Heels clicking against the floor, Pepper strode into Maria Hill’s brand new office with an extra coffee in hand. “Hey.” She said.
They knew each other well enough. As secretaries slash second-in-command to two very powerful men, Potts and Hill had often done business together. The nitty gritty details that their bosses couldn’t be spared to go through every time. Particularly between Tony Stark and Nick Fury. Cooperation between SHIELD and Stark Industries was mostly, and best, achieved entirely through those two women. Professionally, they might as well be two old friends. Potts hoped that their relationship might also become personal, now that they worked together.
Maria accepted the coffee gratefully. “Thanks. Hm. Extra strong. Great.”
“You looked like you needed it.” Pepper smiled as she sat down next to her.
Maria arched an eyebrow. Not many would have been able to tell. Either she was slipping, understandable but unacceptable, or Pepper knew her that well. “It’s been a rough couple of days.”
“Well, I heard you crashed a helicarrier into the Potomac.” Pepper teased carefully.
“That should have never happened. SHIELD-” She stopped herself, cursing her reaction. Maybe the stress was making her slip after all. “Sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
