Own Nothing
Smile
Tony Stark was exhausted, he was worn out, bruised and his suit was dented. He stopped off at her garage to take it off before heading to the showers he had in there. He showered and changed into clean clothes. He wished that he had someone to help me feel better. Clint had Natasha, though they tried to deny it, Jane and Thor and even Captain fucking America had someone, his Pepper. Pepper upon meeting the good old American boy had fallen instantly in love. So Tony was now stuck to himself.
He walked through the living room door with all intents and purposed to just crash into his bed, and maybe find some way to make himself happy to relieve the stress. "Hey Tony!" He heard a drunken cry from the couch. He arched an eyebrow and walked over to see Darcy actually just sitting on the floor next the couch watcher a show. "You're back!" She smiled up at him.
He smirked at her and sat down on the couch next to her. "Whatcha doing there Kid?"
She scrunched up her nose; he knew that she didn't like being called kid. "I am drinking." She held up and shot glass. "And watching Doctor Who."
"Doctor Who?" He asked.
She nodded. "Dude, it's only the best British television show in the world!" She filled up her shot glass and another she had on the table. "Every time they say a catch phrase or just yell 'Doctor' you take a shot." She handed him the second glass. "You playing?"
He shrugged. "Why not, I could use a drink." They turned to watch the show, waiting for the magic words to be said.
"I'm sure that you are not amused Mum." The blonde haired girl stated in the show.
Tony watched as Darcy took a shot, she looked up to him to see him make the same. He followed suit and she refilled the glasses. "Some catch phrases changes, this one is Rose trying to get Queen Victoria to say she isn't amused."
"Why?" Tony asked as he slid onto the floor. He took another shot, ignoring Darcy's looks. "What? Just trying to catch up to you."
She snorted and turns back to the episode, the werewolf chasing them through the house, they were trapped in the library within seconds and Rose tried the phrase again, which prompted shots to be taken. Another twenty minutes the episode was over and Darcy took the Wii remote and changed to the next episode. "I was worried, you know?"
Tony raised an eyebrow as he took another shot, staring at her, but she refused to look him in the eyes. "About the Avengers? Hey Kid, we got everyone home safely."
"I don't worry about Thor or Steve." She took another shot before she pushed play. "I don't even worry about Dr. Banner. I worry about you, Clint and Natasha." She looked at him briefly before turning away. "You're only human and it's not like you guys have special powers to heal quickly or bounce an attack off of you, if you're hurt, you're hurt."
He didn't say anything as they turned to watch the show, drinking every time the name 'Smith' was stated or someone shouting 'Doctor' they took two shots. Tony was really surprise to see Darcy holding her Liquor the way she did, she acted like it was soda to her. She paused the movie when her phone went off, she sighed and answered it.
"Hey Mom…it's great, best one yet…. no they took me out…just got back from dinner…. I didn't feel like having a huge party this year…. okay, well I got to go…love you to." She turned her phone off and through it behind her on the couch and pushed play, ignoring his stares. "What?" She finally asked.
"Did you just lie to your Mom?" He asked her, smirking.
"How do you tell your Mom that you work with a gang of super heroes? I can't, because I signed a 'they own my soul and for my silence I get to live in a mansion with smart and sexy men and unlimited amount of pop-tarts." She took another shot and continued to watch the show.
"So what did you lie to her about?" Tony asked, after waiting for over twenty minutes. By this time they had taken over ten shots and he knew that they both would be getting a hang over in the morning.
"That you took me out for my birthday." She stated, not looking at him.
"Today is your birthday?" He asked, shocked, JARVIS didn't inform him, and neither did Pepper.
She shook her head. "Two days ago, it's just been so busy, no one has noticed. So I took celebrated into my own hands, it's better then being like Pepper and Jane and worry about if you guys are safe." She shrugged and stretched her arms upward and she stretched her legs out. "For the past seven hours I've been watching Doctor Who episodes and drinking to drone out the worry." She looked up at him and sighed. "You look exhausted, you should get some rest. You did a man's work today." She took another shot.
"I could say the same for you." He stated.
"I don't have to work tomorrow, it's the weekend, but you Sir look like you're going to crash any second." She gave him a smiled before standing up to help him up. She helped pull him up to stand, balancing him. "Good, now brush your teeth, take aspirin and go to bed." She walked into the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of pills and a packet it of pop-tarts. "You should probably eat something to."
"God's most amazing gift." He joked as he opened the bottle, popping two pills in his mouth.
