Well, that is one place Tony wouldn't ever think he would be: distributing wedding invites to S.H.I.E.L.D agents. Firstly, marriage is not a word that could be found in Stark's vocabulary four years ago. But since he started dating Pepper, that word became a possibility and then a fact after he realized he didn't wanted to let her go. Secondly, he was now friends with "well dressed policemen". Not just that, he was the official janitor for the Avengers.

Tony was able to escape the decoration choice for the wedding, but Pepper made him responsible for delivering the invites for their S.H.I.E.L.D friends. He quickly saw the bright side of that task, floors and floors of secret Intel.

After two years of the HIDRA incident, S.H.I.E.L.D was fighting to get back on their feet. With a significantly reduced staff, there were smaller bases and fewer missions. But the agency was still trying to fight crime, mostly HIDRA.

He stands in the hall of the main base of the organization, after struggling getting pass the receptionist. Tony tried to be nice, because Fury said that if he trespassed again, his ass was going to end in jail. That was when he saw something.

The ample white hall of the base was full of people, but Stark's eye focused on one particular bald head, which started to move hurriedly. Tony started walking fast after the blur.

That blur saw Tony, then grabbed Skye's arm and run to the fire escape.

"What the hell, Coulson?" the young agent complained as the man dragged her away from the hall.

"Avenger in the base" Coulson muttered going up the stairs.

"What? Who? Cap? Widow? THOR?!" Skye fangirled while turning her head to try to see something down the stairs.

"Stark."

"Awesome."

Tony run to the stairs and struggled to catch up with the agents. Coulson and Skye stopped at the fifth floor, and run through the hallways. Stark cursed the days those stairs were built, and ignored all the weird faces the agents made as he run as fast as he could.

Fifteen minutes later, Skye stopped to breath. She sat on the floor and Coulson tried to pull her by the arm. "Skye, move!"

"I can't move my legs."

"I know you ran a lot more while training with May, you just want to see Stark." Coulson starred her.

She opened a guilty smile.

"Coulson! I know is you!" Tony appeared at the end of the hallway and threw himself in the floor next to Skye. "Hi, there!"

"What's up?" the girl nodded with a grin in her face.

"Now, where the hell have you been?" Stark questioned having trouble to breathe "We all thought you were dead for years, were you having a midlife crises or something? Being best friends with a kid? No offense."

"Not taken" Skye replied laughing.

"Ok, ok. I have kept this from you from a long time now, -"

"Yeah, four years!" the billionaire interrupted.

"Do you want an explanation or not? If you are just going to complain of how you missed me, I'm going to my meeting." The man babbled.

"Calm down, deceased" Stark glared at Coulson.

The older agent convinced the Tin Men to talk somewhere more private. Skye followed them, because she didn't want to miss all the fun. They went to the upper floors, thankfully this time they used the elevator. The Not-So-Dead-Men explained to Stark what happened; well roughly, T.A.H.I.T.I was and always would be a secret. The billionaire starred at Coulson emotionless.

"Considering the fact that you lied to me during all these years, and I thought we were friends, you are now forced to appear at my wedding. Peps is going to be really happy, and everybody else reaction is going to be priceless" argued the groom.

"I would love to come, but I'm now responsible for my team, and as I told you I direct a sector of the agency."

"Your team is welcome, how many are they?"

"Me, May, Simmons, Fitz, Mack, Bobbi, Hunter… Seven." Skye replied smiling.

"Perfect. The wedding is in three months, see you all there" Tony Stark grinned and handed them an invitation. "Now, where is Fury's office?"
