Fates Altered-Avengers Moon/Lady

“...what?That’s...”Sue said sounding shocked at the idea, before she dropped the phone in startlement, before wincing. “...I’m coming over. Keep talking to me John, and go cuddle tony.”Sue ordered even as she pulled on her boots and headed for the door.

Alais smiled relaxing, relieved as he obeyed. “...Well. There had been rumors, but I didn’t know they’d actually did it. There was always a fear, that he’d become useless. To much time on ice, unstable...Thought they better have a backup.”Natasha muttered before nodding. “I’ll try.”she muttered frowning a little before looking at steve. “When I knew him, he understood things besides orders. But not english.Russian mostly.”
 
"...okay... okay." Johnny mumbled, moving over to snuggle Tony as Sue had ordered. the shock at the idea of being a clone had sent him straight into a sour space. it wasn't often this happened, not often at all and it was, surprisingly, Bruce who gathered Johnny into his arms and cradled him, comforting him and helping him straighten up back to the right mind. "Sue? what is it?" Reed asked, looking worried. "has Johnny caused an explosion again?"

"rumors!? they cloned Steve!?" James demanded, stunned before blinking. "i don't recall Steve knowing Russian." he admitted. "i don't know any Russian. can you ask him what he remembers? or, maybe what orders he has? i don't know..." James was thrown all off kilter because of poor Johnny and Steve had settled onto the couch behind Alais and gone to sleep. "well this has been a fun day." James groaned, rubbing his temples.
 
Tony smiled softly, gently stroking johnny’s hair as he moved closer, sighing softly, looking up at bruce, both men working to help johnny, worried about him. “No, but something happened with James and Tony, and I’m not sure, but...you know what?You’re the scientist. Come with me. Maybe you can make more sense of it then I did.”

“Yes.”Natasha winced a little. “I hadn’t wanted to say anything, since all I had was whispers. I never knew they actually managed to create a clone that survived infancy.”Natasha sighed softly before nodding a little. “As Steve he didn’t, but he was a blank slate as the Soldier. They taught him Russian, because that’s what they knew.”she said before nodding, “I’ll try when he wakes.”She said. “Well....how about you go get a room for sue and johnny, and steve?WE’re not going to figure out anymore today then we already know.”
 
"...well fuck." Reed said, reaching into the bedroom to grab his wallet and keys, following her. he blinked when he walked into the room that Johnny had been moved with Bruce and Tony and blinked at the snuggling going on. "oh man. i haven't seen him this bad in years..." Reed admitted, moving over to Johnny. "not since the accident." the Storm parents had both died when their car brakes failed and they fell into a river and drowned. "Johnny?" Reed asked, looking at him. "are you okay?" "yeah..."

"well if it was just whispers there was really no reason to look into it. people whisper about rumors all the time." James admitted. "usually the rumors are more than false." he admitted. "okay. so we just have to learn Russian." James sighed, looking at Tony. "you have Johnny?" he asked Tony, Bruce standing up with a mild wince. still inured but needing to take care of Johnny more than he wanted to be pain free. "come on, let's get Steve to bed." James decided, smiling at Alais. "Jarvis? which room did Tony assign Steve? and which one did he assign Alais?"
 
"Johnny?”Sue muttered moving over to him, looking at tony worried as she knelt down in front of him, gently stroking his hair softly, looking him over. “Me either.”Sue muttered looking worried. “I have you, Johnny.”Tony muttered gently stroking the man’s hair, worried up and upset and trying hard to not focus on what they’d found out, simply wanting to help johnny for the moment.

“Exactly. Which is why I hadn’t looked into it.”Natasha said relaxing some as she realized he understood why she hadn’t chased it down. Nodding a little. “I’ll help you. Better then the books anyways. You don’t keep the proper russian, you just need conversational russian....Jarvis can help to.”Natasha said watching bruce. “You okay?”she said looking worried about the man. “Sir gave them the rooms across from your own, Captain.”Which meant they were across the hall from tony, the closest he'd ever allowed anyone, close so he could watch over them easily.
 
Johnny looked up at her, eyes glassy but semi aware. Bruce and Tony had managed to get him nice and calm. he wasn't sitting in a very nice subspace but he wasn't about to do anything stupid or dangerous now. "Sue..." he mumbled, leaning into the hand and closing his eyes. trying desperately not to think of what he had learned, it was all he could think of though. "i'm an experiment Sue. i'm an Experiment..."

