oh, god. Pepper/Bond. NNNNGGGG. (uh, you've seen the new trailer? Y/Y?)
I feel rather like MIT totally went with somebody else about a month after he got captured, not to be mean or anything but hey, he's gone. And they need a speaker, they're on a deadline.
But Tony didn't think about that, and when he came back, he was like "Pepper, don't forget to put together a thing for MIT!" And completely rides roughshod over the fact that MIT has a speaker planned, he doesn't even notice. And since it's basically the only thing besides a) Iron Man, b) the Mission, c) ALCOHOL, and d) living in the shop for days and being totally fucked up about Obie while pretending he's not, that Tony's even paid attention to, so Pepper gets right on that and makes it happen.
At which point, yes, he completely abandons the cards and starts making shit up. And the faculty is vaguely despairing, but the kids love him. He gets 63 overt offers of sex in the first thirty minutes after his speech (split about 70-30 female-male; usually the ratio is closer, but... it is MIT. There are fewer sweet gay boys and more geeks, of the sad bad kind, which Tony thinks is a poor trade-off) and the number of mouth-quirks and flirty-eyes and cocked eyebrows is simply not worth keeping track of.
