Roller coaster. That was the best way to describe the past year of your life. Somehow, a year ago, Tony Stark itself showed up at the company where you used to work demanding you to work with him. He didn't even ask. He just told you to do so. At the beginning you weren't too sure about working with him. He had a name and a reputation behind him so of course it made you hesitate. At the same time, you knew it was the opportunity of your life so that same week you signed your resignation letter and left the job you had been doing for the past five years.
It was a huge step, and huge change. Specially, when you found out you weren't going to work for Stark Industries, you were going to work for the Avengers. When you first found out about it fear was all you felt as you remembered all the chaos caused in New York and so many other places because of them. Yet, when you thought about it, you saw a chance to make a difference, to make the world a better place. Maybe the caused chaos, but it was their work and it had to be done. Immediately, you signed your contract. Tony had you move there the moment you signed your contract since it was safer. You used to live alone so you didn't have a single complain about it.
Ever since, the Avengers had become your family and the Avengers Tower had become your home. You loved your work at the lab with Tony. What did you do? Well, you were an engineer so your work was create or improve the team's weapons and suits. You loved it. And they were so happy with your job and with you. Some of them were sceptical with someone new at the beginning, especially Bucky, but you ended up making your way through him eventually and at that point he was like a big brother to you. An overprotective one, you had to admit. But you loved him and you loved every single one of them.
"Morning Tony" you said walking a Monday morning into the lab with two cups of coffee. "You spent the night here again?" You asked as you saw the rings under his eyes.
"I had to" he said taking the cup you offered. "Thanks, love" he said.
You smiled a little. It had been a time since the pet names between you two became a thing. It started out accidentally but now you were both used to it, and you liked it. It made you feel special somehow.
"You have to sleep, Tony" you said sitting at your usual spot.
"Sleeping is overrated. The sooner I figure this out, the sooner we defeat that freak" Tony sighed.
You had spent a week now trying to figure out how to defeat a guy who could create breaches and move to whenever he wanted. It looked cool, but it became a problem when he suddenly appeared behind anyone on the team and attacked from behind. Not funny.
"And what will happen when you fall asleep while you're flying?" You asked raising an eyebrow.
"Unlikely" he replied turning again to the screen.
