Tony's POV: I know Gen is pissed off at me, I would be too. She doesn't understand why I left. It wasn't me just wanting to be a jerk or play with her. She means much more to me than she knows. I left because this thing between me and her can't happen.
First of all, she's on my team. I know that there's nothing wrong with that, but I want my work life and my love life to be separated. Second, I'm 38 years old and she's only 17. It's illegal. I'll try to explain it to her today but I don't think it'll work.
She hasn't even looked at me besides rolling her eyes or glaring at me. Although she does look pretty adorable when she does that. No no no no. Anthony Edward Stark, stop that.
I walk down stairs and grab a muffin and coffee. Gen is getting ready for school in her room. I hear footsteps sprinting down the stairs. The front door opens and closes loudly. She didn't even eat did she? I'm really worried about that, I haven't seen her eat since she got back besides a snack or two.
The front door opens and closes again and I hear footsteps come towards the kitchen. Gen walks in and looks around the room, avoiding my eyes. She leaves the room and I hear her waking into each room of the house. She lets out a long sigh before coming back into the kitchen.
She leans against the door frame and crosses her arms, finally making eye contact with me. "Peter left for school already and no one else is home." I give her an amused look, "Are you asking for a ride?" She rolls her eyes and leaves the room. "I'll walk" she says and I hear the door close.
This is the most stubborn woman I have ever met. I grab my coat and keys before leaving the tower and getting into my car. I catch up to her and reach over to open the passenger seat. She rolls her eyes again and gets in without another word. "If you keep rolling your eyes they're gonna pop out" I joke.
She doesn't even look at me. I make a few attempts for conversation but she won't budge. When we get to her school I lock the doors. "Cut the shit Tony, I'm gonna be late" she gives me an angry tone. I cross my arms, "Tell me why you're mad at me and I'll unlock the doors."
She lets out a fake laugh and looks at me like I'm an idiot. If she wasn't so cute I would just kick her out of the car. "You're an idiot if that's a genuine question Tony. We both know what happened. You messed with my emotions for shits and giggles."
I close my eyes and sigh, still not unlocking the door. A swoosh sound comes from the seat next to me, causing me to open my eyes. She's gone. The doors locked, the windows up, and the sunroof is closed. I get out of my car and look around.
She's laying on the sidewalk rubbing her head. "Well I don't know how I did that but it helped me out" and with that she walked into her school. I roll my eyes and drive home. She can't just be using her powers like that in public, especially when she doesn't know what all she can do.
Genevieve's POV I got home from school with Peter, this morning he had to get to school early and he forgot to tell me. We walk inside and start doing homework together, we have a few classes together so it's helpful. "Nerds" I hear Quill laugh behind me. "At least I can do basic math" Peter chuckles at my response.
Tony comes in the room and calls everyone in. "We haven't had a party in ages so I planned one for tonight, mandatory." Everyone seems excited but me. I have school tomorrow and I'm too skinny for any of my clothes anyway. "Gen, can we talk upstairs real quick?" Tony asks. I stand up and head towards the stairs, "It's Genevieve."
We walk into his room, it's my first time in here. He motions for me to sit down. I'm not sure why but I listened to him and sat down. "Gen, and yes I'm still calling you that, you can't stay mad at me forever" I folded my arms and looked him in the eyes. "Watch me."
He sat on his bed next to me and sighed. He looked down at the floor, I almost feel bad. It looks like he really feels bad. Part of me really doesn't care for his reason though. "I didn't play with your emotions, not on purpose. You're only 17, I'm too old for you. Not only that but I can't be with someone on this team. Work and romance should be two different things" he explains.
He's right. Nothing can happen between us. "You're right. Don't worry about it Tony" I give him a small smile and leave. I go into my own room and close my door. I slide down it and close my eyes. I know nothing will happen between us but something in me won't give up.
Natasha knocks on my door soon after and I wipe my tears before opening my door. She gives me a weak smile, I'm sure wiping the tears didn't do much. "Can I take you dress shopping? I didn't see you come here with one and you have- well you've lost a lot of weight."
I know what she means, it's really not healthy. "Yeah, I'll go with you" she gives me a bright smile and tells me to meet her down stairs in 5 minutes. We go to the mall and try on dresses until I find the perfect one.

Before leaving the mall, Natasha stops at the food court. "I haven't seen you eat anything lately. We're all worried, please eat something with me" she begs. I see tears in her eyes and I sigh. This is the least I could do. We got some Chinese food and talked for awhile before heading back.
When we get back I curl my hair and get dressed. I decide to come down after the party starts so I'm not there for the "awkward" beginning stage of the party. As I walk down the stairs in my heels I feel every pair of eyes on me and the room gets quieter. My face is probably looking like a cherry right now.
Quill walks to the bottom of the stairs, smiling up at me. "I love the dress, you look great" he extends his arm for me and I accept. He's the Guardian of the Galaxy here, everyone else would draw attention. We walk through the crowd as I meet everyone.
The women complimented me and the men took my hand to kiss it. I feel like a princess or something. I catch Tony's gaze from across the room, he's just staring. I choose to ignore him and continue to greet the guests.
Peter comes over to Quill and I. He looks me up and down for a minute. "You look absolutely stunning Genevieve. If Quill doesn't mind, I was hoping to take you over to where everyone from school is." I look over to Quill and he nods his head. I meet some people from our school and have a few conversations. I got along really well with this girl Cassie. We exchanged numbers, I really need some friends besides Peter.
Party will continues next chapter. Thank you all for the support! Comment and vote!🥰🥰
