Pepper Potts knew the moment that Natasha introduced her to Special Agent Clinton "Clint" Barton that he and Tony would make quick friends. Any man that introduced himself with "Clint Barton, I shoot things," with a wink and a cocky smile would get along famously with the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. Or at least Pepper hoped they would, Tony could use a friend like Clint. So when Phil Coulson showed up at the nearly completed Stark Tower with a mission for not only Tony and the Iron Man but the Avengers her heart stopped when she saw Clint and Natasha's images playing on the screen; not only her boyfriend but two of her other friends were also going to be closely involved with the dangers lurking on the horizon.

After the battle when she went to visit Tony in the SHEILD Medical Unit he wasn't in his room, but in Clint's chuckling at the archers joke as she knocked lightly on the open door. Tony turned around and smiled, "Hey Pepper, I'd like you to meet my friend Hawkeye or Clint, do you prefer Clint? Frankly I think Legolas fits you the best but you know it's your title."

Pepper laughed and waved at Clint who winked back, "Yes, Clint and I have already been introduced," She admitted walking up to the foot of his bed, "I'm glad to see that the both of you made it out alive."

"Thanks Pepper." Clint smiled.

"Whoa wait, back up a moment. How exactly do the two of you know each other? Have you been sneaking around behind my back with this guy Pepper? Not that I would blame you he is gorgeous." Tony rambled and Pepper could have sworn that she saw Clint try to hide a blush.

"Of course not, Our Russian friend introduced us a while back." Pepper explained.

Tony nodded and reached out for her hand, pulling her closer, "It's good that the two of you get along then because I've had a brilliant idea for redecorating the tower."

"Oh really, what would that be Mr. Stark?" Pepper asked leaning against his wheelchair.

"I was thinking that instead of it being Stark Tower that it might just need a new, less pretentious name. You know something like Avengers Tower." Tony gleamed.

Clint laughed, "Yeah, totally not pretentious at all."

"I don't like you sarcasm Agent Barton." Tony sassed back.

Pepper rolled her eyes, "I think it's a great idea, 6 completely average superheroes living together in the middle of New York. What could possibly go wrong?"
