Open: Peps & John, Wonder-Duet.

Jan 29, 2009 14:24

John couldn't get the time off, and to be honest, doesn't really want it. So after more-or-less informing his surrogate sister they're working the bar tonight, he's already taking a break with a G&T, laughing jovially in her presence. He feels posh, and rich, sitting there with her, one ankle crossed over the other. And it's like a little bit of ( Read more... )

Chuck strolled into the bar after his shift in the gate control room, just popping in for a drink before heading off to do god knows what before bed. He figured Sheppard would be in the bar, but was pleasantly surprised to see the President of Stark Industries ... working along with him?

He'd been there for Pepper's first arrival on Atlantis, and was there for her arrival this time. He knew every face that went through the gate, and hers was no exception.

He approached the couple and, hands in pockets, smiled and winked at Pepper as he addressed the Colonel.

"New recruit for the bar?"

"For the moment." He smirked at Chuck. "Have you two met?"

"Not officially, sir." He smiled and stuck his hand out towards Pepper. "Chuck Campbell, head gate technician for the Atlantis expedition."

Pepper smiled and shook his hand. "Pepper Potts, president of SI. It's nice to meet you." she responded. "I see faces all the time, but have no idea who is who really seeing as John steals me away as soon as he can."

She motioned to the bar. "Can I get you a drink? I have no idea what I'm doing but if it's a beer, I think I can manage that."

He chuckled at that, recalling how quickly she and the Colonel made for the nearest exit after her arrival this time. He was used to being just another face in the background to visiting dignitaries. "He really shouldn't be doing that, you know. The rest of us faces like to get to know you, too."

"Well if you insist, I'll have a Molson." Turning his flirt on? He might be.

Ignoring his flirt? She might be.

Smiling, she reached for the drink and passed it over to him. "So are you the one I complain to when the gate ride is just a tad choppy," she teased, leaning on the bar.

chuck_not_chet February 6 2009, 12:15:24 UTC

Aww, now his flirt was wasting away unnoticed...

"You can complain to me all you want, I'm just the guy that makes sure your atoms don't go splat when you rematerialize on this side of the gate."

He gave her a matter-of-fact smile and took a sip of his beer before he continued, "I hate to spoil it for you, but we really have little control over how jarring wormhole travel is at first. You'll get used to it after awhile if you use gate travel frequently enough. Ask Colonel Sheppard." He nodded at the other man before taking another sip of his beer.

She smiled. "That's what he tells me, but I'm glad to hear it from someone that's qualified," she said, tossing a teasing look at her brother.

"Was it hard to learn how to do it though? To man the gate, as it were?"
