he shrugged. "Thorne would forgive me eventually... pepper on the other hand..." held very. very long grudges. the only person she didn't hold a grudge on was Tony and even he got the silent treatment for a good week at times. "Shara is pregnant?!" Steve yelped, startled as he stared at the dog. "she IS! how did i miss that!?" he asked, stunned as James started to laugh. "Chase! you dog!" James teased, grinning. "will it be okay for the puppy to leave her so soon? i thought they needed to be a few months old before they could leave their mother." Pepper admitted. "i wouldn't mind staring at Pepper's boobs." James admitted. "No one is getting a look at my breasts!" Pepper snapped firmly. "and if you keep that up Tony Stark you'll be asleep on the couch tonight!" Pepper warned. "i think your making excuses." Steve teased Tony. "it's good to cry." James admitted. "it makes you feel better. Steve's Ma said it was because when you cry, you let out all the bad emotions you hide in yourself, out." he admitted. "you shouldn't be embarrassed to cry, everyone does it. police are here." just as he said that the elevator slid open, revealing two police officers, both female and both looking highly disgruntled. "good morning. i'm Officer Samantha Dawning and this is Officer Teressa Lemming." the one inf front explained. "we're here about a possible abuse report and a possible kidnapping." she explained. "we're not sure which report is the true one so if you don't mind, we'd like to ask you all a few questions?"
 
“hmm...she does treasure me. She’d definitely not forgive you.”Tony snickered a little looking up at steve. “She is. And you probably don’t spend alot of time around pregnant dogs. You didn’t know she was a little rounder then normal.”Thorne pointed out amused before snickering as chase nearly climbed in james lap in response to hearing his name. “They do have to be a few months old. But you could come over and visit, figure out what pup fits you two best.”Thorne pointed out. “...But...but pepper!They’re nice breasts.”Tony sulked looking up at his mate in amusement before smiling a little, glad thorne was okay. Thorne nodded a little relaxing as she realized it really was okay to cry before tensing, swallowing hard as she looked at the two. “Hello.”Teressa smiled slightly looking at the group, eyes flicking over as she took in the sight of the small group. Thorne tensed swallowing thickly as she edged closer to be between steve and james, slightly amused as tony shifted to be a protective wall nearly blocking anyone from getting her. He might not be as big or strong as the two super soldiers, but he was definitely protective. “Okay.”Thorne said smiling slightly, strained as she waved the officers towards the table. “Sit, please."
 
Steve chuckled a little. "more like she treasures your sexual prowess." Steve teased, Pepper flushing. "Steven Rogers!" Pepper chastised, making Steve snigger. "well, no, Shara would be the first." he admitted with a smile before he sulked. "you practically invited him to move in! i don't mind Pepper, she's not at all annoying but now Tony's going to be over, like, every day!" he protested. "it's bad enough he crashes here when he's drunk and doesn't want Pepper to find out, not that it ever works." Steve pointed out, Pepper looking smug. "of course it doesn't. you think i don't know where Tony is and what he's doing with whom no matter time of day or night? i know all, i see all, i am all." Pepper whispered dramatically, making both Steve and James laugh. "you don't have to worry. in this case it's basically your word against his and he's already shown a bit of a temper against us. not to mention he can't seam to keep his story straight." they had spoken to Chris already and the filthy pig had all but called them sluts and threatened to have them fired if they didn't bring his wife home, by force if they had to! they had no doubt she was the one telling the truth. "thank you." Samantha stated as she sat down, running through the list of questions. did she leave th hotel willingly with Captain America and the Soldier? why did she leave? did Chris have a habit of calling her names? did he often hit or harm her? why did she not run away before? had any of her family hit or harmed her? did she want to press charges? "yes. she wants to press Charges." Pepper answered that one, setting a hand on Thorne's shoulder. "if he can do this to one woman he can, and probably has to others." she admitted. "we want him off the streets before someone actually ends up dead."
 
