mobsters.

Warnings: Violence, angst, anger.

❤️ ❤️ 💔

A hand on her mouth woke Lacey and she heard Bucky's voice whisper in her ear. "There's someone outside," he said. "I'm going to put my clothes on and check it out. Can you get into the attic by yourself and pull up the ladder?"

"Yes," she said, suddenly afraid. "You be careful."

"I always am," he replied and he went to his room quietly.

Lacey threw some clothes on and went out to the main room, pulling down the ladder and going up. She pulled the ladder up behind her and sat in the corner of the attic, near the window, trying to see what was going on outside. She did see one man, with a gun, when Bucky came up behind him unseen and unheard. He put the man into a chokehold, knocking him out. Then he disarmed him and pulled him into the bushes. She heard the sound of a door opening into the house and held her breath, afraid to move. The door opened again and there was the sound of a scuffle followed by silence. Several minutes later the door opened once more and she heard a muffled whisper in a language she couldn't recognize. There was another scuffle which lasted longer but again ended in silence.

A sound outside the window drew her attention and she watched as a big man with a shaved head came across the yard. He looked up at the window and she pulled back immediately, afraid she had been seen. A few minutes later the sound of the door to the attic being pulled down reached her ears and she heard someone coming up the ladder. Terrified, Lacey tried to hide herself in the darkness. A man's head peeked out from the opening, seeming to look right at her. It took all of her willpower not to scream. Suddenly he was pulled down and she could hear the sound of a brawl in the house. Creeping to the opening on her hands and knees she saw glimpses of Bucky, carrying a kitchen knife in his hand, as he fought the man. It was incredible to watch him. He was fast, brutal, and he fought like a demon against a man who was obviously skilled in this type of fighting. Bucky was so much more skilled in his fighting technique that it seemed he was almost playing with the man, waiting for the moment when he could take him down. He finally pinned the man down putting the knife through his palm, and into the floor. With his artificial hand Bucky punched him repeatedly until the man was unconscious before he stopped and sat back on his heels, his breathing barely noticeable. He looked up the stairs.

"Are you okay?" he called.

"Yes," she answered back.

"Do you have duct tape?" he asked. "They need to be immobilized until the FBI gets here. They're Russian and they were talking about the flash drive."

"In my desk," she said. "Do you want me to get it?

"No, stay up there for a bit," he replied. "I'll take care of it."

He opened her desk drawer, located the duct tape and began to hog tie the three men, frisking them to make sure they weren't carrying any other weapons. Then he went outside, found the fourth and carried him inside, hog tying him and frisking him as well. Only then would he allow her to come down, turning on the light so she could see. She looked at the four men then at Bucky.

"You took down four men and you're barely winded," she said, impressed.

"It's what I do," he replied, then he lifted a shirt on one of the men, showing her a distinctive tattoo. "Russian mob. Some of the mobs were involved in HYDRA as well, on the trafficking side, kidnapping people to be their slaves." The man with the shaved head came to and looked at Bucky then said "Soldat." Bucky said something in Russian back to him and looked back at Lacey. "I told him I don't do that anymore. He recognized me. It means I'm going to have to leave. They can't get word to HYDRA that I was here. I'm sorry. You need to go to your mom's house as soon as you can or they'll come back for you and for the drive."

She nodded. "I guess this is goodbye then," she said, looking down.

He raised her chin with his hand. "I'm sorry," he said again, gently. "The less you know about my plans the better. You may have to sell this place otherwise they'll watch you to see if I return."

"What will I tell the FBI about these four?" she asked.

"The truth," he replied. "They won't believe you outsmarted four Russian heavies so tell them it was me. Then tell them I left right away and you don't know where I went. Phone them right now. They'll send a small army to deal with these four."

She nodded and phoned Agent Jones again to tell him she was just saved by Bucky Barnes from four Russian mobsters. He practically yelled into the phone, telling her to stay put. Bucky went into the bedroom while she spoke to Jones. Once she hung up she went to the room and saw he had packed his backpack. He stepped forward, pushed the door closed, and grasped her by the shoulders touching her cheek softly then kissing her deeply. He went to the window, opened it and climbed out. As she looked outside she spotted him near some bushes in the distance. Turning back he blew her a kiss then he disappeared into the bushes. With a sob, she felt as if part of her insides had been ripped out.

Returning to the living room the man who had spoken to Bucky looked at her. "The soldier belongs to HYDRA," he said in heavily accented English. "When they get him back they will send him to kill you and he will because it was what he was programmed to do. You can run but the soldier will find you. He always does."

"Fuck you," she replied and the man smirked at her bravado.

Sitting with the Russians waiting for the FBI to arrive gave her the creeps by itself, but it was almost worse as the bald headed man watched her every move. The other three, once they came to, also watched her in a way that was unnerving. They spoke with each other in Russian and several times laughed, making Lacey think they were talking about her and not in a respectful way. She was glad Bucky had taped them up making it impossible for them to get loose. Twenty long minutes later three black vehicles and a paddy wagon with lights flashing pulled up into the yard. Agent Jones was in the lead vehicle and came right inside without knocking on the door. He lifted the four men's faces up off the floor and sneered at them, then ordered his men to get them out of there. Another man took their weapons which Bucky had left piled on the table. Once they were gone he looked at Lacey expectantly.

"The flash drive?" he asked.

"You wouldn't be getting it if he hadn't been here," said Lacey, as she walked into the spare room. "Where was your guy, huh? Why didn't he pick it up last night?"

Jones grabbed her arm and spun her around. "You are very close to being arrested for harbouring a known fugitive," he said. "A very dangerous fugitive. He's a killer."

"Who saved my life," she reminded him as she yanked her arm out of his grip. "Those four, will they make bail? Will they come back to take me out? Bucky told me they're traffickers for HYDRA, scum of the earth, in other words. Will you protect me from them?"

"How long was he here?" asked Jones, his face just inches from hers, close enough that she could see the pores on his skin. "Did you know him before your brother came here?"

