Who: Pepper Potts and Tony Stark
What: Tony's giving her a gift
When: Tonight
Where: The shop
Warnings: Oh who knows?

Most of the time, Pepper had been working. Like usual. Wasn't she always working? However she had been in the upper part of the house, with her laptop in her lap and randomly eating some crackers she'd found in the kitchen. Eventually she'd have to have dinner, but not anytime soon.

Tony had bought her a present. At least she wasn't buying it herself. Putting her laptop down, she headed down to the shop. "Tony?" she ventured as she came inside, loud enough for him to hear her over whatever the heck he was doing.

"Just finishing up!" came the disembodied voice from behind one of the cars. Tony hadn't managed to buy all the ones he wanted to yet, but really, four was a good start.

He really hoped she'd like this.

Wiping the grease from his hands on his jeans, Tony walked over and took Pepper's hands in his. "So, I made something. It's not totally finished, but you should be able to test it out, okay? Now, close your eyes."

Thankfully Pepper was used to waiting, so she just kind of looked around to see if she could find her present. She didn't see any boxes with bows or whatever. No wrapping paper or anything. Hm. Well it wasn't like she thought that Tony would get wrapping paper.

She kept her hand in his, her eyebrows raised a bit. "You made something?" Not bought something? How very interesting. "Test it out? Oh.." Now she was a little worried. "Um.. okay.." She shut her eyes and really hoped nothing was about to explode in her face.

	He'd actually thought of getting a giant bow to stick on top, but had run out of time. Tony gently led her around the car, in front of what he'd spent the past three days putting together. Moving to stand behind her with his hands on her shoulders, he leaned in. "Okay, open them." (Reply to this)

	Pepper shuffled forward as he lead her around. She didn't think he'd let her walk into anything, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Plus it was just kind of habit. Finally she opened her eyes and blinked at what was on the table. It was.. a suit. Or what was going to be a suit. That was easy to tell. But it was clearly her size. "Tony.. I... you.. built me a suit?" (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-20 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"A suit. You'll have to try it out; I kind of um, measured while you were asleep, here," he shuffled her over to the suit, letting it disassemble and move to the floor so she could step in. "It's got a Jarvis interface just like mine, so you tell it what to do. Go ahead." Did she like it? It was so hard to tell. (Reply to this)

"You measured me.. while I was asleep.." Oh if it wasn't him, she would have been creeped out and probably smacked the man who said it. He was very lucky that he was her.. um, whatever he was. Boss, still.

Shuffling over to the suit, she looked at it and then looked back at him. It was just that she was a little nervous. "It's.. safe, right?"

Carefully she stepped into the suit, waiting for it to do it's magic.

	"Yeah, of course it is. I wouldn't let you in it if I hadn't tested it already. Purely defensive, for the moment. Didn't know if you'd want any weapons." Tony walked in front of her, intently meeting her gaze. "If you don't want it, I understand. Just... wanted you safe, that's all. This world is kind of weird." (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-20 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"Right, of course.." she nodded a little. She didn't know if she wanted weapons. Maybe he was right, maybe she'd be safer in one of these. "I know that I've been in the way, or well in danger the last couple of times.." she began as the suit began to zip up so to speak. She shook her head a little. "It's not that I don't want it. You're probably right, I could stand to be safer." (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-20 02:36 am UTC (link)
	"Hey," Tony said, leaning in to give her a fierce kiss before the suit reached her neck. He pulled away just in time, grinning as his own suit started assembling around him. "You're never in the way." (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-20 02:39 am UTC (link)
	With a grin, she kissed him back just before the whole thing suited up. Oh well that was a new sensation. She wondered if she'd feel claustrophobic in here. "That's good to know." Still she didn't want to be in danger. "So does Jarvis work in here yet? I mean, what should I not do?" (Reply to this)

Tony opened his mask so he could see her, reaching over to touch one iron hand to hers. "Yeah, he's there. He won't let you do anything that would get you hurt." Muffled through his suit, he could hear Jarvis greeting her a lot more cheerfully than he ever greeted Tony.

Smartass AI.

"So." Tony got that grin on his face that honestly, Pepper should know meant one of two things. Something awesome, or something terrible. Often both at the same time.

"Ready to fly?"

	It was a wonder she could hear him at first, but then it seemed like his voice was right there inside the suit. She didn't know how to open the mask or do anything but stand there, so that's what she did. Though she could feel his hand in hers. "Oh, hello Jarvis! Look at all this stuff.." She was really kind of impressed. "F-fly? You.. I don't even know how to move this thing!" (Reply to this)

"Trust me, Jarvis will handle it while you get the feel." Tony tugged at her hand. "I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to. I just made you a suit so you could, you know, fly without a plane, which is pretty much the best feeling after that thing you do with your tongue..."

Tony winked at her, knowing that this was, strategically speaking, the most effective way to get her in the air short of grabbing her and just taking off.

	Yeah if he'd done that, she would have hit him or something. Definitely hit him. "He'll just fly the suit? But how am I supposed to just.. do I tell him to move? I don't know how to do this, Tony!" wasn't he supposed to actually teach her? Ugh. Men. "Wait, what did you just say about my tongue?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-20 02:58 am UTC (link)
	"Sorry, can't hear you!" Tony yelled before his visor snapped down. "Jarvis, manual override of Pepper's suit." The garage doors at the end of the tunnel opened, and Tony took off. It was a totally reasonable pace. Really. He wondered idly if he would be able to hear her scream through the suit without it getting picked up by his external microphone. (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-20 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Just like that, she had taken off down the way, following Tony. And yes, she was screaming. Screaming his name, and not in the good way. "TONY STARK, YOU STOP IT RIGHT NOW I DON'T WANT TO - " And then she cut off as the suit took off into the air. Oh god oh god oh god. Yeah, total panic. (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-20 11:54 am UTC (link)
	Guiding her suit, he situated her right in front of his airspace, giving her a second or two or five to calm down. "Pepper, listen to me. I'm controlling your suit. You'll be fine, I promise, okay? Just trust me." He just hoped the artificial peanut gallery wouldn't pipe up with his own opinion. Maybe putting Jarvis in her suit wasn't such a good idea. (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-20 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	Actually she did calm down after a moment. Breathing tended to help. "I know.. I know.." she grumbled. "You should have given me some warning!" Though now that she was out here, it was kind of amazing. (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-21 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"If I had given you warning, you'd have told me no." Tony grinned, watching her start to arc into the windstream, starting to give herself over to flight. He knew she'd like it. (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-21 01:44 am UTC (link)
	"I would not! I would have just asked for you to give me time," she protested with another grumble. Well of course she liked it. She loved it. It was still terrifying. And she'd hit him as soon as she was out of the suit. (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-21 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Tony just snorted. Like fun she would. Guiding them back down to the roof, he stood in front of Pepper's suit, grinning as his visor flipped up. "So." (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-21 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Oh yes, yes she would. Once they were on the roof, she leaned over and hit him anyway. Forget waiting to get out of the suit. "Don't do that again!" (Reply to this)

	thanksjarvis 2011-10-21 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Tony laughed as the metal clunked against metal, and he gave her a kiss through the visor. Hm. Barely enough clearance. He'd have to fix that. "You loved it." (Reply to this)

	withadashof 2011-10-21 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Oh she was glaring at him. So much glaring. "Not as much as I would have if you hadn't given me a heart attack," she pointed out. It was a bit remarkable how easy it was to move around in this thing. (Reply to this)
