Potts... Pepper Potts actually. [She's still got her back to him but hears him stand] Take it you're here to see Howard or Tony? [Because that's the only reasonable explanation since she and Rhodey are technically grounded by their parents for the whole War Machine and Rescue bit. Evil parental units!]
It's not because of Ross is it? [So hoping that Fury hasn't let him out of his cell, endangering the city like that... and Tony, and Howard and well Tony...]
Because I won't tell that you're here. Right, should I call down to the lab to let them know you're here? Because he probably caused the elevators to get stuck and well I was just answering phones for Trish while she took lunch and... I should be quiet now and let you talk shouldn't I?
Huh you know old general who's been out in the sun waaaay too long cause seriously it's melted his brains. [Though him asking has her wondering if he's okay, because well really only times he's met him have been when he was the big green guy and they really didn't talk much other than trying to get him to not smash her or Tony.]
Sixteen, Tony just turned seventeen. [wait what...] He was traveling with you when we first met. Trying to keep Hulk from getting people hurt isn't he still with you?
[the look of confusion is massive] Miss Potts... Tony Stark is probably pushing forty if I'm not mistaken. He is definitely not seventeen. I only met him properly recently.
Okayyy another time displaced then? Because I'm pretty sure Tony is seventeen and was going to the Tomorrow Academy just a few weeks ago. Or different reality... That I guess could be possible. [Doesn't sound too sure about that but hey weirder stuff has happened]
It must be, because we seem to be talking about almost two completely different fields. Intriguing, the idea of two timelines meeting. Converging, or only briefly connecting..? [gets that lost 'I wish I had a lab right now' expression]
[And Pepper knows that look. Tony gets it a lot.] And you do know the labs are about ten floors down right? [She thinks a moment.]
Which one of us do you think is displaced first of all? [Because ugh she really doesn't like the idea it's her, because that means she's there without Rhodey and Tony. Which can be a REALLY BAD THING!]
Still would have to run tests to find out. [She thinks] Well not like you're going to end up telling everyone where the armory is, and pretty sure Tony's there.
Considering Tony's been letting me run through the Tower with an open pass -- it's the monument slash house he's built for himself towering over New York City -- I doubt I will either. [faint smile] If we can find him, I'm up all over it, otherwise... some proper clothing might be in order.
Huh... Right. [Blush] Though this isn't wait... He has a penthouse in the Tower? They have a place over in Manhattan I know that, but... Right hm, clothes first. Sorry.

The woman working with Tony... well, the brains behind the entire operation I'm fairly cure.

And well hm, I'm one of his friends and kinda working with him. Rhodey's got more experience in that department.
