Stark Industries - A Bit Overdue?

[YolkaEd]

Stark Industries, the tower housing the main CEO and other higher-ups in the company ever prominent in the middle of the big city of Manhattan...



...and naturally, around this point he made his way directly to the tower. "Alright, just some quick research notes to pick up here, then back to base." As he landed on the balcony platform, he began walking inside.

"Sir, are you sure that's all on your agenda for today?"



"Yyyeah, pretty positive." As he walked, his suit was slowly being removed automatically.



"I mean, I already dealt with an old enemy who came back from the dead a second time, and you're getting info off Fury's ship as we speak. What else is there on the agenda?"

"Well, sir, Ms. Potts is expecting you."



Beat. "...oh, right... told her I was gonna make it up to her..." He looked about. "...Jarvis, could you check if there's anything that could serve as a distraction from this?"

"Already triple-checked, sir. No such distractions located in the current vicinity."



"...good." With a hum, he walked down to the main hall of the tower. "Right, what sounds good at the moment? Dinner at a fancy restaurant? Cruise around the world? Trip to Vegas?"

And speak of the devil, the red-haired businesswoman marched toward his way, carrying a large folder. "Huh...Tony, I thought I wasn't your secretary anymore."

[YolkaEd]

"...see, I figured that was the case as well, after I appointed you the CEO." With a small hum, he approached her, eying the folder she was carrying. "Is that for me? If I knew we were giving away presents, I'd have brought something in advance."

[AnT]

With a dry smirk, "No, these are just the company's financial records I need to look over." Holding up a piece of paper, "This is for you. Fury just called you; something about helping some jungle guy from Africa."

[YolkaEd]

Taking the paper to read over, Tony hummed. "...business in Wakanda... huh." With a small hum, he tilted his head. "...did he say anything about it being urgent, Pepper?"

[AnT]

"Isn't it always when he calls?" she scoffed.

[YolkaEd]

A dry hum escaped his lips. "And here I was gonna make up for me heading off to Connecticut..." With a shrug, he pocketed the paper slip. "In that case, I'm gonna have to have you think of some way I'll make up for me heading out to Africa."

[AnT]

"Oh gee, flowers would suffice." she smirked.

[YolkaEd]

"I'll pick you up a bouquet after I clean up whatever mess Fury wants cleaned up." Tony hummed, as he gave Pepper a nod. "My private jet's on standby, right?"

[AnT]

Using her cell phone, "Shelly, have the pilots warm up Stark's private jet ready to head for the SHIELD helicarrier."

[YolkaEd]

"Easy and efficient. Just how I like it." With a smile and a nod to her, he began walking for the bar counter; opening up a shelf that contained two metallic wristbands. "I'll break out the Mark VII for this one... you know if we have the Mark V suitcase lying around the tower?"

[AnT]

"In your office." she sighed, in annoyance. "Yup....still your secretary..."

[YolkaEd]

"Well, you do a great job of being a stand-in for the secretary that I haven't found to take your old job." he remarked as he snapped the wristbands around his wrists, before heading to his office. "And honestly, I don't know anyone else who can keep me in line like you, Pepper."

[AnT]

"Funny, I figured it be Rhodey." she smirked.

[YolkaEd]

"...true, but I think he'd have words about being a secretary. Especially mine." Grabbing the suitcase in his office, he walked over to Pepper again. "Say, is there anything special happening over the course of the month? Anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, anything?"
