WHO: Pepper and Cole
WHERE: Outside the Porter building
WHEN: Backdated to Monday
WARNINGS: sob Tony sob
SUMMARY: Pepper is back! Tony is gone. Cole gets to tell her. REACTION.
FORMAT: quicklog



[ Pepper runs her fingers through her hair and straightens her suit for what has to be the tenth time. The pit of her stomach is still connected to the nauseous knot in her throat, two days' worth of overcaffeination and worry about her husband and employer layered unhappily over this startling new development.

She hates that her reaction to stepping out of the Porter wasn't fear or anxiety or dread. Just annoyance, stress, and a dull sensation of great, this again.

In her life, it's always been one thing after the other. Combing her fingers through her hair again, she scrunches her eyes shut against her growing headache.

Think, Pep. Tony's still here. Everything is going to be okay. ]

[He looks at her straight in the eye. He's told people these kind of things before. But just because he knew what to do didn't mean he liked it.]

Tony's dead.

[ her expression doesn't change ]

No.

I'm sorry, this is the only "sad' icon I have.

[Neither did his. He didn't say anything--just looked back at her with that same, solemn expression.]
