WHO: Tony Stark & Pepper Potts.
WHAT: A Funny Thing Happened When I Tried To Fire The Point Man.
WHEN: Thursday late-afternoon.
WHERE: Stark Industries.
WARNINGS: Fighting. Angst. Sadness. Probably no sex. And likely no shootings. (I think.)
Tony rubbed his eyes, finishing off his last glass of the horrible green shit, wondering if it was worth it. The Dermablend had to be applied halfway up his neck on both sides now, and his chest looked like a jigsaw puzzle. The headache was a constant and most days he only kept down a bare minimum of food. Between the makeup and mouthwash no one really was the wiser, but it was only a matter of time.
He'd been putting on a show for Bristow. Hopefully some disaster would crop up; a volcano or some shit, and he could go out in a blaze of glory. Then no one would be the wiser.
But no, right now it was 'fight with the girlfriend over a hiring decision' time, and he wouldn't want to miss that. This was going to end badly, he had no doubt of it. He consigned himself to the Green Mile, trudging up to her office.
