Pepper smiled. It was a nice, quiet sunday afternoon, no press conferences, no Tony trying to save the world, just a nice afternoon in the rebuild Avengers tower. She had pulled out her novel and was looking forward to finally read the ending.

With her tea next to her, she settled on the couch and was just about to made sure her mobile was off when BOOOM.

The whole building was shaking. Pepper hastily got on her feet, yelling at Jarvis to tell her what the hell had happened.

„I think Mister Stark and Doctor Banner have blown up the lab." Came the cool statement.

„Jarvis, are they okay?"

„As far as I see it, they are both unharmed."

„Good" Pepper growled. This was her free afternoon!

She ran to the elevator, and within a few seconds she was in what formerly had been a high-tech lab. Now it looked like a warzone.

In the middle of the chaos, she could see Tony and Bruce. Both were dirty, but they were standing and obviously discussing what went wrong. Or did it go wrong?

Whatever, Pepper was furious.

„What the hell were you thinking?!" She yelled at them.

The two scientists looked up, completely suprised.

„This tower was just rebuild! This is at least 3 Million dollar you just blew away! And how shall I explain this to the mayor? Or to Fury? Or to the press?"

„Ahh, we... you..."

„Is that everything you have to offer?" Pepper walked to them, which was remarkable, because she was wearing high heels that made her taller than Tony.

Tony noticed it and ran towards her. „I think you should go back in the livingroom. Bruce and I gonna take care of it. Aren't we?" He looked towards Bruce, who was still caught up in Peppers outburst.

That moment, Peppers mobile started to ring. Really loud. Pepper looked on the caller ID, glared at Tony and then picked up. „Hello, Mayor Aberdeen. No, everything is fine up here. No harm done..." And with a last angry glare towards Tony and Bruce, she walked into her office, knowing that she could forget finishing her book today.

AN: So, the plan is that this series of drabbels describes Peppers life in the tower with the Avengers. There will be Tony/Pepper, Clint/Natasha, Thor/Jane and maybe Steve/Maria and Bruce/OC or Bruce/Darcy. Shall I go on?
