Strike Team Family Values

[killsfengshui.livejournal.com]

She'd given it a few weeks, waiting to see if Leon would contact her about the Strike Team after the Major had vanished. Normally, she wouldn't have waited that long, but the Captain had his hands full, what with the missions, backlash from the Punishment, and the sudden arrival of the Lensmen.

However, she'd allowed herself to become distracted, let it sit for too long. Unacceptably so. And now, it was time to get things hammered out once and for all.

After meeting up with Dean and dragging him away from whatever he'd been doing at the time, she heads for his office. Taking a breath, she closes her eyes and mentally pats herself down, making sure she looked more composed than irritated. Once she'd collected herself, she opened the door and stepped into the office.

...Or, rather, waiting room. Squinting at his door, she looks over to his secretary. The cute redhead. She claps her hands together and points her fingers at Pepper, offering a friendly little smile. "Potts, right? Is the Captain in?"

Dean had been on patrol actually, in between his work on the mill which was almost done.

He gave a friendly charming smile to Pepper, turning on the Winchester charm. Not to flirt so much as be friendly.

"We'd make an appointment but know how hard it is to pencil in between your meetings with Lensmen guys and the latest crap hitting the fan. Just need to ask him about something briefly."

Pepper looked up from her desk as the door opened, and the man and woman entered. Keeping her face composed, she waited for them to speak.

Immune to most charming men, Pepper smiled briefly. "One moment, I'll check his schedule." She ran one slim finger down the list, allowing them some time to calm down, especially Mei-Xing who certainly looked as if she needed it.

Her smile fades at that, and she closes her eyes, turning her head towards his door. The astral realm showed the room to have a single occupant. Looked male enough, from the aura.

"He's in there, alone, and he's not acting like he expects anyone." She opens her eyes and looks down at Pepper. She knows when secretaries are using stalling tactics, she's used the same ones often enough when posing as one. Her fingers twitch, aching to put this woman to sleep, but she manages to resist.

Barely.

Knocking out his secretary might not make the best impression, after all.

Dean glanced at Mei Xing, and nodded at that. He had been in enough offices and places to recognize stalling tactics.

He came forward to lean a hand on her desk, turning on the Winchester charm full force, "Just tell him it's Dean. Leon and I go back to when he was in charge of Security."

Pepper merely smiled, and picked up her pen. She had gotten them to get out of the 'storm the captain's office' mentality at least, so with grace, she waved at the door.

"Leon is free now. You can see yourselves in, I'm sure?"
