Tony walked into the main kitchen area of the tower grumbling under his breath about Pepper influencing JARVIS to lock him out of his lab at 'unreasonable times'. He stopped in the door way of the kitchen at the sight of Steve humming to himself as he made breakfast. Spotting the pot of coffee made he wandered his way over to get some quietly.

"Holy Mother of Jesus!" He exclaimed after taking a sip of the hot coffee. "You make some strong ass coffee…."

Steve looked over his shoulder at Tony and shook his head. Bruce, who was at the table, covered his laugh behind a cough. "Tony…normal coffee doesn't have the same effects on someone with the super solider serum in them. Why are you up this early?" Bruce asked.

Tony looked at the time on the microwave and sighed. "Pepper had JARVIS lock me out of my lab if I left for anything at an 'unreasonable time.'"

"Have you even gone to bed yet?"

"No…"

"When was the last time you happened to actually sleep? Not on the workbench."

"Few days now," Tony grumbled. Bruce raised an eyebrow at his fellow scientist as he set down the morning paper.

"Okay….When was the last time you ate…?" Steve asked from his spot at the stove.

"I've been busy lately. Besides missing a meal or two never hurt anyone."

"Sit." Steve turned around and pointed his spatula at the table.

"Woof?" Tony said as he sat across from Bruce. "Is this a normal occurrence for the two of you?"

"For the past week at least now most of us have been coming down to breakfast, well if Steve is the one cooking," Clint sleepily mumbled as he rubbed his eyes, walking into the kitchen.

Steve pointed to the second coffee pot in the kitchen. "That one has the regular coffee."

Clint nodded and made his way over to the coffee pot, once he had his coffee he sat next to Tony. Bruce picked up his morning newspaper once again, letting Tony observe and make up his own mind about their morning routine.

"So I thought we had a rule about being fully clothed in public areas?" Tony said looking at Clint's attire.

"You know what, we're all just happy he is wearing more than his birthday suit to breakfast," Steve laughed. "The first time he showed up to breakfast with Bruce and me, he had no shame walking in wearing nothing."

"I suppose…at least he's wearing sweatpants," Tony looked around and jumped a bit when he saw Natasha sitting on the counter beside Steve. "When the hell did you get here?"

Natasha just smiled at him before reaching across Steve to the plate of bacon sitting on the back on the stove. She looked like she was actually awake, compared to Clint anyway.

"Maybe if you ever came out of your lab every once and awhile you would be able to get on a schedule with the rest of your team," Pepper scolded as she slipped into the kitchen carrying her briefcase. "Sorry Steve, I can't stay for breakfast today. Got called in again."

Steve nodded before pointing her to the coffee thermos and travel plate that was set up for her. Pepper smiled brightly and touched his arm as she passed him, muttering a soft 'thank-you' before leaving. Steve turned around and with the help of Natasha brought over two plate of bacon, dozens of pancakes, and a large bowl of fruit.

"You guys do this every morning about this time?" Tony asked tilting his head as he watched them. Once everything was on the table and everyone was seated did the plates start filling up.

"Yup. Trust me, Steve's food is to die for," Clint said between bites, not bothering to look up at Tony.

After that first walk in of his team eating together, Tony started coming out of his lab for breakfast and shortly after passed out on the couch. They may be an odd group but they were finding ways to be around each other more. Even if it required getting up at ungodly hours and putting on clothing or getting out of the lab.
