hahah! she just wants to see Tony's chest.. who wouldnt?

Tony Stark was acutely aware of how people's treatment of him had changed since he came out as the heroic Iron Man. He had expected things to differ. He was a superhero, after all. Techinically, a sort of demigod among men but the heightened attention and flattery was instead replaced with hooded glances, whispers behind lips shielded by hands. It was almost as if people were afraid of him. This wasn't what he expected and it wasn't what he wanted. He had a plan, though.

"Your plan is flawed," Pepper Potts told him as she followed him into the airport.

"And how is that, Pepper?" He smiled kindly at a passerby who was clearly gawking at him. The man turned away without a hint of a grin. He rubbed the back of his neck and griped, "You'd think I kicked one of Brangelina's kids or something."

Pepper smiled softly for a moment and then told him, "I applaud what you are doing, really, I do. I think it is good that you have eschewed your private jet to travel with everyone else. But-"

"No buts," Tony told her, shaking his head. "I am travelling with the masses. Tony Stark is traveling commercially! I am giving up the luxury of my private jet equipped with all the amenities of a freaking house."

"Tony-"

"There is a burrito machine in that jet, Pepper. Did you hear me? A burrito machine."

"Tony, all I am saying is that your flying first class might not be the best way to reconnect with the public."

He looked at her with an incredulous look. "Well, what else would I fly?"

"Business," she told him. "Or coach."

He laughed loudly and told her, "You're funny, Pepper. Do you know that? A natural comedian."

"Business is not a ridiculous thought," she told him soberly. "Coach would be a bit of a shock for you. All they get are a bag of peanuts-"

"That's a joke too, right?" She gave him a look. "Dear God, I am staying in first class. Besides, I need the extra leg room. I have long pegs. As do you, Pepper. You see, I am doing this for you. It is for my comfort as well as yours."- THIS! This is just...WONDERFUL!