Lacey stepped back, intimidated by his anger. "No," she replied in a resigned manner. "He was hiding in the garage, injured. I didn't know who he was at the time but he asked for my help. It was after you left. He slept in the spare room, helped me with some of the house repairs. When those guys showed up he took them out, without killing them. Told me to phone you and to tell you the truth that it was him that helped me. So, I'm not going to believe you when you call him a dangerous killer. Is he dangerous ... yes, but not to me. Is he a killer? Not any more. You can believe me or not. Now let me get you that flash drive."

She went into the spare bedroom, pulled out the night table, lifted the loose piece of wood and took the flash drive out. Shoving it into his hand she looked at him harshly in the early morning light.

"By the way, he found your listening devices," she said. "I was nothing but truthful to you and yet you put listening devices into my home, as if I was a common criminal. Shame on you."

He shrugged. "Sorry," he said. "That decision came from higher up."

"Well perhaps your higher ups might be interested to know that those four Russians knew about the flash drive," she said. "If Tom didn't tell them then somebody in the FBI did. Chew on that. Now get out of my house."

He looked sharply at her and left the house while she followed him outside. Making a circular motion with his hand while holding it up in the air his associates got back into the SUVs and they pulled out. Then Lacey got dressed, made herself a coffee and sat at the table deciding what to do. She walked through the house, looking at and touching things, bringing back memories. After a time she phoned a realtor on her cell phone and told her she wanted to list the property immediately, as is, buyer take everything. Once she hung up, she broke down crying.

"I'm sorry Grandpa," she cried, looking around her. "I have to sell it. It's too dangerous for me now."

She started to pack her suitcases, then found a couple of boxes and packed up her books. For a moment she smiled when she realized her book, Confessions of a Broken White Girl, was missing.

"Son of a bitch, he took it," she said. "Maybe I will see him again."

She finished packing the books, then put the assorted pictures she had into the box with them. Looking around she tried to decide what else to take and she saw them, her Grandpa's LPs. He wanted to hear them all so she would play them for him and found she had an appreciation for big band music, as that comprised most of his collection. Going out into the garage she found some milk crates and emptied them of their contents. Inside the house she transferred the LPs into them, then put them into the trunk of her car.

Once more she looked around the living room area again but she didn't see anything else that was meaningful to her. She went into the spare room and looked around then saw something on the dresser. She hadn't noticed it when she went in to get the flash drive but she noticed it now. It was a paper heart, made origami style. She picked it up and turned it over. Written in pen in beautiful handwriting on the back were the words I will remember you, B. Sitting on the bed she held the paper heart in her hand and cried. They were over before they had ever started and he was gone forever. Her grandpa's robe was on the bed and she picked it up smelling Bucky's clean scent on it.

Slowly she took some deep breaths, calming her emotions then she put the paper heart inside of her favourite book, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and packed it back in the book box. From there she went to her room and looked around to see if there was anything she wanted to take with her. She folded up her grandmother's quilt then spotted her Grandpa's Korea medals, taking the shadow box gently into her hands. She wrapped it up in the robe, putting it and the quilt in the box with her books. As she came out of the bedroom there was a knock at the door and she opened the door to the realtor, who had got out there quickly. Lacey showed her around and explained that something had come up that required her immediate attention, that she wouldn't be able to return to pack up the house. After discussing an opening price Lacey told her the lowest price she would accept. She signed the contract, shook hands with the realtor and watched her leave with the spare set of keys. Then she packed the LPs and book boxes in her car's trunk, putting her suitcases in the back seat. After locking up the house she stood outside looking at it, at her failed dream, and got into her car. When she pulled away she didn't look back.

One month later

It was difficult waiting for the results of the final pregnancy test. Lacey had bought three of them, after three days straight of throwing up. The first two were both positive and now she was waiting for this one. The egg timer buzzed and she picked up the final test ... pregnant. She took a deep breath. How had this happened? Bucky was sure he was sterile and she had been on the pill. However it had happened it was real and now she had a decision to make. Was she going to keep it or get rid of it? She looked around at her bachelor suite. It was tiny, a furnished rental, under her grandmother's maiden name so that the Russian mob couldn't find her. She couldn't raise a baby there. But it was Bucky's baby and if it had his eyes .... Lacey opened her banking app and looked at her bank balance. The property had sold quickly, bought by a man who wanted to build a golf resort and paid a premium for the place, even though someone had broken in and trashed the insides. She could buy a house anywhere she wanted but she was afraid of being found if she did. Closing her app she opened her contacts and looked at the one for Agent Jones. She wanted to trust him so badly but he had hung her out to dry when she told him about the flash drive. A story on the TV caught her attention and she turned up the sound. It was about the Avengers. Captain America, Steve Rogers, was being interviewed about the day he fought the Winter Soldier at the Triskelion and almost died. They pressed him repeatedly about Bucky Barnes until he got angry and looked at the reporter.

"Bucky Barnes served his country in World War II and fell while in action," he said angrily. "He was taken as a POW by HYDRA, tortured, brainwashed and turned into a weapon. When I fought him he could have killed me but he began to remember who we were to each other and he saved my life. He needs to be brought in and be treated for his torture, then rehabilitated back into society. I will fight every minute for the rest of my life for Bucky."

He continued to glare at the reporter until they stopped recording. Lacey took a deep breath. Maybe he was someone she could ask for help and she impulsively booked a plane ticket to New York on her phone. Somehow she was going to talk to Steve Rogers, even if she had to camp out in front of Stark Tower to do it. The next morning she packed an overnight bag and hailed a cab to the airport. She checked in, using her real ID, and the counter agent looked at her.

"Ma'am, could you please stand aside?" she said quietly. "You have been flagged and someone is coming to speak to you."

"I need to get on this flight," insisted Lacey.

"We will do our best ma'am but it is important that you see this individual first," said the agent, apologetically.

A security guard appeared and Lacey sighed, stepping aside. He escorted her to an office behind the security station and opened a door for her to wait in a room. Five minutes later Agent Jones walked in and Lacey turned away from him in distaste.

