[Pepper wraps her arm around Natasha's shoulder and pushes the door open. She crowds her through the door and up the stairs.]

Come back to bed.

-and she lets her guide her this time because her body practically is sagging in exhaustion-

Might need a face lift soon if I keep pushing myself like this.

[Pepper says nothing as she leads Natasha back to bed. Eight is going to come much too early and there are a million things Pepper needs to get done before her ten o'clock conference call but she'll take this victory.

It's not the first time she's peeled back the covers and poured Natasha into bed, though sliding in behind her and wrapping her arms around her is still fairly new. Pepper presses lips lightly against Natasha's neck and whispers.]

Sleep.
