Felicity had made it just in time and could see Tony waiting by the door frame as she pulled up in her car.
"Better late than never kiddo," he said, pulling her into a hug the moment she got out of the car.
"What can I say, not all of us can fly in an iron suit from A to B." Felicity smirked at Tony, going round the back of her car and grabbing her suitcase. "Are you sure it's going to be okay for me to stay?"
"What's the point of having all this money if you can't enjoy it." He replied, opening the door to her room and placing her suitcase on the bed, "a press conference has been called for today. I will come meet you back here in half hour." Tony went to leave the room and as he got to the door, he turned back and looked at Felicity, "Thanks again."
Felicity smiled at him, watching him leave the room. She sighed, being back here was just something different for her. She had spent years avoiding being part of the Stark name. Her and Tony were close, in fact she was like a miniature version of him just in the female form. Felicity couldn't help but sigh as she opened her suitcase to find something presentable for this press conference, she picked out a blue dress and heels and placed it carefully on the bed and went into the bathroom to shower.
Felicity had finished getting ready when there was a knock on her door, she slipped on her shoes and opened the door. There was Tony in a shirt and trousers, "oh good you're ready, I thought I'd still be waiting." Felicity stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"No, its just you that makes people wait. If I recall it wasn't that long ago you were four hours late for your own flight." This caused Tony to laugh at her statement,
"How can you technically be late if you own the plane?"
Felicity quickened her pace to keep up with Tony, her high heels were a bad choice. She forgot how quickly he walked. She saw a group of people looking at her and Tony as they walked by a meeting room which just had glass walls around it. She watched as Tony saluted to them with two fingers.
"So glad to see that they are able to continue working when I leave them be," Felicity could tell Tony was rolling his eyes.
"Who were they?" Felicity asked, turning her attention back to Tony.
"You know the greatest superhero team on the world. The Avengers….minus iron man currently." It was Felicity's turn to roll her eyes, "don't think I didn't catch you rolling your eyes there kiddo."
Felicity and Tony entered the press conference room and the press that were waiting for Tony cheered as he entered. Tony worked the crowd as Felicity stood at the back of the room. Tony hushed the room, "So its been a while since I've been in front of you," Tony started, "normally Miss. Potts would be doing this, but she is currently on a leave of absence and I would like to take this opportunity to announce that Felicity Stark will be covering as CEO of Stark International." Tony gestured over to where she was standing, she took this moment to smile and walk towards the podium.
"Lets get this party started," Felicity smiled, "Any questions?"
After the press conference, Felicity followed Tony. "I need a drink," she said as she let down her hair so it was out of that stuffy bun.
"Me too," Tony responded, "Lets go." They walked past the conference room and the group of people from earlier were still there. She watched as a 6ft man with blonde hair stepped out,
"Tony, we –" Felicity watched as Tony interrupted him,
"Not now gramps," Tony then gestured to felicity, "I have an important business, can you not see that I am entertaining." Tony then turned his attention back to Felicity "now let's get shit faced." Felicty observed the reaction from the blonde man as Tony started to walk off, this caused Felicty to laugh.
"Two things, firstly, I will be coming back to find out why he calls you gramps being that your half his age." Felicty started as she started walking away.
"What's the second thing.." She could hear the blonde guy shouting out
"I apologise for whatever state he comes home in." She shouted out as she now slid her heels off and started jogging to catch up with Tony. She could feel the people in the conference room now watching her.
