Author’s Note: DO YOU KNOW HOW NERVOUS I AM FOR THIS?!? Even setting this up, I have anxiety building up. I'm ready for my debut into the Marvel fics. I do hope that if you guys enjoy this that you will leave some feedback. Anything helps! I absolutely love Tony and I hope this does him justice.
Feedback gives me life and motivation for future things. ♥
Y/N L/N knew that when she was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. that there would be moments where things would become chaotic. She knew that there would be moments where she would have to drop whatever it was she was working on to work on something that was being deemed top priority. Her multiple degrees from MIT had proved her to be an asset. Especially when they came across foreign objects that needed to be identified.
Over the last several years while Earth found out just how big the universe was, Y/N was behind the scenes hoping to help by making weapons to help protect the earth with what she was creating. Her projects were always kept under lock and key with the help of Director Nick Fury. He made sure her work was never interrupted and made sure she had everything she needed to create what he asked.
The sound of the lab door sliding open had caught her attention. Her eyes lifted only for a second to see Fury walking in before she looked back down at the computer screen in front of her. The program on the screen helping her to put the missing pieces she needed together.
“I’m expecting a box of my favorite cookies if you’re coming in here while I’m working.” She said, not taking her eyes off the coding. Every few moments she’d adjust the coding to adjust a few things or add coding where needed.
“Already delivered to your house.” Fury said as he walked further into the lab. “Even I know your bite is worse than your bark.”
That caused her to chuckle as her eyes flickering back and forth between him and the screen. Between Y/N and Fury, they had a softer relationship than most agents did with him. Maybe it was that her parents were friends with his family. But Y/N knew that when things meant business, the playful demeanor they had towards each other stopped.
“I’ve got an assignment for you.” He said as he came to a stop just in front of her desk.
“You mean besides this one?” She asked with a raised brow as her fingers typed along a keyboard. The new information she input caused the program to create a visual prototype of the weapon Fury had asked her for.
“For now this one is being put on hold.” Fury’s hands rested on the desk as he watched as Y/N looked up and at him. There was a slight frown on her face that caused Fury to chuckle. “Priorities change, Y/N/N. Including this one. What I need you to work on has been bumped up in priority.”
“This has to do with the mission the Avengers are on, isn’t it?” Y/N knew if she was right, that meant the Avengers had found an unknown source that needed to be identified. Usually, it was Y/N that got called in for those kinds of tasks.
“A Hydra base had a weapon on display, much like the scepter Loki had. But instead of an infinity stone at its center, it is something else. I need you and Stark to identify it.”
Y/N stilled at the name before she rolled her eyes. “We both know Stark and I don’t get along.”
“You two are the only ones that I want working on this.” He said as he stood up straight. “Between his brain and yours, it would save us a lot of time and expedite us destroying it.”
“You mean to study it before figuring out a way to utilize it?” Y/N knew better. She knew how Fury worked. His secret projects Y/N had been a part of from time to time. It was her design that was used for the prototype gun that had been created from pieces of the Destroyer when it came to Earth.
A knowing look formed on Fury’s face and it caused a smirk to pull at Y/N’s lips. He shook his head slightly. “It depends on if it can or cannot be utilized. I want to know why Hydra had it in the first place.”
“And that requires Stark’s help?” She asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
“I get it.” He said as he tilted his head slightly. “You two have history. But I need the best minds I’ve got working on this.”
“What about Banner?” She asked, trying to get out of it one last time. “I don’t butt heads with Banner.” She was going to take whatever chances to avoid Tony Stark.
Fury eyed her before he turned to walk away from her. Y/N huffed out air as he had begun to do so. That was his answer to her question. He wasn’t going to let her out of this. Y/N should have known. For as many times as she tried to get out of work, Fury always got what he wanted.
“I want another batch!” She called out as she watched him leave. “Preferably the ones your mom makes.”
“Wheels up in an hour L/N.” Fury said as the sliding doors open. “I expect you to be on it.”

“Alright, let's get this down to the lab.” Tony Stark said as he watched as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents began to pull the weapon off of the quinjet as he walked right behind them.
His hands slid against each other as he walked down the ramp, his eyes lingering on the case. The weapon was securely locked within a case to ensure that nothing would happen to it on its journey. He was eager to get started on figuring out what element was powering it. He had seen first hand the energy that came off of it in action.
