The annoying sound of the phone ringing that's all I could hear. I sighed angrily, and rolled over to my phone.

"Hello?" I said sleepily

"Lillie?" said the chipper voice of my cousin

"Pepper?" I asked slowly waking up.

"Oh good it is you I thought I had the wrong number" Pepper said happily and I rolled my eyes. The Potts family wasn't particularly close and we usually only called each other when someone died or when we needed something. Knowing that I was talking to Pepper the most accomplished person in our family, someone must have died.

"Nope you have the right number." I said trying to sound happy "So is everything alright? Nobody died did they?" I asked, and I heard Pepper giggle

"No silly I just wanted to call and talk to my favorite cousin that's all" Pepper said, and I sighed 'Yup she wants something' I thought before replying to her

"Ha ok so what is it that you wanted to talk about?" I asked coolly

"Well you know my boyfriend Tony Stark?" she asked

"Yup how could I forget?" I told her excitedly. Ever since the Avengers saved the world from those aliens all I wanted to do was meet them all, and knowing that someone in my family was dating one of them I actually had a chance.

"Yeah well we are no longer a couple" she said sadly, and I felt my heart sink

"Oh Pepper, I'm so sorry that must be terrible"

"Ehh it will be ok you know he was kind of a pig anyway" she said returning back to her chipper voice

"Well you'll still get to keep you job right?" I asked hopeful it would be awful if Pepper had to move back down to this dinky little city.

"Of course!" she giggled, and a feeling of relief washed over me

"Well that's great!" I said happily.

"Speaking of jobs Lillie I have a favor to ask you" Pepper said sweetly and bit my lip

"Ok what is it?" I mumbled

"How would you like to come to New York and be Tony's assistant for awhile, while I'm overseas?" she asked nervously. I blinked a few times astonished by what Pepper had just asked me "Lillie are you still there?" I heard Pepper's voice coming from my cell phone, and I had to shake my head

"Yeah I'm still here" I said quickly

"So what do you think? You will do it for me right?" She asked

"I don't know Pepper, New York is..."

"You'll be staying at Stark Towers, and the Avengers live there so you can meet them" she said quickly making me think about my answer.

"Really?" I asked not truly believing her

"Yes! And you'll get paid to! More than you can imagine!" She said excitedly, and again I had to think. Getting paid would be nice than I could pay off student loans and move out from my aunt and uncles.

"Ok" I said slowly, and there was a long pause "Pepper are you still there?" I asked,

"Yes!" Pepper shrieked making me move the phone away from my ear "Thank you Lillie you are truly a life saver!"

"When should I leave?" I asked

"Umm tomorrow?" Pepper said quietly.

"Tomorrow! Pepper that's impossible I haven't bought a plane ticket or packed or let your parents know yet!" I ranted worriedly and I heard Pepper giggle again

"No need to worry about the plane ticket, one of Tony's private jets will come and pick you up!" she said happily

"Jet fuel is a lot of money Pepper, it really quite stupid for a jet just to come down to Texas for one person!"

"No worries Tony is getting picked up from New Mexico tomorrow also so it will be in that area anyway. As for my parents I'm sure they will be more than happy to have you out of the house for a while especially for a job" Pepper said and I groaned

"Fine I will be ready by tomorrow what time?"

"Umm 5:30" she said unsure.

"Morning or evening?" I asked and Pepper again started laughing making me feel like an idiot

"In the evening. Tony usually doesn't get up till after noon anyway" and I sighed

"Alright. Well I have packing to do so I will talk to you later",

"Ok bye!" Pepper said hanging up.

After my conversation I felt drained and wanted to go back to bed but instead I got up and pulled out a large dusty suite case, and I started packing my entire wardrobe that would be acceptable for New York, and I didn't have much.
Tony Starks POV

I was tinkering around my make shift workshop when I heard my phone start ring. I sighed and rolled over to it. Doing everything for me was getting quite annoying. I missed being at Stark Towers where Jarvis would do this kind of stuff.

"Speak to me!" I said answering the phone

"Tony I have good news!" said the happy voice of my CEO/assistant/newly ex girl friend.

"And what is this so called good news?" I asked

"I found you a replacement assistant for when I'm overseas!" she said happily, and I rolled my eyes

"Does she meet the protocol?" I asked

"Of course she does she's my cousin newly out of college the sweetest little thing you'll ever meet." Pepper said in her matter-o- fact tone of voice.

"Name?" I asked "And I will be doing my own background check on her myself, just letting you know" I told her, and I knew for certain she would be rolling her eyes right now

"Her name is Lillie Potts, and do what you need to do Tony. But if she doesn't meet you qualifications you find a temporary assistant yourself" she snapped

"Yeah whatever, later!" I said hanging up the phone before she could reply. Quickly I rolled over to my computer

"Jarvis!" I called happy that he could still do what I needed him to do from my computer

"Sir?" he asked "Find whatever you can on Lillie Potts" I told him and a few seconds later he came back with results

"Lillie Potts, she is 25 years old, lives in a little town in Texas, graduated top of her high school class, and recently graduated from a community college with a masters in business"

"Parents?" I asked

"Died in a massive car accident when she was 12, and has been living with Ms. Pepper's parents ever since".

"Hmm that's interesting" I said to myself "Records"

"Her record is clean sir not even a speeding ticket" Jarvis came back immediately.

"Good, good picture?" I asked, and within moments a picture popped up on my screen. From what I could tell she was very attractive she had long auburn hair and light blue eyes and the same skin tone as Pepper

"Wow she's a looker" I said out loud "Jarvis call Pepper for me!" I asked

"Sir I am incapable of doing that here." Jarvis said sounding sad.