“Hm, it is a thing to treasure. Though I would like to think she likes my company to.”Tony smirked at his mate, amused as she blushed, absently rubbing a hand over shara’s side as the dog laid down. “I will not!Though, if you’d just do what I told you, and move into the tower, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I could visit the dogs in the comfort of my own home.”Tony smirked, because they all knew he’d totally be there all the time to visit the puppies before sputtering.”What?I do not. I don’t get drunk anymore.”He said sulking at his mate. Thorne snorted laughing at pepper’s words. “You are a goddess, Pepper dear. To be able to live with him all the time.’She teased a little before swallowing hard as she looked at the cops. Nodding a little. Biting her lip as she settled in to answer questions. “I did. Chris burned me on the stove, and Steve saw. Told me I had to go....and...No...not often....just when he was mad...”Thorne said looking down, looking so very broken. “...Because I am one of the freaks. I didn’t...think I had anywhere else to go.”She muttered avoiding the question on the rest of her family, which was enough a answer on its own. Startling a little at pepper’s answer. “If he’s willing to harm a woman who could easily destroy his life, he’s got more then enough anger to turn on someone powerless.”Tony said tilting his head a little.
 
Pepper rolled his eyes. "his sense of humor is lacking that's for sure." she admitted, patting Tony on the head as if he was the dog. "i am not moving into that hell hole Tony! there are things that move! on their own! everywhere! it's.. it's... it's an uprising waiting to happen!" he protested, shaking his head. "no way!" he huffed. "Tony you where drunk here last week." Steve pointed out. "and Pepper called me to make sure you where up at seven so you could be on time for a meeting." he pointed out. there hadn't been a meeting that day, it was just Pepper having revenge on Tony for drinking without her. "the stove!?" Samantha demanded, horrified before writing that down and taking a picture of the burns. "how often was he mad?" Samantha asked, no pity in her voice, but a kindness that she knew the other woman would appreciate much more. "you are not a freak." Samantha informed her firmly. "very good. we will be sure to press charges. being as he is not a natural Swede we will be able to arrest him here." she promised. "the Swedish police and we will work together to punish him suitably." she promised. "thank you for your cooperation. we hope you feel better soon."
 
“It is not!”Tony huffed glaring at getting petted like a dog, sulking a little. “It is not. My bots are perfectly safe. I’ll just come visit the dogs here then.”He huffed before making a face. “You’re not supposed to tattle on me.”He sulked even if pepper had known, he still didn’t want to talk about getting drunk. Thorne flinched at the detective’s horror, before nodding a little. “Burns deeper, since it was a electric stove then open fire.”She muttered, proving it wasn’t the first time, that chris had tried to get rid of what she’d always hidden. “....often.”She shuddered a little before looking at the cop, tilting her head a little. “....Thank you.”she said smiling strained at the other woman, swallowing thickly. Because while she wanted to tell them not to avoid the police at home, because she knew just how that would go down with her family, she didn’t. Not when she knew they were right, eventually chris would have killed her. Tony smiled a little looking relieved as the cops believed her, nodding. "We'll make sure she's okay."He promised escorting them out before returning, smirking at the others. "We should do something.It's still early."Tony said looking at thorne worriedly, not quite wanting to leave them all alone yet....and finding things between the two super soldiers and thorne interesting enough he wanted to stay and watch
 
"your robots are going to kill us all in our sleep someday." Steve stated simply. "i don't tattle." Steve scoffed. "she knows before you even show up at my place." he pointed out. the police winced at her information that the electric stove burnt deeper and James snarled, enraged that the man had done such a thing. "you stay strong." the police woman suggested. "stay close to your friends. they'll help you through this." she promised, smiling softly at her before they where gone. "it is early." Steve agreed, heading over to the TV and started setting up the multi-player gaming system. "Call of Duty anyone?" "i'll watch." Pepper decided with a smile, sitting down on the couch where she knew Tony would sit. Steve started handing out the mini TV's. Tony had set it up just right that each player got a small TV for their own players, while the people watching could see what was happening on all angles on the big TV. made playing with more than two people a lot easier.
 
“They are not.”Tony huffed before making a face at steve. Wincing a little at the knowledge a electric stove burned deeper, studying the woman a long moment. Trying to decide if it was polite or not to ask her if bruce could check for nerve or muscle damage. “I will.”Thorne said smiling a little as she watched the police leave, looking up at steve, smirking a little. “Definitely.”She said wanting to play against tony. “always.”Tony grinned as he crashed out on the couch with pepper, cuddling her even as he settled in to play. Thorne looking utterly fascinated with the small tv as she settled on the floor to play, her problems momentarily forgotten,which had been tony’s intent. which made it all the more amusing as each game that past, tony kept losing, leaving the billionaire in the ulitimate sulk.
 
