A/N: You heard the line, and it intrigued you as much as it intrigued me.

Enjoy.

"Hey Jarvis, what's the news today?" Pepper asked, shuffling through pages on her desk. "Anything interesting?"

"Well, Ms Potts, there is turmoil in Parliament as an esteemed Senator has backed down, a new vaccine has been developed in China, thirteen men have died in a shooting on the East coast, a tornado has caused three million dollars worth in damages, but thankfully no deaths, and Mr. Stark has again been filmed naked."

Pepper froze.

"Headlines being: 'Tony Caught Stark Naked!', 'Iron Man? Man Enough!', 'Stark's Naked Romp. Well...Rump', 'Tony Chases Underdaks-Thieving Dog', 'Billionaire Brandishes Weapon', 'Man's Best Friend? Stark Naked Tony Thinks Not', 'It's Happened Again-"

"I think that's quite enough, Jarvis. Um, thank you."

"Would you like to hear the full story, Ms Potts?"

Pepper debated for a minute.

"Okay, Jarvis. I'd better know the facts."

"The Times says, 'Ex-weapons manufacturer Tony Stark was caught with his pants down both figuratively and literally yesterday morning. Sprinting STARK naked outside his Malibu home, Tony was seen chasing his pet dog, known as Whiskey, with what appeared to be underwear in its mouth. It seems as though the pooch had stolen the billionaire's underthings as he dressed and run off with them. In the heat of the moment, Tony chased after him, apparently forgetting his current state of undress. Our reporters, stationed outside waiting for word on the new controversial 'protective weapons', captured the remarkable scene with their cameras, and it is available to see on our website.'"

"Oh my god."

"Since this was published, the video has become an internet sensation, and is to be found on 203 websites."

"Oh my god."

"Numerous stills have cropped up everywhere. The story has been reproduced in over 300 papers across the world, and it gathers 67 000 hits on well-known search engines."

"Oh my god. This is nearly as bad as the Easter fiasco."

"Not to mention the Greensfield Dash, Thong, Christmas Crackers, Backside Boxing Day, Covers DeClothing, Paris, Singapore Strip, Sydney, Juliet, DollarPants, Lonbum, and Wilde dramas."

"Oh no. They're going to call it 'Dogdaks'. I just know they are."

A/N2 ...I think my favourite headline is 'Billionaire Brandishes Weapon'. Tell me yours?
