"It's a shame so many rooms aren't used. It's always so empty here..."
*She turned to Stark again.*
"Is it the same with you?"

*He shook his head*
"My house is nowhere near like this one. Don't think I could live somewhere I'd get lost in."

"I don't think I could do that either. Not anymore, that is. The military bases I grew up on were pretty huge. All the houses looked the same so, if you didn't pay attention, you'd get lost very quickly," *she said, a tinge of nostalgia shading her voice.*

"Yeah. We were called 'Army Brats'. My dad was a pilot with the Air Force so we were sort of carted off to all these bases around the world. Didn't like moving often but the contries were interesting. Picked up bits of the languages and tried the foods..."
*Lois took a deep breath, coming out of the reverie she found herself in.*
"Your turn. Tell me something I don't know."

"Something you don't know? That might be hard--the press has dug up pretty much everything about me and my father."
*he snapped his fingers*
"All right, you can consider this on record--the rumors about me and Pepper? All bull."

*Lois shrugged and shook her head.*
"Doesn't surprise me. I've talked to her before. A few years ago, I was trying to get an interview... We didn't talk long but she seemed professional enough not to get involved with a superior let alone you."

*He snorted*
"I'm pretty sure I'd only get rolled eyes if I even tried to flirt."

"You 'flirt'?" *she said with mock surprise.*
*Lois frowned.*
"Hang on. You're telling me that you haven't made any passes at her? None? Ever?"

"Wellll...wouldn't say none...but let's just say that we've come to a mutual agreement--friends."

*Lois seemed impressed.*
"She must be a special girl for you to call her a friend and vice versa."

*He gave her a lopsided grin*
"I hope she thinks I am, or I'd have to wonder why she puts up with me."

*He raised an eyebrow at her, giving her a curious look*
"What about me is 'damaged'?"

*Lois took a moment to think.*
"Don't know," *she admitted truthfully.* "But I think there's more to you than this clean-cut, laid-back billionaire. There always is."
*Okay-- what? She was sure she didn't mean Wayne by that last sentece. Kinda.*
