The Priviate Life of the Avengers

Chapter Thirteen- Pepper

Pepper's P.O.V.

I sat there tapping my foot praying to god my idiot wasn’t hurt the conference started in five freaking minutes and he was nowhere in sight. Then I heard a car pull up outside and footsteps walking quickly inside I looked up and saw Tony, Steve, Thor, and Carol standing in the doorway a bit beaten up but alive none the less. I walked over to Tony but before I could say anything he said, “You’ve been crying tears for your long lost fiancé?” adding that smirk he has that drives me crazy. He only changed a word in that phrase, I hear it every time we get separated at a bad time I slapped him jokingly across the arm because I couldn’t say my line now. When the conference suddenly began and Tony and Steve had to go up to the front of the room Thor and Carol stayed behind and we all took our seats. Tony stepped up and cleared his throat. “Well you all know me so no sense in introductions meaning I will just skip to questions.” He said in his favorite cocky tone. All the reporters went wild and started shouting at him and raising their hands he finally called on one and they asked, “Mr. Stark what were those animals?” he seemed to be expecting that question. “Well it was a science class so I will place a bet on lab gone horribly wrong.” saying that gave him a few smirks and laughs from the bloodhound reporters and they started their questions again and he choose another. “Mr. Stark sources report there was a portal on the scene can you confirm that?” that question seemed to take a bit longer for him to answer. “I can confirm it but I cannot give any details next question please” after that there were a few more questions about the day’s events then one reporter asked a question I highly doubt anyone saw coming. “Mr. Stark are you in a relationship with Steve Rogers?” I saw him trying to keep a straight face. “Well… Props on the creative question but when I was younger my dad talked on and on about him I admired him…. A lot. I actually used a trash can lid to fight,” he cleared his throat before continuing, “Nazis.” That got a lot of laughs and I saw Steve snicker from his seat behind the podium. “When I heard the news that he was found I almost fangirled.” He said you could just see him blushing a bit. Then the next reporter got their turn to ask a question. “Mr. Stark it’s been almost a year since the New York incident can you explain the events of that day now that you can look back on them?” he thought for a second then said, “You see, you just had to be there. It was a hardcore battle between four men in tights, a woman with great accuracy, and me. Loki pissed us all off but we kinda forgave him after he helped us.” Which caused the reporters to gasp I saw him look over and give a look to someone I turned around and saw Loki leaning against the back wall he looked different because he was wearing “mortal clothes” but if someone looked close enough they would see it he gave a quick nod and left the room I turned my attention back to Tony and heard him say, “That is all the questions I will take at this time.” And he walked off the podium followed by Steve reporters snapping pictures of them like crazy and he left I gave Thor and Carol a time to go signal and we got up and left walking outside Loki was already there visibly stressed and pacing. Then Tony and Steve walked out Tony didn’t stop but kept walking and got in the car. “He’s pissed.” Steve said pausing a moment then getting into the car with Tony. I sighed. “This should be fun.” Marvel said getting into the car I got in to leaving Thor and Loki on the sidewalk. Tony quickly drove away and Steve was right he was pissed.
