The City's been busy again.

I certainly hope there are no incriminating photos of me falling out there. If there are, I would appreciate it if you contacted me ...discreetly.

I have photos of Bucky, the Doctor-- the, uh, bow tie one-- Thor, Steve, and Harry. Do let me know if you would like them back.

[ There's a pause, and a bored sigh. ]

There was one of you too, Tony, but it was nothing I haven't seen before so I threw it away.

Y'got anything juicy on Barnes? And I'm tempted to ask what you've seen'a Tony, but I've got more manners than that.

[threeolives]

Nothing juicy, unless you somehow count sniper rifles as juicy.

And the Tony thing is nothing too interesting, nothing that millions of people back home haven't already seen on TV. Just him being a showman.

[latenightfondue]

Depends. Does it got the Stark name on it? [ He waggles his eyebrows. ]

I've seen him in a suit, it's something to write home about.

[threeolives]

I dunno, I couldn't tell from the picture. [ She pointedly ignores the eyebrow waggling. ] Knowing the company's history, though, I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Not that suit. Your standard black tie getup.

[latenightfondue]

Good to know the name lives on, even if I don't. Without Stark weapons, the good guys never would've stood a chance.

What the two'a you do in your own time ain't none of my bushiness, sweetheart.

[ Pepper decides not to tell Howard about Tony's change of heart re: the weapons side of SI. Something tells her nonviolent solutions weren't exactly on people's radar in the 1940's. ]

Oh no. No no no no. Not our business, Stark business. Stark Expo, to be exact.

[latenightfondue]

Y'mean you work with him back where you're from and ain't just - [ Even Howard knows when to stop himself. Sometimes. ] - his female friend.
