《Science-Bros: the really long and twisty tale of Tony and Bruce.》And the body count keeps rising...

Tony backed off a bit, letting Bruce go a few feet ahead of him. "Right... Okay... Maybe in an hour?" He asked. "Cause, I really want to shove bugs down that guy, god, beings, pants."

Bruce sighed slightly and mutters. "Maybe..." He didn't at all mean to snap at his lover, but with everyone gone, Doom possessing the Tesseract and wanting him because of his knowledge and make him suffer, it was really stressing him out.

Tony followed behind, doing pretty well for someone who was almost killed twice already. 'Someone's coming.' Hulk suddenly alerted Bruce, waking from his sleep and was on high alert. 'Not Doom, someone else.'

Bruce stopped and looked around a little, stopping Tony as he walks pass him. 'Is it a threat?'

"Bruce? You okay?" Tony asked, looking at him.

'Not sure. It... She, seems... different. Logan different.'

'Logan different? What do you mean?' Bruce asked him.

'Human... No, she's a mutant.12:00' Right in front of them stood Fury.

"What's taking you two so long?"

'That's not Fury. That's her.'

"There's.....there's someone here..a mutant." Bruce explained to both Fury and Tony.

"A mutant? How do you figure that?" Fury walked forward, and Hulk growled.

'That isn't Fury. It's the shape-shifter mutant. The one who is blue.' Tony had shrugged, not really knowing what was going on.

Bruce glared at Fury and said "Your eyepatch. It's on the wrong side, Mystique."

Tony was taken back, and looked at Fury, who changed into the woman in question. "I need help." She pleaded. "Doom almost destroyed the Brotherhood. We all ran, and each of us are in deep hiding. Please you have to help me."

Bruce looked at her for a moment and said sternly "Why? So that you can give the Tesseract to Magneto so he can destroy anyone who's human?"

Mystique started to cry. "Mag... Magneto's dead... Doom killed him... In front of us all." Tony looked sympathetic, but wasn't sure if she was telling the truth.

'Bruce... I do not believe she's lying.'

Bruce breathes in quietly from the news. Though the Brotherhood attacked the Avengers a few times, Magneto had some sympathy towards Bruce, especially the Hulk and considered him more like himself, the Botherhood, and even the X-men than just a human. "I'm....I'm very sorry. Truly I am." Bruce said, touching her arm lightly.

"He... He died bravely... Protecting us..." She broke down completely, arms wrapping around her chest. Tony put a hand on her shoulder, surprised at how she was acting around humans.

The Blue Mutant sobbed into his shoulder, arms wrapped around him for comfort. Tony rubbed her back a bit, awkward around crying women. Steve chose that moment to poked his head around the corner. "Tony, Bruce, are you co-." He stopped, surprised at the sight before him. Bruce looked over at the soldier and moved one hand to motion him that 'it's okay' or 'she not a treat.' to him as he continues to comfort Mystique.

Mystique calmed down a few minutes later, pulling away and wiping away a few stray tears. Tony offered her a clean tissue, which she took and thanks him for.

"Um... If she isn't a threat... why is she here? And could you please put something... anything on?" Steve stuttered, forcing himself to keep his eyes up, but that didn't stop the blush on his cheeks.

Bruce looked back at the mutant and then at himself. "That depends on who you are talking to." Bruce answered back.

That got a chuckle from the other two. Mystique shifted a short black dress over her body, which Steve accepted. "If she is going to an ally, we better tell Commander Fury."

Bruce nodded slightly as they followed Steve where the briefing room is at.

"About time you two got here. If you were maki-" Fury turned and pulled his sidearm out the second he saw Mystique. "What is she doing here?"

"I'm here to inlist the Brotherhood to help stop Dr. Doom." She answered, standing bravely.

Bruce got in front of her and said "She not a treat. Doom attacked the Brotherhood and....... and Magneto. She want's to aid us."

"What about Magneto? He decide to join Doom?" Fury snapped, and Hulk snarled.

"He's dead, if you must know." Mystique snapped, tears welling up in her eyes again. The rest of the group grew silent.

Bruce gently took her hand to keep her calm and glared at anyone who dares to say anything about Magnetos death.

Tony sat down, needing a rest, and patted the seat next to him, non-verbally telling her to sit there. She did, and took a deep breath to keep calm.

"I am sorry for the loss of your leader." Thor calmly said, truly sorry.

Bruce sat down next to her as well since she didn't let go of his hand, letting her squeeze all her anger and sorrow into it.

Fury eyed her, not trusting her completely, but went back to his briefing. "Doom seems to be going after major groups. It seems that if our hypothesis is correct, we're going to lose every hero..." He glanced at Mystique. "...And villain, within the next 48 hours. Emergency warnings have been sent out, and were told to meet here, though not directly, in case Doom caught wind of the message."

