Tony had just finished one of the most boring meetings of his life, although all the meetings he actually went to were boring, and in his opinion a complete waste of time, time that could be spent upgrading one of his suits, or even making designs for a new one, just saying.

But he apparently had to go since he didn't go to the last meeting, or the one before that, or the one before that, and the one before- okay you get the point. All they ever talked about was the progression in sales and the efficiency of the company blah blah blah. He had to sit there and listen to them go on and on about stupid shit like that, when all he wanted to do was go home and bury himself in his workshop for the rest of the week, or even the rest of the year, but Tony knew he wouldn't be that lucky.

Tony pressed the elevator button and backed up till he was leaning against the opposite wall, he gave a sigh when a young woman in a grey skirt and white blouse came running towards him, well as much as she could in heels, apologising whenever she bumped into someone.

Tony smiled and shook his head, newbies.

The newbie halted when she spotted Tony, breathing deeply she walked up to him. "Excuse me Mr Stark" she said pushing a stray hair from her face.

"Yes that's me, how may I help you gorgeous"

"Um, Miss Potts asked me to give you these papers for you to sign" she said blushing and averting he's eyes.

"Did she now" he said condescendingly pushing himself off the wall.

Tony grabbed the papers from her flicking through them. Tony groaned internally, it was just the same old crap, oh well might as well get this done, Tony pulled out a pen and stated signing the papers.

"There you go" he said smiling at her handing back the papers.

"Thank you Mr Stark" she said smiling back at him then turned and started running the other way.

Tony chuckled to himself as he entered the elevator.

...

It had been almost 6 months since the battle of New York, and everything had gotten back to normal. Well except that that pepper had broken up with him and was also avoiding him, he had the "avengers" living in his tower. Oh and there was the fact that he was fighting super-villains on a regular basis, so he was basically working for shield, but apart from that everything had gotten back to normal.

They started to rebuild the city after shield had given the government the okay when they had removed most of the Chitauri bodies out of New York, the other super-villains had probably gotten the rest.

Tony himself had to renovate his tower after the hulk had made a Loki shaped crater in his living room. The Assgardian bros had messed up the front. Bruce had come into his lab one day and apologised for the living room. Tony told him it's fine, he even made a joke about how he was going to dig up the crater and sell it on eBay. Bruce had smiled at that he said "there probably would be people out there that would want a piece of Loki as a souvenir", Tony smiled at the memory, ah Bruce.

...

Tony pulled into his garage and parked his Acura in-between his Audi R8 and his shelby cobra.

Surrounded by music when he stepped into the elevator pressing the button to his workshop, Tony leaned back hands braced on the bar.

"Hey Jarv bring out the roadster"

"Yes sir"

Tony smiled, home sweet home, what could go wrong.
