**Sorry about the late update I'm in the middle of production rehearsals but the rest of the chapters should come up quicker**

"Please call me Hel, I hate Helga" I say smiling nicely. She just nods and we walk into Stark Tower.

As we walk into the tower when a voice ring throughout the room.

"Welcome back Agent's Romanoff and Barton" The voice said.

"Wow, is that JARVIS?" I ask.

"How do you know about JARVIS?" Clint asked me.

"Forbs magazine, I may be from Australia but I'm not completely out of touch with the world" I explained amused. Clint seems to take answer and Natasha just seems unfazed, I'm thinking there had to be more under the surface. No one is that indifferent yet aware of their surroundings.

"Agent Romanoff there seems to be an unidentified person in the foyer, can you confirm?" JARVIS asked.

"Leave it to Tony to invite someone for dinner then forget" Natasha said.

"He probably went straight down to the workshop and hasn't surfaced yet" Clint said amused.

"Don't worry JARVIS, this is Helga Brooks. Tony invited her for dinner in thanks for saving his life and to stroke his ego" Natasha explains to the AI.

"Hi JARVIS it's a pleasure to meet you" I say smiling at the ceiling.

"And you Miss Brooks, if there's anything I can do to assist, please don't be afraid to ask" JARVIS says. "And to confirm your earlier theories Agent Barton, Mr Stark is indeed in his workshop and has been since his return. Should I inform him and Miss Potts of your arrival?" The AI asked.

"Yes thank you JARVIS" Natasha says.

"Let's just hope Pepper knows about Helga" Clint says smirking.

"It's either Hel or Miss Brooks. Never. Ever. Helga!" I say butting in.

"Whatever you say kid" Clint pats my head as he walks towards the elevator with Natasha.

"If you weren't an assassin I would floor you right now" I grumble getting in the elevator with them.

"Well you will get to see me floor him later" Natasha says looking at Clint coyly.

"Dream on Widow" Clint says and presses the button for level 7. I still can't believe I'm going to see my two favourite Avengers spar, my inner fan girl is squealing.

As the elevator lets out we walk straight into a wide open space kitchen, fully decked out with every top of the line cooking implement out there. This connects to an open plan dining room with panoramic windows overlooking the city.

"This place is amazing!" I say almost squealing.

"Don't let Tony hear you say that" Clint says amused.

"Don't let me hear what?" Tony asked walking out of the elevator wiping his hands on his jeans.

"That this place is quaint but there are buildings blocking the view" I say trying to keep a straight face. Clint and Natasha make it look easy, but I'm so close to laughing and they are the picture of indifference.

"What do you mean quaint?" Tony demands.

"You're the genius, why do you need me to explain it to you?" I ask sarcastically. At this Clint losses it and practically falls to the ground laughing.

"Come with me little one" Tony says throwing his arm around my shoulder. As we walk up to the elevator a strawberry blond women in killer heels walks out. As she sees Tony and me she raises her eyebrow.

"Tony is there something you would like to tell me?" She asks, clearly not impressed with what she sees. Tony quickly takes his arm off my shoulders and takes a big step away from me.

"Pepper, honey, it's not what it looks like. I can explain, I was going to try and impress her with the view from the roof" He said in a hurry. Clint is still laughing on the ground and Natasha is now holding back laughter an arm wrapped her stomach. At Tony explanation Peppers eyebrow disappears into her hairline and then frowns, her glare rivalling Director Fury's.

"Wait, that's also not what I meant... She wasn't... I mean I wasn't... We weren't going to.." Tony said stuttering.

"Tony pick your jaw up off the floor and shut your mouth, you look like a blubbering fool" I say in a commanding voice.

"Hey!" Tony says offended.

"Anyway, hello you must be Pepper. My name is Helga but please call me Hel, and to explain the situation. I was messing with Tony and insulted the view from this window and his ego made him want to impress and out do me. I'm a friend of Clint's, Tony invited me here to have dinner as thanks for saving his life. Also I couldn't decline the opportunity to spend a day with the Avengers and one of the most powerful business women of the decade." I say smiling. Clint and Natasha at this point have stopped laughing and have come to stand behind Tony and myself.

"Well then, any friend of Clint's is a friends of mine... wait did you say you saved Tony life? Why was your life at risk this time!" Pepper said getting angrier as she filters what I said.

"There was an accident in the lab, stuff blew up and I got injured, but I'm all good now Pep's" Tony said assuredly.

"Okay I need coffee, I just got home this is too much to deal with without coffee" Pepper said moving over to the coffee making in the kitchen.

"Is Dr Banner here?" I ask excitedly.

"Yeah he's in the lab" Tony said.

"JARVIS could you please invite Dr Banner up here for dinner and tell him we have a special guest" Pepper said after having a few gulps of coffee.

"Yes Miss Potts, should I invite Captain Rogers swell?"

"Yes thank you JARVIS" Pepper said now seeming much more relaxed.

"Okay well until dinner or when Brucie surfaces what do you want to do Hel?" Tony asked clapping his hands excitedly.

