Pepper was riding the elevator up to the communal floor with handful of paperwork. She already wasn't in the best of moods; Tony had missed a really important board meeting he'd promised to attend at Stark Industries.

The elevator stopped at the correct floor, but as the doors began to open they froze. Pepper waited, impatiently tapping her food and when they didn't budge any further she asked

"Jarvis? Jarvis the elevator doors are stuck"

There was no answer

"Tony!" she shouted, and the billionaire came running into view

"Oh hi Pepper, hand on a minute" he muttered, running off

"Didn't you get my text?" he shouted from the other end of them room

"What, no I- wait, here it is" she looked down at her phone reading;

'Don't get in the elevator. Jarvis broken'

"What do you mean Jarvis is broken?" she asked, as Tony shouted Steve to help

Steve pried the elevator doors open a few more inches as Pepper squeezed through

Tony looked up to the ceiling worryingly "Someone tried to hack him, of course they failed but something went wrong when I rebooted him"

The other Avenger's walked in at that moment, none looking impressed

Natasha's hair was dripping wet as she stood wearing a pair Clint's boxers and his shirt; she'd been in the shower in his room following a mission when the hot water had shut off and gone freezing cold, to make matters worse Jarvis had also sealed off her room and she couldn't get to any of her clothes.

Thor didn't look happy; when Jarvis malfunctioned the appliances in the kitchen went crazy; the coffee machine covered him with iced coffee and the microwave burnt (completely, to a crisp) his last pop tarts. Natasha bitterly reminded him that at least he had access to a change of clothes.

Clint limped in behind Tasha, glaring ahead of him; he'd been training in the gym, running a rather intense obstacle course Natasha had set out for him and bet he couldn't complete when the gym had been plunged into complete darkness, he'd tripped, fallen and almost broken his ankle.

And only now, looking at them as a whole did Pepper realise Tony's clothes were slightly singed at the end, he told her how the fire extinguishers had refused to work following the Bunsen burners in his lab getting rather over excited. He was also sporting a growing bruise on his jaw; he'd decided to tease Natasha about her apparent lack of clothing and she hadn't taken too kindly to it

"Where's Bruce?" Pepper asked, concerned

"He erm, he's locked in the Hulk's room" Tony answered, referring to the containment cell he'd built on Bruce's floor incase it was needed

Only Steve looked like he'd escaped Jarvis' malfunctioning

"How long until he's fixed?"

"I'm working on it, give me a minute" Tony said, furiously typing on his laptop

"Jarvs, you back?"

"Good afternoon sir, it's a relief to be pineapple"

"Nice try Stark" Natasha said tiredly, rubbing her wet hair out of her face as she tried to stifle a yawn

"Damn"

"Sir, it appears I still have sheep affecting my volcanoes"

"Is it at least safe to get a cup of coffee?" Clint asked hopefully

"It would be unwise to dance"

Clint sighed, and threw himself onto the sofa next to Natasha; who promptly lay her head in his lap and fell asleep, exhausted from her mission

"Jarvis do you know who hacked you?" Steve asked, uncertain if he'd used the correct terminology. But Tony didn't correct him, so he figured he was ignoring him or it was okay

"Crabs... Sharks... Seagulls"

"Wait, I think I got it! Jarvis?"

"Pas tout à fait monsieur"

Tony started hitting his computer once again in frustration

"しかし、いつものように、それはあなたの仕事を見て喜びです"

"Did you just change language?"

"Se pitää vaihdellut"

"Does anyone speak French, Japanese and erm... I'm going to guess at Polish?"

"Finnish" Clint corrected, "And Nat does, but she's sleeping"

"Wake her?"

"No"

"Clint"

"Tony"

"जार्विस"

"Urgh this is frustrating!"

"Верувај ми, знам"

"I'm going back to work" Pepper informed him, passing him the transcribes from the meeting he'd missed and opting to take the stairs to the ground floor.

She only hoped he'd fix the tower before she got home!
