A/N: I'm back :) yay! Hopefully you're all still interesting in continuing with this story so here's another chapter, enjoy.
The pen on her desk was missing as were the stash of pens she kept in her bottom draw of her desk.
Bambi, Peppers secretary, could not find any of hers either.
The store closet was too without pens, which begged questioning as she was sure it had been stocked full of them yesterday.
What's more, her favourite, beautifully engraved fountain pen that her father had brought her as a 'congratulations on your new job' gift seemed to have disappeared into thin air, otherwise it had somehow sprouted legs and gone for a walk, which was of course, deemed impossible.
'It's rather peculiar,' Pepper thought 'that every single pen on this floor has simply vanished.'
She'd gone as far as pulling up yesterdays and today's security footage, with no luck, the grainy image showing no hint of a pen thief.
Without pen, Pepper could not finish off or sign any of the most recent and slightly more important paperwork that over the last few hours, (in which she had spent pen hunting), had piled up.
This was getting ridiculous.
With a frustrated sigh, she stood from her desk and headed for Tonys office.
She didn't knock.
Tony looked up as she briskly entered the room, hands on her hips, "Miss Potts," he smiled pleasantly at her, "What can I help you with?"
"Do you have a pen, Mr Stark?" she asked her eyes watching his every move like a hawk.
He patted himself down and shook his head, "Nope, sorry, someone must've borrowed it. Why? Can't you find one?"
"No" she said in a dead pan tone, "I can't, no one can!" she replied bitterly.
"Okay, well then, will that be all Miss Potts?" he said, the corner of his lips twitching slightly.
"That will be all, Mr Stark." she replied, giving him a tight smile and a small nod before leaving the room. She was positive that she'd heard the sound of childish laughter follow after her as she closed the door and headed back to her office, feeling ever so slightly confused.
What she did not expect to find on entering her office was the miniature representation of the Stark mansion made entirely from the pens she had been searching for all morning, how it got there, she didn't know.
Pepper fumed, the bastard had even added his own little flag that read 'Tony Stark is awesome!', made out of her fountain pen, the engravement of 'Virginia Potts' had been followed by another piece of paper, that had been carefully glued against the side, it read 'is not'.
She clenched and unclenched her fists before storming back into her boss's office, "Tony!"
Pepper refused her right to remain silent.
