Hello my dear readers. I would like to apologize for the delay. The last month or so has been very stressful and a little sad for me, honestly. For a while it was hard for me to write this pairing but I'm back :) and there is way more to come. I have figured out and mapped out the rest of this fic. I really hope you'll like it. Believe me, it's going to be a roller coaster of emotions. Thank you for understanding
Jenna was sitting on the couch, sipping at a coffee and watching the news. The reporter was going on about various terrorist attacks on New York and other big cities. Bombs were going off but no bombs were ever found. They had no evidence of who or what was causing these explosions but they hoped to find out soon.
"Should things continue to get worse, will our heroes of New York reveal themselves once more and take care of the issue at hand? Or did our controversy over their helpfulness scare them off. Only time will tell. I'm Maggie Woods, this has been your 6 o'clock news. Join us tomorrow morning as we dive into secret world of billionaire Tony Stark and his possible secret lover. More on that later. Thank you for joining us, goodnight."
Jenna rolled her eyes as she turned off the TV. "People are dying in terrorist attacks and they still want to dig into people's lives." She grumbled as she rubbed her forehead. She released an annoyed sigh before slowly standing and walking into the kitchen. She started to work on a pot of coffee; Tony would want some when he got home. She had just stepped away from the machine when JARVIS's voice rung through the house.
"Welcome home Mr. Stark."
Jenna couldn't help as the corners of her lips pulled into a small smile. She ran a hand through her hair quickly at the sound of approaching footsteps. Tony appeared only moments later and released a small sigh. He looked exhausted but when he met Jenna's eyes he visibly relaxed a little. Jenna gave him a bigger smile, knowing he probably needed one. She kept her eyes on him as he moved closer and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her in for a short kiss.
"Hey." He said with a slight sigh.
"Hey." Jenna returned
Tony pulled away from her and opened one of the cabinets, reaching to the top shelf and grabbing a mug. He had to stand on his tiptoes but Jenna decided not to comment on that at the moment. He lowered himself back to the ground and grabbed the coffee pot, slowly pouring the blackish-brown liquid into the small white mug.
"So-" Tony started, turning to face her again, "What did you do today?"
Jenna shrugged her shoulders and her lips pulled into a small, indifferent, frown. "Nothing really, just cleaned a few things, looked for a case, watched some TV."
"A case?" the billionaire asked instantly "Looking for a reason to leave?"
"No." She said with a roll of her eyes. "But I'm not just going to quit my job because I'm living with you. I still need to save people's lives."
"I think I save enough lives for the two of us." He tried, gesturing between them.
Jenna shot him an annoyed look and folded her arms, shifting her weight. "Anthony Edward Stark."
"Don't call me that." He snapped. Tony took a deep breath and sighed before continuing "Please don't call me that. I don't like it. But fine. You want to leave? You can go."
"Tony." Jenna tried, taking his hand "I don't want to leave, I just can't stop doing what I have to do."
Tony looked down at their hands and then slowly lifted his eyes to her face. "Look Jenna, I've done a lot of stupid things in my life. And I've lost a lot of people because of stupid things too. I don't want to lose you too. I just got you."
"I'll be fine." She assured him with a small smile "And besides, I didn't find anything anyways. Just saw something on the news about explosions and possible terror attacks."
"I heard about those." Tony said, raising his mug to his lips and sipping at it thoughtfully. "I bet SHIELD is already working on it. Things should be taken care of soon."
Jenna raised an eyebrow at him, "If you say so."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tony asked,
"They looked bad, Tony." Jenna admitted shifting her weight between her feet nervously. "Unlike anything my type of monsters would cook up."
"Still, SHIELD handles things like this all the time, we'll be fine." Tony shrugged, not really caring. "Look, there's only one thing I really care about right now." He smiled, setting down the mug and pulling her to him for a kiss.
Jenna had just started kissing him back when he pushed her away. "My new suit." He finished.
Jenna frowned and raised an eyebrow "O-okay?"
"I can't get this thing to work. here, follow me." He led her down the stairs to the lab and had JARVIS pull up the details on the suit. "See that there?" He pointed to a random blue thingy that Jenna had no idea what it was.
"Yeah?" She asked, folding her arms
"It's a new feature. It's supposed to create a sort of force field but of corse I haven't figured it out yet." He sighed "I've got theories but nothing seems to work."
"Well I'm sure you'll figure it out." She said, slightly disinterested.
He looked to her and frowned "What? You don't like it?"
"I just don't understand it." She said honestly "I'm not a genius"
Tony frowned again "Well maybe not, but I could show you. Or try to explain?"
Jenna shook her head and took a small step closer to him. "Tony we really should talk about those explosions. How do you know things wont go south?"
"Jenna." He started, running a hand through his hair with an annoyed sigh. "Can we not talk about explosions?"
"Tony-" and thats when his phone vibrated
Tony frowned and looked at it before picking up "Stark." He started
Jenna leaned against the worktable and folded her arms, watching him curiously.
"I'm busy, Phil." Tony said, rolling his eyes.
Pause.
"What? No. Of course not I was-"
Tony looked at Jenna as he listened to the man on the other end.
"Look can't I have a few minutes" He asked with a roll of his eyes.
Jenna shook her head at him and smiled slightly.
"Ten Minutes. Ten minutes and I'll start that way. Ten minutes or I don't come at all. Final offer." Tony said, also smiling at her.
"Good. I'll see you later." Tony hung up and put his phone aside.
"Who's Phil?" Jenna asked, unfolding her arms.
"Works for SHIELD." Tony stepped close to her "Said he needed my help with saving the world. I said I'd be there in a bit." He kissed her and tugged her closer by her shirt. Jenna smirked into the kiss and shivered at the feeling of his hands against her skin as they slid under her shirt just slightly.
"Tony," she broke the kiss. "Look I like this, but you remember what we said about saving people? You need to go." She urged, looking into his eyes.
"Jenna." He sighed and looked her over
"Now." She ordered with a pointed look.
Tony rolled his eyes at her and stepped back "Fine, I'll be back."
She nodded to him as he backed towards the door. "I'll make sure the house doesn't fall apart while you're gone."
He smiled at her again before he stepped out of sight and went off to save the world. Or so they both thought.