Steve and James decided to give Tony a chance and mostly set out to slaughter each other. they kept shooting each other in the most interesting places really, which left Thorne to kick Tony's ass with the occasional back up from either James or Steve. "bored." James declared suddenly. "let's play Mario cart, at least i have to try in that game." he decided, Steve laughing as he went to get the game and set it up. he handed Pepper a controller this time, since she actually liked Mario Cart. soon it was time for Dinner and Steve left them all playing in the living room while he cooked up five steaks to everyone's preferred taste and baked some potatoes with Olive oil and garlic, humming happily as he worked. "Tony, Pepper, you guys staying the night?" Steve asked. "we could watch a movie this evening." he offered. "we have a couple new ones." he admitted. actually every time a new movie came out, James got it. so long it was a Disney or a action movie anyway. Pepper and Tony often added to the massive five hundred or so movie collection. Bruce would trow in documentaries that Steve asked for, or just mailed them to Steve. hell even Clint and Natasha threw in movies from time to time when they came to visit. needless to say the boys where well stocked on everything from Anime (clint) and TV shows from Phil, to action and romance movies. not that the boys watched TV all that often, they preferred to read, do art or practice music rather than watch TV. though James did watch an Anime episode each night.
 
Thorne was laughing in delight, problems forgotten as both her and pepper managed to keep beating the boys at mario cart. It was quite fun really. “Yea. We should do a hobbit movie marathon. I got a pre-released version of the battle of five armies, so we could watch it all.”Tony grinned amused. Thorne smiled as she let the other’s play, sitting out a round, going quiet and withdrawn. Trying so hard to not think to hard, not realizing her all over emotions, and confusion would let the boys tell she was upset. "We should stay the night. Come on pep, you know you want to."tony muttered nuzzling his face against her shoulder, snuggling her. trying to not worry to much about the other woman, trying to distract her from thinking to hard.
 
"why am i so bad at this?!" Steve finally demanded, throwing his controller down in disgust. "pre-release? what doe that even mean?" "yeah, it sounds like some sort of lingo for sex. you know, like that clear stuff that leaks out of your... OW!" "don't be vulgar!" Pepper ordered firmly, she'd smacked him upside the head. "very well we can stay the night." Pepper sighed, Steve chuckling. "we could do a slumber party style." he offered. "i have a couple air mattresses we could kip out on the floor here while we watch the movies." he offered. "i'll get them." James promised, sliding out of his chair and stretching with a grunt which his various joints cracked and popped. "ugh, must you!?" Pepper demanded, making faces as James cracked his back. slowly. "why, yes. i think i must." he admitted, heading off into the closet to gather the air beds. "oh. hold on." Pepper grumbled as her phone went off. "Pepper Potts. oh yes. yes. no i think not. most certainly not... over my cold, dead, bleeding body." Pepper informed the person on the other end of the phone. "of course not. your a fool. yes i hate you too. ahuh, have a nice day." she chirped into the phone before chuckling. "another one of those bastard people who think they can make me merge S.I with their company just because i'm a woman." she scoffed. "clearly, they don't know how dangerous i really am." only Tony could tell she was lying.
 
“Because you’re bad at everything. Seriously, old man.”Tony grinned amused. “Well, james I’m sure you know all about that. Though if your having problems lasting, you might want to see a doctor.”Tony said ducking away before pepper could hit him, before smirking a little. “Pre-release is a movie that’s still in threaters and not on DVD yet. But I got it early. So we can watch it here instead of having to go out.Since I tend to get mobbed if I go out to watch movies.”Tony snickered. “Really?That sounds awesome.”Thorne said looking a little amused at the idea of a adult slumber party, snickering as tony waggled his eyebrows. “Hm, what they wont tell you, is that they just want to snuggle with me in a dog pile. It’s the beginnings of a orgy I tell you.”Tony said smirking. “...I have no idea what to say to that.”Thorne said flushing brightly as she studied the billionaire before frowning as pepper’s phone went off. “No one but me knows how dangerous you really are.”Tony said smirking.a little as he shifted, wondering how he could get her alone to ask what that was about before smirking. Standing up. “If we’re going to do the slumber party thing, I’m going to go see about getting my girl in her sexy pj’s.”Tony smirked as he picked pepper up and disappearing into his bedroom, totally unsubtle about wanting her alone, though he knew the others would chalk it up to his insatiable libido instead of wanting to ask her about the phone call. “Well?”he muttered glancing at her as he started changing clothes.

