''Pepper will you please stop pacing your making me nervous.'' I sighed my wing twitched emphasising my point. 
                          
''Something's wrong Tony sounded off on the phone and I saw the footage Coulson passed on to you,'' she continued to pace as she spoke. 
                          
''I can't stand this much longer I'm going to fly around the perimeter to see if I can spot them yet,'' I formed my uniform and headed for the lift. Jarvis had been out of commission for some reason when we commenced our stay.
                          
Once I was on the roof I checked my phone for meteorological data before I took off, in the air I used my telekinesis to feel for anomalies in the cloud cover that had become our sanctuary. In the distance I felt a shift and a warm trail of air which was unique to a quinjet. 
                          
I re-joined Pepper in the reception hall returning to casual attire. ''There's a quinjet inbound.''

It didn't arrive for another fifteen minutes, Pepper spent the whole time pacing. 
                          
''Tony!'' she ran into his arms as soon as the lift doors opened, he caught her just in time wrapping his arms around her as tight as possible. He winked at me over his shoulder and I winked back, we'd have plenty of time to talk later on it seemed to say.
                          
Meanwhile I looked around for Steve, I headed out to the balcony and saw him landing with the aid of a parachute on the beach. I jumped off spreading my wings and landed beside him in the sand as he packed up his the 'chute. 
                          
''Miss me?'' He asked with a smirk on his face. I pulled off his mask and cupped his cheek in my hand, my breathing heavy. He pulled me in by the waist and kissed me. We only stepped apart when a quinjet flew overhead. Steve saluted before explaining, ''Bucky's heading back to New York by quinjet hence my parachute.''
                          
''I'm just glad the three of you made it back in one piece.'' I sighed rested my head on his chest. ''We should head inside, you'll probably want a shower and some food?'' 
                          
''Yes please and then I'm all yours,'' He smiled putting an arm around my shoulders as we walked back inside Tony's holiday home.

We sat at the table eating bacon butties while we discussed what had happened, 
                          
''So the news was right you guys really dropped a city?'' I asked Steve sceptically once he'd finished narrating the events since I'd last seen him. 
                          
''It was either the city or the Earth, it was a tough call. Ultron put us between a rock and a hard place, but the whole thing could have been avoided if Stark'd just shared his intensions with the group.'' Steve clarified but by the use of Tony's last name even a blind man could see there was a new tension between the two of them. 
                          
''Well some people say 'It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission', but I see your point.'' I added the last part on as he shot me a look. ''I'm Switzerland here, I'm trying my best not to take sides Steve.''
                          
''Sometimes that isn't an option and you have no choice but to choose your side.''
