A/N This is a special chapter for me, Tony to help his "kids" understand why he let steve off the hook. Cause I felt like they would be pretty damn mad at him.

I sat in my room in the tower, Wanda sat on the other end of the bed. Both of us were locked in. Suddenly the door opened and Mr. Stark entered. "Hey," The older man quietly greeted gently, as Wanda and I merely nodded. "Wanda was fiddling with the sleeves of her cardigan, making her bangles jingle. I glanced at Mr. Stark silently, waiting for him to say something. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror that was propped up against the wall. My hair was going everywhere, it looked rather comical.

My thoughts were interrupted by Wanda " Why are you so kind to him?" she asked, now playing with her long hair.

" I stopped caring about who hurt me and who didn't years ago," He replied pensively. "Still!" She exclaimed, now exasperated. "Wanda, My mom once gave me some amazing advice: Figlio mio, il modo migliore per vendicarti di qualcuno è porgere l'altra guancia come se non ti importasse. Li ferisce di più," He replied quietly.

"My son, the best way to get back at someone, is to turn the other cheek like you don't care. It hurts them the most," I translated. Tony nodded and got up. "It's my turn to cook, Pete wanna come help? Wanda, you can join us once you've cooled down," He declared firmly as I looked at the woman.

Wanda and I nodded. He left and I turned quickly to Wanda "I know you hate him but let's do something minor instead of trying to kill him," I hurriedly whispered. "What do you have in mind?" she asked mischievously. I whispered the plan into her ear and watched her grin grow wider and wider.

"So you go collect stuff for our plan... Ok?" I finished as I left for the kitchen. "Took you long enough," Mr. Stark huffed as I walked in.

I was about to say something when " Oye, WHAT ARE THE TWO OF YOU DOING IN A KITCHEN?" Colonel Rhodes screamed. "Rhode-" Mr. Stark started "Nope, the last time you cooked, you almost burnt the house down!" the colonel continued, simply ignoring his friend.

"Fine, you can watch us cook to make sure we don't burn anything!" Mr. Stark Exclaimed, talking over the last part of the other man's rant. "Fine but we're playing the game," the Colonel compromised. "Colonel Rhodes, what game?" I asked, ignoring Mr. Stark's groan. "It's Rhodey. Take a seat kid, when we were in college, I would cook and Tony would get the groceries, clean up and set the table. One day, we couldn't decide what to make. So, we came up with a game. We would randomly call a bunch of ingredients, and then the cook would have to make the meal using those ingredients," He explained.

"Wanna play?" asked as he grabbed an apron. I shrugged and plopped down next to Rhodey. "Let's- wait a minute, Wanda?" Mr. Stark said, spotting the girl. "Tony… Umm, I'm going shopping with Nat. She wanted to talk about something," Wanda mumbled grabbing the spy's arm on her way out.

Luckily, Natasha understood and waved at us before disappearing down the stairs. "Okay. Let's start," Mr. Stark declared after Friday announced they had left.

"All right, Umm milk, eggs, carrots, spinach, Turkey, salt and broccoli," Rhodey began, pointing to where they were located. Mr. Stark wrote something down and turned to me. "Salt, Chicken, Pasta, Mushrooms, Paprika, Tomatoes, and Basil," I quickly replied. "All right, we got the main course. What about dessert?" Mr. Stark questioned. Rhodey and I hurriedly decided and in the end decided on basic ingredients "Sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil and vanilla extract,"

He nodded and began cooking. "Boss, would you like me to play some music?" Friday asked after a few minutes, we shrugged as the first song began to play " Finders keepers, losers weepers," I knew the song I couldn't remember whose it was until "I'm taking back the crown!" abruptly started singing along loudly. And that's when it hit me. It was one of my favorite songs. I swayed along with it, as Mr. Stark sang along and Rhodey laughed.

It was all so domestic, it made me forget that they were the avengers for a moment. It was perfect.

The song was Emperor's new clothes by Panic! at the disco. Please review
