The heavy rains and thunder rumbled and beat the side of the tower Sj frowned with worry and Victoria watch him, his older brother Brandy was coming to pick him up when the huge storm hit and both kids had been worried since. "Don't worry kid your brother will get her soon." comforted Tony and Sj sighed and fixed his glasses on.

"Brandy doesn't like thunder Mister Stark. He told me it's cause it takes him back. I gotta be there for him." Sj explained and Victoria hugged him as his eyes got misty. Tony patted his shoulder and steered the kids over to sit on the couch. Bruce sat down cups of warm tea in front of each kid and ruffled Sj's hair.

"Are you sure you can't stop the storm Mister Thor?" asked Sj and Victoria for the third time in a hour, it really dishearted the thunder demigod.

"I'm sorry, but if I mess with what nature attend to on earth it will cause a much worse disaster." he explained softly and the two kids frowned. Steve gave them a soft, sad smile and flipped through of movies to catch up on, "How about we watch this movie called..um..the Goonies? Is that it?" he asked and Sam nodded and started to look for it to watch on TV.

After two hours passed, the third bowl of popcorn and second cup of hot chocolate disappeared and the beginning of The Breakfast Club started Jarvis announced someone coming up the elevator. Tony frowned and looked down at the camera shot Jarvis sent him.

"Oh, it's Brandy." he hummed and Sj got up so quickly he made himself dizzy and staggered over to the opening door.

There stood a young man of twenty- five dripping wet with water. He had the same light brown tone as Sj with patches of pale skin randomly around his body, the under of his eyes and chin had them the most. His short hair dripped water around his face and he gave a blank glare down at Sj with light hazel eyes.Sj frowned in concern before he engulfed the man's waist in a hug.

He creaked forward a bit, in discomfit of the pressure from Sj's leg hug and the others glanced down and swallowed to see only one thick but scared leg and other a full fake leg, it was thin and black with an artificia lknee that squeaked weakly. They looked away and to Tony as not to intrude and show their pity stares at him.

"Bruh chill, I'm here and alright. Would have thought you'd want a lil' more time witcho girlfriend." laughed Brandy.

"I was worried Brandy! Where's Ivy? Is she alright?" Just then an excited squeak of acknowledgment came from the baby holder strapped to Brandy from under the plastic rain coat he had draped and tied around the two. He peeled it off to reveal a head of dull ginger curls and a brown face with a little tooth smile and dimples, her dark green eyes sparked with excitement to see Sj.

"Stew!" she babbled out and making grabby-hands at Sj and Brandy smiled down at both of them and finally noticed the others in the room.

"Wow." he whispered in wonder to be in the presece of the Avengers before quickly getting over it and nodding at Tony.

"Thanks for watching out for Sj Tony. I really appreciate it. Had I knew this storm was gonna hit so early I woulda came sooner." Brandy explained as he buckled Ivy out her holder and gave her to Sj.

The small boy struggled for a bit to manover the chubby one year old on his hip correctly before holding her close and confidently like some kinda of super strength came over him with his big brother senses now unlocked. He walked over to the rest with a proud grin on his face.

"This is my sister Ivy, she's one and is awesome because she made me a big brother. She can even walk backwards." he showed off and the others all smiled at the cute display. Sj's chest almost stuck out like a rooster's in his pride.

Tony walked over to Brandy while they other were distracted by Sj and Ivy and patted Brandy's shoulder.

"Are you alright? I know the leg usually gives a lean in your walk but your limping pretty bad." Tony asked and Brandy sighed and the two walked over to the bar stools.

"I guess the ol' peg leg gets a little rusty in the rain." he laughed but gave a small frown. "Phantom limbs been messing wit me man, I damn near fell trying to run under a' awning when the rain got heavy. Doc said it needs new joints again, but I'm gonna hold off on em. I still have to get that new inhaler for Stewie." he rambles looking over at his younger siblings and Tony pats his shoulder again.

"You know my offer still stands. I could get you a first candidate spot in out tester program for those advance prosthetics. It would be safer that way to carry Ivy." Tony bargained and Brandy chuckled.

"E'ery I come here in person you offer it to me."

"I'm a persistent man Brand."

"I see Tony, but...I don't think I'm ready for it. Not wit my attack flarin' up so I still can't even slip into a nap with this peg leg wit out it causing me to havea flashback recently." Brandy said as he wiped the dripping water off his neck and Tony went into the kitchen for a towel.

"I understand, but the offer is still open. Can alway come to me for it." Tony says as he throws a towel at him and Brandy nods.

"Brandy you gotta meet Steve! He's a Capitanand he's from Brooklyn!" Sj said excitedly as he bounced with Ivy still on his hip and she waved. Brandy gave a small grin and got up but stumbled as the weak joint on his prosthetic leg locked up.

He gasped sharply as he quickly grabbed the counter to stop his fall and the other edge in their seat in surprise. Steve and Bruce both stood up to help him while Tony was already there and grabbed Brandy's arm to balance him while he gathered himself.

Brandy gave a small hiss of pain as the socket near his stump pinched the sensitive skin.

"I'm good." he said quietly as he forced the leg to unlock and made his way over to sit next to where Sj stood. Sj frowned and let Victoria take Ivy and he placed his hand on Brandy's real knee.

"Are you really alright. I'm sorry I made ya walk." and Brandy sighed but ruffled a hand in Sj's hair.

"Calm down Sj. I'm good. Anyway, hey I'm Brandy Dean. Big brother of this dude right here." he introduced and the other introduced themselves and Steve, the gentlemen as always, walked over and shook his hand.

"It's nice to met you son." Steve said and Brandy had to give a tight lipped smile at that.

"Um no offense but you look, at most, five years older than me." he said and Steve chuckled.

"I'll let you think that." and Brandy just shook his head, "Nah I understand, just playin' wit you."

Brandy carefully stood up giving a small glance of comfort to a worrying Sj. He gripped Steve's hand a little tighter and grew a bit more serious, "It's an honor to meet you Captian Rodgers. You're the reason I even joined. My mama, bless her soul, would thank you for keep me out of trouble." he said and Steve felt something different in his chest. He was thankful of course, and honored but also a bit guilty. It was pretty obvious what his service cost him.

"I think the honors all mines." Steve said and a grin came on both Sj and Brandy's face. Ivy just giggled and danced in Victoria's Lap.

"Okay" said Tony, "Lets get our guest some dry clothes and some place to rest." Tony looked to see Brandy go to say something but Victoria bet him to it.

'Yeah, pops is right Brandy. We can have you guys out there in the storm, the weather guy said it would stop until morning. I can put Ivy in my old Pj's and Pops is old so he has a lot of extra clothes."

"Victoria Margret Maria! I'm not old."

"You're older. Like almost 45"

"Don't tell my secrets little girl."Tony says clapping his hands to silence her "Anyway. Clothes, I'll run up and get them than we can get some extra blankets and set you guys up in a guest room." he finished as he walked to the elvator and Brandy chuckled.

'Becareful Tony, we can't have you old heads breaking hips. Ain't that right Rodgers? A man of your age should know" Brandy joked and both Tony and Steve grew a bit red as the others laughed.

"Oh shut up, all of you. Thor's like a thousand yeas old!"
