Erin

"Oh my god Erin those pictures of you and Steve were so cute!" I rolled my eyes, the images of the mag still fresh in my mind. It had taken the media a month to figure out that Steve and I were dating. It had been a nice silent month, but the cameras clicked and flashed wherever I went now and it was a little stressful.

Steve was a much more high profile guy then I had ever dated, it didn't bother, not at all, it was just weird. We both understood what it meant to be involved with the other when we decided we were actually with each other. I couldn't quite remember when we had gone from being just friends getting to know each other to people in a romantic relationship.

I remember our first kiss though, something I will never forget. I had taken the initiative. It was still a little difficult for me to remember sometimes that he had come from the 1940s, so with his constant chivalry and respect toward women, I was sure we'd probably be waiting until pigs flew before he'd be kissing me, so I kissed him myself.

I jumped when I was whacked on the head. Looking over at Chelle, I glared at her, pulling the magazine from her grasp.

"What was that for?"

"You're in Steve Land and I'm having a conversation with you!"

Blushing, I looked down at the open spread in my hands. We did look completely adorable together. I couldn't help but smile as I looked down at us. Shaking my head, I looked back up at her again.

"What were you saying?"

Giggling, Chelle settled more against the couch. This shoot was taking a lot out of her. Not that she was getting any sleep when she left the set, spending all her nights at the Avengers' Tower, but the filming itself was quite strenuous. She was trying an action film, determined not to be stuck in one genre. I knew she could do it, and she was determined, but it was still taking a lot out of her.

"Since I'm wrapping this up here, and I'm due back in California next week, Tony and I wanna spend as much time together as we can before I do."

I understood that. I was heading back myself at the same time, but Steve was going to come out with me, come visit my home in California. Chelle hadn't said when she and Tony were going to see each other after that, but knowing her, she probably hadn't wanted to discuss it yet. Queen of Procrastination when it comes to something she really doesn't want to do.

"But Tony and I want you and Steve to come out with us tonight."

"That sounds wonderful!"

Both Chelle and I turned to see her agent, Hannah Ranier, at the door to Chelle's trailer. I turned back to see Chelle sitting up straight on the couch again. She didn't want anyone to know how worn out she was. Hannah came up into the trailer and shut the door behind her.

"Hannah? I thought I still had twenty minutes before we continued."

"You do. That's why I thought I'd stop in now and let you know. I just got off the phone with Bree O'Reilly."

She smiled over at me, and I didn't return the smile. I was too interested to know what these two had cooking without talking to us first. I didn't like it when Bree, my manager, would do things behind my back, and I knew Chelle didn't like it either.

"Hi, Erin."

"Can you get to the point, Han?" Chelle interrupted her insincere greeting.

Keeping her smile in place, Hannah continued with what she had come here with. "In light of your recent hookups, we're launching a reality show revolving around your relationships with the Avengers' frontmen."

Both Chelle and I gaped at Hannah as though she had grown another head.

"Excuse me?" Chelle gasped.

I was a little more audible, even if still at a loss for words myself. "WHAT?"

"It will be called," she held her hands up as if they were scrolling a marquee, "Super Ordinary Lives."

Chelle turned to look at me and I shook my head, looking back at the lanky brunette. "There is no way in hell I'm doing that!" I finally found the words to go with what was running around in my head. "Not happening!"

"I don't know..."

I turned to look at Chelle. She looked like she was actuallyconsidering this. "You've gotta be kidding me." Then again, she and Tony were both showboats. They always had to have the media's attention. It really didn't shock me at all that she was considering this. "I'm not doing it. I'm not. Steve won't like it either!"

Chelle stood, walking over to Hannah. "Will you go let them know I'm gonna need a little bit longer?"

Hannah smiled, knowing she had won this match, but I still wasn't going to give into this madness. It was crazy, and that's all there was too it. I wasn't gonna broadcast my relationship to the entire world. Chelle shut the door behind Hannah and turned back to me, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

"No, Chelle! I'm not doing it. You know Steve won't want to do it!"

She came back over to the couch and snuggled up against me, hugging me like I was her stuffed St. Bernard or something.

"I'm not doing this, Chelle. I'm not!"