“Perfect,” Natasha said as she exited out of the quinjet. “Fury just informed me that your new lab partner is already there and waiting for it's arrival."
Tony stopped in his tracks and turned towards Natasha. “Excuse me? There’s a what in my lab?”
“Fury sent someone over.” Natasha said as she came and stood in front of Tony. “Didn't give me a name though. He believes between the two of you, you’ll be able to identify the element faster and get it ready for transport."
Tony’s eyebrow raised. There was only one time he had opened his lab open to someone. And that had been to Bruce Banner. Why Fury decided it was a good time to send someone new in, Tony would never understand.
“J.A.R.V.I.S. who is currently in the lab?” He asked as he looked nowhere in particular. He wanted to know what he was about to walk into.
Miss Y/N L/N is, sir. The A.I said from overhead. She arrived minutes before you did.
“Shit,” Tony muttered under his breath as he looked back over at Natasha. The woman currently had a smirk pulling at her lips. “This is a joke right?”
Natasha laughed as she shrugged. "I'm only passing along the message."
Natasha knew enough about the relationship between Tony and Y/N. They butted heads when it came to almost anything and everything. She enjoyed watching the way Y/N had gotten under his skin any time they were in a room together. If there was one person that could put Tony in his place, it was Y/N.
Tony mumbled under his breath as he began making his way towards the elevator. He could probably avoid her for a few more hours. But knowing Y/N, she'd have things rearranged by the time he made it down there. It was better to face her now than later. It would definitely be worse later.
"Let Y/N know I'll call for backup when she needs it!" Natasha called out just as the elevator doors were closing.

A frustrated sigh passed Y/N’s lips as she looked around the lab. With as many times as Y/N had been there, it had never ceased to amaze her that Tony would have things completely out of place. That included the perfectly neat station that she had left behind since she was becoming a frequent guest.
Pieces of junk had been carelessly tossed on the workstation, causing the items she had left on there to be scattered about. Stains from god knows what had been smeared on a majority of the files she left behind. No doubt things that Tony only looked at before tossing them aside.
They may have gotten on each other’s nerves, But Y/N had tried helping with some of the tech he was working on. While mostly suggestions, she knew that some of them would have upgraded things in a way that would help Tony. But with his stubbornness and ego, she wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t take any of it into account.
“J.A.R.V.I.S?” She called out as she walked around the workstation. “Does Tony actually need any of this or am I free to dispose of it?”
“Don’t answer that.” Tony said as he walked into the lab. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents close behind him, bringing in the encased weapon. The moment it was placed on a workstation, they left just as quickly as they came. “It is after all my lab and I can place things where I want, and when I want.” He had come to stand a few feet away from Y/N.
Y/N’s eyebrow raised as she crossed her arms over her chest. Her eyes stayed on his before a small smirk slowly pulled at her lips. “J.A.R.V.I.S.?”
Mr. Stark is not intending to use the items he disposed of on your desk. I believe the term he used was ‘a junk table’.
Y/N watched as Tony’s mouth dropped at the A.I.’s words. He had never once had it work against him and yet, Y/N had managed to do so. “You turned him against me.”
“Not against,” She defended. “I just added a few things to ensure that I’d get the right information instead of you sabotaging me.”
“For the millionth time, that was not sabotage. I ensured everything was fair and square.” Tony rolled his eyes. “When did you even have time to hack into things?”
Y/N bit down on her tongue to keep her from speaking her mind. She should have known better. She should have known that he would simply deny it, just as he had plenty of times before. Instead, she let out a deep breath. “The last time I was here.” She said as she uncrossed her arms and began moving towards the case. “If I’m not mistaken, you were otherwise preoccupied with an overly bubbly blonde. Plus it wasn’t like I corrupted the system in any way. I just need someone on my side from time to time.”
Just as she reached the case and went to open it, Tony’s hand reached hers and stopped her from opening it. She turned to face him, her hand still on the latch. There was a slight glare on Tony’s face. Whether it was from her words or the fact she was attempting to open the case, she’d never know.
“You have no idea what this thing is and you want to just open it, like it’s nothing.” He said never taking his eyes off her.
“That’s what the point of this is.” She shook her head. “All the necessary protocols already came into play the moment the agents left.”
“I highly doubt that.” He said, taking a step back.
“Want to ask? Or should I?” Her fingers tapped on the latch as she watched him. It was a challenge.
