Third Person POV

Sophia looked at the scenario and saw everyone cheering and wearing their Iron Man wrist lights. The lights on the scenario were off, but the people in the crowd made it shine.

She was at Stark Expo for the first time in a while now and she was feeling excited. Her job was to be there to also promote a little of Dumont Industries, but she was not going to do it herself, she brought Maggie, her assistant and friend to help her out.

-Anything else I can help you with before I leave, Miss Sophie?.- Maggie asked and Sophia turned to look at her.

-Oh no, it's alright Mag, you can go to it now.- Sophia said and Maggie smiled.

-Thank you Miss, I won't let you down.- The girl said with a thick french accent smiling at Sophia.

-I know you won't, Mag. Good luck!.- Sophia said, cheering the girl and saw how she left on the side of the stage.

Taking out her phone from her pocket, she searched her contacts for Tony. He was going to make a big entrance, that Sophia knew nothing about, but she hadn't heard from him since he told her about it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone approaching.

-Still not answering?.- Happy asked Sophia and she shook her head.

-Nope. I've tried at least ten times and he still hasn't picked up.- Sophia said as she looked at the screen.

Just in time, a text arrived. She smiled when she saw the name, and she heard Happy huff.

-Why is Mr.Sinclair not here?.- Happy asked in a serious tone Sophia and she laughed.

-He is in a mission, he comes back next week.- Sophia said as she opened the text.

"Hey, beautiful. How are things going in there? Tony already opened?. -M.S."

"Hey handsome;) No, he is not here yet, kinda worried :/ - S."

A few seconds later, his reply came.

"Don't worry about it, he is probably preparing something extra, you know, something more like... him. It's going to be okay:) - M."

Sophia smiled and just as she was going to answer, her phone lit up with a call.

Pepper.

Sophia immediately picked up.

-Sophie?.- Pepper's voice came on the other side.

-Pep, hey!.- Sophia said, turning to Happy and signaling to him that she was talking to Pepper. He nodded and she kept on talking. -How's it going with Tony? I've been waiting for him.- Sophia said.

As she was waiting for Pepper to talk, Sophia heard someone coughing and groaning on the other side. She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Happy. Happy frowned as well and Sophia turned the phone on speaker.

-Hey, Soph. Yeah, everything's alright. It's just, Tony's feeling nervous and he's panicking.- Pepper said and Sophia lifted her eyebrows.

-Nervous? Why is he nervous?.- Sophia asked as she looked at the phone.

-His big entrance is jumping out of a plane.- Pepper simply said and Sophia facepalmed.

-Of course it is.- Sophia mumbled under her breath and Happy shook his head, holding his temple.

Sophia heard a little bit of ruffling in the back and turned to look at Happy, who just shrugged.

-Hold on a minute Sophie, I have to take him out of the bathroom.- Pepper said and Sophia had to muffle a laugh.