"Oh that's right!" I said picking up my phone to call Pepper.

"Yes Tony what can I help you with?" Pepper asked answering the phone almost immediately

"Inform your cousin that I will be coming to get her tonight, this convention is a drag"

"Tony I can't do that to her, she was already freaking out when I told her you were picking her up tomorrow!" Pepper scolded

"I don't care do it anyway, oh and tell her that I will be calling her before we pick her up!" I told Pepper

"But Tony…."

"Thanks you're a doll!" I said hanging up quite happy with my new assistant even if I hadn't met her yet.

Lillie Potts POV

I was finally finished. The packing for my god knows how long trip. I flopped down on my bed and sighed happily, now all there was to do was to relax and wait for my trip tomorrow. I was starting to doze off when my phone rang. I grumbled and picked it up

"Hello?" I said trying not to sound annoyed

"Hi Lillie! It Pepper!", and I shot straight up in my bed

"Oh hi." I sad surprised it had only been a few hours since our last call and I was worried

"How's the packing coming?" she asked, and I smiled feeling accomplished

"All fished and ready to go!" I said happily and she laughed

"That's great! And how did my parents take the new?" she asked actually sounding worried

"They were really happy for me and the thought it was a good experience for me" I said giggling. I heard Pepper sigh

"That's amazing news Lillie it really is…" she said trailing off.

"Pepper what's wrong?" I asked I knew my cousin quite well and I could tell something was up.

"Tony is coming to get you tonight Lillie, and I knew how freaked out you were about coming tomorrow" Pepper told me nervously. I was a little scared but Pepper sounded more freaked out than I did

"Oh well that's alright, the sooner the better right!" I said being overly happy.

"Lillie you are amazing!" I heard Pepper laugh

"Ha I try to be I laughed is there anything else I should know?" I asked and there was a pregnant pause

"Pepper?"

"Tony will be calling you within the hour to let you know when his driver will come on pick you up" she said quickly

"What!" I said again panicking like I was before

"Don't worry I'll make sure he's nice. Now I have to run Bye!"

"But Pepper!" I whined and the line went dead. Quickly I ended the call on my end and threw m phone on the bed angrily.

"Great now Tony Stark is going to be calling me." I said worriedly and started to pace, as all the things that could go wrong started to fill my head.

The hour was about to end and my nerves had calm down a lot, and I was starting to think Tony wasn't going to call. Slowly I sat down with my phone in hand and started to rest my eyes. Within minutes my phone was ringing. I took a deep breath

"Hello?" I said shakily

"Is this Lillie Potts?" said a deep husky voice that flowed through my ears like honey and a warm summer day.

"This is?" I said now calm,

"Ok good this is Tony Stark, your new boss" he said coolly.

"Oh umm ok..." I said not knowing what to say

"Right well Im just letting you know that one of my drivers will be there to pick you up in 10 minutes, be ready" he said sounding less than enthused

"Ok, but how do you know"

"Great glad you'll be ready, bye" he said cutting me off and hanging up before I had a chance to reply.

Shocked at what had just happened, and how rude he was. Slowly I dragged my bags to the front door, I never was strong but with was pathetic I couldn't even lift my own bags. Once I got everything to the front door I was breathing heavily,

"Wow am I out of shape!" I said to myself panting.

*Ding Dong* the door bell sounded; quickly I got up from my place on the floor and opened the door

"Yes?" I said trying to even out my breathing

"Are you Lillie Potts?" asked a large man dressed in a black suit and had black sun glasses on

"I am? Can I help you?" I asked feeling a little scared.

"I'm the driver Tony Stark hired to bring you to the air port" he said gruffly.

"Oh ok." I said feeling a rush of relief "Let me just get my things." I said nervously knowing I can't lift them

"I will get them" he said in a monotone. I nodded and point to them stepping to the side so he could get them, and in a single swipe he had all of my thing.

"Let's go" he said walking out of my house and I quickly followed him out to a black car with deeply tinted windows. Slowly I climbed in and made myself comfortable knowing the closest airport was 20 miles away.

"Ready?" the man asked as he started the car

"Umm yes?" I said not knowing why he was asking me, and he nodded before speeding up. Even if I couldn't see the speedometer I could tell we were going way over the speed limit

"You might want to slow down!" I said feeling a little queasy, but the man didn't seem to hear me and kept going at the speed he was going. 'Well at least I'll get to the airport faster' I said trying to make the best of my situation, and within minutes we were pulling on to a large a platform in the back of the airport with a large jet setting on it.

When the car was finally stopped I got out of the car and took a deep breath before walking to the large jet with a man dressed in a beautiful suit. From what I could see he had a tanned skin tone and lovely black hair that was in disarray. This man was perfect and I hoped to god it was another one of Tony's body guards, I mean how awkward would be if I thought Pepper's ex boy friend was good looking. As I got closer to the man I could see a grin pasted on his face

"You must be Lillie?" said the voice that I recognized from the phone call I had just a few moments ago "Shit! This is Tony!" I thought angrily but you couldn't tell that from the outside.

"Yes that's me" I said smiling "And you must be Tony Stark" I said sweetly.

"The one and only" he said looking at me up and down, which made me very mad I hated being looked at like a piece of meat.

"See something you like?" I asked coldly and Tony smiled

"Yes" and then he turned around to walk up the steps to the plane, and I just stood there like an idiot 'Had Tony Stark just say what I think he said' I thought confused

"Are you coming beautiful?" I heard Tony's voice from inside the plan. I took a deep breath and then walked up the stairs to go into the plane with two thoughts in my head 'What did I get myself into' and 'It's going to be along flight'.
