Business as usual(Pepper/Open)

[TONY STARK]

Business with in the Stark tower as usual goes the same as it does every other day. Tony is awoken by his A.I Jarvis, gotten breakfast by Pepper and informed about his duty's for the day. But on most days he breaks away from what he has to do, or simply just doesn't do them at all. Today was one of those days, he was down in his work shop fixing up one of his many old cars. Specifically his '69 Camaro which apparently decided to have engine troubles which granted him a day off. He then heard some glass break off on the kitchen part of his private space, looking up he saw one of the hand droids looking at him. "Hey be careful or I'll turn your parts and Motherboard to scrap parts!" he told the robotic arm.

As the arm looked down and started to clean up the mess it made, Tony slide on his office chair back to his desk in the upper middle. Grabbing a cup he poured out some of his best Jack Danell's into it and started to drink it down. "That's what I'm talking about" he said stretching his mouth a bit to the stinging liquid. He then got up and snapped his fingers to start the music as he walked over to his tool box.

Pepper had come to Tony Stark's penthouse early. She dressed in a strict and tight black suit that made accentuate her slim figure. The hair was so informal, hair red and blonde hair some rowdy. She had her arm caught in a folder where Tony was all obligations that morning, most of them were invitations to parties, after hours. Where he could display all its charm with beautiful women.

She went downstairs to his office who directed where he always worked alone, only accompanied by a bottle of Jack Daniels. Pepper heard his voice. He was speaking to a machine?. He spent much time alone. Though Pepper sighing in silence

"Tony, are you talking to a droid? .- She came to him with quick steps, but that did not stop being seductive. He put the folder on the desk, next to the phone and the keys to your home. " I came to ask if you to go to the party that Obadiah will perform at the company on friday night. Or would you rather you'd prefer to stay in your office accompanied only your friend Jack Daniels?

[TONY STARK]

Tony as he went to grab his wrench so he could go back down to his private sector where his cars and suits are before he saw Pepper walk in. He looked to her a bit as she questioned whether or not he was talking to a droid of his. "Yeah you know the droid that has apparently butterfingers worse then someone I know" he said smirking to her. He poured himself another cup and washed it down quickly. He snapped his fingers and started to walk towards the door. Hearing about the the party that Obadiah will preforming later, "Ummm...let's see stay in my office and drink, or go to a party while they have drinks, don't know Pepper seems like a hard decision to me".

He then kept on walking out of his office to head to the first floor of his penthouse to head down to his workshop. He kept on walking thinking that Pepper would update him along the way.

She sighed deeply as looked with a smile that never faded from her lips. Virginia had always felt attracted to him, she had always felt feelings that had never revealed to him. Perhaps out of fear, yes .... was afraid. But she also felt pain every time she saw him with a different woman every night. He was known for a gigolo, most desirable man in the city, he had money, was a multimillionaire, handsome, attractive, charming and all women. He got them with a glance, with a smile.

Virginia, and Pepper, as he used to call her, followed Tony with her eyes before sitting in his chair, heels were killing her feet. "Tony is a X-mas party. I think that Obadiah be happy if you go to the party. Although I doubt he is a man really ambitious, try to capture the attention of people, but he always fails when you appear . You are the man that people want. It is a beneficial party, Tony. The benefits will be obtained will be for orphanages .... If I go to the party with a night dress, you will go to? ". She asked with some hope.

Pepper knew had changed since his capture. He had left behind that stage selfish to be someone else that she did not know sometimes. "In addition, we have to celebrate Christmas. No?. Or would you rather do it alone in this office surrounded by metal and droids?"

[TONY STARK]

Tony heard her sit down on one of the chairs down in his work shop as he snapped and the lights came on showing his cars and the Iron Man suits. He walked over to the '69 camero and opened up the hood trying to fix whatever broke. While he was fixing the car he listened to Pepper talking about the party. A beneficial party huh? He did love to crash a party, though it was more fun when he wasn't invited to one. He unscrewed the piece that was broken and took it out covered in oil. Sitting up he looked over to Pepper and jumped up walking towards her. "A beneficial party, sure alright I'll go and if you go in that night dress I will definitely go. Will be nice to see your nice figure in something other then a business outfit" he told her smiling.

