Journey of the Heart (An Avengers Fanfic)

Prologue

My name is Pepper Potts-Stark.

Yes, I'm married to that guy named Tony Stark.

Yes, he really acts like a complete idiot at times. And yes, he is a really good kisser.

Anyway...

This is the story of how I saved the Avengers' lives.

Well in a way.

Let me explain how this all started.

------------

It was just a normal day at Avengers Tower. Well... as normal as a day at the Tower can be.

Tony was in the lab with Bruce concocting some complicated serum. Supposedly it would speed the healing process. At least that's what it was supposed to do. If they could get the balance of chemicals right that is. Let's just say it was a work in process.

Thor was channel surfing in the lounge while eating Poptarts.  Natasha was doing yoga in her room. Clint was in the archery range practicing. And Steve was in the library reading a book.

It had been pretty quiet around the Tower lately. No urgent missions or alien attacks. Fury surprisingly hadn't been around in weeks. Normally he checked in to make sure they didn't all drop off the face of the earth.

It was nice, but for some of the Avengers, it got dull very quickly. And when the boredom set in the pranking would begin.

Most times the pranks were innocent, pudding in the shampoo bottles, plastic wrap over the door, onions in the sock drawers. But when it went on for more than a week, then things began to get serious.

The last time that happened the entire tower had to be evacuated. And somehow Tony managed to torch my closet.  Needless to say there was no way I was going to let that happen again. Yes, he did apologize. And he did offer to replace all the things I lost. But long story short we don't need that happening again.

I wish I could say that I could one-handedly keep them all in line. But I'm not superhuman. And on top of that I run a business. I debated many options to solving this problem. But one day a solution dawned on me. So being the good wife that I am I acted on that idea.

That's when I decided to call Tony's cousin, Rebekah.
