You and Wanda arrived in New York City mid-morning on one of Stark Industries private jets. You couldn't believe the amount of legroom and the amazing breakfast they offered. With an eventful morning laid out, you wondered how Peter and Mer's morning was going after you dropped her off last night.

*~~~~Flashback Start~~~~*        

"If you have any questions, or problems don't hesitate to call me," you told Peter as you stood in the doorway.

"I know," he smirked. "But I don't think it will be too difficult."

"You say that now," you chuckled, making him crack his boyish smile. "See you on Sunday when I get back."

"See you then. Be safe." Peter came in for a hug, surprising you. You felt awkward and tense, but as soon as he tightened his hold, you melted into him. You closed your eyes, remembering how his hugs always made you feel better. And on the plus side, he smelt amazing.

You pulled away, glancing up at him. He was gazing down at you with his green eyes making your stomach flutter and heartbeat a little faster. You felt a blush rush to your cheeks as you glanced at a giggling Mer beside you. You waved goodbye them before you walked back to your car.

*~~~~Flashback End~~~~*

You and Wanda met up with the real estate agent at the airport and traveled to the four properties you were looking at. The agent answered all your questions, which helped you narrow the list down to two properties. One was located right outside the city while the other was a little further upstate.

The site right outside the city was a good space and area to start a business. The only downside was that there was no room to grow. If this business wasn't already successful, you would say yes, but this company has been thriving for the past three years. This space would work for a couple of years, but if Potts of Honey continued to make a profit, we would need more room to expand.

The property further upstate was near their sister company, Stark Industries. This choice made the most sense with it having more space than the one in the city, so there was always room to expand. Go big and then downsize if need be. You would always think the other way around, but with Potts of Honey already being a success, you thought it was worth the risk to go big. You were positive Pepper would agree with you, but if not, you still took notes to share with her from the other site as well.

When you and Wanda got back to the hotel, you were ready to get in touch with Pepper. It was going to be a long conversation, so you decided to check in on Peter and Mer first. It was early evening in Malibu but figured it was best to say goodnight early rather than later. You clicked on Peter's contact and then clicked FaceTime.

"Mommy," she greeted with her face close to the camera before moving it away. "Hi, how is New York?"

"Hey, Mer. Haven't seen much of it yet, but I hope I can see more of it tomorrow. I wanted to check in to see how things are before I get back to work. What are you doing?"

"Watching this documentary about Mars." She flipped the camera view so you could see. "It's a good one so far." She flipped the camera back, and you could see her eyes glued to the screen.

"Sounds fun! Did you finish your homework?"

"Yes, Bucky and dad helped me with it." She glanced at the phone before her eyes shifted back to the tv screen, making you smile.
