Everyone was laughing hysterically at the young man, watching him bend his arm on his hip then lifting the other just to head level. Clint nearly fell out of his chair, Tasha tried hiding her laughter behind her glass, Bruce tried to merge into the corner her was in, Thor just kept cheering him on and Toni joined her father in merry laughter. When he jumped onto the table, Thor steadied it with his god-like strength while the others cheered him on,
"Yes! Take it off!!" Clint hollared, unable to stand straight anymore, Toni let out a louder bark of laughter as Venser answered Clint's call with a toss of his belt.
Everything went into a full chaotic stand still as Venser lost balance and crashed down. He was so intoxicated, his sense of balance was ruined, not even his powers of magnetism could correct him as he took someone with him, knocking the table over, out of Thor's grip and sent drinks and food flying. When the chaos cleared, Venser seemed to have had his fall broken by something soft and warm. There was a collection of gasps before he would raise his head and see he landed face first in Antoniette Stark's plush bosom and had knocked her unconscious after having her head her head hard on a table behind her, which was now busted and overturned.

Wow, whatever he landed on felt nice enough to sleep on. He was halfway tempted to do just that, but he noticed that these 'squishy pillows' were brightly lit by an arc reactor. He jolted from where he lay, and saw that he was indeed on top of Stark's own daughter. Oh dear.
He politely got himself off, and Stark was already on the phone with SHIELD agents, who rushed in with a stretcher. After the hit her head took, he didn't want to take any chances, but thankfully her room was fashioned for medical emergencies. Clint and Thor were still hanging on each other, laughing as hard as they ever have, but otherwise everyone else was about as sober as Bruce at this point, including the almost naked Venser. He went and scooped up his clothes, trying not to pay too much mind to the icy daggers Tony was shooting him with in his stare.
"I'm sorry.....it was accident...."
A few hours later, Venser sneaked his way into Nettie's room. It seemed that she just bumped her head, and thankfully received no damage to her neck. He still had to apologize to her though, and he sat by her bed, waiting for her to wake up.

"Dad catches you in here... he'll use you for target practice..." Toni had heard someone come in her room, even the sound was painful to hear. The blow she took to the head had disrupted her central nervous system, so all of her senses were amplified temporarily. Hearing and sight were especially painful, hence why she remained in her room with the lights dimmed as low as the glow of her reactor. A small wet cloth laid across her forehead to dull any ache she would have. But it did little. When she heard someone come in, she figured it was either her dad, Steve, or Venser. Even Jarvis had been turned off in her room to not disrupt her sleep. She opened her eyes and turned to him as he sat down. He had a small smile on his face at her attempt at a serious joke. Indeed, Venser was in some trouble with her dad, but only just. Venser being in her room was no-man's land for anyone.
He was dressed down in what she assumed where hand outs from Clint once again as he wore a baggy white t-shirt and grey sweat pants, probably his night attire until he got more clothes. In the light of her reactor, only her blue eye was illuminated by its light, while her brown eye was as dark as night in contrast. She smirked as he rubbed his head, he must have been here to apologize for the fall they took.

"Well, at least I'll be warmed up for it." he smirked, taking a seat at her bedside. He rested a hand on her hand, resting at her side and mingling fingers with her. It was hard to keep eye contact with her for very long. After all, he only just realized where he was rather impetuously storming into just to apologize, but he just felt it had to be now.
"I'm sorry, Toni. Because of me, a perfectly good dinner date was busted, and the back of your head, well....I'm just glad it wasn't as bad as it looked. I'm really really sorry...."
He wondered if he should just leave at this point. She was probably not in the mood to see anyone, least of all him.

Toni smiled, the left corner of her lip curling into a trademark Stark smile. One more thing that seem to pass down the bloodline. She closed her eyes and hummed,
"Don't worry about it. I've taken more rougher tumbles than that... My head will heal. And so will our pride." She said and squeezed his fingers reassuringly. She was almost sure her dad yelled at him.
She knew with her coming into Tony's life, he almost did a complete personality change. He wasn't as reckless and such as he had been in the past. He actually cared about what was posted on tabloids, how others viewed him in certain aspects and did less partying than before. Most likely he wanted to be a good man in his daughter's life. But he was still Tony Stark; genius, playboy and philanderer. And Toni was very much like him, she just exercised discretion more so.
Toni turned back to Venser,
"Did you have fun at least... it has been a while since we all took time to have dinner together..." She couldn't help but notice how bright his hair looked in the light of her reactor. The blonde locks captured the blue glow and it danced through the tresses like diamonds. She turned her head more, watching the light, she pulled her fingers out of his hand and ran her fingers through his hair, not even aware of what she was doing.

