Nerd Dream
Ok, so in the dream, a person that I think might have been my Overwatch OC Marlowe was all bent out of shape because in one of the Avenger battles, Iron Man had accidentally crushed two of her brothers under a thrown building or something. Maybe it was the A off the Stark Industries tower that was knocked loose in some epic battle, but whatever it was that killed them, she was. Most. Put. Out.
So much so that she confronted him over this in his own command center. Thor was no help since all he could talk about was weregild and what not, and apologies just don't cut it when your big and baby brother had to be removed from the sidewalk with a hose.
So she decides the big lug in the cape is right and that only blood will pay for blood. Tony informs her that he is an only child, so that's not going to work either.
"Only legitimate child," she hisses back. "Luckily, ol' Howard spread his bastards far and wide enough that it shouldn't be too much trouble to find them." And she hacks all his screens so that it tracks down the files of all these random men who maybe do look a lot like Tony and/or Howard.
"Two half brothers should equal one full brother," she says. "So four of these are going to die with your name cut into their bellies."
Poor Tony tries to argue, but she says something like. "You ever think that the reason he didn't care that much for you was because by the time you were born the novelty of being a dad had worn off?"
And there was more after that, something about the ghost of an exiled Wakandan kept in a jar until it could be delivered to the spirit realm to scream at the king who had banished her, and someone singing The Parting Glass over the death of an animal and Bucky joining in because he remembers this song, but it's all blurry after that.
