Battle Scars - 18 The End

Pairing: Tony Stark x Soulmate!Reader

Warnings: it’s so fluffy! And punching. There’s punching. And kicking. some language, maybe. Oh, you know what to expect by now.

A/N: So we have arrived at the bittersweet end my friends. What started as a little idea for a challenge turned into a story that so many of you fell in love with. Thank you for taking the journey with me and I hope the end does the rest of it justice. (and FYI Pepper went on a date with Hammer and bitched about Y/N the whole time. That’s when he developed his evil plan. Pepper was not directly involved. Just thought I’d put that out there since it’s not addressed in the fic)

***

You had forgotten what an incredible pain in the ass it was to get Tony on the line if you didn’t have his direct number. You tried twice before you gave up, cursing yourself for not memorizing his number. Or anyone else’s for that matter. Why would you need to? You always had your phone, right? You groaned in annoyance.

“Can I get up now?” Hammer said below you.

You drove your heel into his side again. “No. Be quiet. I’m thinking.” There was a beat of silence as the solution came to you. “And I’m an idiot.”

You called the operator and asked to be connected with Stark Tower again. This time when the receptionist answered, you asked for Happy. “Please advise him that it is a code 3 priority call.” Code 3 meant there was a Tony problem and usually you were on the receiving end of those calls. The three being a reference to his mental age when he was at his most annoying.

“Who is this?” Happy answered the phone a short time later.

You rolled your eyes. “Is that how you answer the phone? We’re going to have to rethink your nickname.”

“Y/N?”

“Got it in one.”

“Holy shit. Where the hell are you? Everyone here is going nuts trying to find you.” You heard noise in the background as he moved around.

“You won’t believe me when I tell you. Are you anywhere near Tony?”

“Taking you to him right now. Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“I’m okay, Hap. Just pissed off but I found a way to relieve some of the anger.” You kicked Hammer in the other side this time and wondered if you’d managed to actually break any of the ribs yet. At least it was keeping you from being bored.

“Oh, come on,” he groaned and you grinned at his discomfort.

***

Tony and the rest of the team were bent over a map laid out on a table. Fury was on the main screen as they argued over strategy. Nat’s intel on Igor and who he usually worked for had made finding you a more urgent priority. You might be fine for the moment, but that wouldn’t last.

“What is that going to accomplish?” Steve asked in response to Fury’s latest idea.

“Wasting time. That’s what it will accomplish,” Bucky muttered and Tony doubted Fury even heard him.

“Boss,” Happy said trying to get his attention.

Tony glanced at him to see the phone in his hand and quickly dismissed him. He didn’t have time for this right now. He circled a section of the map. “I still say we should focus our energies here. Ran scans for heat signatures. The bad guys always use warehouses.”

“Boss,” Happy said again, a little louder.

Tony made a shooing motion at him.

“And I say it’s a waste of resources to send everyone there. What if she’s not there, Stark? What if the bad guy is smarter than you this time?” Fury argued.

“Boss!” Happy yelled.

Tony spun with a scowl. “What? We’re a little busy trying to find Y/N here, Hap.”

“Maybe I can help with that.” Your voice coming through the speaker of Happy’s phone had everyone freezing for a beat.

“Y/N?” Tony asked, not quite ready to believe it was you just yet.

“Last time I checked. Have Jarvis trace this call and get me the hell out of here, would you?”

***

It was a matter of minutes before shouting drifted to you from the depths of the building. You turned your head to hear better, but no further sound came to you. Just as you were prepared to dismiss it as nothing, a large thud came from the hallway. You started to get up then turned back to Hammer. “Stay.”

He nodded between wheezing breaths. Dipshit.

A light knock came at the door even as you approached it. “Housekeeping.”

You snorted a laugh at the horrible, high-pitched voice then swung open the door. Barton stood on the other side. When he saw it was you, he lowered his weapon and grinned at you. “I’ve got eyes on Y/N.” He stepped past you into the room as he spoke to the rest of the team. “And Hammer.”

You peered into the hall to find the thug on the floor, slumped against the wall.

“Christ, Y/N. What did you do to him?”

Clint’s question had you turning to look at him. He had moved your chair and was looking Hammer over for injuries. You stood with your arms crossed over your chest appreciating your handywork.

Clint’s lips twitched in amusement as he helped Hammer to his feet.

The idiot pointed to you with a shaking hand. “She’s crazy. I was just talking to her and she kicked me.”

“She kicked you?” Clint asked with his brows lifted.

Thinking he had a sympathetic ear, Hammer continued. “In the head. And she punched me in the throat and look what she did here.” He shifted his clothing around so Clint could see the forming bruises on his ribs.

“That looks painful. Did she kick you?”

“Yes. I told you she’s nuts.”

