A dream come true

it's starting

"no. all this came from that." Miss Pepper tells him pointing at his chest plate.

"give yourself some credit, please. Stark tower is your baby. Give yourself....twelve percent of the credit. Kid, you can take...1 percent? Does 1 percent sound fine?"

" Thanks Mr. Stark. That's more than deserved but credit accepted."

"twelve percent?" miss Pepper says a bit offended.

"An argument can be made for fifteen?"

"twelve percent? For my baby?"

"well, I did do all the heavy lifting, literally, I lifted the heavy things. and sorry, but the security snafu? That was on you."

"ooooh"

"my privet elevator-"

"you mean our elevator..."

".....was teeming with sweaty workmen. I'm going to pay for that comment about your percentage in some subtle way later, aren't I."

Miss Pepper starts pouring herself and Mr. Stark a glass of champagne.

"not gonna be that subtle." She says.

"I'll tell you what. Next building's gonna say 'potts' on the tower. How about you kid, you want your own building too?"

"o-oh no. sounds really fun but I'm fine." I say holding up my free arm.

"too bad. I was thinking of it once you become old enough to drink this." He says pointing to the beverage in his hand.

"you're too generous Mr. stark." I say laughing.

"Don't boost up his ego." Miss Pepper says coming toward me.

"you shouldn't talk like that about me in front our babies. It affects their mental health."

"oh does it now?" Miss Pepper raises an eyebrow.

'I'm their baby?' I think drinking my juice.

"I really don't want to intervene in your conversation but we're having a guest." i say.

"sorry?" Mr. Stark asks getting confused.

"Sir, the telephone, I'm afraid my protocols are being overwritten." JARVIS says followed by agent Coulson getting on line.

"Stark, we need to talk."

Mr. Stark picks up his phone and looks it at Coulson.

"you have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a message."

"this is urgent."

"Then leave it urgently."

Just then the elevator door opens and agent Coulson gets in.

Mr. Stark turns to Miss pepper and says,

"security breach. That's on you."

"Hey Mr. Coulson." I exclaim waving my hand.

"hey kid, how are you?"

"I'm great, how are you?"

"busy at the moment."

"Phill come in." Miss Pepper says.

"Phill?..his first name is agent."

"come in, we're celebrating."

"which is why he can't stay."

"we need you to look this over." He says holding up a file to him.

"soon as possible."

"I don't like being handed things."

"That's alright, 'cause I love to be handed things. So, let's trade." Miss Pepper says passing her glass to Mr. Coulson and taking the file from him, then passing the file to Mr. Stark and taking his glass.

"thank you."

"official consulting hours are between eight and five every other Thursday."

"this isn't a consultation." Agent Coulson says.

"is this about the Avengers? Which i....i know nothing about."

"the avengers initiative was scrapped, I thought. And I didn't even qualify. "

"I didn't know that either"

"yeah, apparently I'm volatile, self obsessed, don't play well with others."

"that I did know."

"this isn't about personality profiles anymore." Agent Coulson goes.

"whatever. Miss Potts, got a minute?" Mr. Stark takes her away to his desk and I turn to agent Coulson.

"so how's it going?"

"I suppose you already know."

"aaaand you're right." I say looking down.

"Director Fury wants to see you."

"of course he does." I whisper slowly, But he heard it anyways.

"he's getting very impatient, he just wants to have a talk."

"it's going to be a long talk then." I say making eye contact with him again and look behind to see Mr. Stark and Miss Pepper checking out the Avengers file as different clips of Avengers members appear on hologram monitor and having a conversation before sharing a kiss.

"oh and Mr. Stark, I'm taking her with me." Mr. Coulson tells them.

"what, what do you mean you're taking her with you?"

" Fury needs a word."

"why?"

"you know why?"

Mr. Stark looks at Coulson for a moment before taking a glance at me.

"we're gonna have to put her work aside for now And focus on the new given initiative."

"how long is it gonna take?" he asks feeling protective.

"just few hours don't worry. You'll be joining us soon enough."

He signs and walks over to us,

"Don't take too long, I'll need you to make more lunch again."

"yeah, deal." I say laughing.

"we should get going." Agent Coulson cuts in.

I nod and follow him inside the elevator,

"see you later Mr. Stark." I make my leave by waving my hand as the door closes.

'oh boy. It's starting.'
