"Ladies and gents!" Tony called out as he walked onto the top floor. He looked around at the faces of his friends, grinning widely. "Guess what is going to be happening here very soon?"
"You're going to stop being a pain in the ass and actually do something nice for us for once?" Clint said, giving the billionaire a smirk.
"I don't know what you're talking about me being a pain in the ass, Hawkie. But no." The grin was back on the dark haired man's face. "There will be a TV crew coming to the tower in a few days to do a segment on me. The Life of Tony Stark."
"I bet you anything it's supposed to be The Life of the Avengers," Tracey whispered to Barry and Clint who snickered.
"So be on your best behavior, children," Tony said with a smirk.
Bucky rolled his eyes. "We have to behave?" He shook his head, leaning his head back on the couch. "I don't know what you are talking about, Stark."
"You're the one who will have to be on your best behavior, Tony," Steve said, putting an arm around Sharon's shoulders.
She smiled. "Pepper will be the one who will have to deal with him when the TV crew comes."
Natasha smirked. "The day Tony behaves is the day I wear pink."
"Funny, Red. All of you can just shut it," Tony said, glaring at them. "Just be prepared for the crew to come," he said, taking his leave.
"I think we just hurt his feelings," Barry said, smiling over at the elevator when the bearded man left.
"Oops," Nat said, the smirk still on her face.
ooOOoo
"So Tony is having a camera crew following him around the tower for a day?" Sam asked, as he threw some punches at the punching bag in front of him.
"Yeah," Steve said, hitting his own punching bag. "Apparently people have been curious about how the famous Tony Stark lives when he's not Iron Man."
"And throwing parties," Bucky added in. He grunted as he punched his bag.
"Are you sure it's not supposed to be them interviewing the whole team?" Sam asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Steve chuckled. "That's what Tracey thinks as well."
"Well if it is, I'm hoping they won't be expecting me to answer questions. I don't feel like the whole world knowing my business," Bucky said, punching the bag in front of him three more times.
"I hear that," Sam said. "But you have to admit. It's pretty cool that people want to know more about their heroes."
"Yeah, but having them know what we do on a daily basis isn't what I'd like them to know about me," Steve said with a light laugh. "I'm more curious as to how Tony's going to act around them."
"He's going to be Tony. It's that simple," Bucky said, smirking as he took a drink from his water bottle.
"Yeah…" Steve said, nodding slowly. "Let's just hope nothing happens."
ooOOoo
"So Mr. Stark," the reporter started. She and her camera man were being led up to the top floor via elevator with Tony, who was being professional strangely enough.
Tony shook his head, holding his hand up as he interrupted the woman. "I prefer Tony," he said with a smile.
"Tony," the reporter said, returning it, "is everyone who lives in the tower an Avenger or is it actually just Stark Industries."
"It's both actually," Tony answered. "It was originally Stark Industries until the Chitauri attack happened. The Avengers were formed and now I have the team and Stark Industries workers roaming around."
"Now is it true that there are new members of the Avengers?" the reporter continued. "Members like Captain America – Steve Roger's – childhood best friend, Bucky Barnes, a man known as Falcon, and an unknown young man?"
"You'd have to be blind if you didn't see Buckaroo, Bird Man, and Space Cadet running around helping take care of the city," the billionaire said with a laugh.
The elevator's doors opened and Tony led the reporter and camera man onto the top floor. The scientist's eyes landed on a pair of heads in the living room sitting on the couch. He grinned.
"And here are two bright examples of our new members!" he said, gesturing to the pair.
Barry and Tracey turned around, blinking in surprise when they saw the camera pointing at them. Barry put on a big smile and Tracey waved, giving a light smile. The male twin extended his hand to the reporter, who shook it and gave a smile.
Tony placed a hand on the young man's shoulder. "This here is the 'unknown young man'," he said, using air quotes. "Barry Madison is one of our newest members. And this is his twin sister, Tracey Madison."
Tracey did the same as her twin, standing up and shaking the reporter's hand. "Nice to meet you."
"You too. Now what I don't believe I've seen you around the city like your brother," the woman said, giving a quizzical look.
Tracey laughed. "Yeah, I'm not the fighting type. I can't do what the others do."
"Thing Two here is our resident computer geek. She's the one who gets files and helps organizes missions for us," Tony said, slinging an arm around the female's shoulders. She rolled her eyes at the nickname. "I don't think we would have gotten far without her."
