Chapter Text

I was suddenly and rudely awakened from a good dream, one where I was with my parents and living a normal family life. It was a dream I had been having quite a lot, lately. Sometimes the dream feels so real that I could almost swear that it was my real life and the other life was the dream. Of course, every time I awaken from this dream, I am instantly pulled back to reality. This of course did nothing to brighten my mood, so most mornings, I could and was, especially cranky! Especially mornings like this, when I was awakened by one of my siblings.

“What the hell!” I screamed in fury as I was jolted awake by a sudden stinging sensation.

I could see in those first few Nano seconds that Pym, who had zapped me with one of his stingers, suddenly regretted doing so. Before he even saw it coming, my hand smacked the flying bug sized Pym across the room and into the opposite wall.

“Sorry James, I have been trying to wake you for 10 minutes now. I guess I shouldn’t have zapped you.” Pym quickly apologized all while still trying to get over the stun of my slapping him across the room.

“Why did you have to wake me now?” I grumpily asked, in an almost whiny voice.

“James, it’s after 10am, you missed breakfast again and you’re late for training!” Pym informed me as he returned to my bedside, growing back into his normal child size as he got closer.

“10am? It’s still too early!” I answered and buried myself back under the blankets. “Besides, I’m not hungry!” My muffled voice announced under my blankets.

All I cared about at that moment was trying to go back to my dream. All I wanted in the world was to be with my parents right now and this unfortunately was the only way that I found that I could be. Unfortunately, though, I could tell that Pym was not about to let me go back to sleep and I was right.

“Come on James, you need to get up! Tony said that if you don’t then he will be forced to get you up! And you know what that means!” Pym warned.

I of course did know what it meant; Tony would drag my ass out of bed and dump me into the cold pond outside our quarters. This was definitely something I didn’t want to happen.

“Okay! Okay!” I groaned and shifted in my bed. When I felt a familiar feeling, I couldn’t help cussing. “Damn!”

“What’s wrong James” Pym asked though I am sure he had a pretty good idea what it was due to the smell emanating from the bed.

“Pym, I swear if you don’t get out of my room right now, I am going to rip your little body apart!” I yelled at him as I flung the blankets off of myself in shame and disgust.

Pym knew all too well that I was in one of those moods I tend to get in, especially after discovering that I once again wet my bed. Deep down, I knew that Pym felt sorry for me, as he too knew how embarrassing it was, to wet the bed. Pym, like myself, had wet the bed regularly up until recently, now he only wets a few times a month. In my case though, I still wet the bed almost every night and usually more than once. About a year ago I had all but stopped but then all of a sudden, it got worse once again. I saw Pym quickly make his exit but I knew by the look on his face, he had seen the evidence of how badly I had once again wet myself during the night.

Once Pym had shut my door, I couldn’t help sighing in defeat as I sat up and took in my very wet condition.

A thought shot through my mind. “How in the world could I, a bedwetting baby, ever be expected to lead this group of future Avengers?”

I knew better to waste any more time as I knew Tony would, as he threatened, be in soon to make sure I was actually getting up and ready for training. Reluctantly I got out of bed and stripped myself of my wet PJ’s and then stripped the wet bedding from my bed. Then, naked as the day I was born, I streaked to the laundry room where I shoved my pee smelling bedding into the washing machine. Making sure to add soap and starting it up before heading to the bathroom where I took a quick shower. Finally, now cleaned of my pee, I quickly dried myself and ran back to my room, where I proceeded to get myself dressed. Finally ready, I set off towards the training grounds.

As I made my way to meet up with the others, my mind slipped back to my dream and I couldn’t help feeling a warmth flow through my body for a fraction of a minute. Then as soon as that moment of happiness came, it was gone. What I was left with was the thought and disgust of being almost 13 years old and still a bed wetter! I also knew that I was in for a butt chewing from Tony about being late again and I was not really looking forward to it.

Chapter Text

Just like I thought, no sooner had I walked into the training grounds, Tony started his lecture on tardiness and how it only hurts me and my team when I don’t show up on time. This time though, Tony let the matter drop only after a few minutes of lecturing; which was totally unexpected! All I could come up with for a reason this was the case, was that Pym had already blabbed to everyone that I, the son of Captain America, the future leader of the new Avengers, once again wet my bed like the little baby bedwetting boy I was. I could also tell that Tony seemed to be lost in concentration, which was probably another reason he dropped it so quickly.

Tony spaced out for several seconds and when he did come back from wherever he was in his head, he noticed that all of us kids were staring at him; Torunn even looked a bit concerned.

“Tony, do thee feel okay?” Torunn asked in concern.

“Oh… ah… I am fine. Sorry class, I was just lost in a few thoughts. Anyway, we are running behind with your training this morning. So, let’s get to it. Please pay more attention on your hand-to-hand combat today as it looks like some of you still can use some more training in that area.”

“You heard Tony Pymhead!” And as Azari said this, he gave Pym a slight shove and almost knocking him to the ground. Pym, who was at his normal size, was taken by surprised by the sudden push and if it hadn’t been for me catching him, he would have surely fallen to the ground.

“Hey Azari, that’s not fair!” Pym whined

“Boys! Humph! Why do thee always have to fight? I have half of a mind to give thee each a few whacks from the flat of my sword on your small butts!” Torunn threatened.

I was still trying to wake up; I guess that was why I was finding this all amusing. This of course was nothing new as we all tended to fight and argue with each other over the silliest of things. Even though Tony gets frustrated with us kids at times when we fight, he has also assured us that it is only natural that we do so. Of course, according to him, this didn’t give us the excuse to do it all the time. Sometimes Tony just confuses me!

“Will you please stop arguing and start your training!” Tony ordered and then started to leave but before walking out the door, he turned back towards me. “James, after you are done training, please come to my workshop. There are a few things I would like to talk to you about. Okay son?”

Not knowing for sure what this was all about, I just nodded my head. “Will do Tony.” I replied and with that he left us to train.

We had been training for quite a while when once again I had to go back over some of the hand-to-hand combat skills, I was trying to teach Pym. “Pym, I don’t get it, you’re the smartest 9-year-old there is! Why can’t you grasp these simple hand-to-hand combat moves?” I asked in exasperation. I mean, I had been going over the same moves with him for quite some time and he was actually worse the last time than he was the first!

“10 years old!” Pym huffed in frustration. “Besides, brains have nothing to do with hand-to-hand combat. Why do I even need to know this, when all I have to do is fly faster than someone can hit me?”

“Sorry squirt, I keep forgetting you had a birthday last week!” I smiled and joked, trying to relieve some of the pressure we were feeling. Thinking back, I wished though that I had chosen my words more carefully!

“Hey! That’s not fair. I’m not the one who squirts in his sleep every night!” Pym said a little angrily. In fact, Pym was proud that he hadn’t wet the bed now for almost 4 weeks, which was a personal best for him.

Of course, Pym’s reply only made me feel worse about the whole thing. “I’m sorry Pym; I didn’t mean it like that. I don’t know why, but I just can’t stop it! I feel like a big baby!” I announced loudly almost in tears.

I hadn’t noticed but Azari and Torunn had overheard me and Pym and realized at that moment that I had wet my bed again last night. Where Pym had gone almost 4 weeks dry, I had wet my bed so much lately, I couldn’t remember the last time I was dry.

“James, I am truly sorry for thee. I know how much it pains thee for having this night time difficulty.” Torunn said softly as she hugged me. I guess it was then that I realized I had started to cry.

“Yeah buddy, I would hate to be in your place but I know… we all know for that matter, that you are not doing it on purpose.” Azari said with assurance in his voice.

For some reason Pym found what Azari said extremely funny.

“What are you laughing so hard about bug brain?” Azari asked, a little annoyed.

Still laughing Pym tried his best to explain. “If you wet the bed during the night, wouldn’t you electrocute yourself?” Pym howled with laughter.

For some reason, Azari did not find this amusing one bit but it did the trick for me as I felt a smile form on my lips. The thought of Azari’s electricity producing power mixing with a possible growing wet spot, caused me to start laughing as well and soon Torunn and even Azari himself started to laugh.

I am not sure what got into me or made me say what I did but with all the laughter I found what I said next slipping between my lips. “Yeah, remind me never to sleep with you!” For a split second I couldn’t believe I just made a joke like that about my problem but in the end, laughter won out and I forgot about it.

Knowing we weren’t going to accomplish much more; we decided that Training was done for the morning. When you come to think of it, the morning was pretty much gone as noon was not too far off and because I missed breakfast, I was surely getting hungry for lunch.

“Hey guys, I have to go and see what Tony wants. I will see you all at lunch, okay?” I announced to them. I really was wondering what Tony wanted, but at the same time I was worried at what he might say to me.

“What does Tony want with Thee?” Torunn asked before I could get up and leave. We had been sitting and resting for a few minutes, and of course shooting the breeze.

“I am not really sure.” I answered worriedly.

“Don’t worry, you know Tony, it’s probably nothing big.” Azari slapped me on my back as he told me this.

“I am still worried about what was wrong with him this morning, thee seemed a little distracted and maybe a little worried.” Torunn reminded all of us about this morning weirdness with Tony.

I hadn’t thought of it since it happened this morning, but I too was worried as I never remember seeing Tony look the way he did this morning. Something was up and I was sure of it. “Maybe that is what Tony wants to see me about?” I thought out loud.

“What do you mean James?” Pym asked.

“Nothing, I was just thinking out loud to myself is all.” I assured him.

“I think the reason why Tony was distracted this morning was that he got a communiqué, I mean, didn’t anyone find it strange that he didn’t stick around very long this morning or even train with us?” Pym announced to us and probably shocked us all.

“Huh?” I asked stunned that Pym seemed to know something that I or the other two didn’t know. Well Pym knew quite a bit for being only 10. In fairness, he was smarter than us all, outside of Tony that is.

