A/n filler chapter basically! But more of Roses backstory so I guess not!
3rd person for like a paragraph:
The constant tap of the colonels feet across the concrete floor as he paced, waiting for his best friend was one of the only sounds in the house besides the low hum of machinery. The somewhat normal chorus broke with the sound of a woman full clad in armour landing three feet away from him. The armour practically folded off of her and back into its storage case, her smirking, proud face showing.
Roses POV:
"Did you watch it on tv? Or did you just stay here" I ask, my smirk and minorly flushed cheeks still prominent from the meet just a few minutes ago. "I stayed here. After I called a-... my friends. I've seen you fight before, Rose." Rhodes replies with a smile. "Well, you haven't seen me and my competition for best armoured hero fight together, now have you? Well, we weren't fighting together, more created tension as we both fought the same people. And I saved his life, but no big deal" I explain and grin. I can see Jim piecing things together in his head, and instead of the anticipated reaction I had of him gasping and asking questions, he immediately breaks out into a wild smile.
I raise an eyebrow. "Tell me everything that happened Rose, full detail" he replies, still grinning like an idiot. "Why do you care, eh? Thoughtw you had already seen me fight before?" I ask with a smug smirk. "Just spill, come on!" He insists and I give him a judgemental look. "Fine, but I still have no idea why".
I tell him the whole thing, from when I got there to when I left, not even sparing the details like the wink and Tony calling me darling. But I did spare the detail of me being happy I had a helmet to hide my blush. By the end of my story Rhodey was smiling, wide. "What made you so happy?" He stays silent for a second. "Umm... cause now the owner of a wealthy company owes you, or rather mettalicat girl, a favour?" He suggests and I smile. "Yeah..." "also, that fact that you're blushing." My smile drops. "Rhodey..." he stands up and grins, walking towards the door. "I have been telling you to meet someone for a while Rose! I'm happy for you!" He calls back and I roll my eyes, blushing a little more. "See you at the party, better get some planners and decorators here!" He adds before leaving, me shaking my head but knowing he's right about my little crush on Tony... no Rose get your mind in the right place!
Party decorators?
I know exactly who to call.
Rhodes' POV:
I get in my car and turn on Bluetooth, grinning. This is going to be the best!
I know exactly who to call.
Tony's POV:
I quickly take a shower after I get back from fighting AIM and M.O.D.O.K, the damn thing got away but I gave S.H.I.E.L.D some helpful hints as to where they were hiding.
As I get out of the shower my phone rings. I tie a towel around my waist and say "J.A.R.V.I.S answer that" "doing so sir, it's colonel Rhodes" he replies before I hear Rhodey. "So... how was your flir- oh I'm sorry, I mean fight" he says sarcastically and I stand up straight "Wonderful Rhodes just wonderful." "Spoken like a true damsel in distress~" he teases. I head to my bedroom. "What source did you get that from, hmm?" I ask as I slide on some boxers.
I can hear him laugh on the other end. "The woman herself, Tony. The woman herself." He replies. "Told me a few minutes ago, actually. I'm heading home now to get ready for the party, but I would guess you already have a suit picked out." He adds and I can feel his grin. "No I don't" I lie casually. "J, what's your opinion?" He asks my A.I. "Now that's not-" I'm interrupted by my own system. "He immediately started trying on suits as soon as you hung up, master Rhodes" He informs Jim.
I swear under my breath.
"Oh really? Well... sure. I admit, things happened." I admit, frustrated. I look down for a moment. I grin and look up.
"But you wouldn't call unless-" "oh yes, matchmaker Jim Rhodes is on this case" he says flamboyantly, and I laugh.
"She was bushing when she got back, by the way" he adds.
Oh yes. This is going to be good.
I smirk. "When's the party, again?" "Three hours from now, 9 o'clock. But I bet you wish it was sooner. Now eat some food. Actually nourish yourself." He orders me. "Fine, fine." I agree. "I'll get you something now, sir." J.A.R.V.I.S adds. "Thanks, J" I say. "I'll see you at the party, Tony." Rhodes says. "Meet you at the bar" I reply with a grin. "Don't drink to much... without me" he teases.
"Meet you at the bar" he repeats, hanging up. I smile.
I have a thing or two to plan...