"Umm well Clint and Natasha kinda made a promise and I'd like to see that through" I say trying to sound calm.

"What is it? She looks like her head is going to blow up" Tony said amused.

"I told her she could watch Nat and I spar" Clint said shaking his head and moving towards the elevator. "Come on then kid" motioning for me to follow him.

"Oh I wanna come watch" Tony shouted rushing into the elevator after Natasha, Clint and I.

"Fine, get in" Clint says sighing.

"Pep you wanna come see little red wipe the floor with birdie" Tony asked.

"No thank you, I have your work to do" She said lightly teasing Tony.

"Will I see you at dinner?" I ask before the doors close.

"Yes," Pepper said confused.

"Great thank you Miss Potts," I said smiling.

As the doors close Tony whines "Great she likes my girlfriend more than she likes me"

"Suck it up Tony" Clint and Natasha said and Clint pushed the button for the 7th floor. As we get to the 7th floor the doors open to revel a huge gym with sparing matts, punching bags, weight lifting stations and various other machines. At the back of the room there are doors to what I suspect would be a changing room. As I walk further into the room I see that there is another room separated by a huge glass window. On the other side is an Olympic sized pool and what seems to be a shooting range. It's a lot more intense and fancy than the one back home, I hope Natasha lets me have a go later.

"This place is amazing and well huge!" I say flabbergasted.

"No one ever said Tony doesn't go all out" Clint said

"It's true, I do" Tony said happily.

"Oh and yes, you can have a go on the shooting range later" Natasha said grinning not quite smiling.

"I...err... Thanks" I say, trying to remember if I said that out loud.

"I noticed you looking at it before, I don't need to be a spy to know you were exited at the prospect" she said.

"Anyway shall we get this show on the road?" Tony asked rubbing his hands together.

"Alright Tony, you and Hel can watch from the bench over there" Clint said pointing to one of the walls partially obstructed by a long bench. Both Tony and I rush over and get comfy.

"You ready Widow?" Clint taunted moving to the middle of the matts.

"What are the parameters?" Natasha asked.

"No weapons, no shoes, purely hand to hand three taps is the tap out" Clint said taking off the gun from his thigh and knife from his boot. Natasha takes off both her gun holsters, the knife at the top of her leg, another smaller gun near her calf and the two knives out of her boots. As they do this they never break eye contact, lastly they take of their boots.

"Well then Hawk, all set" Natasha said sounding almost bored. Clint feigns hurt and puts a hand to his chest, then the Widow pounces. She starts off with a jab aimed at his solar plexus which he quickly deflects countering with a left hook to the shoulder. They play cat and mouse for almost an hour trading blows, deflecting and evading even more. Until Natasha goes in for a right hook to the head, and before Clint know what's happening she had dropped to the floor leg sweeping him. He falls backwards but manages to twist his body so he lands on his side. In this position he's ready to kick out at her but she expects that and moves to the back of him. She pins him to the ground in a choke hold with her legs and he taps out.

"Oh my god that was amazing!" I almost yell gleefully.

"You should see Capsicle and Red it's hilarious she's so small but also wicked fast, he's all muscle but not as fast" Tony said grinning.

"I don't care, that was like a choreographed dance. It was, for lack of a better word, beautiful" I say dreamily.

"Really all I saw was people trying to kill each other" Tony said looking at me like I had another head.

"Yes, but beauty can be found in the most macabre of scenarios if you understand what lies beneath Tony" I say honestly.

"Yeah, yeah dinner time I think" Tony said.

"We will meet you down there" Clint says.

"Okay, Hel you are with me" Tony said heading towards the elevator motioning for me to follow. We go back down to the kitchen level. When get down there the huge table has been set and it smells amazing. Shortly after we got down there we are joined by Pepper, Clint and Natasha.

"When are the others getting here?" Tony asked. Just then the elevator opened to revel Doctor Banner and Captain America.

"Why are we having a team dinner that no one can miss or Tony will set JARVIS on us?" Doctor Banner asks.

"We have a surprise guest" Tony said cheerily.

"Hello Doctor Banner and Captain Rogers" I say again proud my voice didn't waver.

"Um hi" Dr Banner said.

"Sorry but who are you ma'am?" Captain Rogers asked.

"Sorry I'm Sophia Burnes and I'm Tony's daughter, I'm going to be living with you for a few months" I say smiling and holding out my hand for him to shake.

"WHAT!" both Dr Banner and Captain Rogers shout.

"Since when did you have a daughter Stark?" Clint asked joining in the ruse with a surprised face.

"I don't want the press to know about her so she can live her life freely" Tony said wrapping an arm around my shoulder. Wow these guys are so awesome even Natasha is playing along.

"Come here sweetheart sit down for dinner" Pepper says sweetly.

"Yes mum" I say grinning at her.

"Okay I'm sorry I can't do this" Clint says breaking into fits of laughter

"Come on we had them eating out of our hand! Some S.H.I.E.L.D agent you are, we had almost convinced Doctor Banner and we almost had Rogers" I said disappointed.

"I'm sorry what's going on here?" Captain Rogers asked

"They were pulling our leg Steve, she isn't actually Tony's daughter" Doctor Banner said.

