~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tony blinked open one of his eyes and winced at the bright light. Why were the lights so bright? He closed his eye and took a deep breath reaching out with the Extremis to try to dim the lights. His eyes snapped open however when the Extremis didn't connect to anything. He looked around the room he was in and frowned again. He was in a hut, and he could hear voices outside but he didn't recognize any of the voices. Where was he? What had happened?

"I'm telling you he's harmless! He was completely naked when we found him you know." Tony was sure that the overly cheery voice must have belonged to a child. He shook his head and raised the blanket that was lying across his lap. He sighed in relief at seeing the baggy blue pants and pushed the blanket completely off. He was dreaming that was the only explanation for any of this.

He climbed off the bed and headed for the huts opening poking his head out. The voices had stopped and he suddenly found four women and a man holding a baby starting at him in complete shock. He rubbed at the back of his neck and was very thankful that he wasn't easily embarrassed.

"You shouldn't be up and walking around yet." One of the women said as she quickly moved to his side. Tony noticed her eyes first thing and couldn't help but continue to stare at them. The contrast between the bright green and blue in either eye was just plain beautiful.

"I heal fast." Tony would have kicked himself if he had wanted to look like a moron; instead he gave the woman a soft smile and turned his eyes to look at the other people. Two of the women were glaring at him, and he wished he had his armor. The man was glaring too, but it was lessened with the baby in his arms. The last person was shifting on her feet and Tony knew he was going to get pounced on. He had seen Peter act like that far to often.

Rikku couldn't believe her luck. She finally finds a guy, who by all looks and appearances shouldn't have been anywhere near where he had been, and he was checking out Yuna. She wanted to pout, to scream, or to throw a fit, but knew that she'd come off as childish. She definitively didn't want to make a bad first impression. She pushed her way towards the man and smiled brightly up at him. He was at least a full foot taller than her but she didn't care. He was gorgeous.

"Well actually you really had no wounds, you were just kind of out like a light." She placed her hands on her hips and gave the man a smile. "But now that you're awake, we can find out how you got here. No other airships have come in but ours, and there hasn't been a ship wreck or anything." She was starting to become very excited. It was just like with Tidus, expect this time Sin wasn't here.

Tony watched the girl talk. She was beautiful, but she looked way to young. He gave her a smile before running a hand through his hair. He had to think. What was the last thing he was doing? His eyes widened as the thought finally struck him. Ultron. Ultron had hacked into his armors systems and had taken complete control of it. But how did that happen and why? He shook his head and closed his eyes.

“This is going to sound very strange. But I think I’m dreaming.” He opened his eyes once more and frowned at the people surrounding him. He had never had a dream like this before, but he was pretty sure that’s what it was, a very real feeling dream. Perhaps something the Extremis created while Ultron occupied his armor. Tony looked down at the blonde girl by his side; she was the only one not looking at him like he was out of his mind. Was he missing something?
“Told ya. You shoulda left ‘em right where ya found ‘em.” Wakka said before pushing past Tony and walking into the hut. Tony frowned and rubbed at the shoulder that had been hit. The man must have been an athlete or something, because that had hurt him. His eyes moved over towards the three other women standing around him.

“Wakka’s right. This will not end well.” Lulu nodded her head towards Yuna before heading into the hut. Tony wasn’t sure what was going on, but he was sure that he was just kicked out of his rescuer’s home. His eyes moved towards the only person who hadn’t spoken, maybe she would be reasonable. Paine however just shook her head and headed off without a word. Tony frowned; his dream world was very weird.

Yuna gave her cousin a soft smile before bowing to Tony. Tony nodded his head at the girl and wondered why she was bowing. This dream world was getting weirder by the minute.

“I must be off to the temple for a while. But Rikku will look after you, at least until we can get you home safely.” Tony nodded his head again and watched the girl run off towards the largest building in the area. Tony’s eyes then moved back to the girl at his side. His eyes widened as he finally took in her appearance. The bright yellow bikini top and the mini skirt didn’t hide much of her body, and Tony hopped that she was at least eighteen. He would hate to think that his mind was that perverted.

“How about we go down to the beach?” Rikku grabbed Tony’s hand and started to pull him along with her. She was a lot stronger than she looked. Tony kept up with her the whole way, silent and gazing at the sights around him. He was in a paradise. The air smelt of salt water, there was a cool sea breeze; it wasn’t very hot or too cold. It was simply perfect.

Rikku stopped as her feet hit the sand and looked up at Tony biting into her bottom lip. She didn’t want to take him to the spot she had found him at; she didn’t want him to leave that quickly. She just knew that as soon as he had his machina back he’d leave. This was her shot. Plus, his machina was way more interesting than anything the Al Bhed had created.

“So Rikku was it?” Tony watched as the girl had looked off into the distance and had muttered something in a language he didn’t understand. She was very attractive but she was too young for him. Wasn’t she? He shook his head and watched as the girl nodded her head and moved off towards a cave looking formation.

“Yup. I’m an Al Bhed. Though you probably don’t know what that is huh?” Rikku laughed lightly and turned to walk backwards bouncing slightly as she neared the over hang. She wanted to talk to the man without someone coming up and bothering them. So even if she wanted to keep him away from his strange machina, she knew that it was the most isolated spot around Besaid.

“Nope, no clue.” Tony laughed as he watched the girl. She was nimble and lean and obviously worked out. If he had to bet, he would have said she was a thief of some kind. But she looked way to sweet to be just some common thief. His eyes widened as he saw something gold shine off the sand and quickly ran towards it.

“Found it scattered all around ya. Doesn’t look like that power source has any juice left in it. We could try to hook it up to some of the reactors at Djose temple. Might power up at least the helmet.” Rikku shifted slightly kicked up some of the sand before kneeling down next to the helmet and picking it up gently. Tony was too shocked for words. A beautiful girl had just looked at his armor and had known that it was something special. He fell onto his butt in the sand and looked up at Rikku.

“I’m not dreaming am I?” Rikku shook her head sadly and placed a hand onto his upper arm. Tony looked up into her eyes and was taken back by the swirls inside of them. They were like nothing he had ever seen before, and they were beautiful.

“’Fraid not mister.” Rikku set her self in front of him on the sand and cradled the helmet in her arms pressing it again her chest. “Though the last guy to fall through to Spira was just a dream, I’m guessing you’re not. You don’t seem like something the Aeons would dream up.” She blushed slightly and then shook her head, the blush disappearing almost as quickly as it appeared.

“Tony.” He said softly reaching out with the Extremis and turning the armor on. She had been right; the power was almost completely gone. Not even enough to force the armor to assemble. He smiled as the girl handed over the helmet. “Maybe I’m not in such a hurry to leave. I’m sure my team can handle things without me for a little while.” He watched as Rikku’s face lit up in a bright smile, he made a mental note to make sure that he made her smile like that more often.

“That’s great! I’ll some you around. Oh! I’ll have to take you to Djose of course. And Home too of course, though Daddy and Brother will probably give you a hard time. Oh and the Thunder Plains. Maybe Bevelle too, but we can save that for last.” Tony leaned back in the sand and just listened to the blonde as she spoke of places he had never heard of before. The Mighty Avengers could get along fine without him for a few days.

If this did turn out to be all a dream, it was bond to be the best nights sleep he had ever had. But if it was all real, well he needed a vacation anyways.