The simple words enough to show how much they really trusted the other. While Tony had no idea about the rewrite that Y/N had included in his system, they hadn’t always agreed on things. If anything, they always disagreed with each other ninety-nine percent of the time. That one percent was a mix of giving in to what the other wanted or, Y/N getting her way.
It was as Tony let out a sigh that another smirk began to grow on Y/N’s lips. “J.A.R.V.I.S. are-”
Yeah, it was going to be a long week for the both of them.

Here is a sneak peek to an upcoming fic! I'm excited for this one and I hope you guys will enjoy this preview of my writing for the MCU. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated 💚
'Sir, Y/N just landed." An agent said, catching Fury's attention before he could continuethe conversation. Fury nodded his head in response but didn't say a word in response.
"Wait, who is Y/N?" Steve asked, looking towards Fury.
Fury let out a breath of air before he looked at the group in front of him. "Before Y/N makes her appearance, there is something you should know. Some time ago the very object that Loki stole gave Y/N her powers before she resigned. We've been keeping tabs on her, just as we have been with all of you. But unlike the rest of you, Y/N has been in the dark about the events that have unfolded the last several days."
"Why bring her here if she's been in the dark about all of this?" Bruce asked with a raised brow. "Unless it's about those unknown powers of hers."
Fury took a step towards them, his hands behind his back. "She's been kept in the dark about what we are doing because we needed to be sure that she had no ties to the actions that Loki has taken."
"You believe this Y/N has been working with my brother?" Thor asked.
"We needed to be sure that she wasn't. And now that we are sure that she wasn't, Y/N is about to get a rude awakening." Fury looked towards one of the feeds on the nearby screen. He could see Y/N and a few other agents were getting out of the quinjet.
"What? That we're about to go up against a supposed God in an attempt to stop him before destroying Earth?" Tony said with a raised brow. "It's not a rude awakening, that's more of a reality check here."
"She's about to find out that God is the man she has been in an active relationship with." Fury said a few moments before Y/N entered the area.
"I swear Fury, this better be worth the scene your men caused to get me here." Y/N said as she came to a stop in front of Fury. She hardly even noticed the others that were either sitting or standing around the table.
"Anything interesting happened this past year?" Fury asked without missing a beat.
Y/N scoffed. "If you're asking, you obviously already know. I highly doubt that why you brought me here is to talk about my-"
She stopped mid sentence when her attention was pulled towards a screen right behind Fury. The security footage had changed from the flight deck to where Loki was being held. Her feet carried her over towards it while she watched Loki paced.
"Where is this feed from?" She asked, never looking away from the screen.
"Just below your feet." Fury said as he came to stand beside her. "Which is why you were brought in." The words had caused Y/N to look over at him, realization slowly filling her.
"Tell me everything." She said softly, almost void of all emotion. "And afterwards, I want to speak with him privately."
While her voice had been emotionless, her emotions on the inside had been creating a storm within her. A storm that she knew if she didn't keep in check would end with her losing control. Something that the others around her had begun to notice by the way her fingers gave off a faint green glow.
Coming May 2021
Tagging you lovely people since this is the first bit of writing for MCU. 🙈
Hellus can I have a Bucky Barnes angst where you’re dating and like you get hurt really bad on a mission because you tried protecting him and he just cannot stop crying while you’re being treated. Steve like literally has to hold him through it. Ending in fluff. Sorry for so many details ahahaha!🥰
Please dont apologize! The details actually help! I've definitely got this down on my list and will be working on this soon.
hi dom!! i come bearing an mcu request 😌 i think it's long been established that loki doesnt like being touched. could you write something where loki warms up to the reader and she's the only one he's affectionate with? this trope has been done to death but i would really love to see your take on it 😭😂💗💗
Oh it's happening. I've got ideas going and its gonna happen.
I'll always take the over done tropes and do something with it. 🤣
A thought just came to my head: Bucky Barnes goes to a female psychologist, he shares his life and they slowly fall for each other and it ends a little fluffy or smutty?
That sounds like the beginning of a series. 🤣 I'll definitely add it to the list and we'll see how things go.
Today I post a new fic for a completely different fandom than I normally write for.
I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.
I havent felt this kind of anxiety since I posted my first fic here on tumblr.
During the time of the fic drop, I'll be at work in a building where phones are forbidden. And I dont know if that's a good thing or a bad thing that I wont be refreshing my notifications. 😅🤣
Anyways... I hope you guys are just as excited as I am about today.