“Here, let me help.”Thorne said smiling a little as she followed james to get the airbeds and blankets, wanting to help, feeling badly for invading their space, despite them demanding she do so.
 
he snorted. "is that why i always kick your ass in Call of Duty?" he asked, looking amused. "oi! don't you make fun of my virility! your the one that needs viagra!" "alright children." Pepper commanded. "don't make me get the newspaper again." she ordered, James sulking. "i'm not a dog." he complained, looking amused. "no but i'll beat you like one if you don't stop using such language in front of ladies." "oh please. like you'd ever beat a dog." "...i'll beat you like a rat then." they both grimaced at that. "Tony i wouldn't snuggle with you if you where James." Steve teased. "you fart in your sleep." Pepper had to giggle at that. "he does. they stink." Pepper agreed, looking amused. "oooh, the pink ones with the cute hearts on them? she looks best in those." James teased with a grin. Tony and pepper stayed over so often it wasn't any surprise they knew which Pj's made Pepper look the cutest. Pepper just chuckled and followed Tony. "it was the Swedish royalties secretary. they said we had twenty four hours to turn over both Thorne and Chris over to them. they're trying to sweep it all under the rug. cover it up. i refuse to let them do that." she admitted firmly, pulling her hair out of the ponytail it had been in and brushed it out.

"thanks." Jams chirped with a bright smile. "you know, i'm glad you decided to stay." he admitted, smiling at her. "you kind of make me feel calm and safe." he admitted. "it gets lonely here sometimes, when it's just me and Steve." he admitted as he hauled out the heavy things, grimacing as his arm gave out. "fuck ow...." he grumbled, clutching his arm. "no.. it's okay. it does this sometimes..." he promised her. "it'll stop in a minute."
 
“Hm, that’s just me being kind and letting you win.”Tony said before grinning, “I do not need viagra!I’m perfectly capable of taking care of pepper without help.”Tony sulked glaring at the super soldier. “...Are they always like this?”Thorne said looking amused before laughing at steve’s teasing. “I do not!Why is everyone ganging up on me.”Tony sulked looking like a sulking toddler before nodding.”I’d punish you by dressing her in something none cute, but I like her in them to.”He snickered a little before pausing, looking over at her as he pulled on his shirt. “...If we let them, she’ll be dead within a month. We can’t. Not to mention, I think the two golden boys out there would go to war for her if we did send her back.”Tony muttered sighing quietly. “Its weird how attatched they are, especially when she’s not their third. I could understand it then, but she’s not.”Tony said looking vaguely frustrated at not understanding even as he took the brush from her and gently brushing her hair out for her, just needing the touch to reassure himself.

“Welcome.”Thorne smiled a little before flinching a little at his owrds, ducking her head to hide her reaction to the idea of making him feel calm and safe. Feeling shaken and off balance, hating herself for not telling him, simply letting him know. “I’m glad I stayed to.”she said before startling as his arm gave out, catching the heavy things before easing them down, looking at him worriedly.”James?Can I do something?”She said moving closer, hesitating before touching his arm, pressing gently, trying to force the muscles to straighten out.”Come on. Go sit down, I’ll get this out.”She said shooing him away even as she dragged the air mattresses into the living room.
 
"if your letting me win, why do you sulk for so long?" Steve asked, looking amused. "yes. unfortunately. it's some male bonding thing i think." Pepper admitted. "don't worry. you and i can bond over nail polish, lipstick and these idiots." she promised, amused. "we gang up on you because your head wouldn't fit through the door otherwise." Pepper informed him. "your Ego swells so fast we have to deflate it every few days." she stated before heading in to get changed. "there's no saying she doesn't have some sort of bond to them. she could be related. familial bonds are not uncommon in situations like these. especially when we don't know the full extent of what the Serum and the experimentation really did to them." Pepper admitted. "she has no bonding mark, it could very well be because she has one, or both of their genetics within her. who knows what kind of breeding program Hydra might have had. if she had been an experiment, it might explain why the Swedish Royalty treat her so poorly." Pepper admitted, smiling as Tony brushed her hair. many people would think that Tony was a hellish mate. many would think that he and Pepper where ill suited to each other. but behind closed doors, in privacy or with trusted friends, anyone could clearly see how much they loved each other. "i love you Tony." Pepper admitted, pulling him down for a kiss before sweeping out of the room without waiting for an answer. he still had issues saying it, so she didn't make him. he said he loved her in much more intimate ways.

he smiled at her. "no. there's not much that can be done." he admitted, gritting his teeth. "Hot and cold packs just make it worse." he admitted. "and massaging it just makes the wires dig into the muscles so that's no good either." he admitted, sounding a bit... ashamed. he knew he could have it fixed if he just went to Tony and Bruce. but part of him knew he deserved this pain. "...are you sure? it's heavy..." he warned, looking worried, unable to help with his arm acting up though, he could only follow.
 
