You awoke to the sound of your phone ringing. You glanced at your (F/C) clock on your nightstand and just about made out that it was 4:17 AM. Your phone stopped ringing and you put your head down on your pillow, then it started again. You picked it up and there was no contact name ... "oh crap !"
You Answered the phone and heard the familiar voice of Mr Stark. "Hi (Y/N), you know who it is, I need you, my driver will come and pick you up in ten minutes and bring you to me, don't keep me waiting" then the call ended.
You laughed slightly at the innuendo, before realising it was 4:18 and you had to be ready in 10 minutes to meet Tony Stark. You slid out of your bed and headed to the bathroom, and just as you opened the door your phone rang again.
"Ughhh"

You answer it again; "Me again. Make sure you bring all of your stuff, I've prepared you a room"
Shocked, you almost fall back. "Wha-"
"Bring your stuff, bring yourself I have your room ready, the driver's already set off... 7 minutes" then the call ended.

"Wait...what ?!?!"

'Happy' opened the rear door of a black rolls Royce and took your case. You slipped into the car and relaxed into the comfortable leather seat. You sat for a minute in silence, almost falling asleep, then it hit you. You squealed at the surrealness of everything... you were going to be working for Tony Stark... THE actual Tony Stark.

You'd thrown your favourite clothes and shoes, toiletries, makeup, art supplies, laptop and chargers all into your suitcase, then left a note on the coffee table for Bella and Hannah telling them not to worry, and you'd call them later and explain everything. Not that they'll even realise you're missing.

Before you knew it, the car stopped and happy opened the door for you, then retrieved your bag from the boot. You looked up...There it was. The Stark tower complex... the avengers tower !!

You stood in the dark street at half four in the morning did a mini dance. This was actually happening!!
You looked at Happy and he looked...well, he looked happy. He laughed at your stupid dancing and escorted you inside, where Tony was waiting.
You thanked Happy then he left the two of you, in awkward silence, alone. You looked at Stark in confusion and awe. "You're hired...in case you couldn't already tell from the phone calls"

"Come on then, we've got work to do." He added, then headed to the elevator. You followed him, looking around in fascination. Everything was immaculate, which was kind of surprising.
"What about my suitcase ?" You asked, looking at Tony.

"Happy's taking care of it." He replied.

You both stood in the elevator. It was silent for a moment, then you built up the courage to ask a question.
"Why call at twenty past four in the morning ?" You asked. Oh gosh that sounded rude.

"I wasn't asleep and I needed to start on new work and I needed you here to do that. You're gonna have to get used to late nights and early mornings"

"Do I get to meet the Avengers? Obviously I've met you... but what about the others?"

Tony grinned at that." You are living here... with the avengers, I think you will meet them, don't you ?"
You couldn't respond to that, you just smiled from ear to ear like the Cheshire Cat.

"Jeez, you look like a 5 year old who was just handed a lolly pop, calm down" he smirked, but you just kept smiling.

Tony showed you around his work area/ lab and your nerd scale was off the chart. There was technology you'd never even dreamt of, and so many confusing equations that you almost passed out.
Then he showed you some of his iron man suits... you freaked. You branded the day as the best day of your life, then face palmed for looking like a giant idiot for marvelling over metal suits in front of Tony Stark, but he didn't mind, he just soaked up the attention.

He then showed you the new prototype he was working on, and that's where you came in. You now need to design the main suit, label all equipment required, write/explain/ draw any alterations to Tony's work, and you need to get food or coffee for Tony whenever he needs it, because he 'can't be bothered' and 'now has you'.

You'd been talking to him while he was showing you his lab, and you were trying to get to grips with the fact you were now working with him.

It was around 9AM when he finished showing you your work and explained everything.
"Come with me" he said as he made his way to the elevator once again, so you followed him.
"Where are we going now?" You asked eagerly, following behind him like a puppy.

"To meet the rest of the household" he grinned. Your heart started pumping in your chest and you almost lost your breath.

The elevator made that ding noise and the doors opened, revealing a 'living room' for the avengers. Tony stepped out of the elevator and you followed him. You both walked through the room. Tony laughed at your 'O' shaped mouth,then responded by mimicking you. You went to the kitchen, and both stood in the doorway, you in front of Stark.
Sat at the kitchen island was Bucky, his dark brunette hair in a messy bun, with his metal arm and a crimson pyjama top, eating breakfast.
You turned around to Tony and mouthed "Is that the winter solider ?!" To him, he responds with a nod. You turn back around just in time to dodge a plum that was thrown that hit Tony instead.
You burst out laughing at Tony who looks really offended, then look back to Bucky, who turned to face you, then began to glare. You threw your hands up and stopped laughing. You slowly grabbed the bruised plum from the floor and tossed it back to Bucky.