James nodded. "i can't blame you there. after all there are rumors right now that your in an orgy with all of the avengers. there's a rumor that says i'm in an orgy with all of the avengers. there's a rumor that says i'm actually a woman. there's a rumor that.... well, i think you get the picture." James admitted with a shrug. "trying to keep track of rumors is a pointless endeavor. only one in about a hundred rumors is actually true. if even." he admitted. "Jarvis speaks Russian?" James asked, looking surprised. "thanks Jay." James said with a smile, carefully leading Steve down the hall. in Steve's room, was the lighter, smaller Shield that he had gotten from Howard. it was the first time Steve had shown actual interest in something. he moved over to it and picked it up, examining it, head cocked to the side, trying to remember something that kept slipping just out of reach. "this is your room Alais. that door right across the hall is mine, and the room next to yours is Tony's." he explained. "this way me and Tony are here if you or Steve need anything."
 
Tony smiled softly as he stroked Johnny’s hair, sighing quietly. “You’re okay.”he muttered assuring the other as he sounded upset. “Johnathan Storm, even if that was true, does it make you any different then you were before?Do you love me less knowing how things came about?Love mother less for whatever happened before we were born?”Sue said looking annoyed and worried for him.

“Hmmm,it is quite the orgy really. Though how they think Clint would ever share, is beyond me.”Natasha snickered a little before smirking. “Now you, having a orgy?That I can believe.”she smirked a little. “Well, he’s a artificial intelligence, he can know anything he wants.”Natasha said tilting her head a little looking amused. Raising a eyebrow at the shield Alais looked amused as she saw it, watching steve examine it. “Thanks James. We’ll be okay.”She smiled before growing serious. “Is johnny going to be okay?”
 
Johnny twitched at his full name and turned to look at her, eyes wide. "i..." he paused, hesitated and then shook his head. "no. i don't love you less. but Mother... Mother..." something caught in his throat and he cleared it. "she used to call us something. do you remember? when she was pleased with us? 'her greatest achievement', and 'the best thing she ever made'." he looked at her. "she never once told us she loved us. you remember? never..." Johnny said, eyes still glossed over with shock. "she never treated us like people. not really. we where like pets..." he mumbled. "expensive pretty pets..."

"oh, Clint's part of the Orgy apparently." he admitted with a smirk. "i'm just said i never got invited." he admitted, pouting at her. "next time you and Clint have an orgy you have to let me play too." he teased, winking at her before nodding, "i keep forgetting how smart Jarvis really is." he admitted. "he acts so normal that i forget he can access thousands of pockets information at once." he admitted before watching Steve examine the Shield. "it's Steve's." he explained to her. "Howard had it and Steve painted it himself." his lip twitched. "Peggy shot at it while he was holding it to make sure it worked." he admitted with a snigger. "mostly she shot at him because she'd caught him smooching some dame. well, she was smooching him. Steve had never been flirted with before so he had no idea how to say no." he admitted with a chuckle before hesitating. "yes. Johnny will be fine, it might take him a while but he'll recover from this."
 
Sue sighed softly, reaching out to gently touch the man’s hair, looking worried about him before smiling slightly. “Good. I love you to, Johnny.”she muttered before wincing, looking away. “...I...hadn’t thought of that.”sue said looking sick at the idea of her mother’s words, nodding. “we were pets...but she’s gone. And we’re still here...”she muttered sighing quietly. “we should go sleep.”

“Oh, well okay then.”Natasha snickered a little. “we will remember that.”he promised before nodding. “He acts normal because that’s how tony acts, he learned most of his stuff from tony, and even if he’s brilliant, tony is totally spastic.”Natasha pointed out. “...That makes sense.No wonder he likes it.”Alais muttered watching steve examine it before laughing, amused. “WEll. Poor steve. Getting shot for something that wasn’t his fault.”She giggled a little before looking relieved that johnny would be okay.
 
