Gently, Claire threaded the last piece of wiring into the protective shell of the latest Ironman suit and breathed a sigh of relief. "Well done," Tony praised, not looking up from where he was kneeling, doing similar adjustments to the feet of the suit.
Smiling, Claire stepped away, pulling the locks of her hair which had escaped from her ponytail away from her forehead.
"Guys!" The voice came from above. Tony cursed loudly when the interruption almost made him drop his set of electronics forceps, which he was handling with skill.
"Clint!" Claire chided in turn, frowning while she took a drink from the now stone-cold cup of chocolate she'd forgotten on the worktable next to them in all the excitement of finishing up the set of circuits.
"Sorry, but they're announcing Pepper's pregnancy on the news!" Clint said apologetically from his spot still half-obscured in the vents. Both engineers looked up at that, though him sneaking about in the ceiling had left them utterly unmoved. It wasn't like it was a first.
"Jarvis, turn on the appropriate channel!" Tony ordered immediately, making Jarvis (after a polite, "Certainly Sir,") make a screen flicker to life in the middle of a news broadcast.

Back to you, Jessica."
"Thank you, Tess. It is all very exciting. We shall keep you entirely updated on this exciting new report. Now on, to the White House and the new equality plan! President Obama has started an impressive initiative to..."
Suffice to say; Tony, Claire and Clint were all doubled over laughing. Upstairs, Natasha and Pepper shared a kiss on their sofa, and Steve and Bucky smirked over their ice cream, watching it in their bedroom. In the kitchen, the one who'd initially seen the broadcast, Bruce was chopping vegetables for his curry and smirking for himself.
