"Tony?" She shouted looking around for Tony as she peaked around the dog before looking at the view.

"Tony," She asked again until seeing a different room with a touchpad. Trying to open it she was alerted to a robotic voice startling her.

"Thot detected! You are not authorized in this area please remove your self," The robotic voice announced.

"Jesus," She shouted.

"That's Jarvis he runs the entire house, I've got your clothes here. They've been dry-cleaned and pressed, and there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go." A voice from behind announced.

"Oh, so you must be the legendary Pepper Potts." Christine Everhart remarked.

"After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning," She teased.

"I do what Tony Starks requires me tod may it be picking up and dry cleaning along with my other additional duties of throwing out the trash your caps outside. Here are your clothes toodles," She shot back before walking towards Tony's room.

"Authroive granted perfect match made in heaven hurry up and marry," Jarvis cheered.

"Oh, Jarvis, stop it," Pepper sighed before opening the door to see Tony working on the car and seeing a necklace.

"Tony never thought you were a religious man, after all, you've been through," She asked confused looking at the diamond necklace of the cross with pink diamonds quite the expensive taste in jewelry.

"Never thought you were into jewelry. You bought it?" She asked again.

"Please don't turn off my music. No, I, was gifted it and no I'm not religio-... Wait... You can see it?" Tony answered as he shot up.

"Of course what do you think I'm blind its a gold crossed necklace with pink diamond-embellished into it all across how could I miss it when it's hanged over your neck this whole time," She replied confused as if it was the most obvious question in the world.

"That's strange no one has been able to see it for years. I thought I was just crazy," Tony stated as if flabergasted.

"Well, Never mind the jewelry and your mental health you're supposed to be halfway around the earth right now," Pepper lectured.

"How'd she take it?" She asked.

"She took it like a champ though she could work more on her endurance. She had to take a few breaks," Tony sneered as he continued to work on his car.

"Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?" He continued.

"Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago." She reprimanded.

"That's funny, I thought with it being my plane and all, that it would just wait for me

to get there. Doesn't it kind of defeat the whole purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?" He replied as cranked the wheel.

"before I get you out of the door." Pepper paused him.

"We just found out your father's father bought a piece of land in Antarctica back with a church resting on top of it have any idea or plans for it? Yes or no?" She asked.

"Wait fathers' father? Why haven't I heard of him?" Tony asked confused.

"Well we just found out today hasn't been touched in years they said. They haven't gone inside they just found the joint and told us," Peppers replied.

"Say what was the name of my fathers' father?" Tony questioned as he leaned on his as he scratched his chin.

"They said his name was John Cane Blazkowicz adopted father of Howard Anthony Walter Stark guess adopting children was a thing in your family," She chuckled before handing him a folder containing a picture of the abandoned church.

"Rumer says the Doom slayer lurks inside though those are only rumors," She informed.

"Quite the church beside who the h.e.l.l is the Doom slayer he some folklore or something?" Tony questioned still confused about the many questions now flooding his head. Just who was his father really.

"Hmm. Quit all appointment I'm gonna go there A.S.A.P," Tony commanded himself before being stopped by pepper herself.

"Now, Now cowboy. The rodeo isn't there. You promised Rhody you would be at the showcase to showcase your weaponry come on now I don't want you to be disappointing Rhody and me. This could help that the army needs to end the war now hurry now that planes still waiting for you," She Lectured.

"Fine but after all this, I'm gonna have plans with you and go see that church," He d.a.m.nded.

"I already have plans on my birthday," She replied.

"You know I hate it when you have plans beside it's your birthday?" Tony asked dazed.

"Yes surprise, surprise it's on the same day. Quite shocking hmm." She replied sarcastically.

"Get something nice for me," He replied.

"Already have," She smiled giving him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you Miss Potts," He replied dazed before drinking the cup and walking off dazed.

***

Getting off the plane I couldn't help but feel a little sober maybe another drink could help but I had my sights on other things. Right now isn't the right moment. Stepping down the stairs I saw soldiers and commanders or lined up in front of me with sticks up their a.s.sess so high their backs felt like it had to be up straight every moment. Guys probably needed a drink. A perfect moment after my presentation.

"Welcome Mr. Stark I look forward to your weapon presentation," The general spoke his face full of enthusiasm.

(Minutes Later)

"Is it better to be feared or respected I say, is it too much to ask for both? With that in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of Stark Industries' Freedom Line. It's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary-repulsor technology." I listed.

"They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it. That's how America does it. And it's worked out pretty well so far." I continued.

"Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee you the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves." I pointed out.

"For your consideration, the Jericho I'll be throwing one of these in with every purchase of 500 million or more. To peace!" I pointed toward the suitcase filled with drinks.

"Tony?" Obie questioned

"Obie, what are you doing up?" I asked

"I couldn't sleep until I found out how it went. How'd it go?" He questioned.

"It went great. Looks like it's gonna be an early Christmas." I snickered.

"Hey! Way to go, my boy! I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" He replied.

"Why aren't you wearing those pajamas I got you?" I asked looking a bit down.

"Good night, Tony." He stated before hanging up.
