Avengers: Jedi Master (CWAC Book Two)

Chapter 6: Hard Work Begins

"Wow" Selene states stood next to Shea as the Tempest is brought into the Avenger's Mansion hanger. "She is beautiful" Shea smiles.

"Yeah she is" Shea states.

"I think I'm going to like having you around, Skywalker" Selene tells the woman. "If you bring around all these nice toys for the boys" Shea chuckles. Selene then turns a scary face on Shea. "But I know you are hiding something, I can smell it on you.....there is just....something about the way you smell.....if this damages the team" Selene warns. "If your secret gets any of them hurt or killed.....I will slaughter you in your sleep" Selene threatens.

"Understood" Shea tells her.

"Good" Selene smiles and walks away. Shea blinks a little and looks back to the Tempest. Tony practically skips with joy to her side.

"Doesn't she look magnificent!" he throws out his arms towards the Tempest. "And she's not finished yet" Tony throws an arm over Shea's shoulders and kisses her head. Shea snorts and shoots him a look. "Today smells like a good day"

"Been at the whiskey already?" she asks with a smirk.

"Hahaha...no....maybe I'm just drunk on you" he teases back. Shea rolls her eyes.

"Do those lines ever work?" she asks.

"Sometimes" he tells her with a smirk. "Come on" he grabs her hand and pulls her towards the ship. "I can't wait to get started"

................................

Shea pulls her hair up as Tony pulls on a set of overalls, he glances to Shea as stretches before pulling her overalls over her shoulders and wraps the arms around her waist.

"What do you want to start on?"

"No offence, Stark" she looks to him. "But.....maybe I should...."

"Whoa...no...no, we agreed, that we would work together on this"

"I know....I'm just...." Tony smiles.

"She's your baby.....but give me something to work on" Shea sighs and turns to him, Tony fights against his eyes wanting to look down, Shea is only wearing a sports bra vest thingy and it covers very little.

"The labs...." she offers. "It will be yours and Banner's space"

"All right, that I can do, leave it to me"

"All the...fittings and equipment should be in the designated space" he nods and walks away, Shea smiles and shakes her head before plugging in her headphones.

....................................

Shea pulls her harness up around her waist and checks the hold on it before pulling herself up the outside of the Tempest.

"What are you doing up there?" Bucky asks watching Shea.

"Welding" she answers looking down at him. "With Stark we'll be moving onto the back portion soon and I need to ready the steel support system"

"Can I help?" Shea laughs and looks to him.

"No" she shakes her head.

"Put me to work" Bucky pleads with her. "Please, I'm bored" Shea chuckles and presses her knee to the side of her jet.

"Fine" she looks to him. "Tony's working on the labs, so why don't you grab Steve and work on the sleeping quarters, the sleeping units need bolting to the framework"

"On it" Bucky walks away.

....................................

"Hey" Clint Barton drops out of the vents above the Tempest, Shea raises an eyebrow at him as he sits on the top of the jet. "Clint Barton" he introduces. "Hawkeye" she smirks and waves the welder a little.

"Shea Skywalker...your new pilot....at least I will be once the jet is finished"

"Barnes said you're letting him work on it with Steve.......anything I can do?" he asks, Shea looks up at him. "I'm bored....let me do something" Shea sighs and sets the welder down.

"Fine.....you are a qualified pilot, right?"

"Not on your level but yeah, I was the Quinjet pilot...."

"Fancy the co-pilot title?" she teases, Clint's eyes light up.

"Hell yeah..."

"All right, well.....they sent a few prototypes for the cockpit seats so......"

"Want me to test them out? I'll grab Nat" he jumps back into the vents. Shea smirks and shakes her head going back to her work.

"That was nice of you" Shea sighs and turns to look at Tony who is smirking up at her, he sits on a cooler with a beer.

"What are you doing?" she asks, "You are suppose to be working"

"I'm taking a break"

"You're lazy" she tells him. "We've only been working three hours"

"That is double my normal day hours" he teases leaning back.

"I don't tolerate slackers, Stark!" she shouts back.

"You've got Barnes, Rogers, Romanoff and Barton working for you" he points out drinking his beer.

"You are the engineer" Shea pushes herself off of the jet letting the rope lower her down. "I thought you wanted to work on this" she tell him unclipping the harness.

"I do...." she turns to him and sighs.

"Look if you are not taking this seriously, I can do this myself"

"I want to help" he stands grabbing another beer and walking to her. "But this isn't the Airforce, you don't need to be so.....uptight" Shea rolls her eyes.

"I am not uptight" Tony holds out the beer to her.

"You're a little uptight.....but it's your training, we've just got to...untrain you" Tony teases and shakes the beer. "One break, one beer.....come on" Shea rolls her eyes and takes the beer. "Loosen up a little"