Venser wasn't sure if Nettie was just trying to help comfort him or if she just really enjoyed teasing him, but her hand released his and started running her fingers through his hair. His maroon gaze slowly fixed itself on the young lady,She was just wearing a black tank top, her cleavage almost obstructing the light from the reactor in her chest. Her lips parted in a pleased smile, and he scooted himself closer, touching foreheads with her as he slid his hands around her waist.
Their breathing almost came to a standstill, as they both seemed to realize just what they were doing with each other. Her curves felt so good to run his fingers upon, and he felt himself wanting to feel those plush lips of hers parting to his. He wrapped his arms tighter around her, and did just that, feeling her tongue slide mutually to his. The heat of her arc reactor warmed his chest, and the intoxicating scent of her skin made Venser kiss Nettie even deeper.

If Toni was any other woman, she might have blushed and pushed Venser away. But she wasn't. She welcomed a man's touch if he met her preferences. And Venser was a definite match. As painful as it might have been to be doing something like this, she wasn't gonna turn it away either. When his lips touched hers, it was hesitant at first, as if he was scared she would break upon the mere brush of his lips. But upon realizing she welcomed the kiss, by tightening her fingers through his hair, he pressed against her more.
His lips soaked her dry lips with his saliva as they moved over hers. She wrapped one arm around his shoulder and pulled herself up into his body, curling her head towards her shoulder as she moved to get a better angle so she could open her lips to his and meet his tongue. He tasted like spice, what kind she couldn't put her finger on, but it made her tongue sting with the zingy burn. It was as delicious as the scent radiating off his skin. Her arc reactor made the tissue around it ache as he pressed into her, making her let out a small whimper.

(Since we don't want to offend the puritans here, we'll skip to next morning.)
It was 8:11 AM, and Venser was -not- inclined to get up after what transpired in the last 6 hours or so. However, he didn't feel like becoming target practice for the Elder Stark, so he decided to get up and get a shower in his own room. Truth be told he wanted to come out with the whole affair, but he decided to just leave that at Toni's discretion.
Stepping out from a 15 minute shower, he looked in the mirror with a towel around his shoulders, brushing his teeth. He couldn't help but grin as he finished up and got dressed. Jarvis beamed up a screen in front of Venser, who flinched a bit.
"Good morning, young sir. Shall I give you anything special for breakfast?"
"Oh...." Venser paused, thinking a moment. "I guess just an egg and bacon sandwich, on honeywheat toast."

Toni felt Venser get out of bed but wasn't too inclined to stop him, let alone move. Who gets up at 8 AM she wondered. She rolled over onto her stomach and hugged the pillow he had used, it smelled like him, making her smile. Last night was so wonderful... he was a good lover... not too gentle but not to rough... she giggled girlishly as her mind replayed the events. She let out a yawn and stretched, her sheet coming off her exposed chest to reveal little kiss marks from last night. She smirked,
"Better cover these up..." she grabbed the sheet and rolled back over onto her side, curling the blanket around herself as she curled up into a ball. JARVIS was programmed to never disturb her before noon, so she knew it wouldn't. But she could hear it's voice in the bathroom. She briefly wondered if Venser was gonna come back to lay with her, go out and tell the world he slept with the billionaire heiress, or maybe even attempt a one on one with her old man. But then she wondered, what did this make them now? Sure she liked Venser alot, and saw potential in a relationship... but was that even appropriate right now? Did he even feel ready to attempt to date a Stark? Face the media and tabloids and the never ending snide remarks from her dad?
Guess time would tell...

