Hey here's the chapter I promised you a week ago. I suck at deadlines so if you want to kill me go ahead. I wrote this and it went in an entirely different direction that refused to stop.

I feel like making up for the lack of humor in the story so I'll share with you something unbelieveable that happened to me the other week.

I was with two of my friends and we were watching the MTV movie awards and it got to the part where it was showing the sneak peek at the new Batman movie. Before they showed the trailer though they recapped the first two movies.

Me and one friend: This is awesome! *see the Joker sticking his head out the window like he doesn't care*

Other friend: Why is that guy wearing clown make-up?

Me and friend: WTF is wrong with you?

How she didn't know who he was I'll never know.

Anyways on with the story.

Disclaimer: If I owned the Avengers I would be able to make deadlines and nerd out with my friends.

If there was one person in the world that could change the way Captain America viewed Tony Stark it was Pepper Potts. Granted the moment after Tony made the sacrifice play with the nuke on his back, Steve knew he misjudged the man. But it was the day after that really made him rethink his image of the man.

The Avengers after throwing Loki at some unsuspecting S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took off to Tony's mansion. Tony said they could crash there and since the tower was probably unstable that the mansion would be the best bet. The group was too tired to argue regardless and they made there was into the house Tony giving directions to rooms that should have beds and said good night. Steve didn't even care he practically collapsed on top of the bed and didn't move till about ten the next morning.

When Steve made his way downstairs he didn't see what was coming. In a kitchen fit for a five star restaurant. Hawkeye was manning three pans flipping what appeared to be pancakes in each. Tony was next to him cooking bacon and hash browns. Bruce was sitting reading the paper sipping coffee, Thor was stuffing his face full of breakfast compared to Natasha who was delicately picking at her food. Tony looked at the man who walked through the door who was convinced he was in a dream like state.

"Mr. Sleepy-head awakes what's your poison in the morning?"

"What…?" Steve rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as Natasha rolled hers at Tony's antics. Bruce folded his paper and looked at the man.

"Coffee, juice, or milk?"

"Oh, just orange juice." Steve asked nicely as Bruce got up to fetch the drink. Steve sat himself at the end by Natasha. "Thanks." He said to Bruce and then enjoyed the peacefulness of the morning.

"Sir,-" a voice out of nowhere caused Steve to choke on his juice and for Tony and Clint to laugh at him.

"JARVIS meet Captain America, Captain America meet JARVIS." Steve looked around for the voice like a lost puppy.

"Hello?"

"It's nice to meet you sir." The voice was British and coming from nowhere, Steve has gone insane.

"You had your fun Tony." Natasha said making Tony pout. "JAVRVIS is an A.I., a computer, that runs the house, Tony's Iron Man suit and basically could take over the world if he wasn't addicted to bad television."

"Shut up JARVIS is awesome." Tony looked at the ceiling as he talked. "So what did you want anyways?"

"I feel the need to inform you-"

"Anthony Howard Stark!"All heads whipped to the doorway of the kitchen where a fuming redhead was standing.

"Pepper!" Tony abandoned his station in the kitchen and went to her quickly stopping a foot short.

"A last minute call to say you were dying. Again!" Pepper pointed a accusing finger in his face. "Didn't I say you weren't allowed to scare me like that again?"

"I had to Pepper, if I didn't we all would have been dead regardless."

"That doesn't make it okay!"

With that said Tony pulled the woman into his arms, a woman who could've put Hulk's anger issues to shame, and kissed her.

"I tried to tell you I was dying."

"Yeah with a phone call that I missed, do you know how upset I was till JARVIS called about five hours later saying you were in one piece?" Pepper was almost hysterical.

"I promise next time to successfully give you a heads up next time I'm about to die. I love you." Pepper then kissed the man again for much longer.

With that Steve's view on the world shifted and he saw Tony in a new light. Pepper was Tony's reason for doing anything. He wasn't a playboy or a womanizer anymore Pepper had grounded him.

Steve respected the woman instantly. Which is why the good old Captain was finding it hard not to harm a reporter.

Steve, Tony, and Clint, the three more or less capable of dealing with reporters were doing a live interview after they defeated MODOK. A very daring reporter asked outright if Tony was cheating on Pepper with the Black Widow. Which may have been one of the dumbest moves alive seeing how Clint tensed and Tony let out a big grin that screamed I have enough money to bury you in a hole. But much to the other members surprise Steve spoke up.

"Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts are in a very happy relationship and you have no right to ask him about his commitment to it. If anyone has any real questions please step up, our lives are not a gossip show." Steve's facial expression never changing.

"You heard the good Captain and he is right, I don't think my relationship status is changing anytime soon sorry Ms. Everhart."

Over the next couple of days somehow the reporter resigns something about stressful situations. Apparently her skin changed colors according to her mood for a week. It seemed to rain wherever she went. She swore she kept seeing things in the shadows along with all her stuff missing.

Captain America's dismissal of her soon becomes one of the most watched things on the internet, it was also played at Tony and Pepper's wedding, but that's another story.

The End.

Oh wait is that a bonus chapter I see. :D
