Pepper smirked at Jarvis' drole comment as she settled herself into the chair alongside of the couch that Tony had stretched himself out on. Luckily for her, she could always count on Jarvis to be about to annoy Tony for her, even when she couldn't. She liked to think that she & the A.I. were on the same team and that he liked to look out for her against the sometimes bullying nature of Tony Stark...but there were times when even Jarvis showed no loyalties and he would turn on her!
He'd been quick to rat out the fact to Tony that she'd spent almost every night over at his home during his captivity...all the way from working into the early hours of the morning to simply coming here after work and collapsing with exhaustion on his couch. Another time he'd purposefully locked the doors in the household and refused to unlock them until she & Tony put an end to the petty squabbling that had been going on throughout the day. He'd said they were "worse than an old married couple" and that they were going to solve things before he had to endure another minute of the headache they'd caused him.
...and Pepper wouldn't put it past Tony to design a computer that could actually get migraines.
But, on the whole, it seemed that the A.I. tended to have her back on most things, and for that Pepper was forever grateful...even if it was only to get under his maker's skin.
"Tony, don't let her eat that," Pepper cried, leaning forward to gently push the kitten back away from the sugar sweetness of his Coco Puffs. "All that chocolate milk can't be good for her! Do you even know anything about raising a cat? We need to go out and buy some books on it or something, because I certainly don't know the first thing about it!"
She watched as the playful ball of fluff pranced its way happily across Tony's chest before sitting itself down right in his line of view of the television. Pepper smirked as it mewed at him, demanding his attention. She reached her hand out again and touched the top of its little head with her fingertips, giving a little smile as it nuzzled itself against her palm happily.
