Everyone turned to her, and she began. "Welcome to Avengers Tower. My name is Pepper, and I'm the CEO of Stark Industries as well as one of the three admins of the Tower. If you'll follow me, we can begin the tour."
She turned and walked to the lobby. Everyone followed, and Nikki subtly watched their reactions. "The lobby, just adjacent to the garage, serves as a place to greet visitors to the Tower, as well as many field trips and agents. Most Avengers use the staircase or elevator in the garage to get from whatever level they might be on to the garage, and occasionally the lobby."
She walked over and pressed the button on the elevator, waited for it to come down, then let everyone else on before getting on herself. "I'll be showing you the places that you need to know how to get to, but feel free to explore after the tour. There are countless recreation rooms throughout the Tower, as well as training rooms, kitchens, labs, and of course, the bedrooms."
The elevator stopped on the 40th floor, and she strode out, with the newbies and veterans in tow. "This is where the primary training room is located. It's a holodeck, but unlike the other three, this one is used exclusively for training. Each holodeck has their own storage as well as access to the storage of the others, which means that someone on Holodeck 1 – located on the 60th floor – can access a training program created on this holodeck."
They walked back to the elevator and went to the 78th floor. "This is where the personal quarters are located. There are 5 floors of bedrooms, and each can be customized according to the occupant's preference. Each room has the occupant's name over the door, so you can find someone's room easily. Occasionally, this is more a curse than a blessing." This got a chuckle from the veteran Avengers, and a couple of the Thunderbolts glanced back at them.
They walked back to the elevator again and went to the 83rd floor. They arrived in the kitchen. "This is the main kitchen since it's just a floor above the last level of bedrooms." She paused for a moment before adding, "It's also known as 'Jan's Kitchen,' so experiment with baking techniques and new recipes here at your own risk." This garnered a chuckle from Hank, and a small blush from Jan herself. Pepper turned back to the group.
"That's all the essential spots you need to know. Any questions?"
"You guys have a gym?" Atlas asked.
"Yes, several. The main one is located on the 65th floor, with the other two being on the 80th and 33rd floors," Pepper answered.
"Are we allowed to see the labs?" Meteorite asked.
"That's up to the overseers of each individual lab, but I can tell you that the tech lab is located on the 82nd floor and is over seen by Tony Stark, the biomechanics lab is on the 62nd floor and is overseen by Dr. Hank Pym, and the bio/ET lab is on the 23nd floor and is overseen by Dr. Bruce Banner. Anything else?" The question was met with murmurs of 'no,' and shaking heads. "Okay. If you do have any other questions, feel free to ask Jarvis or the other Avengers. Your rooms are all on the 73rd floor. Have fun exploring and welcome to the team."
