Stephen was standing in a corner nursing a drink when he was approached by a young man who had a look of determination on his face. Great. Either its someone who idolize him, wants him to be a mentor or a gold digger. They were at the mingling period for the conference he was attending about the latest and greatest break through in the medical field.
" Dr. Strange... it's an honor to meet you sir"
" I'm sure. Look, I'm trying to have a nice quiet evening. Get what you came over here to say. I'm single but I'm not looking for a partner currently no matter how cute you are. I'm not looking to mentor anyone. If you have what it takes then I'll see you back here next year kudos to you. If your just gonna fan boy and tell me how great I am, you have two minutes. If your going to tell me how I inspired you with my talent you can-"
" You did inspire me. But not for the reasons your thinking of. 10 years ago my uncle died on your operating table. "
Stephen steps back and stares into the brown eyes of the young man infront of him. He has a hardly had any deaths in his records. He swallowed a sip of his drink, clearing his throat.
" I am sorry for your loss... I assure you I would have done everything in my power to save him."
The guy sighs and nods his head glancing down and then back up at him.
" I hated you. For years. You were the best of the best, that's that the nurses said. And yet my Uncle still died under your knife. ... I swore I would never let anything like that happen again to anyone else. That you must have made a mistake.... that you weren't good enough to save my uncle."
Shifting his feet a little he glances over his should looking around the room. " But no one could have saved him from that wound.... I went to school, graduated early with honors and I know... I know you did everything you could, it just that the tools we had available at the time weren't good enough. -
It's why I'm here, I've created a several new tools that help out the field and I wanted to thank you."
He smiles and reaches his hand out for a hand shake
" My hatred for you pushed me to help others more. The designs and tools I've help patent... they are going to save lives. And I have you to thank for that Dr. Strange. It's an honor to be in the field with you"
Stephen stared at the young man longer before reaching out and shaking his hand.
" What's your name?"
The young man blushes as he shakes Stephen's hand
" Oh! Um Peter, unm Dr. Peter Parker Sir... forgot to introduce myself"
" Well Dr. Parker, let's get a table and you can tell me all about these new patents"
Okay, but maybe Spiderman helps out the Avengers if they need it or if he is in the neighborhood. They don't know who he is. They want to know, of course. But respect his right to be anonymous. Doesn't mean they won't ask questions to try to figure it out though.
Maybe he lets more info slip on occasions. The latest was when he asked Bucky what he was doing for Rosh Hashanah. Which causes him to pause. Most people, if they know their history, know that Bucky was Jewish. But no one really talks about it though. And with the team not being overtly religious other then Steve who still attends mass. It comes as a surprise.
Says he doesn't have anything planned. Other then maybe relaxing.
And the team who is obviously listening in are shocked when Spiderman offers for Bucky to come celebrate.
" It's in a neutral area. Friend of a friend's apartment. Like... it's more Xmen people who I know but still! Ben Grim will be there. And well... probably Deadpool and DareDevil, even though they aren't Jewish. Double D makes me attend mass at least once or twice a year, so he gets forced to join us. We still get everyone together to celebrate and ... if you wanted, you could join..."
Bucky saying he will think about it.
And maybe once September rolls around, Bucky is standing in front of a door with a couple bottles of wine. He was not expecting this doe eyed college kid to open the door. A suprized look on his face. Looking Bucky over seeing him bringing wine.
There is lots of laughter in the background, Deadpool screaming that he wasn't going to lose in Mario Kart to a big Rock, aka Ben Grim. Bucky can see a man sitting at the table with red glasses and a cane, talking with Wanda; another shocker as she isn't around as much anymore. And there are a few other people cheering on the game in the living. He could hear lots of sounds coming from the kitchen. He focuses back on the one who opened the door,
" Hi, Mr. Barnes.... I uh didn't think you would actually show up....thanks you joining us! Not that we wouldn't want you to show! Oh god I'm rambling! Come in! I'm Peter Parker, by the way.... let me introduce you to everyone"
Prompt:
Tony never visits his parents graves. To many memories.
But one day he was out with Happy, on his Mother's birthday they neared the cemetery where they were buried. And he felt a strong urge to go there.
Even though he hasn't been here since the funeral he knows exactly where to go. Which is a surprise considering how plastered he was for it.
But what he isn't expecting is for someone to be at the tomb stones, cleaning it. Talking a mile a minute as if there was a live person there. Scrubbing and getting some of the grime off the headstone.
" I'll make sure to bring some flowers or plants next time I'm here. I just couldn't pass up the chance to NOT clean your headstone. You would think the grounds keeper would take better care. But since I was already here cleaning up, Uncle Ben's might as well fix you up too. Your son is doing great work, you know that? Course you do. But still I read his latest paper and it's really neat. I wonder if I could tweak some of the"
And that is how Tony met one Peter Parker.
