[Tony finds that his hands are physically shaking when he realises who is calling. He should have known, should have been ready and now Pepper was the one who was paying the price. He's angrier than he's ever remembered being. Not the explosive rage the Hulk was famous for, but the one Bruce Banner had, a low, constant level that hinted of something more.

He doesn't pick up immediately, letting Schmidt leave his message first. It's only after he's played it once that he calls back. He keeps it on video also, if he could attend a press conference the day his parents died and keep a straight face, he could do this as well.]
