You've reached the voicemail of Donna Paulsen. I am currently unavailable, but if you leave your name and a brief description of what you need, I will get back to you just as soon as I can.

If you have business with Harvey Specter, please state your business, and I will get back to you sooner.

Thank you.

[Oh. Well.

...

Superhero, huh.]

It's inventive, I'll give you that one. Do I get to know which superhero is getting hitched, then?

[that's. Pretty much a yes regardless.]

I wouldn't suggest calling anything inventive until you hear how this one got his powers-

But I would hope you're fond of Captain America or I might have to cut our love affair short. He's a personal friend of mine, you could say, and it wouldn't do to have a groomsmen without a lovely lady on his arm. Don't make me into that lonely chap, Prima Donna, I'm begging you.

[Captain America.

Seriously. Captain America is real and here and she's invited to his wedding--

By Howard Stark, Iron Man's father. Wow she can just sense Mike's jealousy.]

Done. Though if I'm just there so you can have a pretty trinket on your arm, we might have to have a talk.

[He raises a brow in response and resists the urge to roll his eyes. Instead there's a casual little shrug and-]

If I wanted a trinket, I would've taken the cutie from the cafe. Though I'd only be doing myself a disservice with a boring date and Steve a bit of an embarrassment because Howard Stark does not invite floozies to weddings.

I was just hoping that the lovely, intelligent lady that I spoke with the other day might be willing to lend me her time and attention for a night.

[Yeah don't you roll your eyes at her, she's still trying to get a feel for you, bucko--

But ha.]

That I am more than willing to agree to.

[A smile.]

You'll have to forgive me. We've only talked once, and I try to judge a man's character by a number of things.

[he's tempted to ask for that number of things but. that'd only mess with her judgment process, wouldn't it? chances of an answer are slim anyway so Howard just manages a smile]

You'll have to tell me how I do.

No need for forgiveness in the first place though, Donna. A lovely lady like yourself has to keep her guard up against all the sleazeballs out there.

[...well. So far so good, at least, Howard.]

I figure that shouldn't be a problem with a good friend of Captain America.

Superhero, and all.

But trust me, you'll know what I think.

I'll take your word for it.

[but then it's just an amused little noise]

You should call him Steve, by the way. Steve Rogers and Margaret Carter- but she goes by Peggy. Soon to be Margaret Rogers, I suppose. Just so you know who the bride and groom are.

[and for a moment Howard doesn't talk like he's got something to prove

it's just temporary but he seems to grow a bit warmer at the mention of his friends]

[She makes an 'ahhh' sound, nodding--though she notes how he speaks of his friends, and d'aw, that's cute.

So there is more than ego to the genius, that's good.]

Oh, it's Peggy's wedding then? I should've expected that--1940's and all.

[She's just musing.]

We've met. I'll be looking forward to it, then.

[That actually makes him laugh a bit.]

Funny how you've met Peggy but not the Captain. Might seem that the lovely lady may be the one leading this marriage.

[....]

Though now that I think about it, that could be seen from a mile away.

Well, she does seem like a strong lady. Superhero or not, I wouldn't underestimate her.

[A grin.

She very much likes Peggy.]

Quite the wise decision. She's a gem, that's for sure.

[but he can appreciate it when strong women are able to bond over what they've gone through. so Howard just manages a grin.]

But Donna doll, tell me, have you gotten yourself all settled in this world now?

[D'aw. She appreciates his opinion of Peggy. It's pretty clear he's fond of her.

So she just smiles at that before nodding easily.]

Yep, all settled. Harvey and Mike have some studying to do, it seems, but I doubt that'll take long.

[It's just that she works with geniuses, Howard.]

That's swell. [and he does manage a grin in response] They seemed like nice fellas. Not bad for lawyers. We could use more of their type where I come from.

[the sweet old 1940's]

By the way Donna doll, I never got to ask. How're you associated with them? You a smooth-talking legal lady too?

[She laughs at that, shaking her head.]

Me? Nah.

I'm Harvey's assistant. I make sure things run smoothly so he can go be a smooth-talking legal man.

[She pulls the strings. It suits her better.]

[well there's a slight chuckle at that]

Ahh, so you're the one managing it all for him. Even better.

Got that right.

[And she is pleased by his response to it too because damn straight she manages it all.]

If you ever need anything from him, you're better off coming to me.

[Lawyerly things and all.]