Johnny leaned into her hand as well, happy to have the attention. "i want to know for sure..." "we can do that." Bruce admitted. "it's an easy enough test. i need blood from ou and from Steve." he admitted. "and some from Sue as well." he admitted. "i'm not sure that's a good idea." Reed protested. "our bodies changed after the accident." "i'll only do a DNA test." Bruce promised Reed who frowned a little. "you can watch me do the whole test." "alright." Reed agreed to that, looking at Sue. "are you okay with that?" he asked her. that was one of the reasons why he and Sue where still together. he never, ever made decisions for her and asked her for her opinion when doing anything that might affect her or their home.

he snickered a little because he knew Clint never had orgies. he was way, way too loyal to Natasha. "Jarvis doesn't act like Tony at all, save for the occasional dry sarcasm." he pointed out. "and Tony is spastic." he agreed with a grin. "you'll either get used to it and love him because of it or hate him." he admitted with a shrug. "Tony is extreme, so there's very rarely middle ground when it comes to him." he admitted with a smile. "i think he actually remembers it a bit." James admitted, watching Steve before nudging the man. "sleep. your exhausted Ste... Soldier." Steve looked at him, gripping the shield more tightly. "you can keep it." James promised. Steve looked suspicious, but settled into his new bed, still clutching the shield. "come on, let's let him sleep."
 
Sue frowned a little as she looked at Bruce, rubbing a hand over her face as she considered it. Looking worried, but needing to know for sure. “Yes.Let’s....I need to know reed....we need to know.”Sue said leaning into reed a little with a small smile,sighing quietly. “You guys are welcome to stay.There’s plenty of room.”

”I meant he gathered info, and was smart.”Natasha snickered a little before smiling. “indeed. We love him for it.’She said, and while she’d never tell tony, she did indeed like him. “I’m starting to think so to.”Alais said watching steve, before nodding a little. “Sleep.”She said smiling as they settled into the bed, nodding as they eased out of the room. “You should get some sleep to, James.”
 
Bruce nodded. "i'll get blood samples from you all later then. Johnny won't take well to being poked right now i don't think." Bruce admitted. "come to me anytime you or Johnny feel ready and i'll see it gets done with Reed." Bruce promised. "we could do swabs too." Bruce admitted suddenly. "sorry. i'm so used to working with blood i forget about other options." "swabs?" "yes. a swab of your inner cheek... the mouth, should also provide the needed genetic material." Bruce admitted sheepishly. "sorry. i'll go get the swabs. Steve would probably like that better too." he admitted though he made no move to leave, since Johnny was currently sitting in his lap. "yes please." Johnny murmured, snuggling into him.

"ah. right." James smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head before smiling. "we get annoyed with him often enough, but you'll nevr find a man more loyal and loving than Tony." he admitted with a smile before nodding. "i'm sure you'll get along fine with him, you calm him down quite a bit actually." he admitted before smiling at the Soldier who was laying on top of the covers and settling in to sleep, clutching his shield. "i would, but then i won't sleep tonight. i'm fine. three or four hours a night is about all i need." he admitted.
 
“Kay.”Sue smield a little before startling at bruce’s admittance.”What?” “...That’s quite amusing, Brucie-bear.”Tony said snickering a little because he hadn’t thought about it either simply because biological things and tech bemused him. He could understand it, but he totally didn’t understand biology as well as tech. “I can do that. And it’s okay.”Sue smiled looking at the man,snickering a littlte at the sight of johnny calmed a little. “Well. Let’s put him in my bed. My bed’s big enough for all of us to lay down in.”Tony said squirming around to get up.

“So I’ve noticed.”Alais said smiling softly, running her efingers through her hair before getting up, gently tucking a blanket over him, before nodding. “Well, in that case, go check on tony. He’s feeling fairly spastic.”Alais said frowning slightly as she headed for her own room.
 
Bruce blushed brightly and nodded. "yeah... shut up Tony." he ordered sheepishly, smiling a little. "Tony. i'm sorry but you are not snuggling my wife." Reed complained, making Bruce snort. "he'd be much more likely to snuggle You, Richards." Johnny admitted with a grin, making Bruce laugh and Reed give Tony a slightly panicked look. Reed wasn't homophobic by any means but the idea of a man coming on to him freaked him out a little bit. still Johnny was feeling better if he was picking on Reed. he even got to his feet, hands tight on both Bruce and Tony's hands, as if worried that they might leave.

he nodded. "Tony's upset because Johnny is upset. Tony is stunningly empathetic." he admitted, watching her tuck Steve in. "anything you need, just tell Jarvis." he informed her. "he'll either order it, or add it to the shopping list." he admitted. "and before you worry, no, Tony does not do the shopping. neither do i. usually it's Pepper." he admitted. "sleep well." he ordered her with a smile before heading off to check on Tony.
 