"Don't do that," he said testily. "I am trying to help you but it was hard when we didn't know where you were. You booked a flight last night for New York and we waited for you to show up today. Are you meeting Bucky Barnes there?"

"Are you kidding me?" she said, looking at him with disgust. "You think I'm meeting him? I haven't seen him since the day the Russians tried to get the flash drive. I haven't heard from him either."

"Why did you sell your house then?" he asked. "Making a little nest egg to support both of you when you meet up with him again?"

"I am not meeting up with him again," said Lacey angrily. "Why don't you believe me? Bucky told me to sell up so the Russians couldn't find me again. Considering the leak that is likely in the FBI I thought it was good advice and I took it. You did know someone came to the house after I left and went through it? Good thing the buyer wanted the property and not the house."

"Then why go to New York?" he asked, looking at her intently. "What was so important that you had to get there?"

"I wanted to talk to Steve Rogers," she snapped. "You happy? I wanted to tell him that I had encountered Bucky. Then I was going to ask his help in finding a safe place for me to live. What would be safer than living with the Avengers?"

He stared at her and she stared right back at him, fed up with his fixation on Bucky. "That's it?" he asked. "You just figured you could walk up to Stark Tower, ask to see Steve Rogers and they would welcome you with open arms?"

"I'm an ordinary person who has had an extraordinary month since my brother was killed," she replied. "I'm not a criminal genius. It seemed like a good idea at the time. By the way, how goes the investigation into my brother's murder?"

Jones sighed. "I'm not the enemy," he declared. "You have all this anger towards me and I really don't know why. If you say you haven't heard from Bucky then I'll have to believe you. He's still wanted and there is still a shoot to kill order on him." He put up his hand when Lacey began to protest. "I told the CIA how he helped us arrest four heavies in the Russian mob but they dismissed it outright. The flash drive proved your brother's innocence and our forensic accountants are still examining it to determine where the money is." Jones sat back and looked at her again as if deciding his next course of action. She tried her best to ignore him.

"I'm going to give you my personal phone number," he said, taking a card out of his wallet and writing on it. "You were right to be angry at me for not coming for the flash drive sooner. I was under orders at the time and it did endanger your life. For that I am sorry, truly sorry. For what it's worth I think asking Steve Rogers for help is a good idea. You are still at risk from the mob because they likely think your brother told you more than he did. I'm going to escort you to your flight and when you get off the plane in New York there will be an agent who will pick you up and drive you to Stark Tower. His name is Edgar Rodriguez and this is what he looks like." Jones showed her a picture from his phone. "He will set up the meet with Steve Rogers. Whatever happens after that is between you two. Good luck and I do mean it."

The man was as good as his word, walking Lacey to the gate where they were holding the flight for her. When she came off the jet Agent Rodriguez was waiting for her and he drove her straight to Stark Tower, walking her inside to the security station and identifying her as Lacey Williams. A young woman came out of the secure area, greeted her and asked Lacey to come with her to the elevator. As they went up Lacey became nauseous and asked for a washroom so she could vomit. The woman looked at her strangely but showed her to a very well appointed one when the elevator stopped, where Lacey promptly threw up. After rinsing her mouth Lacey thanked her for her patience and followed her to a lounge area where Steve Rogers and Tony Stark were sitting on stools, talking. Both men held out their hands to shake hers and invited her to sit on a sofa while they sat across from her.

"Miss Williams," said Steve. "How can I help you?"

"I saw you on TV last night, sticking up for Bucky Barnes," she said, looking nervously at Tony Stark as she spoke. "I was with him just over a month ago." Both Steve and Tony became very interested. "I found him, injured in my garage. He said he had been cornered by HYDRA here in New York, shot in the leg, had to jump into the Hudson River and swim to Staten Island. My home, at that time, was in Delaware. He stayed with me for a short time, helped me with some repairs to the house then saved my life when some Russian mobsters came to find a flash drive left there by my brother. He was found dead in his car, murdered just after Bucky showed up."

"So, you're just here to update us on Barnes whereabouts?" asked Tony. "Do you know where he is now?"

"No, he left after telling me to call the FBI to pick up the four mobsters," she said. "He was trying to stow away on a container ship to Europe out of either Baltimore or Philadelphia. Whether he did or not is unknown to me."

"I don't understand," said Steve. "You could have called with this information. Why did you want to see me in person?"

"Because I don't know who else to trust," said Lacey, as tears started forming and her throat constricted. "You see, we slept together. I was on the pill and Bucky said he believed he was sterile from everything HYDRA did to him, but I started throwing up a few days ago. I'm pregnant, with Bucky's baby. I took three over the counter pregnancy tests and they all confirmed it. If HYDRA or even the CIA find out I'm afraid they'll come looking for me and the baby."

Both men sat there, their mouths open, then they looked at each other. "Can you prove it's Barnes?" asked Tony, and Steve glared at him. "I know how that sounds and I'm sorry for saying it but how do we know you're not some fortune hunter?"

"Because I already have half a million in the bank after I sold my home to some resort developer, in the event more Russians showed up," began Lacey. "I also have this." She pulled her copy of Pride and Prejudice out and brought out the origami heart, handing it to Steve. "He left this for me. I figured you, of all people, would recognize his handwriting."

Steve looked at it and stood up, looking at it again. He handed it to Tony and walked around considering everything that Lacey had just told him.

"Barnes doesn't know about the baby," stated Tony.

"No, I haven't heard from him since he left," said Lacey. "The message on that heart sounded pretty final to me and I've accepted that. I'm just more concerned about protecting the baby from those who would use him to find Bucky and arrest him."

"They might also want to study the baby," mused Tony to Steve. "A super soldier baby. Bruce thinks the genetic changes from both of your serums would be passed on to any children you have. I know lots of people in the CIA who would want to get their hands on that baby."

"So would HYDRA," said Steve, "especially if they could use it to lure Bucky back."

"Even though he's not in their hands Bucky said HYDRA can still control him," stated Lacey. "A sequence of activation words would make him compliant and he would obey any order they gave him. One of the Russians said the same thing. He hasn't killed since he saved you from drowning, for what it's worth."

