AN: I just want to say, thanks for the positive feedback. It's a wonderful thing to have when you aren't sure how your story is doing. I plan on updating this story once a week. The time between updates really depends on how much time school takes up.

"So let me get this straight. Five superheroes are moving in TODAY and you thought it was fine to tell me just now", said Pepper Potts.

"Relax, Peps! I've got it all under control. JARVIS had their personal floors made along with a main floor where we can all gather for whatever team related junk the Pirate and Capsicle come up with," explained Tony.

"And I assume that you'll be taking part in these activities," replied Pepper.

"Oh I plan to," Tony smirked. "That is if the others can handle the awesomeness that is me."

"Tony, you are part of a team now. You have to do your part to help keep the team running," Pepper warned.

"I know what I plan on doing with this team. I'll try to play well with others for a change. Heck, I'll even try to make sure they don't destroy your 12% of the tower," Tony assured her.

"Sir, it appears that the rest of the Avengers have arrived," JARVIS' voice rang out. "Shall I tell them to come up?"

"No need JARVIS. Tell them that Pepper and I will be down there in a sec," Tony replied.

"Right away, sir."

"Well then," Tony said to Pepper. "Let's go greet our guests."

oOo

Steve Rogers looked at the place he had once called home. Sure, it had changed a lot since he had last been there, but the memories that took place there had remained.

Steve got back on his motorcycle and started driving to the tower. The nostalgia would only make him feel worse. He had his time to mourn the changes that had taken place in his life, but that time was over. An opportunity lied ahead of him; one he wouldn't let escape.

Before Director Fury had come to him with the idea of The Avengers Initiative, he had no purpose in this century. The world had changed and he could barely walk ten feet without seeing something that shocked him. He really was the man out of time. But now, he was the leader of a team of superheroes that he would do his best to hold together.

He was well aware of the fact that the terms on which they met weren't the best. They had argued with each other and said some hurtful things. But it was time to put that to the past. He wanted to meet his team for real this time, without a battle going on.

With this thought he came to a stop in front of Stark Tower. If he was thinking about avoiding technology this was the wrong place. It literally was filled with gizmos and gadgets he would never understand.

He dismounted from the motorcycle and walked through the main doors. Nobody was there. But that was expected. You could call it being early, but in his time it was simply polite. Now he just had to wait for the rest of the team to arrive.

oOo

"You were correct, Lady Jane! This screen of color indeed allows us to speak and see each other when we are great distances apart!" Thor shouted in excitement.

"It's called video chat. Just remember how to get on and we can talk to each other like this in our free time," explained Jane Foster.

"I will be sure to remember how this miraculous creation works! I am sure we will use it quite often when I am in the Tower of Stark!" Thor declared.

Thor was looking forward to being able to spend time with his team. They were warriors worthy of the greatest titles on Asgard. At first he had thought they were petty mortals that could only argue with one another. His opinion changed when he fought against the Chitauri alongside them. He found them to be great companions that he had much to learn from.

"Oh, that's right," Jane said. "Today will be your first day you stay with your team at Stark Tower. Keep me posted on how that goes."

"I will be sure to do so, Lady Jane. I shall participate in this keeping of the post. Now, I must be off before I am late for my arrival," said Thor.

"Okay, Thor," Jane smiled. "I'll be sure to keep in touch. Bye!"

"Goodbye, Lady Jane!" Thor replied.

Thor then turned off his computer and put it with the other things he would be bringing to the tower. After this, he headed to the tower with a mood of happiness.

oOo

"There isn't really that much for me to pack," Doctor Banner thought to himself.

This was, of course, a true statement. Until Director Fury had sent for him he had been on the run from the authorities, specifically General Ross, and hadn't been able to settle down anywhere. The items he brought to the Helicarrier were all he had.

He wasn't sure how to feel about staying in New York for a long period of time. As he had told the team, he broke Harlem the last time he had been in the state.

Now, he was moving into a billionaire's tower with a team of highly trained individuals. The whole idea of team bonding would be put to the test, and he had a feeling that they would come out of it with a better understanding of each other.

The only part that worried him was that the Other Guy could be unleashed. He had gotten better at controlling the transformations, but still didn't want to put peoples' lives in his ability to control his anger.

But he already knew that the team was aware of this and would try not to provoke him. Except for Stark.

So now, he was ready to stay around for a while and meet the team he would be working with.

oOo

"Actually, this seems like it'll be fun," Agent Barton said to Agent Romanoff. "Look at it from my perspective: the tower will have plenty of vents for me to climb in and no Director Fury to tell me I can't!"

Natasha turned to look at her partner with an exasperated expression. "Let me guess, you already have an entire list of pranks that you want to pull on the rest of the team."

"You know me well, Tasha," Clint smiled. "So, are you ready to go to Stark's place?"

"I'm ready as I'll ever be," she replied.

They left their quarters and started the walk to the ground level of headquarters. About halfway through their walk, Clint piped up, "You know, I never realized until now how much of my life being an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. takes up."

"And why is that?" she asked him.

"When I was packing my clothes I discovered that I only have two outfits that have nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D.," he responded.

"You are one of the most random people that I've ever met," she told him.

"And proud!" he said as they got into his S.H.I.E.L.D.-issued car. "Now let's go meet the team!"

oOo

Steve had been waiting in the lobby of Stark Tower for around five minutes before other members of the team showed up. The first two were Dr. Banner and Thor.

