Author's Note:
Yes, I used this chapter in a literal form, not in the way people have joked. I had my laughs with the title, I hope you have yours.
Tony P.O.V:
I hug Emily to try to calm her nerves, but nothing happened. I'm not used to this kind of things, I'm not good dealing with emotions. Opening the door, I ask her if she wanted to grab a few things from her apartment. She flinched as response and looked away. On the way to the tower, she remained silent. Emily was curled up like a little ball, her head against her knees, shaking and sobbing. I tried to get her to talk, but she wouldn't budge. We got to the tower and she was still shaking. When Bruce saw her she was alarmed. They had become the bestest friends this past few months. I put her away in the sofa and she remained in the same fetal position she had in the car. I go back to the mini bar and pour a glass of scotch. "Tony, what happened?"
"For some reason, someone tried to kidnap her just a few minutes ago." I took a sip. "It couldn't be because we are going out…"
"Do you think it's H.Y.D.R.A? Steve told me he wants to assemble the team to deal with what he couldn't."
I shook my head. "There are no records of her, no birth certificate, high school diploma… Nothing!" I slam the glass to the cabinet and startled her. She looked back at me with tears in her eyes. "Ems, do you want Bruce to join us in the movie marathon?"
She nodded with a little smile. That was progress… She asked me if she could pick the toppings for the pizza and the first movie. I smile and nod. She wanted bacon as a topping and she wanted to see the Oculus, I've never heard of the movie, but it must be interesting.
The pizza delivery got here fast and to my surprise the cook from the diner, Billy, I think. He looked at me with a glare and gave me the pizza. Emily saw who it was, she rushed to hug him. "Teddy Bear!" She said. "What are you doing here?"
"I deliver pizzas on the weekend when the holidays are near," He said. "How do you think I was able to give you that laptop for your birthday and that mini fridge on Christmas."
She turned to me and smiled. "Tony, his name is Bill, but I sometimes call him Teddy Bear. He's like a dad to me." She said. "Billy, I guess you know Tony already."
He gave me a deadly smile. "Nice to meet you Stark, hope you take care of Little Girl." We shook hands for a few seconds.
"You can count on it, sir."
He looked back at Emily. "You take care, sweetie, see you in Thanksgiving." He left and I saw Emily was finally back to normal. She greeted Bruce properly and we began to watch the movie… I don't know what the hell was up in that girl's mind, but Bruce and I almost shit our pants watching this movie while she was falling asleep… FALLING FUCKING ASLEEP. When the movie finally ended she was sleeping like a baby. She had her arms wrapped on my right arm and her head was resting on my shoulder. "She looks peaceful. I don't know if watching that movie was therapeutic, but it sure seemed to do the trick to calm her down." Bruce said. "What are you going to do now? She can't go back there, they will try and kidnap her again."
I sigh. I know he's right, but I can't do anything against her will. I want her to stay here with me, hell I've been thinking that since I saw where she lived. "I don't know Bruce, I am prone to danger and I don't want her to go through what Pepper went through and get dumped again."
Bruce smiled, it was a wicked smile. "You said, you dumped her." I snarled. "I'm pretty sure, she won't leave you. She's the only one that's seeing the 'normal guy' and not Iron Man. We've been texting and she said that whatever danger she would be in, she knew you would be there for her and make the right decision."
"Wait… When did you start texting?"
"That's not the point Tony, keep her in the guest room of your floor and we'll ask her in the morning if she wants to move in."
I sigh, he was damn right. I keep wondering how and when he became my girlfriend's BFF. Trying to loosen her grip was hard. She would tighten it. Bruce laughed and said I wasn't going to leave that sofa unless I woke her up… I pulled my finger up and let him laugh as he left the room. It took a few hours for me to fall asleep placing my head above hers.
