"Tony Stark" walked into the world headquarters of Stark Industries. Tony needed some paperwork from the office and Natasha had been more than happy to go get it for him. She loved her husband dearly, but she needed a break. Tony had been dealing with this whole body switch really well, but Natasha needed a break from dealing with him. Had she been this bad during this pregnancy or the one with Anya for that matter?

She made her way up to Pepper's office.

After picking up the paperwork for her husband, she'd grab some coffee and chocolate on the way home.

Justin Rhodes sits in the lobby and waits to be called. He's not sure what he's doing here, but something in him figures it's better to speak to Virigina Potts now rather than waiting for the stars to align for them to meet up. So he dressed in one of the suits his new sister bought for him and went to her office to make an appointment. That was Thursday, after his date with Christina.

Now, it was Monday morning, and he was here to visit his mother on the job. He hoped she was as inviting as Rhodey had been. Or that she didn't hate the idea of having an adult son from another dimension. He'd take either one.

"Mr. Rhodes, Miss Potts will see you now." the receptionist says.

"Thank you. " he says, rising from his chair. He takes a deep breath, and hopes that his heart doesn't choose to give out any time in the next half-hour, and walks toward the doors.

With not being able to go back to school until the summer, Anya needed something to do and the logical choice was to work. She was a Stark and a Romanova and being a workaholic was in the DNA. She'd go insane if she had to sit around and do nothing. Even she couldn't spend that much time in the lab and she couldn't be an Avenger again until May.

Dressed her in best business suit, she entered Pepper's office at seven in the morning. It was the only time of the day when Pepper had a few free minutes. Anya of course came bearing Pepper's favorite coffee.

"Good morning, Pepper," Anya said with a smile and offered the cup of coffee.

Margaret Donovan-Stark wasn't a stupid woman and she wasn't a fool. She knew that there were always people out to take her position, this time it was family who was after her position. Which was to be expected.

She had been watching the stocks closely and was concerned about this Scion company. They had been buying as much stock as possible and if for some reason they teamed up with her brother...well Margaret would be prepared. Contingency plans were always necessary when someone was trying to take you down.

It was time to initiate those contingency plans just in case. She always covered her ass and she always had a few plans for the future. She began the necessary file transfers.

The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and New York’s own superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

Wife is out shopping so she won't try to help.  The condo is free of teenagers and Tony Stark is restless.  Anya's crash was a wake-up call.  It's not that he was ignoring her legacy.  It's just that he had been convinced by his loving family that this time he should heal up from his burns rather then work himself to the brink before pulling back.

Pepper is bringing the paperwork.  They've been here before, all right, but this time, it's not about him.  It's not about safeguarding what's in the vaults, or some insane supervillian with a scheme.  No.  this time it's about family - sothing he never thought he'd give a damn about during all those other times.  This is why he's more dangerous today then he's ever been.

Anya had spent the past week in S.H.I.E.L.D. medical sitting outside the isolation ward where her parents were. Mom was improving and the doctors said they were going to take her off the medication keeping her unconscious in the next day or so. Her healing factor, as slight as it was, was doing its job and she was significantly healed.

Dad was a completely different story. He was stable, but wasn't really making any progress. Anya spent every waking moment searching her father's private computers for information on the nanites inside of him. Unfortunately there were teraflops worth of data to go through and she wasn't any closer to finding the information she needed. It was essential to either upgrade the nanites inside of him and if she couldn't do that, she had to disable them so newer generation nanites could be introduced into his system. If both were active at the same time they could see the other as foreign invaders and destroy each other.

A week of searching and she wasn't any closer to helping her father. She slept when she absolutely couldn't stay awake any longer and she showered when her siblings forced her to take a break. Constant contact with Pepper and Uncle Rhodey was kept and they kept her abreast of what was going on with the company. They had managed to put out the fires and kept things running smoothly for the past week. Today was a board meeting to formally select an acting CEO until her father made a recovery. If he...Anya stopped herself from thinking that. Dad would get better and would be back to running the company again.

When Pepper called her this morning, Anya returned home, showered, put on a suit and headed into the company. Right now she was in Pepper's office and the two women were waiting for Rhodey to show before going into the board meeting. Anya stared at her laptop screen and kept searching through computer files.
