"How do you figure that?"
"Hmmm, call it a hunch." even she herself couldn't explain it.
It wasn't like she could actually sense anything from it, it was more like a static discharge. The one Tony had on him personally, felt like she would be near getting a static shock, this one... nothing.
"Do you base a lot on such, hunches?"
"Nope. Mostly instinct. Hasn't left me wrong in a long time. I've learned the head can lead to indecision."
Tony raised a brow at her answer, as she continued to take the reactor before her in. He was about to comment on that, when a secretary made her way towards them.
Her momentary glance towards Kagome was not lost on him, but her attention was back on him, and she wasn't looking... healthy.
"Mr. Stark, Mr. Nishikawa has requested that a meeting be set up between the two of you."
Ah, no wonder the woman looked the way she did. That man was ruthless, a real cut throat in the business world. In fact, Tony was pretty sure, in all his dealings with the man, he had never smiled once.
The man was easily annoyed when women tried to throw themselves at him, tried to keep public relations to a minimum. At first he thought the man a stiff prude, or gay, but since he and Pepper got together, he sort of understood. That didn't stop him from appreciating what the women that still threw themselves at him had. But he realized that was changing too, now that he had Kagome in his life as well.
AN: Tony has a thoughtful moment which he looks back upon his life, while also taking a crack at another man! Typical Tony! :3 Read, enjoy, and review!
