A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! I'm going to try to update every few days or so, and at least once every weekend. Also, check out my other story, Heaven Spelt Backwards, which is about Clint's troublesome younger sister and the problems she ends up with.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers or the Avengers Mansion :(

Chapter 4: Moving In!

Many heads turned as the Avengers walked through the SHIELD base. Apparently this place never slept. Tony was leading the way to the quinjet to take them back to the Avengers Mansion to get a few things, drop Baylee's bags off and maybe pick up Pepper before they went out for shawarma.

Baylee couldn't stop smiling, she was so happy and excited about being an Avenger. She was happily chatting away with Tony, Bruce, Thor, Clint and occasionally Natasha (Steve was flying the quinjet to the mansion). The Black Widow had seemed to have completely warmed up to Baylee now, and Baylee was sure that everyone else liked her, too.

It was a strange feeling to Baylee of be liked by others. You see, even though she was an A+ student in school, she only had two friends through her whole school journey, and she was bullied in primary school, which was why she alienated herself from others and spied on people. This was really the first time she had ever opened up to anyone in a long time, and it felt good to be able to talk to others about things.

Tony pulled her back into reality by asking Baylee a question about science, which most of the others did't understand. She smiled and resumed the conversation.

Once Steve had landed the quinjet on the roof of the mansion, everyone undid their seat belts and quietly entered the building. Baylee gasped when the lights came on.

"Wow! This place is beautiful!" she confessed quietly, eyes wide as she looked around the huge main room.

"Thanks," a female voice called, and into the room walked Pepper, wearing jeans and a light blue blouse. When she earned a few confused looks from the others, she shrugged.

"Tony texted me." She smiled at them as she turned to Baylee. "Hey, I'm Pepper. Follow me, I'll show you to your room." Baylee nodded, smiling back at Pepper. She seemed really nice so far. Perhaps she was good at making friends after all, but they just had to be the right people.

Pepper led Baylee into the elevator that they had entered through, stopping down two levels. The elevator dinged and Pepper walked out, Baylee following behind her.

"This level has Natasha's room, Clint's room, a lounge, a huge bathroom and three spare bedrooms, and one of them is yours." Pepper turned to smile at Baylee before leading her down a hallway to the left of the lounge. "When Tony texted me, he asked me to fix up a room for you. I'm sorry, I didn't have much time." They walked to the end of the hall and stopped outside the last door. Baylee was partly excited an partly scared, and she didn't know why.

Pepper smiled warmly at Baylee before she opened the door. Baylee's eyes widened in disbelief as she walked over to the bed and dumped her bag. The room was absolutely beautiful. The walls were sheet white on the top half and light yellow on the bottom half. Gorgeous, tan floorboards were the floor of the room, and a pink and white zigzagged rug sat under the expensive bed, which had a cushioned, white headboard. The duvet was white with yellow patterning, and there were yellow and blue striped pillows sitting on the bed with the large, white, pink-outlined pillow. Next to the magnificent bed was a small, white bedside table with a dark pink lamp sitting on top.

Baylee noticed that there were no decorations on the walls, but that meant she could have some of her old stuff sent over to make her room more like home. She turned to Pepper with a huge grin on her face, letting the 'staying strong' facade go. "This is beautiful! Gosh, I love it! Thank you!" Baylee squealed in delight, wrapping her arms around Pepper in a big hug.

Pepper was a bit unsure about it at first, but after a second, she hugged her back. "That's okay, sweetie. I'm glad you like it," she said after she let go. "You can bring some other stuff in here to decorate it more, and I can help you if you like." Pepper thought that Baylee was a sweet girl, but was curious as to what her story was. She just hoped the her life hadn't been too bad so far. She would have to ask Tony later.

Baylee nodded excitedly. "I might be able to have some of my old stuff shipped over here. I had a few things that would go nicely in here, but I'll need your help with everything else."

"Okay, we can figure that out in the next few days, but right now there is shawarma waiting to be eaten at 1:30 in the morning," Pepper said, faking enthusiasm at the end.

Baylee jumped at the sound of another voice in the room. "Ms. Potts, Mr. Stark would like me to inform you that there has been a change of plans and that the Avengers are no longer going out for shawarma as he has found the phone number for the restaurant, and the food will be dropped off at the end of the highway for Dr. Banner and Captain Rogers to collect," the English voice informed Pepper, who was looking at Baylee.

"That's JARVIS, Tony's AI that runs this place. You get used to him after a while," she smiled slightly at the young girl. "Also, can I just ask what your full name is?"

"Baylee Quinn Garcia," she smiled up at Pepper sweetly.

"That's a nice name," Pepper replied. "My full name is Virginia Faith Potts, but only my family calls me Virginia. Everyone else calls me Pepper." It was quiet for a few minutes as Baylee unpacked her bag and put her clothes into the drawers of the large, white dresser and took her iPod out of her bag, checking it before tucking it away in her pocket.

"Would you like me to show you around this place before the boys get back?" Pepper asked quietly. Baylee looked back up at her after sitting on the extra comfy bed.

"Sure."

Pepper smiled. "Follow me." She led Baylee out of the room and back down the hall. As she walked passed each door, she named the person that lived there. "Natasha." She pointed to the door on her left. "Clint." Then she pointed to the door on her right.

Baylee followed Pepper to the end of the hallway where there was another door. "This is the bathroom for you to share with Clint and Natasha." Pepper opened the door and walked in. Baylee followed close behind.

The whole bathroom was white with various lavender decorations that Pepper had put in, no doubt. There was a humongous shower in the far right corner with glass walls. In the opposite corner, which was sectioned off, were two expensive toilets. Along the right wall was a white counter with two sinks, as well as a glass bowl of plastic lavender flowers floating on water at each end of the counter. On the left of the room was a lavender curtain hiding the biggest spa bath that Baylee had set eyes on. All in all, the room looked like one that you only saw in magazines and movies.

"You're really good at decorating, Pepper," Baylee complimented, marvelling at the stunning room.

"Thank you, Baylee," Pepper returned, smiling at the Australian girl.

After a minute, Pepper walked out of the room, Baylee still tagging along. They walked into the lounge room. "Down that hallway," Pepper pointed to the hallway across the room from them, "is where the other spare rooms are. And this is the lounge."

Baylee hadn't noticed the large tv sitting on a cabin when she walked in before. The tv looked too big to be real, and it was definitely much bigger than her 60" screen in Australia.

In front of the cabinet that it was sitting on were two large couches with fluffy, grey cushion covers, which were sitting on a large black and white patterned rug the looked really soft. There was a glass table on the floor between the tv cabinet and the couches, and sitting on the table were some magazines, the tv remote and an empty coffee cup. Pepper noticed the coffee cup was out of place and quickly snatched it up from the table.

"Sorry, damn Clint always leaves his coffee mugs on the table or the bench or somewhere untidy. Once I sound on on the balcony roof. I don't even know how he got up there in the first place!" Pepper told Baylee, who laughed.

"Tony does it, too. There have been too many times to count where I've had to print out two copies of paperwork for him to sign because he gets coffee mug rings all over them! Gosh, sometimes I feel like I'm his mother!" Pepper continued, making Baylee giggle more.

A minute after Pepper's coffee mug rant, she shook her head. "Come on, let's show you the rest of this place," she said as she led Baylee to the elevator.

Sorry, I think there were a few bits in this chapter that were quite repetitive, but I couldn't figure out how to change them and make them still sound right. There'll definitely be a new chapter up in the next couple of days! Reviews are always appreciated!
