Meeting Tony

'Tony…' Natasha realized who it was.

[Since your friend is finally here, I should make myself scarce…] Alex said in her head and Natasha noticed that everything on her table had been made to look like she was eating alone. Alex had disappeared before Tony had landed. He'd already sensed Tony's arrival beforehand.

This was another reason that they had a public date and did such high-profile actions. Natasha wanted to draw out Tony to talk. Her face was constantly masked but she knew that as long as Tony was using Friday, his AI, to keep track of her, she would be found.

Within seconds, the restaurant started emptying out and a minute later, the only people left in the place were Tony and Natasha.

"Nat…" Tony said through his mask as he looked at the only person that was left in the restaurant.

"How'd you find me?" She asked, taking off her mask. It was one of the standard issue Shield face masks that she always carried a few of.

"You weren't exactly hiding. More like you wanted me to find you." He walked to her as the armor that he was wearing started morphing into the triangular arc reactor on his chest.

"That's new…" Nat noticed.

"Nanotech. It's pretty fun." Tony commented as he took a seat in front of her.

"You didn't use it when trying to stop Cap…" She said.

"I was trying to stop him, not kill him. And I'd rather not talk about it. Anyway, it's not like anyone died in that superhero street brawl because there was no point in anyone dying. Everyone was actively holding back." He offhandedly commented but Nat noticed that he was sour about what happened in Siberia.

"What happened in Siberia?" She asked. She'd asked Steve but he'd refused to answer so she asked Tony. This was what she was here for. She wanted to know.

"Nothing much. I found out who killed my parents, ripped that bastard's limbs off, felt bad about Rogers, and left the murderer alive." He told her bits and pieces of the information.

"No wonder…" She realized the reason that Steve seemed so bitter when they talked. She understood that Tony must've been talking about Bucky and connected the dots from there.

"Yeah. So, why are you looking for me? And who'd your new partner? There are no records of him wherever I looked." He asked her about the person that she'd been seen with.

"Yeah, he's something of a ghost. I don't think you'll find anything about him." Nat told Tony.

"Ohh spooky…" He chuckled.

"How are you doing?" She asked with concern.

"How would I be doing, I'm doing perfectly fine…" Tony shrugged his shoulders as he answered her.

"That so?" Nat was skeptical.

"Yeah, I'm done with the Planetbuster and—" Tony was interrupted.

"Planetbuster?" She asked with some disbelief.

"Yeah. What? You thought that I'd make some shield? Pfft." He didn't play things defensively.

"Right… I'll leave it to your… better judgment." Nat's words conveyed her distrust.

"I hear cynicism. That's hurtful." Tony's tone didn't match his words.

"Right… I was just out to have some fun. Meeting you was a pleasant non-surprise but I should leave. I'd rather not have to deal with the locals." Nat said as she finished the last bite of her food and got up from her seat.

"Hold up." Tony grabbed her arm. Nat narrowed her eyes at him and Tony sheepishly let go.

"What is it?" She asked while sitting back down.

"That White Knight thing. What's the deal with that?" He wanted to know.

"You know too…" Natasha said, not surprised at Tony's revelation, "I wanted to help Steve without getting on the radar of the government. Though that ended up being useless after all…"

"Right… That's not what I'm talking about. And I don't snitch, it's hurtful to know how little you think of me." Tony said nonchalantly while looking around.

"My bad…" Nat was hesitant about it.

"You wanna tell me where you got enhanced?" He asked.

"It's… a long story. Let's just say I had some help." Nat didn't delve too deep into the origin of her newly received powers.

"You didn't become some test subject for Hydra, did you? It wasn't just your strength that was enhanced, you can literally shoot lightning and turn invisible. That stuff is well in the realm of superpowers if I have anything to say." He said.

"It's fine Tony. You don't have to worry. I'm still working on learning more about those powers so I'd rather stay out of the public eye for now. The Avengers will come together again when the world needs us." Nat told him.

"Sigh… Fine. I just wanted to know if you're doing all right. Ciao…" He got up from his seat and walked out, his suit morphing over him as he walked away.

[Finally…] Alex sighed as he saw Tony flying away.

'He already made the Nanosuit...' Alex noted to himself.

[You still wanna watch the movie?] Alex asked.

[Nah… Let's just go home… I have a feeling that things are about to get really hectic.] Nat didn't know but she was correct.

That night, they had quite a bit of spicy fun before they got back on track with their usual routine.

They spent the next week going back to their usual routine of training and lazing around.

…

Earth-Z.

With Laura.

"Haah!" *Smack* *Thump* Laura slammed Alex on the ground.

"Again!" She told him.

"Yeah… Yeah…" Alex was tempted to use his full physical strength to pummel her to the ground.

'Nevermind…' He decided not to and got up, taking a fighting stance.

A minute later, she slammed him on the ground again.

'This is infuriating…' Alex looked at Laura's amused smile and knew that she was enjoying this.

He still got up and continued their spar.

And another minute later Laura used his own weight against him and slammed him on the ground, sitting on top of his chest with that infuriating smile.

"You gotta try harder, Alex…" She taunted.

"Yeah?" Alex had had enough. He smiled and leveraged his full strength to turn and pin Laura to the floor beneath him, "Try not to taunt me so much." He told her

"Yeah? What're you going to do?" She asked with a taunting edge.

"I could do so much…" Alex's face was a mere centimeter apart from hers and he could easily kiss her right now but he held back. He wanted her to beg him for it, "But not yet. Let's continue training." He told her and stood up, offering her his hand.

Laura looked at him with a twitchy expression and grabbed his hand before getting up.

"I have a way that I might be able to rapidly strengthen you," Alex told Laura.

"What is it?" She threw a punch at him as she asked.

Alex dodged her attack and countered with an elbow strike, "I can devour and dissolve the abominations that we kill into pure Biological Energy. I call it EP." He said.

Laura pushed his elbow away and jumped back while throwing a kick at him, "And?" She asked.

Alex dodged her kick and got behind her before attacking the back of her neck, "I might be able to utilize that energy to strengthen your physique by dissolving EP into your body." He told her.

Laura did a frontflip on the spot and pushed away Alex's punch with her heel while her other heel was about to hit his chin.

Alex had to step back to dodge her attack, "Though I'd probably only be able to affect your skin. If I want to affect your muscles and your inner physique, I need to deepen our bond." He said.

Just as Laura's foot landed, she turned and her other foot which was still midair turned around to attack Alex's side, "Side effects?" She asked. She knew that this stuff didn't come without any cost.

Alex ducked under her attack and grabbed her leg, planning to disbalance her so that he could get a good chance to attack her, "You have to kill a huge number of Abominations, and overwhelming pleasure." He said and noticed Laura's cheeks turning a shade redder.

Instead of losing her center of balance, Laura shifted herself to her leg that was in Alex's grasp and climbed on his head, wrapping her legs around his face, "Killing and orgasms? Count me in." Laura wasn't shy and was anticipatory instead.

Alex was tempted to cut short the training and start devouring Laura's pussy that was right in front of his face right here, but he held back and instead slammed her on the ground before she could do anything, "Slut." He taunted.

Before he could slam her on the ground again, Laura let go of his face and unwrapped her legs while jumping to the ground behind his back, "I've been in a monitored glass box for quite a bit of my horny years. Forgive me if I seem desperate for carnal pleasures…" She said.

Just as Alex was about to turn around to face Laura who'd jumped down, he felt Laura grab his arm.

'Fuck…' He thought as he felt Laura grab his arm and slam him on the ground.

"Again." She looked at him with that infuriating smirk as she told him to get up.