Clint leaned forward to examine the other man. “Did she kick you here?” As he said the last word, he slammed his fist into the other man’s ribs. If they weren’t broken before, they certainly were now. He caught Hammer to keep him from falling. “What about here?” Another punch followed the words.

Footsteps sounded behind you and you stepped to the side as Nat, Tony and Steve joined you. You went immediately to your soulmate’s side but scrunched your nose at the realization you’d be hugging metal. At least the helmet was retracted. “Sorry I worried you,” you said as you stretched to kiss his lips.

He arched a brow. “Yes, because this was all your fault.”

You shrugged. “Thanks for the rescue, anyway.”

Nat scoffed. “This is the least dramatic rescue in history. We literally could have just jumped out and yelled boo to the same effect.”

“If it makes you feel any better, I used your training.” You gestured to the ropes on the floor.

She smiled. “Nicely done, Y/L/N.”

“Not to interrupt the female bonding, but who hit you? Was it Hammer? Please, say it was Hammer.” Tony may have been smiling for you, but his jaw was set. He was pissed and wanted someone to take the anger out on. You supposed that was fair, you’d gotten to take yours out on Hammer after all.

“Kevin.”

Tony’s brows shot up. “Kevin? Isn’t that the name of one of those little yellow things?”

“They’re minions, Tony,” Clint protested. They’d had this conversation multiple times.

Tony rolled his eyes and turned toward you so Clint wouldn’t see his smirk.

You shook your head and gestured into the hall. “That is also Kevin.”

Nat snorted a laugh then covered her mouth with her hand. “No wonder he goes by Igor.”

“Cap, can you take my girl home? I have a delivery to drop off at SHIELD.” You weren’t sure you liked the way he emphasized the words ‘drop off’.

“It would be my honor, Tony.” Steve offered you his arm and you gave your boyfriend one more kiss before taking it.

“Don’t be too long, Stark. We’ve got a party to go to.”

“Yes, ma’am.” His helmet slid back into place and Clint followed him from the room, dragging Hammer along with him.

Steve led you into the hall. “Let’s get you home, Y/N.”

That was the best idea you’d heard all day.

***

You got ready for the party in Nat’s room which had always been the plan. Wanda joined the two of you and it wasn’t long before you were giggling like school girls. You blamed it on the tension of the day needing to be released. Whatever the reason, by the time you were dressed and Wanda had fixed your hair and make up for you, your cheeks ached from smiling.

“Well?�� You spun in a little circle showing off the dress that made you feel like a princess the moment you put it on.

Both women grinned at you. “You’re going to take his breath away,” Nat said and Wanda nodded in agreement.

You glanced at the time. “I guess we should go.” Despite all the chaos of the day you managed to only be fashionably late. Of course, since it was your party you could make the argument you weren’t late at all.

Once you arrived at the floor where the party was being held, the three of you split up. Your eyes found Tony and you immediately gravitated toward him. Your gaze ran over him as you made your way through the crowd. He had one hand in his pocket and the other hooked around the back of his neck as he leaned forward listening to Rhodey.

You saw the moment Rhodey noticed you. He smiled and said something to Tony who instantly turned to find you. His expression was stunned for the brief moment it took him to rake his gaze over you then a bright smile lit his whole face. He met you half way, his fingers trailing down your cheek.

“You are stunning.”

You gave him a little curtsey. “You aren’t so bad yourself, Mr. Stark.”

He took one of your hands in his and pulled you to him. His other hand settled in the small of your back. Effortlessly, he began to move the two of you to the rhythm of the music playing softly over the speakers. He rested his head alongside yours and hummed with the tune. You closed your eyes and just enjoyed the feeling of being home in Tony’s arms.

“You scared me today,” he said. His voice was so quiet you almost didn’t hear him.

You tilted your head back to look at him. “I’m sorry.”

He kissed your lips. “Not your fault, sweetheart. But it did make me face the horrifying prospect of my life without you in it.”

“I’m not going anywhere, Stark. You’re stuck with me.”

“Thank God,” he said with a laugh and spun you before pulling you in to kiss you again. “I would like to make absolutely sure though. So, I’m going to need you to make me a promise. And do it rather publicly, I’m afraid.”

Your brow furrowed. “What do you want me to do, swear a blood oath?”

He hummed and pursed his lips. “I was thinking something slightly less dramatic. And with more jewelry.” As he said the last, he pulled a small velvet box from his suit jacket. He opened it and your gaze darted from the most beautiful ring you’d ever seen up to him. He grinned but you could see the worry shining from his eyes. “Marry me?”

Your heart raced as you took in everything about this man you loved. Everything about him complemented every piece of you. You beamed at him. “Of course, I will.” He slid the perfectly sized ring on your finger and a cheer went up from the crowd around you. You had honestly completely forgotten they were there, you’d been so lost in your soulmate.

