Another Avengers fanfic huh? This time it has chapters though -insert gasp here-

Yeah, I really like these guys especially the science bros. How could you not love the science bros? (Note I say bros not husbands or Stanner, that pairing doesn't work for me)

Yups, anyway, lets get started then. I'm not going to post any chapter unless I have the next one at least planned, if not written. (Yes, I'm working on instinct here and not from a plan.) This does mean I am just as exited as you guys hopefully are for the next chapter whenever I get around to writing it (Of course, if this is posted then it's already written but ignore that for now.) I will be updating this weekly as long as everything goes to plan. Sometime on a Monday. Anyway, without further Ado, let's welcome the new story!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Avengers in any way, shape or form.

"Hold on a second there Fury." Tony said. "Under no circumstances am I allowing two assassins, a god or the fucking super soldier that my dad would never shut up about into my house."
"What about Banner?" Fury asked, curious as to why Tony had missed him.
"I like Banner." Tony said. "Quite a big fan of the Hulk too."
"They're all moving in next month whether you like it or not." Fury told him Tony almost groaned.
"Do they have to?" He asked, well aware he was whining.
"Yes."
"But they hate me." Tony said, "Besides, none of us trust each other."
"That's exactly why I want you all to move in with each other." Fury said. "Besides," he added, "The Helicarriers's getting crowded"
"So you're passing them down to me?!" Tony asked. "That's just unfair." He said to Fury. "Besides, I'm not even an avenger." Fury raised an eyebrow. "I'm a consultant who you happened to need help from." He was saying it to Fury's back though as the man left Stark tower. He sighed and for some reason found himself looking forward to it but if he wanted everything to be perfect if this was not in fact the horrible nightmare he believed it to be. He'd need to get to work fast.

Tony locked himself in his lab for almost a full week, he had been designing the floors that the Avengers would live on. Stark tower, along with the rest of New York was as good as new so they'd be living there. His and Pepper's floor was already done, as was the basement and the lab. He just had to make some adjustments to a few of the other floors to make them more suitable for each Avenger's personal needs. He wasn't usually one for designing much of the interior of his buildings but with some he did so to add a more personal touch. This was just one of those instances. Not that he didn't enjoy it of course.

Bruce's was calm and tranquil, the edges were rounded and Tony worked on the design for a full 24 hours before he decided it was perfect. Natasha's and Clint's were similar to each other but where Clint had an archery area, Natasha had a shooting range. There was a private staircase between the two floors. Thor's had been interesting to design, he studied a little Norse mythology to try and get it perfect and when he was done it gave off the desired 'royal' effect. Steve's had been the hardest of all. Stark decided to base it off of homes from the 40's, adding a little modern flare here and there, there was also a relatively large art room as he remembered his father telling him how much the Captain had liked to draw in his spare time. The shared floor was quite easy in comparison, he made sure there was a small training area and a small shooting range and a pretty big gym. The living room was big but not hi-tech enough to freak Steve out, the kitchen was similar in it's uncharacteristic design from the futurist. He added a few final touches to it, including plenty of vents and high places for Clint, before looking at all the designs and smiling. He couldn't help but be proud of them, he just hoped he could get them built in the three weeks he had left. He was slightly upset that he hadn't been able to make a private lab for Bruce, he just didn't have enough spare floors. He had to keep the business running after all.

A week before the Avengers were set to move in Tony called in on them and Director Fury. De-suiting in the Helicarrier was strange, he had to do it by hand and then he was never quite sure where it was taken which worried him, he didn't like not knowing where his babies were. "You know." He said, approaching Fury. "A month is hardly enough time to get everything ready so that six extremely different people can live in harmony." He thought for a moment. "Make that eight."
"Eight?" Fury asked.
"Jarvis and Pepper." Tony said. Fury would have laughed slightly, if he wasn't Fury, at the fact that Tony saw Jarvis as a person.
"You will be able to though right?" he asked quickly.
"It will be close, I had to make a few adjustments to Bruce's floor when I remembered the possibility of Hulk actually emerging, which I really hope he won't as much as I like the big guy. It's behind schedule but that shouldn't matter, all of their personal floors are done. It's just the shared one left."

