Tony Stark was having a fucking terrible week, and it was only Friday yet. Two more days available to be absolutely shitty in that week, and that was the way they looked like they were going to go. Nothing seemed to be going the way he wanted it to, and it was all the fault of one man, Steve Rogers. Or at least that's what the billionaire was telling himself as he tossed back yet another shot of rum. The man seemed to be set on butting in to every aspect of his life, which well, wasn't going very well at the moment anyway, and he hated it. The terrible week, like most terrible weeks, had started on a Monday.
The Monday had seemed innocent enough, starting out with him getting up around noon… Nice and early. He dressed in one of his favourite suits, then wandered down into the kitchen. It seemed Pepper had left him a note, along with instructions on how to heat up his breakfast, which Tony rolled his eyes at, shaking his head. It wasn't like he'd forget how to operate a microwave… The dark haired man put his plate in the machine after picking off the vegetables with a fork, then had to quickly stop the microwave, to open the door and remove the fork, before it blew the machine up. Well, Tony mused, there would be absolutely no reason to tell Pepper about that particular incident…
He managed to get his breakfast heated up, then ate it, munching on some blueberries, as well as the reheated bacon and eggs. Tony then checked his email and his text messages, deleting them all without replying, besides the couple from Pepper, which he took the time to reply to with clever smart ass comments before putting his phone away and walking down to the R&D floor, where Bruce Banner was working on some particle physics.
"Ah! What the- Oh… Hello Tony…" Bruce startled, then rolled his eyes as Tony had slipped up beside him and used a electromagnet to pull the metal pen out of the other scientist's hand. He took the pen back, finishing jotting down the equation before turning to give his friend a small smile. "Good morning, is it Tony?"
"Afternoon, really… It is after the hour of twelve noon, though the argument could be made that since I did just wake up it is actually morning for me, but it would be a pretty shitty argument." he shrugged, popping a berry in his mouth. "Whatcha writing there anyway?" he leaned in, reading the numbers and letters the shorter man had written down, taking the pen and making a new line of figures below the one he had. "See?"
Bruce leaned in close beside him, nodding and pushing his glasses up a little. "Yeah… But then if I substitute in something else for x it doesn't actually work anymore…. We need it to work with any number, not just the even ones." he sighed, rubbing his face, at which time Tony took advantage of his open mouth and closed eyes to place a berry in his mouth.
"Mm! Hey!" the doctor chuckled, pulling away a little and chewing the fruit, swallowing it and clearing his throat. "Next one just… hand it to me, okay?" he raised a brow, looking at the other man with an amused smile before looking over to Steve, who'd just walked in, and was frowning at them. "If you two would act like mature adults for once, we have a problem."
The captain walked over, offering what was in his hand to Tony, who shook his head, muttering, "I don't get handed things, Steve…" To which the blonde man rolled his eyes, handing Bruce the folder with S.H.E.I.L.D's insignia on the cover, and leaned on the counter, looking at the scientist with disdain before turning his gaze back to Tony. "Look, there's been a string of robberies in the area lately, and yeah, I know this wouldn't be your type of thing Tony, usually I would deal with it myself, with the NYPD's help… But I thought you might want to get involved."
The billionaire frowned, then raised a brow, walking a little closer to the blonde. "So, captain dramatic, you gonna tell me what's going on, or are you waiting for some flashing lights for your big reveal?"
"They're using your old guns Tony… Stark industries stuff from a few years back.. We don't know how they're getting a hold of them, but the entire gang is using Stark technology… All of them." He gestured to the pictures Tony was now flipping through, then glanced over to Bruce again before speaking once more. "We need Iron Man, Tony… Will you come with me, please?"
Tony handed Bruce back the folder then nodded to Steve, giving a little smile, though his eyes were still very serious. "Yeah, just let me get changed….I don't think this is the right suit for the job." he chuckled, gesturing to his clothing. The captain nodded, and took the folder back, telling Tony he'd wait for him downstairs.
After he got into the Iron Man suit, Tony met him downstairs, and flew over the car as they headed down the way to where the bank robbers were just arriving to meet with their accomplices. Tony blew up their car with the repulsors in his hands, then Cap was able to capture the one who seemed to be the ringleader of that particular group of gangsters, while the others were occupied with trying to fight off Tony with their Stark guns.
They took the gang, or at least the part of it that was there, into custody, the police captain thanking Tony and Steve before sending them on their way. "I'm going to head back home… Maybe Bruce isn't finished the experiment yet and I can see how that turns out…"
"I thought maybe we could possibly spend some time together though… Catch a football game or something at the local bar…"Steve waved his hand dismissively as if to say it wasn't a big deal. "I know you don't like me very much Tony, but I think the group dynamic might work a little better if I knew more about you…"
"Look… Cap… No offense, but I'd rather be working on physics. Maybe another time blondie." Tony gave a little smile, then flew back to the tower, landing and quickly changing back into his suit before heading back to join Bruce in the lab. Pepper called though, half way through Tony's play by play of the fight, so he stepped back and answered his phone…
"Hey Pepper!" he grinned into the phone, "Listen, I'm a little busy right now… Just got back in-"
"Yes, I saw on the news… Tony, you forgot again, didn't you?" She sighed into the phone, exasperation tingeing the tone of her voice.
"Umm…. Did you want me to pick up something? Or… Ah.." Tony scrambled to remember what it was that he had been supposed to remember, his fingers tapping on his elbow as he paced a little.
"We had a lunch date Tony… I'll see you when I get home… If you're not busy." she sighed, hanging up on the very confused man, who stared at his phone for a few seconds before shrugging and going back to finish telling Bruce about the fight. When he was finished with that and the experiments, Tony went upstairs, ordering Pepper's favourite chef to come in and make their dinner, having the table set nicely with some wine and a dish of fillet mignon, with vegetables and garlic bread.
When Pepper came in, she smiled widely and accepted Tony's over exaggerated apology as she sat to eat the meal. At the end of the meal, Tony walked over to her end of the table, gently taking her hand and helping her to her feet, before leading her to the bedroom. He kissed her softly at first, his hands carefully and gently moving to slowly remove her clothing. He only paused to remove his own suit as he trailed kisses down her neck to her collarbone, sucking there gently.
They moved over to the bed when they were both nude, Tony grabbing a rubber and putting it on as she lay back on the bed, waiting for him. The brunette climbed on top of her carefully, leaning down to trail gentle, biting kisses down her jaw and neck, across her collarbone and over her breasts, pausing to pay attention to each in turn.
He kissed down to her hip, then moved back up to her lips, kissing her deeply as one hand made it's way between her legs, slipping inside her a little to gently rub against her. He made small circles with his fingertips, waiting until she was quivering and asking him for it, before moving his hands to her hips and gripping them as he pushed into her slowly.
Tony gave her a minute to adjust, then started moving his hips in smooth motions, gradually building speed until he was pounding into her at near full speed. It only took a few minutes before the both of them climaxed, Tony leaning in to kiss her afterwards before pulling out and going to the washroom to get rid of the rubber and wash up a bit. He rejoined her in the bed after, pulling her close against his body and falling fast asleep, all the activity of the day entirely tuckering him out.
