!ATTENTION READ PLEASE!

I do not own anything besides the plot to this story.

Tony Stark Does Have a Heart

Darcy looked up from the video she had been watching when she noticed a change in the lighting. Believe her, she had been staring at the screen long enough to notice the difference. Adjusting her eyes as she turned around she blinked in shock when the towers resident billionaire came into sight.

Maybe she had been staring at the screen longer than she thought? Tony never, emphasis on never, came out of the dungeon he called his workshop. They had to forcibly drag him away usually from whatever project he was working on.

The fact that Tony was standing before her was concerning, but for him to be this quiet was just plain disturbing. Darcy eyed him warily before turning around to pause the cat video she had been watching. It cut off mid meow, making her want to pout. Kittens were just so cute. Giving Tony her full attention, she watched as he fidgeted with something in his hands.

Was Tony Stark nervous?

"What's up Man Of Iron?" she asked curiously, spinning around in her computer chair. He didn't answer. Narrowing her eyes, Darcy popped the gum she had been chewing. There was a mystery afoot and she hated mysteries. Just ask her good friend Clint. He still can't look at her without flinching.

"I've modified the taser for you," Tony said, almost as if they were talking about the weather. He seemed to hesitate before giving her the thing he had been messing with. She cautiously took it, not trusting it to not be some sort of prank. Everyone knew to be careful around the things Tony handed you, because 9/10 it was bound to explode on you.

When it happened to someone else it could be the funniest thing ever. At least, until, you were just chilling in the kitchen and Tony handed you what seemed like a toaster. Only before you realized what had happened, it blew up in your face. Natasha almost crushed Tony with her thighs for that incident.

"Is it going to explode on me or something?" she asked, holding it with the tips of her fingers as she stared at it. Tony gave an offended snort pointing to himself with disbelief on his face.

"Now would I ever do something like that to you?" Darcy gave him a look.

"Ha, have you been taking lessons from Pepper on the 'I don't trust you Tony' or the classic 'What did you do now?' face?" Tony laughed when she didn't reply, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably. It seemed like she had been.

In Darcy's honest opinion Pepper Potts was probably the coolest person ever, excluding present company and Natasha. She might have a little bit of a hero worship thing going on. She hoped it wasn't noticeable when she would just…like stare whenever Pepper walked into the room. She had such a no nonsense attitude and knew how to get what she wanted.

Also Darcy may have been the person who started the #KickassPepper tag on Twitter some weeks ago. She didn't regret it. Everyone needed to know exactly who was going to be their Overlord in a few short years.

All Hail Pepper.

"Look, you asked me a while ago to modify your taser and improve it, so I did," he finally admitted.

"Oh, I didn't think you would ever actually do it," Darcy said, a warm feeling creeping up on her. Who knew Tony Stark could be so sweet?

(Also that warm feeling may be a fever creeping on her. A couple of days ago she had decided to show Thor how much fun it was to dance in the rain. There may have been some singing and choreographed dance moves. Who knew Thor could move his hips that way? Jane was one lucky woman.)

"I only did it because you asked nicely," he remarked, a smirk on his face.

They stared at each other in silence for a couple of seconds. She raised an eyebrow at him, hand on her hip.

"Besides, my version is so much better than the crappy one you had."

"Oh okay. I believe you Tony. It's not like you had other reasons for doing this right?"

Tony seemed to become less tense at her words, almost like he felt as if he was out of the field of fire. Oh how wrong he was.

"Actually, I want to take back my previous statement," she mused out loud, stroking her chin in thought. "I think it's because you actually care for me and are concerned for me. This taser is the only way I can defend myself, because lets face it, I'm not physically strong."

Darcy stared at him, a wicked gleam in her eyes. She would get this man to admit that he had feelings even if she had to get Natasha to hold him down with her Thighs of Wonder.

"Tony Stark does not care for anyone!" he said, a finger pointed in the air dramatically. With that last comment, he turned on his heel and walked out of the room in a huff.

'Natasha it was.' She thought with a smirk, before letting it drop from her face.

"Oh who are you joking? You do care," Darcy whispered, her face softening and a smile appearing.

He may not act like it, but Tony Stark was a softy at heart. He just really didn't know how to show it and honestly probably didn't feel comfortable doing it. Howard Stark wouldn't get the father of the year award, that's for sure.

Now she wasn't saying he was perfect because he wasn't. Not everyone could be like Bruce Banner let's be honest. The thing with Tony was that he TRIED. He tried so hard that sometimes he would go hours without sleep trying to come up with a new advancement for the medical field that would help thousands one day.

Tony Stark had a heart.

Darcy gave a laugh and turned her computer chair back around, sitting the taser on the table.

"Your boss sure is something," she remarked to the A.I. as she got comfortable in the chair.

"That is something I cannot disagree with," J.A.R.V.I.S. stated. Darcy held back a snort of humor at the tone in his voice.

"You would have so totally just rolled your eyes if you had a body." She grinned at the ceiling before adopting a serious look on her face, "Did you get what I asked done?"

"Yes Miss Darcy. I have created a 'lolz cat' folder and added the videos you asked of me to it. Steve Rogers should be able to easily find it on his desktop."

"Who knew it would be so fun to educate Captain America on this century?" She mused quietly to herself before sitting up in her sit and typing something on the computer.

"Anyway, thanks buddy! I knew I could count on you! You are the best!" she gushed before saying, "Also, call me Darcy."

"Of course...Darcy."

"You know, I have a feeling that this is the start of a beautiful friendship. Now, play one of the videos you added to the file." A grin now on her face, Darcy leaned back in her seat and kicked her feet up onto the desktop.

"Aw cat no."

"I SWEAR TO THOR CLINT YOU BETTER GET OUT OF THE CEILING VENTS RIGHT NOW! I WILL TELL NATASHA!"

Please review I am a hungry college student. They feed me.
