"Yeah, that really foiled my escape plan..." It's dry, and half-distracted as she studies Pepper with a faint frown. She looks fine. That's something - surprising, really. She'd been half-convinced she wouldn't survive the adjustment period if Tony didn't step in to fix it, so either he did and Extremis is stable, or...

Or...

She's not sure what the other option is. Thoughts aren't connecting the way she should, which she's pretty sure she can blame on whatever's in the IV.

"How long... What happened?" Tony must be alive, or Pepper wouldn't be so calm. Hell, Pepper wouldn't be here. If Tony's alive... Killian's either dead or in jail. She's not sure where that leaves her.