Descending the elevator to the main floor, Venser came out dressed in comfortable fall wear, a white long sleeve beneath a black t-shirt and some jeans. It was close to noon, and he wondered where everyone was at. He passed by Steve Rogers, who was pummeling the hell out of an almost pitiable sandbag in one of Tony's many gyms. Tony himself was clowning around with Bruce, though it almost looked like a child smacking his babysitter from afar with rubber bands. He chuckled a bit, it seemed like those two were really good pals.
Thor was in the cafeteria, waving a huge freaking chalice of Asgardian mead in hand, weaving one of his many epic fables for employees who were probably very late getting back from lunch. The guy was garish as a rockstar, but had a more pure look about him than typical celebrities. Thor paused and greeted him with a broad grin.
"Ah, Venser. You're just in time, I was about to tell everyone about how I and the Warriors Three smashed the hundred-headed serpent into oblivion!' to tip off his exclamation, the ill-fated chalice Thor held was slammed to the floor. The janitor around the corner rolled his eyes and grabbed his cart for the clean-up. Venser couldn't help but smirk; he wondered if Michael Bay was going to catch wind of one of these fables, someday. He pulled out a chair and sat with it in front of him, listening to Thor's yarn. this would certainly be interesting, till he found out where everyone else was.

The lock on JARVIS was removed upon the appointed time. A soft but firm alarm went off as the curtains lifted, letting the sun in,
"Good Afternoon Ms. Stark, it is 1:20 PM, and it is currently 75 degrees out." the AI's voice rung in her ears. Despite her healing, her head still hurt, so the voice was double annoying today. But Toni lifted herself out of bed, adjusting her reactor and went to shower and dress.
She made her way down to her father's workshop, and found him picking on poor ol Bruce.
"Dad... please... act your age... FOR ONCE?" She asked and approached the two scientists.
"Aw come on Nettie, if you can't have fun in the work place, what's the point?" Tony asked with a shrug, spinning in his chair,
"The point is I don't feel like remodeling this entire floor because the Hulk got tired of your pranks... no offense Bruce."
"None taken... but as I've said before, I can handle pointy things... or, rubber things..." the doctor stuttered as he rose to greet the younger Stark. Toni looked up at Bruce with a smile,
"Any luck getting a lock on the Pheonix's signature?" she asked, looking between the two.
"Nada, seems each fragment has it's own unique signature that changes whenever the user unleashes the force. So there's no way to track them right now..." Bruce said,
"I even had JARVIS hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s satelite for the gamma reader, but it still turned up zilch... whatever energy the force emits, its not heat, gamma, cosmic or nuclear... we're in the blind as usual..." Tony said, turning his screen around to show his daughter there were zero readings,
"What about echo-gamma? Or Positron?" She asked,
"Echo-gamma is isn't registering on the scanners, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. But to use positron would be... impossible, since it's a form of electricity... which is clearly not the element here." Toni's stomach growled just then,
"Haven't eaten baby?" Tony raised a brow at his kid, who blushed embarrassingly,
"Uh no, just got up actually... let me go grab a bite and I'll be back..." and with that the younger Stark made her way down to the kitchen.

Hawkeye had somehow been wrangled into Thor's audience, a skeptical grin on his face as Thor described the world serpent in gristly detail. Venser was partaking of some Asgardian mead (sip by sip, of course), and the images of the Norse stories he'd learned of in 7th grade all danced about in his head.
Toni came in on the scene, looking just as radiant as any princess blessed with a good night's rest, she was dressed in jeans and a cute little black top. Venser had seen her in quite a few different outfits already, including hardly anything at all. He tried not to blush at the thought, as Thor interrupted his thoughts with a slap to the back. The guy was a buffoon, but as merry as he was it was hard to not laugh along with him.
"Ah, so nice to see you Antoinette." Thor greeted her with a grin. Venser waved in greeting. Did she want to be open about what they did? Or did she just want everyone to think that they were friends?

Toni smiled sweetly and bestowed a sweet kiss on Thor's cheek. Thor was always the sweetest man she had ever known, a complete oddball, but she wouldn't trade it for the world,
"Morning Thor. Guys..." she gave Venser a cutesy wave, one Clint didn't miss but kept quiet as she gave his shoulders a hug before getting herself coffee,
"Um.. us scientist people are going to be working on tracking the Force for the day, Ven, I think my dad might need your help later with that, but don't wait for it... if he remembers he'll call you... so yeah, try not to make a mess. Oh and I have rehearsal later so try not to get into trouble today, kay boys?" She didn't even wait for an answer as she went back into the kitchen to make herself something to eat.
Clint looked at Venser with a knowing smile,
"And what is the little high school waving about? You didn't....?" Clint was pointing at Venser with a surprised look on his face. Poor Thor was lost,
"I do not understand..."