“Didn’t you see?” Pym asked, shocked that we didn’t seem to notice what he did. “Tony had a small device hidden behind his earlobe; it’s his new communication device he has been working on.”

At first, I was amazed with Pym’s sight of the obvious. For some reason, none of us others had noticed the small device, but now thinking about it, I did remember seeing it behind Tony’s earlobe after all. The second thing that amazed me and made me even more curious as to why he wanted to see me, was that, if he did get a communiqué, where did it come from? With this thought I excused myself from the others and rushed off to find Tony!

Interlude

~~~~~~~~~~

Authors Note: This next part is info on who the Avengers were and is here mainly for those readers who don’t have a clue as to who they were.

•  The Soldier - Captain America, leader of the mighty Avengers. Captain America, a relic from World War II, found himself in the 21st century. Before he was Captain America, he was Steve Rogers, a weak and sickly man. Through a secret military program, Steve Rogers was given a specialized weaponized serum, which turned him into a Super Soldier. Since then, no one has been able to reproduce all the variables that turned Steve into Captain America. Captain America possesses superior strength and combat skills.

 
•  The God - Thor, comes not from Earth, but instead from another realm called Asgard. He is immortal and almost indestructible. He carries a formidable weapon, a hammer called Mjollnir, which commands the mighty power of  nature itself. Add in the abilities of flight and you have the Avengers’ most powerful member (Note that I said most powerful, not strongest).

• The Knight - The Invincible Iron Man. A very skilled human combatant, clad in an almost indestructible suit of technologically advanced armor. Through skill and technology, the Knight was a regular and formidable member of the Avengers. He was also known as a billionaire playboy Tony Stark, one of the smartest men alive!

• The Spy - Black Widow is a world class athlete, gymnast, acrobat, aerialist capable of numerous complex maneuvers and feats, expert martial artist (including karate, judo, ninjutsu, aikido, savate, various styles of kung fu, and boxing), marksman, and weapons specialist as well as having extensive espionage training. She has been enhanced by biotechnology that makes her body resistant to aging and disease and heals at an above human rate. While Black Widow is the name of a program that this particular Black Widow came from, this Black Widow’s name is Natasha Romanova.

• The Giant - (AKA Giant-Man, AKA Ant-Man, AKA Henry Pym Sr.) is a scientific genius with a Ph.D. in biochemistry, along with expertise in the fields of quantum physics; robotics/cybernetics; artificial intelligence, and entomology. He discovered the subatomic "Pym particles" that enable mass to be shunted or gained from an alternate dimension, thereby changing the size of himself or other beings or objects. After constant experimentation with size-changing via ingested capsules and particle-filled gas, Pym is eventually able to change size at will, and mentally generate Pym particles to change the sizes of other living beings or inanimate objects. Pym retains his normal strength when "ant" size, and possesses greatly increased strength and stamina when in "giant" form, courtesy of the increased mass. Pym’s costume is synthetic stretch fabric composed of unstable molecules and automatically adapts to his shifting sizes. He also uses a cybernetic helmet for achieving rudimentary communication with ants and other higher order insects.

• The King - The Black Panther, AKA T'Challa, was a true king. As King of the ‘Wakanda’ people, he has superhumanly acute senses and increased strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, and agility. He wears a specially designed suit that protects him from radiation and physical attack; it is also resistant to magic. He has access to a vast collection of magical artifacts, advanced Wakandan technological and military hardware. He is a skilled hunter, tracker, strategist, politician, inventor, and scientist. He has a Ph.D. in Physics. He also has been granted the knowledge of every past Black Panther. The King is a rigorously trained gymnast and acrobat, showing mastery in various African martial arts as well as contemporary ones and fighting styles that belong to no known disciplines.

• The Pixie - or better known as the Wasp, AKA Janet Pym, had several abilities. Making use of the cellular implantation of sub-atomic Pym particles, she possessed the power to alter her physical size, causing her body's mass to be shunted to or gained from an alternate dimension known as Kosmos. She was able to shrink to a minimum of several centimeters or grow to a maximum of several hundred feet. Smaller or larger sizes were possible but the exertion strained on her body. Initially, these abilities stemmed from use of a Pym particle gas released from special capsules. Over time, however, her body absorbed enough particles to cause cellular mutation due to repeated exposure and allowed her to alter her size at will. At miniature size, her strength level increased as her body's mass was compacted. At giant size, her strength and endurance increased with her height, reaching superhuman levels. Despite the advantages of giant size, she usually preferred to remain the diminutive Wasp, calling on her growth power only in times of extreme emergency. At miniature size, the Wasp grew a pair of translucent insect wings from her back, a result of genetic modifications provided by Hank Pym. These granted her the power of flight, at speeds up to 40 mph. The Wasp was also able to harness and augment her body's natural bio-electric energy, releasing it from her hands in powerful electrical force bursts, which she called her "stinger blasts", "stingers", or "wasp's stings". Originally, she required special wrist devices to produce these but again, Pym particle absorption allowed her to create the ability unaided.

• The Ghost - Vision who was a Synthezoid originally built by Ultron but later allied himself with the Avengers. With a Jewell placed in his forehead, he is able to absorb all the energy he needs to operate. That same Jewel can be used to shoot out energy beams as well. Being an artificial life-form/android of sorts, the Vision possesses multiple superhuman senses as well as superhuman stamina, reflexes, speed, agility, and strength. The Vision also possesses the ability to manipulate his density, which at its lowest allows flight and a ghostly, phasing intangibility, and at its heaviest provides superhuman strength, immovability, and a diamond-hard near invulnerability. The Vision often uses his ability to alter his density against foes, by phasing an intangible hand through them and then partially re-materializing it - a process he describes as ‘physical disruption’. This effect typically causes great pain and results in incapacitation.

• The Archer - Hawkeye has no superhuman powers but he is at the very peak of human conditioning; he is an exceptional fencer, acrobat, and a grandmaster marksman, having been trained from childhood (Especially with a bow and arrow). This includes considerable strength. He has also been thoroughly trained by Captain America in tactics, martial arts, and hand-to-hand combat. He excels in the use of ranged weapons, especially the bow and arrow, and carries a quiver containing a number of customized "trick arrows". Hawkeye is also known to use a ‘Sky-Cycle’ as his mode of transportation. The Sky-Cycle is modeled after a commercial snowmobile and is fitted with anti-gravitational technology. It is voice operated and has an auto-pilot steering system.

Chapter Text

I could barely contain my excitement and curiosity as I hurried towards Tony’s workshop. For almost 10 years now, we have been totally alone; cut off from Earth and its people. In fact, the planet we were on had no other advanced life at all. Tony had explained that it was for our safety that we were in a desolate part of the Galaxy, far from Ultron’s grasp. So, the question was, who could it be? Well, that is if Pym was right about Tony being contacted.

As I was thinking of this another thought went through my head. “Wow, 10 years we have been here with no one else except for Tony and my sibs.”

I have been away from Earth since I was 2 years old, long before I could even have a chance of remembering anything from my time there. Out of all of us kids, Torunn is the only one who could remember Earth. She also has memories of her own father. Saying that I was extremely jealous of her for that, would be an understatement. All I have are the stories that Tony told us and it will never make up for the real thing.

Not a day goes by where I wish that Ultron had never existed or that my dad had killed him instead of the other way around. If it wasn’t for him (Well it is not really ‘a him’ but ‘an it’.) I would still be on Earth with my parents. One thing’s for sure, I can’t wait for the day I am ready to lead the new Avengers back to Earth to take my revenge on Ultron. It is the only thing that keeps me going, thinking about my revenge.

As my thoughts ran through my head, I couldn’t help thinking about the story that Tony told us kids.

<><><>

And there came a day unlike any other, when the Earth's Mightiest Heroes were united against a common threat – The Soldier, the God, the Knight, the Spy, the Giant, the King, the Pixie, the Ghost, and the Archer! On that day, the Avengers were born; to fight foes that no single hero could withstand. Over time they added more heroes to their ranks.

Together, the Avengers battled against Time Traveling Conquerors, Alien Invaders, Mutant Commanders, and Masters of Evil – the Avengers vanquished them all and when the world was finally at peace, the heroes-built lives of their own.

The Soldier and Spy fell in love, as did the Giant and the Pixie. The King found his Queen. And the God returned home, far away from the world of men. And soon, the children of the Avengers came to be, children who would become a new generation of heroes.

But in time evil returned, an evil known as Ultron. Ultron wanted nothing less than total dominion over the world. But the Avengers stood in its way. Sadly, their defeat was inevitable. But before they fell, the Avengers hid their children in a faraway place where they would grow up safe from Ultron's grasp, because the Avengers knew that as long as the children were alive, there was still hope, hope for the future.

<><><>

Remembering the story once again, for some reason, sent a shiver down my spine. For a moment I felt a stab of fear pierce my soul, but it was quickly replaced once again for my hatred of Ultron and the need for vengeance.

I had been so caught up in my own thoughts, that I had actually passed the door to Tony’s workshop. I sighed to myself and proceeded to double back.

“What is wrong with me?” I asked out loud, out of irritation.

Reaching my destination, I pushed the door chime to let Tony know that I was there. I knew better than to just walk into his workshop; that was one of the rules that Tony asked us kids to follow. He stated that it was his one place that he can be alone to himself and because of this; this room was generally off limits unless summoned to it. Besides, the only one who was interested in this room was Pym as it was generally full of a bunch of technological and scientific junk, that Tony was working on. Then again, one of those turned out to be my cool shield!

I waited several minutes for Tony to answer the door. It was a known fact that when Tony was in this room that a herd of elephants could pass him and he wouldn’t have even noticed. Because of this I had to push the chime a couple more times before the door finally opened.

