Her words managed to bring both of them back to the matter at hand, causing Pepper's curiosity to perk up at the small black folder, even more so as Tony uploaded all that it held.
"What is all this?" Pepper was unable to take her eyes away from everything now displayed.
"This is uh..." with a flick of his hand he spread the profiles of all the other Avengers on to different screens. "This."
At that point, Kagome also got up and moved to their side, wondering what exactly was so important. Tony took a brief look at her over his shoulder, turning a little more towards Coulson already sensing as he was about to protest.
"She has just as much right as I do."
Once she made it to their side, Kagome could only blink at the various profiles that were shown, her eyes flying over them. A man during what she could tell was World War 2. A scientist turning into... something large and green, rather painfully. Two agents taking enemy fire with a small handgun and a... bow? The archer caught her interest and she began to read his profile in more detail.
"I'm going to take the jet to D.C.. Tonight." Pepper's voice was barely audible, apparently overwhelmed with what she was seeing.
"Tomorrow." though Tony had other ideas if his quick response was any indication.
"You have homework. You have a lot of homework." Pepper couldn't tear her eyes away from all the files that were displayed.
"Well, what if I didn't?" Tony was now concentrating his complete attention on Pepper, rather than the screen before him.
"If you didn't?" His statement finally managing to tear her eyes away from the screen, Pepper turned to Tony with a raised brow and smile.
"Yeah."
"You mean if you finished?" At his nod, Pepper smirked and pulled him closer to her to whisper something into his ear. Kagome was far too distracted to even pay attention; Phil on the other hand turned away, slightly embarrassed.
Tony's eyes widened briefly at the end before settling his attention on Pepper alone. "Square deal. It's a date."
Kagome rolled her eyes; only one offer from Pepper could make him agree with her so quickly, and frankly, she didn't even want to think about it.
"Work hard." With that, Pepper kissed him and made her way towards the elevator, but not without saying her farewells to Kagome as well and asking for a ride from Phil.
Phil gave her a nod as they stepped into the elevator. "I can do that. Now about the young woman."
Tony grumbled under his breath, but eased up slightly when Kagome gave him a slight nudge to the side. "Explain to me this 'Avengers' thing?"
AN: Monday is finally done. So here's an update! Read, enjoy, and review!
