Who: Darcy Lewis and Pepper Potts
What: Morning coffee
When: Friday, July 6th. Morning
Where: Break Room at City Hall
Status: In Progress

"Come on, coffee machine. Snap to it," If it weren't for the fact that the coffee in the breakroom at City Hall was so good, Darcy would have stopped at a cafe on her way to work, but honestly, the City Hall coffee trumped all other coffees she'd ever drank and she had no idea what made it so good. It wasn't like it was a special brand or that anyone did anything special to it, but somehow it was just awesome. Grabbing a mug from the shelf above the coffeemaker, Darcy couldn't help but smirk as the mug reminded her of Thor's enthusiasm when he'd first had coffee and if she were honest, it would never not make her laugh. After all, the looks on the faces of the other patrons in the diner had been hilarious and she had been greatly amused even if Jane and Erik hadn't been.

As the coffeemaker finally beeped, Darcy gave a little whoop and poured the steaming liquid into the mug then went to the fridge to decide on which creamer to add today. "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe..." she said as he pointed at each of the various flavored creamers in the fridge before finally choosing one and adding it and quite a bit of sugar to her coffee. She mixed it until she was satisfied with the color and then brought it to her lips and took a sip, savoring the taste and warmth. The wait had certainly been worth it.

Pepper smiled kindly, getting up and refilling her coffee cup. She always needed two good cups to start her day. "I wouldn't have said it if I didn't think so," she told the younger woman. And it was true. Darcy was smart and competent and didn't take any crap from anyone. Those were all qualities someone needed when dealing with Tony. "Though honestly, I'd leave the flask and just keep your taser. It's better for keeping him in line." She paused. "Not that we'd ever let you go here. You're the best assistant I could ever hope to find." For all that people thought that Pepper was a flawless assistant who kept everything going through the power of her competence, she still needed help now and then, and Darcy was very good at helping her.

"I don't know about that," Pepper told her. "Jane seemed quiet enough, and you got along with her just fine. But it certainly is easier when you're living with someone whose personality meshes well with yours." That's how it had been with Lucy, and now with Mycroft, both of them similarly sensible and no-nonsense. She still missed Lucy most days, having become accustomed to having a close female friend after years of never really connecting to other women, but she was starting to think of Darcy as a friend, which was nice. "It's the same way with me and Mycroft, though that situation is a bit different." And that was all she would say on the subject. She had no intention of discussing her relationship with one of Mycroft's subordinates. It would be unprofessional and inappropriate.

She hadn't thought about tasing Tony, which was odd since the possibility of having to use her taser on someone was generally always somewhere in her train of thought, "Now that would definitely be more entertaining...not for Tony of course, but for me, it would be." Darcy's smile brightened at the added compliments and she couldn't help but beam a little bit. Darcy enjoyed compliments, especially when they had to do with her work ethics, because so often people simply assumed that she was lazy or wasn't cut out for a specific job based solely on her appearance and personality. She truly enjoyed proving them wrong.

She took another sip of her coffe and realizing it was almost empty, simply downed the rest of it before nodding, "Yeah, Jane and I got along alright, but I don't think that I could ever live with her." Although she had, had some friends who were girls, Darcy was the type who got along better with guys. "I bet it is." Darcy smirked, but said no more. Even she knew which comments she shouldn't press on and when it came to the relationship between her boss and Pepper, she knew enough not to ask questions there; at least not unless Pepper offered up information.