“James, come in but please don’t touch anything!” I heard Tony’s voice come from the other side of the workshop.

As I got closer, I could see that Tony was busy with something on his work desk. I tried to figure out what it was but for the life of me I hadn’t a clue! Tony looked up at me and noticed my confused look.

“Interesting, isn’t it?” Tony asked smiling. I was sure he knew that I had no clue what it was.

“What is it?” I asked still not sure.

“It is a new miniature probe?” Tony announced like I would know what a probe was.

More interested in the reason why Tony wanted to see me and the possible communication he received, I decided to drop my questions about the probe and get right down to business.

“You asked me to come by after practice.” I reminded Tony.

“Yes James. I really think it is time we had a little talk.” Tony said in what I took as a fatherly tone. “Here, take a seat.” Tony pointed towards another chair.

I quickly sat down and pondered what it was that he wanted to discuss. I was starting to get an uneasy feeling and I was almost positive that it was not about the possible communication after all.

“What do you want to talk about?” I asked nervously as I sat down.

“Well James, I am starting to worry about you. Lately you don’t seem to be your normal energetic self. On top of always being late to practice, you also seem to have withdrawn from your family here as well. I was hoping that you could tell me what is going on and see if we can possibly get the old James back.”

I sighed and thought about what Tony had just said. I really didn’t know what to tell him. Lately I always feel angry and useless and the only thing I could think of, that could link this, was possibly my constant dream or maybe in actuality it was a nightmare. I decided to keep my dream to myself; after all I was almost 13 and no longer a little kid, even if I did still wet my bed every night. Instead, I just shrugged my shoulders and looked at him blankly.

“James, you know you can tell me anything.” Tony tried to reassure me and when I didn’t respond he continued, though with a little bit of hesitancy in his voice. “I notice that you have been wetting your bed more than normal lately.”

As the words ‘wetting your bed’ came out of Tony’s mouth, I cringed in self-loathing. Tony noticed right away and reached out and put a firm hand on my small knee and squeezed it slightly. This small act of reassurement did make me feel slightly better.

I don’t know why for sure, but suddenly, I found myself opening up to Tony and telling him everything. I even changed my mind and told him about my nightly dream. I also talked to him about my increased bedwetting and my longing for my parents and a normal life. I ended with telling him about how I felt being the only one without powers and my feelings about leading the new group of Avengers someday. After I was done exposing my soul to Tony, I felt deep sobs take over me. Like a little baby I sat there and cried in front of Tony and didn’t start to feel better until Tony picked me up and held me in his strong hands.

“There, there, little one; let it all out. It is okay to cry, so let it all out and you will feel a lot better.” Tony massaged my back soothingly the whole time I was crying.

Tony was right, once I had recomposed myself and was once again seated in my chair, I really did feel a lot better. Now able to carry on a conversation again, Tony started to help me to control and put in order all these emotions I was having.

“First, I want to reassure you that even though I am not your father, nor could I ever replace him, I will always still love and care for you James. I am always here for you no matter what; so, I want you from now on to let me know when things are bothering you.” Tony paused for a moment to let what he said sink in.

“Now I want you to stop worrying about leading your brothers and sister in future battles. For now, you are way too young to worry about the pressures and responsibility of leading. I know that you feel that just because your father led the Avengers, that you have to live up to his legacy. Your father was your father; you are James and not your father. Understand?” Tony gave me a look like he was expecting me to answer his question.

“I guess you’re right.” I admitted while at the same time shrugging my shoulders and sending a mixed signal to Tony.

“Are you confused there, little guy?” Tony laughed.

“I am sorry, I understand. But Tony…” at this I tried to put on an adult face. “…can you please not call me little guy anymore?”

“James, I promise from now on to not refer to you as little or young anymore, but please if I do it by mistake, know that it was just a slip of the tongue. I know that you and your brothers and sister are not little kids anymore, but it is hard for me to recognize that you are growing up. I look at the 4 of you as my own children.” Tony said affectionately.

“I know, and we love you too Tony!” I replied.

Tony smiled with loving acknowledgment and continued our discussion. “I know you’re worried about not having your father’s abilities but I want to reassure you that super powers don’t make a superhero. I also want to point out that you have superior fighting skills and could easily take down a grown man.” Tony seemed really proud about this fact. “Even though you haven’t been on time to training lately, you are still the best hand to hand fighter out of your brothers and sister. I have seen you hold your own with them even though they have powers.”

“I guess I never thought about it that way.” I admitted.

Tony was right; I could hold my own, even against Torunn and her superior strength.

“I guess I always compared myself to other villains like Ultron.” I said out loud.

“That’s the next thing; I don’t want you worried about Ultron. I know you feel that it is your duty to avenge your parents. Just know for now that you are safe from Ultron; and whether it is your destiny to one day defeat him, that for now, all you need to worry about is growing up and trying to be as happy as you can be.”

I nodded my head in understanding when Tony looked at me for confirmation that I was following and understanding him.

Then as if he remembered something, Tony asked, “Did I ever tell you that there were a couple times that your father had his super soldier strength and other abilities, taken from him?”

“No.” I answered while at the same time shaking my head no. “I didn’t know he had his powers taken from him!” I stated in amazement.

“I don’t know if you would call your father’s abilities, powers; but yes, he did.” Tony answered. “Anyway, even though your father didn’t have his abilities; it didn’t stop him from doing what he always did best, be a Superhero. He still did his best to lead and fight alongside the other Avengers.”

I am not sure why Tony never told me about this before but knowing it now, made me feel a little better about not having powers.

“I also want you to know that there is no telling, that maybe, as you get older, that you may eventually inherit your father’s super soldier abilities. In fact, you might not remember this, but your brother, Pym, didn’t show any sign of his powers until he was around 4.”

Tony was right, I hadn’t remembered that. Then again, I was only like 6 years old at the time.

“So, don’t you worry about the powers, just keep practicing your fighting skills, and one day you will be as good or even better of a fighter then your father was.” Tony assured me.

“Now, let’s talk about your dreams. How long have you been having this dream now?” Tony asked.

“I don’t know, a few months maybe?” I answered, but not really sure.

“I see.” Tony replied. “I wish I had a degree in psychology so that I could help you better with this problem. I guess the only thing I can think of is helping you cope better with the stress you have been feeling. Maybe talking to me about your dream will help. I do want you to know though, no matter what, you can’t live in your dreams, so please don’t use it as a means of escape.”

The last thing that Tony brought up was the topic that made me feel the most uncomfortable; my increased bedwetting! It was just that every time it was brought up, it made me feel like a baby and even though everyone here knew about it; I still didn’t like talking about it.

“Now, about your bedwetting; I know that you don’t like talking about it, but I think it was about time that we did something about this.” Tony let his words sink in for a second or two before continuing. “As you have already admitted, you’re not only wetting every night now, but your also wetting multiple times each night. I cannot see how this can be helping you get a good night’s sleep. I think it is time that we talk about protection…”

At this, I interrupted Tony. “I won’t wear diapers!” I shouted abruptly, shattering the peacefulness around us.

“Hey little gu… I mean James; wearing diapers will not make you a baby. In fact, I really think it will show maturity that you are doing something to deal with the problem.

“I just don’t know?” I answered truthfully.

Tony nodded his head. “Okay, but can you at least think about it for a while. I really think that it will not only make life easier for yourself, but I think that you will sleep better and even with wearing diapers, feel better about yourself.”

I considered Tony’s proposal and with a sigh, agreed to think about it. “Okay, I will think about it but I don’t see me changing my mind.” I answered truthfully.

Again, Tony smiled. “Well, that’s a start kiddo.” He then looked at his watch, “Well, where has the time gone.” He then looked back at me. “It looks like were late for lunch. I am sure that since you missed breakfast that you must be starving by now. Why don’t you go get something to eat?”

I nodded my head and got up but before I left, I asked Tony if he was coming too, as his attention was now returned back to the device he was working on when I first came into his workshop. “Are you not coming too?”

Tony looked up at me and consulted his watch again. “I think I will grab something a little later, right now I want to finish this first.”

With one last look at Tony, I turned and left him to his new invention. As I walked towards the dining area, I started to realize how hungry I actually was. My stomach suddenly grumbled with agreement. It wasn’t until I was walking into the dining room that I realized that with all the stuff Tony and I had talked about, I had completely forgot to ask about that mysterious possible transmission he received. Then again, maybe Pym was wrong. I mean, there really was no one near enough to us to even transmit a message. And with that, I put the thought out of my head and didn’t think about it again until the next day.

Chapter Text

“Hawkeye, Panther, Wasp, Widow, Giant Man, and I; will keep his drones busy! Thor, you, and Hulk hit him with everything you got! Tony, I need you to take our children away from here! Get them to safety, please!”

Tony hesitated and I gave him a pleading look. “Captain, you need me to help you fight!” he exclaimed.

“Tony, I know you want to fight, but you know as well as I do, that we may lose. It is more important than ever, that you get our children to safety.” I was truly concerned for the safety of our children and knew that Tony would be the best protector for them. “Take them to where we decided upon and if we win, we will send word for you to return with them; otherwise, please teach them and keep them safe!

I watched as Tony nodded in agreement then picked up my son who was holding onto my pant leg and trying his best to understand why all the adults in his world were so worried! As Tony was about to leave, Widow stopped him.

“Just a moment Tony, I want to say goodbye to my son.”

As I watched the woman I loved, kiss our son goodbye, maybe even for the last time; I too was drawn to say my own goodbye.