"Sure you would have, just not as prepared and organized as you are now," Tracey said, giving the billionaire a wink.
Tony smirked and turned his head when he heard the sound of a door opening. Behind the twins and the scientist was Bucky, coming off the stairwell. Tony's face broke out into a mischievous grin.
"Buckaroo!" he called out, making the super soldier stop in his wake. "Ladies and gentlemen, our other newest member, Bucky Barnes!"
"Nice to meet you, ma'am," Bucky said, the always polite man he was taught to be. He shook the reporter's hand.
"Sergeant Barnes, how does it feel to be a part of such an important team?"
"It's actually great," he said, smiling. "Being out of time and adjusting to things has been a little tough, but thanks to Steve and everyone here I've been able to cope and get the hang of the twenty first century."
The reporter nodded and grinned. She addressed the group "Now all over the streets young woman are fawning over you and the rest of the team. It's no surprise after everything that you all have done for the city. I know that Tony here is seeing Pepper Potts for some time now. Are you three in a relationship? The viewers always love a good romance story now and then."
Barry laughed, shaking his head. "I'm not no."
"However," Tony broke in, "these two here happen to be together." He placed an arm around Bucky and Tracey's shoulders. Tracey's eyes widened, her cheeks heating up, and Bucky shot a quick glare at the bearded man. "So sorry ladies, Bucksicle is taken."
"Really now?" the reporter beamed. "And how did you two meet?"
"Uh…" Bucky said, looking from her to Tracey. "We uh."
"Met through Steve," Tracey quickly spoke up.
"And how long have you two been together?"
"Hey hey hey," Tony said, stepping up. "Let's not focus on those two. We've still got a lot to see around the tower. You still wanted to see the labs and the Iron Man suits. They're not important," he said, waving a dismissive hand at the couple.
"Oh yes of course," the reporter said. "How long does it take to create a new suit?"
"Quite a while," Tony said, leading the reporter and camera man back to the elevator. "I have to work on the kinks and fix up any mishaps here and there. It's a long process."
His voice faded as the elevator door's closed. Bucky and Tracey let out a sigh once the three were gone. Barry laughed as he took his seat at the couch again.
"That was entertaining," Barry said with a grin.
"I hope that'll be cut out," Tracey said, holding her head in her hand, shaking it.
"Don't count on it," the male twin said. "I've heard that everyone will make an appearance on this report. I expect you two will make some sort of headline in a matter of days."
ooOOoo
It had been a day after the report aired on TV. Nothing seemed different. The Avengers got the same excited fans coming up to them on the street whenever they were out and spotted. Nothing new.
Tracey's eyes widened as she saw stared at her computer. She groaned, laying her head on the back of the couch of hers and Bucky's floor. Dexter barked and wagged his tail, licking her face as he jumped up.
"What's wrong, doll?" Bucky asked, walking over and placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Barry was right," she groaned. She hid her face in her hands as Bucky squeezed her shoulders. "We made a headline."
"What?" the super soldier said, looking down at the computer. Sure enough a short news article had the title that read "Love sprouts among the Avengers." Bucky shook his head, sighing. "Well, let's be honest. It was bound to happen even without the TV report," he said, kissing the top of her head. "They caught Steve and Sharon before it. We were next."
"Yeah. Oh come on! It's trending!"
Hey everyone! Yet another oneshot has been knocked out. I have another one written out that I wanted to post, but for some reason it's saying it needs to be recovered from my flash drive so it might be awhile til that certain one comes out. But thank god for friends who are computer science majors! I'm gonna see if my friend can recover it for me. I love how my own character is a genius with computers where I'm basically calling my friend up daily for help with mine.
Thank you again to KiyUzumaki for her prompt! I loved the idea and immediately set to work.
I have a few other ideas in mind. Two more dealing with more horror games because I just found one that has been scaring the crap out of me every time. It's worse than Outlast!
Because I only have a few ideas in mind at the moment I'm stuck on what else to write. If you guys have ideas you'd like to see happen among the Avengers and Madison twins just shoot me a pm here, submit to my tumblr, or leave a review if you have neither accounts.
My tumblr is available for asking the Avengers and twins questions. My inbox is always open so stop by and shoot me a message! I love coming up with answers for each character and the questions always make me smile and laugh. I'd love to hear from you!
The link to my tumblr account is also on my profile here. But you can also look me up under