“Cause I have to make the show look real.IF I didn’t sulk, you’d think something was wrong.”Tony smirked a little. “Weird male bonding...yes. We’ll have to. Nail polish and clothes.”Thorne snickered a little. “Ahh, well that sorta makes sense.”Tony snickered a little. Looking thoughtful as he watched pepper change, he nodded a little. “that makes sense. Wish it was cause she was their missing bonded, but family would be good for all three of them.”Tony muttered leaning in to press a kiss to her neck, nodding. “WEll, that ends now. We’re not going to let them keep treating her like this. And hope her family sees the foolishness of forcing them home. Hopefully they don’t go insane when 24 hours pass and we do nothing.”Tony sighed smiling a little as he kissed her back grinning as he watched her walk out. Watching her go for a moment before following her out.

“Okay. Well, that sucks. REally. Go sit, and don’t do anything.”she ordered before nodding. “I’m fine. Go.”she ordered shooing him towards the couch, hoping he’d forget her own arm was messed up, considering she was wearing long sleeves, she had every intention of doing this before he remembered. Settling the air matresses on the floor before starting to blow them up with the small air pump. “Sit down.”Tony ordered fussing over her as he made her sit down next to james, “You’re not allowed working either. Me and cap can do this.”Tony said smiling a little.
 
he snorted. "i don't believe you for a second." he stated with a smirk. "i have lots f nail polish. and a ton of dresses though they're all out of fashion now i think. we should go shopping together sometime." she offered with a smile. "if she was they're missing bonded, wouldn't they have felt it? our marks throbbed when we met the first time. it was so powerful it almost knocked me out." Pepper reminded him. "besides, if she was their bonded she would have their Bond marks wouldn't she?" Pepper asked, her head tilted. "if not born with them, then they'd come out when she touched them right?" she asked, sighing. "i wish we could help her somehow." she admitted. "oh. they'll go insane, but they won't be able to do anything. they don't have the power or the allies to declare war on the U.S. not over a girl they don't want in the first place." she admitted. "even if they sire another heir, She has the first and final claim to the throne. they will have no choice but to give it to her when she decides she wants it." Pepper admitted with a smile. "until then, we will make her as happy as we can." she admitted with a smile.

"it's not so bad." James promised her. "it'll stop hurting in a minute." he promised. he hadn't forgotten about her hurt arm, but he wasn't sure how to stop her either. if t was Steve he'd just grab his arm and haul him back into the living room, but he couldn't do that with her. "thanks Tony." James stated with a smile, Steve chuckling as he carefully started pumping up the beds. "the foods nearly done." he promised. "we can eat in here while we watch movies." he promised. "here, Tony finish this bed i have to turn the steaks."
 
“We should go shopping tomorrow. I don’t have any clothes.”Thorne miled a little. “They should have. Especially considering the problems they’ve always had with the mark, if she was theirs, they should have figured it out.”Tony muttered thoughtfully before nodding. “You’re right....just wish we could help her more. All we can do is give her a spot to heal, and to figure out herself in. And sweden’s not going to have any choice but to accept this, not when Cap’s calling in favors to make sure she’s staying right where she si.”

“Okay.”Thorne frowned a little still looking worried for james, sulking at being forced not to help. “Welcome.”tony grinned at james, knowing thorne wasn’t happy before smiling a little as he finished filling up the beds. “Here help me.”thorne said smiling a little as she made tony help her get the blanket and sheets settled into place, the woman looking content and happy for the moment.
 
Pepper looked startled. "none? that is just like a man." she scoffed. "help yourself to anything in my closet." she promised, smiling at her. "and don't mind the buzzers. Tony just leaves them in there because they freak Steve out." she promised with a smile. "they're pretty pathetic robots." she admitted with a chuckle. "actually it's more like they're parts of robots." she admitted. "they don't actually do anything, mostly they just bend and twitch." she admitted with a chuckle. "would you like me to get some Pajamas for you?" he asked.