"Tony, we need to locate Bucky and bring him in," insisted Steve. "As long as HYDRA has those activation words to control him he's a danger to himself and to us. But if we bring him in we can treat him. At the very least we need to keep Miss Williams here so that no one finds out she's carrying Bucky's baby."

"Who's carrying Bucky's baby?" said a female voice, belonging to Natasha Romanoff, who had just walked in.

It was Tony's turn to glare at Steve. "Natasha, meet Lacey Williams," said Tony. "She claims to be carrying Bucky Barnes' baby. How far along are you?"

"A month," replied Lacey. "I don't claim ... I am carrying his baby."

Natasha sat down and looked critically at Lacey. "How equipped is Bucky?" she asked bluntly of her. Steve and Tony both looked at her in almost horror. She looked back with feigned innocence. "What? He was involved in Red Room training and there were stories."

Lacey turned red in the face. "Very," she admitted as she glanced nervously at the two men. "The biggest I've ever seen. He knew how to use it as well. It was the best sex I've ever had, not that I've had a lot of experience."

"She's been with him," declared Natasha. "I'm sure Bruce can run some test to determine the father. We still have blood samples from Bucky, right? He was supposed to be sterile, they called him...."

"The dud of a stud, he told me," said Lacey.

Natasha tilted her head, a slight smile on her face. "They were filling him with all sorts of chemicals tweaking his physique, among other things," she explained to the men. "Those of us in the Red Room figured all the chemicals they were pumping into him while trying to come up with the perfect assassin probably made him sterile. They wanted him to breed with several Red Room candidates who hadn't had their graduation ceremony. Didn't stop Bucky trying, when he was the soldier of course. When he was not under control he refused to take advantage. Another reason he was a disappointment to them in that regard." She looked at Steve then at Tony. "Lacey is going to live here, right? If HYDRA or the CIA find out about the baby they'll come looking for her. We need to protect them both."

"Alright, she can live here," decided Tony. "But other than Bruce no one else needs to know." They agreed. "Miss Williams, where are you living now? We can provide assistance to you to pack up your things and bring them here."

"Philadelphia, in a furnished bachelor apartment," she replied. "I rented it under my grandmother's maiden name. I just have clothes, books, LPs and and some personal items."

"I'll help you," said Natasha. "It will give us a chance to get acquainted better. Which room, Tony?"

"Are you a morning person or an evening person, Miss Williams?" asked Tony.

"Morning, I guess," replied Lacey. "Just call me Lacey. My mom was a big fan of Cagney and Lacey."

"Give her one facing east, so Lacey can see the morning sun," decided Tony. "You can use the quinjet to fly there and take some help to carry Lacey's things. No point putting her on a commercial jet again when we can get it done faster."

Ninety minutes later Natasha, Clint, and Lacey had packed her things. Clint was only told that Lacey had run afoul of the Russian mob and the FBI couldn't guarantee her safety. He brought a dolly to load the boxes and quietly took load after load to the quinjet. Lacey wrote her notice and dropped it off under the door of the building manager. With Clint at the quinjet controls they were soon back at Stark Tower. He brought all the boxes and records on the dolly to Lacey's quarters then left Natasha to help unpack Lacey's things. Natasha looked at the selection of clothing and mentioned that she had to take Lacey shopping for some new clothes, which Lacey declined since she would need maternity clothes soon enough. Then Natasha saw the origami heart when Lacey took it out of the Pride and Prejudice copy.

"Bucky made this for you?" she asked. "It looks like he never expected to see you again. Surely, you're going to tell him about the baby?"

"I don't know where he is," said Lacey. "We only had the one night, so it's not like we had a commitment going into it. If they find him then I'll consider it but I don't think I will ever see him again."

"Then why have his baby?" asked Natasha gently.

"Because I can't stop thinking of him," admitted Lacey, a tear streaming down her cheek. "If the baby has his eyes then a part of him will always be with me and that will have to be good enough."

"They'll find him," said Natasha, putting her arm around Lacey's shoulders. "I'm sure of it."

Lacey smiled, hoping that Natasha was right. When she joined them all for dinner Tony introduced her as someone who needed protection from the Russian mob. Since the FBI seemed to have a leak they had been asked to keep her in Stark Tower for her own safety. He also announced that she was pregnant but that the father was missing. Everyone was kind to her but she did notice Tony talking privately to another dark haired man with both of them looking at her. She assumed it was about the baby and hoped that she could prove she was carrying Bucky's baby.

[newtmas2500]

to start off, here are some

✨HONORABLE MENTIONS✨

Or some absolute BEAUTIES that just didn’t quite make the final cut, only because all of the others are just THAT GOOD. But they still deserve a shoutout (also I’m gonna try to keep it short and not go off on tangents but it’s hard 😭)

1. Revolutions by AlphabetMinusQ

Fandom: Stray Kids (Kpop)

Pairing: Han Jisung/Lee Minho

Author summary:

When Jisung was admitted to the country’s premiere university, he was excited to finally be able to make music, real music. He was expecting his experience in the capital city to be exciting, but not this terrifying.

The state has eyes everywhere, and Jisung does his best not to catch them.

My notes:

you don’t need to know anything about stray kids to read this. Wonderfully engaging, and a terrifyingly realistic look into the life and escape of refugees from a totalitarian regime.

2. Gale Song (Series) by tomorrowsrain

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Pairing: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

Author Summary:

“The past beats inside me like a second heart. These fragments I have shored against my ruins."

In which Tony Stark makes a reckless decision, becomes a wanted fugitive, goes on the run with the former Winter Soldier, and learns how to forgive. For his part, Bucky Barnes is just trying to hold himself together. AU, post-Civil War.

My Notes:

To read this, you need to have an understanding of the captain America and Iron man movies up to civil war. I’d also recommend reading the first work in this series to get the full experience. Beyond that it’s a great fic with compelling, complex explorations of both Bucky and Tony, and is one of the few works I’ve read that doesn’t dehumanize Bucky, and is actually really funny.

