It's been three months since Loki tried to take over the Earth when the Avengers stopped him. There hasn't been much fuse since then. Only minor bank robberies gone wrong or hostage situations. The only time we get to see the rest of the Avengers team is when S.H.E.I.L.D. has its weekly meetings. It's usually just reports and updates on criminals.
That's were I am now: sitting in a boardroom listening to Fury talk. I glance at Tony to make sure he's paying attention. He's not of course, so I elbow him. He looks up quizzically and I gesture toward Fury. He sighs and looks at Fury. I tune into Fury also.
"There has been sighting of mutant monsters in Lake Erie." He looks at Thor, "Thor, I want you to go and check it out."
"It would be a honor."
"Aww! The demigod gets the mutant fish! Not fair!" Tony whines. Everyone's eyes were on Tony.
"Tony!" I look at him giving him my best 'shut up now' look.
"What? It would be cool for Ironman to defeat man-eating fish."
"I didn't say they were 'man-eating'." Fury interjected, "And seeing how these are alien like creatures and our friend Thor here-" he gestures to Thor, "-is not of this word, he is best for this mission."
"Fine." Tony grumbles and slubbes back in his chair like a high schooler who just got in trouble.
The meeting went on for another hour without any more interruptions from Tony. He's been eerily quite lately (if you don't count what happened an hour ago). He's getting me worried.
"Okay, that's all I have for today. I'll see you next week." Fury said walking of the room, followed by the Avengers team.
I start packing up my things when Tony lays his big hand on my smaller one. I look up at him quizzically in is dark eyes, "Yes?"
"What are you doing after this?" he gestures to me putting my laptop in my bag.
"We are flying back to Malibu and talking to the press about the Henson Bank robbery that you stopped last week." I finish packing up and look at him.
"Wrong!" He gives me his all so famous smile.
"Then what are we doing?"
He leans in close and wraps his arms around me. I follow in suit. I feel his warm breathe on my ear. I shiver in pleasure. I ask again in a whisper, "What are we doing?"
"Not tellin'" he chuckles.
"Toonyy!" I whine and push him away. "We have a meeting with the press in several hours."
"Not anymore," he said in a sing-songy voice walking out of the room with a big smile.
"Tony! What did you do?" I grab my bag and follow him to the elevator.
"I called and gave them a verbal interview over the phone. So you and I are completely free tonight." He pushes the button the elevator and we ascend up to the roof where our jet is.
I give a breathy sigh, "Then what do you have planned for us tonight, Mr. Stark?"
"Like I said, Ms. Potts, I'm not telling." The elevator doors open to the roof. He takes my hand and leads me to the jet.
"Fine. Can you at least tell me where we are going?" I ask walking up the steps to the jet.
"Nope." He said popping the 'p'. We entered the jet and sit in the seats by the windows.
The jet then took flit to our unknown destination.
There's one more chapter coming real soon. Sorry for the delay, I just have a lot of crap to do. I hope you all enjoy this! :)
