So just a few glimpses at the weeks after Luna comes to New York. Soon though the Avengers will come into it and the fight with Loki! Can't wait! Hermione might be coming in, in the next chapter, but I'm not sure. And just letting you know this story isn't going to be very long, maybe thirteen to fifteen chapters, if I'm feeling good about the story.

The days went on by and Ginny adjusted to having Luna around again. It was nice having her best friend back with her and having Steve as well. She still had time off since Tony hadn't come back from Germany yet, but she knew as soon as he was back they would be at the new Stark Towers which he was going to help build. Luna and her where sitting in the living room watching a favorite show waiting on Steve to come over. They were going out tonight, after Luna had begged him to come to the club with them. She wore a sparkly silver number that had on flowing sleeve and was tight stopping at her mid thigh. And on her feet were a matching pair of silver hells. She had added more curl to her hair tonight and did a dark eyeshadow. While Ginny wore a short blue dress that clinched at the waist and had sleeves she rolled up to her elbow. She wore simple black ankle boots and kept her hair straight down her back with simple make up. They were waiting for Steve then going out to eat and heading toward the club. A pop from the fireplace drew bother their attention. Looking over they saw that it was Hermione's head looking around the apartment. Jumping up they hurried toward the fire.

"Hermione! My God, I haven't seen you in months!" Ginny exclaimed with a happy smile on her face. Hermione smiled gently.

"Where are you two going so dressed up?" She questions looking over their outfits.

"We're headed toward the club, with Gin's new man." Luna said with a twinkle in her eyes as Ginny blushed.

"You have a boyfriend, Ginny? Since when and does your family know?" Hermione questions.

"Bloody hell no! And I'm not telling them!" Ginny exclaimed. "And we've only been together for a few days. But we've been a friends for a little bit now. But can I ask why you're popping in?" She questions.

"I had time to myself and thought I actually talk to you. The bloody phone barely works all the way out here." She said.

"So when are you coming to New York? You haven't taken a vacation in years." Luna questions.

"As soon as this is done." Hermione stated again for what felt like the hundredth time. Ginny and Luna shared a look.

"It sounds to us like you've met someone. We all know that research trip could have ended a few weeks ago."

"Well I have met a man here, his name is Bruce. He is brilliant. He knows so much and has helped with my research so much I've gotten more than I thought I would." She informed them.

"So is this Bruce attractive?" Ginny questions with a raising of her eyebrows.

"Ginerva! It isn't like that!" Hermione yelled and went to say more before the front door opened. Ginny quickly pulled the vase of water from the shelf and through it on the fire putting it out and dismissing Hermione as she whirled around seeing Steve standing in the doorway dressed in simple dress pants and a red button up shirt. He gave them a funny look.

"Why are you both looking at the fire?" He questions walking closer.

"No reason, Luna just dropped a piece of paper in there. We weren't able to get it." Ginny said hugging him and placing a simple kiss on his cheek. Steve smiled down at her as he kissed her forehead. Pulling back he stuck out both his arms.

"Now how about I escort you two ladies to diner?" He said and they both giggled as they grabbed and arm and left the building.


Tony was finally back which meant that Ginny had to return to work. It wasn't that she was dreading it, she owed Tony for talking some sense into her. So on the way to the new tower she stopped at a bakery and got one of Tony's favorite treat - strawberry filled doughnuts. Clutching the box and and everything else she needed for the day she headed into the lobby of the new tower seeing Tony standing over blue prints - they were working on the upper half of the tower, seeing as the bottom was complete. He turned when she walked in.

"Ah, dearest Ginny! It's good to see you coming to work." He said flashing her a bright smile.

"It's good to have you back Mr. Stark." She said sitting the box of doughnuts on the table and opening the lid for smiling at the look that crossed Tony's face. He grabbed one of the doughnuts and shoved it into his mouth quickly.

"You are a God send, girl." He said munching on the treat and going back toward the blue prints.

Ginny just smiled as she headed over to some couches sitting up her 'office' for the day. She answered e-mails for Tony, returned some phone calls for interviews, and the usual things she did being Tony Stark's assistant. A few hours after the arrived she was pulled out of a phone call by Tony yelling out.

"Coulson!" Looking up she noticed an unfamiliar older man with a suit on. He greeted Tony politely. Ginny closed up her laptop and headed over to Tony who had turned toward her.