Then Natasha entered the room. "Natasha." Tony said in acknowledgement.
"Stark." Natasha responded, slightly annoyed that he had used her first name.
"Is that all Stark?" Fury asked the man.
"Yes, actually." Tony responded. He begun walking through the corridors of the Helicarrier, not quite sure why other than it had been a while since he'd been on the ship. He wondered where his future housemates would be right about now, he was wasting precious time he could have been spending supervising the tower, making sure everything was perfect. After half an hour wandering around on the carrier he called to a random S.H.I.E.L.D. employee, demanding to be taken to his suit. When he got to it he was thankful it was in perfect condition. He put it on quickly, thankful for Jarvis' sudden presence, he never seemed t realize how much he missed him when he was somewhere that Jarvis couldn't go. He walked up to the launch bay for the Quinjets dispatched and flew out, he stalked the ship for a while before realizing he was procrastinating. He headed back to Stark tower even though he was sure Pepper was doing a great job in making sure everything was how Tony wanted it.

When he got back he was relieved to see that nothing had gone wrong and they were still on target. He would have done it all himself if he had the time but just doing the designs was enough for him. He begun to walk around the completed floors, suddenly feeling anxious that they team wouldn't like them. "They'll love them and you know it." Pepper said.
"But what if they don't?" He asked, "What if they think I'm being too sensitive?" He said, referring to Bruce's and Steve's rooms and possibly Thor's.
"They'll like them Tony, trust me." Tony looked at her before smiling.
"Yeah, they'll love them. Nothing to be worried about." he said, realizing he had started to worry her. "I'm going to the lab." He said before disappearing. He emerged from the lab when he heard the news that the main floor was done five days later. He smiled, it truly was perfect. Just how he wanted it. It was simple enough that it didn't look like he had really tried, it took him a long time to perfect that look and man was it worth it. He grabbed a few supplies before going back to the lab. The Avengers were due to arrive in two days and Tony really didn't want to greet them, even after the amount of work he'd put on to make sure they were comfortable.

"Sir." Jarvis said when the Avengers arrived, right on time. "They're here." Tony tensed.
"Lock down the workshop, no one is to come in okay J?"
"Yes sir." Jarvis said and then Tony tried his hardest not to think about what they thought he was doing they probably thought he forgot. 'good.' He thought to himself, 'better they think that than know I'm hiding.'
"I'm gonna need to see them sooner or later aren't I?" He asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Yes sir."
"Has Pep requested my whereabouts yet?" He asked.
"Miss Potts knows you may be anxious of the situation." Jarvis said. "She knows you'll come when you're ready."
"And the others?"
"They notice your lack of presence sir." Jarvis told him.
"Time to make an entrance then.. Let's just hope they don't talk about New York too much and if they bring up the wormhole I'm going to need to leave. Quickly."
"Understood sir." Tony put on a fake smile and placed sensor bands around his wrists, just in case. He left the lift and went to the main room, knowing Pepper would take them there first.

Tony entered the room and stepped in place next to Pepper. "Sorry I'm late." He said. "That's not very polite of me, I'll take it from here Pep." He looked around at the small group. "This is the main floor, the one where meetings between all of us will be, the one where the kitchen is," He said, "although there is a smaller one on each of your floors." He added. "There is also a shooting range over there somewhere and a training room next to it." He gestured in the direction. "Moving on, he said, really hoping the tour would end. He went to the lift, followed by the others. It stopped at a floor that was calm. "Dr. Banner." He said, "this is your floor, explore it and feel free to tell Jarvis if you want any changes." He paused for a moment. "I tried to design it as calm as possible." Bruce looked dumbstruck. "Banner." Tony called. "I need to get a move on here, I'm working on something important right now." Bruce nodded and put his bags down, stepping into a room. The next floor was Thor's. "Thor, this is yours. You have no idea how much Norse mythology I had to read till I got it perfect." He looked at the god. "Also, the kitchen cupboards are full of pop tarts and other sweet things I thought you might like."