His arms looped around your waist as he pulled you back to him. Your hands rested on his chest, the diamonds sparkling against his suit. He kissed you then. A sweet kiss full of promises for the future. As the two of you separated, he laid his forehead against yours. “I love you, Y/N.”

“I love you, Mr. Stark.”

MINE THOUGHTS ON BIG BROTHER

FAYSAL - definitely a jock type, can’t see him getting evicted first unless he pisses everyone off. he’s got a face that’s either “i’m the nicest guy in the house” or “i’m the new josh,” there is NO in between. his strategy for not letting anyone see he’s a physical powerhouse is going to kind of backfire because he’s SUCH a huge jock that i could tell he was a fucking jock from just his headshot, no freaking way anyone is going to think this guy isn’t a physical threat.

SAM - nice “i want to see your manager” haircut, madam. she describes herself as “multifaceted, charming and charismatic,” and i can already tell i am going to hate this woman. and whomst in the fuck says their favorite big brother houseguest is DANIELE????? (i was trying to think of a worse choice, and i can only come up with like, either cody from last season, or the hantz cousin who got kicked off for trying to kill a guy, or maybe lawon from season 13 who volunteered to get evicted because he thought they’d bring him back with special powers, which did NOT happen.) and then this woman goes on to describe herself with all the positive adjectives she can pull from her thesaurus. she calls herself “extremely perceptive and intuitive,” and says she’ll “influence the other houseguests by means of gentle persuasion and manipulation. Another terrible talent of mine.” I HATE SAM ALREADY. she’s going to get kicked out on day 1 with this attitude. be humble sit down.

TYLER - haven’t we already had like, 50 curly blonde headed surfer guys on this show? what is the deal? anyway one of his descriptive words is “questionable.” he calls himself “questionable.” okay. he says victor, dan and zach (literally “fruit loop dingus” zach) are his favorite houseguests and i love you already, tyler. great choices. his strategy is playing both sides of the house, which isn’t even a strategy since literally everyone does it. his life motto is “do whatever the hell you want” and for something he’d like to bring into the house, he lists “quinoa.” I LOVE HIM ALREADY. I SUPPORT HIM. “QUINOA.” WHAT A LEGEND

BAYLEIGH - okay that is.... the most millennial name i ever heard. but like, it’s not a name that a millennial should have, it’s a name that a millennial would give their child. anyway. one of her descriptive words is “engulfing.” what does that mean, i guess we’ll find out. i like her face. sometimes you just like people’s faces. her favorite houseguest ever is donny, which i think is a clue that i was right that she’s a kind person. she has a kind face AND loves donny, she’s got to be nice (but maybe not too concerned with gameplay, since donny, bless his heart, was the biggest floater ever). her strategy is basically just a long-winded “be myself” kind of thing. i respect that. AND SHE LITERALLY SAYS “BE HUMBLE SIT DOWN” IN HER LIFE MOTTO, DO YOU FUCKING HEAR THAT SAM? i hope bayleigh roasts sam in cold blood and brings her down to earth!!!! okay, further evidence that she’s the nicest houseguest: she wants to bring her bible and yoga mat into the house. i love her. but still, i hope she turns mean and roasts sam. because i hate sam.

JC - here we have our token gay, but he’s clearly also a token bro at the same time. his favorite houseguest of all time is josh....... okay moving on. his strategy is “I am going to be the sweetest small guy that everyone would want to hug and kiss.” best strategy i ever heard in my life. seriously. this is how people win. except for josh, who won by being so insane that no one considered him a threat. which is why NO ONE SHOULD WANT TO EMULATE HIM, THIS STRATEGY ALMOST NEVER WORKS. anyway. enough about josh. returning to jc. not much to talk about with him, just that i definitely think he’s going to get far in the game because he doesn’t talk shit, he isn’t arrogant, he doesn’t look like a huge physical threat (although he’s a dancer so he might be), and his strategy is to be really nice to everyone, which is actually a great freaking strategy. i think he will go far.

HALEIGH - oh my god, first we had a “bayleigh” and now we have a “haleigh.” my god, these freaking millennials and their leigh names. facially, the moment i saw her i was like “she looks just like aaryn” which is..... hopefully not indicative of her personality or beliefs.... anyway, she loves her family, and her favorite houseguest is derrick because “he played an honest game,” yet in the very next paragraph she talks about wanting to deceive her fellow houseguests, so what is the truth? don’t know about her, don’t really have much to say. just that, she talks about being adopted and i hope to god she’s not aaryn’s separated at birth secret twin sister or anything. because that’s the kind of stunt big brother would pull on us commoners.

