[Did I hear 'both'? I'm pretty sure I heard 'both'!]
Pepper was not panicking. Definitely not. Though the level of her not-panic was almost directly proportionate to the level that she should be panicking.
She knew she had no real reason to panic, after all it wouldn't be the first conference Tony had been to that had run longer than expected, it wouldn't be the first time that he'd had to change travel arrangements last minute, and it definitely wouldn't be the first time he'd forgotten to contact her about either situation.
But at the same time, she was worried, especially with everything that had been happening recently, and because Bruce hadn't been able to go along to keep an eye on him. All of that was what had led to her leaving a voicemail for Rhodey that consisted of: "I'm going to find Tony, I think he's doing something stupid, and I need you to pretend to be my husband so I don't have to go alone, call me."
