>> Ah, that makes sense. I can see them not wanting to tell too many people, especially if Pepper and Tony aren't together. <<
The Avengers have been playing this very close to their chests thus far.
Tony and Pepper are no longer a romantic couple, because they wanted such different things in that kind of relationship. But Pepper is still CEO of Stark Industries and that side of Tony's life.
>> Though, now that I think about it, even if they were together, I still can't quite see them telling her. Maybe they would tell her, it's a hell of a secret to keep from your SO, but I cannot see them showing her, at all. <<
I think part of the issue is that Tony and Pepper aren't as good of a match as they both wish they were. It's just that Pepper did so much better at keeping Tony stable than anyone had before, it seemed like a great match to them, and they thought that would be enough. Pepper can steer him somewhat, but she lacks Phil's ability to help Tony feel safe and competent.
But if something like ageplay was going to work with Tony and Pepper, they would've discovered it together. So it's not something that Tony would really want to broach with her.
