More Info
I.R.I.S. (Intelligence and Reconnaissance Integration Synthezoid) was S.H.I.E.L.D.’s successful attempt in recreating parts of Vision’s technology to create a lifelike humanoid “android” that gathers and processes information while taking directives
Under the cover of Walker’s new wife, I.R.I.S.’s main objective is to assist him in his goal of killing Nevermore; she currently has all of Nevermore’s S.H.I.E.L.D. files stored in her database, as well as the ability to scan the news for Ember Blade sightings, use biometric data to recognize her face, and record POV footage at all times (She is not outright programmed to attack, but still has the capability to fight out of self defense and defense of Walker)
The caveat to this is that I.R.I.S. has no idea that she’s not human, nor is she aware that her coverstory is just that; she is genuinely in love with Walker, and believes that she’s operating out of devotion to him and protection of him, rather than under an organizational directive
Nonetheless, I.R.I.S. can’t seem to understand why she feels a slight twinge of hesitation each time she goes to act against Nevermore…

All was quiet in The Allfather’s Mansion… at least, until Aerith turned on the television in one of the lounge rooms. “NEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!”
The thunderous sound of a hoarde of growing footsteps practically shook the ground before Nevermore tumbled in through the double doors, followed by Loki, Thor, Venice, and Giffany. The group hit the ground as a writhing mass—with hands swatting at each other and growls for whoever was on top of the other to get off—before they all found their footing again.
“Dude!” Nevermore huffed as she strode over to the couch Aerith was seated on. “You screamed like you were dying.”
“I think part of me just did.” Aerith blankly pointed at the TV as Nevermore took a seat beside her. “Look!”
The rest of the group gathered around the sofa as Aerith turned up the volume. The TV was tuned in to an Earth station, a commercial advertising the latest Avengers action figures having just come to an end.
As flashy b-roll of a talk show set and various shuttering cameras filled the screen, a reporter’s voice sounded. “Just this morning, US Agent John Walker had yet another interview with Good Morning America, but this time, he made a shocking reveal that stole many of his supporters’ hearts.”
Nevermore groaned as Walker’s face filled the screen. “Girl, I dunno if I wanna watch this…”
“Shhh!” Aerith hushed her. “Wait for it.”
“In a segment that many, including the staff, assumed was going to put rumors about the highly ranked S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to rest,” The reporter voice continued. “Walker instead confirmed them all to be true.”
“That he has a microdick?” Giffany examined her nails.
Nevermore snorted at her comment.
“I got my ear to the ground, and I’ve been hearing talk of me moving on from my latest divorce,” Walker smiled in the playback of some talk show footage. “And it’s true. After Liv walked out on me, I thought I’d lost it all. But, when I least expected it, there she was. The real woman of my dreams. Now, my heart belongs to a rockin’ babe.”
The audience “aww”ed at his anecdote.
“Ew.” Venice cringed at Walker’s use of what she assumed was outdated slang.
“Someone should check up on his ex.” Giffany commented. “That namedrop was just cruel.”
“We eloped because we wanted to keep things private,” Walker continued. “Keep that work-life balance and take it at our own pace, you know? But I’ve got a lot of eyes on me, so what can you do?”
The audience chuckled at this.
Nevermore rolled her eyes.
“In fact, I actually want her up here with me. Right by my side.” Walker opened his arms to someone offscreen. “C’mere, honey!”
The audience erupted in applause as a petite woman with pin-straight black hair sauntered over, her expression lighting up with joy.
A unanimous “Huhhh???” fell over the group as their jaws went slack.
“By Odin’s beard…” Thor was astonished.
Loki silently raised his eyebrows.
“She’s beautiful!” Giffany gasped.
“How the hell did he bag that baddie?” Venice remarked in awe.
“Baddie?” Nevermore scoffed. “Dude, she looks like a child compared to him!”
“You’re one to talk about weird relationship gaps.” Aerith teased, earning a brief sideye from Loki.
