I own nothing.

Sharing: Write about sharing something with another person

As was planned, the duo flew to the helecarrier the next morning just after breakfast. Tony stormed onto the bridge with Elena following around behind him.

"Fury, we want to talk to you in private." He stated

"I thought I banned you from this aircraft unless you were invited on."

"We have some very juicy gossip that you not only will want to know but need to know. Your office is this way, right?" Fury rolled his eyes but stormed off in the correct direction. The office was regulation and not a thing had been personalized in it. Elena sat in the stiff chair in front of his desk as Tony stood over her right shoulder.

"So...?"

"Elena and I are together romantically and have been since she broke her wing with the flying insects. I may have also gotten her pregnant and now we are going to have a baby." Fury's one eye twitched slightly so Elena jumped in to try and soften the blow.

"Only Loki and Bruce know about our relationship and we plan to tell the others tonight. Loki is the only other person that knows about my pregnancy because he diagnosed me. We figured we should tell you before the rest of the team so you can say you knew about it before Natasha." He looked between the two people in front of him and sighed.

"You can't go out on missions if you're pregnant."

"We were hoping you could say you put her on suspension for some reason. We want to wait a little while before we tell them about the pregnancy because they are only just finding out about the relationship."

"I also don't want them to think Tony's a man whore who got me pregnant, felt bad, and started dating me."

"Fine, I will come up with something..." Fury paused as if debating something. "Congratulations, I'm surprisingly pleased for you two, especially Tony though. You actually look like you sleep now, you haven't done that or trusted anyone enough to spend the night with them since before you almost died from the palladium."

"Thank you director, we should probably get going. Have a nice day, or at least not an annoying one." Elena smirked as she dragged Tony from the room and then from the airship. They flew home and waited for Bruce in the kitchen he usually used for lunch. It was private and none of the other avengers used the labs or the kitchens near them. Bruce wandered into the kitchen with his head down and his fingers dancing over the screen of a stark pad.

"Hey Bruce, you know a bunch of medical stuff right?" the aforementioned man jumped at the sound of his lab partners voice.

"Hi Tony, what did you do now that needs medical attention?"

"I got her pregnant."

"You what?"

"Hey that was his reaction!"

"Umm..."

"Can you tell how far along a pregnancy is?"

"Yes..."

"Good, do it."

"Does this mean you're going to tell the team everything?" the duo explained their plan and Bruce nodded. "Can I skip that shit storm?"

"No." Tony stated with a smile

"Fine, let's go see how far along you are."

"Are you going to eat first?"

"Nope, JARVIS told me you two were standing here like creeps so I came to see why."

"I'm not a creep if it's my building."

"Yes you are, don't kid yourself." Elena patted him on the arm as she walked passed him. He scowled but it was ruined when it quickly turned into a smile when she gave him a quick kiss. The tests were done quickly and it was determined that Elena was two months along. She nodded and smiled slightly before hugging Bruce and skipping from the lab leaving two grinning geniuses.

Dinner finally came and Tony and Elena waited anxiously for the best time to tell everyone the news, or part of it. The meal was close to ending when Loki and Bruce both looked at the couple, who had managed to sit side by side at the table, and raised questioning eyebrows. Elena looked at Tony and motioned for him to speak; he rolled his eyes but assented and spoke up, cutting off Steve's war story as he did.

"Hey guys, guess what."

"Tony, you just cut Steve off." Sam intoned

"My story is much better and actually pertains to the here and now."

"Fine, just tell your story then sit back and let Steve finish his." Natasha rolled her eyes and sighed in annoyance.

"So you won't ask any questions or make any comments after I tell it?"

"For God's sake Tony, speak!" Steve burst out

"Fine, so here I was and here Elena was, then we started to talk about elephants. I got drunk, she got drunk; we slept together, and then avoided each other for a time. Then we talked about elephants again when she broke her wing and we kissed; now we're dating and a happy couple. The end, continue Steve."

"What? I'm not continuing now! We need to talk about this!" Steve blurted out

"Does Fury know?" Natasha asked

"What do you mean 'elephants'?" Clint asked

"So it started with a one night stand?" Bucky had a smirk on his face and seemed quite content.

"Why don't Loki and Bruce seem surprised?" Wanda had her eyes narrowed and focused on the two men who seemed entirely unimpressed.

"Yes, Fury knows, technically it started with a one night stand but it didn't really start for a few weeks after that happened so... no? Bruce and Loki already knew and have since the beginning."

"You skipped my question." Clint pointed out

"Any other questions?"

"Yeah, mine!"

"Well, if there are no more questions can we go now?"

"ANSWER MY QUESTION!"

"Yes Clint we said elephants and we meant, like, elephant in the room and pink elephants. In other words we talked about why he never sleeps, got drunk and saw the pink elephants, and then we talked about him avoiding me."

"Oh, thank you Elena, I like you more than I like Stark. You should be my new areal partner when we're on missions." Clint smiled sheepishly and Elena smirked back.

"She can't, Fury suspended her for a little while."

"What? Why?" Steve asked

"Ask him, I just agreed because he's the boss." Elena stated, her phone began to ring and when she looked at it everyone at the table noticed her skin tone pale.

"What's wrong?" Tony asked as he put a hand on her shoulder

"My parents are calling me, they never call me; they hate me."

"Are you going to answer it?"

"No?"

"You're going to answer it."

"Okay." She picked up the phone and everyone watched as she was basically lectured from the other side of the call. She answered in small tones and sat meekly as she was talked at instead of to. When she hung up the phone her eyes were wide and scared so the team watched as Tony pulled her to him. They were surprised that he would be that way, even if they were together.

"What's going on?" He whispered into her hair from where his chin rested on her shoulder. His subdued manner was another surprise to the team but they snapped out of it in favor of hearing what was wrong.

"They're coming... to New York... with my sister. They want to visit me while they're here. They don't know anything about my life here, or that I'm an avenger. I haven't talked to them since I moved to the Tower."

"Why are they coming here in the first place? You told me they hated New York."

"They did, until my sister got a job at a hospital here. Now they love it here and are coming over to help her move into her apartment. At least I can live with the knowledge that I have the nicer place and a cooler job that's harder to get than hers."

"Where is she moving?" Tony seemed to be avoiding the questions the rest of the team wanted answered but they let him lead the questioning.

"Brooklyn I think."

"How are they traveling here?"

"Plane, her stuff is coming in overnight delivery to her new place."

"When are they getting here?"

"One week from today at 11am,"

"What aren't you mentioning?"

"I have to go pick them up and bring them to my apartment because her stuff isn't going to be arriving until 3:30pm."

"What if you didn't have a car? What would they expect you to do? They think you're broke and can barely afford food and rent, let alone a car and the gas prices here."

"Order a cab or a car? They said they would pay for half the fair."

"You wanna take one of my cars and some company?"

"Yes to the car, no to the company. I would rather scare them when they get here than in public at the airport." Tony chuckled and kissed her neck lightly.

"I'll call one of my more discreet drivers to be here for 9:30 one week from today. That should give you time to get to the airport and a place to park before you get inside and wait." Tony stood and pulled out his cell before leaving the room. Elena stayed staring blankly at the table in front of her. Tony came back moments later and looked at her with concern. "Come on, you should relax, you've had a busy day." He smirked before picking her out of her chair and lifting her into her arms like she was nothing. The team watched as he carried her to the elevator and ordered JARVIS to bring them to his room.

"Well that was eventful..." Natasha stated

"Not as eventful as next week will be." Sam mentioned. He really had no idea.
