*Pepper's POV*

I walked into the kitchen and started making Tony a cup of coffee. I figured he was probably in that dam lab again and ever since we had found Future Peter, he hadn't slept. Ugh. I had just gotten him to start a healthy sleeping schedule too. I finished brewing the coffee and added a small amount of sugar and creamer.(No clue how Tony likes his coffee) I walked into the elevator, careful not to spill the coffee. Steve ran into the elevator just before it closed.

"Hi, Steve. Where are you going in such a hurry?" I asked.

There weren't any important meetings scheduled as far as I knew. And I should know since I'm the one who schedules them.

"I was going to find the Future Peter. Strange finally came up with guidelines for what Peter could change." He said. "I'm assuming you're going to give that to Stark."

"Yep. Along with grounding him from the lab and scolding him for not sleeping." I laughed lightly.

Steve chuckled.

"So what did Strange decide for the guidelines?" I asked curiously.

"Basically just giving us a small amount of information that will help us in the future, then Strange will wipe our minds of the Future Peter except for the warning and send him back." Steve shrugged.

"Sounds more like it's completely decided then." I raised an eyebrow.

"I brought that up to Strange too and he told me it was because time is a tricky thing and even something as small as that could potentially ruin the future. Steve admitted.

"Well, we're not the experts so no point in debating on whether it's enough or not." I said.

The elevator stopped and we both stepped out. We walked to the lab together and he knocked on the door. When there was no answer, I frowned in irritation.

"Friday, open the door." I instructed.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Potts, but the mini Peter instructed me to not let you in because 'Future Peter' told him too."

I groaned.

"Override code 1433000(This actually means something in words :) Who can guess it?)." I said. "Open the door."

"As you wish, Mrs. Potts." Friday said and the door slid open.

"Well now I can do anything I want." Steve grinned at me.

"If you do, I'll have Nat hunt you down." I replied sweetly.

He paled and nodded. We walked into the lab and I frowned when I found it empty.

"Why would they want to keep us out if they're not even here?" I asked quizzically.

"Secret project maybe?" Steve guessed.

"Friday, where are Tony stark and Peter Parker currently at?" I asked.

"They left, along with Thor, Ms. Romanoff, and Mr. Barton, a couple hours ago." She replied.

"Excuse me?" My voice was sharp with anger.

"Er, Pepper, calm down. I'm sure they just went to a coffee shop or something." Steve took the coffee cup from my hands.

"Friday, do you know where they went?" I asked tightly.

"They went to meet Director Fury at his building." Friday said.

"They what?!"  I yelled.

Why in the world would Tony ever seek Fury out first. He hated him! And with Nat, Clint, Thor, and the two Peter's? Something was very wrong here.

"Friday, call Tony." I instructed.

Steve sat down in a chair, sipping the coffee.

After the fifth ring, Tony finally picked up.

"Uh, hey, Pep. How are you?" He asked awkardly.

I heard a couple snickers in the background but I ignored them.

"ANTHONY EDWARD STARK! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! YOU CAN'T JUST DISAPPEAR LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY WITHOUT TELLING SOMEONE! AND LEAVING TO GO PAY FURY A VISIT? WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?" I shouted.

Steve sipped the coffee, smirking slightly.

"I-uh....Pep look, I'm doing a favor for the kid, alright then I'll be back and you can be mad at me all you want. Until then, I have to go." Tony replied nervously.

"Hey, Iron Man, get your ass out there and see what's wrong with the engine!" A voice in the background.

"Who was that?" I asked suspiciously.

"No one!" Tony said quickly.

"Well now it's too late!" The voice shouted again. "Quill said we're gonna crash. Thanks a lot, man. Now tell your girlfriend she can kill you later if you're not already dead and get off the dam phone!"

 "Er, Pep, I gotta go. I'll call you back. Love you!" Tony said.

"Tony don't you dare hang up on me!" I threatened.

And....too late. He already did.

"Get the Avengers and tell May to go home for now." I told Steve. 

"Ok...why?" He asked.

"Because we have some assholes who decided it would be a good idea to do something stupid and we have to clean up their mess." I said angrily.

"Are you saying Natasha Romanoff is stupid?" Steve raised an eyebrow.

"In this case, yes." I threw my hands up.

"I'm definitely telling her you said that!" He called as he ran off.

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Friday, send me one of Tony's suits. I'm going to be borrowing it for a little bit." I said.

"Of course, Mrs. Potts." Friday said.

I rubbed a hand over my face tiredly. Time To clean up yet another one of Tony's messes. 

Ugh.
