3) Tony Be's Anxious

Wait... check out the rest of the image at the top

Hey guys, sorry for the wait, I got my laptop back, but now my Ipad's glitching because Siriusly, fml, so...here!

Don't ask what be's means, it's just something I say

It is pretty short though, be warned

Tony

I looked out the window again as I waited for Percy. When I had offered to let him stay here, I wasn't thinking. I didn't regret it, I hadn't seen the kid in years, but I didn't know if he was mad at me or if he hated me, plus I hadn't told anyone else he could be coming. After Sally called, confirming he would be staying with me, I had come here to sit by the window waiting for him anxiously, like it's some cheesy high school romcom and he's the boy I'm trying to sneak into my house.

Steve had come over while I was pacing earlier, and put his hand on my shoulder, asking; "What's wrong Tony? Are you okay? Do you need to sit down?" because America's Golden Boy just can't keep from mothering people if they appear too be in any state of distress at all.

I had brushed him off with a simple, "I'm fine Cap, I just got a lot on my mind," but thinking back on it, my distress was obviously a lot more evident than i'd thought, seeing as Bucky had just come up behind Cap, and, while putting his flesh arm over his shoulder he asked;

"What's up with tony? Dude looks stressed."

Steve just shrugged at him. "I don't know, when I asked he just said there was a lot on his mind."

"Well that's because you're obviously asking the wrong way, Captain" was Bucky's immediate teasing response, "Yo! Stark! What's up with you today?" he called across the room to me.

"What? Oh! Um-ah-well-ugh, just uh, um - JARVIS?" I cut myself off to ask assistance from the AI before I could make a bigger fool of myself, "Could you call the others down to the lounge as well, please?"

"Of course Mr. Stark, right away," was the only reply I got from the ceiling.

I had already alerted JARVIS to the fact that my nephew was coming, and he was too give the receptionist orders to direct him to wherever I was when he showed up, so I didn't particularly need to be watching for him, but I was trying to occupy my thoughts without getting lost in working in my lab, especially since, if I wasn't here when he showed up, the others might try to kill him, but I was just about to give up and head down to distract myself, so I thought I'd warn the others, because I really didn't need an angry mama bear Sally on my doorstep.

I stepped into the middle of the room to explain after pulling myself out of my thoughts, just as Clint, the last straggler from around the tower, hopped down from the vents.

"Okay, Stark, spill," demanded Bucky, obviously confused after having watched me freak out while the others were arriving.

"Please," Stever added, ever the polite one.

"No, not please," Bucky said, "I want to know what the hell is going on with him!"

Clint let out a theatrical gasp before turning too Nat dramatically. "Bucky said a no-no word!" before a look of obviously fake worry crossed his face,"Do you think Steve will put him in timeout?"

Steve facepalmed as Nat smiled a bit before elbowing Clint to get him to shut up, saying, "Hush! I want too hear what... whatever this is, is all about."

Bucky cut in, "apparently Stark's been pacing in front of the window all day, but when I asked him what was going on, he stuttered for a bit before calling everyone else here," he explained.

I took a deep breath, "Well-," I began, only to be cut off by the clicking of the lock to the door of the stairwell, opening up to reveal the face of my surprisingly muscular nephew who I hadn't seen in ten years, although he didn't seem even the slightest bit winded from climbing over eighty flights of stairs. And, as I looked around at my team too find them with their weapons all drawn and aimed at my only slightly surprised nephew, because of course, he had to show up after everybody got there, but before I could explain, I facepalmed.

Run on sentences much?

Sorry for how confusing that last paragraph is, I wrote it, and I still have to spend a few minutes trying to decipher it.
