Falling - A Stony, Avengers FanFic

8. Assistants

Over the past few days, Bruce, Steve and Tony had patched up the gaping holes in their friendship. Once Bruce had wrapped his head around the fact that they were just two guys, and that it didn't really matter at all, they had become so much closer. Tony was glad to have his science buddy back again and Steve was just happy to see Tony happy.

"Ugh," Tony whined, "I don't understand why we have to go to this stupid meeting."

Steve laughed and knotted Tony's tie lovingly, as lovers so often do. "Because Tony," he jokingly told him off, "Fury wants us to meet the new assistants and discuss any further options about the relic situation."

They all sat around the large glass meeting table as Fury ran over all the mistakes and fuck ups they did over the last two months. He also mentioned the media crave over Steve and Tony's relationship.

"I'm fine with it unless it weakness your skills and combat." Fury stated then went on with the boring things with only Bruce was listening to. Steve wasn't even paying attention because Tony kept looking out the glass window walls to passing people dressed in suits.

"Well, that's the end of this meeting. There no planned missions for the next three months so just keep on the down low. Dismissed." Fury farewelled the team.

Soon two girls walked into the room. One dressed in a sleek black pencil skirt and pure white button up shirt while the other was in black skinny jeans and a grey blazer over a blue graphic tee.

"Hi, we're your new assistants. I'm Beth and this is Abbey." Beth said forgetting that they had already met.

Abbey gave a small wave and said, "I remember meeting to guys back in Italy. It's going to be a pleasure to work with you." She held out her hand to Steve and he shook it well with a grateful smile.

"OMG, Abbey I totally forgot! Hi!" Beth cheerful said clearing looking at Natasha.

"So you girls are now going to 'assist' us at basically anything?" Bruce asked.

"Yes." the girls replied in unison.

"Well, Abbey will be doing more of the paper work side of thing while I'm an all rounder." Beth added on.

Abbey sighed.
"I always get the shit work." she complained.

Beth laughed, her eyes sparkling, "You get LESS work." she pointed out, engrossed in the conversation and completely missing Natasha's loving looks in her direction. Beth waved off Abbey's argument with a careless hand, and turned to Natasha.

"Hi." she whispered.

"Hi." Natasha whispered back.

"I swear," Tony muttered to Steve in annoyance, "if they don't get together soon..." he left the threat hanging.

Natasha, who was clearly and obviously in earshot, gave Tony an evil glare. Beth laughed at her expression, placing a calming hand on her pale arm.

"Calm down babe," she laughed.

Steve gave a tiny, little sigh. "You know what Tony? I may actually agree with you. You're right."

"Why is that so surprising to you?" the brunette joked to his boyfriend.

"I honestly think you overrate your cleverness." Steve informed him.

"Oh, shut up." Tony mock-glared before melting and kissing him.

Beth grinned, "I totally called that." she told Natasha.

"Hmm?" The red head asked.

"Two months ago? When we met? I totally said that Stony would happen. I'm right. I'm a genius."
