"You try stopping Tony Stark from drinking it's his drink of choice." Aurora sighed. "Bruce is with him so he'll be fine for the most part.'' she shrugged a little eating. As she helped do the dishes she hard laughter as well as Bruce trying to stop Tony from doing something she jumped as the door was blasted in and groaned. "Note to self Bruce is no help." she grimaced and turned blinking as Tony entered with a grin on his face. She looked to Bruce who gave her a sheepish grin "You are no help." she sighed.

"He's not a wet blanket like the rest of you." Tony walked over to you. "You are the worst...well no Steve is the worst but your a close second." he leaned close and she gave him a warning look. "Oh don't give me that look I have been drunker." he chuckled. "Tony." Aurora warned as he inched closer. "Oh please you can't resist me. No girl can." he chuckled. "Nat can." Aurora smirked. "I'm pretty sure she swings for the same team if you know what I mean." Tony chuckled as Aurora blushed a little. "We talked about this Tony." she sighed. "Instead of being drunk talk it out with me or someone." "I would rather do something else." Tony smirked leaning down face hovering just inches from hers. "Anthony Stark back off." Aurora growled backing up. "You need to lighten up." Tony sighed he placed his hands on the counter trapping her there. "And you need to stop this!" Aurora pushed him hard sighing when Bruce spoke up. "Tony let Aurora go." his voice was low a warning. "Don't you start being a wet blanket Bruce." Tony pouted. "I just want a kiss." "I said to back off!" Aurora growled looking to the others for help not wanting Bruce to get involved just in case Tony decided to make this into more of a scene.

Steve came over and yanked Tony away. "That's enough. She told you to back off." He said warningly.

Looking around, Gemini could sense tension getting worse. If she didn't do something, a fight would definitely happen, especially if Steve kept getting involved. Sighing, she stepped forward, Grabbed Tony's hand, and dragged him outside with more strength than a girl her size should have had. "You come with me."

Steve blinked. He had been prepared to fight. "What is she going to go?" He asked no one in particular. Getting no answer, he looked at Aurora. "Are you alright?" He asked.

Outside, Gemini turned on Tony. Before he could speak, she shoved him against a wall and kissed him, hard. "I've wanted to do that since yesterday. Now, if you have to be a pig, at least pick a girl who won't burn your face off."

Tony was all for getting into it with Steve but found himself getting pulled away. When she kissed him he grinned at her. "Well sweet cheeks I didn't know you liked me...can't say I blame you though." He chuckled then smirked. "First time a girl has surprised kissed me I give you points but remember you asked for it." He gave her another grin then kissed her hand slipping into her hair while one strayed to her waist. He easy turned them around so that she was pressed against the wall, he deepened the kiss and while he tastes like alcohol it was also desperation and fear.

Aurora took a breath then gave Steve a shaky smile brushing herself off. "I'm fine nothing I haven't seen before." By the shake in her voice it had made her more worked up then she wanted to say. "Thank you Steve for saving me." She swallowed. "He's usually not like that." She shivered not sure what Tony would have done if Steve hadn't pulled him off.

Steve nodded. "No, it was nothing. And you're right, I've never seen him like that before." He said. "Here- you should sit down." He gently guided Aurora to a chair so she could sit and calm down.

Gemini rolled her eyes at the nickname, but let him do what he wanted. Once he was kissing her, she closed her eyes and focused her energy. Pulling him close, she used her power to clear his mind and put his at ease, at least temporarily. She couldn't fix him- that was beyond her abilities- but with skin contact and concentration she could do this much. "You are a better person than this." She whispered to him. Yes, she admitted she wanted to kiss him. But not like this. She wanted him to like her naturally.

"You don't know what kind of person I am. I break girls hearts just for kicks." Tony snorted a pulled away releasing her. "Pepper was right I am who I am I shouldn't fight it." He sighed and ran a hand threw his already messy hair. He looked like he wanted to start crying but just smiled "I need a nap." He wondered inside and locked himself in the lap changing the code so no one not even Bruce could get in.

Aurora sat down taking deep breaths fighting the urge to hug Steve. She glanced I as Tony walked back feeling herself tense despite herself. "Tony?" She blinked as he vanished into the lab and sighed. "Why are some men so complicated?"

Gemini stayed backed up against the wall and closed her eyes, sighing. She wasn't sure if it was his emotions she was feeling or her own, but she felt helpless and wanted to cry. She slid down to sit on the ground, letting her head bump against the wall. "I am so stupid..." She said.

Steve looked up. He wanted to ask what happened, why Tony looked so upset, where Gemini was, but the man disappeared too quickly. "Did they fight? What in the world happened?" He wondered out loud.

"I'm not sure." Aurora stood and went to the door knocking gentle on the lab door frowning when she heard a whirling noise. "HIT THE DECK!" she threw herself out of the way just as something blasted the door apart.

Tony stood screwdriver in one hand while the other held down his one of the arms to his suit he was blinking looking confused. "That was not suppose to happen." he hurried out looking down at Aurora who looked surprised. "You alright?" he still had a confused look on his face which deepened when Aurora started to laugh.

Steve rushed over to help Aurora up, just as puzzled by the laughing as everyone else. "Did she hit her head?" He asked, checking her over.

Hearing a loud crash from inside, Gemini stood up and went in. She found confusion and a laughing Aurora. "What...in the world...happened?"

