Avengers: Jedi Master (CWAC Book Two)

Chapter 10: Jealous Breakfast

Tony pokes at his breakfast, Steve at his side with Natasha across from them as she cooks a traditional Russian breakfast Tony can't pronounce, it's good though, Tony's just not in the mood this morning. Steve and Natasha share a look, the red head shrugs, Steve looks to Tony.

"What's wrong with you?" he asks, Tony looks to him just as a male, half dressed, stumbles into the kitchen, he looks around and clears his throat.

"The way out?" he asks, Steve points towards the stairs, the male nods in thanks and hurries away, Tony watches him go before looking to the doorway as Shea appears, looking worse for ware, Natasha looks to her.

"Wow, you look like crap" Natasha teases, Shea looks to her.

"Turns out tequila and a Skywalker....doesn't mix" Shea teases back moving to the coffee machine. "And there was a lot of tequila" Shea adds pouring the coffee. Natasha frowns and looks to Tony.

"I thought you two went out for dinner" she points out.

"We did" Tony agrees.

"Yeah" Shea agrees. "I just went out for drinks after and met...." Shea frowns trying to remember his name. "I want to say...David?....or Daniel?"

"Or douche" Tony whispers, Steve nudges him and shakes his head. Selene and Bucky walk into the kitchen, Selene and Shea sharing a look as Bucky sits with Steve.

"So hungry" Bucky complains grabbing a plate of Natasha's cooking. Shea clears her throat and then leaves the room. Tony watches her go and frowns before standing and following her.

"Shea" he states just as she is about to go back into her room, she looks to him. "We're good, right?" he asks, she smiles and nods.

"Of course, why wouldn't we be?"

"Just....with dinner last night and that guy" she looks down and then nods biting her lip before looking to him again.

"Okay" she starts. "You missed the signal" she tells him, he frowns at her. "After dinner..." she sighs. "I wanted you to kiss me" she tells him, Tony looks down at his feet. "I figured you of all people would have seen it...." Tony looks to her, she smiles and shakes her head. "Guess.....It was me, I read it all wrong" she whispers and opens her bedroom door. Tony rubs the back of his neck, she'd...wanted him to, he should have kissed her. He takes a breath and grabs her wrist tugging her back to him, she looks up at him with a frown. "Tony?" she asks.

"I wasn't sure you.....liked me like that" he tells her brushing her hair back from her face. "I mean...." she leans up and kisses him, Tony closes his eyes and kisses her back, his hands finding her face.

"Tony, I let you play with my baby...." she whispers against his lips. "You think I let anyone do that?" she asks him, he sighs softly and smirks. "You made changes to the blueprint......." he presses his forehead to hers.

"So....want to try dinner again?" he asks her, she smiles and nods.

"I would love too" she answers. "And just so you know" she tells him. "Me and..." she frowns thinking, Tony smirks. "Whatever his name is" she settles on. "We didn't do anything, he passed out before....anything could happen, I just..." she sighs and shrugs. "Guess it was my plan b" she admits.

"What? Making me jealous?" he asks her, she bites her lip and nods.

"Yeah" she admits, he pulls her closer and kisses her again. He smirks and pulls back.

"Well it worked" he teases and pokes her nose, before brushing her hair back. "Say....seven, tonight?" he asks.

"Tomorrow" she corrects. "I have to get rid of this hangover" he chuckles and nods.

"Yeah, all right, take the day....." he gives her a wink and then walks away, Shea shakes her head and smirks heading into her room.

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

Tony lifts up the welders mask and looks to Shea as she pulls on her overalls, he glances to Clint who paints birds onto a piece to go over his bunk. Tony looks back to Shea.

"I thought you were recovering" he teases, she looks to him and smirks.

"This is how I recover" she answers moving to her work bench. "Working"

"Oooo girl after my own heart" he teases back, she smiles and grabs her tool belt.

"What are you working on?" she asks moving to him.

"Back off" he teases. "That tequila sweat could set the whole place on fire" she shoots him an unamused look and then throws her glove at him, he laughs catching it. She smirks and shakes her head.

"You're one to talk, don't you wear scotch as aftershave?" she teases back, he smiles watching her move to the blueprint, that smile, warm more than teasing now. She pulls her hair up onto the top of her head and sets her headphones in her ears. Tony goes back to his work, feeling a little more chipper with her around.

"Look out!" Clint shouts as a part of the scaffholding swings loose, Shea and Tony turn towards it, both sets of eyes widening, Shea throws out her hand and the metal pipe stops, mid-air, Clint and Tony looks to Shea, who seems to realises, she drops her hand and the pipe hits the ground, she looks to them both before turning and running away. Tony and Clint share a look. "What the hell?" Clint asks Tony who shrugs.
