*~*~*~*Bending over a circuit board for his newest project, Tony worked to ignore the person who was standing just inside of his lab, door closed behind him and looking neat as a pin in his suit. He was also ignoring the fact that the man was also holding a plate with a sandwich and chips in hand. He had to finish the board before him so that he could put it to the side for testing so the kids that were depending on the new prosthetics could get them and get on with their lives.Finishing with that, Tony put aside the tools that he had been using after carefully wiping them off, and sat up straight, groaning as he stretched. “Fuck,” he groaned, rubbing at his lower back to release the knots that had formed during his time working on the delicate machinery. “So, Agent Agent, what can I do for you?” he asked, finally acknowledging the man waiting for his attention.“Stark, it’s surprising to see you work so diligently on something that’s not the suit,” Phil said, moving to place the plate of food down onto a clear spot of counter space. Dum-E rolled past and waved his arm at him before gathering the tools to clean properly and put away.“Oh, I do work on things that need to come out of Stark Enterprises. You should know this. Unless of course your dear Natasha missed that little factoid,” Stark drawled as he stood and moved to the small sink that had a bottle of specialized soap to clean his hands. Once the little bits of solder and whatnot had been cleaned off, he used a paper towel to dry his hands as he took his seat once more. “So what can I do for you?”“I need to speak with you about a few things that have come to our attention in the last month or so,” Phil said, sitting down on a stool and looking as if he was sitting in a comfortable desk chair instead of the bar stool it was.“Oh? How interesting,” Tony hummed, eyes boring in on the other man, wondering just what they had found out this time. He didn’t like his life being poked and prodded at, much less laid out in front of a guy who didn’t fucking well share shit with the people under his command.Phil looked at Tony with a steady gaze, leaning one elbow onto the table and frowned heavily at him. The engineer went stiff at the look and lost any kind of amusement in his body language. “Clint has noticed that there’s something more going on with you actually and he came to me to talk with me. I’m not here as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony, but as, I would hope, a friend. And the one who has to make sure that this team isn’t going to just pull apart at the seams.”“Have you talked to Fury about this?” Tony asked, raising an eyebrow at him, face blank as his burnt honey eyes narrowed slightly at the other. Phil shook his head with a snort. “Why not? I’m surprised that you haven’t done that yet.”“I’m not going to tell him anything about this because it is your personal life, Tony. I just need to know that you are taking care of it and it’s not going to pull you in a direction that will lead to either you or one of the other Avengers deaths,” Phil said simply. He laced his fingers as he stared at the slightly younger male before him.Tony snorted and ate a chip off of the plate, trying hard not to just go ahead and smack the man before him with something heavy. “I’m not going to get someone killed out in the field. Yes, I make all sorts of jokes and don’t work well with people, but I’m not going to let them die,” he stated, voice firm.“I see,” Phil hummed, nodding his head and looking down to his hands, rubbing one thumb over the other as he took in a deep breath. “Tony, who is Z?” he asked, watching as the other male went stiff once more and turned his back to him, plate in hand.“Z is none of your business, that’s who Z is,” Tony stated, voice hard and unyielding. “Who’s been digging around? I swear if Natasha is digging around again, I will have to make it really hard for her to keep her job here as Natalie and not even Fury will be able to say shit about it,” he drawled, turning around to gaze at Phil.It wasn’t often that he was caught off guard, but the look of cold calculation on the usually smirking face of Tony wasn’t something that he had ever expected to see ever. “Clint wanted to make sure that whoever you were seeing wouldn’t endanger the Avengers, much less yourself and your company. Miss Potts would be very unhappy should something happen,” Phil stated in returned, Tony shaking his head.“She knows who Z is and who they are to me,” Tony stated, picking up his sandwich. “Look, you don’t need to know who they are, much less what they do. Just know that they were vetted before I even set anything up because I didn’t need shit getting out,” he continued before taking a bite out of the sandwich.Phil hummed. “Still…” he started before stopping at the flash of honey eyes that were darkened with anger. “Fine. I shall take your word on this for the moment, but do remember that we are trying to keep things balanced,” he said, sitting up straight as Tony continued to eat.“I know, I know. We need to play nice with the public but keep secrets hidden from them since we don’t want them to know anything,” Tony snorted. “Hell, outside of Natasha and Clint, our personal identities are well known. Mine because like hell was I going to spin some bullshit for the public, Cap’s because he was a face for the war of that time, and Bruce’s because the idiots who wanted him so much plastered his face everywhere when they could hunt him.”“Luckily they took the hint when S.H.I.E.L.D. agents visited him after he tried to capture Banner in the middle of a grocery trip,” Phil snorted, talking about the time that Steve and Bruce had gone out to gather a few things that they couldn’t buy from a regular store. In the end, agents had gotten them out of the situation that had left them running and hiding for the most part from idiots who had been under command of the main idiot.“I also hacked their accounts, wiped out their money and then sent a note to them telling them that while S.H.I.E.L.D. could end their professional lives easily, that I would ruin their personal lives while leaving their loved ones alone. They’d find themselves blacklisted from working in their fields and more likely end up working in some fast food job,” Tony admitted, getting an amused look from Phil. “What? I don’t like idiots like that fucking around with my friends,” he stated.“Glad to know that you’re on our side,” Phil snorted, standing up and fixing the sleeves of his shirt.“Oh, I won’t be stopping myself if you guys keep trying to plant things where there should be no plants. I don’t like working with eyes on me,” Tony warned, reaching into a small refrigerator and pulling out a baggy. “The next person I find planting bugs on will be removed from the building and not allowed any kind of access. This goes for Natasha since she also bugged Peppers private office. Pepper is not a happy girl,” he drawled.“I’ll send that message to Fury and have her back off,” Phil said, not showing just how pissed he was with the fact that she was still trying to bug places that had been agreed to not be bugged. He had a feeling that she didn’t like not knowing what Tony did in his personal spaces and she needed to be reminded that she was allowed to keep her cover only because Tony allowed her.It seemed that his people kept forgetting the fact that Tony wasn’t just a man with a powerful and pretty suit, but also a genius who had contacts in every walk of life. He could make S.H.I.E.L.D.’s life a very hard thing and ruin his agents abilities to do what they needed to do if they kept pissing him off.Phil would have to have another class on Tony Stark with the agents once more it seemed.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
