Who: Tony and Pepper When: July 10, 2012 Where: Stark Tower What: Tony's living in the suit fighting Frost Giants and Pepper tries to reason with him. Rating: PG-13 (Think about it.)
Pepper had spent the last four days on the phone and in meeting with everyone she could muster together, organizing relief efforts for the people of Manhattan, and in every other city in the world in which Stark Industries and their subsidiaries had a location. They had gathered supplies, opened their doors - first to employees and their families in need of assistance, then to anyone in the city they had the resources to help. First aid, food, shelter, even things as simple as beds, blankets, and warm clothes were more than some people had.
It still wasn't enough, but it was a start, and Pepper kept moving, talking to city government officials to let them know that they were there and available, what their capacity and resources were, and volunteering to do anything they could, if it were possible. One of the benefits of running of sustainable energy was that there was that there was no danger of it being knocked out by the storm.
Checking her watch, Pepper realized she hadn't eaten since midnight last night, and that she badly needed a break. And if she needed a break, then so did Tony.
Heading up to his penthouse, she adjusted the bluetooth in her ear and touched the screen with his picture to dial Tony in his suit. "You need to come down," she said without preamble when the connection went through. "I need you to eat, and I need you to drink some water."
