Tony + Pepper
WHO: Tony Stark & Pepper Potts
WHAT: Pepper's arrival in Goodland.
WHERE: Stark Industries
WHEN: Sunday, Sept. 15th
WARNINGS: Language
SPOILERS: Through Endgame
STATUS: Completed

Tony lost a few working hours to Goodland's bout of bad luck on Friday so he decided to get some work done in the office late Sunday morning. He didn't plan to work too long. He needed to cook (or buy) dinner for the kids and make sure they didn't need anything for school in the coming week. He also preferred working on Rhodey's braces to the boring paperwork he needed to complete at Stark Industries.

He finished the important matters that couldn't wait within two hours and decided to head back to Ostrich's Villa. He could work on the braces, spend time with any of the kids that were around, and maybe enjoy a stiff drink. It had been a long week. "Make sure the building is secure," he told his work AI. Once it confirmed the building was locked, he turned toward the street. He shook his head on noticing a flash of reddish blond hair. Get a grip, he told himself. She vanished. She is not here.

Pepper grinned and took Tony’s hand when he offered it, she didn't know exactly where he was going to lead her, but that barely mattered. Admittedly, the phrase ‘what happens back there’ had a bit of an ominous ring to it that put Pepper on edge. She wouldn’t dwell on it though, especially since Tony was clearly there in front of her. Anything else, she could deal with.

“So this place acts like a bridge to the multiverses?” She asked, more curious than surprised. She was familiar with the multiverse theory, but it had always been just that-- a theory. The fact that someone had not only found a way to pull people from their universes, but seemingly make a space that existed outside of any of them… it was impressive in the right hands. The problem was that things like this were seldom in the right hands.

“I think I would have been more surprised about the existence of witches and wizards and andriods prior to the Avengers initiative.” She smirked at him, squeezing his hand. It was true, that since working with SHIELD her eyes had been opened more to the possibility of such things, she’d met Vision and Wanda and the Portal Man after all. There was a catch though, as he mentioned that Sam was not from their universe. She had to pause for a moment.

“But… you, you’re my Tony, right?”

	Tony chuckled as she recounted some of the “unbelievable” things that were actually very real in their world. He squeezed her hand as they walked along the streets. “Nope, I’m actually some evil overlord.” He stopped walking, turned to her, and pressed his lips against her before taking a step back. “So am I yours?” He asked with a wink.

Pepper couldnt help but giggle at the sudden kiss. Tony had a way even after all the time they'd spent together, despite their age, to make her feel like a love struck teenager at times. "Yep, definitely my Tony. Evil overlord and all." She smirked happily at him.

"You've been here for three months?" She asked. She couldn't imagine it. He had been gone less than a day for her, and knowing where he was, she had still been worried sick. She gestured back towards the direction of the Stark Industries building. "You've been busy then. Tell me about it."

There was too much to tell her right there in the middle of the sidewalk so he suggested they walk to a nearby coffee shop. Once settled, he told her all about Goodland. He mentioned the ostriches, the demons, the bad luck, and singing leprechauns. He explained how she was there before, but vanished. He told her the entity randomly sends things from home. He talked about becoming close to Sam Wilson and Cisco and how they were working on stabilizing the place. He told her about James and Laura and, finally, how Peter and Michelle were living with him. Lastly, he reached across the table and stroked her cheek. “Our daughter is here. Morgan. She is 17 and absolutely perfect.”

It was a lot of information, however, if being Tony’s assistant and then running a company had taught her anything, it was how to quickly sort through a lot of information. She had gleaned enough of it, anyway, to condense Tony’s three months into facts that she could keep track of.

She had vanished? She hated the thought of leaving her family behind, and vowed that she would do anything in her power not to do something like that again. She took a sip of her coffee. They were responsible for Peter and his friend, MJ. She could handle that. She adored Peter, and she had spoken to MJ on the network earlier. She didn’t know anything about her, but she would make up for it. She seemed like a smart young lady.

The idea of Laura, and her universe of dual personalities was interesting, and of course, Pepper would never say anything about assisting the young girl with anything. The same with James, it seemed that her fiance had taken a liking to picking up stray kids, but Pepper couldn’t have been more proud of him. She leaned into the touch of her face.

“Our daughter?” She said softly, her eyes were wide and excited but she couldn’t help but laugh. “You just told me this morning that you’d had a dream where we had a child and named her after my uncle.” She couldn’t believe they had actually gone and done that. They had a family here, and Pepper’s heart felt full at the thought.

It would take Pepper a little while, to learn the ins and outs and interests of each kid, but she was going to absolutely try to do so. “I can’t wait to meet all of them.”