“James, I know you are too young to understand this but your mother and I love you dearly; so much so that we would lay our lives down in order to protect you. Hopefully someday we will be together, if not, always know we love you! With that, I handed my toddler son his favorite stuffed animal and kissed him on his forehead. Then I patted the stuffed tiger on its head and said, “Tony, whatever you do, make sure he never loses this as it is a memory and testament of his parents love!” And with that, I watched Tony leave with my son; on his way to gather the other children.

I looked around to everyone and gave them a knowing look before grabbing my shield and kissing my beautiful wife one last time before we began our battle with Ultron. Something deep inside of me knew I would never see James again and I just hoped that one day he would forgive me for sending him away with the others. With this last thought in the front of my mind, I went to face Ultron and his drones for the last time!

<><><>

…I awoke with a start! “What…? What was that about?” I asked myself out loud. I felt sweat drip from me in rivulets.

It took me a few minutes to wake up enough to realize that I had been dreaming. “Strange,” I thought to myself. “I never had a dream where I was my father before.” I continued to think out loud to my empty room. Well empty except for myself.

The dream was weird; I couldn’t understand why I was seeing this dream through my father’s eyes. Then it hit me, could this be an actual memory that I was having of my father, right before he went off to fight Ultron and I was taken here to this planet? I realized there was only one person who could tell me whether this was a real memory or not. I looked at my clock to see what time it was and noticed that it was way too early to wake Tony.

I laid back down and tried to see about going back to sleep but then I realized another familiar wetness. Once again, I had wet my bed! Also, from the feel of it, I soaked it!

“Damn!” I swore out loud.

I was now debating on getting up and getting cleaned up or just allowing myself to go back to sleep as I was and deal with me and my wet bed in the morning. Again, I gave a look at my clock. It was barely after 3am in the morning and I figured that it would take about an hour for me to get the bed changed and cleaned up.

“God, why does this have to keep happening to me?” I asked my empty room.

I knew I could easily go back to sleep in my wet bed as I was still quite tired, but I also knew that my sleep would not be as good and I would probably once again wake up late and grumpy if I did this. I also knew that if I got up and took care of everything, that I would probably end up waking myself up to the point of not being able to go back to sleep.

As I laid there in my bed debating this, I felt myself starting to fall back to sleep. “No!” I shook my head to clear it. “I need to get up! Only a baby would lie in his own pissy bed and not care!” I angrily told myself.

Still, my mind was tired and so I tried to search it for a compromise. That is when it hit me, “That’s right, I can go sleep with Pym and take care of all of this in the morning.” I thought happily to myself.

I knew that because Pym still wet his bed that it, like mine, was still protected. Also, I knew Pym would never get mad at me if I peed on him and his bed.

With my mind made up, I got out of my bed and stripped out of my wet things and grabbed a towel to try and dry all the sweat and pee from my body. Then quietly, I made my way down to Pym’s room. Suddenly I found myself hoping that Pym hadn’t wet his bed as well!

Since I hadn’t bothered to put on any clothes, I made my way down the hallway stark naked. You know, I was weird about some things. I would absolutely die if any of the others were to see me in a diaper, but I didn’t care if they saw me nude. Us brothers saw each other nude quite a bit, there has also been a few times when Torunn has saw me naked as well.

When I made it to Pym’s room; I quietly opened his door. I did this as I didn’t want to wake him. Just as quietly as I opened it, I shut it and then made my way over to Pym’s bed.

Since my eyes had adjusted, I was able to see Pym sleeping on his side. He looked so cute and peaceful sucking on his thumb which out of habit, he still did.

Carefully I pulled back his covers and checked Pym’s bed for wetness. As my hand made it over the dry bedding, I became more relaxed, than just as careful as I was with pulling back his covers, I climbed into bed with him. I too laid on my side, choosing to lay so that I was looking right into his sleeping face. I couldn’t help smiling as I once again realized how cute he was, sleeping with his thumb in his mouth.

As I was starting to fall back to sleep it hit me that I should have stopped at the bathroom before getting into bed with Pym. By now though, I was almost asleep and comfortable and I just didn’t care, besides my bladder seemed fine I thought, as I fell asleep and back to my nightmare of the last minutes of my parents’ lives!

Chapter Text

“James, wake up!” I heard a voice filter through the blackness of my mind. “Come on James, wake up will you!” The voice demanded again.

A part of me thought I recognized the voice but I was too tired to place it. All I wanted was to sleep and forget about the voice. The trouble was, whoever was trying to get me to wake up, wasn’t about to let me do so.

“James, please wake up!”

This time I opened 1 eye a slight crack and saw Pym lying under the covers next to me and staring at me hesitantly. My mind was still asleep and so I wasn’t able to understand why Pym was laying in my bed and trying to wake me up.

“Pym, please leave me alone and go back to your own bed.” I said and immediately reclosed my eye and started to once again, fall back to sleep.

“But this is my bed!” Pym replied.

I opened both eyes this time and studied Pym in the almost complete darkness. I was trying to understand what was going on. As I became more awake and aware of the things around me, I remembered waking up earlier that night and then going to sleep with the smaller boy. Still, I was confused as to why he was waking me up.

“I am sorry Pym; I forgot that I got in bed with you.” I apologized. “What’s wrong?”

“I had an accident.”

“Oh!” I said as I reached a hand out to see how wet he was.

My hand brushed over the front of his pajama bottoms and his hard willy. For a moment I felt something stir in my own when I had momentarily touched Pym’s. I then moved my hand to the area of the bed underneath and around his butt.

It turned out that he wasn’t too wet and only had a small wet spot underneath him. I sighed then looked towards the alarm clock and saw that I had only been asleep for about an hour, since I crawled into bed with Pym. I really didn’t want to have to get up and deal with bedding now as I was sure it would wake me up and I wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep.

“Hey Pym, it really isn’t that bad, do you think you could go back to sleep or do you want to get up and change the bedding?” Now I know I should have tried not to convince him to just sleep in his wet spot, but still, I was too tired and therefore selfish.

“I guess I can sleep, but I still have to pee! I woke up peeing and stopped myself before I was done.” Pym explained, which by the way did explain why he wasn’t too wet.

“Well get up and go finish in the toilet?” I suggested as I once again closed my eyes.

“But I can’t get up!” Pym whined. “You are lying on my arm!”

My eyes popped back open and once again I took inventory of my senses and realized that I was indeed lying on top of Pym’s arm.

“Sorry Pym.” I said apologetically. “I didn’t realize it.” I mumbled as I lifted myself off his arm.

“Dang, it’s dead!” Pym whined, as I watched him flop his limp rubbery arm around, trying to wake it up.

I couldn’t help myself and started to laugh at his antics.

He at first didn’t seem to see it as being funny but I guess with how tired and late it was, he quickly found himself giggling along with me. Pym covered his mouth with his limp arm, holding it in place with his other one, trying his best to stifle his giggles.

“Uh oh!” Pym said suddenly. He dropped his limp arm and shot his good arm underneath the blankets.

It didn’t take long for me to find out what had happened, as I felt a trickle, then a stream of wetness, make its way down to me. Because I was heavier than my younger brother, his pee that was escaping through his clamped hand was making its way down to, and puddling underneath me.

All the laughter now out of Pym, he started to quietly sob as his bladder emptied itself uncontrollably in his bed. Trying to make him feel better I pulled him closer to me; pressing our bodies tightly together. Because of our closeness, I was able to feel his pee flow through his soggy pajamas and over my naked groin. For some reason beyond my understanding, I felt a thrill, as I felt him empty his bladder all over me. I didn’t understand it, but I felt my own willy get hard and start to feel better than it has ever before. While enjoying the incredible feeling I was having, I also tried to comfort Pym and make him feel better.

“Hey buddy, don’t worry! You know, I soaked my bed earlier. So, don’t feel bad.” I said trying to comfort him.

“But I got my pee all over you.” Pym hiccupped, while trying to rub the tears away from his eyes.

“Well, I can fix that!” I whispered devilishly.

I could tell that my bladder also needed to be emptied and probably would have done so, if Pym hadn’t awakened me. So, without any warning to him, I emptied my own bladder while our bodies were still tightly pressed together, making sure it emptied itself all over Pym’s crotch area. I was also hoping to return the good feeling that Pym had given me as he had peed on me.

“You… you are peeing on me!” Pym announced in shock.

I laughed, “Well you peed on me first; I figured I would just return the favor!”

And like that, Pym was once again laughing and for the next few minutes we just quietly hugged each other tightly and laughed at our stupid bathroom jokes. Eventually though, we started to come back to our reality. Both of us and Pym’s bed, was soaked and needed to be changed.

“I guess we should get up and change the bed.” I announced regretfully.

To be honest, I was having a thrill that I never had before. The idea of me lying there in Pym’s and my own pee, thrilled me like nothing else. Now this wasn’t the first time I had ever been peed on, but it was the first time I ever had the feelings I was experiencing now. I also had a strong urge to touch my willy and play with it! It was so stiff though; I was afraid it might break!

Even though I knew we had to get up, I hesitated. Instead, I waited for Pym to make the first move but when he too hesitated, I couldn’t help wondering if he was experiencing the same feelings I was. So, we both laid there quietly; neither one of us speaking.

Finally, starting to go nuts, I broke the silence between us. “A penny for your thoughts?”

Pym looked at me for a second (By the way, for those who are wondering; Pym has a nightlight in his room, which is why we were able to see each other so good. This of course doesn’t make sense as Pym could glow and become his own nightlight.) before saying anything. “Hey James…” He started to ask. “…would you think me strange if I told you something weird?” He finally asked.

“Hell no! You can tell me anything. Besides, you’re my brother and I already think you’re weird.” I smiled at him as I said this.

Pym returned my smile, with a big toothy grin of his own. “Well, I don’t know how to explain it but…”

At this, I couldn’t help feeling that he had indeed had the same feeling I had when we peed on each other. Still, I wanted to make sure, so I didn’t interrupt him.