Chelle

I held onto Erin, nuzzling my head into her neck. Alright, so I wasn't the best at getting things I wanted. I knew how to get things out of Tony and OCCASIONALLY Erin would give in. Not that she liked giving in, I would always owe her afterward, and I seriously would owe her if I could get her to give into me now.

"Come on, Erin! Think about it! We will be even bigger than the Kardashians! You can't say no to that!"

Wow, did I seriously just bring up the Kardashians. Those women, that family, that trainwreck was not something I liked to think about, but everybody loved them. They only wished they were dating someone like who Erin and I were seeing.

"And it's not as though they're not always watching anyway. You know how they are! Besides, I will make sure we the cameras give us some privacy. No bedroom entrance. They DEFINITELY won't be allowed in Tony's lab. Anywhere you and Steve don't want them, they won't be able to go, and I'm sure SHIELD won't allow them in, but yeah, this can work, Errrr! It will be the top-rated show on TV! Can't you see it?"

I knew she really didn't want to do this, but she was going to give in, and I was really excited for it. I really hoped Tony would be too, but I knew him pretty well, if I did say so myself. He was a media whore as much as I was, and I didn't mind that at all. The two of us milked the attention for everything we could get, and gave them all they could handle. Well, I'm quite sure we could go all out even more than we did, but we went farther than most couples. Short of making out in public, the touches and kissing in public was enough already to have people's mouths watering.

We had come out at the TriBeCa Film Festival, showing off that we were indeed together, and we had been all over each other. The cover of InTouch magazine had been stellar. He had his hand possessively splayed over my ass, and the subtitle on the front of the magazine cover that came out two days later said that I was his girl. It was the perfect shot. That showed everyone I was, and I loved being tagged as his girl. Yes, I didn't like tags that much, but I was his girl, and I wanted everyone to know it.

And having this show was going to be an amazing way to do that. I would be in the public eye more, and it would give me more publicity, and I loved that. Not that being with Tony already hadn't given me a boost in that department, but there would be so much more. For a moment, I was worried people would think that I was only with him so it would boost my popularity, but I quickly pushed that away. Tony knew I was with him because I loved him, because we were good together, and that's all that mattered. If the world thought differently, screw them.

"Alright, fine! But I've got to tell Steve before the cameras start following him!"

My eyes widened. "Oh, my God! Of course! We're not doing this until we can draw up a contract all our demands and make sure Tony and Steve aren't exploited, or any of the other Avengers either. I don't want to be standing on the other side of a superhero hissy fit."

I had to admit, I didn't want to anger Banner. I didn't know who in their right mind really did. And I was scared to death of Natasha. Yeah, she lived at the tower with the rest of them, and I'd seen her more than a few times when I was over there, but she scared the fuck out of me. Clint was quite quiet and Thor wasn't always around. I didn't know if it was because he was back on his world or with … Jane Forster... Foster... I couldn't quite remember her name, but from the way Agent talked about him, I was sure he was in love with her.

Steve was the only one I ever really saw regularly. He and Tony were best friends, so that didn't shock me at all. And he was dating Erin, and she's like the sister I always wanted, so we all spent quite a bit of time together. I was so happy she and Steve were together now, and that they were open about being together, because we could go out together more often without having to worry about being discreet anymore.

I wrapped my arms around Erin again, giving her a tight hug. "I love you, Erin! You know that right?"

"Yeah, yeah! But you know you owe me BIG time, right?"

I smiled, jumping off the couch again and grabbed my phone off the makeup table. "Honey, I'm gonna be owing you into the middle of the next century!" Giggling, I dialed Tony's number. "I've gotta call Tony and tell him about this, like you said, before cameras start rolling."

Erin took her phone out of her pocket as well. "I'm gonna call Steve too. Try not to act so smug."

I smirked at her, giving her a wink as Tony answered the phone. "Hey, baby! I have I need to talk. Got a minute?" I knew how busy he was, especially lately, in his lab downstairs, but I hoped I could tell him at least before we had dinner tonight. I needed to talk to him about what he needed to put in the contract I'd write up with Hannah and Gabriel, my lawyer. I had to make sure that all four of us were protected. Erin would most likely want to get her lawyer involved as well. Two heads were better than one.