"Hello! It's a pleasure to see both of you again!" he greeted.

"The same to you, Captain," Bruce replied.

"I am pleased to reacquaint with both of you!" Thor exclaimed.

There was an awkward silence after that. It was broken when Agents Barton and Romanoff walked in.

"I see we're waiting for Tony to come," Natasha stated as she observed the other members in the lobby.

"Well the wait is over," Tony smirked as he walked in with Pepper by his side. "The genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist has arrived."

"What he means to say is: Welcome to Stark Tower!" Pepper corrected.

"And we thank you for allowing us to stay here Miss…" Steve said.

"Potts. But just call me Pepper. Everyone does," Pepper answered. Then she turned to look at the other Avengers stopping when her gaze landed on Natasha. "Natasha! It's been a while!"

Clint looked surprised at this. " Wait, you know each other?"

"Yeah, from when Fury put me on babysitting duty," Natasha informed him.

"Enough with the chit chat! It's time for y'all to see where you'll be living for a while!" Tony announced. "To the elevators!"

They all got in one of Stark's huge elevators and rode to the part of the tower they would be spending their time in. The elevator doors opened and they stepped onto the floor.

"Greetings, Avengers and Ms. Potts. Welcome to the Avengers section of the tower Is there anything you require?" JARVIS asked.

Everyone but Tony, Pepper, Natasha, and Clint jumped.

"That must be JARVIS," Clint theorized.

"You would be correct, Agent Barton," JARVIS responded. "I am an AI that is running in all of Mr. Stark's personal technology."

"Well I'll be," Steve marveled. "A robot without a body."

"The correct term is Artificial Intelligence, Spangles," Tony corrected. "And I think it's about time we actually started the tour."

Tony then led them into a large room. There was an enormous TV in the corner surrounded by three couches. Behind the couches was a long table with chairs alongside it. By the table was an archway that led to a kitchen full of modern appliances.

"This is the main room," Tony stated. "We'll all meet here to eat and do other simple team activities. Through the doors on the left are the training rooms. There's a basic gym, a play area for the Hulk, and a shooting range. The doors to the right lead to the labs. Note that only Bruce and I can be in there unless it's an emergency."

"In other words, we'll be in there a lot," Clint joked.

"Ha ha. Very funny, Legolas,"Tony countered. "The remaining floors on the tower are the personal floors. From lowest to highest, the order of floors are: the main floor, the guest floor, Cap's floor, Bruce's floor, my floor, Romanoff's floor, Legolas' floor, and Thor's floor. I had Pepper and JARVIS add personal touches to the floors that I think you'll like, but it's up to you decorate the rest."

"So I'm guessing we'll each go to our floors now," Bruce said.

"That's the plan," Tony replied. "Meet back here in an hour. Then it's time for schwarma."

oOo

After Tony had finished his tour they all went to their separate floors.

Clint's sharp eyes noticed the intricate details put into the decorations in his floor. His favorite part was a room full of different bows and arrows for him to hit the range with.

Thor was reminded of Asgard by pictures showing warriors charging off to battle. There was also an area with the Midgardian technology he could use to communicate with Lady Jane.

Natasha paid specific attention to the assortment of weapons displayed in a room with fine art. It looked like Stark was trying to please her before he had time to make her mad.

Bruce had a floor covered with things related to science. He specifically liked the fact that there was very little green anywhere on his floor.

Steve's floor was by far the most impressive. I t was a mix between furniture from the modern times and the forties. It also had an all-American theme to it.

It looked like Tony had made sure they would all enjoy their new home.

oOo

"So how did you all like your floors?" Tony asked the team as they all met on the main floor.

Clint was the first to speak up. "Well, they certainly aren't S.H.I.E.L.D.-issued quarters. I'm going to have a lot of fun with my new toys."

"So will I," Natasha added while she looked at Tony with a warning look on her face.

Tony gulped. "What about you, Bruce?"

"The color scheme and the decorations definitely suit me," Bruce replied.

Tony smiled. "I thought they would. Thor? Cap?"

"My living quarters remind me of Asgard. They help Midgard be my home away from Asgard. I am also grateful for the technology I can use to communicate with Lady Jane," Thor stated.

"I honestly don't know what to say other than thanks," Steve responded. "It seems like you mixed this time and my time together perfectly."

"No need to thank me," Tony said. "I had plenty of help from Pepper."

Steve turned to Pepper. "Thank you."

"There's really no need to thank me," Pepper assured. "You should enjoy your time here."

"Not that I don't enjoy being thanked or anything, but JARVIS ordered schwarma and I'm starving. Who wants to eat?" Tony cut in.

Everyone conceded and they went into the dining area to eat. At first it was just a repeat of when they ate after battling Loki's army- silent and awkward. Then Tony spoke up. "Is this going to be a thing?"

"What do you mean?" Natasha asked.

"I mean, are we going to make eating schwarma after major events happening to our team a tradition?" Tony restated.

"I don't see why not," Steve replied.

"Let us toast then to tradition and becoming a team!" Thor shouted.

"TO SCHWARMA AND THE AVENGERS!" they all yelled out.

oOo

After finishing eating the team congregated in the main room.

"So tomorrow we start whatever team bonding activities Fury gives us," Bruce said.

"That's what I was told," Clint replied.

"With that said we should all prepare for it and go to bed," Pepper advised.

"Sure thing, Pepper," Tony said and led the way to the elevator knowing that things would start to change starting the next day.