"The look on your face." Aurora laughed glad that Nat at least was smirking along. "It was so priceless." she was struggling to breath threw her laughter.

Tony blinked then chuckled "Was my face really that funny?" he smiled as Aurora nodded laughing to hard to respond. "Your something else." he shook his head.

Steve sighed, relieved that Aurora seemed okay. The laughter managed to diffuse some of the tension in the room, too, which he silently thanked her for.

Gemini smirked a little. "Of course I missed it. Fun stuff always happens when I'm not there to see it." She said, pretending to sulk. In truth, she was glad that everyone seemed okay...for the moment.

"Oh it was hilarious. Usually I would hit you for playing with your suit when there are others around but that face saved it. So help you if your turn that into something gross." Aurora glared at him.

"I don't like to play with my suit unless there's a girl involved." Tony grinned dodging Aurora's slap laughing. "Aurora...I'm sorry about before I was drunk and...I'm stupid." he sighed glancing at Gemini smirking. "I enjoyed kissing you so I'm not to sure I'm sorry."

Gemini blushed slightly. "Nothing to be sorry about. I kissed you first." She said, looking anywhere but at him. What she didn't say was that it had been her first kiss ever.

"You kissed him?" Steve blinked, then sighed. He wasn't really all that surprised. "Well, whatever. It doesn't matter now, as long as everyone's okay."

"I think we'll be just fine." Aurora stood and examined the lab door with Bruce. "We'll need to get a steal one." she chuckled. "At least you know the reactor works."

Tony snorted a little. "That was not the point but yes I know it works." he smirked a little then grinned. "I have a crazy idea lets play spin the bottle or seven minutes. I will get boring here while we finalize the plans."

"Why would anyone spin a bottle for seven minutes?" Gemini asked, clearly unfamiliar with the games. "Do people find it fun?"

Steve coughed and looked away. He knew the games well enough, but he didn't want to be the one to explain them.

"There two different games. Spin the bottle you sit in a circle and spin a bottle the spinner has to kiss whoever it lands on. As for Seven minutes of heaven us boys will draw something but it in a hat a girl choose a card and they go into a closet for seven minutes." Tony was laughing a little.

Aurora was a soft pink color looking everywhere but at Steve unable to keep from imagining what kissing him would be like.

Gemini considered this. "Okay, I'm game." She said. Glancing at Aurora, she smirked, noticing her blush. "I say we do the seven minutes one." She said.

Steve sighed. He had kind of hoped someone would vote against this idea, but no such luck. "Alright. Fine. Score one for peer pressure..." He said.

Bruce bowed out of the game fearing he would Hulk out. Nat decided to play along "alright boys put something in the hat. Bruce since you aren't playing you get to hold the hat of mysteries." She chuckled turning so she could see what the boys put in. Clint placed a plastic arrow tip in while Tony put in a small piece of the door he had charred as for Thor he took a flower from the gardens.

It took Steve a minute to figure out what he was going to put in. Finally, coming up with nothing else, he chose a silver dollar he happened to have.

Gemini sat down and waited, curious about this game. She wanted to see Aurora go in with Steve, just because the teasing would be fun. As for herself...she glanced at Tony and away again.

Bruce shook the hat sighing a little bit. "Who wants to go first?" Nat stepped up and stuck her hand in fishing around. "A piece of the door...really Tony." Tony shrugged "it could have been worse...please don't kill me." He followed her into the closet seven minutes later they came out just talking. "Aurora you next." She pushed the girl forward.

Aurora grumbled and dug around blinking at the flower she pulled out. Thor smiled and held the door open for her. After the seven minutes Aurora came out rubbing her temples "never again will I try to explain something to you." She sighed then looked at Gemini. "You're next."

Gemini watched with interest as the game proceeded. When Aurora came out with Thor, she started giggling, imagining what that conversation had been like. Reaching into the hat, Gemini pulled out a plastic arrowhead. "I got this thing." She had never seen an arrow before.

Steve watched with mild interest as first Nat and then Aurora took their turns. He found himself feeling strangely upset when Aurora went into the closet with Thor, and it took him a moment to realize the feeling was jealousy. He was relieved when they came out and Aurora was agitated.

"It's an arrowhead." Clint smiled letting her go into the closet first. For the next seven minutes he explained all he knew about bows and arrows. Tony opened the door for them smirking as Clint stepped out "I'll teach you to shoot if you want." he offered.

Gemini nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, I would like that, thank you." She said politely, going to sit back down. "There are more boys than girls here..." She noticed.

Steve raised an eyebrow. "Yes, that is the case." He said, slightly amused at the fox girl's naiveté. "Which means you girls will have to pick again."

Lori chuckled at the assessment. "I'll go first this time." she pulled out the silver dollar blinking a soft blush on her face. "Looks like I got you Cap." she smiled at him. "Shall we?" she slipped into the closet.

"Just remember there's Seven minutes so don't do anything to frisky." Tony smirked at Steve.

Steve blushed, suppressing the urge to hit Tony. He stood up and headed for the closet. Once inside, the door closed behind him, and he was in the dark. "Aurora...?"

Gemini kept herself in check until they were both in the closet, Once the closet door was closed, she broke out into giggles. "I can't wait to see their faces when they come out!"

"Hold on." Aurora created a little fire bird which flew up above there heads resting on the coat at rack. "There." She smiled at him and blushed. "What do you want to talk about?"
