"Pepper Potts is--Hi, Mike-- she's Tony Stark's personal assistant. I'm pretty sure she's the reason he can run a business and be Iron Man without tripping over his own feet," she explained. "Whenever I e-mail Iron Man, she's the one who responds," she said with a shrug.
That explained, she let Ted tell Mike what he was revealing to her, which seemed fine until he got to who he was. She had lifted her cocoa again, but paused in mid lift and just let the mug sit in the air between the table and her mouth. There were plenty of guys he could've been, but then there was Blue Beetle with the giant Beetle thing. "I think Hulkling met you already," she said a moment after. Then she placed her mug on the table. "He talked my ear off about you for ages."
She was completely avoiding some other issue. She'd never tried to contact him herself, but she was kind of busy. Heroes liked team-ups though and this was kind of awkward. "You fight with the guy with the thing, right?" She gestured over her shoulder like something was supposed to be there. "Starman...Gold Star..." She took a moment to try and think of the name. "The guy with the ridiculously perfect smile." Why was she drawing a blank? She owned a magazine with him on it.
