Her alarm went off at ten exactly. She got up and went and took a quick shower and went into her closet and pulled out a white tank top and a pair of jeans. She was sick of always dressing business casual. After blow drying her and doing her make up she decide to leave her room and explore. She grabbed her map and made her way to the basement level to see her office.
It seemed like the basement level was full of underground tunnels all leading different ways. Alex followed her map until she was at a door that read Alexandria Stark she then took her key and unlocked the door. When she went in it was a simple and nice office. It had everything she could have possibly have needed from her old office.
As she was admiring her office she suddenly heard a little explosion down the hall. Alex ran out towards the noise with the paranoid thought that Tony had to be behind it, and once she reached the giant lab with a giant glass window her suspicions were confirmed. She tried opening the door but couldn't She then banged on the door as loud as she could and yelled "Tony open the Damn door!" A few times until he finally did. "What did you do now?" She asked trying not to laugh at his face covered in black.
"Just messing with my new toys... What are you doing down here?" Tony asked wiping his face with a piece of cloth.
"My own personal office is down here." She said smiling.
He chuckled "Well now that we're here what do you even need and office for? Not like I have any more meetings or social events I need to attend anymore."
"Haven't really thought about but it's nice to have I guess…" She said smiling.
All the sudden over an intercom Pepper voice came in "Tony lunch is ready! You should join me by the pool." He went and walked over to the wall and pressed a button "I'll be there. Alex is with me mind if she joins?"
"She's always welcome! See you both soon!" She said with her voice exiting the room.
Tony then sighed and put one of his little toys away "Well let's go eat!"
They then made their way up the stairs and followed the map towards the back pool realizing this place was bigger than they had thought. When they had finally reached the pool Pepper was already lounging in a white two piece with her head phones in. Tony then moved towards the pool dipped his foot in and kicked water on to her. She jumped up "Oh… Tony! Do you always have to be such a child…" She said laughing.
"You should know better then to close your eyes when I'm on my way…" He said leaning over to her and kissing her. "Now what did you make for lunch?"
She pointed to the table "Sandwiches and potato salad… Oh no I forgot to bring the watermelon out…" She said getting up. "I'll be right back…"
"Wait!" Alex said getting up "I'll go get it…"
Pepper stood still "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely!" She said smiling "It's not a problem… Do you need a card to get into the kitchen?"
She nodded "Here use mine…" Pepper then handed Alex her card "Again thanks…"
Alex then walked back inside and headed to the kitchen. She looked around at first at all the stuff thy had. It had three refrigerators, two ovens, two stove tops, two microwaves and so much more. She began looking in all the refrigerators for the watermelon. Of course it wasn't in either of the first two she finally got to the third one and there it was on the top shelf. She reached up and grabbed it and turned to put it on the shelf but before she could she ran into someone spilling all the watermelon all over them. Luckily they caught the bowl before it broke.
"Shit! Oh my god… I'm so sorry…" Alex started seeing the watermelon soaked shirt and shoes. She looked up to see a tall and very built handsome man. "Uh… I should have been so much more carful…"
He smiled "It's fine. Really."
"You sure?" She said still embarrassed and red.
He nodded "Absolutely." He then held out his hand "My names Steve by the way… I don't think we've meet."
"We haven't… My names Alex." She said shaking his hand.
He smiled "Nice to meet you… So are you a SHILED employee or is there a new addition to the Avengers… Sorry still haven't gotten to read that full file."
"Oh no! I'm as normal as they come. No cool power or job I'm just related to Tony… I'm his sister. So you must be the infamous Captain America…" She said smiling. "My brother use to talk about you a lot…"
He nodded "I can't imagine what he was saying… but yes I just prefer Steve though…. But had no idea Stark had a sister. Must be… Different being related to him…" He said with a smile starting to help her clean up the mess.
"Well it definitely stays interesting…" She said laughing. "You don't have to help I can get it while you go change…" She said looking at his shirt. "I was the one who dumped this all over you and made the mess."
He shook his head "No I came out of nowhere… Sorry about that… I thought you might have heard me or something."
"Sometimes I go into my own little world sometimes and I don't really hear anything around me" she said smiling.
They then heard a small cough "Obviously…" Her brother said standing in the door way. "Whats going on here?" He said walking over to them with a slightly supious look on his face. "You should have been back by the pool forever ago…"
"I just… I spilt all the watermelon… on Steve…" She said turning red.
Tony raised an eyebrow "Why?"
"It was an accident… I ran into him…" She said sighing.
He let out a small chuckle "You always were klutzy…"
"In her defense I did come out of nowhere…" Steve said standing up and then lending a hand to Alex.
"Well I'm sure we'll be fine without watermelon…" Tony sighed "Well let's get back to the pool. Pepper is waiting she thought you might have gotten most or died or something…" He said grabbing an orange from the fruit bowl.
She nodded "Oh yeah… I had totally forgot."
"Well I guess I will see you later then… Maybe at dinner tonight?" Steve said smiling.
Tony then shook his head "I don't think so… She has to study or something else other then go to dinner…"
She laughed "Tony dinner is held out her every night at seven… Did you read any of your file… But yeah you will. I figured it'd be a good chance to meet everyone..." She said smiling "Well until then I guess…" She said starting to walk to the pool until she turned around "Wait do you wanna come hang out with us by the pool?"
He smiled "Wish I could, but I have to change and head to the training room…. But I will see you at dinner… It was really lovely meeting you Miss. Stark. I look forward to seeing you tonight…" And with that said he walked away.
"Nope… You're definitely banished to your room." Tony said as they started towards the pool. "I need a drink…"
She shook her head "Why?"
"You know why." He said looking over to her.
She laughed "Why because I made a friend…" He then raised an eyebrow "Whoa Tony it's not like that! He was just being nice and so was i." She said arguing with the looks he was giving her. "Seriously Tony?"
"It was really lovely meeting you Miss Stark…" He said mocking Steve "I can't wait to see you tonight… You realize how old he is technically? He could be our grandfather…" He said shaking his head.
She sighed "He's just a friend…Now can we drop it…" She said as they walked outside.
"Whatever you say sis… But I know you, and I know boys…" He started before Alex shot him a death glare. "Fine I'll drop it…" He said holding his hands up. As they got closer he leaned over and whispered "Watch this…" And then ran over to a sunbathing Pepper and picked her up and tossed her in the water.
Alex smiled and laughed as Pepper cursed Tony and splashed water at him trying. She started to think this place might be a nice change for her.
