Guess you're onto something there, a lotta the soldier boys don't take well to me, don't know what it is. [ He suspects with Bucky, and with Rhodey, that neither will ever quite warm to him, but he can try for nothing. ]

He build it himself, huh? Good thing he's got it either way, would hate to think'a you in danger.

[ He grins at that, carefully clinks his cup to hers. ] I can drink to that. You married to the job, too, huh?

Yes, it's good for getting out of dangerous situations. [ Pretty good for getting into them too, but she's just going to let that go unsaid. ]

In more ways than one, sometimes. Do they have you working at City Solutions? Because if so, that makes me your boss.

Wouldn't mind getting a closer look at it. Y'think he'd be willing to let me near the thing?

You're the boss? [ He was under the impression the Tony guy was his boss, but he shrugs, not fussy. ] In that case, you run a tight ship.

I don't know, the suit's kind of his baby. You'd have to ask him, real nicely.

I am. That doesn't offend your Forties sensibilities?

I ran Tony's company back home for a time, [ ~~while he was DYING~~ ] so when I arrived here, he asked me to take the wheel again.

Not sure I can do real nice, but I'll give it a go.

[ He considers this, and then shrugs. ] Nah, always knew you broads'd get your opportunity sooner or later, and the company runs, don't it?

Tony's a smart guy, leave all the hard stuff to someone else. I gotta deal with that myself.

It runs. Though I don't have to do a whole lot to keep it that way, luckily. Back home it was a lot harder. At least here I don't have to deal with Senate hearings and board meetings. [ And broken contracts when Tony decides he doesn't want the weapons manufacturer to build weapons any more. ]

Yeah, y'really don't wanna be sitting through those things, they don't usually have anything of interest to bring to the table, and there's better things to be getting on with. Guess it's working out for you here in that respect, then, huh?

It is. Though with Tony on board you never know what's coming around the next corner.

Still, [ She raises her cup. ] there's coffee. Coffee helps.

Seems like a nice fella and all. He a bit eccentric or something?

[ Laughing, he lifts his own, clinks their cups. ] I'll drink to that.

[ Pepper tries to stifle a giggle. ]

Ahem. Um. What I mean to say is, "eccentric" would be putting it lightly.
