Once they were in the hall, he motioned for her to follow him, "Do you have any idea why you are here?"

She shook her head, "No sir."

"You can call me Tony, no need for such formalities."

"Okay, sorry Mr. Stark sir, it's just," she paused, trying to find the right words.

"You're slightly intimidated by me?" he asked

She nodded, "Yes, I also have no idea why I'm here."

"That is where we are heading now."

He put his hand on a scanner and it opened a door. Behind the door where all of Tony's current inventions and machinery, she entered, amazed, "I can't believe this, its…"

"Amazing?"

"I was going to say bloody terrific but that works too."

He began to walk around the room, "SHIELD put me in charge of a case, it appears someone has hacked into their database and as much as I hate to admit it, I cannot figure out whatever code they are using. Along with that, your deduction skills could be extremely useful."

"Woah, slow down, let me get this right, you, Anthony Edward Stark, needed to get the help of a female younger than you to figure something out? Also adding that if it wasn't for Axelia, I wouldn't be here right now, in more ways than one."

He sighed and crossed his arms, "Are you willing to help or not?"

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?"

"Good, and I'm sure you can tell this is an extremely important mission and needs to be started as soon as possible." She nodded, "But I also understand that you may want to explore, since this is your first night and I don't trust you enough to allow you to stay here alone with all of this," he motioned to everything around him.

She nodded, "I understand, I wouldn't be able to leave you alone with any of my creations either, no offence Mr. Stark."

"None taken," he said as he led her out of the room.

They headed back to the dining room in silence, "Uh oh, we left Axe alone."

Tony raised an eyebrow, "No, the guys are with her."

A look of concern crossed Cora's face, "That's what I mean." She ran to the dining room, nearly breaking the doors from their hinges, "Is anything on fire?!"

She saw Bucky standing in the middle of the room, looking straight at her, Axelia tied to a chair facing the left wall and Steve tied to a chair facing the right wall, "They started flirting with each other and I decided that the last virgin standing in our group of recruits needs to stay a virgin."

Cora put a hand on his shoulder, "Thank you for that, I still want to win that bet with Axe and if it wasn't for you, I think she would've won tonight."

Steve was trying his best to get out of his restraints, "JAMES BUCHANAN BARNES YOU ARE SO LUCKY I'M TIED TO A CHAIR."

Bucky grinned, "Am I? You may now be the taller one, but I'm completely sure that I am by far still the attractive strong one."

"Accurate," Cora said, trying to mask it in a cough.

"See! Even the cute one agrees with me!"

Cora took a step closer to him, "Call me cute again and I will punch you."

"No no, call her cute again, do it!" Axelia yelled from the chair, somehow managing to turn it around to watch.

"But then I'd be forced to punch him and I really don't want to ruin his face, it's pretty."

Confusion crossed his features, "Did you just call me pretty?"

She smiled, like a mother would to her child, and patted his head, "Yes, like in a little kid kind of way."

"That is not what she means," Cora pulled a screwdriver from her pocket, "don't even believe her. She thinks you-" She was cut off when the screwdriver flew right past her head, "she thinks you're hot, she just won't say it."

Cora glared at her, "Like how you used to think Felber was hot?"

Axelia stuck her tongue out, "Sure."

"That's it, you're staying there overnight." she walked over to Steve and cut the rope, then walked out of the room. Axelia looked to the guys for help, they just shrugged and followed Cora. Tony shook his head at them and walked away to do whatever Tony Stark does in his free time.

"Guys? Guys. A little help!?"

Cora sighed and walked back, "I'm only doing this because I want it to be quiet if I need a snack or something during the night." she cut the rope, but still held it tight for a second

"Because you didn't eat at dinner?"

Cora dropped the rope, "You have five seconds."

Axelia ran to their room, yelling, "SHE LIKES YOU," when she passed the guys.
