[Someone's been scoping out the past few days over the comms. And interestingly enough? She's almost glad she hadn't gotten here sooner.]

Guess I missed ... a lot, actually. [And boy, does little Miss PA sound unnerved by it.]

Nothing worth worrying your pretty little head about.

[Pepper.

It's Pepper. Pepper Potts. Virginia Not-A-State Potts. And more than that? This isn't one of those multiverse bleedthroughs that happen every now and then. This isn't like when he'd gotten the chance to talk to Coulson, Hill, Yinsen, and Rhodey. This was Pepper Potts back on the barge, after getting tossed back home for whatever bullshit reason the Admiral had.

And this time? Tony remembers the relationship they have. He remembers being with her, all the teasing and fighting and late night champagne dates. He remembers pouting as she got friendly with Ph-Agent Coulson, and he remembers the words she whispered in his ear before getting on that plane to DC.

The last words he'd heard from her, actually.]

Yeah, uh, you missed your chance to smoke hookah with a caterpillar and be hunted down by carnivorous topiary. [At least, he thinks that's what happened. Also the caterpillar thing is complete bull, but whatever. They went to Wonderland. Either way, he's acting normal. Snippy and assholish and trying and failing to play it off like he doesn't care that she's back, that she's here.

But that only really lasts about ten seconds, until his expression's softening in that way it only does around her.] And, by the way?

I finished that homework.

Welcome back, Miss Potts.

[thestarspangledman]

You sure did. It's good to see you again, though, ma'am. [Have a small smile from the captain, over here.]

Hello again, Pepper.

You should be glad you weren't here.

[persuadeyou]

[Well this is curious.]

Apparently that isn't so strange here. [She is UNSURE about this, and honestly wondering if it's a game of the Admiral's: bring her here, send her home, throw Tony through a loop.]