“You know, when you peed on me?”

I just stared at him as he asked this and nodded my head slightly.

“Well, I got this really good feeling in my wiener when you peed on me.”

Again, I nodded my head.

“Did you get that feeling when I peed on you?” He asked looking a little worried that I might change my mind and think him weird after all.

I thought about how to answer this before finally deciding it was best to be as open and honest about it as I could. “Yeah, it felt really good and funny, didn’t it?” I answered.

“Yeah, it did. Why did my wiener have this feeling?”

I wasn’t sure how to answer Pym on this as I truly didn’t know the answer myself. In the end, I kept with the honesty thing. “Pym, I wish I knew! I just know it felt really good and made me want to touch my wiener and play with it. I used the name that Pym used for his willy in order not to confuse him. Did it make you want to do that?” I asked him.

Pym grinned again before saying, “Yeah, that is exactly how I felt!”

For the next several minutes we laid there in silence, each reliving the awesome feeling we had just experienced. At some point, we must have fallen back to sleep as we didn’t wake again, until the next morning.

Chapter Text

“Shhh, don’t wake them.”

“Don’t thee both look so sweet?”

“They may look sweet, but they certainly don’t smell sweet! They both stink!”

“I will never understand thee boys!”

“What’s there not to understand?”

“Thee love to fart and boast but thee complain about something that doesn’t stink anywhere near as bad as thee farts do!”

“Shh, Torunn, you’re talking to loud! You are going to wake them. I want to give James the shock of his life!”

At hearing this last thing, I opened my eyes and gave both Azari and Torunn a stern look. “If you do, it will be the last thing you ever do!” I growled.

“See, you woke him up! You and all your thee’s!” Azari waved his arms in frustration.

“Correction, you both woke me up.” I informed him as I yawned and pried off Pym’s arms, which were tightly wrapped around me.

Now free, I propped myself up and looked at the alarm clock. The digital read out showed that it was just after 7am. I groaned and buried my face back into the pillow.

“Dang it, why did you wake me up so damn early?” I asked through my pillow which slightly muffled my voice.

“What was that?” Torunn asked.

I lifted my head again and stared at them angrily. “Go away!”

“How can thee sleep so, in such a wet bed?” Torunn asked curiously.

“Easily!” I stated and buried my head in the pillow once again.

I tried to go back to sleep but I could feel 2 pairs of eyes staring at me. I groaned and once again lifted my head. “Please, can I just get another hour of sleep?” I begged.

I was about to bury my head in my pillow again, when a new voice came from the doorway of Pym’s room. “James, get up. Unless you want me to treat you like a little kid again, I mean, only a little kid would lay in his own pissy bed!” Tony commanded loudly.

Amazingly through all of this, Pym slept soundly; laying there in slumber and sucking his thumb. It wasn’t until Tony spoke that he finally stirred.

“Good morning, Tony.” Pym smiled as he sat up and yawned. “I wet my bed last night.” He informed Tony while rubbing the sleep away from his eyes.

“Trust me, I can tell that from all the way over here. From the smell and looks of it, you weren’t the only one to wet.” Tony stated as he waved a hand in front of his nose jokingly.

Pym smiled really big and then stuck a finger in my ribs. “He peed on me last night!”

I felt betrayed and also felt the need to defend myself. “He peed on me first!” I stated defensively.

“Trust me, I can tell. Why don’t you boys get in the shower and I will take care of your wet things?” Tony offered.

“Okay Tony, but I have to also get my wet things of my own bed as well.” I said as I got out of Pym’s soaked bed.

From the look of things (How wet the bed was that is.), I knew that I or maybe even both me and Pym, had wet again during the night.

“Don’t worry about that, your brother took care of it already.” Tony informed me.

“Yeah, you owe me big!” Azari grinned.

I smiled, “Okay, I will take care of your bedding the next time you wet your bed.” I laughed.

“Yeah! Like that will ever happen!” Azari growled.

“What? That I won’t take care of your bedding?” I laughed again.

“You booger, you know what I meant!” Azari growled again.

I just laughed my ass off. I guess my laughter was contagious as everyone else started to laugh as well. Soon after a little more prodding, Pym and I was heading for our shower, to save time we decided to shower together.

Before we left Pym’s room, he had stripped his wet pajamas off and gave them to Tony. Since I was already naked, I just waited for Pym to get undressed and then we headed for the bathroom.

As I was getting the temperature just right for the shower, Pym had become silent. From the look on his face, I could tell that he seemed to be having a troubling thought.

“Hey James?”

“Yes.”

“You remember last night, right?” He asked with a little fear in his voice.

“Of course, it was great!” I answered him.

“I know but…” Again, I could tell that he looked a little scared. “…could you keep what happened between us and not tell the others.”

I smiled and assured him that I wouldn’t. “Of course! I promise I won’t tell a soul!”

The water temperature had reached the preferred setting and I stepped into the shower, making room for Pym to follow me.

As I wetted my body down, I again reassured Pym that what we did last night; would remain between us. He seemed to feel a lot better once he was sure that I wasn’t going to blab.

I had really enjoyed the good feelings I had last night, but now I found myself starting to worry a little. Did Pym feel the same way as I did, about what happened between us, last night? Was he having second thoughts?

“You don’t regret what we did last night, do you?” I asked him as we changed places and he wetted his own body down; washing away all of our combined pee from his body.

“No, I loved it, but I just don’t want the others to think I was weird is all.” He explained. “Hey, how about we take turns washing each other?” He suggested.

Pym’s suggestion excited me in a way that I could not explain. Once again, I felt the now familiar tingle in my willy. Again, it stiffened and became so hard that it actually hurt.

“Look your wiener is getting big!” Pym sounded amazed as he pointed to my stiff willy.

It turned out that mine wasn’t the only one getting hard. I watched in amazement as Pym’s own small willy grew in size and stiffened. It turned out that we were both about the same size hard, a little over an inch maybe even an inch and a half. Like last night, I again felt a strong urge to touch my willy; this time though, I chose to succumb to that strong urge.

If I had thought that the awesome good feeling I was having, couldn’t get any better, I would have been wrong. As soon as I touched my sensitive stiff little willy, I felt that feeling explode over me in a good way. For a moment, I even thought that there was a good possibility of me passing out as this feeling overtook every one of my senses and over loaded them with this incredible feeling!

“James, are you okay?” Pym asked worriedly.

I guess he had mistaken my facial expressions and thought I had hurt myself instead of experiencing the great feeling that I was having at that moment! Instead of answering Pym though, I started to gently stroke my willy, feeling the full length of the stiff little shaft. With this came wave after wave of this great tingly feeling which only encouraged me to continue and even pick up the pace my hand was setting.

“James…?” Pym asked, still worried that I might be hurting myself.

“Pym…” I breathed heavily. “…you need to try this!”

When Pym hesitated, I came to the conclusion that if he wouldn’t do it himself, then I would have to do it for him! So, with my other hand, I reached over and started to stroke Pym’s willy while still continuing to stroke my own. When Pym didn’t stop me, I took it as his way of saying yes and continued to rub both of our willies, until I felt a sudden urge and need to pee. Not understanding what was about to happen, I stopped playing with mine and Pym’s willies.

“Why did you stop James? That felt awesome!”

“I thought I was going to pee all over everything if I continued.” I responded.

“Well, we are in the shower so that wouldn’t have mattered if you had.” Pym reminded me. “Come on, can you do me again?”

“I don’t know Pym, maybe we should just get our shower done for now. We can always play around again later tonight.”

I guess you could say I was still a little worried as I didn’t understand the feelings I was having. So, for now, I felt it was best to stop and make sure I hadn’t broken anything. I figured that if by tonight I was still okay, that I would try again. For the time being though, it would give me a chance to make sure I was okay.

Even though I decided to wait until later to rub my willy again. I did pay a lot of attention to Pym’s willy while I was washing him. I could tell he had been enjoying it as well because his willy had once again gotten hard as a rock. When it was Pym’s turn to wash me, he made sure to spend a good amount of time washing my willy as well.

Before we were done with our shower, dried off, and on our way to our own rooms to get dressed for the day; Pym and I agreed to get together in my room after everyone else was asleep. For the rest of that day, I found myself thinking about our planned get together for that evening and because of this, I stayed stiff and hard, throughout the whole day!

Chapter Text

Throughout the morning my mind was stuck on the earlier events between Pym and myself. Something that Pym had said was starting to bother me. He wanted to know if he was weird for liking the stuff we did together. Ever since he asked this question, I have been wondering the same thing about myself. “Was I weird for liking what we did?”

“James? Are thee okay?” I heard a faraway voice ask.

It took Azari, snapping his electrified fingers in front of my face before I realized that everyone was staring at me. I looked over at Pym and he gave me a concerned but knowing look.

“James, are thee okay?” Torunn repeated worriedly.

“Yeah, I’m okay. I just have a lot on my mind is all.” I explained, hoping that they would not push it further.

“Well, you certainly are not paying attention! I took you down twice with the same move and you didn’t even seem to notice!” Azari informed me.

He was right; my mind just wasn’t on practice today.

“I’m sorry, why don’t we call it a day guys.” I suggested.

“I don’t know, Tony may get upset if we do that.” Azari said with uncertainty in his voice.

“Don’t worry; I will take the heat if he does get upset.”

I was sure that Tony would understand if I just explain to him, I was still having trouble with the stuff we talked about yesterday. Thinking about our talk from yesterday, something started to nag me. It took me a few minutes before I was able to figure out what it was. That is when I realized that I completely forgot to ask Tony about the possible communication he received. “Well, they say there is no better time than the present when it comes to asking people something.” I thought to myself.

“Hey guys, I’ll see you later at lunch! I need to go and see Tony.” I shouted out as I took off for Tony’s workshop.