Tony like Pepper, a lot actually, but to him it would seem a bit off if they were to act on it. They both had many chances, but it seemed both didn't want to advance with out knowing the other wanted to. Plus along the way she married one of his personal drivers and assistant Happy. Which he thought was great, but to him it showed that he really didn't have place in her heart. He feels for her but he doesn't know if she feels the same, so he never knows. But he digressed from his thoughts and clapped to Jarvis so he could scan the engine to see what was wrong. He looked at the hologram of the engine and looked it over. "Wait Christmas, don't tell me it's December already?" he said surprised.

"These shoes are killing me. Sometimes I like to go barefoot on all sides and sometimes I envy the men". She took off one shoe and began to gently massage the foot as watched Tony as he was working his precious Camero. Hands full of oil, strong and masculine hands. Some was very difficult for her to stand with him, work with him. His natural charm was sometimes incredibly irresistible. But she had always managed to conceal.

"You're always covered with oil, Tony. The president of Stark Company working with his hands and covered with oil. This could be a great cover for Vanity Fair, I believe that all women would kill to buy this". She always so ironic. "Yes, the party is beneficial and I think your presence ,you will attract many people, and that means also attract money, that will help children in orphanages are a gift from Santa Claus this Christmas. While going to see many nice figures in the party besides mine. I think you'll be too busy before setting your eyes on your assistant".

She lowered her eyes watching as he walked over her with his hands covered in oil car. "Of course it's December, Tony. You live in your world, your engine, with your Iron Man suits Sometimes I think you will never have a family, having a woman by your side, a woman that you .. .. loves and cares about you. But I think the heroes as Iron Man have many responsibilities, especially to protect the world. Oh, pardon me! sorry Tony, I had no right to talk this way! ". She repented, flushed and nervous rose from the chair and slid onto the floor because the car had oil on the floor. "Oughhhtttt !!!!". Pepper felt a sharp pain in the legs and buttocks.

[TONY STARK]

Tony looked up to Pepper taking off her shoes and rubbing her feet to make them feel better. He guessed when you wearied high heels all day and walking up and down when your his assistant must have been long. But it must have been fun at some point, from the dangers of the consistent attack on him, sometimes at his very own penthouse. Then again the stress could be a lot hence why she was in pain? He really didn't know, but she was in pain and that was all he knew. And he personally didn't know what he could do for her. As he dropped the wrench on a metal table he looked through the assorted tools, thinking of ways to help her. Maybe a vacation, a good one to I don't know possibly to Vince, or Rome, could take her to one of my penthouses over there Yeah that sounds good we could see the sites and she take a company retreat perfect he thought.

As he picked through all the tools he heard Pepper talk about him being covered in oil and would be good for a Vanity Fair. "Hey not so bad could work out in my favor" he told her with a smirk. Tony always loved a chance to show himself off. And would never give up a chance to do so, he then turned around to face Pepper. "Huh it's always about the money huh? Well guess its for the little kiddo's down at the orphanage sure I'll go. And Pepper.." he told her getting closer. "You know I always find time to set my eyes on you Pepper, might just skip all the press talk just to do it" telling her with a smirk. He went over and pour himself some whiskey and downed it quickly stretching his mouth back a bit.

"Well you know, it's kind of hard to do it with people trying to punch holes through my suits. And no I can totally spare time from my hero antics I mean look I'm here aren't I?" Tony told her sarcastically. As he was walking back to the car he heard a bloop on the floor. He looked over and with out thinking rushed over to Peppers side. Picking her up slowly he placed her on the chair she was just sitting on. "You alright Mrs. klutz, or should I get Dr. Klutz to make sure you didn't harm anything" telling her with a smile.

