A- Note: This is going to have no plot. Like seriously no plot. I just wanted to write Avenger fluff. This chapter is just Tony convincing everyone to come to the mansion and other chapters will involve various moments with the team getting to know each other, with Tony/Steve developing throughout. It's my first time writing for these characters so bear with me while I get the feel for them.

When Tony Stark has an idea, 99 percent of the time that idea will become reality. (Not counting the time he was six and he started collecting reptiles for their DNA in the hope of creating a dragon.) So when Tony Stark has an idea, all of his time, free or not, will go into it. Despite whatever obstacles he has to face.

"Tony will you please just listen to me?" Pepper shouted as she followed her boss in circles round his office. "It's just not practical! You're spending way more money than is coming in at the minute due to this 'Avenger' business and you've just spent millions on building your tower-"

"Our tower." Tony replied continuing to pace round the office.

"Fine our tower but Tony... TONY WILL YOU STOP!"

He stopped and turned to face Pepper, his head hung low as a dog would to it's owner.

"You're going to go through with this no matter what I say aren't you?"

"It's what best for the team Pep... so that we can really be a team." He'd brought his head up now, staring down at her with his brown childlike eyes, the ones he knew could win him any argument with her.

"You're not going to let this drop are you?" Tony shook his head. " Fine, I'll start setting up the arrangements then." She sighed, but returned Tony's smile. "Will that be all Mr Stark?"

"For now, yes. Now go do whatever it is you do and then enjoy your weekend off." He was sat at his desk now, fingers flying frantically at the computer screens.

"There's never a weekend off for your employees Tony" Pepper smirked as she turned towards the door.

A fake gasp of hurt followed her out.

Fury was the next obstacle he had to face.

"I told you already Stark. Hawkeye and Widow have their own lives out of SHIELD. When we need them we call them in and then they may as well stay at HQ for briefings." Fury said without even turning to recognise Tony had entered the room.

"Jeez man, is that what happened to your eye? You put it at the back of your head?... Anyway you just said the main point right there buddy, they have their own lives. This means that the rest of the team hardly see them except for on missions and even then we don't exactly have time for bonding do we?" Tony was in front of Fury now, forcing the other man to look directly at him. "Listen, I'm doing this for the good of the team, I actually thought of all people, except for maybe Steve, you'd be the one most up for this."

Fury was about to object when Clint and Natasha appeared out of thin air.

"Personally I'm up for the idea. Free accommodation though yeah?" Clint was smiling at Tony which the other man returned.

"Naturally, and you'll have a training room, enough bedrooms for you all to have two each if you want, a lounge for all of us, a spa, some-" Tony was cut short by a soft gasp from Natasha.

"Spa? Oh yes, I'm in. When will it be ready?"

"Well the building is one of my old family homes so all it needs is some renovating and then... It's all ours." Tony did some quick calculations in his head. "So... A month perhaps?Two tops."

"Well we'll see you then, hopefully not before if we can help it, come on Nat."

Fury and Tony watched as the two assassins left as normal people would, through the doors.

"Right Stark, I'm gonna give you clearance for this, however, any sign of trouble and I'm pulling them out of there. I need my two best agents alive and sane."

"Don't worry Pops" Tony said whilst making his way over to the door to follow the others. "I'll look after your children for you."

"I'm more worried about you Stark. Sure you can handle living with five other people who actually breathe." Fury smiled despite his words.

"If I didn't know you any better i'd think you were making a joke about my robots there Fury."

"Well then, it's a good job you do know me better."

Tony smirked to himself as he watched Fury go back to whatever the hell it was he did. He'd never asked and he wasn't sure he wanted to.

"You know, the man aint actually too bad once you get to know him." He thought as he made his way out to tackle his next challenge.

"Bruce please just think about it!"

"Tony, in what world would this be a good idea?" Bruce watched as Tony broke into a huge smile.

"My world, which is exactly why it WILL work. All my plans work in my world."

"Listen, I have no objections to this, in fact it would be nice to live somewhere with clean water..."

