“It's alright, I didn't mean to be so insulting either baby. I know the bug is small, but it is for you or for us. I would have worked on getting a car that'll fit both my girls and all our kids. But you did that so now it's done.” Johnny says with a shrug, Tony wouldn't let her buy a bad car, he was so very protective of her after all. “So just be his friend and don't try to seduce him? Fuck me and Loki, and Clint and Bucky. Do you have to fuck Tony? You are already close, do you have to be naked close to?” Johnny asked, if Loki were here she would slap him for this he knew, but he needed these answers from Steph too.<br/><br/>Pepper listened to Loki but didn't agree, or speak about Steph, it didn't come off as jealousy to her. But she didn't know Stephanie all that well. “ I don't need you to talk to her about me. I just want space. From Tony and the Avengers, but you are my closest friend and I just couldn't be alone anymore. I can stonewall the press. I'm used to doing that for Tony... so it's not a real problem for me, it's just all too fresh and it hurts. I can do the work as well, Loki... I'm so sorry you think that way because I love you and I need you. Tony dreams about being alone... about everyone dying and him watching and being left behind. But I can't help Tony. I need to help me.” Pepper said the tears coming freshly again.