Tny smiled before making a face. “Why not?I’ve very snuggly.’ “You are indeed, but I’ll snuggle my boyfriend.”Sue snickered a little looking amused at the look Reed gave the other genius. “But I wanna snuggle him. He’s smart and awesome and did you know h-” “Tony. If you say that thing, that Johnny’s told me you question sometimes, I’ll totally smack you.”Sue teased ruffling his hair a little looking amused, because even though she didn’t do it as much as johnny, she teased reed just as much."Meh.I can't hit on him. i mean, if I have sex with someone as smart as me, I'd end up talking the whole time, instead of having sex."Tony reassured Reed with a small smirk. Rolling her eyes as they got to Tony's room, she smiled amused as she saw tony’s bed, cause there was only one size to call it....orgy sized.

“Ah, well go check on him.”Alais said before nodding. “Don’t worry. I will.”She promised before snorting, “Well good. I’d worry about you to shopping.”She snickered as she settled in to sleep. “James!Come snuggle.”Tony ordered from where he was squirming and settling himself into the bed with johnny and the others.
 
Reed rolled his eyes, vaguely amused though he didn't show it. "uh. how about no." Reed decided before looking curious. "what? what did Johnny say?" "oh, nothing." Johnny said with a grin. "just wondering if everything is as flexible as your neck and arms." Johnny admitted, Reed looking puzzled before he went bright red. "ah.... i've, er... never considered it actually." Reed admitted, still blushing, making Johnny and Bruce both laugh. well, Bruce chuckled and Johnny snickered. "That's true. is that why you like Johnny?" Reed asked, amused, making Johnny glare at him. that was one thing he hated about Reed. he always made it sound as if Johnny was stupid. slow. "i love this bed." Johnny sighed, flopping down right into the middle and closing his eyes. asleep in seconds. James looked very amused when he realized that everyone was indeed snuggling and joined them. "how is Johnny doing?" he asked, slipping next to Tony who was laying to Johnny's left. Sue on Johnny's right with Reed behind her.
 
“He says alot of things.”Tony said with a look of wide eyed innocence that just made sue laugh. “You’re so adorable when you blush.”Sue teased looking amused. “Nooooo. Johnny talks smart at me, it’s sorta like seeing a smart librarian, and he even sometimes wears glasses to complete the look, but he knows how to do sex well, and just shuts up when he needs to.”tony said dropping a little himself simply because he was responding to johnny being upset. “I know you do.”Tony snickered at johnny, pleased when he past out. Looking up at james he shifted snuggling both johnny and james as sue snuggled reed. “Upset still, but better.”
 
Reed just pouted at her a little even as he snuggled into her, shaking his head a little. as if Johnny could ever be smart! he was just a punk kid who would never grow up. "wait. Johnny wears glasses?" indeed Johnny did. only when he was reading though, the small print made his eyes ache otherwise. "yes i do. sometimes." Johnny admitted, rolling his eyes at Reed. the man was a nuisance and he didn't understand why Sue liked him. "i'm glad. how are you doing?" he asked, worried about Tony too, settling in for a nap even if he knew he'd be annoyed when he couldn't sleep later.

actually, he was annoyed before that. Steve had, in a fit of childlike delight, drawn on the walls. they where very nice pictures most of the time. there was a bright white orchid drawn over the bed, but there was a mass of squiggly wild lines on the dresser sides and on the bathroom door. there was a bright red rose under the window, but the window itself had been splashed with black paint as if trying to block out the sun. where Steve had gotten the crayons and bucket of paint, the man wasn't saying. he did look very pleased with himself as he drew a cluster of violets on one of the few blank spaces that remained. "...Steve what in the world?!" James complained to the Soldier, who was completely ignoring him while he focused on making the Violets perfect before he seamed to forget what he was doing and abandoned the violets to scribble more nonsensical things into another blank place on the wall, returning to his violets once he'd gotten bored with the scribbling.
 
“He does. Awesome ones.”Tony said sounding pleased, before resting his head on james’ shoulder, closing his eyes.”I’m okay. Promise.”he muttered starting to drift off for a nap.