Darcy smirked and shook her head. "Naww, I think smart, sexy men are God's gift to the world." She took the pill bottle so Tony could open the pop-tarts.
He smirked down at her. "So you think that I'm God's gift to women?"
"I said world." She stated as she took a piece of his pop-tart, eating it. "You know, you're right."
"So I am God's gift?"
"No pop-tarts are, they're pretty amazing." She smiled up at him. "Good night Tony."
He smiled at her and leaned down to kissed her on the cheek; he reached his arm around and spanked her butt. "Just one of the many birthday spankings you'll be getting." He teased before he stepped back and walked to his room. "Don't stay up to late!"
She shook her head at him before sitting back down to watch the end of the episode. She yawned and stretched again, she turned the TV and Wii off when the episode ended and went to bed after cleaning up.
Darcy woke up with a loud knock on her door and even louder head ache. She groaned and three a pillow at the door. "Go away! It's Saturday!" She buried herself under her blankets and closed her eyes tightly but the knocking continued. "JARVIS!" Darcy shouted. "Who is at my door?"
"It appears Miss Lewis that Thor is knocking." The A.I stated.
Darcy groaned and crawled out of bed, search for a pair of pants and opened the door. "Yea Big-guy?"
"Jane wants to me fetch you, there seems to be a problem in the living room."
Darcy rubbed her hands over her face. "What? I cleaned up all the alcohol last night, even washed the dishes. How can there be a problem?" She walked out of her room and her and Thor walked down to the living room.
She stopped at the doorway, looking around, eyes wide. "What the hell?" She asked, seeing all the birthday balloons, presents and decorations in the living room.
"Darcy!" Jane called from the Kitchen. She walked out the kitchen with a plate of breakfast. "You didn't say it was your birthday." Her face showed that she was hurt.
Darcy's heart broke. "There was an attack on New York, and then another attack, it wasn't like I could blurt it out when we had other pressing matters to handle." She sighed. "Besides, my actual birthday was like three days ago."
"That doesn't make it any better Darcy." Steve stated, bring her a plate of breakfast. Steve made the best breakfasts. It was always his turn on Saturdays. "Eat and you can open your gifts."
"Where did all this come from?" She asked, standing there with a plate. She looked at everything for another second before walking to sit on the couch.
"Pepper said she got a call this morning to let people in to set things up for a birthday party and she was confused." Steve stated. "Her and Tony are at a Stark business meeting now so they're missing this."
Darcy nodded as she ate her food, staring at everything as her friends hurried up and finished their food to. Within twenty minutes Darcy was on the floor like a only child on Christmas, all the gifts only for her. She had gotten new dresses, work clothes, party clothes, a new phone, the Stark version of the Ipad, which was much cooler by the way. And so much more. She even got a car. "We live in New York, who got me a car?" She asked them, confused. "Love it though!" She smiled.
It was later that night and they ate as a family and there was cake, cake was actually delivered to the mansion for her. It was her favorite to, red velvet with whip cream instead of cream cheese icing. She was in heaven. She was the only on left in the living room, so late at night, she had finished the dishes and cleaned up some from the all day partying and set down to watch another episode of Doctor Who.
She was stretched out on the couch when Tony came into the room. "Hey Kid." He smiled down at her. "Look at what I brought for you."
She sighed and smiled up at him. "I wanted to say thanks for everything else to, way to make a girl feel special."
"Yea well, at least you don't have to lie to your Mom now, it really was your best birthday ever." He picked up her legs and sat down, letting them lay on him. "I brought this for you, flew to England after the board meeting."
She raised an eyebrow and sat up, she scooted closer to him and took the gift. She gave him a look before opening it. It was a tenth Doctor Who action figure with a David Tennant autograph. Her eyes grew to saucers as she stared up at him.
"How did you?"
"I asked him to sign it and I gave him and his wife a few of mine to. Their baby is really cute." He shrugged. "I actually might want to have kids on day. Maybe."
"You just walked up to David Tennant's door and knocked?" She asked him. "You just knocked and asked for an autograph, for me?" She looked down to see her name on the box.
He shrugged and turned to watch the Doctor Who episode with interest. He tired to ignore her stares but he finally felt weird with her staring at him, and he was used to people staring at him. "Look Darcy, it's just a small gift, compare to the others I gave you." He turned to look at her.
She flung her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. She pulled back, blushing. "Thank you, this means the world to me." She kissed him again. "Thank you."
He smirked, giving her a wink. "I still have all those birthday spankings I promised you to."