"Sweden has no legs to stand on at all." pepper agreed with a smile as she washed her face free of makeup before heading out to help the others.

"James just grinned back, glad that Tony had stepped in before Thorne had hurt herself. her wounds where still open, but thankfully they where starting to scab. in a few more days they could wrap her arm in salve and gauze to keep any infections out. Pepper helped the make the beds, chuckling as she fluffed the massive pillows. "James? is your arm acting up again?" Steve asked as he came in, carrying all five plates of food like a pro. they where all ready cut up into bite sized pieces, so they could just eat without having to struggle with sharp implements on the inflatable beds. "it's done already." James promised with a smile, helping make the beds up.
 
“Yea just what I was wearing.”Thorne snickered a little before nodding.”Thanks. Steve said I could, but it’s nice knowing I can.”She smiled before laughing, shaking her head. “Why doesn’t that surprise me?”She snickered amused that tony left the parts simply to freak steve out. “Yea, that would be nice.”She smiled a little.

“Yea a bit. But he said it’d be okay.”Thorne said biting her lip swallowing hard to keep from fussing over james like she wanted to/ Smiling as she took a plate of food and settling into one of the one of the beds after changing into the pj’s pepper had grabbed for her, the woman looking better and more relaxed then tony had ever seen her. "Okay, time to start the movie."Tony grinned as he put in the first hobbit, settling back on the bed with a smile.
 
she snorted. "they didn't even let you try to pack your things did they. well at least they got you out of there." she decided. "i don't mind. i have about three thousand clothes." she admitted with a chuckle. "i donate most of my stuff every year to clothing foundations and stuff." she admitted. "i'll let you take whatever you want." she promised. "most of it Tony buys me so i don't think i've even worn over half the stuff i own." she admitted with a grin. "you know, i would have been more shocked if you had been surprised." Pepper admitted with a chuckle.

"Steve nodded. "it always is." he promised her. "there's not much we can do until the pain stops." Steve admitted. "fussing over him just annoys him unfortunately." he admitted with a sigh and a shake of his head. James ate his dinner and then promptly fell asleep halfway into the movie, Steve chuckling as he nudged the other into a more comfortable position and then covered him up with the blankets. soon he was the only one left awake so he tucked them all in and washed the dishes before turning out all the lights. he chuckled as the dogs curled up with Thorne and he snuggled into the bed with James. feeling more content than he had in a very long time.

in the morning the heavy scent of three different kinds of coffee and a light breakfast woke them all up. toast and cereal and some eggs where getting ready. James himself was chewing energetically on a massive pile of Lucky Charms and Steve was working on a bowl of Cocoa Flakes while he watched the eggs cook. "morning Tony, Pepper." "morning Steve." Pepper chirped, wide awake as she poured herself some exotic blend of coffee that was a bit sweet and tasted a little like caramel. Tony got an entire pot of something so black you almost thought it would be Espresso. considering ti was Tony it probably was espresso. "would you like the Arabian, or the Colombian coffee this morning?" Steve asked Thorne and James. James took the dark Colombian, drinking it black while Pepper flavored hers with flavored creamer and sugar while helping herself to some toast an egg and a bowl of chex. "what kind of cereal would you like? they have a bit of everything." Pepper offered, indicating the cupboard which was indeed stuffed with over twenty different kinds of cereal. "did you all sleep well?" James asked curiously. "i had weird dreams." James admitted. "and i think it's one of your faults." he grumbled, making Steve chuckle.
 
"They didn't but it's okay. I don't want any of it anyways really."mostly cause it was what Chris had thought she'd want. More then anything, she wanted to choose her own clothes. Snickering a little as she realized tony was just as weird about buying everything clothes as he was anything else. Smiling as she ate thewoman settled in to relax, falling asleep about the time james did.

