Chapter 11: Back on Track

Bobbi: Mockingbird.

Wade: ok then.

Fury: Agent Morse could you take Dr Stark here and take him to another table?

Bobbi; yes, sir. C'mon.

Wade: why?

Fury: adults talking.

Wade: fine.

Wade went with Bobbi elsewhere but he walked back to grab the box of donuts and take it with him.

Tony; better leave me some!

Wade: no promises!

Tony; so why the shadows?

Nat: once we knew you were ill, I was tasked to you by Director Fury.

Tony: and Wade?

Fury: to protect him.

Tony: well seems we both did a lousy job at that.

Fury: you more than us.

Tony: I know that.

Fury; you've been very busy. You made your girl your CEO, you're giving away all your stuff. You let your friend fly away with your suit. Now, if I didn't know any better...

Tony; you don't know better. I didn't give it to him. Wade gave it to him.

Fury: and to wonder why he gave it to him? You're Iron Man and your son gave your friend one of your suits? The little brother walked in there, kicked your ass because your son gave it to him? Is that possible?

Nat: well, according to Mr Stark's database security guidelines, there are redundancies to prevent unauthorized usage but his son has access to all the suits.

Tony: what do you want from me?

Fury: what do we want from you? Uh-uh. What do you want from me?

Nat: <stands up and walks off>

Fury; you have become a problem, a problem I have to deal with because your son can't do it by himself. Contrary to your belief, you are not the center of my universe. I have bigger problems than you in the southwest region to deal with. Hit him.

Nat injected something in Tony's neck.

Tony; <groans> oh, god, are you gonna steal my kidney and sell it? Could you please not to anything awful for five seconds?

The lines on Tony's neck started going away.

Tony; what did she just do to me?

Fury: what did Wade just do for you? Wade found an answer for your mental state. Lithium dioxide. It's gonna take the edge off.

Nat: we had Agent Morse take it off him and see if it was gonna do the effect we expected to do. Your son really is a genius.

Fury: we're trying to get you back to work.

Tony: if Wade can give me a couple of boxes of that. I'll be right as rain.

Nat; it's not a cure, it just abates the symptoms.

Fury; doesn't look like it's gonna be an easy fix.

Tony: trust me, I know. I'm good at this stuff. I've been looking for a suitable replacement for palladium. Wade has been solely focused on showing down the poison. I've tried every combination, every permutation of every known element.

Fury; I'm here to tell you, you haven't tried them all. We will continue this conversation in your home. What's left of it. Now, we would like to talk to your son, so stay here.
