Hello beauties! Here is chapter 4. See the end of the chapter for more notes.
Nothing like walking in the communal floor of the tower in the morning after a very rough night and being stared at with arched eyebrows.
"Hey Stark? Why is the dining table completely covered by pastries from that one cafe you like? Not that I'm complaining, I like that cafe too." Clint yelled from the dining table that was all the way across the room.
"We have visitors coming so I ordered food." Tony yelled back.
"You didn't have to yell!" Clint yelled.
"Well you were yelling so I can too! And I'm Tony Stark. I do what I want." Tony smirked.
Clint glared at Tony before very maturely sticking out his tongue.
"Children stop or you both are grounded." Natasha said as she walked out of the kitchen with a steaming mug of fresh and extremely expensive coffee from Panama.
"For me?" Tony gasped as he made grabby hands at the coffee.
"I wanna know who the guests are." Clint said as he threw himself on a chair.
"Guests? Are we receiving guests today?" Thor boomed as he walked in, his arm wrapped around the god of mischief's waist.
"Thor. Inside voices please." Loki muttered.
"Sorry love." Thor said softly.
Loki had joined the Avengers about a month ago after he was forgiven for New York and some other stuff that Thor refused to say. Plus, they all knew about New Mexico. SHIELD files are full of knowledge. It was also when Thor and Loki decided to express their love for each other after a brutal battle that nearly killed Loki, Tony, and Clint.
"Hold on. What I really want to know is why Steve slept in your bed, Tony?" Natasha arched an eyebrow.
"Natasha, I respect you very much. But I think that is non of your business." Steve responded for the genius.
Tony turned his head and stared at the super soldier with wide eyes. He knew that Steve was loyal and would protect his friends from anything, but last time he checked, Steve had never said anything like that to Natasha. They always played around but he never once heard Steve say something close to possessive and rough to her. Like ever.
"Sir, they are coming up the elevator as we speak." Jarvis interrupted.
"Guys! Behave please," Tony gave a not so subtle side glance at Clint, "and don't scare them." Another side glance at Natasha.
Tony and Steve quickly walked to the elevator as the rest of the group shuffled to the living space.
"It's gonna be okay, Tony." Steve whispered as he noticed Tony chewing on his bottom lip.
"I know… But… I was wondering that when they come, will you leave me to th-"
"Tony, I made you a promise. I won't leave your side. Okay?" Steve's face was open and true that it made Tony's heart lurch.
"Okay…" Tony muttered.
The elevator dinged and its doors slid open.
"I thought we were visiting family? Why the hell are we he-" a short blond was cut short by when a grin spread across a taller male's face.
"Anthony!" Sherlock exclaimed.
"Ugh… It's Tony. Anthony reminds me of Howard." Tony sighed but grinned and hugged the other brunette.
"Oh dear god… You're brother is Tony Stark. Oh god… And we are in a room full of superheroes…" John muttered.
"So this is the soldier who won my half-brother's heart? Nice to meet you." Tony said once he pulled away and stuck his hand out, "Tony Stark."
"I know. I'm John. John Watson." John introduced and shook the billionaire's hand.
"And this lovely hunk is Captain America." Tony said as he smiled brightly at Steve.
"Steve Rogers." Steve smiled and stuck out his hand.
"Sherlock Holmes." Sherlock smiled slightly, "Hope you've been treating my brother well."
"I would never hurt him." Steve said seriously.
"That's what they always say." Sherlock's face became cold.
"Sherlock!" John hissed.
"Not good?" Sherlock blinked and locked eyes with his lover.
"Not good. Not even close." John sighed.
Tony looked at Steve and placed a hand on his arm when he noticed his stiff posture.
"It's okay. I know you won't hurt me." Tony whispered reassuringly.
Steve locked eyes and nodded.
"Why don't we meet the rest of the team." Tony suggested and lead them past the kitchen and to the living space where everyone was waiting.
"You've got to be kidding me? Your guest is a Holmes?!" Clint exclaimed in disbelief.
"How do you know wh-"
"Mycroft Holmes, his brother, is literally the British government." Natasha said cooly.
"I told you John. Everyone knows that Mycroft is the government." Sherlock sighed.
"I'm confused. How do you and Katniss know about Mycroft and Sherlock?" Tony frowned.
"We are spies, Tony? What do you think?" Clint arched a brow.
"I think you guys should shut up so I can introduce you all to my younger half brother and his boyfriend." Tony said loudly.
"Hold on? He's your half brother?! How come that wasn't in your file?!" Clint exclaimed and pulled out his phone and began to furiously typed away."See! Nothing! Zip. Nada. Nothing about you having a half brother."
"Because I made sure no one found out about them. I didn't want to endanger their precious lives." Tony shrugged.
"Well it backfired. Have you not seen what Sherlock has been doing?" John arched a brow.
"Steeeeve! They're being rude! Can you get them to shut up?" Tony pouted.
Steve didn't say anything. Instead he gave the group the famous Captain America-does-not-approve-of-what-you're-doing-or-saying face. John stiffened and straightened on instinct but quickly relaxed and looked at the floor.
"Okay. Guys, this is Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. John, Sherlock, these two assassins are Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff. These two men who look like a character from Macbeth are Thor and Loki. And this nerd who is amazing and my science bro is Bruce Banner. I must warn you Sherlock, don't agitate anyone in this room. They will kill you. No joke. Especially that sexy redhead over there." Tony said.
"Too late for the warning." Steve muttered.
Sherlock turned his head and glared.
"Woah hey! I'm ringing. You guys try not to kill each other. Steve, come with?" Tony said as he walked to the kitchen.
Steve nodded at Natasha, who nodded back, before following the brunette.
Okay I'm thinking about doing a fix-it Civil War for this story. So I will put in new characters. I dunno how but I NEED to fix everything, because the movie is going to kill me and I need to be happy about something. Well all of us need something to help us live for the next few months. So yeah. Love you all.