3. Brilliant Smiles and Barely Scraping By by fullcollapse

Fandom: Panic! At The Disco

Pairing: Ryan Ross/Brendon Urie

Author Summary:

Brendon’s holding something inside of himself. It’s far from his heart; that’s where his favorite songs are kept. What he keeps secret is held in a place that Brendon himself doesn’t even want to try to find. If Brendon couldn’t fight battles, Ryan was more than ready to fight for him.

My Notes:

An oldie but a goodie. Not remotely into Ryden or emo stuff in general but this one still hits hard. No need to know anything about the people to enjoy. Fair warning though, the main plot deals with SA and the story is a fairly tough read because of it

4. All The Angels and The Saints by Speranza

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Pairing: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

Author Summary:

In which Steve Rogers loses God and finds God and loses God, and also: Bucky.

My Notes:

Really good quality. This is like, exactly what the best of stucky fanfiction should feel like. It hits my soft spot for pre war stucky, and is an excellent character study that actually holds both characters as true to canon, just more developed. The religious imagery throughout is also heartbreakingly powerful.

5. Indisputable Changers by Ariatschki

Fandom: Stray Kids (kpop group)

Parings: no romantic pairing, OT8

Author Summary:

It wasn’t his fault the plan hadn’t gone well. In the end, instead of getting the money delivered to him safely, he had grabbed it from the man’s van and just made a break for it.

Stupid? Yes.

Dangerous? Absolutely.

Did he regret it? Would be decided depending on whether a bullet would burry itself inside of him or not.

“Two rights, and Minho is waiting for you”, Seungmin spoke again, voice tight.

Or: Chan has gathered a group of people to work with the FBI to solve theftst and other white collar crimes. A group full of experts from different areas.

But when they are met with the most important case yet, with three FBI agents already turned up dead, will they be able to solve it?

When something happens to one of their own, will all of them make it out unscathered?

My Notes:

Possibly my personal fanfiction series if we’re going solely by personal bias. This series is so fun and captivating, and is not romance centered at all. The first work in the series BROKE MY HEART, I actually had to skip to the end of the second part just to make sure things ended up okay. It’s still going, and the current work is really good. The relationship between all eight boys is really accurate to their actual dynamic, and the whole thing is just so interesting. Also, no prior knowledge of stray kids is necessary to read .

mist you already by starrey_night; T, 1-10k; social media/chat fic; fucking hilarious

After the Mist mysteriously disappears, the world of Greek mythology is exposed, and the response is … just as you expected. A story told through social media

Baby Blofis College Fund by zipadeea; T; 3k; hilarious and made me feel very connected to Sally

Valerie calls her an hour later. “Sally, what the hell?” “That bad, huh?” “Bad? Sally, it’s gold. I went from squirming in my seat to crying genuine tears. And that twist, making him a Greek god, it’s exactly what we’re looking for right now. How soon can you get me the next chapter?” *** In which Sally Jackson realizes by the time the new baby is eighteen, a semester of college will cost an arm and a leg. And those Fifty Shades of Grey books sure did make a lot of money.

percy jackson and the scrutiny of his coworkers by pqrker; G; 6k; nosy mortals is such an old but fun trope in this fandom, and this one does it really well

Jim turned back to the tank and looked at Marcie the seal, who was now staring at the spot his coworker had been standing just moments before with that same strange look of reverence in her eyes. Percy Jackson truly was the oddest person Jim Elpool had ever worked with. or 5 times percy's coworkers were confounded by his fish magic, plus 1 time they try to figure it out

Daddy Issues Inc by Librarian_Alexandria; T; 10k; THIS ONE! IS THE ONE THAT WAS SO FUNNY! YAY!

Piper changes the GC name to Daddy Issues Inc, which has little to no influence over anything, and what follows is completely unrelated. Jason introduces his fellow university freshmen to his boarding school friends, also attending Olympus University, throwing Reyna and Piper, equally oblivious and disastrous, together. but not like, together-together yet anyway its a texting fic about our favs at uni and they're chaotic and this was fun to write

Tony Stark: Appliance Whisperer by Alex51324; Avengers; T; 12k; Tony just has a way with electronics

After Tony over-reacts to some SHIELD agents breaking a microwave oven, Steve begins to wonder if there's something the team should know.

you're my cherry pie by novembersmith; Venom; E; 12k; Venom learns about human reproduction and sex. There is a powerpoint presentation.

The first time Eddie suggests they have sex, Venom is, more than anything, extremely confused.

Operation Cat Whisperer by cookies5098; Spider-man; G; 5k; poor Peter is terrorized by cats. (not as heavy on the irondad trope as the summary and tags make it sound)

Peter and the cats of New York have an understanding: he helps them down from trees and tall buildings, and in return, they ignore his spider-like traits that trigger their hunter instincts. So, he honestly thinks he'll be fine when visiting Greece, one of the stray cat capitals of the world. But he's wrong. He's so fucking wrong. Feat. Peter being a walking catastrophe—thank goodness for MJ and Ned—Morgan being a juice pops fiend, and Tony being a good dad to them both.

How To Pay For Rent 💸 by fictionfeast; poolverine; E; 42k; i've read so many poolverine fics since dp&w came out, and i can confirm, this is one of the good ones

To pay for rent, Logan and Wade take odd jobs on Craigslist.

teenage wasteland by swirlees; Spider-Man; T; 10k; the AcaDec team fucking with the FBI

He doesn't set out to be a terrorist. It just...happens. And he's not even really a terrorist. He totally recognizes that it's his fault the Chitauri core ends up on the Washington Monument, but he's not trying to cause terror, ergo, not a terrorist. Just, an accident-ist. In which Spider-Man's journey into superhero-ship leads him to the accidental terrorism that sometimes comes with it, and (if you asked him) the A+ recovery he makes, featuring big brother Deadpool, an absolutely fed up group of FBI goons, mildly entertained Daredevil and Mr. Nelson, and a weirdly very supportive, kind of terrifying GenZ AcaDec crew.

Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail by MusingsOnBuckyBarnes, owlet; stucky and other avengers; M; 100-300k; I believe this one is pretty famous in the stucky and mcu fandoms, but in case you haven't read it, read it. it's hilarious, angsty, and amazing. steve and bucky's characterizations are great. this is probably the best bucky recovery fic i've read.

The mission resets abruptly, from objective: kill to objective: protect.

Sold by flightspath; pynch; E; 7.5k; idk what to say for this. the summary speaks for itself

"Eight thousand," Ronan announced. Professor Kellogg laughed unkindly. "Young man, it seems you’re confused. You’ve only re-drawn the paddle number." "Whatever, that's my bid. Eight thousand.” Another wave of whispers and gasps rippled through the room. “I'm a mechanical engineering enthusiast." He turned to address his tablemates. "But a high school dropout,” he added in a stage whisper, as if they’d asked, “so I need a tutor." He looked back up at Professor Kellogg. "I’m stupid but rich, basically.” --- In which a date with Adam is up for auction, and things go from bad to Pynch real quick

cluck cluck, motherf- by andrealyn; minor pynch; T; 3k; great look at adam and declan's relationship

What's worse than getting sick while your significant other is away? Getting sick when your stubborn future in-law is home at the Barns with you and won't admit that they're sick too. Is stubborn pride worth suffering in silence and refusing to admit that you're worse for the wear? If it means losing a game of sick chicken, then for both Adam and Declan, it is.

Surfin' On A Sound Wave, Swingin' Through The Stars by clotpolesonly; bluesey & pynch; T; 2k; I just reread this and cried

Ronan kicked the tires of a rusty Buick and turned to look Gansey up and down. “What are you supposed to be, anyway? An aspiring yacht captain who misplaced his yacht?” Gansey leveled him with an unimpressed look. “These are just my regular clothes and you know it.” He ignored Ronan’s unrepentant sniggering in favor of checking Blue’s text again. “Jane said she has a couple’s costume planned for us but wouldn’t tell me what it is, only that I should just come to the party in my favorite outfit.” “Maybe she’ll be in bright-ass green and you can be highlighters together.” “Ha very ha.

JessJesstheBest also has very funny trc fics

hi! i also love comedy! any chance we could get some more funny fic recs?

yes, absolutely!

pjo

sorry, don't have a ton of these, I tend to read more serious fics for this fandom

keeping it fruity by buoyantsaturn; valgrace, T, 4k; Leo is both so relatable and so silly, I love it

Leo huffed. “Sorry, I just don’t think I can support such senseless violence,” he grumbled, knowing that all of the excuses he and Nico had come up with over the last few years would be useless by that point. “What is a sport, really, if not an excuse to beat some stranger to a pulp?”

sex education by CordeliaRose; solangelo, E & M, 5-20k; I'm not normally a fan of smut, so if this one got me to read smut, you know it's good

Percy tries to give Nico a sex talk. It goes about as well as anyone could have predicted.

shelter order by deniigiq; team red, G, 46k; team red quarantine group chat fic, need I say more?

Little Spidey (Pink): Hello Twitter. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Spiderman has decided that we should share with you all our private chat. We will be doing so on the condition that y’all remain cool about it. You gonna be cool? (Peter decides to raise spirits of those in isolation by sharing parts of the Team Red chat online day by day.)

Fishing Isn’t Fair to the Fish by NezumiPi; defenders, T, 17k; I was not expecting this one to have so much humor. or an exorcism.

Spoilers for Defenders S1 and prior individual shows. In a magnificent display of poor judgment, Luke Cage invites the Defenders on an upstate fishing trip in they can get to know one another better and perhaps smooth over some minor interpersonal conflicts. Contains (in no particular order): Minor interpersonal conflicts, major interpersonal conflicts, moderate impersonal conflicts, Danny Rand’s undergarments, porn for the blind, misuse of pharmaceuticals, talking swans, occasional fishing, and some seriously unpleasant business.

Mr. Stark's Home for Idiot Teenagers by OffToNewPastures; Iron family, T, 98k; tbh it's been so long since I read this one that I don't remember what it's about, but I have it marked as funny, so here you go

Peter is there, slumped over the kitchen island, slowly cramming spoonfuls of Double Chocolate Cookie Crisp into his mouth, hair tousled and sticking up every which way, and Tony realizes with sudden clarity that he’s fighting a losing battle. Maybe not today, maybe he can put it off for a while, but someday he’s just going to have to give up and love this ridiculous kid. - In which Tony Stark learns object lessons about love, sacrifice, death, friendship, and parenthood; and makes his peace with the unfortunate reality that his penthouse will be crawling with asshole teenagers every weekend for the foreseeable future. Follows canon...loosely. Ahem.

Chaotic Peter by Isnt_it_pretty_to_think_so; Iron family, T, 15-20k; this one is hilarious and painful and gripping and so so beautiful, and it has a logical path to the Iron family trope that doesn't make me cringe. I stayed up to 5 am on a weekday reading it. No regrets. (My note on ao3: "Reread first story to laugh until you cry, reread second part to feel something," if anyone was doubting how I feel about this fic.)

"Is there a reason you're calling this late at night?" Tony asks, worried in spite of himself. "Tell me what's going on, kid." “Everything is one-hundred-percent fine,” Peter says. “Seriously, I've never been better. But I should let you know I have about thirty bricks of cocaine in my bedroom. Also, Karen won't let me turn off Instant Kill Mode. Also, Walmart discontinued my special razzleberry pink squeezy lemonade. Which isn't related to tonight's patrol, I'm just bummed about it.”  Or: The five times Instant Kill Mode is activated +1

Super Duper Side Effects by awesomesockes, whumphoarder; Avengers, T, 16k; most mcu fans probably recognize this one and know it's hilarious

The downside of an enhanced metabolism is that it renders most drugs completely ineffective. Captain America accepted this long ago as an occupational hazard. But after Peter sustains a serious injury in the line of duty and the doctors have no way to manage the pain, Steve decides to volunteer as a test subject for Bruce and Tony’s experimental super drug. However, the soldier ends up getting a little more than he bargained for. (Alternative title: Original Drug Tester: Steve Rogers)

Obligatory mention of the fic that caused this ask:

in technicolor by deniigiq; Marvel's various NYC vigilantes & Brett Mahoney, not rated (I'd give it a T), 120k; again. the observor pov gives the idea of wildlife being studied in their natural habitat, and it is so. fucking. funny.

