This was so shocking; the similarity to Adrian's own penthouse was unmistakable, but outside of the whole obviously-a-rich-genius-lives-here aspect the decor could not have been more different. And Adrian's place seemed more inviting, and was actually much colder. Adrien smiled, but it seemed a little forced, though that could have easily been shyness.

"Mam" he reached out and took her hand, shaking it gently.

Adrien tottered in after him and stayed just behind his side.
He had no idea how much they really looked like dates, instead of just friends.

She smiled and turned herself sideways to open the penthouse to them "It's just going to be the five of us tonight, our other guests cancelled, which mind you doesn't happen often, but when it does, there's a buffet of food."

Adrien peeped up at Steve, wanting to see what move he took.

Further inside, Tony was now working on one of his many projects on the laptop, which was a lot more surreptitious than the more flashy holographic display of the main room computer.

"Are you seriously working at a party? Cut that out," Pepper chided him.

"Well that's just fine with me" he replied glad to hear it "I'm not a big party guy anyway" he placed his hand absently on Adrien's back and ushered him along with him.
As they came further in, Steve caught sight of Tony, tapping along on a laptop. He knew what a laptop was, as the Professor had sent him one. He took it out of the box, but that's as far as it went.

Jess came around Steve and frowned, even if it was followed with a smirk.
"Tony, pumpkin-" she caught her laugh in her throat "-Steve's here."

Adrien was not sure what exactly to do. Pepper, though he did not know her, seemed like the most familiar thing in the room - he recognized the perfume she was wearing and he had certainly dealt with suited secretaries before with Adrian, having technically been to Micaela what Melissa, rest her soul, had been to Adrian, in spite of zero training and doing absolutely nothing but nod and listen as Micaela spoke mile-a-minute about her training, studying, and Dan Dreiburg's fantastic ass.

Tony blinked up from what he'd been staring at on the screen, for a split second looking lost. The expression quickly shifted back to his easygoing one of earlier, and he grinned at the new arrivals.
"Yeah, sorry, was trying to sneak some work in. Come in, sit down, grab a plate."
Quickly resolving what he was working on, he closed the laptop.

"Hello!" Pepper said, smiling at Steve and Adrien.
"It's nice to finally meet you."
Pepper actually didn't know much about Adrien aside from rumors, but Pepper hated rumors and was more likely to give them a tongue-lashing than pass them along or believe them.
In any case, she included Adrien in her greeting because she was a guest, too, and to ignore her would be rude.

Jess went over and began pouring out two more flutes of champagne for Adrien and Steve.

"Hi!" she said, with a quick handwave, perking up when she saw the champagne and gliding towards it.
"Oooh. Ssank you."
