CHERRY WAS WALKING UP TO THE DOOR OF TONY'S MANSION WHEN JAMES RHODES EXITED THE DOOR. It didn't surprise her, and she smiled at him as they approached each other. Jim smiled at her, "Cherry! It's nice to see you again!"
Cherry smiled widely at him, "Jim! It's good to see you too! Tony doesn't like sharing you, does he?" The last time the two of them had seen each other, which was scarcely at that, they had been at one of Tony's Galas, and Tony had whisked Jim away from her before he could get into telling Cherry about a fourteen year-old Tony embarrassing himself at MIT. Tony had somehow managed to keep them away from each other all night after that and still get drunk and take home a model.
"I could say the same thing about you," Jim said, smiling friendly. "And I'm sorry to run out while we have a chance to talk with only JARVIS listening, but I'm due back at base. I'll see you later, Cherry. We'll talk whenever that is."
"Of course, don't let me hold you," Cherry told him, stepping out of his way. She watched him walk for a little, taking in the military stride that was built into his step. With a deep breath, she turned back to the door and took the last couple of steps to it and entered, hoping she looked okay. Tony had wanted to show her his workshop finally and she was excitedly nervous about it. It was the first time she would get super personal with Tony, despite the fact that she had helped him in the shower a week or two ago.
Fixing her shirt and rubbing her sweaty hands on her jeans, Cherry made her way forward into the house, switching the fast food bag from hand to hand. Stopping to get Tony and her some cheeseburgers had been a great idea. She stopped by the kitchen, chatting absentmindedly to JARVIS as she fixed herself and Tony a mug of coffee. Checking the fridge for food, she also grabbed the fruit that had been clearly cut up for the intention of snacking. Finding a tray, Cherry placed everything on it before asking JARVIS which way the workshop was and telling him to alert Tony that she was here if he hadn't already.
The stairs took her a few tries to find since they were a little hidden, but she was able to get down them easily enough once she located them. Upon the bottom of the stairs was a wall of glass which had a video feed playing on it. Cherry could still make out Tony hunched over an invention on one of his work tables, his hair a fluffy mess. The door accepted the code Pepper had made her, Cherry smiling as she balanced the tray in one arm to pull the door open and get through it.
Her ear drums were assaulted with rock music as soon as she was through the door and she had to give Tony props for the soundproofing. She started to make her way over to Tony, smiling up at the roof, saying, "JARVIS, the music, please."
It cut to a lower volume, Tony's voice immediately being heard after, "Pepper, I swear, give me an hour and then I'll go to bed."
"Not Pepper, but now I feel obligated to drag you to bed," Cherry spoke, moving until she was beside Tony and placing the tray gently on the table. "Eat, Pepper did tell me to do that."