"Thank you Metal Man."
"It's Tony." Tony said as the lift doors shut. "Agent Barton." Tony said, "I wasn't sure what sort of thing you'd like, yours and Agent Romanova's are pretty similar but you have an archery area instead of a shooting range." Clint nodded and Natasha was relieved that Tony hadn't used her real name again.
"Thanks."
"No problem." Tony said. "Oh, and before I forget, there's a staircase linking your floor to Romanova's next to the training area." Natasha smiled slightly and Clint couldn't help but smile too. The lift door closed and they went down another floor. "Romanova, I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain this after Clint's." Natasha nodded and left the lift with her few belongings. "And lastly, Rogers." Tony said. when the lift doors opened Steve was brought back int the 1940's. "I didn't want to do anything too unfamiliar for you but there are a few modern touches thrown in. There are also a few history books that should give you the basic picture of what you missed. Tell Jarvis if you want any more detailed ones." And then Tony went back to the lift and keyed the special combination that took him to his lab/workshop.

He kept himself secluded in there for the best part of the first week. Eventually he had to surface, at least to restock his supplies although he knew he'd probably end up sleeping too. He had hoped it was late at night or early morning so he wouldn't have to run into anyone but he was never that lucky. As it turned out they were waiting for him to make an appearance. He had to walk through the living room to get to the kitchen so avoiding them wasn't an option. "Hey.." He said awkwardly.
"Stark." Steve said.
"I trust you're all settling in well." Tony said, knowing he'd actually have to talk to them. But then he could always collapse from exhaustion instead. "J, how long has it been now?" He asked suddenly as the thought came to him. Jarvis knew what the question was.
"Five days sir." The AI responded. Tony nodded. He was never normally awake for that long, usually giving into sleep after three or occasionally four.
"Right.." He said slowly, looking around the room at the heroes.
"Five days since what?" Bruce asked.
"That." Tony said, snapping his head to face Bruce. "Is none of your business." He sighed. "I'm gonna need to go now though." He turned to the lift, and begun walking towards it, he'd restock when he woke up.
"No." Natasha said firmly. "You're not going anywhere." Tony turned, a slightly annoyed expression on his face.
"And you're gonna keep me here are you?" He asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes." She said.
"I haven't got time for this." Tony said, he was working on a set of upgrades to the Iron Man suit and really wanted to get them done before the next mission. He also needed to take time out to sleep as if he didn't do that soon he knew he would collapse.

Pepper walked into the room and saw Tony, to everyone else he just looked like Tony but she could tell he hadn't had sleep for longer than usual. "Jarvis." She said.
"Yes Miss Potts?" He asked.
"How long has it been since he.." She asked, letting the question trail off.
"Five days." Jarvis said. "I strongly suggest you take him to his room." He added.
"I was planning to." She told the AI. "Sorry but I need to steal Tony for a moment." She told the Avengers. She walked to where Tony was glaring at her and grabbed his arm. The pair disappeared into the lift.

"Anyone have a clue what five days means?" Clint asked.
"Jarvis?" Natasha asked.
"Yes Agent Romanova?" The AI responded.
"What had been five days?" She asked.
"Sir doesn't like me sharing that sort of information with you." Jarvis said.
"No help there then." Steve said.
"No." Bruce said. "No." He said again, more firmly. "That means it's about his personal matters."
"How'd you get that?" Steve asked.
"Well, if Jarvis isn't allowed to share it it must be something like that." He said. "Stark wouldn't make Jarvis wouldn't keep information about something trivial."
"So what is it?" Natasha asked.
"I'm not sure." Bruce said. "It could be how long since he ate or slept or anything else like that."
"Right." Natasha said. "So he probably has little to no sense of self preservation then." She had meant it as a joke but they all suspected it was true.

Ebil here, hey guys!

I hope you liked that and I know this sounds needy and stuff but it really helps my motivation when you guys review my stories. What do you to five as a ransom for the next chapter? Is that mean? It's probably mean holding chapters ransom and I haven't done it before but I really need to know that people like this one before I continue it, I couldn't stand it if it didn't get any love at all.

So yeah, 5 reviews okay?! I know you guys can do it!

Please don't hesitate to suggest things, I love suggestions!

Till next time!