"Then what are we having this talk for? You'll have your own lab for all your genetic'y science'y shit and then we can-"

"Tony... like I said. It's not me that's objecting. It's the other guy i'm worried about."

"Bruce, trust me. You and the Hulk will be fine. I promise you. Plus there's enough space that you don't even have to interact with anyone else if you don't actually want to. Hell, I know somedays i'll be avoiding all human interactions and-" A deep laugh stopped his trail of thought.

"OK Tony, i'm going to save your breath and stop you before you go off on one. Call me when it's ready and i'll be over. However don't blame me if I cost you millions in repair work." Bruce turned back to his near hand-made computer, finishing off whatever he had been working on before Iron Man had come crashing through the door.

"Knew I could count on you big guy." Tony parted with these words before he flew off into the night sky.

After hours of searching SHIELD records for information of activity from Asgard, Tony finally found Thor on the edge of a building in New York.

"Yo Thor, I was wondering if you'd be up for-"

"NOT NOW MAN OF IRON. I AM DEBATING AS TO WHICH OF THESE EATING PLACES I WILL TAKE JANE."

Tony looked over the God of Thunder's shoulder to look at the mass of flyers in each of his huge hands.

"Want a tip mate? She won't like Burger King."

"BUT..." Thor seemed to notice Tony's recoil even through the armour at the boom of his voice. "But you are presented with golden crowns there. What lady doth not want to be treated like royalty?"

"The sort of lady that knows what goes into their burgers, trust me, take her to... oh that one, nice little french restaurant. Don't bother about reservations." Tony took one look at Thor's face and decided to skip over introducing him to the world of having to book forthings. "Right, just walk in with Jane, tell the person that asks for your name that you're there under Tony Stark and you'll be fine."

"Many thanks Tony. Now, what is it you came to discuss?"

Tony has learnt lately that the best way to talk to Thor is to be as blunt as possible.

"Just came to ask if you'd like to come and live with me and the rest of the gang?"

Thor's reply was instant.

"I would very much like to have a place to call home on Midgard, yes."

Tony smiled and clapped the God on the shoulder

"Good on you mate, I'll let you know when it's ready. Have fun on your date."

"Farewell friend!"

"One more and then we can finally get cracking."

Tony swore he'd worked more today than he had in his entire life.

"Really Steve? You've got access to SHIELD's training rooms and you settle for this dingy gym?"

Tony ran a finger over a counter and winced at the dust that come off.

"And a good evening to you too Tony." Steve replied, punching the bag a couple more times before stopping to take off the tapes around his hands. "I was just finishing up here, did you want me for something that involves me going outside? Because honestly at the moment I just want to shower and then go to bed." Steve yawned, furthering his point.

"Oh don't worry I won't keep you, just here to let you know that you'll be moving out of your rundown apartment and into my amazingly perfect in every way mansion. Anyway, see you when it's done."

"WOW, woah wait, TONY!" Steve had to jog to catch Tony before he had a chance to leave the gym. "Want to explain that to me again?"

"Right, you, along with the other four members of our team, are going to live in my house so that we can bond and get to really connect as a team. I guessed you'd be alright with this saying as you've been trying to get us to go on all those team-building courses..."

Steve smiled at Tony's face as he grimaced at the reminder of what those courses involved. "I am definitely ok with this Tony. However there is a lot we need to talk about and we're going to have to make sure everyone knows what they're getting into by moving in together and-"

Tony laughed, watching Steve's fatigue steadily fade away as he moved into 'man with a plan' mode.

"Cap, listen, go shower and change. I'll wait out front for you and then we'll go discuss everything you want to talk about over food. Maybe Italian. But first you have to shower, now go."

"Thanks Tony." Steve tapped Tony on the shoulder before giving him a huge grin that tugged something in the shorter man's stomach.

"No problem Steve." Tony replied, returning the grin before heading out to wait with Happy in his car.

"Nice job Tony. For once you managed to achieve what you set out to do without something metaphorically and literally blowing up in your face."

And if someone were to ask why Tony Stark was humming to himself as he made his way to the car... well, for once he could say it was because he was happy.