In 5he morning the woman looked sleepily mussed, running her fingers through her hair as she joined them in the kitchen."morning."Thorne smiled a little as she settled at the table snickering a little as tony just grunter a greeting as he settled at the table with his espresso."not a morning are you?"Thorne teased looking at tony. "No."the billionaire growled, simply resting as he sipped his drink."Colombian sounds good."Thorne said looking interested as she smiled."lucky charms."she grinned as she set about getting a bowl for herself. "Cap, snowman, what you doing today?"tony muttered stating to wake up more. Counting on pepper to keep Thorne from worrying or wondering what they were up to with a shopping trip.
 
she smiled. "well we'll get you anything you want later." she promised. "Tony will loan you the money and i know Steve will too, and you mustn't feel bad about accepting the money. Tony is so rich he could but a couple dozen countries and still have money left over and Steve never uses his anyway." she admitted with a smile.

Steve chuckled a little and shook his head. "Tony's impossible to wake up in the morning. i'm surprised he's actually awake." Pepper admitted, examining him. "well. maybe he'll go on a run with me this morning." "me and James are going to do a short run with the dogs if you want to join us." Steve offered, Pepper beaming. "that would be excellent. how far?" "mile, maybe two. depends on how well the dogs keep up." Steve admitted with a smile. "want to come with Thorne?" he asked, handing her a cup of coffee and the box of lucky charms, ignoring James mildly possessive grumbling about her stealing his sugar rush. "well, we're going on a short run, and then a longer one. about twenty miles today?" "better make it thirty." James decided. "then we're going to take Thorne shopping for everything she needs. i have students today so i'll be going to the gym at three." Steve explained. he ran a self defense class once a week at the local gym. how to take a punch, how to fight back, how to stand up to bullies, that sort of thing. things kids in the area really needed to know in case they got trapped in the wrong place with the wrong people. "after that, same as always." Steve admitted with a smile. "whatever we feel like really." he admitted. "we do have to stop at the pet store and get supplies. we'll need puppy pads for when the pups are born right? and a very big dog bed. how many puppies is she expecting do you know?" "five." James stated suddenly, patting the dog. "three girls, two boys. one will have a disfigured front paw, but will be very healthy and one will be a runt. he'll need very special care but will grow up to be one of the best racers Shara will ever give birth to." "it's creepy when he does that." Pepper admitted, examining James.
 
Thorne bit her lip a little, not liking it but nodding a little. “Okay.I can do that.”She sighed quietly.

“Morning sex. Worth it.”Tony muttered into his coffee, definitely not truly awake, more like he was just there. “I would to. Want to see how the dogs do.”She smiled a little as shara and chase crowded around at her feet. “No running.”Tony mumbled frownign a little, despite drinking the espresso, it was obvious he wasn’t waking up happily. “Well, after that I meed you over at the tower. Testing out new toys for you two to try out for me..”Tony said in that vague way only pepper and the boys would know he was lying. After all, he usually took great pleasure in describing exactly what he made, so the fact that he hadn’t, meant it was simply a desire to get the boys alone. “Me and Pepper can stop at the pet store when we’re out getting clothes and stuff..”Thorne smiled before opening her mouth to answer, startling a little at james’ prediction, smiling quietly. “It is creepy.”She agreed. Tony snickered a little starting to wake up more. “I want the super dog. I’m naming it Irondog. It would be epic. Pepper, sweetheart, I’ve found our puppy.”He said smiling happily, simply teasing, he’d wait and see what pup fit them best.
 
Pepper snorted. "we did not have morning Sex Tony. we where sleeping in the living room." she pointed out, rolling her eyes. "you can have morning sex after you go jogging with me. you like me when i jog remember?" she teased, kissing his forehead. "fine. it better not involve needles again Tony." Steve warned. "i will rip your spine out through your stomach." "ignore him. he's gory in the mornings." James stated calmly. "okay, well how about you and pepper go shopping and we'll brutally murder Tony for making us toys that scare us?" James offered. "then you and pepper can do all that gross girly stuff you like and me and Steve can play with Tony." he offered, blinking. "creepy?" he asked, his head tilted. "sorry Tony. his name will be Blue, and he'll be going to someone else." James admitted, draining the last of his coffee. "you'll fall in love with another puppy when Blue pisses on you." he admitted, looking amused. Pepper just chuckled. "i can see it." she admitted, finishing off her own cereal and Coffee, heading off to get her workout clothes while Steve did the dishes. "Thorne, let me see your arm." James ordered, grabbing the medical kit and slathering on more burn cream and numbing ointment. "it's scabbing over well. tomorrow we'll wrap it with bandages." James explained. "after that you'll be able to take care of it yourself." he promised. "
