"Well, I can't say that I'm not disappointed. But then as my father used to say, 'Failure is the fog through which we glimpse triumph,'" Killian muses and gives another dashing smile.
"That's very deep," Pepper comments politely. Killian hums and shrugs. "And I have no idea what it means."
"Well, me neither. He was kind of an idiot, my old man," Killian admits and Pepper chuckles. I don't find it funny, I actually get it.
"I'm sure I'll see you again, Pepper, Allison," he says and kisses Allie gently on the cheek. Allie blushes a bright red and playfully shoves him away. He then embraces Pepper warmly and walks towards his car.
"Ms. Potts?" Happy prompts and Pepper flushes.
"Allison?" I deadpan and she chuckles. She's not flustered or dazed, just a curly thinking Killian's a good guy.
"Happy," Pepper breathes and looks around all flustered.

"Yes. I just um...God, I forgot my other thing, so I'm just gonna," Pepper stammers and turns around. "Allie and I...we'll be back in a sec after we grab our stuff." Allie takes that as a request so she follows Pepper inside.
Happy watches Aldrich's car as he pulls out.
"Get a pic of the license plate," I suggest and he instantly whips out his phone. Happy snaps the shot just as Killian drives away.
"Smart," he praises.
"Wanna follow the shady guy?" I ask and Happy grins widely.
"I like your moxie kid. Let's go."

"Oh my lord," Pepper gasps making me jolt to attention. All the worst-case scenarios are already going through my head.
"What?! Am I bleeding? Are you having a heart attack? Is the mansion filled with attackers? Are we on fire? Am I pregnant? Are you pregnant?" I rattle off and start frantically looking all around.
