[Before anything else there's the sound of rustling followed by a door shutting. Pepper is still trying to keep Tony from overexerting himself and overloading his 'heart'. It's been a long and difficult struggle. She didn't expect that she'd need to make this announcement, and with how busy she's been with the stubborn genius she hadn't even really thought of making it. However, after her conversation with Johnny she realized that she ought to have made it. Sadly, Bruce is going to end up put in the spotlight here. Hey, he's the best they've got without a 'badassium' heart.]

Stark Industries would like to extend it's facilities to those who are still able to assist with the current situation. If you're among those who are still capable and wish to help, then please see Dr Bruce Banner at the Stark Industries laboratories. Thank you.

[When she speaks this time Pepper drops the 'CEO' sounding edge to her voice. Her tone is sincere, soft, and slightly tired.]

I'm sorry I haven't been able to check in with anyone since all this started. If there's anything you need ... [It's not enough. She knows it's not enough. She knows that at least two of the people she holds dear here are in real danger, and there's nothing she can do about it but offer words. It's not nearly enough and she knows it, but it's all she has.] If there''s anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do everything in my power to help. I promise.

Someone is with him, but if we can't fix this then there's nothing we can do to help him. That's why it's so important.

[There's a heavy pause before Costigan speaks extremely slowly, clearly not sure about his words even as he speaks them.]

You have to admit, there's something.. unnatural, about all of it. Maybe.. Maybe this is a way of- of keeping things contained.

[A pause, because she's right but he hates to admit it.]