"Oh, well who are you them ma'am?" Captain Rogers asked.

"I am Hel Brooks" I say and they both look at me unconvincingly. "Seriously, not kidding now" I say amused.

"Hel is a S.H.I.E.L.D asset who helped me and saved Tony's life, so Tony invited her here for dinner" Clint said trying to make sense of the situation for the dear Captain.

"How about we all have a seat for dinner, we can ask more questions then" Pepper suggested and everyone took their seats, I took the only free seat between Captain Rogers and Natasha.

"So ma'am tell us how you saved Tony's life" Captain Rogers said.

"Well he was kidnapped again but Iranian insurgents and before S.H.I.E.L.D could send an extraction team I went in and retrieved him before they could kill him" I say praying my face didn't give me away.

"Now I don't know if you're kidding or not" Doctor Banner said.

"I'm kidding, he was injured in a lab accident and they wouldn't have been able to save him in time because the Arc reactor would have interfered with the procedure. So I used one of my many glorious talents and saved his butt" I say looking rather pleased with myself.

"Are you sure she isn't your daughter Stark?" Clint asked.

"Very funny bird brain" Tony said as the food was brought out. I had a César salad but I don't know how Tony knew it was my favourite.

"What, I mean how?" I asked Tony till I realised everyone else had the same.

"How what?" Tony asked.

"Never mind awesome coincidence I guess" I say happily still not quite convinced of it being a coincidence.

"So tell us more about yourself Miss Brooks" Doctor Banner said.

"Okay, um born and raised in Australia, I was a dancer, then I became a dance instructor but I have a Diploma of Arts majoring in dance minoring in Psychology. Umm I'm 18, no family and a general fandom nerd" I say kind of worried my life can be summed up in two sentences.

"Again I don't know if you are serious" Doctor Banner said humouredly.

"I'm being serious, if I was joking I would have said something more cool and flash" I say laughing.

"I'm a great admirer of your work Doctor Banner, I must have read everything you have ever published" I say excitedly but trying to play it cool.

"Smooth kid" Clint said from across the table.

"Really everything? And you understood it?" He asked surprised.

"Yes, remember I said nerd earlier. If I hadn't gone down the arts road I would be either a Astrochemist or a hypothetical physicist" I say getting weird looks from everyone but Clint.

"Wow, and um thanks" Doctor Banner said both surprised and shyly.

"Honestly Doctor Banner your work is unparalleled and quite frankly amazing" I say.

"You can call me Bruce and thank you" he said smiling at me. This salad tastes amazing, I don't know why is different than back home but this is just great.

"So Pepper, what's it like being one of the most powerful business women in the world?" I ask excitedly.

"Busy" She says chuckling.

"Understandable, I actually wrote a letter to you last year for my Psychology class" I say happily

"Really?" She asled.

"Yeah, It was just like an interview where you just had to answer the questions in the blank spaces" I say.

"You think I'd remember a name like Helga Brooks" She says to herself but I'm not sure if she meant to say that out loud.

"I didn't sign it with my name it would have been Paula Jackson" I say again earning weird looks from everyone. "I watched to many spy movies as a kid" I say by way of explanation.

"Well I'm glad I could be of help" Pepper said.

"Ma'am should you be drinking you are only 18" Captain Rogers said.

"18 is legal in Australia and even so, it's only sparkling apple juice. I don't drink" I say sassily.

"I would have stopped her is it was wine" Clint said, "What, the director left her in my care" he said to explain his response.

"If I ask a couple of questions do you promise not to kill me Natasha?" I ask.

"You just did" She said smirking.

"Wow déjà much, anyway promise not to kill me?"

"Fine, but I make no promises on grievous bodily harm" she said grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"How long have you and Clint been working together?" I ask.

"Seven years, why?" she asked.

"Well earlier you to were so much in sync that it's like you guys shared a brain and you aren't sleeping together so I guessed it was from working together for so long" I say.

"How do you know I'm not having sex with him" She says smirking.

"Because no one who is sleeping together can have that much sexual tension between them" I say copying her smirk from earlier.

"Go Hel!" Tony said making Pepper smack him across the head lightly.

"Oh, I'm sorry I seemed to have turned the poor Captain into a beetroot. I guess sex wasn't talked about so cavalierly in the forties hu" I say turning to Captain Rogers in the seat next to me.

"No it was not ma'am, neither was children undertaking such a topic so relaxedly" He said obviously feeling quite awkward.

"You may not like my next question then, what's the deal with Hill and the Pirate?" I ask.

"Unknown, betting pool currently favours already screwing each other but about to screw each other is not far behind and already married with two children has just made its way onto the board" Clint said deep in thought.

"Hmm, I'm thinking about too with nine international cissies to go or three global ones" I say smirking at Clint.

"Okay, I'm already going at it" Natasha say's.

"I'm going with the kid on this one, sorry Nat" Clint said.

"Me to" Tony said.

"Well either Natasha is gunna be a lot richer or I'm the idiot that bet against the Black Widow" I say grinning.
