[There's a pause and it's almost added as an after thought:]

If this is a message regarding Tony Stark, I will make sure to address the matter or concern as soon as possible. Thank you for you patience.

You're an incredible friend. It wouldn't be the same without you.

It's not uncommon for anyone to second guess their choices or even what they're doing. We're human after all.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

I could say the exact same things about you too.

A fault and a gift I suppose. [She smiles a little wryly.] I think that speaking to Clint first would be the best idea. I suspect that Howard is going to be at Steve's party tomorrow and at the wedding.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

You're right, I should talk to him about it before anything else. I just wish that it was a whole lot easier to do. At least we have the party and the wedding to look forward to.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

It'll take our minds off everything else for a bit.

[She pauses remembering the whole cube debacle.]

How are you holding up, by the way?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I'm holding up okay. As well as I can, considering what happened.

[A sigh can be heard from her end.]

Clint and I talked about it. He helped me to realise that it wasn't my fault and that I was used.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

No one blames you for what happened, Bela. He's in jail [for three months granted but] and we'll figure out what to do with him from here on out.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I know, Pepper. But I still feel guilty. I could have- [she doesn't finish off the sentence.] Anyway. He should be locked away forever.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

We have the Chief Prosecutor on our side. If he so much as sets another toe out of line, locking him away forever shouldn't be a problem.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

It all sounds very reassuring but something could happen and Schmidt could get out again, maybe even commit an act even worse than the virus.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

I know there's the possibility but I believe in them.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Then you've a lot more faith than me, Pepper.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

I have to have something when they all go off to save the world, don't I?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Yeah, I suppose you do. They'd be nowhere without you.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

They'd get by just fine.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I don't believe that to be true.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

Hopefully we'll never have to find out, right?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I certainly hope so, Pepper.

But I should probably let you go. Thanks for making me feel better about things.

voice;

[pepperedsmile]

Not at all, Bela. If you need anything else you know where to find me.

I'll see you at Steve's birthday party tomorrow?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Likewise, Pepper. Just send a message my way if you need to talk.

Yeah, you will. I'll see you then.
