Bunny Macleod	THE DESTINATION: Rain Beau Brite's Dueling Piano bar, where Bunny Macleod had a standing date to come play any time. It was best described as 'an upscale dive bar with properly priced alcohol, gummy sharks in the scorpion bowls, and a combination of if a Pier One and Oriental Trading threw up all over the place'. Luckily the head booker was also really understanding when Bunny expressed that she wanted to show a couple of friends a Good Time, but it might not be their scene and to *pretty please not make a big deal about them*.     And, as Tony agreed to pick up Bunny and her date, Bunny was standing on a sidewalk outside the Bishop Printing company where she'd been utilizing the crash space, clad in ripped jeans, a bright pink leather jacket, sky blue acrylic shades, and sneakers.     It's just her vibe, man, although she missed the extra two inches of being up on skates.
Tony Stark	"I'm telling you, these kids are cute," explains Tony as he takes a sharp turn with the barest adjustment of the wheel on his adaptive steering prototype electric car. "You're going to love them, Pep. They kind of remind me of you and I, if we were young, immature, had no idea what we were doing, and had no real responsibilities." The car jerks around the last turn and Tony guns it until they pull up along side where Bunny is waiting, stopping on a dime thanks to reverse repulsor brake technology. That is a prototype special, because only Tony wants to spend the money to have that kind of impressive braking. The window rolls down and Tony leans across Pepper to call over towards Bunny. "Hey sport, come on. I was telling Pepper how you and Gabby are the most adorable kids I have ever seen, and are so perfect for each other it makes me sick inside. Like too much sugar. Totally jealous." He looks at Pepper. "That's a thing, right?" Then he realizes Bunny is standing by herself. "Gabby applying the last bits of lip gloss?"
Pepper Potts	Pepper is dressed casually for the evening out, though for her, she's still so very, very put together. She wears a cream colored camisole covered with a slightly darker tan airy-fabric shirt atop. Her slacks are the same color as the shirt, and it ends with a pair of comfortable pumps. Strawberry blonde hair is down, straight and falling to her shoulders, with stone posts in her ears. Luckily she is seatbelted in, even if she's used to Tony's driving. She does make the concerted effort to not be tossed around with the starts and stops, even if her hand touches that door handle for a little comfort.     "You and I?" There's that ghosted smile that tinges upon her face. "Sounds like you now?" It's a gentle tease for all of that. Pepper is certain Tony's been so much better over the past couple of years; he's grown into himself and responsibilities, even though he does have that touch of intensity. A part of him she adores. "I've never been like that." Don't ask Amanda about her college days. When the car stops and the window rolls down, Pepper looks out the window in the same direction Tony is calling. She looks back at Tony, brows rising, "Not a thing, no."
Bunny Macleod	Bunny gives an excited wae and goes to skate -- stumbling, remembering she's currently wearing nice sneakers and not her roller skates -- recovers and then comes to the door's side. "Hello Miz Potts! Nice to meet you in person. Thank you for not letting Tony die -- I'm Bunny Macleod, and I will be the pianist this evening." she introduces herself simply, giving a wave and then remembering that yes, technically everyone's an adult here, she then offers her hand to Pepper. "My sister's a huge fan of yours and wrote one of her college papers on you."     And then Tony brings up Gabby. The pink-haired young lady turns red, right to her ears and explains:     "Oh... uh... Gabby's not coming tonight. We... we're not together anymore."
Bunny Macleod	"But HEY that means that you just have a third person with so little life experience that she thinks a piano bar is high class and it's totally not going to be awkward *at all*." she tacks on.
Tony Stark	Tony's face falls a bit as he puts the pieces together. In retrospect, Bunny /did/ seem particularly down and sad the other day when he ran into her. This must be why. Huh. "Piano bars /are/ high class, especially if the company is good enough, right?" The back door opens to make room for Bunny to enter, as Tony mouths to Pepper "Oops". "And don't worry, it's not like Pepper and I look like a couple or anything. People will just see three friends out for a good time." He sits back up, waiting for Bunny to strap in.
Pepper Potts	Perhaps Pepper has gotten used to the 'finer things in life', but piano bar? Brows do rise again in Tony's direction before she sets a smile on her face, and looks back at Bunny. "Hello," and her hand extends towards Bunny's outstretched. At the news of having a college paper written about her? Pepper tilts her head in curiosity, adding softly, "I hope she got a good grade on it." Lord knows WHAT the paper was about.. Did it take a tabloid bent, or about women in business, women in technology.. who knows? "That is very sweet." As the offer for Bunny to get in the car is given, Pepper sits forward again, her eyes doing a sidelong glance to Tony on that 'oops' and nods ever so slightly. Not jealous anymore? But.. Pepper turns to look at Tony fully, her head dipping slightly with something of a different //look//. "We do, Tony. In fact, I think there was something on the news about an hour ago." Looking back at Bunny again, her smile is easily intact, "It's okay. We'll have fun, and I think Tony mentioned about your playing the piano, and how he wanted to hear it. It will be a good night, I'm sure."
Bunny Macleod	"It was a good grade regarding the changing demand of women in the workplace and the demands to be Extremely Competant nad the expectation that you're not gonna wanna kow-tow to the older generation of men and their ideals of women in the workplace, especially in leadership positions in business. Got published in Metropolitan University paper. Pretty sure according to the tabloids you two are not only a couple, but have adopted at least two alien babies who have replaced your bodyguards, she's cheating on you with Captain America, you're cheating on her with at LEAST two women from Gotham City--" Bunny hops into the back seat, and she clips in, making sure she's well belted.     "And at least one paper says you're technically the same person but share brainwaves from secret STARK technology." Bunny agreeably relates the deep cut conspiracy theories. "SO! Rain Beau Brite's Piano Bar, I think I sent the coordinates, but it's down on Jersey A street.     She pauses, and then looks to the seat belt, and then to Pepper:     "... should I be worried about his driving?"
