A/N: Hello! I bring you, at reader request, Meg/Jay/Clara friendship and fluff :)

Sharing is Caring

Meg had two soulmates. Jay Stark, and Clara Collins. The initial meeting between Jay and Clara went well, a mutual hi, who are you, how much ranch are you gonna put on your pizza? Ranch, you uneducated mortal? Then a few laughs, and some Xbox playing. Afterwards... it was a little rough.

"What do you mean you're busy?" Jay asked, his jaw on the ground.

"I'm going with Clara to the mall. Her cousin has a manicure place and we're gonna do our nails and look around. Mom's taking us." The three security guards and one superhero (Pietro) were not mentioned, as they were a de facto part of life.

"Oh," Jay said, dropping his gaze. "I, hope you have a good time."

"You can come if you want," Meg offered.

"No, that's boring. I have things to do anyways. Never mind."

Meg smiled at him. "We can hang out tomorrow, okay?"

"Yeah. Stay safe."

"You too. No explosions."

Meg signed off, and Jay closed the video comm with a gusty sigh.

"Why the long face, kiddo?" Rhodey asked, as he passed through the living room.

"Meg's busy," Jay said, slumping back into the sofa.

"So?"

"She's busy with her other soulmate," Jay grumbled, folding his arms.

Rhodey hid a smile behind his hand and sat down on the sofa next to Jay. He slung an arm around him. "How many soulmates does your aunt Di have?" he asked.

"Lots," Jay muttered.

"And do any of them feel neglected?"

Jay thought about it. "No," he said.

"And how many soulmates does your dad have?"

"Three."

"Has he ever neglected any of 'em?"

"No."

"Do you think Meg's gonna abandon you?"

"No?"

Rhodey sighed and hugged him. "C'mon, Jay. The two of you have been inseperable since she was born. She's not going to up and forget you. She's just got a new friend, a new soulmate, who's a girl. They're gonna be like sisters. You've gotta respect that, man."

"I do, I just," Jay huffed impatiently. "She's my soulmate."

Rhodey ruffled the boy's hair. "Sharing is caring, squirt."

"Whatever," Jay said, but Rhodey could see the young man was thinking about it.

Two hours later, Jay was surprised by a call from Clara. "Hello?" he asked.

"Jay! Wanna come see a movie with us?"

He stared at the cell phone. "I thought you guys were busy?" he asked.

"Well we did our nails and then we found some cute dresses but we wanted to watch the new Jurassic Park movie in 4D, so you have to come with us to break down the mechanics so Clara won't freak out. Please?"

Jay smiled. "Sure. I'll be there in fifteen."

"Jay, it takes thirty minutes to get to the mall."

"I know."

"Jay."

He sighed. "Fine. Twenty five minutes."

"Kay."

Jay, accompanied by his own security guard, hopped in a car and headed for the mall. The girls and Aunt Diana were waiting for him by the movie theater entrance. "Hey," he said, kissing his aunt on the cheek and smiling at the two girls. "Shall we?"

He insisted on paying, since he was the gentleman, ("and the billionaire" "Yeah, yeah, whatever Jay"), and they all got popcorn and drinks.

Jay suddenly found himself sitting between the two girls. He shifted awkwardly a few times, since sharing an armrest with a semi-stranger was always an awkward experience, but he and Clara made it work.

After the movie, Diana asked them what they wanted to do. "We could go back to the house for dinner," she offered. "Steve's making fettucini alfredo."

"Yes!" Jay and Meg instantly yelled. "It's the best," Jay assured Clara, who looked a little startled at the enthusiastic response.

"Cool," Clara said, nodding. "That sounds great."

By the end of dinner, Jay decided Clara was okay. He was reassured by the fact that Meg included him and Clara in conversation equally, and Clara thought he was awesome. He caught her looking at him strangely a couple of times, and wondered why.

He cornered her in the living room, while Meg was helping her mom with the dishes. "What's up?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. The "Pepper Potts" eyebrow he'd inherited worked on everybody.

Clara caved instantly. "I don't know," she said, shrugging. "I guess, I'm just a little jealous I think."

"Huh?" came the witty response.

She shrugged again. "I mean, you and Meg have been soulmates for like, ever, and, I'm the new one. You and Meg have all these inside jokes, and you know her super well, and I, don't. I don't know. Sorry for staring at you."

Jay gave her a slight smile. So they were both jealous. Huh. "Don't worry about it," he assured her, slinging an arm around her shoulders like he would do to Meg. "We can share. You'll have plenty of time to make your own inside jokes. Trust me, we're a very joking family. So many puns. Probably too many dad jokes."

She grinned.

Meg came out of the kitchen, and beamed at them. "I'm really glad you guys are being friends too," she declared, hugging them both. "Okay, so, we have ice cream or cake, plus the latest episode of Doctor Who."

"Ice cream," Jay said, at the same time Clara said,

"Cake."

They shared a glance, and chorused, "Both."

Meg grinned. "Both is good."
