brows furrow and lips purse in obvious displeasure at the suggestion, but the expression only lasts a fraction of a second,  blink and you’d miss it entirely.         ❝ i tell you i’m stepping back and you want a personal story ?    please tell me you see the irony of that. ❞        though not explicitly stated, there’s an edge to tony’s words that belies one simple thing :  it’s not gonna happen.  iron man has been through a lot over the years, but this ?   this nearly broke him entirely.  it’s not open to discussion and dissection by the general public.  end of story.       ❝ how ‘bout stark industries ? ❞        the proverbial olive branch extends.        ❝ an inside look into how we will temporarily pivot all resources towards helping people rebuild their lives.  one year of nothing but humanitarian aid from clean up to counseling. ❞

     christine’s main reason behind saying such a thing is that the public doesn’t want to hear that tony is stepping back . . . that iron man is taking a break , for lack of a better phrase . they will be afraid ; they will feel abandoned . granted , it is not on tony to comfort everyone , but the blonde wants him to realize that every action has a consequence , even if said action is put forth with the best intentions . she sighs , lips pursed ever so slightly at his initial response to her . christine doesn’t mean to be cruel or insensitive , but sometimes those words ( and others like them ) come along with being realistic .     “ i think . . . that if the public knows you aren’t giving up on them or leaving them to fend for themselves , ”     though that isn’t what tony is doing , period , that is how others will see it .     “ i think this could work in our favor . but understand this , tony , the public does not want to hear what you’re going to say . they will feel betrayed , in a way , even if you’re still around . they will be selfish , and you will pay for that . ”     being in the media for so long , dealing with the good and bad in people on a daily basis , christine perhaps knows better than anyone else all that will come of this interview .

I underestimated how much he cares about you. He’s given me everything I need.

❝ AND I TRUST THAT you will be discrete with your reporting, to avoid bringing more difficulty into our lives. ❞

     “ depends -- are you saying this as a friend , or are you threatening me ? ”     christine isn’t the type to make trouble with anyone , especially someone with abilities far beyond her own , but she also won’t allow someone to intimidate her without a fair reason . she’s more than willing to back down from something , but again , she needs a reason .

          “WELL, CELL PHONES ARE NICE.” The blonde begins. “Easier to get in contact with people. Though I still get made fun of because I have an outdated model. Computers are helpful.” Head bobs along with the list of technology he finds to be the best.

     all understandable answers , truly , and all she saw coming .     “ what phone do you have , if you don’t mind me asking ? ”     her head tilts , the question genuine .     “ computers are definitely a gift . not sure what i’d do if i didn’t have a laptop to carry around with me for all the stories i have to keep up with . ”

Pep pauses for a moment. “Well, I wasn’t planning on sitting in on the interview, but I suppose we could do it together … Then I could talk about what the Stark Relief Foundation has been doing, too.” She should give a statement soon anyway about their clean-up efforts in Sokovia. “What do you think, Ms. Everhart? Does that work for you?”

     she can’t help but to smile just a little bit now , a single brow lifting as christine then nods .     “ it does indeed , miss potts . when are you wanting us to have this meeting ? and would you prefer i provide you with the questions i plan to ask before the interview ? ”     she doesn’t wish to catch tony or pepper off guard with anything she might ask .

❛          feeling nervous is not part           of my emotional spectrum.      mantis could back that up if she were here…         ❜         there’s a bitterness to his voice as it trails off.     he almost wishes he could hide that along with everything else lodged under his chest.         ❛          i’d be so much more fun for ya if we met under different circumstances.         ❜         he admits     &     tries to turn things around.     he cannot feel like himself when his team is dust.          ❛          maybe we could have a second,     kind of casual     interview over a few drinks after everyone is back.     you in for it     ?          ❜

     perhaps she’s gotten ahead of herself , her timing ill in requesting this meeting . maybe she can even get to know star - lord as a person instead of as an assignment . . . it might help them both in the long run .     “ i’d be willing -- promise we’ll make it happen ? ”     read : promise they’ll all come back ? christine may not be overly close to those that they’ve lost , but with the superheroes of this world and others gone , a new level of fear has settled over earth . it is not a comfortable feeling , and for once she is afraid for the universe’s future .

     she’s getting somewhere ; christine is quite skilled at pushing the right buttons .     “ then let’s speak in theoreticals , shall we ? say it were happy hogan , could you confirm that he’s okay ? how are things looking for him ? again , theoretically speaking . ”

   ❝Thank you… ma'am.❞ Clammy hands press together tightly as brown gaze studies blue. Relax, relax Pete, s’ fine. The teen wants so badly to trust her, believe she’s on his side. ❝I– I um,❞ Carefully masking the edge in his voice, Peter offers a fleeting smile. ❝S’ really– really nice to hear, ‘specially after– after everything, y’know?❞ 

As the kid attempts to gather himself, head tilts with sudden curiosity, ❝Wait, wait… How’d you– how’d you know?❞ 

     her purpose is to make peter trust her , but not for any personal or cruel gain for herself and the network she represents . no , even christine everhart has her limits and lines that she will not cross . peter parker is , in the eyes of the law , a child ; j . jonah has made a move he’ll come to regret , and she’ll make sure of it .     “ i can only imagine . ”     the blonde tries to comfort , gaze falling to her hands in her lap as a question is posed . sighing , she looks back up at peter .     “ the only reason i’m here right now , speaking with you , is because i called tony first . i knew he had to know something about this whole shit storm , if you will , and i wasn’t wrong . if it makes you feel any better , tony actually wanted me to talk to you , assuming you were fine with it as well . ”

a  newsfront  worked  ,        placed  her  right  into  the  limelight  .  the  progression  made  sense  ;  she  always  dug  her  nose  in  ,  eager  to  capture  the  essence  of  a  story  .        ❛        takes  some  serious  cojones  to  up  and  quit  your  job  like  that  .        ❜        perhaps  that  hadn’t  been  quite  the  right  word  but  as  he  gave  her  a  nod  ,  whatever  feud  they  seemed  to  be  having  from  years  ago  had  fallen  apart  since  then  .

     “ you know me ; i’ve got balls when it matters most . ”     she’ll chuckle , shrugging as if it’s nothing . in truth , to christine , it is nothing .     “ what can i do for you , tony ? we both know this isn’t just a friendly meeting ; i’m not sure if you and i are capable of having just a friendly meeting . ”     while they both may have moved on from their past , they’ve also never gathered together as anything more than colleagues .
