contact。

You've reached Pepper Potts. I'm sorry I missed your call, but please leave a message with your name, your contact information and details as to why you're calling after the tone and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.

[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.

Miss Potts. [There's no introduction, though his tone is actually fairly conversational. He wonders for a moment if she will know him without checking her call display. The only time he's ever seen her or interacted with her was when he was in Steve's body and she and Bucky so rudely interrupted his intimate time with Peggy.

And he wouldn't have even considered her worth his time, except that Tony Stark cared about her.] I understand you woke up recently, Stark must have been very hurt by your absence. But you are better now, yes?

[She wouldn't forget that face and for a moment, Pepper wonders if she should hang up on him and just get JARVIS to block the call. Her lips are tugged into a firm line, and instead she had JARVIS record the call for later use just in case.]

I was a little disappointed to see that certain people hadn't left yet, but yes I'm better. Thank you for asking.

[Oh, well then, he sees what you did there.]

Good, good. And if you are referring to me, I have no intention of leaving, even if I could choose to go. But there are certain people who I would be happy to help send home, if I could.

I don't think that you mean that in the kindest of terms.

Don't I? How can you be so sure? Maybe I am not as bad Captain Rogers says.

You haven't done anything to convince me otherwise.

Ahh, of course, you are familiar with my work. You were sick with the virus, yes? Stark must have worked very hard to try and find you a cure. I wonder how close he came.

[Her jaw clenches a little at that but her voice remains as professional as it had been.]

Probably much closer than you would have liked.

[Oh, probably. But it's a good thing he took care of that by arranging the fire and the destruction of the research.] Then perhaps I should give him a second opportunity, maybe this time he will succeed.

What do you think?

I don't have any kind of good opinion about any of your plans.

But you do have an opinion? Or do you simply agree with Stark on everything?

Do you normally enjoy trying to provoke people?

Perhaps I do. [Well, usually just certain people.] But what makes you think I want to provoke you? I called to ask how you were.

From past experiences that tends to be how your personal calls go.

Ah, so your friends have told you everything, have they? [Actually, he mostly means Steve. Maybe Bruce, too. But probably mostly Steve.] But I cannot break from my usual pattern just to wish you well?

You'll have to excuse me if I don't believe you.

Ah, you can believe what you like. But I have my answer. You should give Stark my regards as well.

[And at that, he hangs up, wondering if she'll run to tony and tell him about the call or not..]
