AN: Chapter 3 is on! I'm quite short on ideas right now, so I may not be able to update quickly. In this chapter, our young heroes are forced to clean up the mess they made in the past chapter. Well, I got nothing to say anymore, so please R&R! Hope you like it! I DO NOT OWN MARVEL
Chapter 3: Tony's fatherly instincts
Cleaning the entertainment room is quite difficult for our young heroes. It was their punishment for messing things up a few hours ago.
"Why the hell do I have to do this?" Benjamin complained as he sweep the pieces of torn leather and shattered glass to the dust pan. It might have been easier if he can use his powers to throw the trash away.
"You talk much" Freya muttered, holding mop in the corner and watches the others do the job.
Benjamin snickered and continued complaining. Dustan quietly mopped the floor on the other side of the room; Edward is just sitting on the stool just beside Freya.
"Why am I even here anyway?" James thought, he wasn't even present when the incident happened and yet he will clean the whole place up with these guys. He collected shards of broken glass in a container so he can dispose it easily later
"Why aren't you two working?"
Freya and Edward jumped out off their seats and turned to see Tony standing in the doorway with a glass of martini in his left hand. He gave them a cold glare as they proceeded in mopping the floor. Benjamin stopped complaining and went to his work silently.
"If it weren't for Nick, I would have been enjoying this martini in the sofa downstairs. Now I have to take a look at you guys doing your job." He explained bitterly as he took a sip of his drink.
The teens just shrugged and groaned while continuing their work
"Hey, let me help you with that." Pamela said as she picks up a few shards of glass carefully on the floor
James nodded thanks and bought the bin to the girl.
"Thanks again for helping me, umm..."
"Pamela, Pamela Stark" she said as she reached out her hand for a handshake
"Oh, sorry, Thanks, Pamela" James smiled and took her hand
Then the two started a polite chit chat as they clean the mess, Pamela smiled as James tells her about his fellow schoolmate who failed on climbing monkey bars. Tony can't get his eyes on Pamela and James while drinking his martini, and he raised his brows
"That's silly" Pamela chuckled and knelt down to pick up the last shard, she accidentally wounded herself as she touched the sharp edge. Her finger was bleeding and James noticed this.
"Are you alright?" James asked worriedly.
"I-I'm fine, I can handle myself" she replied stubbornly. She stood up and the others looked at her.
"I'm just going to get some bandages, okay? Wait here." James sprinted to the hallway
Tony went inside the room, removing his gaze at James and placed his empty glass on the table nearby,
"What did you do?" he asked
Pamela sighed and held her wrist
"Picked up a measly glass shard and got injured. It's fine anyway."
Tony again raised his brow,
"Why is that guy so worried about you? You could just get the bandages all by yourself..."
Freya placed her fingers on the wound, Pamela flinched
"It's not that bad" she said and removed her fingers gently
Benjamin and Dustan crossed their arms on their chest and stared down at Pamela
"Good thing you're not crying anymore" Edward grinned
"Oh shut up"
James opened the door, holding a box of bandages and approached Pamela. When he took her hand and was about to place the bandage on her finger, Tony snickered
"You don't have to bother you know, I mean it's not fatal and all so she can do it by herself or her brother..." he started
"There's no way I'm going to put that thing on her." Edward put his hand on his forehead
"...or I can do it myself" Tony finished, ignoring his son's remark
Pamela rolled her eyes and cast a glare at her father
"Dad, James know first aid, he can do this" she turned head to James and smiled
Tony flinched and watched James wrap the bandage on her finger.
"There you go! You must be careful next time, you know" James flashed an innocent smile at Pamela
Pamela blushed and looked away. Tony noticed this and decided to take his daughter away, immediately.
"It's not safe for an injured person to clean stuff. Besides you guys are almost done, I'll take her now" he stood up and grabbed his daughter's arm
"Wha-"
"Don't mind us, Mr. Stark. We can handle this alone" Dustan remarked
"Oh yes, I guess I'll thank you for your service, blondie" Tony referred to James
"You're welcome... I guess..." James replied softly. Tony dragged his daughter out of the room and took her downstairs. He brought her to the kitchen and let go of her arm
"Alright, Princess, talk" he start
"What am I going to tell you?" Pamela asked
"Why are you flirting with Grandma Roger's kid?" he said pointing at Steve who was innocently eating pop tarts with Thor while watching cartoons.
Pamela rolled her eyes
"Look, I'm not flirting with the guy." Then her eyes became dreamy, "He's just so nice... he's smart, funny and good looking" Pamela sighed
Tony's mouth opened as he tried to protest
"Dad, if ever I like this guy, please do not be so hard on him... "She said softly, and then she walked away
Tony went still, his mouth still open. Steve went into the kitchen and noticed Tony.
"What is wrong with you?" he said sceptically as he tried to open a can of soda.
Then Tony went on an outburst, and pulled Steve's shirt.
"My daughter is attracted to your spawn! And you dare ask me what's wrong?"
Steve's jaw dropped open, and then he went back to his serious composure.
"Wh-what's wrong with that?" he asked still in shock
Tony can't believe what he's hearing,
"It's fine with you?"
Steve shrugged, and Tony let go of him
"We must have a plan..." Tony started
Steve took a pop tart in the fridge and chewed it,
"A plan for what?" he asked
"Oh you know exactly what I mean..."
Steve rolled his eyes and took another bite of his tart
"It's going to be a long day..."
AN: Oohh... what could Tony's plan be? Is Steve gonna be in it? More James/Pamela in the next chapter! I really hope you like it! Don't forget to review! -SakakiHaruna12