Tony didn’t like us running inside but that didn’t stop me as I ran inside and continued to run all the way to his workshop. Because of this it didn’t take me very long at all to reach my intended destination. Now came the hard part, trying to get Tony’s attention and let him know I was there. Unlike yesterday, he wasn’t expecting me today. As far as he knew, I was supposed to still be at practice right now. I was positive that Tony wouldn’t be upset at all that I ended practice early. Besides, he was the one who told me that I could come to him and talk about my problems. I was really bothered with the thought of being weird and knew that Tony could help me with this.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have no intention of breaking the promise I made to Pym, but I never promised him that I wouldn’t ask Tony about myself. I figured as long as I keep Pym out of it completely, that it would be okay to bring these weird feelings up with Tony. Also, I was hoping to get him talking and maybe if I slip the question about the communication in there somewhere, he might actually tell me. Or at least I hoped he would.

Since he was not expecting me, it was harder than ever to get his attention. It took several times pushing the door chime before Tony realized I was there and let me inside.

“Hello James, so what do I owe for this unexpected visit today?” Tony asked with a smile as I walked over to his desk.

I could see that he was still working on his new invention and even though I was still curious as to what it was, I decided it could wait until next time as I had other more important things on my mind.

“Morning Tony!” I said jubilantly.

Tony smiled at me as he ruffled my hair. “Good morning to you too, James.”

I sat down in the chair next to him, the same one I sat in yesterday. Now there, I found myself having a hard time bringing up what I wanted to talk to Tony about. A part of me started to wonder and second guess myself about even talking to Tony about this. I wasn’t even sure where to begin and I had to find a way to talk about it without bringing Pym into the conversation; as I had promised him that I would tell no one about what we did. I also had to find a way to slip in the question about the communication he received yesterday.

I didn’t realize how long I had been sitting there thinking to myself; that is until Tony broke the silence. “So, practice over already?” He asked.

“Huh… um… well no. I mean… I ended it early.” I then tried to explain why. “My mind was having trouble staying focused this morning.”

“So, you have some things on your mind then?” Tony asked with complete seriousness.

“Yeah,” I answered with relief.

Tony waited patiently as I tried to organize my thoughts and ask him the questions that were on my mind. I wanted to make sure I didn’t say anything that would implicate Pym or what we did last night and again early this morning in the shower.

“Tony, you were a kid once? Right?”

I don’t know why I asked this stupid question; of course, he was a kid once. It was a long time ago but he like everyone else was a kid at one time.

Tony just chuckled.

“What I meant is that, did you ever feel or do something or for that matter want to do something, that made you feel weird?”

Tony didn’t answer right away; instead, he thought carefully about his answer before responding to my question.

“You know James; I think as kids we all think we are weird at times. Is there something specific you want to ask me?”

I thought for a moment and almost decided not to ask Tony before blurting out the question I had on my mind. “Tony, am I weird if I get this really good feeling in my willy? Is there something wrong with it? It gets so hard and even hurts because of it.”

Tony chuckled a little before answering me. “He-he-he! I am sorry James; I guess that was the last thing I expected you to ask. To answer your question, no you are not weird. What you are experiencing is perfectly normal for a boy your age.” Then, as if he were talking to himself, he added, “I should have seen this coming. I guess I really do keep forgetting that you are getting older. I guess it is time to tell you about ‘The Birds and The Bees’.”

This last statement confused me quite a bit. For the life of me, I had no idea what the birds and the bees had to do with being weird and having a funny feeling in my willy.

I guess Tony could see my confusion as he explained, “I doesn’t mean what you think.” Tony tried to explain. “When I say ‘The Birds and The Bees’ I am not talking about actual birds and bees. What I am talking about is secret code for ‘time to talk about sex’.”

I was still confused as I knew all about sex already and didn’t understand what it had to do with me being weird or my willy getting hard. Well, at least I thought I did.

“But Tony, I know all about sex already. You already taught us about sex, remember. I am a human male just like you, Azari, and Pym. Torunn is a female Asgardian. Males have outies (Willies) and females have innies (Foof).”

Tony smiled again which caused me to feel like he was making fun of me. “I am sorry James. I am not laughing at you. Anyway, what I meant was not about the type of sex, but about sex.”

Seeing the confusion still in my face, Tony further explained what he meant. So, for the next couple hours, Tony gave me my first ‘real’ course in ‘Sex Education 101’. When he was done, I was more versed in sex then I knew even existed. I also understood what the good tingling I had been feeling earlier was. For instance, when I thought, I was going to pee, I found out that what I was about to experience was my very first orgasm. Through the whole talk with Tony, I kept my promise to Pym and never once did I break that promise. Also, the things that Tony taught me sounded interesting and I really was looking forward to some private time later on that day so I could try some of it out.

I must have been lost in my thoughts because Tony had started to snap his fingers in front of my face to break me out of my trance. “I’m sorry Tony; I just have a lot on my mind.” I tried to explain.

“Don’t worry about it. I just wanted to know if you thought anymore on what we talked about yesterday?” Tony asked.

It took me a moment to recall what he was speaking about but when I did, I found the idea of Diapers didn’t sound so bad today. In fact, I could tell that my willy liked the idea completely. Now seriously considering it, I was curious as to where we would even get diapers that fit me. It turned out though, that it wouldn’t be a problem at all. Tony explained (and later showed me) that he had a storeroom filled with diapers that he was sure would fit me, and even if I managed to go through all of those, he was sure he could make some cloth diapers for me.

With Tony’s help, after locating where the diapers were stored at, we took several packages of diapers down to my room and put them into my closet. We also put some into Pym’s closet as well. By the way, I was shocked at the amount of stuff that was in the storeroom. I figured there was no way we would ever use all of that stuff. I guess Tony really liked being prepared.

We had just finished putting a few of the packages of diapers into Pym’s closet when I remembered that I hadn’t yet asked about the possible communication that Tony had received yesterday.

“Hey Tony, yesterday while we were training you suddenly left in a hurry. Pym told us that he thought it looked like you got a communication from someone.”

“Well Pym was correct; I did receive a sort of communication.”

Hearing this sent a million random thoughts through my head. “Who was it from? Are we going back to Earth? Did someone finally defeat Ultron?” I sputtered quickly as each of the questions came to my mind.

“Calm down James, I plan on telling you and your brothers and sister tomorrow. I am still trying to figure out a few things before I do so. Please be patient and you will find out soon enough. Okay buddy?”

I nodded my head in response. Still though, I was full of anticipation. I was more than ever curious as to what the communication was and who from. I knew it was a long shot, but I couldn’t help wishing that maybe… just maybe… my mom and dad were still alive. Of course, later I would remind myself that if they were indeed alive still, they would have contacted me or at least Tony years ago. Knowing that Tony would not tell me anything else for now, I just told myself to be patient, I would have the answer tomorrow.

“Okay, how about we go and get lunch.” Tony suggested.

We walked to the dining room together; both of us remained silent the whole way. Tony was probably thinking about his invention again and my thoughts were on the diapers and the good feeling it was giving my willy which was growing stiff inside my pants. I couldn’t wait to tell Pym what I had learned!

Chapter Text

The day seemed to drag on and on. I found myself having as much difficulty paying attention to my school work as I had that morning to our practice. In fact, I had been spacing out so much that TERU, (Teaching Education Robotic Unit) our android teacher that Tony built to school us, had gotten on my case many times that afternoon.

“James! Once again, I find myself demanding your attention!” TERU declared in an eerily woman like voice.

“I am sorry. I just have a lot on my mind.” I sighed.

“Well, I guess we are not going to get anything else accomplished here today!” TERU declared. TERU was so lifelike that it was hard to think of her as a robot.

Tony had not only programed all of her knowledge into her, but also gave her the ability to feel and express human emotion. He didn’t stop there; he also developed an algorithm that allowed her the ability to learn new things. TERU was in every sense as close to human as she could be. I knew she was a robot, a very advanced robot, but I found it hard sometimes seeing her as that when she seemed so humanlike.

“I want you all more focused tomorrow.” TERU instructed us, though I was sure it was meant for me. And as if she could read my thoughts, she looked straight at me. Feeling a little uneasy, I nodded my head in acknowledgement.

With that, TERU finally dismissed us for the day. “Class dismissed.”

“Finally!” I thought to myself as I gathered my things up to take back to my room.

With school out of the way early, we had a few hours before dinner time to kill. The extra time allowed us some time for ourselves. Torunn decided to use the time for meditation, she felt that this was her way at being close to her father. Azari asked me and Pym if we wanted to join him in the game room and Pym was only too happy to say yes, before I could stop him. Really wanting to talk to Pym alone since we had the time, I did some quick thinking!

“Pym, you promised to help me with my project!”

“What project?” Pym asked in confusion.

“You know that special project you told me that you would help me with when we next had a chance to work on it.” I said, hoping that he could read the pleading in my eyes.

Pym looked at me with confusion still in his eyes before finally coming to an understanding that I wanted to talk to him privately.

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that.” Pym answered. He then looked over at Azari whom I was sure was trying to figure out what was going on. “Sorry Azari, I did tell James that I would help him.”

Azari gave me a look that I was sure said, “You’re up to something!” before saying, “alright, your loss.” And with that he took off towards the game room.

Once Azari had disappeared around a corner, Pym looked at me and demanded, “Okay now, what’s up!”

“Shhhhh” I said as I put my finger up in front of my nose. “Not here, let’s go back to my room.” Then I grabbed his hand before he could argue and half dragged him all the way back to my room.

Once we were inside my room with the door closed, Pym turned on me and demanded to know what in the world was going on.

“I am sorry Pym, but I needed to talk to you about that stuff we did this morning and what I found out about it with Tony…”

Before I could even finish what I was saying, Pym interrupted me. “YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN’T TELL ANYONE!” Pym screamed at me.