"I'm taking Coulson here for lunch, these papers need to be taken to the other tower for Pepper. After you drop them off you're good to go." He said handing her a thick heavy stack of papers and turning back toward the new man. "Right, I forgot. Agent Coulson this is Ginny Weasley my new assistant. She's taken Miss Rushman's job after I had to let her go." Tony said a glint coming into his eyes. Ginny was slightly confused, but shifted the papers around to balance on her hip and stuck her hand out.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Coulson."

"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Weasley." He said grasping her hand tightly and shaking it. "If you'll excuse me I need to borrow Mr. Stark." He said flashing her a gentle smile. Ginny looked over to Tony and seeing the slightest nod that he gave her she gave Coulson a sweet smile.

"Of course, like Mr. Stark said I've got to head over and see Ms. Potts anyway. It was a pleasure meeting you." And with a smile toward Tony she was headed toward her 'office' packing it away and heading out the door with a finally look to see Tony it seemed to be picking on the new comer.


Ginny sat in the living room after coming home from work that day. Luna was zipping around the kitchen with the clueing appliance following after her cleaning in her wake. The dishes were going in the sink, the brooms were sweeping, the windows were being wiped, and everything was getting dusted. Ginny followed Luna as she ran back and fort her.

"Is something the matter, Lun? I've never seen you like this?" Ginny questions. Luna stopped and just stared. "Hun, are you okay?" She questions.

"I got a call today from Clint." Luna informed her and then started wiping the kitchen table down.

"And that's put you into a cleaning frenzy?" Luna nodded her head franticly.

"Yes! He's coming to New York for the weekend!" Luna said excitedly.

"Really? Why?"

"Something about work and he has to come to his superiors, or something. He wants to hangout before he has to leave." Luna informed her. Ginny grinned.

"Then that means it's time for me to stay at Steve's." She got up off the couch and made the way to her room. Luna followed after her.

"What? Why?" She questions sitting on Ginny's bed.

"Because you haven't see Clint in weeks. So I'll let you have to weekend together. I'll meet him another time." Ginny said throwing clothes into a overnight bag. When Luna didn't say anything she looked over her shoulder to see her best friend with a wide grin on her face. Next thing she knew Luna was hugging her tight.

"You're the best!" She said jumping up and down. Ginny laughed loudly.

"Don't worry this benefits both of us." Ginny informed her. "When will he be here?"

"Sometime today." Luna answered. "I need to go get changed." And with that she ran out of the room and towards her own. Ginny smiled watching her friend. Picking up her bag she headed toward the door as she texted Steve letting him know she was coming over. Opening the door she stopped in enough time to stop herself from running into a man who had his hand raised to knock on the door. He was older, maybe thirty-eight, with muscled arms. Short blonde hair, blue eyes, and tan skin.

"Ah, hey. I'm looking for Luna?" He questions looking Ginny over.

"Clint?" She questions her smile growing.

"Yeah, you are?"

"Ginny, Luna's best friend and roommate. Go on in, she's waiting for you." She said walking out of the door and letting him in. She turned around and smiled. "Have fun." And with that she closed the door and was on her way out of the building.


The late morning light woke Ginny up that Saturday as she stretched in the large bed. Looking around the room she saw Steve sitting on the floor across from her with his sketch pad in his hand. He wore his sleep pants and a white t-shirt. Smiling Ginny got out of the bed and went over to him. Bending down she gave him a simple kiss and looked over at his newest sketch. It was her sleeping. She was wearing one of his t-shirts and it had ride up with her hands underneath her face. Her hair fell over her shoulder. She looked extremely peaceful. Steve smiled up at her.

"Do you like it?" He said. He was nervous never before had he drawn something like that and he didn't want to cross the line. Ginny gave him another kiss.

"Love it." With that she stood up and headed toward the door before she walked out though she looked over her shoulder. "You finish up, I'll start on a brunch." And with a wink and kiss blown toward him she was out of the bedroom.

"What a dame." Steve said with a smile as he looked back toward his sketch.


Please let me know what you think. But just to let you know I'll let you decide if Ginny and Steve have taken that step, let me know if you've think they have or not. And just to let everyone know Luna is a carefree spirit and lives in the moment.