Alais sighed quietly as she watched steve pain, shrugging a little. ‘he got upset when I tried to get him to stick to paper.”She said, because she had no idea where he’d gotten the paint and crayons, but the man’s delight in drawing was keeping her from being to upset. “Oh!This looks good.”Tony said glancing around the room with such obvious amusement that you knew he really didn’t care what his place looked like, or that steve was drawing on the walls. As long as it made him happy, tony could care less. Because he so rarely knew how to make people happy, the other simply accepted whatever anyone enjoyed.
 
he sighed a little. "at least he's showing some sign of life." he muttered. "why though? why this?!" he wondered. "and why does he keep going from perfect drawings to scribbles?" he wondered before looking up at Tony. "he's not supposed to be drawing on the walls." he grumbled before brightening. "oh! i know! Jarvis? you can speak Russian right? will you ask him what he's doing?" once Jarvis spoke Steve paused, having been scribbling on the wall again, his head cocked, looking for the voice. "...Золя?" Steve asked, setting the crayon down and standing up. "Золя? Где я?" Steve asked, looking at James and Tony and Alais. "Я не буду возвращаться , Золя . Я Айк это место." Steve informed the invisible voice before returning to his drawing. now he was making petunias. "ask him what he's doing again?" "Я помню. Цветы в саду . улыбающиеся лица. сладкие песни." he began to hum a song that made James pale and nearly collapse. "he's remembering home." he whispered. "mother always had a garden full of roses, violets, and petunias. that was her favorite song... April Showers. we used to sing it to her when we where in the garden playing... he's remembering home..."

Translation:
Zola?
Zola? Where Am I?
I will not go back, Zola. I Ike this place.
I remember. Flowers in the Garden. Smiling faces. sweet songs.

(here, have a post while i work on the others.)
 
"It's almost like the memories run out and he goes to squib blessed then he starts drawing again when he remembers..."Alais muttered. "He does."tony agreed frowning slightly as he listened to jarvis reply in russian. "No, soldier. My name is jarvis, and you are currently in the tower of tony stark and the avengers."Jarvis explained in Russian before asking what he was doing."captain, he says he remember. Flowers in the Garden. Smiling faces. sweet songs."Jarvis informed them. Alais looked around them tilting her head."he's making a garden."
 
"yeah. yeah your right." James agreed, watching Steve finish the Violets, his head tilted. "those where mothers favorites. the Violets." he admitted. "she used to harvest hundreds of them, and press them in books so she would always have flowers around, even if they where flat." he admitted with a smile, Steve cocking his head at Jarvis. "Jarvis? Tony? Avengers? Steve asked in the rough Russian he was so familiar with. "he's remembering home." James said to Jarvis. "he's remembering summer when we where children. we used to always go out and help her with the garden and sing along to the radio that was always playing. it was the only thing we had left of Father, that Radio." he admitted, watching Steve consider a blank part on the wall before he started to draw some doves, making James smile. "he even remembers the doves. we had a whole colony that would show up to eat the bird seed we threw to the yard." he admitted. "they even chased off the blackbirds and pigeons, though they shared with the finches and cardinals and other birds. it was... amazing, looking out the window and seeing dozens of different birds."
 
“A garden....I probably could figure out how to make a garden inside. I mean, me and bruce. We could.”Tony said biting his lip because he might actually be able to do it, but he wasn’t good with living things, he’d need help figuring it out. “You are no longer with hydra. You are with the avengers. Alais smiled looking up at james, “Well, we we worried he wouldn’t remember, he is now. It’s just...coming out as pictures.”Alais said smiling a little before moving over to steve, gently resting her hands over his to make him stop. “Okay enough. Time to eat.”
 
James blinked at tony and then beamed at him. "that would be great! don't worry, you figure out how to make it work, and i'll do the planting." he promised. "i'm not as good as my ma, but i can keep the plants alive and flourishing easy enough." he admitted. "Handler Transfer. Steve agreed with Jarvis, unaware really of what Hydra or Avengers was. he growled at Alais when she stopped him in the middle of a beautifully draw hydrangea but allowed her to lead him away from the wall. and up to the kitchen without a fuss where Bruce was currently cooking food for everyone. he settled bowls of soup in front of th small group with a smile. "how is everyone feeling today?" he asked, head tilted at them. Steve was already eating his soup. rich tomato based with noodles, hamburger, mushrooms and beans it was just the soft, but rich meal Steve needed to get his energy back up. Steve seamed to really enjoy the soup too, because once he was done with his ow small bowl, he stole Alais's and ate that too.
 
"Okay...Ill figure out something. As long as you don't expect me to do living things. I kill things.Btony said making aface."well come back and finish. I promise."Alais reassured the man when he fussed about leaving smiling at bruce."hey bruce." "We'll were figuring out how to have a indoor garden today bruce,so we're fairly good.Btony grinned cause he always did so much better with a actual project to work onn,a problem he could fix. Alais sulked pouting a little even as she let steve have her soup looking at bruce."is there any more?"