Brett sighed and looked down at the folder in his hand. “Your name is Peter, right?” “Lawyer.” “Peter, we haven’t even started talking. Let’s just take a minute to ease up.” “Lawyer.” “Bud, we haven’t charged you with a crime. This is just talking.” “Law. Yer.” Goddamn. (Brett's encounters with Team Red/vigilantes and their weird fucking way of helping)

Still Preoccupied... With 1979 by darkbluedark; drarry (+jily & wolfstar), T, 15-20k; pre drarry accidental time travel hanging onto their rivalry for convenience? hilarious.

It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties. (This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)

sirius black and the "mystery girl" by tjmcharg; wolfstar, T, 29k; heteronormativity but for humor reasons

"You can't tell me who you're with?" Lily smiles at him hopefully. Sirius laughs. "Alright Evans, if you're so curious, I have a proposition for you" "We'll set up a little bet, you have until the end of the school year - so two months - to work out who I'm dating, or..." he pauses to think and with an evil smirk decides, "or you have to ask your crush out on a date."

pair of tossers with a cat by moonymoment; wolfstar, G, 10k; a cat nearly destroys them. in the middle of a war.

Something seemed to dawn on Remus then; something so obvious he couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before. He frowned and looked at Sirius quizzically. “What?” “Are you…” Remus began, gaping slightly, “jealous of the cat, Sirius?” Sirius looked down. “I’m not jealous of the cat.” “You’re jealous of the cat!” “I am not jealous of the bloody cat.” Remus finds a stray cat on the street and brings it in. Sirius is not impressed. Chaos ensues.

(fuck jkr. for those of you who don't know me.)

Prompt:

Mob AU

Two separate families start going to the same restaurant but on different days

Then the FBI starts casing the place on other days. They can't figure out what's drawing the two families there. And as far as they can tell- neither family knew the other was going there too.

Then one faithful day while the FBI was sitting there in there section, the two families arrive at the same time. They can't cause a scene so publicly. But all bets are off when the two heads of the family say at the same time.

" Seat us in Peter's section "

" Wow, Peter sure is popular today! You may have to wait, Mr. Rogers just took his last booth. But I can easily sit you somewhere else?"

[monster-cock69]

undercover FBI agent beta Bucky starts working his way up the ladder until he's picked by future don alpha Tony to work a job. while on the job he meets Tony's fiancé omega Peter, whose the son of the current don and basically the princess.

as he spends more time working under Tony, he spends time with Peter and starts to get involved in their games. there's a lot of "we're catholic, we don't do birth control James, do me a favor and fuck the boy for me. its not like your beta dick can knock him up."

they're set to raid the family on Tony and Peter's wedding day, and when Bucky realizes he's starting to love them he blurts it out

Frankly, I didn't ship anything on this show. I stopped watching around that moment when Martha miscarried and Clark put on Red Kryptonite to drive away.

Suddenly the one episode I've seen from later season was the one when Lana contacts a former FBI/CIA agent to teacher her torture resisting techniques so she could gain superpowers. That was a choice (that probably would make more sense if I've seen the previous couple episodes at least).

Anyway...

I remember some post including her o Creator's Pet list, next to Felicity Smoak and Tony Stark, so I was curious about your stance on it XD.

All of a sudden... a random ask!

Opinions on Smallville's Lana Lang?

She didn't deserve all the hate she got!!!

She did absolutely nothing wrong!!!

And they only made Clois canon because they were canon in the Superman comics. Clois didn't make any sense in the Smallville-Universe.

I'm a Clana Shipper until the day I die.

Die mad about it.

peter: *takes tony’s helmet and starts to pat it*

chapter 2 - partners in crime

series masterlist

————

it was monday morning, and tom spent his entire weekend reading over the case files of the red dragons as well as james kingston. he knew what they were like, on the back on his hand.

after catching a cab, he arrived to the apartment where you both will be living for the next month. inserting the key into the hole, he entered. he was half expecting it to be run down, filled with a rotten couch and a dirty fridge. but, instead it wasn’t?

yeah sure, it wasn’t like a penthouse, but it was better than what he expected it to be. the couch was leather, with a few marks on. the fridge was filled with exotic foods. it was very homely, until his eyes set on you.

“shit y/n,” tom jumped, “when did you get here?”

you were busy setting up the computers to see the red dragons apartment, so you didn’t bother looking at tom, “about an hour ago.”

tom checked his watch. you where here since 5am? this was so unlike you. you were normally the last person to arrive.

“there’s only one bed. so i’ve got that, you can have the couch.” you exclaimed, plugging the computer lead into the plug, smiling when you realise it has worked.

“could of waited for me to get here.” tom said to himself, before making his way to the couch.

“yes you’re right, where we sleep is the most important thing, tom.” you replied, sarcastically, making him roll his eyes at you.

an hour later, tom had finished packing his bags. he was about to get something to drink, when multiple voices distracted him. it wasn’t your voice. more like males. could our cover be blown already?

he rushed into the living room, to see you listening and watching the red dragons on the computer screen. he was shocked. this is the closet the fbi has ever got to them.

he looked at you, to see that you were eating while writing down what they were saying in a notebook. tom uneasily sat next to you.

“what have they said?” tom spoke, finally filling in the silence between you both.

“nothing important. just about the boss is coming in soon to say this big announcement. so i’m just waiting for that.” you replied, placing a crisp in your mouth. you offered tom one, but he declined.

tom leant back in the chair, watching the five cameras carefully. he hated this part of a case. the waiting and the watching. hopefully this case will get more exciting soon. he looked around the room, trying to find something to do, before his view landed on you.

