Since when does Nat use YouTube?

Tony's POV

*A few hours earlier*

"Fri, where's Pep?" I asked the AI, whose cameras were positioned all around the house.

Yeah, creepy I know, but you can never really trust the avengers not to set fire to the place, especially with laser hands joining the party.

"Miss Potts is in the commons area with Capsicle and Point Break, getting ready for the important meeting she told you about this morning."

I smirked at the nicknames, created by yours truly.

"There was a meeting?" I asked.

"Yes boss. And it seems that a very angry Ms Potts is coming to the lab in three...two...o-"

"Anthony Edward Stark!" She started, marching inside

I knew I was in deep shit.

She used my middle name

"Why the hell are you up here and not down there like you're supposed to be! You know how important that meeting was!" She ranted. I tried to tune it out, but it's slightly hard to ignore your wife's angry voice. Especially when she uses your middle name.

Putting on my best I'm-sorry-please-don't-kill-me smile, I turned around to face her

"Calm down Pep I'll be there in a minute." I said, stretching as I got out of my comfy sofa

"Fine...but be there" she said, her voice thankfully sounding less angry

That was Pep, all right.

She could go from trying to kill you with whatever she had on her to the literal calmest woman on the planet.

And I loved her for it

I watched as she left the lab and I slowly trailed after her.after her. At a loose follow of course. Boundaries are good. 

Even then, I still went much slower than I normally would

I was in no mood for this meeting, and for once it wasn't just because it was bound to be boring

I could barely look at any of the other avengers without being reminded of our biggest failure, and everything that we lost with it

Consumed in my thoughts, it seemed to take a lot lesser time to reach the common area than normal, even though I was walking so slowly.

Pepper was already at one of the tables in the large space, along with Nat, Steve, Bruce and Thor.

"What was so important that I had to stop updating my suit." I asked, plopping down next to Pep.

"Tony, we've got a situation..." Bruce answered

"Look at this" Nat said, putting on some footage from a few days ago.

I saw a guy trying to take a purse from a woman. Petty crime really. But before he could take it from her, there was a blast of water. I could barely see what was happening though because of the water, but I could see a shadowy figure in the middle of everything. When the water cleared I just saw the mugger tied up by what looked like frozen bonds. There was no sign of the shadowy figure or the lady.

"Where'd you get that from?" I asked Nat

"Off of YouTube" she replied, shrugging 

"Since when do you use YouTube?"

"That's not important," she replied, trying to give me her death glare, which was usually quite efficient, but this time a smile twitched at her lips

Also, it was VERY important, but this time, I let it slide

"Anyways, ever since...what happened happened and ummm...Spider Man got snapped..." she continued, halting a couple times as she spoke

I winced as the memories came flooding back. I took a deep breath and focused on what Nat was saying. I couldn't let the panic attacks start again. Not in front of them...

"...this masked person has been going around, trying to stop crime in the city-"

I interrupted, "And this is a problem why?"

"We have to make sure that this masked hero isn't a threat. We can't afford to take chances. Not again."

"So you want us to capture them?" Bruce asked, frowning.

"Not at first. Worst case scenario they completely refuse to cooperate and we'll have to shoot them down."

Everyone went silent as we contemplated how bad this situation could get.

"When are we doing this exactly?" I asked suddenly, smirking "cause Pepper and I have plans this Friday"

"Tony!" Pepper muttered, elbowing me

Nat gave a snort of laughter and smiles emerged on the faces of the others

"What Tony means to say," Pepper continued pointedly, "is that our plans don't matter as long as we manage to catch whoever that person is"

"Don't worry Pepper"W Nat cut in reassuringly, "we're going to find them the next time they're sighted on camera and hopefully we'll be back in time for you two to have your romantic sunset dinner."

"That was meant to be a surprise..." I muttered annoyedly under my breath.

I didn't know it yet but me and Pep wouldn't be able to have our dinner for a long time.
