[Tony's]

"Your robber is getting bold" I heard my Peter say as I exited the meetings room
The men were outside already, waiting for me to dismiss them

"What does that mean?" I asked, crossing my arms
"It means exactly that. You think you've lost 11 million all in all. In fact, you've been steadily losing 4 million every month for the past year"

"They look like accidents, but that's simply not true. This month it was 7 million. They would think 'oh he's a billionaire, he wouldn't care for a few millions' but, these few millions accumulate.

Tony Stark I'm afraid one of your men is the robber" he finally concluded, looking up from the tablet for the first time since I exited

His face was still illuminated by the faint blue light, his finger paused midway between the device and his chest

"..What?" I asked, more menacingly than intended
He shrugged, tossing the thing into the sofa next to Pepper's desk, across the door to the meetings room

"They're not as loyal as you thought"
"And do you have proof of your accusations?"
He rolled his eyes at me

"Tony, I'm not dumb. I wouldn't accuse your men of betraying you if I had no reason to. Only God knows how you can traumatize a man into absolute loyalty. All the money lost was wired to an investment company. One for weapon development and such.

Red compass. Ring a bell?
With such an atrocious name, I bet it does.
Well the money wired to this bogus company has been near immediately forwarded back to the man who wired them in the first place"

"I mean.. as immediate as wire transfers across continents would allow.."

Peter grabbed the tablet again and showed a picture of him "Dmitry Iavnovs. Know 'em?"
I grabbed the tablet from him nearly crushing it

"Are you sure of this, Peter?"
He shrugged "Do you trust me, Mr. Stark"
I looked into his eyes where I saw confidence, defiance and challenge

While I still stood entranced with him in our little staring contest, I raised a hand motioning for my men to leave "Bring him to me"

"Of course, boss" one said before they all rushed to leave. My hand lowered from its high position and down to my little angel's cheek

"Didn't you just do wonders on your first day?" He smiled shyly, shrugging once more before turning away to leave or fumble with something

I pulled him back, gently caressing his face some more "God.. you make me.." I took a shuddering breath, closing my eyes

"I make you..?" He asked, but I only shook my head
"You seem to be concentrating"
"Yes.." I whispered

"On what might that be, Tony?"
"Explaining this feeling.. though, I think there's no explaining it. You make me feel invincible"

"Though it is the opposite?" He laughed
"I can't offer you protection really and I'm not exceptionally strong or anything.."

"Yes, but you did find our little robber"
He took a small breath and backed away "Might have, Mr. Stark. Might have"

"-It could all be coincidence"
"And do you believe that?"
"..No" he mumbled walking to the couch

My arms wrapped around his waist and I rested my head on his shoulder. He was still half leaning down to pick up his jacket
"Then a coincidence it is not" I mumbled

"Then a coincidence it is not.." he repeated, straightening his back and leaning into me
"What're you gonna do?"

"Give him what he deserves. Don't worry about any of that, Sugar" I said, combing my hand through his soft hair. He hummed closing his eyes and enjoying our small moment