[potts]

She had tired feet, this was true. When she got home, she thought of a relaxing bubble bath while watching the program Joe Leno or some action movie before falling asleep in bed. One night, bored as all that Pepper had been for many years after the death of her husband. Pepper was back-heeled black shoe and rubbed her tired legs long before directing her blue eyes at the figure of Tony with his hands covered in oil. "The Camaro is broken?". Pepper looked at the battery on Tony's chest, the weak point of it .. She had never told him how happy she was when Tony decided that Stark Industries would not return to make weapons.

"This time the money is a good reason, Tony." When he was near her, she became more nervous, the smell of whiskey stunned to her, the smell does not displeased Pepper, all the contrary, it was exciting, but if it came from. Nor could avoid getting flushed at hearing his words, he attempts to seduce her. "You are a bold and shameless!. Be careful because you can make many women jealous. At the party, I will reserve to you a dance. But I think I will go home early to rest because the next day is an important reunion Stark Company and I have to go wake up to you as a good assistant". Said ironically while took the Tony ´s glass and she drank whiskey in one gulp. "I have a cold, the alcohol will cause me to go into heat". She was not used to alcohol and she had never drunk but felt an intense heat in the throat that is spread throughout the body. "Yes, but sometimes there must be someone to try to help you when appear the holes in your body"

She fell down over floor , because oil and causes of alcohol she had drunk, and she has only drank a little whiskey!. Felt a horrible pain in the buttocks , a slight dizziness, and when he helped her up off the ground filled with oil. Pepper put her hands on his hard chest and tried hard to regain balance again thanks to his help. "I think I would be in danger while under the care of Dr. Klutz. I think I'm a little dizzy. Oh, no ... my suit , no oil stains disappear"

[TONY STARK]

He smirked at her and the smell of his whiskey brewing out of her mouth, she never drank hard whiskey so it was sorta funny to watch. Whiskey was sort of Tony favorite drink and to watch Pepper down it in one gulp was kind of hard to believe. He wondered if she got buzzed right away or if it took its time. But when she fell it showed him that she couldn't take the whiskey straight. Alcohol was one of those things you need practice doing, drinking over and over again. He had that sort of practice for he never really went a day without drinking. He also could go a day without drinking but it was a rare occasion for him to do so.

As he sat her down and seeing her trying to regain her balance for a minute he smiled. "You know you gotta be careful that first step is usually a dozy" he told her a bit. "Ah it's not like they haven't before I mean if they don't who will right? and you have the sniffles? ummm..you can keep that cup, and can you wear a mask I don't want to catch that." he said smirking at her. He stood there beside her a bit looking her over to make sure she was hurt or anything. "And why would I need someone, I have you don't I Pepper?" he told her. He smiled at her as he looked at her for a bit and then got up.

He heard her say about how she would do bad under the care of Dr. Klutz and how she was dizzy and her suit. He looked at her and noticed he got some of the oil that was on him on her along with the oil on the floor. "Oh...ummm...we can buy you another one Pepper don't worry about it" he stated moving to his tool box. He wanted to continue fixing his car up so he could at least get it running again.

[potts]

"I'm not a drunk, do not think so, Tony!". She sighed, her head hurt her terribly and she barely had time to herself. Since Tony gave her the post of president of the Stark Company, she was exhausted and could I would fall asleep in that chair. But she had not told him that the only place where she was safe and could sleep for hours and hours in that place. She had never said the feelings she had for him, she always had loved, loved in silence. She did not mind seeing him drunk. She had seen worse. But sometimes she became hysterical because of him.

"I'm not cold, Tony!. It's just that I'm tired, very tired. I could spend hours and hours in bed sleeping and resting. The responsibility for your entregastes me is great. But every time I think and we are the only ones we can deal with the company, the only ones who can be here against the Sharks.

"And Why Would I need someone, I Pepper I Have You Do?"

These words have stunned and speechless to Pepper, she did not blink, her innocent eyes widened and a blush on the cheeks which lowered her eyes to look over him.

Come with me to buy the suit, but you do not come with me in the changing room of the shop. I know you very well, shameless!".Smiled at him before getting up and leaving his work office while shaken by the alcohol she had drunk.

( I have changed her position respect President Stark Cº because he has discovered yet a new element)