Nevermore softly huffed. “This ain’t about us.”
The offscreen audience settled down, but once Walker planted a kiss on Iris’s cheek, earning a small flattered giggle from her, they once again broke out into a unanimous “aww”.
“My Iris found me at my lowest,” Walker affectionately rubbed her shoulder. “And lifted me up with those cute little arms of hers.”
“John!” Iris giggled and covered her face.
The show’s host shuffled her notecards with a small smile. “Aww, you two…” She looked back up at the couple. “I have to ask… Iris, right? Surely you know at least little bit of what your new husband’s job entails.”
“I do.” Iris looked to Walker, absolutely lovestruck. “He’s doing great things for our country. For the world. He’s a hero.”
“He’s a prick.” Nevermore muttered.
Walker chuckled, booping Iris on the nose. “You flatter me.”
“Your chemistry is off the charts,” The host smirked. “I’d dare to say you might be S.H.I.E.L.D.’s ‘it’ couple.”
“Oh, come on!” Nevermore groaned, earning loud shushing from the rest of the group, who was clearly invested in the news segment.
“Please,” Walker scratched the back of his neck, feigning bashfulness. “We’re just your average couple, really. I mean, what do I have that the average guy doesn’t?” He turned to gently bump noses with Iris, who gently smiled. “You know, besides numerous war medals and my own S.H.I.E.L.D. squadron.”
“I gotta admit,” Venice remarked. “Their PDA is disgusting.”
“I feel the need to remind you that the two of you are no strangers to public displays of affection.” Thor raised an eyebrow at her and Giffany.
“Oh, great, another Aerith.” Nevermore teased Thor, earning a swat on the shoulder from her sister.
The reporters voice came back as more b-roll flashed on the screen. “The interview later returned to the organization’s current project, and how it may play into the newlyweds’ relationship.”
“Like I said,” Walker began in a new clip. “We try to keep work and life separate. Besides, it’s nice to have a beautiful little lady to come home to after hunting down the same feisty bitch every day.”
“If John’s not afraid of Ember Blade, then neither am I.” Iris chimed in. “He’s so strong and brave…” A smirk tugged at her lip as her hands snaked up Walker’s chest. “Maybe Ember Blade’s just jealous she can’t have all this, and that’s why she’s so cranky~”
As the audience laughed, Nevermore doubled over with a dramatic gag. “That’s not even funny, bro! What the fuck?!”
Despite her sister’s insistence that it wasn’t funny, Aerith found herself laughing anyways.
The host asked one last question to the couple. “What would you say to Ember Blade if she was watching this?”
“Oh, I hope she’s watching.” Walker turned to the camera with a shit-eating grin. “Come to the after party! We could use a piñata.”
With that, he winked before tilting Iris’s chin up to pull her into a kiss.
Aerith shut the TV off as the segment ended, and the room plunged into an uncomfortable silence.
Finally, Nevermore shot up from the sofa. “I hope Iris is ready to become a widow!” She stormed across the room. “I’m gonna kill that guy! KILL HIM!!!”
The group jumped as the doors slammed shut, and Loki let out a soft nervous chuckle. “I’m going to check on her…”
With that, he shuffled through the doors in pursuit of his lover.
I was originally throw my hands in the air and say I dunno for this one, but then I had a horrifying realization.
Iris is still fairly new to the cast, and she spends the most time with Walker since he is her “husband”, so…
TW: Flashing lights and loud sounds for the video
Buuuuuuuuut, she can’t stay pretend married to him foreveeeeeeer *wink wink*, so I think she’s bound to get closer to the main cast at some point *wink wink*.
I think she’d get along the best with either Aerith or Giffany. No particular reason, though, I just think they’d vibe. 😅
I saw a photo of Sophie Thatcher on here and immediately got the inspiration for a Walker and Iris photo edit, but the whole time I was making it, I was just like “I hate you two together, WHY AM I MAKING THISSSS???”
