Stark Industries [Tuesday]

Given that Pepper was almost adjusting to the town -- almost -- she'd decided she ought to actually try to see about getting the remainder of her things here.

So, Tuesday afternoon found her working on her laptop in the shop and making arrangements to ship the remainder of what she'd left in Malibu. It was a nice distraction from the still-plummeting stock.

"Pepper, make an appointment with the board," Tony said, breezing past her.

"I have a phone to pitch. Higher signal range." Space high. "I think NASA might also be interested so send them the specs Jarvis has uploaded on the main server."

A beat.

"And it's name isn't debatable."

He was sighing on the inside.

"The Butterfly," He muttered, going for the coffee. There wasn't enough in the world to make up for that.

"One of my employees designed the improvements and named it," He said, like that was just the end of the subject. "I altered the aesthetic to look like one as well."

"Send NASA--" He inhaled, downing the coffee in one go. "--the specs on the boosted signal first," Tony replied. "Let them contact the Board about the technology."

"I'm sure they will be. But it'll bring us a job that will help make up for the millions lost with the military contracts."

A beat.

"And leak to the press that I have security software in the works that will make The Pentagon green with envy. That I have no problem selling to the military."

"Send out feelers for that one." He looked around for a moment, thinking something over. "Call Rhodey to pitch it."

Tony nodded, looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. "Suggestions, Miss Potts?"

"You can try to talk Kaylee out of the name," Tony said, waving his hands as if it was a minor detail. "She works on Friday."

"I'd assumed so." A beat. "We can always say that was an unknown element in the design," Tony suggested.

Yes, he'd looked it over. And been too amused to edit.

"She's from the future for one," Tony replied. "And-- Have you met her?"

"She's not the suing type. Trust me."
