"Eat up squirts"

Harley places the tray on the table and Peter and Morgan take their burgers.

"When are we getting ice cream?"

"You haven't even started eating your burger and you want ice cream?"

"Yes" Peter and Morgan answer at the same time.

"Y'all impossible. You know that"

Harley rolls his eyes "At least finish your burger before thinking about ice cream"

Morgan sticks her tounge out at him.

"Eat the burger and I'll get you two ice creams"

-ooooo-

The machine beeps softly, almost lost in the gentle rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor, indicating the scan is complete.

Shuri looks at the results and frowns.

"Wanda, come look at this"

"What is it?" she looks at the projection coming from Shuri's bracelet.

"I was right ... This is going to take a lot of work"

"But we can do it? " worry laces her question.

"Yes we can. But not here"

"We can go to Stark tower, or home" Pepper stands up, still holding Tony's hand.

"Or we go to Wakanda where I have all my equipment"

Pepper walks to where Shuri and Wanda are poring over the results.

"Wakanda?"

"Yes. It's at least 3000 times better than this place"

Pepper takes a deep breath. "Okay, Wakanda it is then." she turns around "Tony?"

There is no reply and Pepper feels her heart stop for a moment.

"He needs to sleep" Shuri looks at the monitor, "we should let him be for now"

Pepper lets out a small sigh

"I'll stay here till they get back. I can ask Happy to drop you off where every you need to be"

The unsaid 'thank you' hangs in the air that is already charged with emotion.

"That won't be necessary, but thank you, my brother is waiting for me." Shuri taps her bracelet and the equipment starts folding in on itself. "He owes me and Okoye Starbucks"

Pepper nods, "Alright. Wanda?"

"I'll wait here with you. You should get some sleep as well. You haven't been getting enough"

It's a statement, not a question and Pepper offers a weak smile.

"I haven't been able to..."

"I know. At least you have him back" the last part is almost whispered, and Wanda looks at the floor.

-ooooo-

"Harley"

"Yeah?"

Peter rolls his eyes, "Don't yeah me. What's going on?"

"Nothing?"

Morgan is intently studying the array of ice creams behind the glass.

"Harley"

Peter gives him that look and he sighs.

"It's nothing major really, I swear. Pepper's just not looking at her phone. It's unlike her, but I doubt there's anything seriously wrong. If there were she'd call?"

"Okay.. So that's half of it"

"Tony's heartbeat just sped up a lot, for a bit. It's back to normal now, or the last time I checked it was. I know its probably nothing.."

He trails off and looks at Peter "I just.."

"It's okay, I know. And I'm sure if anything were to actually happen Mrs. Stark would call us."

"The blue one!"

Morgan's triumphant declaration brings them both back to the present.

"The blue one what?"

"The blue one please?"

Peter gives her a nod and a smile.

"One double scoop of, 'the blue one' and two double scoop rocky Road please"

"That all?"

Harley nods.

"That'll be 15"

Harley exchanges the money for the ice creams and hands them to Peter. Morgan holds her arms out expectantly and he lifts her up, settling her on his shoulders once again.

Peter hands her the ice cream "Try not to drop on him... But if you happen to have a small accident I see no -"

"Don't listen to him Morgs, he's a bad influence."

"I'm offended Harley, that you could ever say something like that. And here I thought we were friends"

"He's a bad influence who will be carrying you if you drop on me"

Morgan laughs as they walk out of the shop and Peter sticks his tounge out at Harley, who very graciously returns the gesture.

-ooooo-
