Tension reigned in the car.
Hogan was taking the two Starks and Pepper home.
Before getting into the car Pepper had admonished Tony telling him not to open his mouth in any way, she knew that Carina had not taken the news well and she did not want the third world war to break out right inside a tiny car.
Tony on the other hand wanted to talk to his daughter, he felt the need to explain to her why he had made that decision. The man snorted in annoyance as he thought back to what Pepper had said earlier.
After Tony's speech, Carina rushed into the car, not wanting anyone to see how angry and disappointed she was. Carina was as taut as a violin string, she was ready to tear apart anyone who dared even look at her and with that whoever she was referring to Tony obviously. The young Stark as soon as she heard a snort coming from the man, she snapped her head towards him with a glare.
"Is something bothering you Tony?" Carina asked rhetorically.
"Carina I--" she cut him off.
"How could you shut down Stark Industries?!" She shouted "I came here from Italy to manage the hut and you are risking out of nowhere, frustrating my efforts! Had I known this earlier I would have screwed everything up and stayed where I was" she said before she got out of the car that stopped in front of the Stark house.
"Oh, I also have news that will please you, Androsilla is back. Maybe next time you should give her more money, so maybe I won't see her for the next fifteen years" she said, slamming the door and then walking away.

Pepper was in the living room watching the news, even though he wasn't doing a good job right now. She was worried about Carina. After the fight with Tony the girl had left the house saying she was going for a walk, but now it had been hours since she was gone.
"Pepper. How big are your hands?" Tony asked over the intercoms.
"What?" Pepper asked, confused.
"How big are your hands?" Tony asked again.
"I don't understand why..." she started saying but Tony cut her off.
"Get down here. I need you"
Pepper walked in Tony's workshop to find Tony lying shirtless on a chair.
"Hey. Let's see them. Show me your hands. Let's see them" Tony said.
Pepper slowly walked over to him holding up her hands.
"Oh, wow. They are small. Very petite, indeed. I just uh... need your help for a sec"
"Oh, my God, is that the thing that's keeping you alive?" Pepper asked, seeing the reactor.
