she asked neutrally. "Why?" ", "I know," JARVIS said again, his voice softer. Much as he enjoyed this sudden professionalism, Steve did feel bad. Tony looked down. Still, he wandered down to the communal area to see who was there, and was surprised to see Steve standing by the kitchen table, wearing dark suit and tie. That was enough. "Now, was that all you were calling about? "You made me CEO because you were too busy dying and being an ass to do it yourself," she answered sharply. Pepper was...Pepper was perfect. Pepper raised an eyebrow at the archer, "I'm asking you" Pepper stated "And Clinton, don't even think about using that sort of tone with me again" Clint was about to protest but backed down when he saw the look that the red head was giving him. Huh. The people he slept with might only be with him because they wanted to say they'd slept with Tony Stark, but at least they didn't judge him. Tony sat on the floor of his workshop, hunched against the door. In case you haven't noticed, J, people are queueing up to get a piece of me. "That must be difficult.

I mean, we both understand why you did, but it still hit him hard." But there were times when he was made to feel weak (Take off the suit, what are you? It's a fantastically well-written series, and starting in Part 3 (On the Edge), there's a really good focus on Phil and Clint putting Tony back together into a reasonably functional human being again after he has a sort-of breakdown. "Besides, it'll be fun. It had made him feel like a worm. " He understood that; he drove everyone away in the end. They called her a golddigger and a tramp and started talking like he must have left her. "You have been down this road before. He was affecting their unit cohesion and their public reputation, and he didn't even seem to care. Steve didn't smile. "I also believe you are in need of human company," JARVIS told him. Truthfully, he wasn't sure if all this irritation was really Stark's fault. Sorry, Tony. What they don't realize is that the guy Tony's dating is becoming increasingly abusive. Steve, who was fuming, threw his spangley shield on the ground. "Sure," Steve smiled, in a way that was just on the wrong side of patronising. "The Avengers are going to take part in the next phase of the rebuilding by - " Steve began uncomfortably, but he was interrupted by some lurid speculation as to whether the girls were bisexual. All Avengers were watching a movie but Tony was no where to be seen, which was strange as he always loved movie nights, teaching Thor about Midgaurd movies and teasing Steve whenever a risqué scene would be shown, but the five were just watching Prince of Persia and munching on popcorn, so she asked JARVIS to pause the movie, which earned a groan from Clint and the CEO walked in front of the screen, a business expression fixed on her face. Natasha was about to interrogate him further but was interrupted by JARVIS, "Incoming video call from Miss Potts" JARVIS chimed. Now everyone was worried and annoyed, and even Clint and Thor had stopped inviting him to their mammoth eighties movie marathons. "Yeah. That's the point. Natasha sighed and shook her head. Pepper wasn't mentioned once. "Fuck you Rogers" Tony simply said with a certain icy tone in his voice before going into the elevator to his lab. Dummy knew Tony was miserable even if he didn't understand why or how to fix it. ", Bruce sighed deeply. "Sounds good," he admitted. Tony was apparently wrong. "No, that's not...I didn't mean it," he protested weakly. Stop pretending to be a hero!) Perhaps it was time to start some damage limitation. "Why don't you ask your precious boyfriend?" He paused, hovering in the air directly above Steve and pantomimed something obscene with his hips. ", He did. He sighed. Always. The next thing that happened took everyone by surprise. JARVIS had given him the highlights, and it made him feel old and tired and very, very stupid. Stark shrugged and stared down at his coffee. "I'm going out," he announced, standing up abruptly. ", He took a deep breath. He didn't want their pity or sympathy, he just wanted to curl up in a hole and die. "For what it's worth, I really didn't mean it. He could call her right now. I've been hearing that a lot lately." It was good to hear what the others had planned for the day. Tony wasn't the only one letting his personal life affect his job. There was a man standing in the kitchen area, fully dressed and making pancakes. He leaned back against the counter and a slow smile spread across his face. He hadn't read them, but he knew the guy in the club had given him rave reviews, as had all the people watching. In the Avengers household, peace and quiet is a rare occurence. Only now, two weeks later the robots were back. Or perhaps they hadn't and Stark had just picked up on the prevailing mood. His voice sounded raw. Why You Shouldn't Piss off Pepper Potts, an avengers fanfic | FanFiction Tony isn't weak. "JARVIS, do me a favour and delete that message will you?". Clint said venomously. "Good coffee by the way," he said, deflecting awkwardly. ", Tony's voice began to break "My earpiece got damaged when I fell and I-I tried to tell them but then he had to m-mentioned Howard" Pepper pulled him close to her, stroking his curly brown hair as he hugged her waist. "Yes, sir," JARVIS said, and now he sounded even more unhappy. Bruce looked up and put down his book, "Nothing, Rogers but all I'm going to say is Revenge is a bitch, kind of like how you guys were acting yesterday" and with that the doctor went back to his book. "If it's not mission-related, I don't want to hear it. "Natasha is coming with me," Steve added, catching sight of something on his face. Sleep felt like it should be possible, and yet every time he closed his eyes it seemed further and further away. "My first demands are to suit Sirs' needs but my secondary commands are to suit Sirs' family's need a.i Miss Potts or the Future Mrs Stark" Jarvis said. And we're in the middle of bidding for contracts to provide Stark Pads to half the Ivy League. The hologram vanished instantly. That had been three days ago and he'd got a phonecall last night to tell him Gabriel was going downhill fast. Normally he was the one who did the leaving in the morning. With her he'd felt complete. Tony questioned. He went out that night to a little exclusive club he knew, and he bought more drinks than the club had glasses, and he ended up going home with three cocktail waitresses, and the next day the media was full of pictures of the four of them getting hot and heavy in the elevator. Stark asked irritably in response to her look. He didn't say anything. "So you don't need to worry.". There was nothing wrong with what he was doing, and he didn't even want to consider the fact that nothing compared to Pepper. And That day, the Avengers learnt two valuable life lessons: 2. She wasn't the only one who was angry with him either; they all were to greater or lesser degrees. Or insult Tony Stark. It seemed some dictator in Latveria had found he had a need for some Vibranium and rather than trying to buy some he'd sent an army of robots that looked like him to try and steal it. I want the best. "Pep? Normally when he asked to delete something, JARVIS would suggest saving it for a rainy day. This day just kept getting better and better.

", Apparently that was enough. "Pepper is worried about you," she said with absolute truth. *keeping her on speed dial*. And now he was in North Korea and the War Machine wasn't built for infiltration, so that was worrying, and Rhodey probably didn't even know Tony and Pepper had broken up, and everything was just a mess. Another thing he wasn't good enough for anymore. He hated this part. No way he could defend himself. He had to get out of here. "For one thing, sir, you have not eaten since approximately seven o'clock yesterday evening," JARVIS told him. "Hawkeye, Iron Man, cool it, okay?" "Alright. That's a good age, right? "I know," she said, her voice choked. Clint nodded in agreement, "The situation could've been a lot worse. "There's a classic car show on this Saturday," Mark went on. Apparently that included him. Well, that's frankly disappointing. He waited as the silence stretched out. ", Steve's face briefly showed a sort of fascinated disgust. "Not in New York, though. But when their side had Hulk, and a Norse God capable of bringing lightning, plus an archer with exploding arrows, and a tech genius with what Steve was privately terming an 'anti-robot-gun' although he expected there would be a better explanation later, the robots weren't standing much of a chance.