Bruce nodded slightly and watched as the Wasp and a few other agents entering in to the room, wondering (and hoping) Hank Pyms was all right. Tony gave a small wave to those who just showed up. Steve stood, and gave them all a salute. Janet nodded to the group as she took her seat. Bruce could see how worried and quiet she was.

"What's the current status on the field?" Fury wasted no time with pleasantries, nor regarding any feelings hurt or otherwise from anyone.

Janet sighs quietly and said "Hank is already at SHIELD's HQ in London. He and a few others are planning to go to Laveria and take down Doom's fort, finding a way to bug his weapons, shields, and find any useful information on why he want's the cube and where he's holding the others."

Bruce shook his head a little. 'Oh course Pyms is that stupid to try things his way without us or Fury.' he thought to himself.

'Isn't Logan and Tony the same way?' Hulk thought back, well rested and ready to find out what's going on.

"That's practically a suicide mission! Why would Ant-Man or anyone think that's a good idea?" Steve asked.

"I'm more upset I wasn't invited." Logan stood off to the side, and Tony nodded in agreement.

'Told you.' Hulk chuckled a bit.

"He wanted to do it on his own okay! He thought 'Hey, while he's possibly after the top scientists here and bringing genocide to Asgard, why not I and few other agents go to his home land so that we're one step head of Fury' " she snapped while mimicking her husbands vice at the last part. "I told him it was a horrible idea but.....he just wants to help." Janet said quietly to Fury.

Fury started to look uncomfortable. He was more use to dealing with level headed people, who ignored their emotions.

Tony noticed and let out a loud sigh, getting everyone's attention. "I say, instead of making Fury hated by all of us for being himself, we have someone as smart, but more sympathetic in charge. So I vote either Steve or Frigga. For you who don't know, Frigga," Tony pointed to the female Asgardian who was sitting beside Loki and Thor. "Is the woman who not only raised Thor, but is also the only person in existence to have Loki's respect."

Bruce sighed a little as he thought about Tony's decision. "Um hello? Who died and made you boss of over-throwing Fury's role? You can't choose who to take charge." Clint said sternly to the billionaire.

"You want to deal with a room full of sobbing woman?" Tony asked.

Fury looked annoyed. "I do not make woman cry."

"Not intentionally, no. But you do have a certain... lack of kindness."

"I'm fine, okay. I....I just hope he'll be okay. I mean, Doom has his robots and Hank is an expert on robots right?..." Janet paused for a moment and sighed a little. "Just wish I can hear from him, you know? Wondering if he's okay..."

"There is no guarantee." Fury bluntly told her.

Tony slapped his hand over his face. "Right. That's what I mean. Now, all in favor of Steve, raise your hand or something similar."

Bruce and Natasha were the first to raise their hands. Clint didn't raise his hand, still think Tony's idea was idiotic.

Steve looked around, not raising his own hand. "And who votes Frigga?" Tony lifted his arm high above his head. Mystique followed, as well as Thor and Loki. Steve blushed, but timidly raised his hand off the table, the limb not going above his head. Both and Natasha smiles a little at the decision, despite being the only two who voted opposite.

"Right. Any of our guest want to vote? She will be the leader if you vote otherwise." Tony looked at the other heroes, willing to take whoever wins as the leader of this rebellion. Bruce turned back to look at Logan, wondering who he would of chosen as the leader.

"I rather Frigga, but, whatever." He shrugged, lighting another cigar.

'Frigga. Please note I vote Frigga.' Hulk thought to Bruce, wanting his views to be seen too.

"The Other Guy votes Frigga as well." Bruce said to the team. Janet smiles a little and said to Frigga "Well, I guess I'll join the bandwagon then and vote for you too, ma'am."

Fury glared at everyone, and turned to Frigga. "Well ma'am, I guess you're in charge. Will you be needing anything?" Furys eye twitched, showing he wasn't happy with the results.

Bruce sighed a little as he leans into his chair, he desperately needs a rest after all that as happen but know's this wasn't a good time at all for a break. Everyone sat/stood, ready to listen to what their orders were from their leader.

Frigga thought about what to do next and looked at Janet. "When was the last you're heard of husband?" She asked her.

"He... He sent me a vid that the team was landing in Romania and was about to head over to Laveria." Janet told her. Just when Frigga was gonna asks what a vid was, Jarvis announced at the main screen that a new message from Hank Pym appeared.

"Pull it up on the screen JARVIS." Tony answered, watching as the video started to play.

The image appeared on the screen, though it was static for a second or two. "Hello? Hello anyone? Fury? Hill? Colso-wait! Stark? What happen? I thought Doom tainted your insides?" Pyms said though the cam.

"He did. Twice. Bruce managed to save my life both times. What's going on Hank?" Tony was ready to spring to action, even though if he left his seat too fast, he'd probably end up falling on the floor. "Wasp told us that you decided to take out Dooms fort."

"Yeah? Well even better, I'm actually in the fort right as we speak. No one knows I'm in here." He said, smirking a little.

