As the sibling of the infamous Tony Stark, you seemed to get a lot of backlash for what he did. You are a lawyer, and a pretty damn good one if you could say so yourself.
You had shown up at the tower to talk to your brother about his latest lawsuit, he broke some bakery windows, and then he crashed into the upstairs apartment that the poor old lady who had been running the bakery lived in.
Walking into the tower you're met with the receptionist, Linda. Now you're sure Linda might have been a lovely lady at some point but she was a downright bitch now.
"Hey Linda, I'm here to see Tony. I have an appointment. "
Linda looks up for a second before nodding her head and calling up to Pepper. Pepper was my brother's beautiful secretary, although I'm a hundred percent sure she's straighter than a pencil.
The small radio Linda keeps at her table blares out some sort of news jingle before the anchor starts talking.
"Breaking news, A fire was started intentionally at an LGBTQ+ youth building. No one was hurt but the suspects are still on the run police believe they are close to finding them. "
Shake your head at this you hope they find the men fast but your mood declines more when Linda opens her big mouth.
"Good for them. Kids these days think they know what's best for them. Most of those LGBT people think they understand but they don't. It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. "
You don't even think you heard her correctly but you did. Without thinking you stand up from your seat and walk towards Linda, who only now looks up from her game of solitaire to look at you.
"Linda, I've tried being nice to you but this is too far. Someone could've gotten hurt last night but your head is too far shoved up your ass to know that. So keep your mouth shut before I take that stapler and staple it shut. "
The look on Linda's face was enough to make you chuckle before you hear someone clear their throat. Pepper stands with a surprised look on her face and the door to the elevator opens.
"Well, Ta-ta Linda, I do hope you get some help. "
Linda's mouth is still wide open as you walk towards the elevator, noticing the small smile that plays on Pepper's lips.
The doors close and Black Sabbath begins to play faintly in the background cause God forbid your brother to have normal elevator music. Pepper says nothing as she still looks at you.
"Are you alright? "
She finally snaps out of it and smiles at you, "I'm just glad someone finally shut her up. "
You laugh and don't question it anymore but Pepper still isn't done.
"Would you want to maybe get dinner after your meeting? "