STEVE - okay now we have our token old man, who will either get evicted immediately or float to the middle and then get betrayed. his favorite contestant is mike boogie. interesting choice. he literally doesn’t even have a strategy and his life motto is “rock on,” and i love him already. and of COURSE he was a cop, because is there a single token old man other than donny who isn’t a cop? wasn’t kevin a cop? i feel like kevin was a cop. or was that someone else? damn i don’t even remember. this guy looks like the kind of houseguest who will float around and not stir up any trouble, and frankly they’re my favorite to root for.

KAYCEE - her strategy is honesty and loyalty, she’ll probably get betrayed on day one. not to be cynical but really. she says that big brother is the only tv show she watches... damn. that could be a great asset for her; with no other shows competing for her memory, her knowledge of the game could be stronger than others who watch a lot of TV. and if she ONLY makes time for big brother and no other show, she’s probably the superest of superfans. she may be one to watch, or she may not. we will see.

WINSTON - damn this guy looks like a winston. he comments that he’s been living alone for 2 years, as though this will help him adjust to the isolation of the big brother house, but... it’s kind of the opposite? after living alone for 2 years, you’re going to be shoved in a house with over a dozen strangers and forced to interact with them all day every day while cameras watch you. i think this guy is going to have a bigger culture shock than he expects. his favorite houseguest is paul. i can see why people would love paul, he seems like the smartest guy in the room, but the reality is, paul isn’t that smart, he’s just been stuck in two consecutive seasons with a cast full of IDIOTS. winston apparently writes love letters to his dog everyday......... that’s dedication. also, he says that he’s been mistaken for two celebrities: ryan reynolds (i can see it) and justin timberlake (nope he’s tripping). somehow i get the feeling that he’s not going to adjust well to the house, and may end up being one of those guys that begs everyone to evict him because he can’t stand it.

RACHEL - first of all, her favorite houseguest is britney, which is the most valid possible answer. she sort of looks like natalie from idk how many season ago that dated james. strategy: to downplay being a physical threat and remain loyal to her original allies. dude, you gotta go with the flow, sometimes you just can’t stay loyal. i actually don’t even have that much to say. just, she looks okay. fine.

SCOTTIE - forgive me if i’m wrong but is this the token nerd, a la ian and steve? he says his least favorite part of the big brother house will be getting shook when he walks in a room and everyone stops talking because they were plotting something, and... that’s 100% something a superfan would say. his favorite player is evel dick, which would be valid if evel dick wasn’t literally an evil human being. he describes himself as a hungry shark and says that his strategy is to pick off the floaters and JESUS this guy is aggressive. also he is a virgin who has never been kissed and freely admits to this fact. somebody get this man a showmance.

ANGIE “ROCKSTAR” - this season’s token eccentric with dyed hair, huge-ass harry potter glasses, and crazy eyes. one of her favorite activities is “dancing under the moonlight around a fire to fierce drum beats.” her favorite houseguests are joey (blue haired girl that got eliminated first like 3 seasons ago) and frankie. she wants to bring a statue of ganesh into the house. she mentions giving natural birth to all her children. i am just stating all this information. i am not going to give comment. just.... telling it like it is.

CHRIS “SWAGGY C” - please god, let this guy not be serious about his nickname, because i am not making reference to “swaggy c” for the rest of the summer. he LOVES paul and says that paul is better than every single other winner except a few, and..... i mean he’s not even wrong, but that’s more a statement about the quality of big brother rather than the quality of paul’s gameplay. when asked if he has a strategy, he says “of course” but doesn’t reveal it.... sneaky sneaky, i like the cut of his jib! he mentions wanting to bring a notebook into the house, but says he doesn’t even need it because he has a photographic memory. we’ll see about that, buster. he seems really confident and ready to play, and idk if that will work in his favor or not.

ANGELA - if katharine mcphee and sarah michelle gellar had a baby. she’s like, the 10th consecutive houseguest to say that the hardest thing about the house will be lack of social media. she seems to hate men, her favorite houseguest is rachel, she calls herself the networking queen, and she’s extremely athletic. this lady is either going to get eliminated immediately or make it to the end. i am calling it. i have a good feeling.

BRETT - has the weirdest descriptive words of any of them: “Vehement, riveting, and trophy.” wtf. like many other hgs, he plans to lie about his career for no discernible reason. whatever. he wants to bring a toothbrush into the house because he “doesn’t want the ladies to think he has stank breath.” you and every other competitor, bud. he also mentions hacking into other people’s computers for fun. okay edgelord. i don’t like this guy, i just have a bad vibe. i feel like he’s going to be one of the first eliminated cause no one will like him.

KAITLYN - suuuuuuper spiritual. crystals. mediums. seances. the whole shebang. production is probably gonna ask her to ramp it up to make herself look even more of a stereotype so everyone can laugh. i feel like she’s not gonna make it far and i already feel sorry for her.
