“It shouldn’t happen to me.” Tony pouted. “Can’t you have some solar shading glass put up? Make it something that will collect the energy, or something, and we’ll market it. Oh, that’s a great idea – ow, ow, ow.” His scowl deepened.

Please don’t waste my time, Mr. Stark, and actually get ready for your meeting?” She hesitated before turning away from him. “Oh, and by the way, Mr. Stark? That sticky situation you were in the night before? I’ve taken care of it. In case you were wondering.” Without further comment, she opened the car door.
