When Tony and Aphrodite finally returned to the compound everyone was on an important mission - or so they thought.

The two went up to Aphrodite's room, the lights were off and the curtains closed so they couldn't see much as it was late evening.

"The team 'll be back soon, Tony." Aphrodite whispered with a laugh, feeling Tony kiss down her neck.

"So we've got just enough time for a-"

"What the fuck?"

The two turned their heads at the voice.

"Peter!" They both said in unison.

"Are you guys together?!" He gasped, getting up from the beanbag in the corner of Aphrodite's room, where he had previously been taking a nap.

"Maybe." They both said, once again in unison.

Aphrodite shoved Tony out of the room and slammed the door behind her, taking a seat on the bed next to Peter.

The two talked about Aphrodites relationship with Tony and Peter was, though very grossed out, supportive.

When the two finally emerged from Aphrodite's room, the rest of the team had returned, and were all sitting in the living room of their communal floor.

When the two walked in everyone greeted each other before Tony pulled aside his girlfriend to discuss how to tell the team.

"What if instead of telling them like it's some huge announcement, we just.. stop hiding it?" She suggested, really dreading the awkward conversation.

Tony paused for a second, and then realised it would be easier than the other option, and agreed.

They weren't standing too far from the team, and they were in pretty much everyone's peripheral, so Aphrodite grabbed Tony by the collar of his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss.

Steve, who was the only one actually facing them, chocked on his cereal, now getting everyone's attention in that direction.

The couple were too caught up to realise everyone was staring at them, and when Aphrodite pulled away, she didn't spare a single glance to anyone, and instead walked away into the next room, quickly followed by Yelena, Wanda, Pietro, and Peter.

"You're dating the old man?!" Yelena asked, grabbing Aphrodites arm.

"Perchance."

"You can't just say perchance!" Peter yelled, and then shut himself up upon seeing the glare he was receiving from Aphrodite.

"That's weird. He's like a grandpa." Pietro said, but was also shut up after a harsh whack on the arm from Wanda, who had been looking into her mind for the past few minutes.

"If you're happy, then we're happy for you." She smiled. "Right Pietro?"

"Right." He groaned, holding his own arm in pain.

"I'm only happy for you if you promise to not abandon us again without any notice." Yelena said.

"Sure. No more surprise trips to Tony Starks Malibu dreamhouse." She laughed.

In the other room Tony was getting scolded by anyone and everyone in every way possible.

Luckily for him, the door was right there and he didn't want to deal with it, so he left.

Right out the front door of stark tower, and took happy to go on a shopping trip to get some stuff for his girlfriend, hoping that it'll make up for the insane amount of questions from the rest of the avengers.