“Pym, calm down and let me finish. I kept my promise to you and never once mentioned you while talking to Tony. I also didn’t tell him what we did this morning. I just asked him about why my willy was always getting hard.” I tried to quickly explain.

“You promise?” Pym asked reluctantly.

“I promise Pym, I have not told anyone about us and what we did this morning!” I promised him.

“Okay, but please keep our secret. I am just not ready yet to tell anyone. I really want to understand everything myself before I tell anyone else, also I am sorry that I jumped to conclusions.” He apologized.

Pym seemed to calm down after I reassured him that his secret was safe and now seemed interested in what I learned. I told him everything that Tony had told me this morning about the ‘Birds and the Bees’. He too didn’t understand why they would call it that, so we both decided it was because it made adults feel better to call it that rather than call it sex.

After I told Pym everything that Tony had told me earlier that day, I could see how excited he was at possibly trying out some of the things.

“Can we play with each other’s wieners instead of our own?” Pym asked. “I liked it a lot when you touched mine. Did you like it when I touched yours?” He hammered me with one question after another, not allowing me a chance to answer the first one before asking the next one and so on.

I smiled and nodded my head. I had enjoyed it quite a bit and knew I would prefer jacking off Pym’s wiener instead of my own.

“Can we do it now?” Pym begged.

“How about we plan on doing it tonight after everyone is asleep.” I suggested. “Anyway, I have something to show you.”

At this, I walked over to my closet and opened the door to reveal the packages of diapers that Tony and I had put in there earlier today. I looked at Pym and tried to figure out what he was thinking, but I found it hard due to the look that was on his face. I was starting to wonder if I should have left this part to myself, but then I remembered that he would find out sooner or later, so maybe it was better to let him know now.

Finally, Pym looked at me and I could tell that he was having a hard time trying to figure out what to say.

“So, you asked Tony to wear diapers?”

“No, Tony proposed the idea yesterday and I agreed to it today.”

“I see. So, do they fit you?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t tried one on yet. Tony must think they will though.” So far, this reveal wasn’t going the way I thought it would. It almost seemed that Pym was against the idea, of course that was my paranoia taking over.

“You don’t think I am a baby if I wear diapers to bed, do you?” My voice quavered with worry.

I watched every facial twitch on Pym’s face, looking for anything that would show that he didn’t think wearing diapers to bed would make me a baby. As I stared at him it seemed as if time had come to a screeching halt as I awaited his response to my question in fear. In reality, only a couple seconds went by before Pym answered me.

He didn’t say anything for several seconds and I found that my heart beat started to increase as the fear built inside of me. When he finally did say something, I found myself saved from a quickly approaching heart attack.

“No, I don’t think it would make you a baby. In fact, I myself have considered asking Tony if I could wear diapers so that I wouldn’t have to sleep in a wet bed.”

Something was bugging me with Pym’s answer, then it hit me. “You knew that Tony had diapers?” I asked stunned.

“Of course, I did! What do you think we wore when we were still babies?” He asked as if he couldn’t believe that I could be that dumb.

“I guess I just never thought about it before.” I replied. I then remembered that Tony had also put some in Pym’s closet as well. “You don’t have to ask Tony, he went ahead and put some in your closet as well.”

“Really!” He then took off like a bat towards his own room.

I ran behind him, following him all the way to his own room. I couldn’t believe how excited he looked as he ripped open his closet doors and found his own supply of diapers.

“Cool!” Pym Shouted then smiled at me. “Now we can be diaper buddies!” He shouted enthusiastically.

I wasn’t sure if I would go that far with it but I was happy to see that Pym was also excited about wearing diapers. If you had asked me yesterday if I would get excited at the thought of wearing diapers, I would have said a definite NO! But now I was finding myself excited over the thought of wearing a diaper. I could see the excitement build in Pym and I was sure that at any moment it was going to bubble over and out of control.

“Pym, calm down! You look like you’re about ready to shoot off like a rocket ship!” I laughed. “We will have plenty of time later to try the things we want to try.”

With that said, we quietly discussed some of the things we were going to do later that night after everyone else was asleep. We talked and planned all the way to dinner time and when Azari knocked on the door to let us know what time it was, I was amazed that so much time had gone by already. We had been so excited about our plans that time actually slipped through our fingers as if it were grains of sand. We decided that after dinner we would just go ahead and do our normal things but after everyone was asleep, Pym would come to my room where we would try all of the things we had decided on. There was one problem though that neither of us even considered, we didn’t factor in the fact that neither one of us knew how to put on a diaper!

Chapter Text

“So, James, what is the project that you and Pym are working on?” Azari asked curiously as we were eating our dinner.

The question must have piqued some interest for Tony as he looked over towards us. “I didn’t realize that you and Pym were working on a project. Is this something for your schooling?”

“Muh-uh” Pym said with his mouthful. “James just wanted my help to make his shield better.” This was the lie we had come up with in case anyone started to question us about it.

“Now guys, I really don’t want you messing with the shield without my supervision. I know you’re smart Pym, but the shield is a bit beyond you at this moment. I would be more than happy though to join you sometime this week and help you out with it.” Tony offered us. “Out of curiosity, were you able to boost the shield power at all?”

“No, like you said, I was having trouble figuring it out, so we spent the time looking over its schematics in the database.” At this the subject was dropped and the talk went on to other mundane stuff that neither me nor Pym were interested in.

So far, the plan was working, now no one will be wondering what we were doing and we don’t even have to show anything for our time. And we could continue under the guise of going over the schematics without worry. I was pretty sure that neither Azari nor Torunn would want to get involved so it was sure to give us time alone without the other two bothering us.

After dinner we all watched a movie together, even Tony joined us. It almost felt like it did when we were younger and Tony spent more time with us. Now I am not saying that Tony doesn’t spend time with us. I am just saying that he spends a lot of his time alone in his workshop these days. So, him spending all this time with us this evening was really nice but also out of the ordinary and it made me wonder why he suddenly was spending the time with us. My mind kept going back to the so-called communication and Tony’s reluctance to say anything about it, at least for now. Something told me that the one thing was related to the other, still I didn’t look a gift horse in the mouth; I just allowed myself to enjoy the time together.

When the movie was over, he stayed and watched another one with us, by the time that movie was over with he told us to go get ready for bed.

“Hey Tony, can you tell us a story tonight?” Azari asked as he got up from his chair.

“I will tell you what, if the 4 of you don’t fiddle fart around and get ready for bed like I ask, I will meet you all back here in 10 minutes and will tell you a story.” Tony offered.

At this, I didn’t waste time. I quickly made my way to my room and got out a clean pair of pajamas and was starting to get undress when Tony appeared in my doorway.

“James, is it all right for me to come in?” Tony politely asked me.

“Sure, it’s fine with me.” And continued to get undressed.

As I pulled of my jeans, I watch Tony make his way over to my bed and sit down. I wasn’t quite sure why Tony was here and he didn’t bother saying anything. It was as if he expected me to start the conversation, but I had no idea what to say. I was now down to my underwear when I was about to step into my pajama bottoms; it was at this moment that Tony decided to break the silence.

“Are you forgetting something?” Tony asked me.

“Huh? What do you mean?” I asked in confusion.

“I just thought you were going to try wearing a diaper tonight.”

“Oh yah! I forgot about that.”

I dropped my pajama bottoms on the floor and went to my closet and grabbed a diaper from it. I took it over to my bed next to Tony and opened it up so that I could figure out how to put it on. It was now that I truly realized why Tony was here, I did not have a clue on how to put the diaper on me.

“Uh… Tony… I… I mean can you, help me with this?” Tony smiled warmly as my face turned bright red with embarrassment. When I had agreed to this, I never for a moment took the time to think about putting the diaper on. Luckily Tony knew what I was referring to, leaving me a chance to regain some of my dignity by not having to ask again.

Tony took the diaper from me and opened it up on my bed. “Okay buddy, I need you to take off your underwear and then plant your butt right here.” Tony patted the part of the diaper he wanted me to put my butt on.

Once I was positioned where he wanted me, Tony then pulled the front of the diaper snugly between my legs and covered my quickly hardening willy. He then taped both sides so that the diaper was on nice and tight. Once he was done, Tony patted the front of my diaper and smiled.

“Boy you are so cute in your diaper there!” Tony continued to smile and stifled a bit of laughter that was trying to escape from him.

In response, I just gave him the evil eye which only made Tony smile even more.

“Okay, you finish getting ready for bed and I will go check on Pym and see if he needs some help as well.” I knew what Tony meant here, he was going to go and put a diaper on Pym as well.

As Tony got up to leave, I stopped him. “Thank you, Tony, for helping me. Do you think I will ever be able to put my own diaper on?” I am not even sure why I asked this question as I actually liked it when Tony diapered me. Maybe it was due to the fact that I thought it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t show some resistance. Like maybe he would think or should I say figure out that I really liked the idea of wearing diapers. I was sure that normal people didn’t feel the same way towards diapers that I was starting to feel. So, in order to deflect from the truth, I would act as normal as I am expected too.

“I am sure I can teach you how to put it on yourself. Do you want me to do that or would you prefer for me to put it on for now; oh, and don’t be worried about anything if you want me to do it as I would enjoy it.” Tony explained then left making his way I presumed to Pym’s room.

As Tony had promised, as soon as we were all ready for bed, he told us a story of our parents and how they took down the evil body doppelgangers, the Skrulls and saved the day. It was a story that we had heard before but we never grew tired of it.

“…So, the Hulk was taken into custody even though he didn’t do anything wrong. But after some time, Captain America was able to gain the Hulk’s freedom by presenting the facts to the President of the United States. Even though the General didn’t want to release him he did so under protest.”

