A/N: This is in the future, and I dunno what's gonna happen (obviously) so...
"Tony, you're overreacting," Pepper said, not even looking up from her paperwork as she lay on the couch. Her husband was pacing back and forth on the balcony like a girl about to be picked up for her first date. Except the date was ten minutes late.
"I know what overreacting is like," Tony snapped, "and this is not it."
"You're definitely overreacting," Natasha interjected. "You're just meeting Anastasia's boyfriend. He isn't asking for her hand in marriage or anything."
Tony glared at her. "You can leave now."
"You said that you wanted me here."
"In fact, you said you wanted us to bring weapons," Clint said. "What was that all about?"
"I wanted you to be able to intimidate the boyfriend."
Steve laughed. "Tony, stop. You're just going to meet him. He's probably a perfectly nice boy. Trust Anastasia's judgment."
Tony crossed his arms. "Her judgment sucked. She had a huge crush on you when she was thirteen."
Steve's eyes widened. "What?"
"Tony!" Pepper reprimanded him. The assassins just laughed.
Thor walked in, dressed in full battle regalia. "Where is the young suitor of Anastasia?" He asked.
Tony sighed, relieved. "Thank you! Listen Thor, he's not here yet, but when he shows up I want you to answer the door. Sound good?"
"Ye-"
"No!" Pepper said, slamming her papers down on the coffee table and standing up. "Tony, all that Paprika wants is a normal moment, once in her life." Tony just stared at her, uncomprehending. Pepper sighed. "Look. Her life has been filled with superheroes, and magic and gods, and top secret government plans. She doesn't want us to scare any guys off with that, and she wants to make sure that any guys she likes enough to bring home actually like her for her."
Tony stared at her, looking for all the world like a little toddler who had just been told his parents were splitting up. "But…I-"
Pepper bit her lip. "Maybe you just want to protect her. She's your princess. But Tony, if you give her anything other than a normal experience today, and she's going to be furious."
Tony looked down, and away, walking to the balcony railing. He looked out at the city, the massive buildings he had helped design, the green public transportation system that Thor had brought the plans for from Asgard.
Pepper came behind him, wrapping an arm around his waist and kissing his cheek. "Please, Tony."
He sighed, squeezing the petite hand that had somehow made its way into his own. Then he turned back around. "Alright. Everybody either out, or change. Thor, lose the hammer, and the armor. Steve, just…leave."
