Genevieve's POV
(4 months later)
Everything has been really great these past 4 months, almost too great but I'm just paranoid. Tony and I are still happily together and my birthday is only about two months away!

Things between the two of us have gotten pretty serious though. As serious as they can be when no one knows. Quill and I are still best friends, I think keeping this from him is the hardest. Don't get me wrong, I'm close with all of them. I've just know Quill for as long as I can remember.

Gamora, Romanoff, and I are all close. We love the boys but sometimes we just need girl time. Thor is like a big brother to me, but not like the older brothers who are jerks. He's the one who's overprotective. Drax and Rocket make me constantly want to rip their heads off, they're definitely the annoying cousins that you would avoid at family gatherings.

Groot and I have become super close as well, he's adorable. His brain isn't very sharp but we're working on it. Bruce is also pretty overprotective of me, he tries to hide it but we all know it's true. He's more strict with what I do than anyone else. Cap and Peter, I'm not sure where I stand with them. I care about them both but neither of them are the one I lo- Tony. Neither of them are Tony.

I've gotten my powers all fixed up too! I haven't learned to control them perfectly but I'm pretty close. Turns out I can teleport, manipulate energies, move things with my mind, and I have super strength. Makes sense on why my parents cleared my memory when I found out what Hydra is about.

It's been a lot to handle in just 2 months but I need to get this under control as quickly as possible. We never now when they'll come back for me, they will eventually. And I have to be prepared when they do.

Cassie, the girl I exchanged numbers with, is actually a really great girl. It's weird having a friend who isn't an avenger and doesn't even know I am one. She thinks that Peter and I are staying with the Avengers because we're orphans and they took us in from the kindness of their hearts.

If you couldn't tell, Tony's idea. It's what the rest of the world thinks too. Whenever she comes over we have to hide all the Guardians of the Galaxy, besides Quill. I want to tell her the truth because she's one of my best friends but I just can't risk it.

It's a Saturday morning and Cassie slept over last night. We walk down stairs for some food and hear everyone laughing. Why is everyone already up and chatting, they usually stay in their rooms until around noon. I didn't think much of it so I grabbed Cassie and I two bowls.

"Good morning Genevieve, come meet Pepper" I hear Peter say from the table. I hand Cassie her bowl and turn around. The bowl in my hand crashes to the floor, breaking. My heart feels like it broke along with it. There, in front of me, was this beautiful blonde sitting on Tony's lap.

If that didn't hurt enough, she was only in his shirt. "Oh my god Genevieve, I swear you are the clumsiest person I've ever met" everyone chuckles as Cassie cleans up the glass. Who the hell is she and why is she acting like that with him?

"Genevieve, it's so nice to meet you. I've heard some wonderful things. I'm Pepper" the blonde gave me a smile. She's beautiful. How could I ever compete with her? She looks to be around Tony's age as well. "Genevieve? Are you alright? You look awfully pale" Thor questions.

I shake away my thoughts and flash a fake smile, "Yes, sorry I zoned out there for a second. It's great to meet you." I walk around the Table and shake her hand as Tony avoids my eyes. "Are you two together?" why the hell did I ask that, of course they're not.

We may not have a label but we've discussed how serious we are about each other. She lays her forehead against Tony's, "Yes we are. We separated for awhile due to his schedule but he called me last night and here I am."

Tony finally looks at me, there's absolutely no emotion in his eyes. How could I be so stupid?! I truly believed that Tony Stark could ever care for me? I'm just some young body. Idiot.

"Gen, could I have a word with you alone? I wanted to discuss a few things about your... training" he whispered the last part so Cassie couldn't hear him from across the kitchen but everyone else could. I know he's trying to talk to me about Pepper but I don't want to hear it.

What excuse could he have? HE called HER!! If there's a good reason, he would've told me beforehand. It's not like he needs to give me a break up speech, we aren't dating. "Maybe later, Mr. Stark. Cassie is over and we have plans. Also, we've talked about this sir, call me Genevieve" I walk out of the kitchen quickly while Cassie followed. I have never called him Mr. Stark or sir before. Shit, everyone probably found that strange.

I decided to tell Cassie that I wasn't feeling well so that she would go home. Why am I so hurt? He was never my boyfriend. But he did use me. He fucking used me!! How could I be so vulnerable! That asshole! "Genevieve, it's Romanoff. Can I come in?"

I wipe my tears quickly and open the door by telekinesis. That power really comes in handy. "What's up?" I ask her with a fake smile. She closes my door behind her and sighs, "Genevieve I'm not an idiot."

Woah where the hell did that come from?? Did I say something? "I know you aren't?" I give her a confused look. She sits on my bed and takes my hands in hers. We sit like that for a moment or so until she finally speaks.

"So what happened with you and Tony? I may have all day but doesn't mean I want to waste it by waiting for you to start spilling the beans" she raised an eyebrow at me. Well shit.

"What do you mean? He is a good friend of mine but nothing more" I decided that playing dumb was the best option. Romanoff crossed her arms and just stared at me. I'm not going to win this fight. She already knows, I can tell. She just wants to hear me admit it. "You broke a bowl when you saw Pepper on his lap and then called him 'sir' and 'Mr. Stark' after she said they were back together." she grills me

Okay so maybe I wasn't too slick this morning. What would she have done in my situation? I just found out that someone I've been seeing for a little over 4 months is back with their ex without any hint of a warning.

"Fine, but this stays between us. Got it?" Romanoff nodded her head in agreement. I know I can trust her. We sat on my bed for at least a hour as I explained everything. After I was finished she stood up in anger and paced my room, "That asshole!! How dare he? You can't just take someone's virginity and then get with someone else as if nothing ever happened! I'll kill him!"

She started to open my door but I slammed it shut. "Genevieve, stop with the telekinesis crap and let me yell at him" she continued to try to open my door but I wouldn't budge. Guess I've gotten pretty good at controlling this one.

Romanoff asked how I felt about Peter to see if I could date him since he was my age and not an asshole like Tony. I want to like Peter so so bad but there's not even a hint of feelings there. Cap on the other hand? There's a small hint of something.

"Ooooo Cap and you would be so cute!!!" Romanoff seemed to like my news. "Just because we'd be cute doesn't mean it would be legal" I payed back on my bed and she payed beside me. What if Gamora was right that night of the party? Maybe I should talk to Cap.

Authors Note: I actually love Pepper but it wouldn't be as fun if we all liked her in this ;)