“In actuality, it was Bruce Banner who was being held prisoner in a special cell that kept him from being able to turn into the Hulk. Something was apparently wrong though, and Captain America and Iron Man knew it right away. As soon as his bonds were loosened, Banner flew into a rage and turned into the Hulk. He then busted out of the super Hulk Buster facility that was built just to hold him. The Hulk was now on the run.”

Tony continued the story about the hulk and how he started to go on a rampage. He told us how the Red Hulk came to take the Hulk’s place on the Avengers. And he told us how it was the Red Hulk all along who had somehow implanted something into Banners brain while he was out. This thing when powered on made the Hulk lose all control over his emotions and thoughts. In the end though, the Avengers figured it out and were able to remove the implant in the Hulk’s brain and was able to capture the Red Hulk and stick him in the prison that the Hulk had escaped from earlier.

It was a good story but it had been a while since Tony had told us a story about the Hulk.

“Tony…”

“Yes James?”

“I was wondering, whatever happened to the Hulk?” I really wanted to know the answer to this as I never heard Tony speak of him as if he was dead. Instead, he always referred to him in the same manner as he did with Thor who was still alive even if he wasn’t in our realm currently.

“Well James, I honestly don’t know, but I tell you this, I doubt very much he is dead. Maybe one of these days we will find out whatever happened to him. But I truly think he is still alive. The Hulk is strong and probably the strongest of all of us.” And with that he changed the subject. “Okay kids, it’s time for bed.”

Chapter Text

I was not sure what time it was when I felt someone shake me awake. “Go away; leave me alone; I am tired.” I said through a yawn and fell back to sleep, though not for long.

“Pssst… James, wake up.” I heard a whispered voice.

Forcing an eye open I saw Pym staring back at me. “Pym? What are you doing here?” I asked as I was confused due to my tiredness.

“You told me to come remember?”

“Oh… That’s right.” I then looked at my clock and saw that it was now well after 4 in the morning. “I thought you would be here earlier.” I said as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

“Sorry, I fell asleep. I didn’t wake up until just a few minutes ago”

“Oh… I guess I did too.” I then let out a loud yawn.

“So is your diaper wet?”

I looked at Pym questionably as I was still not awake enough yet to figure what he was talking about. “Huh?”

“Is your diaper wet yet?” Pym repeated his question and when I didn’t answer quickly enough, he stuck his hand into my pajama bottoms and into my diaper. “Boy you’re soaked!”

“Soaked?” I repeated and then it hit me. “OH!”

“Shhhh! You want to wake everyone up?” He whispered in my ear. “If you want, I will take your diaper off. It’s not going to hold any more in it anyway.” I just nodded my head yes and allowed Pym to first remove my pajamas then I felt him rip the tabs of my diaper and as he pulled the front away from my pee-soaked skin, I felt a shiver as the cold air traveled over my wet willy.

I don’t know why, but for some reason, I hadn’t noticed yet that Pym was completely naked just as I was now. It wasn’t until he pulled the diaper from under my butt and proceeded to ball it up before I realized he was stark naked. I also noticed his stiff willy and reached out and touched it.

I saw a look of pure ecstasy appear on the smaller boy’s face as I stroked his stiff member. From what I could see, it must have taken tremendous willpower for him to push my hand away.

“Not yet. Move over.” Pym asked and as I made room for him, he got into bed with me. Both of us naked with our willies pointing straight up to the ceiling.

I sat up in my bed and since it was pushed against the wall, I sat in my bed with my back against the wall. Pym than sat next to me and I watched as he stroked his hard willy. I couldn’t stop myself; I just kept staring at Pym’s smooth hard member. Finally, I couldn’t wait any longer and reached down and pushed his hand away and took over the job of masturbating him. This time Pym didn’t stop me but allowed me to jack him off.

As I continued rub Pym's hard willy, he reached over and started to pump my own willy up and down. Almost immediately I started to get this feeling as if I was about to pee. Since this time, I knew what to expect, I didn't stop Pym stroking me or stop stroking him, which from the light glow coming off the boy I could tell that he too was starting to feel the good feeling. I was also sure that this was the case because of his hard breathing and also the fact that he was now thrusting his hips up and down, helping me jack him off.

"Oh god this feels awesome!" Pym moaned loudly.

I agreed; it sure did feel awesome. As the feeling of needing to pee grew in me, my body felt like it was about to take off in a rocket ship. Just as I had my first ever dry orgasm, Pym too had his own. There was only one difference between our orgasms though, as soon as my body was done convulsing in pleasure, my bladder spasmed and I really did start to pee.

“Oh shit!” I ended up startling Pym when I shouted out like I did.

“What… what happened?” Pym asked with obvious fear in his voice.

“I started to pee and I can’t stop it!” I almost started crying at my humiliation. It had been years since I last wet myself by accident while I was awake. To me this made me feel even more like a baby. A part of me even expected Pym to make fun of me but when he didn’t and instead said what he said, he really surprised me.

“Quick, lay down on top of me so that you are peeing on my stomach!” As Pym asked me to do this, he laid down on his back in my bed.

Somehow, I managed to stop my pee for a few seconds and was able to maneuver into place before I once again lost control. I do have to say this; it felt awesome, feeling my pee flow between us. As soon as I was drained, Pym took his turn and peed between us. His return flow felt awesome as it hit me in the belly button then puddling between us. Soon he too was dry, with nothing else to give.

Now both spent, we both started to yawn as tiredness washed over us. Even though there were many things we both still wanted to try, we fell asleep before we could do so. Not even my soaked bed could keep us awake. It was early morning still when we both awakened and realized that we literally had only about a half hour to clean-up before everyone else was awake. With Pym’s help, my bed was remade with clean bedding and the wet stuff was already in the wash. We even both took a shower together but because we only had a few more minutes left, we decided no fooling around. Besides we always had tonight, hopefully this time we would not fall asleep before everyone else does.

Now if this had been the only eventful thing to happen that day, I would have called it a great day. Unfortunately, the day brought forth something else. You know they say that ignorance can be bliss, and you know what? They are definitely right. None of us were ready for what Tony told us and I now know why he had such a hard time getting around to telling us.

It was at lunch time that Tony had surprised us by showing up and eating with us. As we finished lunch Tony looked calmly over the 4 of us before sighing heavily.

“Children, I am sorry but I have not been truthful with you.” Tony sighed again.

I couldn’t believe my ears, what did Tony lie to us about? Was it all a lie? I really didn’t believe it was all a lie, or maybe I should say ‘couldn’t believe’.

“What do mean Tony?” Azari asked the question we were all burning to ask. “Are you saying all the stuff you ever told us is a lie?”

“No, most of what I told you was true. Only one thing is false and I am afraid to tell you because I fear it will scare you too much.”

“Tony, we can take it!” I said as assuredly as I could. I wasn’t sure what he was going to tell us but what he did tell us was the last thing that I ever thought it would be.

“I know that you want to be strong James, but I fear you may not be strong enough.” Tony paused to let what he said sink in before continuing. “You see, after I had you board the spaceship, we were supposed to head towards a nearby star system where there was a moon where we could hide out from Ultron until either he was defeated or the four of you grew to age and were well trained enough to defeat him. Unfortunately, as we were making our jump to hyperspace, we were attacked and it caused a surge in the hyperdrive.”

Pym was the first who was able to see where Tony was going with this. “Tony, are you saying that we ended up somewhere else in the Galaxy?”

“I am afraid so Pym. In fact, we are nowhere near where we were supposed to be. Since the day we arrived here, I have been searching the stars with Vision’s help…” at this Tony was interrupted.

“Who is Vision?” I asked as I never remembered Tony speaking of him before.

“Vision is a member of the Avengers. He is a very sophisticated android with several abilities. He can become ghostlike and do several other things. Anyway, Vision has been doing long range correspondence with me but for some reason we have been out of contact now for the last 6 months. I have been working on some micro satellites that would boost the signal so that I can hopefully get a message to him but as you may already know I received a message the other day. It took me a while to unscramble the message, but it seems that Vision is in trouble. According to the message, he came across a spaceship and tried to hail it; instead, it attacked him and was able to somehow get past all of his defenses. Now from what I can tell, he is a few light years from here and I really need to go and find him and hopefully fix him.”

I again interrupted Tony. “Is this going to be our first mission?” I asked but became sullen when Tony shook his head.

“I am sorry James, but you are way too young still and I am not sure if whoever attacked Vision is still out there. So, I am going by myself, and I needed to tell you this before I left as there is always a possibility that I might not come back. Pym in case I don’t come back, I have left you detailed instructions on all the projects that I am working on. I have also charted out a lot of this part of space and hopefully it will help you someday locate Earth.”

“Tony how is thou'st going to get there?” Torunn asked him.

“Well, there is one last thing I haven’t told you all yet.” As Tony said this he stood up and metal parts suddenly came rushing into the dining area and attaching themselves onto Tony’s body. Soon he was covered in an Iron suit and that was when it hit me.

“You… You are… You are the Knight! You’re Iron Man, aren’t you?” I asked in astonishment.

“Must be the suit that gave me away.” At this Tony smiled.

“Still how are you going to travel several light years, Tony?” Pym asked as he would be the only one who would probably understand.

“Good question, I have built a brand-new power source that will enable the suit to enter hyperspace for a short period. It has yet to be tested so it is yet to be seen. Anyway, if everything goes as planned, I will be back in a few days, a week at tops.”

As soon as Tony gave us all our instructions, he wished us the best and told us that if he never made it back that he hopes for the best for us. With that he took off.

As I write this, Tony has been gone now for over 2 weeks and we are starting to worry. Shoot a few weeks ago, the worst thing I had to worry about was wetting my bed, but now I know that were not only lost in space, we also have lost Tony as well. Tomorrow will bring a new day for us, but it will also bring the hope that Tony will return to us.

The End