While most of the time the team has meetings in the tower or compound, on occasion they have to meet up somewhere else. And when magic may be involved? They definitely are going to the sanctum to quiz Dr. Strange. While he isn't part of the Avengers, he was on call to assist when needed.
The meeting was wrapping up when a voice yelled out
" Honey I'm home!"
Everyone froze, Strange was seeing someone? They haven't heard or seen that he was. And he has been around a lot more recently.
" In the office," voiced Stephen loudly.
" Okay! By the way, where is the first aid kit? It's not under the sink"
Stephen sighed and then pinched the bridge of his nose. "The new one is in the bathroom closet.... why do you need to know?"
" Oh, you know, just a light stabbing. Nothing that I can't do myself." The voice steadily got closer, and the door to the office swung open. " unless you want to. I know you like it when......uhhh... hi?"
There in the doorway stood who appeared to be Spiderman.
A guy in his early twenties, his brown hair was damp from sweat but still a little curly. A blush was forming down his cheeks to his neck and chest. His mask was in hand as he waved awkwardly, his suit was unzip and hanging low on his hips.
Tony lowered his glasses giving Spiderman a once over and whistled. " You have been holding out on us Gandalf"
I just want a fic of where Bucky is making his amends. Last person(s) on his list. The murder of Richard and Mary Parker. He took down the plane they were on, they turned down Hydra so they had to be taken out.
He knows that Richard had a brother and son(?) Records went missing.
He finds the grave of May Parker and runs into Happy while there.
Maybe Happy mentions that someone else visits her that he thinks is family, a nephew but he isn't sure.
So Bucky stalks the graveyard for this mysterious person.
It's clear from the images this has to be the child of Richard and Mary. But there is no record of him anywhere. Then again they worked with shield so maybe they were able to hide him.
Bucky trying to let Peter know and apologize. But this guy acts like he knows him or atleast knows more about Bucky's past then the average Joe.
" I know."
" That wasn't you, that was hydra"
" things they made you do... well.. it sucks and it was horrible but the fact you gotta be haunted by something that you had no control over? That's just as bad if not worse."
Bucky is intrigued by the guy.
And starts to stalk him a little.
He feels like he should know him.
Happy never forgets a face. Never. It's what makes him extra valuable to someone like Tony Stark. Tony Stark, who runs Stark Industries. Tony Stark, who is head of the Carbonell Italian mob; though, while there is some speculation, it's never been proven.
Happy had a system. He categorized people into color groups.
Green for these people are no bodies and didn’t touch the crime world and were safe to interact with.
Yellow for people who are some bodies but won't cauae trouble but have connections.
Red are people who have connections and could cause trouble.
Then their were Black. Those are the unknowns, and they could be as bad as the reds. People a little too clean. Or people who maybe could be someone undercover. Not enough information on them.
Before every convention, Happy makes a point to do background checks on everyone. He memorized all the photos of the people attending. Sure, maybe Friday helps break into the databases to get the photos, but he is just trying to protect Tony.
So when Happy saw Tony talking to someone, he was already going through the catalog in his mind to place the person. Catching Tony's eye, he touched his black tie to silently signal the group the person falls in. Doesn’t mean it's gonna stop Tony, but it just means he is gonna be a bit more cautious. Hopefully.
Peter Parker. 20 years old. Just finished with his masters at Columbia University in Biochemical Engineering. Mother was a scientist as well. Mary Fitzpatrick. Irish. No father listed on the birth certificate. She married another scientist 4 years later, Richard Parker. Both deceased. Plane crash. Italian Aunt and Uncle raised him. Uncle died later. Shot at a Bodega. Not their area, so not tied to them. Trained as a gymnast. Big brown eyes, wavy brown curls. Smart. Cute. Flexible. Just Tony's type.
But something nags at Happy as he watches Tony and Peter talk.
He glances around the room when he spots them.
The Winter Soldier leaned against a wall, looking around the room on the left side, looking a little too casual. At the refreshment table section was The Captain. He worked for the government but has ties to the Irish mob, though, like Tony. Couldn't be proven. He was staring at Peter and Tony with a frown, not subtle at all.
Then it hits. See, there were rumors that The Captain had a kid. Had them young before he was involved with potential mob connections. And he recalls another rumor going around that there was a small riff between The Captain and The Winter Soldier, a love interest that was not approved.
He has to get Tony away from this Peter Parker.
Peter Parker, who potentially could be the kid of The Captain Steve Grant Rogers.
Peter Parker, who potentially could be the love interest of The Winter Soldier James Buchanan Barnes
