6. Recovery

The group stood by the door looking at the two of them reunite.

"Is it just me or do they seem…better to you." Pepper said.

"What do you mean?" Tony asked.

"They don't seem so crazy anymore its like they're… better."

"Like them being together again fixed them?"

"Yeah remember how Steve had that picture of him and Nat and demanded we took him here. Not to mention Natasha was scared as hell about Steve's wellbeing before she went crazy."

"Good point. I'll contact Bruce and see if he can get over here and investigate."

"Okay… but make sure he's stable. And bring Betty."

"Betty Ross?"

"Yeah, just do it. If Bruce is here she needs to be here just in case'll explain later. If i'm right… we will need her."

And with that Steve took his phone out of his pocket and walked out of the room.

Pepper decided to investigate more and confronted the two not knowing what would happen. Thor put his hand in front of her to stop her.

"It's okay. After all, if they go bonkers on me you guys are here so I should be fine."

He pulled his hand away slowly and Pepper walked towards them.

"Hey guys! Just wondering do you remember what happened like i don't know… 5 minuted ago?"

Steve and Natasha gazed off as they thought of the recent events. The looked at each other and hugged again.

"Is that a yes."

"I don't know what you remember but I seem to remember what i did to this room." Natasha said looking at the destroyed walls."

"And I remember destroying Stark towers and looking for Nat." He said pulling her closer.

"No, thats actually exactly what happened…" Pepper said as she walked out of the room to think.

"If they remember then they might know when the went crazy and what they were thinking." Pepper mumbled under her breathe as she walked back and forth.

If i'm right about this then i might finally be the one to solve the problem instead of Tony… He might understand machines, but i understand love. Pepper thought as she smiled and skipped down the stairs looking for Tony.

"You think they were crazy… because the weren't with each other?" Tony said.

"Pretty much yeah." Pepper responded.

"Are you sure?"

"Yup, like 88% sure… and 12% not sure… but 88% is a lot!"

"But so is 12%"

"No its not. Its worth checking out! I mean come on if it is something as unexpected like that then no one will ever be able to find the cure. Its up to us Tony."

"All right Bruce and Betty are on there way… Ill try and see how fast i can get over to my lab in Malibu since the tower is destroyed."

"Thanks Tony!" Pepper yelled as Tony walked out the door and Laura walked in looking worried.

"Hey Laura whats wrong?"

"We're supposed to get our first huge snow storm tomorrow."

"What!? That will delay everything! And its not even halloween yet."

"Oh my god! Halloween! I completely forgot! The kids don't even have costumes yet! What day is it?!"

"Halloween is in 5 days."

"5 days! I have to go!"

"Alright good luck with everything. Im just gonna go and call Tony."

And with that Laura ran out of them room screaming something about costumes and candy to Clint.

Pepper hung up and immediately dialed in Betty's number with a sigh.

Steve and Natasha were sitting downstairs cuddling on the couch while Clint chased his kids around the house.

"AUNTY NAT HELP ME!" the little girl yelled as she ran towards Natasha and jumped on her laughing.

"Aww, they love you." Steve said smiling.

"Yeah they do…" She said as her and Steve exchanged a knowing look.

"What was that?" Clint asked.

"What's what?"

"That look you guys just had."

"Oh that… nothing." Natasha slowly replied.

"Well okay then."

Laura turned to Natasha and smiled then quickly turned away. Laura knew what that look was and Natasha knew it. Natasha sighed with a smile and leaned into Steve.

Kids seemed nice.
