"Sir, it seems we have some unexpected guests coming in on the Tower back in Manhattan," JARVIS announced, cutting into Pepper's rant about signing papers and press conferences and a million things he didn't want to participate in.<br/><br/>"I am pretty sure I informed everyone that I was here though...When they get there, be sure to inform them that Tony Stark is anywhere but home," he told the AI. "I don't care who they are...Unless its anyone from Shield, in which case tell them you don't even know me."<br/><br/>"Its not Shield sir," the disembodied voice informed him. "Not as far as I can tell."<br/><br/>Tony gave a confused look to the room. "Are you telling me you don't know how it?" He put his hands on his hips. Pepper opened her mouth to continue but he waved for her to keep it shut. "Who is it, JARVIS?"<br/><br/>"Lighting Man and the Living Flame, sir. They've just landed now. Shall I rely the message you told me to earlier?"<br/><br/>"...No, tell 'em I'm in Malibu. I don't know why everyone assumes I'm at the tower." Then he turned back to Pepper. "Where were we? Something about the next Stark Expo right?" She was giving him her irritated look, the one where she pressed her lips to a thin line and stared almost emotionless at him. He gave a quick fake smile. "Well?"<br/><br/>"No, we weren't." She pulled out some papers from the file she carried and handed them to him. "I need you to sign these, these aaaand those." She pulled a pen from her pocket and handed to him. "Now, before you get distracted and I have to chase you down again."
