"Vanko?" She furrowed her brow and looked up at a clock instinctively. She was a clock watcher, it was one of the reasons she didn't wear a watch "Look kid I gotta go-"

Tony sighed and closed the file. He'd go over it later, when he didn't feel like he'd just gotten over the flu.
"He's just trying to goad me."
Tony glanced over at the clock.
"And I'm gonna make you late, looks like."

She smiled "If I didn't show up late I wouldn't be the future Mrs. Stark would I?" She walked over and kissed him gently on the forehead "Jarvis?"
"Yes mam?"
"If he passes out again, do not hesitate to notify me, Rhodey and 911, you understand?"
"It would be my pleasure."
"And Tony, if you are semi conscious and even think about uttering a override code I will be so angry at your funeral you have no clue."

"Aww, you just take all the fun out of being a tech genius," he said, giving her a kiss.
"Fine, I'll play it safe, for once. Go knock 'em dead."
(("knock 'em dead" used for maximum irony))

She clenched "I'm sure I will" she touched his cheek and headed off.

"Well," he said after she'd gone. "I guess today's a boring day."

**FAST-FORWARD TO AFTER THE SCENE AT THE MUSEUM** Tony stared at the TV, utterly frozen. He'd known, about Jess' past, about the other personality that had taken her over years ago and gotten into a fight with Batman. But she'd beaten it, or it'd seemed that way to him. Yet now, he was watching as the ten o'clock news practically ran a marathon on the recent happenings at the museum. The Queen was back, which meant that his fiancee was, for all intents and purposes, locked away. That was not Jess that he saw on the news footage. Jess never had that inhuman look in her eyes, or that disregard, or... She was not a murderer.An incoherent rage threatened to rise up and overtake him. This wasn't like what he'd faced before. His previous enemy had been an entirely separate person, but this time...the one he wanted to rage at was also inhabiting the body of the last person on earth he'd ever do harm to. He had...he had to do something...he wasn't just Tony Stark, after all, but also Iron Man. "Jarvis." Tony said quietly. "Sir?" The A.I. clearly sounded unsure. "Do you still have the contact number for Bruce Wayne? It's time he and I had another chat." "Yes, sir. "

Pepper had also seen the news. Unlike Tony, however, she hadn't known that Jess and Popplus inhabited the same body. She'd thought they were separate people, that Jess had been saddled with some kind of evil twin. What's more, she also noted the appearance of Captain America, Loki, and Lex Luthor all in the mix. She'd been doing her reading, and keeping up on other superheroes (and their nemesis), and she wondered if them all being there had been a coincidence or spoke of something else.
She immediately grabbed the phone to call Tony, but no matter how long she let it ring for, she got no answer. Finally, she got Jarvis on the line.
"Jarvis! Where is he? This is urgent!"
"I apologize for the wait Miss Potts, but Mr. Stark is...not available at the moment."
The hesitation in the A.I.'s voice just made her worry shoot straight up. Something was terribly wrong if the normally unflappable Jarvis was sounding unsure.
"Not avaialbe how? Where is he?"
There was a pause before Jarvis answered.
"Ah...he's gone to a meeting with Bruce Wayne."
Pepper blinked. Bruce Wayne? Why would Tony want to see him? Wayne hated him, and there always seemed to be an underlying jealousy about Tony and Jess making it and Wayne and Jess not working out. It didn't make any sense, especially considering what was going on right now. If Tony rushed out anywhere, it would be to investigate the museum situation. Unless Tony knew something she didn't. Unless...
"Wayne's another vigilante, isn't he?"
"I can't say one way or another."
Pepper knew what that meant. It was Jarvis evasive-speak for "yes."
"Thanks, Jarvis. Keep holding down the fort, all right?"
"As always, Miss Potts."
After she hung up, she stared at the phone for a moment. Chasing Tony down wouldn't do any good, especially since to the outside world she had no earthly reason for rushing over to Wayne Manor. All of this, and she was sure that he didn't know that Ivan Vanko had resurfaced recently only to disappear again with a lot of high-tech Hammer hardware. Sighing, she grabbed her phone again and sent a text to Tony's cell.
Try not to kill each other.
