The screaming matches had been going on for about three
hours now. Since the Avengers had
returned from space and had been briefed on what had happened to Stark Tower,
they had been going round in round in circles arguing about the recent
events. At the moment a rather exhausted
and frustrated Queen Angella sat hunched forward on a foot rest with her chin
on her hand and blowing stray strands of her blonde hair out of the way.
“What are they screaming about now?” the blonde man
called Clint asked as he took a seat next to Angella.
“Something about toilet seats being left up?” Angella
sigh, “What do you avenge?”
“Pain and suffering supervillains unleash on innocent people?”
Clint shrugged.
“Why are arguing?
We agree on this?” the one called Captain Popsicle shouted.
“I don’t know!” the Red Haired woman in black screamed.
“Someone keeps using the women’s toilet and leaving the
seat up!” the blonde woman called ‘Danvers’ shouted.
“Right!” the one called Wasp screamed.
“Again?” the one called Banner said as he offered Angella
a bottle of water.
“Yeah,” Clint said rolling his eyes, “Hay Doc? What are you thinking happened?”
“Well Interdimensional travel isn’t my speciality…”
Banner said as he turned to look at Clint making a face at him, “Well in simple
terms I think whatever your majesty was doing was interfered with by all of
Thanos’…”
Banner started snapping his fingers repeatedly.
Angella turned and looked at the thin man. Everyone regarded him with caution and fear
but he seemed rather unassuming as he stood there. There had to be more to him Angella thought.
“So you are saying she tried to use the teleporter while
Thanos was tossing us around with the infinity Gauntlet and that made her
switch places with Stark Tower?” Clint asked.
“That is one way to put it,” Banner said, “But I am not
sure… it is only an educated guess right now.”
“The sounds pretty legit Doc,” The one called Stark said
as he walked over, “What are they fighting about now?”
“Toilet seat?” Angella said.
“Oh, remind me to write an update for the system
maintenance protocols to put the seat in the down position after the auto clean
function is done,” Tony said, “Can I talk to you Your Majesty?”
Angella rose and walked with Tony to a side room. She noted the sound of her heeled boots when
she stepped from the carpet to the hard wood floor. Looking around, Angella noted many of the
books had been thrown this way and that.
“Look…” Tony started, “I know I am as much to blame for
this as anyone else. I did the
calculations and yes. Thanos’ use of the
space stone is what caused you to end up here…
I should apologize for screaming at you… Pepper… and other important
people were in Stark Tower at the time…”
“Let me apologize as well Mister Stark,” Angella said in
a rather confidential tone, “My people are lost and our home world is being
destroyed as we speak. You lost your
Pepper… I am sure that my Husband did not make it off our world and my daughter
is still very far from me.”
“Yeah… well do you want the good news or the bad news
first?” Tony said without turning to look at the Queen.
“What do you have to say?” Angella asked.
“I can open gateways, possibly to the world you wanted to
go to, existentialism was it? Well the
problem is I can only make a portal big enough for a drone or maybe a three
Timmy Team to go throw,” Tony kept looking out the window.
“Three Timmy Team?” Angella asked.
“The little guy on the desk,” Tony said, “It’s a miniature
waldo controlled version of my Hazardous Environment suit.”
“But will it reunite me with my daughter?” Angella asked.
“That’s the multi-trillion-dollar question isn’t it?”