"What!?! You manage to sneak in the place were a man's possess with the Teseract that can easily kill you, and NOW you picked the time to talk!?!" Janet snapped at him.

"Dude! You have two options right now. One, blast the place sky high and get your as..." Tony glanced at Frigga, and cleared his throat. "Arse, back here. Or just get back here now."

"I'm very very beyond sorry Janet sweetie, I am. As for what I'm doing? The rest of the agents and I were thinking of destroying his main frame but we've came across some.... Interesting files, notes, and places of his."

"What have you found Mr. Ant-Man?" Frigga asked, and Fury twitched again. He should be saying that.

'If Fury twitches one more time, can we suggest him getting checked for ticks?' Hulk asked, distracted by the sudden movement each time. Bruce fought a smirk.

"What haven't I found? Info in the cube, locations on where to hit, weapons, files on us, he's got a ton on you, Doctor Banner." Hank said.

"Oh wonderful, I have another General Ross type after me." Bruce groaned.

"Do not worry Dr. Banner, you will be protected." Thor assured, receiving a nod from Frigga.

"Send all information to us, and destroy his palace." She ordered.

Hank nodded and went to the nearest keyboard and began to send everything he found in Doom's fort. "Complete. You guy will get it shortly." he told them.

"Good, now get out of there immediately!" Janet said, worried if her husband would get caught by Doom or his men.

Tony started sorting through it as it arrived. He also scanned the area around him, and paled. "Hank. Get the hell out of there." He looked scared, terrified even. "Hank there's a nuke."

"Wait Hank! Have you heard from the others or the X-Men? Have you found them?" Bruce asked him.

Hank was about to answer until he heard one of the SHIELD through his ear piece that Doom was back. "Shit! Tell everyone to head out quickly as possibly now!" he said to the agent through the com.

"Get out of there now." Frigga ordered, and turned to Loki. "Do you think you can create some illusions from this distance?"

"I can try." He closed his eyes, and concentrated hard. On the screen, three more life-like Hanks appeared, and started running around.

Hank nearly jumped when he saw more than one of him in the room. He turns back to the screen and said "The rest and I will try to get to where you are a fast as we can. There should be some clue on where the rest of the team went, Banner. I'll meet you guys up soon. Janet, I love you." After that, he cuts off the screen.

Frigga turned to everyone. "Anyone who can understand this... Technology... Please report to Fury." Fury stood, and started barking orders.

Tony stood up, kissed Bruce on the head, and went off with the others to start working on a way to defeat Doom. "I'll see you later."

Bruce sighed as he watched Tony leave to help Fury and turned back to Mystique. "We will find the others. Doom is gonna pay for the deaths of many."

"I'll call in if I hear from Hank and the others." Clint said Janet as he went to one of the computers to scan for their jet.

"I should alert the others. Tell them it is safe to come here." Mystique stood up, and went to look for a phone.

Steve rubbed the back of his head. "What are we suppose to do ma'am?" Frigga turned to them. "You find every healer, and prepare them for any injured." Steve nodded, and turned to Bruce.

"I'll go to the nearest infirmary then.....and some shoes and a shirt." Bruce said quietly as he got up.

"I'll lead you to where you need to be then." Natasha said as she lead Bruce out.

"Miss. If Doom is after Dr. Banner, please be near him at all times. You seem to be a valkyrie." Frigga told her with a smile. Thor smiled brightly, while Loki chuckled.

"Aye! She is as brave and strong a fighter as any valkyrie in Vahalla."Thor boomed.

Natasha smiles at them. Even though she knows nothing can stop the Hulk, she'll still protect her friend no matter what. "I will." she said and the two left the room.

'Bruce, what's a valkyrie?' Hulk asked, having no clue what the Norse gods just called Natasha.

'I'll tell you later, big guy.' Bruce said as the assassin led him into the infirmary and loan him as shirt and some shoes.

'Fine. Don't know why you need a body guard. I'm good enough.' Hulk grumbled.

'Leave her be. I know you don't trust her, but I do. Tasha is a good friend and she's a good body guard.' Bruce told the Hulk sternly as he puts the shirt on.

'But I can figure out where someone is near, no matter what! She gets a tranquilizer dart in the neck, she's down. I do, and you better have ten more on the way or I will smash you.' Hulk argued.

'It's better to have the group with someone than alone.' Bruce pointed out to him.

"Everything okay, Bruce?" The redhead asked him, noticing he was awfully quiet.

'Fine. If you're wrong, I will brag.' Hulk said, sitting back, on high alert of anyone who may attack.

'Good boy.' Bruce said to the Hulk and turns to Natasha. "Yeah, I'm good. My mine was miles away, you know."

'Bruce someone's coming. I think whoever they are, they're insane.' Hulk growled.

The door suddenly swung open, and a person in a black and red outfit jumped through it. "Hello Nurse! Or Doc. Or rage guy." Deadpool posed, fists on his hips and his face looking away from the other two in the room. "Look who avoided Senior powerhog!"
