"She's right, you have to give yourself some credit. Stark Tower is your baby. Give yourself... twelve percent of the credit." Tony left the two of them to make his way towards the champagne they had pulled out just for this.

When Tony turned around to face Pepper and Kagome, he furrowed his brows slightly at Kagome's hissing and the quick hand motions she directed towards him from behind Pepper's shoulder. Though when he handed her a half-filled glass, he could only quirk a brow when she instantly stopped all motions and wore an overly bright smile as she accepted it.

One of Pepper's brows raised in question. "Twelve percent?"

"An argument can be made for fifteen." Tony was quick to return his attention to Pepper, as well as give her an answer.

"Twelve percent for my baby?" Pepper's head cocked to the side lightly, giving him a pointed look.

"Well, I did do all the heavy lifting. Literally, I lifted the heavy things. And sorry, but the security snafu? That was on you." he made sure to point towards her directly, quickly taking a sip from his glass of champagne.

"Oooooh!"

Kagome turned away, playing the part of one more interested in the view outside the window rather than taking any sides in this little... disagreement.

"My private elevator."

"You mean our elevator?"

"It was teeming with sweaty workmen. I'm going to pay for that comment about percentages in some subtle way later on, aren't I?" he glanced towards his daughter, pursing his lips slightly when all she offered was an apologetic smile and shrug of her shoulders.

"Not gonna be that subtle." Pepper's eyes narrowed playfully on him, smirking the entire time.

"I'll tell you what. Next building is gonna say 'Potts' on the tower."

"On the lease."

This time it was Tony's turn to suck in a hissing breath. "Call your mom, can you bunk over?"

When he turned his attention back to Kagome, she offered a sheepish smile. "I tried to warn you?"

Oh, he'd be getting her back for leaving him to hang like that.

AN: So... chapters are kinda going to be longer-ish. Not all of them, but more or less like this. And yes, to answer the many that asked, the story will now revolve around the movie plot. So I hope you're ready to see some Avernger action... with Kagome to spice things up! Read, enjoy, and review.