Tony Stark	"See, I told you, inspiring all the girls out there to come on out and beat the boys at their own game." Tony pats Pepper on the thigh and then settles back into the driver's seat, waiting to take off as soon as Bunny is secured. As she runs through the rumors, Tony laughs. "They have it all wrong. It's three women, and they are all in Metropolis. I don't need to go slumming it in Gotham." He winks over at Pepper as he fires up the engine of the car. "It is not so much that we share brainwaves, such as we are both programmed with the same genius, and so of course our thoughts are similar." He glances up into the rear view mirror as Bunny asks. "What do you think?" There is a grin, and then Tony punches it, the car lurching forward as if it had a jet engine in the back. Which it might very well have.
Pepper Potts	Bunny's explanation and recitation of her sister's work has Pepper's attention coming around again. Her smile turns a touch gentler, perhaps a little warmer as she nods. "If she would like a tour of Stark Tower, let me know." Obviously at least the sibling knows how to get in touch! Brows rise into her browline as her expression turns towards amusement. "The two women sound about right," is offered with more than a little humor. Tony still does have something of a reputation, and until a ring is on a finger? He's still one of the world's most eligible bachelor. "If we think alike, I think the world might explode." Those words are delivered with an obviously fond look towards the driver before she looks back again. "I," and Pepper begins slowly, "would simply make sure you're buckled in." Tony's addition gains an amused glance; ever since they've been together, she's not had to worry- even when she had doubts. "At least you have standards. Metropolis. Gotham? No.." Pepper shakes her head quickly, "No." The car's lurch forward gains something of an unprepared squeak from Pepper as she is pushed back into the seat with the acceleration. "Tony!"
Bunny Macleod	"Mr. Stark!" Bunny gives a small yelp as Tony speeds up, and in spite of the fact that she hangs around and works with speedsters, she's clearly more intimidated by Tony's driving! She gives a squeak, holding onto the belt and pressing herself back into the backseat as Tony speeds off! Her eyes go wide, and she loses her breath a moment. Anyone watching in the mirror might notice the gasoline-like sheen on her skin, a swirl of prismatic color in response to her sudden fear!     "PleaseDon'tGetUsArrested!"
Tony Stark	There is that Tony grin as both women squeak, but he takes a turn sharply and roars the car towards the destination. As Bunny raises a concern, he twist around in his seat to look back at her. "Oh, no, that doesn't happen anymore. They love me." Someone must be driving the car, right? How many different AIs does Tony have?
Pepper Potts	It's a feat, really, getting speed on New York City streets, if one were to stop and think about it. Drag racing is sitll a thing, and as the sun goes down and the moon rises higher in the skies, the traffic does die down a little, but never absent. It makes racing more fun! Slolom! The apartment buildings fall away, turning into businesses, some with the gates down and others with their names in neon blazing the path of the sidewalks. If there's an AI driving the car, Pepper's not letting on, or she's a really good actress. She shakes her head; the license plate usually says it all: Stark1
Bunny Macleod	Bunny doesn't know. Bunny suspects, but she doesn't know, but she's still entirely not used to riding in cars in the first place. Her general modes of transport either fifty people, result in a princess cary, or are roller skates! But she's doing good swallowing down her fear, minus her pale expression and wide blue eyes as she sits in the back seat of Stark1 (as if it's some sort of space-age transport and not a regular car, which it isn't regardless) and she finally finds her voice again to pipe up with "We're almost there!"
Tony Stark	Laughing softly, Tony turns back to resume the wheel. Another twist and turn, and they pull up, as Bunny points out, at the piano bar. Pulling up is not entirely accurate, as more like they suddenly halt before it, sans the screeching. "Alright, everybody out." The doors open and Tony steps out, looking about for the valet. Frowning as he finds that there is none, he pushes a button on the key and once the other two occupants are out, the car whizzes off in search of its own parking spot. "So, are you going to sing with us, Bunny, or just play accompaniment?" He had not told Pepper that any singing would be involved.
Pepper Potts	As the car pulls up, Pepper looks down at her outfit; probably a little overdressed for the establishment, but that's okay! She can own it, no worries. She waits for Tony to open the doors and for his presence on her side; and as she exits the car, she looks around quickly. "So this is it." It's a statement. Bunny's exit from the car gets a quick glance, and she waits for the younger woman. '...sing with us...' What? Pepper looks back at Tony, and her gaze lingers for a long moment before she exhales softly. Ready to go in and have a good evening!
Bunny Macleod	"Might be back-up vocals, but I thought you guys were gonna take the lead. I mean, how often do you get piano virtuoso accompaniment at live karaoke and surprise everyone of the patrons?" Bunny asks, taking out a card and showing the bouncer at the door, who looks at Bunny with surprise, Pepper with Admiration, and Stark? Well. Tony Stark is Tony Stark, doesn't really matter that the bouncer is in a state of awe.     "Yous didn't say that yous're bringin' superheroes!" the bouncer protests and lifts the chain so that Tony, Pepper and Bunny can bypass the line to get in.     While the outer fascade is nothing special -- faded Florida Pink and Teal with RAIN BEAU BRITE'S in pink neon lights, and the inside of the club beckons with a heavy bass beat.     She gives a look up to Pepper, and then back to Tony.     "Did he... uh... neglect to tell you that I'm basically the live karaoke machine? Did you pick a song?"
