Hi all. So three weeks to Christmas huh? Are all my nice reviewers being good so Santa will bring them lots of stuff? I know I am trying.
I just thought of this because every time my mom and I go shopping we get someone who will walk over to us and ask for change. I thought bout what Steve might do if he ran into someone who needed help at the mall.
Stony friendship and course little Pepperony fluff mixed in.
I don't own the Avengers. I do own Amanda though and this story idea so least I own something.
"Mr. Stark, there is a young man outside the front door named Steve Rogers…he has a young woman with him" Jarvis told him. It been a month since the Chitari attack, which meant it was getting close to Christmas.
"Well, Stevey got himself a girlfriend and showing off…guess people can change Pep" he said and ran off to meet them.
Tony folded his arms with a huff of disappointment as he took in the 'young woman.' He had to try though. "Jeez Cap…" he said with a smirk. "Little young Capsicle…though I have to say I am impressed…" he added.
"Knock it off Stark…I'm not in a relationship with Amanda…she needs help" Steve said.
"Hey…I didn't ask him to do this Mr. Stark!" Amanda cut in quickly.
Steve looked briefly to her before giving Tony a pleading look. Tony rolled his eyes. "Oh god…you're such a boy scout" he muttered all his excitement drained.
The soldier was glad Ms. Potts immediately took over. "Don't be rude Tony…" she hissed. The genius rolled his eyes. "How can I? You never give me a chance to speak" he muttered. "That's because I know you" she muttered back.
"I knew I shouldn't have left my spot" Amanda muttered and turned to leave so Steve grabbed her arm. "Wait Amanda…please…"
"I'm fine Steve…I'm fifteen, I can take care of myself…I made it three days without food…a few more won't kill me…its obvious were just intruding" she hissed.
Steve sent another pleading look to Tony who sighed. "Now that just sounds unhealthy…" he said. "Come on in you two" Pepper added and gripping Tony's hand led them to the kitchen.
"Pep, feed the kid whatever she wants…Cap we need to talk" Tony said and led the way out of ear shot.
Tony simply smirked at him. "Charity work Captain? Really?" he asked and Steve sighed. "Give me a break Stark…she was working all day singing and playing her guitar…she made like three dollars" he replied.
Tony chuckled. "Welcome to the real world Rogers…" he said. "Please Tony…she was working to get her four year old sister a doll…so she didn't have to stop believing in Santa" Steve begged.
Tony sighed. "Fine…I'll help you boy scout…" he said and Steve smiled but then Tony folded his arms.
"However…" he said and glared at him while saying it. "You know I thought you of all people would least call their friends instead of just turning up" he scolded.
Steve smirked. "Would you have helped if I did?" he asked and Tony returned to his smirk. "Well played Rogers…come on lets get this kid a happy Christmas…" he said.
He put his arm around Steve and led him back to Amanda. She was still eating her nutritious dinner of two ham and cheese sandwiches, an apple, carrot sticks and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert.
"Thank you so much Mr. Stark…you didn't have too…"
Tony rolled his eyes. "Yeah right kid…did you see Caps puppy dog eyes?" he whispered to her and she giggled.
"Come on…if your finished we'll go buy your sister her doll" he said and Amanda smiled.
"Thank you…I'll pay you…"
"Not if your going to starve yourself till you die you won't…forget the money kid…just take this as my gift to you and enjoy it" he cut her off.
Tony was responded to that by the fifteen year olds arms around his waist and he patted her head. "All right…enough of this mushy crap…lets go" he said and led her out with Steve right behind them.
Tony bought the doll and four more things for Samantha. He then bought Amanda a few presents but didn't let her see what they were.
"Keep these under the tree till Christmas kid" he told her and she nodded.
Soon Amanda was driven home and Tony drove Steve back to his place.
"Thanks Stark…you're a better man than I thought"
"Yeah…don't get used to it Spangles…I'll see ya later" he responded and drove off.
That Christmas Amanda smiled as she pulled out her new laptop, Ipod and Iron man doll. Sometimes Tony did have a heart after all.
Shall I do more of these? Maybe use other characters but I'll need inspiration for them…hint hint.