“babe, stop! we have to watch the screen!” you giggled, while tom placed kisses all over your face.

“maybe i don’t what to watch the screen. i want to watch youuu.” tom sang the last part, causing you to smile at him. you gently stroked his hair, making all the stress and worries tom was having to be washed away.

“i love you, you know.” tom whispered, nearly going to sleep. your hand stopped moving. tom immediately lifted his head up to look at you.

“shit, to soon?”

“no, i’m just shocked. no one has ever loved me before.” you sighed, reminding yourself of your abusive ex boyfriend.

“i will never treat you how he did. i promise i will never break your heart. we will be together forever okay?”

“okay,” you laughed, “i love you too tom.”

tom smiled widely, before leaning in to kiss your lips.

“tom,” you spoke quietly, cutting him out of his thoughts, “he’s here.”

he shook his head, bringing his eyes away from you to the screen. there he was. keith rawling. the leader of the red dragons. one of the most dangerous men to walk to earth.

you and tom watched keith’s movements like an eagle. he came in, surrounded by 2 bodyguards, who were weaponed. in the empty room, there were 7 other people armed as well.

keith strolled towards a desk, sitting down at the chair, while everyone stood watching him. silence filled the air in the red dragons apartment, as well as your’s and tom’s place. the leader, took off his sunglasses, placing them on the desk in front of him.

“so,” he began, catching you and tom off guard, “how are we then?”

“i’m good, glad to be back in business. i missed you all-“

“i meant with the mission.” he interrupted, slamming his fist onto the table. gosh, he looses his anger quickly.

“sorry keith, i-i mean sorry sir.” the same guy spoke, making you groan in annoyance. keith smiled sarcastically, before lighting a cigarette; inhaling the chemicals deeply, before breathing out again.

“as i was saying, the mission.”

“well sir, he’s going to be in near the end of this month, for the cultural awards ceremony. this is going to be high in security, so we’ve gotta act fast and quiet. we have a month to prepare for this.” another man spoke, acting like he was keith’s assistant.

“good.”

“thanks sir, took me a while to prepare for this with some help from my wife.”

“your wife helped you?” he threw his cigarette on the floor, looking deep into the mans eyes.

“well yes sir-“

a deafening gun blast cut the man off. he fell backwards, dead. blood poured onto the concrete floor, while the man laughed harshly.

“anyone else want to share that they’ve told someone out of this room?!” he screamed, firing the gun towards the roof. no one answered.

“y/n, we can arrest him now, for murder!” tom exclaimed, already grabbing his gun running towards to door. but, you pushed him against the wall, with your arm across his neck.

“tom, you know we can’t do that. we have a fucking mission to do!”

“our mission darling, is to catch him! we can do that now!” tom pushed you off, but you wrapped your legs around his waist, flipping him over till he was on the floor, below you.

“you know i hate that name,” you breathed heavily, “we can wait to find out what he’s planning and arrest him then, for murder and what he is going to do! you can’t go in there flashing badges! carson won’t allow it.”

“fine. i’ll wait. but, if he kills another person i will not hesitate to go in there, and arrest him for good. you understand me?” tom shouted.

you nodded, climbing off tom. awkward silence filled the room, while you sat down in-front of the screen again.

“that’s what i thought. dispose the body. we will meet again tomorrow. same time. same place. to get a plan. oh, and kill the wife as well” keith spoke, before walking away.

you immediately went onto the fbi database, trying to find out who is attending the cultural awards ceremony. you gasped. it can’t be.

“who is it?” tom spoke, still wincing from pain.

“i-it’s the president.”

you and tom starred at each other with wide eyes. if the red dragons get the president, they will disappear and never return. the president is the greatest score anyone can get. this will be there last mission.

“it could not be though, y/n. hundreds of country leaders are going to be attending the ceremony. we can’t just immediately think it’s the president.” tom exclaimed, biting the inside of his cheek slightly.

“true, but what else can they gain from killing another country leader? not that much than the president!” you replied, pointing at the guest list on your computer. you huffed, turning around to reserve you and tom tickets, under mr and mrs kingston.

“we need to get more evidence. you can’t just jump to conclusions, y/n!” tom hissed.

“oh so i jump to conclusions? you were ready to kill them all 5 minutes ago!” you screeched, standing up abruptly and walking towards the fridge to get some food. however, you weren’t hungry. you just wanted to get away from tom.

“not much than you. whatever i do, you over think! it’s so annoying!”

you snapped your head, immediately glaring at tom. you both knew what he was on about. and it crushed your heart, that he brought it up again.

“who’s molly?”

“just a friend. nothing to worry about, darling!” tom joked, kissing the side of your cheek.

“why is she, and i quote, excited to see you again tonight with a heart emoji?” you whimpered, showing tom his phone with the text message. you are sure worry was in his eyes, but it was soon replaced with confusion. you knew it was fake confusion. you’re not that stupid.

“we just hang out. nothing important.” tom shrugged, taking his phone out of your grasp.

“nothing important? seems the opposite tom!”

“y/n, i swear to god, calm the fuck down! stop over thinking everything i do!” tom snapped, slamming his fist onto the table, making you jump. fear flashed in front of your eyes, making tom soften slightly and guilt to arise in him.

“oh darling, i’m sorry for making you scared. i never meant to shout.” tom hushed, instantly climbing over to you. but, you pushed him away, fear still in your eyes.

“n-no,” you shook your head, at tom’s pleading eyes, “we both need to calm down. i’m going upstairs, don’t follow me.”

“i can’t believe you’ve just brought that up, tom,” you whispered, not meeting his eyes, “i’m going out.”

before tom, could even get another word in, you left, slamming the door causing the computer screens to shake slightly. tom groaned, before sitting on the couch, placing his head in his hands.

why can’t he just not be mean? for once in his life, why can’t he not bring up a sensitive subject? especially to you.

this case isn’t going to mend your hearts. it’s going to tear it more apart.
