Sorry, I have to go now. If you want to plot, just ask me.

Obadiah shrugged his shoulders. "You didn't have to know about the suit. You know what they say, Pepper. Ignorance is bliss."

Pepper sighed, and moved to go to her desk. “So, you’re saying, that if I had just not done anything with what I found out, you wouldnt have came after me? You would just expect me to stand around and watch my best friend get killed?”

[perfiduslupus]

"Not that I know of, Maria. And please, call me Obi."

          “I know, mi dispiace— Obadiah, did anything happen in Switzerland?” 

[perfiduslupus]

"Hm, that's not what my sources tell me, Anthony."

"None of your business. But y’know, old models wear out"

[perfiduslupus]

"I always liked you, Pepper. I enjoyed your company and despite what you think, I didn't want to involve you."

"That doesn’t help you at all, just saying" 

[perfiduslupus]

"Simply making conversation, Maria."

+perfiduslupus

          “Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to—” 

[perfiduslupus]

"Bringing back too many bad memories huh? I see you updated the arc reactor. What happened to the old one?"

"Get out"

"I don’t want you here"

[perfiduslupus]

"Not my problem. Really."

"That doesn’t help you at all, just saying" 

[perfiduslupus]

"How is Tony? Still as bright as ever?"

+perfiduslupus

          “I am glad to hear—”

[perfiduslupus]

"Well thank my lucky stars."

"Don’t say anything. Really, just don’t"

"You’re lucky you’re still standing"

[perfiduslupus]

"Oh definitely. We got the deal that we needed. I'd call that a success."

+perfiduslupus

       ”If you say so— anyway, how are things in general? I hear that trip to Switzerland was one of success—?” 

[perfiduslupus]

"Well, what can I say?"

"Actually, I should thank you. If you hadn’t ordered that hit on me I would still be a lonely, almost alcoholic, womaniser, who still was just a boy"

[perfiduslupus]

"I know, I know Maria. Ezekiel will be fine."

+perfiduslupus

          “I know, but— you know how it is.”

[perfiduslupus]

"Ezekiel's fine. You know what boys are like, Maria. Boys will be boys."

+perfiduslupus

          “Don’t tell me what I already know— per favore, sit down. How is Ezekiel? Mi dispiace about Anthony the other day—”

[perfiduslupus]

"Of course I cared, Anthony. You just knew too much. You tried to act like the big man but you're still just a boy. Throwing his toys out of the pram."

"Sure you are, just like you cared about how I was before, right?"

"Get out, and crawl back down whatever hole you crawled out of"

[perfiduslupus]

"I wanted to see how the prodigal son was."

"Not really, they’re just easier to defeat with the better suits"

"Why are you here?"

[perfiduslupus]

"Thank you."

"I've tried to tell him to get out of the workshop once in a while but he won't listen. Stubborn ass."

+perfiduslupus

           ”I’m glad. One day he’ll learn— here you go~”
