“I don't know why you keep on hanging out with that boy. He's nothing but trouble; drinking, fighting, and having sex with all those women. All he does is get you into trouble.”
“For the last time, Ma, Tony's changed. He's a hero and he did a lot of good.” Jim Rhodes told his mother as he drive her up to the Stark Manor. Despite the fact that he was a soldier and a superhero, Roberta Rhodes still see him as her little boy. Which was fine by him. His strong mother didn't seem bothered by the unusually cold weather but nothing does. He managed to get her to come for Thanksgiving and even to come to meet Tony to see how much he changed.
“I know that, Jimmy, but that boy is still trouble. He destroyed his own house and nearly killed you.” Roberta put her hand on her son's cheek.
“He... he was going through a rough time. I promise, when you see Tony, you will like him.”
“I am not getting into that house. The last time I was in there, I was up to my knees in naked women."
“He has a girlfriend now. Trust me, nothing weird is going to happen this time.”
“I'm still not getting in there.” Roberta crossed her arms firmly.
Rhodey sighed. He loved his mother but she was one of the most stubborn women on the planet. He bet that she would win a staring contest with Nick Fury. “Okay, I'll go in and check out the place. If there's nothing weird, will you come in?”
“Maybe.”
He tapped in his code access and walked in. Jarvis didn't answer, so he must be in private mode. Everything looked normal; no naked women, no bottles of alcohol, and Tony was naked and hogtied on the dinner table. Rhodey did a double take.
“Tony, I got the-” Pepper paused when she came in with only frosting covering her private parts. “AAAAHHHH!” She screamed as she grabbed a blanket and wrapped herself around it.
Rhodey promptly turned away from the two. “I was just checking on you guys. You okay, Tony?”
“We're fine.” Tony sounded more annoyed than mad.
“Good.” He put on his best poker face and added, “I'm coming later. A lot later.”
“Call next time.” Pepper said fuming.
“Right. Happy thanksgiving.” Rhodey promptly marched out and closed the door.
Roberta was waiting for him. “Well?”
“They're busy.” Rhodey said as he fought the urge to blush. He had seen Tony in weirder situations but Pepper was something completely different.
“Does it involve one of them being trussed up like a turkey and the other covered in frosting?” She asked in a strange all knowing way.
“How?” Rhodey's jaw dropped.
“I told you that boy is nothing but trouble. Now, come on. Let's go back home.” Roberta took his hand and guide him back to his car.
“Yes, Ma.”
The End.
