Between friends...can I borrow your kids?
Tony made sure that the table in the board room was bolted down and that there are no objects that can be thrown anywhere nearby. He knows that Rhodey can get a little passionate at times and Pepper...can be just a little neurotic. The last thing he needs is either of them trying to kill him.

As a precaution, however, Tony does have his suitcase armor stashed out of sight behind a desk.

He waits for his friends to arrive and prays that this goes over better than he's imagined it will.

Pepper entered the board room, carrying a tray with three cups of coffee.

"Morning boss."

Rhodey had a bad feeling about this. Any time Tony needed to "discuss something" it always spelled trouble he had to clean up.

But he managed to be cheerful. "Mornin', Tony. How's Eddie?"

"Hey, it's good to see both of you." Tony says, smiling brightly.

"Please, have a seat." Tony says, taking a cup for himself.

"Rhodey, Eddie is the greatest baby being carried across the face of the Earth. He's perfect, man. Thank you for asking. How's the wife? Pepper, how is Happy doing?" he asks.

"Happy's doing well," Pepper said, taking a seat. "How's Tasha?"

They'd get the smalltalk out of the way...and then Tony would tell them what he wanted.

Rhodey took a seat and coffee.

"Still hasn't shot you, I see."

"Tasha's great, and no, she hasn't shot me. There have been some near moments lately, but she hasn't yet." Tony says.

"Some things have come up recently and that's why I asked you both here. Part of this is an update so you're both in the know, but what I say next /cannot/ leave this room, especially in Anya's presence.

Temujin escaped SHIELD custody. You two, Tasha, Steve and myself are the only ones who know besides SHIELD. Anya /cannot/ find out about this. She and Steve just got married and I don't want her looking over her shoulder every second. Or worse, going after him because she feels like she has to prove something." Tony says.

Pepper nearly dropped her coffee. "He escaped?" She blinked, a look of shock on her face. "When did this happen?"

Rhodey's reaction is more controlled. "She won't hear it from me, buddy."

Well. The marriage thing certainly explained Toni complaining she had "failed in her duty as a Rhodes."

"A few days ago, Pepper. Fury's been able to keep it quiet thus far and the little worm hasn't done anything, but I expect that to change." Tony says.

"I've got people looking into this as well, but Temujin isn't the reason I called the both of you here." Tony says, settling into his seat.

"The recent situation with Maggie and Edward brought a few things into focus for me. All over the world, people are abusing technology in various ways, using it to harm rather than help. When I built the Iron Man armor, it was to save my life. Over time, I used it to help people and show them that technology isn't something to fear.

It's the same principle I use for Stark Industries." Tony tells them, taking a deep breath.

"Maggie's taken my work and perverted it, used it to create weapons of destruction, and she'll pay for that. But how many others are out there doing the same thing and getting away with it because no one can or will stand up to them?

I called you both here today to tell you that I'm rebuilding Force Works, and I want you to head it up Rhodey. But the /big/ question is my next one.

Can I borrow your children?" he asks.

Pause.

"All of them." he clarifies.

"It's up to Justin and Harvey in the end with what they want to do, but I have no objections." Pepper said after some thought.

"You mean the group you formed to be your little private strike force when you thought the Avengers weren't cutting it anymore?" Rhodey asked, pointedly.

"All right," he said after a moment. "It's Toni's choice, but I don't object to the question being put in front of her. And Justin's his own man; certainly not my place to tell him what he can or can't do."

"Jim, you know that's not how it was." Tony says soothingly.

"Force Works was built to handle things that were more sensitive than what the Avengers could deal with. That's the reason I'm reactivating this team. The Avengers have larger issues to deal with and I needed people with a particular skill set to handle this matter." he says, sighing deeply.

"Well, your kids listen to both of you, so I thought I'd ask you before asking them, instead of asking them first and letting them tell you after. I figured we were all due for a change of pace.

Like I said, Rhodey, I want you to head this up. A new subsidiary of Stark Industries is opening up and I'd like you to run it. You'll get to see exactly what the team is doing, advise them and you'll know that Justin and Toni are safe.

What do you think? Is Monica going to have an issue with this?" he asks.

You keep telling yourself that, Tony, Rhodey thought, but didn't voice.

"I can do that," he said after a moment. "It's a damn good idea, actually."

He goes on. "Honestly? After we found out what her powers were doing to her, we'd really bother rather Toni quiet. But we both know she won't. So we'll deal with it as best we can."

"I'm glad both of you are okay with this." Tony says, relaxing completely in his chair. They didn't try to shoot him, so he considered that a victory.

"There's something else you two need to know about. I recently sent Justin, Toni, Anya and Misha after one of Maggie's facilities. They took the place down and ran into Edward, which is bad enough in itself, but that's not the part you two need to know.

Justin suffered another heart attack. I'm concerned that the armor is putting stress on his body and his heart. It was bad." Tony says.

"I don't want to presume, but the two you might want to talk to him about knowing his limits." Tony says.

"And yes, I know how that sounds coming from /me/."

Pepper's face was etched with worry when Tony told her about Justin's heart attack.

"Yes," she said, nodding. "I will definitely talk to him."

"Anya pulled off some quick thinking to help him, which got him to the hospital, but he checked himself out early and left with a young woman." Tony says.
