You, Me And A Little Something Extra

[Deleted]

Date: Feb. 20th
open to Tony, Bruce and Pepper interaction

the sound of a loud bang was what awoke the doctor from his sleep turning over to face the nightstand where the clock sat he saw it was only midnight "ugh..." Bruce drags a hand over his face in annoyench "T-Tone?, that you making that racket?" he grumbles out now flipping back over to face his boyfriend a slight glare resided on his face.

It was not Tony at all, actually. Instead, it was a ginger haired female who had been told where Tony Stark stayed. Virginia "Pepper" Potts was her name. She stood at the door, biting her lip. What would Tony say when he saw her? She hesitantly raised a fist to knock on the door. It was midnight. Wouldn't he be asleep by now? She didn't hear anything beyond the door. Would he want to be bothered, even by her? It was a question she pondered. In all honesty, she had no idea if Tony wanted her around at all. There were quite a few pretty ladies around here. It wouldn't be surprising if Tony was hitting on them.

Pepper had to swallow her fear though. She knocked at the door ferociously, praying that Tony would answer the door. "Tony, please, answer the door." Pepper whispered fearfully.

[Deleted]

Bruce shot stright up out of bed now at the knocking on the door eyebrows knit togther as he tried to place the famillar voice and soon it dawned on him.

Pepper

Bruce swallows what was pepper even doing here? the thought spun around the doctor's brain like that of a hamster on it's wheel. Pepper had zero knowledge of what had happened beween him and Tony the panic and fear nawed at his stomach. He was by the door now

"Miss Potts?" he finally spoke "it's Dr. Banner"

[Deleted]

Dr. Banner? Maybe she went to the wrong room, or whoever told her this was the right one was confused. The girl was around seventeen, mentioned something about an Avengers movie, and Pepper realized that the girl could have either gotten the two confused, or gave her the wrong room on purpose. Those seemed like logical reasons. She furrowed her brows before speaking again. "Dr. Banner? Do you know where Tony is?" Pepper asked, raising her voice slightly.

Thoughts were running through her head like crazy. Where was Tony? Why was this where Bruce stayed? Was Tony OK? What was going on? Pepper didn't get a good vibe around the house. At all.

[Deleted]

Bruce leans agaist the door. "I'm guessing he would be in the lab after all that is where he usealy always is" Bruce said stareing drectly at his sleeping partner and praying to god that he was a deep sleeper. sweat trickles down his brow now as he watches Tony for any signs of him waking up. god he was thankful he locked the door.

[Deleted]

"Bruce. It's midnight. I honestly doubt Tony would be in the lab at this hour," Pepper responded. Her expression was full of perplexity, a shame that Bruce couldn't see it. A frown took over her face as she reached for the doorknob. Locked. Alright, there was something weird going on here. Pepper could feel it. She couldn't help but feel that Bruce was hiding something, but what? Why would he be reluctant to say anything about Tony's location? Perhaps there was something wrong with Tony. Pepper bit her lip before speaking again.

"Dr. Banner, is this where Tony stays? A young soldier told me this was where he stayed." Fear overtook Pepper. Where was Tony at? If he actually was in the lab, why at this hour? Where was the lab at? Was Bruce trying to hide something? Questions continued to spin around in the female's head. It was mind boggling, and she wanted it to stop.

[Deleted]

Bruce lets out a short laugh which sounded a shit load more beween a laugh and a cry "Mr. Stark told me he pulls all-nighters back home at his tower and his home in CA. "i would't put it to him not being there "The lab is down the hall and down a flight of stairs to your left" he says "let me get dressed quick and then i can help you look for him" he tries to keep his voice light.

[Tony Stark/Iron Man]

Tony heard the knocking. He heard Pepper. He was actually fully awake. And scared out of his wits. He thought Pepper was aware of being single again but some parts of Tony's heart still belonged to her. Now he had two people he fell in love with together and pepper was not going to be happy. Maybe he could keep the relationship with bruce a secret until it was a proper and calm time. He gently and quietly sat up and prayed that pepper would buy the stalling Bruce would give her until Tony got out and made a bullshit excuse

[Deleted]

Bruce turns and meets the brown eyes of his boyfriend and 'don't say a word' he mouths to him. The doctor jerks his head to a nerby window as if asking Tony to go out it which was a stupid idea in it's self since Pepper would surely hear him.

[Tony Stark/Iron Man]

Tony nodded. He was in no mood to be sarcastic. It wasn't the time anyway, Tony just tried his best to hide away from Pepper. He never was a religious man but he hoped that the woman would buy it. Pepper wasn't stupid but she was easy to trick every once in a while. This wasn't a good time at all. Who even brought pepper here to meet him anyway?

[Deleted]

a thin smile formed on the doctors lips that was aimed at Tony. "Pepper? you still there?" he calls out his brow furrows as he turns to face the door again. Whoever the hell decided it would be a good idea to bring Pepper here would be in deep shit once Bruce no.. the Hulk got ahold of then.

[Deleted]

Pepper spent a moment of her time to think about Banner's suggestion. Perhaps Tony really was down in the lab. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to believe, and it wouldn't hurt to check it out. She sighed and nodded before remembering Bruce couldn't see her. "Yeah, I'm still here Dr. Banner. I can wait and we can go check out the lab." Pepper responded at last. "You want to meet up down there, or would you prefer I wait? I'd hate to somehow get lost by accident."

[Deleted]

"You can go ahead and wait for me down at the end of the hall" he says "I assure you that you won't get lost" he says with a short forced laugh. He then turns to look back at Tony "Get up and get dressed" he says while throwing on a shirt and pair of pants "You thought of a plan yet, Mr. Genius?" Bruce hisses out.

[Deleted]

Pepper once more nodded, yet again forgetting Bruce couldn't see her. "I'll be waiting at the end of the hall then," she responded, slowly stepping back from the door. She heard Bruce say something, but assumed it was just to himself. Right now, she wasn't going to look into it. The ginger haired female walked to the end of the hall, careful not to make excessive sound that would awaken everyone in the building. At least, those who were still asleep. It seemed like insomnia was a common thing around here from what she had heard. She stood at the end of the hall, hands folded together as she awaited Bruce's arrival. Hopefully, Tony was awake when they found him. Pepper wouldn't want to have to wake him up herself to let him know she was in this war now. Hey, surprise, I'm going to be in this war and I will probably die fighting too, love you! That wasn't an appealing scenario.

[Deleted]

Bruce's body slumpes agaist the door in relief his eyes closed for a moment. "Alright," he said abuprtly opening them open again. "The plan is, i take Pepper to the lab and then you will join us" he says slipping into some shoes leaving his socks behind. Bruce then rose and walked to Tony's side of the bed before crouching down next to him "I don't want to screw this up Tone" he says brow furrow "So please...please stick to the plan" he rises but not before placeing quick peck to Tony's lips and then he was out the door and walking towards Pepper.

"Labs this way" he said smileing as he leads Pepper down the flight of stairs to the empty lab.
