"We're good to go on this end." Tony said. "The rest is up to you."

"You disconnected the transmission line? Are we off the grid?" I asked Tony. I was on the top floor in the Stark Tower. Jarvis pulled up a screen in front of me for me that had a diagram of the tower.

"Stark Tower is about to become a beacon of self sustaining clean energy."

"Well, assuming that the arc reactor takes over and actually works."

"I assume. Light her up." I typed in a code in the transparent keyboard in front of me and pressed enter.

"How does it look?"

"It's like Christmas but with a little more…me." I laughed.

"We need to go wider on the public awareness campaign. You need to do some press. Pepper is going to DC tomorrow. I'm going back to Malibu tomorrow. Um, there's a meeting Fri…"

"Amber, you're killing me. The moment, remember? Enjoy the moment." I looked outside to see Tony land on the balcony.

"Get in here and we will." I looked back at the screen as Tony came into the room and made his way to me. "Levels are holding steady."

"Of course they are." Tony flicked the screen away and stood in front of me. "I was directly involved. Which brings me to my next question, how does it feel to be a genius?" I laughed.

"I wouldn't really know, now would I?"

"What do you mean? All this, came from your freaky little chemistry brain."

"No, all this came from that." I tapped the reactor in the middle of his chest.

"Don't forget you have one too." He returned the tap on my reactor.

"It takes more physics than it does chemistry. And I'm no physics expert. You are."

"Give yourself some credit. Please. Stark Tower is your baby. Give yourself…12 percent of the credit."

"12 percent?"

"In argument for fifteen." I walked away from him and sat down on the couch.

"12 percent my baby?"

"Well, I did do most of the heavy lifting. Literally, I lifted all the heavy things. And sorry but the security snafu? That's on you." He came over and sat down beside me. "My private elevator."

"You mean our elevator."

"It was teaming with sweaty workmen. I'm gonna pay for that comment about the percentages in some subtle way later on, aren't I?"

"Not going to be that subtle."

"I'll tell you what. Next building is going to say Pricing on the tower."

"On the lease." I leaned in to kiss him but he pulled away and let out a hissing noise, not sure if that was what he wanted to hear. I laughed again.

"Sir, the telephone." Jarvis said. "I'm afraid my protocol is being overridden."

"Stark, we need to talk." Phil said over the phone. Tony picked up his phone and held it out in front of him. A picture of Phil Coulson was on the screen.

"You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark. Please leave a message." Tony said.

"This is urgent."

"Then leave it urgently." The elevator opened and Phil walked out. "Security breach."

"Mr. Stark."

"Phil," I greeted him, getting up from the couch and walking to him. "Come in."

"Phil?" Tony questioned me as he followed behind me.

"Can't stay." Phil said.

"Uh, his first name is Agent."

"Come on in." I said. "We're just celebrating."

"Which is why you can't stay." Tony forced an irritated smile at Phil.

"We need you to look this over as soon as possible." Phil said as he handed Tony a tablet. Tony looked down at it with disgust.

"I don't like being handed things."

"That's fine because I love to be handed things." I said, taking the tablet from Phil. I took the white Russian drink from Tony. "Thank you." I handed him the tablet as I took a sip of the drink. I shook my head as the alcohol burned my throat. Ugh, too much Vodka.

"Consulting hours are between eight and five every other…Thursday."

"This isn't a consultation." Phil said.

"Is this about the Avengers?" I asked and Phil stared at me. "Which I know nothing about." Tony walked away from us to his desk.

"The Avengers initiative was scrapped, I though. And I didn't even qualify."Tony said.

"I did not know that either."

"Apparently, I'm volatile, self obsessed, don't play well with others."

"That I did know."

"This isn't about personality profiles anymore." Phil said.

"Whatever. Miss Pricing, you got a second?"

"Excuse me." I walked over to Tony's side.

"You know, I thought we were having a moment."

"Oh, I was having 12 percent of the moment." He looked at me. "This seems serious. Phil's pretty shaken."

"How would you know if it's...Why is he Phil?" I looked down at the tablet at different articles and information, ignoring Tony's questions.

"What is all this?"

"This is uh…" Tony wiped his hand over the tablet and flung the articles into the air. "This." Captain America was on one side of the screen. The hulk on the other side.

"I'm going to take the jet to Malibu tonight."

"Tomorrow."

"You have homework. You have a lot of homework."

"Well, what if I didn't?"

"If you didn't? You mean, if you finish. Then," I looked shyly over Phil then back at Tony. I stood on my toes and whispered in Tony's ear. "Then, you can come home and we can have some fun in the dark." I rocked back down onto my heels.

"Square deal. Fly safe." I kissed him and he deepened the kiss, wanting more. I pulled away from him and started to head to the elevator.

"Work hard." I turned and headed back to Phil who stepped aside and allowed me to walk into the elevator first. "So, any chance you're driving by LaGuardia?"

"I can drop you." Phil said.

"Fantastic. Oh, I want to hear about the cellist. Is that still a thing?"

"She moved back to Portland."

"What? Boo!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA

I walked up to the jet and was about to get on when my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket and answered it.

"Don't tell me that you're already done with the homework, are you?" I asked Tony.

"Well, uh, no, I'm not." Tony said. "But we got a situation in Central Park."

"What is it?"

"Uh, Captain America needs our help."

"What is Captain America doing in New York?"

"Amber, can you just meet me there? I'm going to back Captain up. I need you there to back me up. Ok?"

"Fine. I'll be there in ten minutes." I hung up. I pulled out a small round disc from my pocket and tossed it onto the ground where it expanded enough so I could step onto it. As soon as I stepped onto it, metal began clinging to my legs and started to cover me in my suit. Once it was done, I flipped my mask down and took flight. I headed to Central Park and saw a large black airplane hovering over the park. I dove and landed beside Tony in the center of the park. Captain America was on the other side of him and a man was kneeling before us, hands up in surrender.

"Mr. Stark," Captain greeted him. "Miss Pricing."

"Captain." Tony and I returned the greeting.

"Some help that you need here." I said.

"What? I could have needed some help." Tony said.

"Yeah, right. Legendary Tony Stark needs help from his assistant. Yeah, remind me to tell Rhodey that the next time we see him."
