So, I'm somewhat poorly studied on the Avengers, but even I do know that things... well escalate is an understatement! So I thought, what if after the first assembly of the Avengers... they do stop Loki and Thanos, and things go back to normal? How would Tony Stark and Virginia Pepper Potts lives look like, after the camera zooms out from them standing happily in the ruined Stark Tower, starting a new project together?
And you know, things like Bucky or Hydra or Black Panther is settled... peacefully?
I do not claim to own Marvel. No way would I sit here in the cold, in too big of a fluffy shirt to stay warm, if I owned Marvel.

Pepper Potts stepped out into the newly renovated living room of Stark tower. Tony had promised to put her name on the next building they'd design together, but as she'd agreed to take his before they'd gotten that far in the rebuilding project, neither had seen the point.
She turned on the television as she started to look for her phone. It had gotten lost last night, as she and Tony had stumbled in way too late, slightly drunk - but mostly on each other. Tony could be annoying and infuriating and generally useless, but she had never been so happy with anybody. Ever. They fit together, and she loved him deeply for all his faults. She had faults too.
Rescuring her phone - which wasn't dead because of the beauty and wonder of Starkphones - she was shocked to find over four dozen missed calls, and some sort of message from almost everybody she had weekly contact with.
She didn't need them to find out why, however, as the large screen behind her loudly proclaimed the rumour that Tony Stark had finally been caught out cheating on his longtime girlfriend - possibly even fiancee - Pepper Potts.
She couldn't help it. She knew it to be a lie, but her breath caught anyway.
Five second later, when an adorably sleep-ruffled Tony Stark emerged with two cups of coffee and the arch-reactor shining through his old Van-Halen t-shirt, she knew full well that it was unfair of her, but that she was going to ask him anyway.
She also knew that he wouldn't blame her. For all his many faults, Tony Stark was a wonderful human being, and the very best of boyfriends.
