"Good morning. It's 7:00 a.m. The weather in Malibu is 72 degrees with scattered clouds. The surf conditions are fair with waist-to-shoulder high lines. High tide will be at 10:52 a.m." Jarvis said as the lights came on and Christine got up from the bed with the bed sheets wrapped around her.

Steve took a good look at Christine. "She is fine." Clint said as Hera looked at him. "Don't you have a wife and kids?" Hera asked glaring at him.

The screen then went to Christine and it zoomed out to show Antonella mansion and on the bottom of the screen it says 'Malibu California'.

Team Cap eyes widened with awe and in madness. Why didn't Antonella tell them about her secret place not knowing the truth. "She's rich, rich." Zeus said with pride.

It then went to Christine who was walking around looking for Antonella. "Antonella? Hey, Antonella?" Christine yelled out looking for her. She then started looking around and looking at stuff until she found some buttons. She then tries to play with the controls on the wall but It beeps at her.

"You are not authorized to access this area." Jarvis said as she frowned. "Jesus." Christine said as she took a step back.

"Question why can't she be in there?" Clint asked stupidly. "Antonella have to give you the permission to come in." I said it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"That's JARVIS. He runs the house. I've got your clothes here. They've been dry-cleaned and pressed, and there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go." Pepper said as Christine looked back and started walking towards her.

"You must be the famous Pepper Potts." Christine replied as she was still walking towards Pepper. "Indeed I am." Pepper confirmed. "After all these years, Antonella still has you picking up the dry-cleaning." Christine said as she was in front of Pepper and took the clothes from her.

"Exactly! Why does she still want to be by Antonella side!" Steve yelled. "Boy shut up!" Apollo said as Steve shut up quickly.

"I do anything and everything that Miss. Stark requires, including, occasionally, taking out the trash. Will that be all?" Pepper said with a smile which Christine scoffed at. The screen then went to Antonella working on a car in her workshop.

"Oh snap! It's one thing to be called trash!" Will said as he laughed.

"Give me an exploded view." Antonella said as Jarvis showed her. "The compression in cylinder three appears to be low." Jarvis said. "Log that." Antonella said as she went back to work and it showed Pepper in Antonella windows.

"Is this English?" Zeus asked. "Yes it is brother." Poseidon said.

"I'm gonna try again, right now." Pepper said as she came into Antonella workshop on the phone. "Please don't turn down my music." Antonella said. "I'll keep you posted." Pepper said on her phone which she got from. "You are supposed to be halfway around the world right now." Pepper said seriously.

"Why is she always interrupting?" Steve asked. "Do like Apollo said a d shut up." I said enough will Steve bs.

"How'd she take it?" Antonella asked. "Like a champ." Pepper said fastly. "Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?" Antonella asked confused. "Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago." Pepper said like it was obvious.

"Not responsible." Wanda whispered.

"That's funny, I thought with it being my plane and all, that it would just wait for me to get there." Antonella said picking up on her friend voice tone. "Antonella, I need to speak to you about a couple things before I get you out of the door." Pepper said as Antonella looked shocked.

"Is it about Francesco? Because I'm going to murder him!" Apollo yelled. "Come on Apollo he's handsome don't kill him." Aphrodite said as the demigods (-Piper) and the rest of the Gods (-Ares) glare at her.

"I mean, doesn't it kind of defeat the whole purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?" Antonella said trying to change the subject as she stands up. "Larry called. He's got another buyer for the Jackson Pollock in the wings. Do you want it? Yes or no." Pepper asked.

"Why is she trying to change-" Steve said but didn't finish since I took away his mouth for some minutes.

"Is it a good representation of his spring period?" Antonella asked. "Um, no. The Springs was actually the neighborhood in East Hampton where he lived and worked--" Pepper said but didn't finish yet. "So?" Antonella interrupted. "Not "spring" like the season. I think it's a fair example. Um..I think it's incredibly overpriced." Pepper finished the sentence she started earlier.

"Ugh." Wanda said as she didn't really care about any of that.

"I need it. Buy it. Store it." Antonella said after a while and walked past Pepper who walked behind her. "Okay. The MIT commencement speech..." Pepper started. "Is in June. Please, don't harangue me about stuff that's way, way, down..." Antonella said. "Well, they're haranguing me, so I'm gonna say yes." Pepper said.

"Why would she needs something she probably don't know about?" Piper asked but got nothing in response.

"Deflect it and absorb it. Don't transmit it back to me." Antonella said as she stopped. "I need you to sign this before you get on the plane." Pepper said while stopping next to Antonella. "What are you trying to get rid of me for? What, you got plans?" Antonella asked quickly.

"She did." Hera said as Poseidon looked at her. "How you know?" Poseidon asked. "I was watching." Hera said like it was nothing.

"As a matter of fact, I do." Pepper said. "I don't like it when you have plans." Antonella said playfully. "I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday." Pepper said as Antonella eyes widened. "It's your birthday?" Antonella asked. "Yes." Pepper said with a saddened tone.

"Did she forget Alessandro birthday too?" Wanda asked. "She never did ulike you who missed 3 of his birthday's and didn't care." I said as Wanda face turned red.

"I knew that. Already?" Antonella said with an awkward smile. "Yeah. Isn't that strange? It's the same day as last year." Pepper said as she played along. "Well, get yourself something nice from me." Antonella said trying to make it up. "I already did." Pepper said with a smile.

"And?" Antonella said confused. "Oh, it was very nice." Pepper said. "And?" Antonella asked again. "Very tasteful. Thank you, Miss. Stark." Pepper said while blushing. "You're welcome, Miss Potts." Antonella said as she took a cup from Pepper and drank it while leaving.

The Gods eyes widen. "Did they do the do?" Apollo asked. "......" I said not knowing what to say. "Maybe, maybe not......" I said.

The screen shows Happy and Antonella racing to the airport and arriving. "You're good. I thought I lost you back there." Antonella said getting out. "You did, ma'am". Happy said as he grab Antonella's things from the trunk. "I had to cut across Mulholland." Happy also said.

"I got you. I got you."  Antonella said. "What's wrong with you?" James asked as he was standing at the jet doorway and Antonella was walking towards him. "What?" Antonella asked. "Three hours." James said pointing at the watch on his arm. "I got caught doing a piece for Vanity Fair." Antonella said as she got in the jet.

"He waited three hours! Poor him!" Clint said mockingly. "You want to die horribly?" Hera said with a smile that sends shivers down everyone's spine.

"For three hours. For three hours you got me standing here." James complained. "Waiting on you now. Let's go. Come on. Wheels up! Rock and roll!" Antonella said as she and Happy get inside the plan and a few seconds later James does too. It then shows the jet in the air and flying to go somewhere.

"Well.... Let's keep going!" Will said not wanting to hear an argument yet.
