Pepper had recently dreamed about the Monaco grand prix event, where Tony had decided to race and Ivan Vanko had made his first appearance. She had to admit when she woke up she’d been rather impressed with Tony’s ‘suitcase suit’ so when he’d told her to come down to the lab she had to admit part of her was curious to see how the suit was coming along here. It had been more difficult she knew because of the availability of resources - some materials simply didn’t seem to exist. But she knew he and Jarvis had been working on it.
Tony was a little paranoid that he was going to get sick from the thing in his chest. It’d happened in his dreams, and though the shot he’d been given by that hot chick working for Nick Fury had helped, it was a band-aid, not a cure. So far in the Real World he hadn’t experienced any of the problems, but he wasn’t ruling it out. He and Jarvis would have to figure it out, should something like that arise.
He’d called Pepper up to see the Suit that had come from his dreams. Not as awesome as the suitcase suit, but still pretty impressive. It was just standing there in the lab while Tony was at his computer running some numbers.
In the dreams Pepper hadn’t yet been told about Tony’s condition so she had no idea that was weighing on his mind. She was just slightly exasperated with his reckless behaviour, especially since he’d asked her to run the company.
When she entered the lab the first thing she saw was the suit and it looked pretty good to her. “Is it finished?” she asked moving over to Tony and the computer.
“It arrived like that.” Tony said, then jumped quickly from his chair so he could wrap an arm around her, draw her in close, and steal a kiss from her lips. Work could wait a moment. He wanted to greet this amazing woman.
Before Pepper could say or ask anything more she was in his arms being kissed and she really couldn’t say she minded at all. When they eventually broke apart she smiled, “Well that was a rather nice greeting” she told him, her own arms now wrapped around his neck.
“I’m a rather nice fellow, if I do say so myself,” Tony responded, giving her a smile in return. His arms were wrapped down and around her, his forehead resting on her own. “Sometimes I just can’t help myself. It’s something I’m working on.”
"Well I can't say I mind" she smiled, "So the suit is all brand new huh?" No wonder he was in a good mood if the whole thing had appeared. It certainly saved a lot of work.
Tony reluctantly released her, then moved back across his office toward the open doorway to his lab. “Yes. She just showed up one night after some Dreams. Jarvis and I have been running tests to make sure she’s up to snuff.”
Pepper followed, interested to see what he’d been doing. “What’s the verdict so far? Do I have to worry about you testing it personally next?” she asked.
“...no?” Tony responded. She didn’t have to worry about him testing it personally next because he’d already personally tested it. Maybe he should tell her that? Then again, maybe not. “She’s safe. Just as safe here as in the Dreams.”
Sighing Pepper leveled a look at him, “At least tell me you were careful and had Jarvis watching your back?” she said, sometimes it was hard knowing Tony as well as she did.
“I was careful and had Jarvis watching my back,” Tony said, obediently. Of course, that wasn’t 100% true 100% of the time. But it was mostly true. She’d asked him to tell her that, so he did.
She whacked him on the arm, “You better be telling me the truth Tony Stark or your massive stash of girl scout cookies will disappear” she warned him.
“Hey!” Tony said, lifting a hand to rub at his arm where she’d whacked him. “I’m just doing what I was told, Pep. You can’t fault me for that.” Though a smirk was tugging at the corner of his lips. He tried to ignore it as best he could.
“Oh I think you’ll find I can” she told him though there was an answering smirk appearing on her own face too. Why was he suddenly too adorable to stay mad at? It was really quite inconvenient.
Tony took another step closer to her, one of his arms snaking down and around her waist. She was adorable when she was trying to stay mad at him. The smirk came through full force now. “I think I’ll find you can’t.” He said, then leaned in to steal a kiss from her lips.
Before Pepper could argue she was being kissed and she couldn’t really deny that it was preferable to arguing with Tony. She couldn’t let him get away with it too often but right now she was enjoying being distracted.
