Love is Family

The time Tony Stark panicked over a phone and Bruce Wayne drinks tea.

A/N: I honestly have no idea what to put here. Just be warned that the writing might be of lower quality compared to the last two. Let's get into the chapter.

~Tony~

'Sir, you have just received a message.' JARVIS's voice echoed through my workshop.

"Just save it for later like always." I waved my hand dismissively. "It's probably just Pepper calling about a meeting or Steve calling to tell us that we need new punching bags."

To be fair, that's honestly only kind of messages I get nowadays. Normally I don't mind messaging them back, but I was working on a huge project that is irrelevant to the plot and will probably get finished offscreen.

'Actually Sir, I was able to trace the message and found that it originated from Gotham.' My reliable AI informed me.

Aaand suddenly the project can wait. Throwing the screwdriver aside, I told JARVIS to pull up a screen. I scrolled through the messages before finding one labelled as "Anonybat" which made me do a cross between a snort and scoff. He may be the Dark Knight, but he definitely has a sense of humor. I opened the message and started reading the contents.

'The family reunion is happening in two days. Make sure you've gotten a gift for the twins. And actually show up unlike last time. Gramps had anxieties when you didn't show up.' -Anonybat.

The reunion was in two days?! I quickly ordered JARVIS to pull up a clock. That can't be true, it's only-! ...Well shit, it is in two days. Fuck, I forgot and now ol' grandpa Merlin is going to be worried and he tends to be very trigger happy with his magic when he's anxious. Last time he blew up the kitchen. I pulled up my schedule and frowned when I saw that I had a meeting that day. Not only that, I recognized the names of the people in the meeting and remembered that they were all meeting to discuss the next step of our latest Stark Phone update.

Damn it, Peps! The one time I can't wiggle my may out of a meeting. The reunion was clearly the more important event on schedule but they need me to launch the update since I was the only one with the code to initiate the launch.

I groaned out loud before heading out of the room. I am really stressed out and could use a coke. Normally I would get some of my finest wine but I'm on alcohol probation so soda and coffee were the best alternative I got. I got to the kitchenette and saw Thor stuffing his face with pop tarts. How has he not gotten diabetes yet? Shaking the thought from my head, I walked pass the Norse God and opened the fridge.

"Greetings, Son of Stark. I haven't seen you in the last three hours now." Thor said with his mouth full.

Was that how long I've been in the workshop? Usually it's longer than that. I took out a can of diet Pepsi and turned around to face Thor. Might as well distract my mind from my dilemma. Might even get a solution from this.

"That's because I was busy with one of my projects. The usual basically."

Thor simply nodded and shoved more pop tarts into his mouth. I swear, the metabolism of the people in the Avengers is unreal. Either that or they have really good exercise programs but I don't want to seem lazy, so I am definitely blaming metabolism. The blonde-haired god was about to say something before our resident doctor walked in, his face focused on his tablet.

As if a switch went off, the Norse God immediately gulped up the pop tart in his hand before hiding the rest of the box in one of the cabinets. When Bruce looked up, all he saw was me holding a can of Pepsi and Thor, who was 'casually' leaning against the kitchen counter.
