Clint plastered an over done outraged expression to his face. "I, Resent that." Pepper glared. "You didn't get him a gift card did you?" Clint rolled his eyes and laughed. "No, I didn't. Now,Gimme presents." Natasha rolled her eyes and slapped him over the head. "Very Poetic." He just smirked and kissed the top of her head. "I try."
Pepper smiled walking to the Christmas tree and smiling as she hands out each of the carefully wrapped packages. "Alright, who's first?" Everyone just looked at her and she sighed. "I SWEAR to god they aren't going to explode." The team just continued to look at her. "Or blow glitter, pudding, and other messy objective at you. Also no bombs of any kind, better yet I swear there are no pranks at all ok?" The team nodded and relaxed chuckling.
"I'll shall open my gift from the Man of Iron first Lady Pepper." Pepper smiled and nodded for him to go ahead when Tony stumbled into the room and froze like a deer the headlights. "I-um I'm sorry-didn't mean to interrupt, just ran out of coffee in the lab…. And Pepper why is there no coffee in my cabinets?
Pepper just sighed. "Because I wanted to bait you out of the lab, which means hiding all coffee in the entire house." Tony frowned and sighed. "Sorry Pep, just…. A lot of work to do. Speaking of which I better…" Pepper's face morphed into something deadly calm and scary and everyone froze when she spoke.
"Antony Edward Stark. Sit down, its Christmas Eve, and we are opening presents. These are the ones you got for the group; don't you want to see what you they think?" Tony flinched but otherwise didn't say anything as he carefully took a seat next to Pepper keeping his eyes down and looking like a cadged animal.
Pepper's smile returned and she turned to Thor, who had frozen unsure what to do. "Go on Thor, like I said it won't explode. Or bite you, forgot that one." Thor nodded still wary of the redhead who reminded him of Lady Sif .She could be quite frightening.
