He's going to think I'm all sentimental again, you realize that right?

And you should pick a canon point for me or you'll get yourself lost and fed up with things. I've been around long enough to see when that happens you get yourself backed into corners. I do like that you're challenging yourself with me.

Now go finish your coffee and you should finish up that one article you're working on before you really work on the rest of the journal layout.

I guess I'm lucky mine isn't even touching layouts. That might mean it's serious business.

[savedhisheart]

She only messes with them so she can actually read it, the default's usually a pain for her.

That and I've been hounding her for a journal for about four months now. [Hey careful Pepper, you could go back in the box]

How you doing Clint?

[swissarmybow]

The default doesn't do anything for anyone. But good for you, actually wanting this. Most of us seem to be unwilling.

Decent. Brain-screwed. You?

[savedhisheart]

Figure as long as she's reasonable means she won't do horrible things with me. Not only would that ruin my day would piss off Tony, and well, I've heard and seen there's about an army of him around.

I heard about that. [She's not sure what to say about it] Mun says too bad he caught the arrow he deserved it.

I'm fine, working on a few new projects so they're keeping me busy.

[swissarmybow]

Hey, I blew him sky high in the end, and that last part felt pretty good.

That's good. I'm playing guard-slash-mercenary, as usual. How're the repairs going?

[savedhisheart]

[She gives a small nod] Glad it helped you. You know if you need to talk to someone who isn't really tied to the group I wouldn't mind lending an ear now and then.

At Tony speed of course. I may be able to keep up with him at most things, but only enough to slow it down for the rest of us. And Tony won't tell me why the floor and ceiling have to be repaired in the penthouse. I think it might have something to do with Dr. Banner with the smirk the two give each other when I ask.

[swissarmybow]

...That might help. It's hard to get back into the groove, even if I'm back into the swing of it.

He didn't tell you what happened?

[savedhisheart]

I won't even pretend to know what it feels like, but I know it must be tough.

Other than what I saw on the news, I wasn't informed of a lot. Though with how the mun keeps snickering, I think it might be safer if I don't know.

[swissarmybow]

It feels pretty hollow, to be honest. Like ringing in your ears.

...Don't ask, but it was funny. And it was really nice to have him on the other end of an arrow.

[shieldsupernanny]

I think sentimentality suits you, Pepper.

[savedhisheart]

Why thank you Phil? [Smiles at him.]

We all know that Tony lacks it at times.

[shieldsupernanny]

He does. It is a wonder you can stand him.

[savedhisheart]

Lots of patience. [There's a small grin] And the fact he'd be lost without me helps. If he gets too full of himself I threaten to leave. Usually works though he knows I hate writing resumes.

[shieldsupernanny]

Well, for my part, I'm glad you're around. You do make it easier to work with him.

[savedhisheart]

Well helps that you make it hard to say no. [She smiles] I'm sure he'll warm up to seeing you around eventually.

[shieldsupernanny]

I get that a lot. I'm a personable man. [But he doubts that Stark will ever warm to him.]

[savedhisheart]

[Aw come on Coulson, he might, it'll just be a really really long time before he admits it out loud.] And I get that. Still working on his people skills.

[hotrodred]

You know, I'm kind of jealous of your mun for having you around.

[His own mun doesn't know the first thing about Tony-sitting.]

[savedhisheart]

[It's a hard job someone has to do it right?]

Well after keeping you in line, my mun's a piece of cake Tony. [She's grinning though.] Not that I would really quit my job of course.

[hotrodred]

True. Most muns don't have multimillion dollar companies to run or alter-egos to deal with... [or massive egos or enough narsissism to choke a horse.]

My mun's sending me off to some game where I'll be on my own... [no Pepper, no JARVIS. How will he survive?] But that's okay! I'll make it. I always do. [Nope not trying to guilt you into anything Pepper.]

[savedhisheart]

Oh god forbid they all had that problem. [Because really how would we all cope with Tony in our head?]

Mine's still at the point she's worried with how I sound. Though really, you on your own. Will the game actually survive? [Because a bored Tony without JARVIS or Pepper to reel him in is a scary thought.] And you always do seem to make it through things Tony. I'm sure you'll do fine. Though, I'm sure she'll be looking for a place for me soon enough. She hates writing apps as much as I hate writing resumes though.

[hotrodred]

[Tony's mun is coping well enough... surprisingly he is not her most difficult muse.]

I shouldn't be too bored, actually. There are monsters and beasties to deal with every night and Hammertime is there; along with his asshole brother. [By which he means Thor and Loki of course.] My mun is taking forever with my app because hey... I'm a complicated guy! But you know that.

[savedhisheart]

[Pepper's not that difficult, this mun's just not used to the role.]

[The nickname causes Pepper to giggle a little.] Thought that was Justin? Or am I falling behind again?

And I know you're complicated, to even attempt to tackle an app for you is reason enough to give her an award.

[hotrodred]

Nah, Hammer isn't cool enough to be Hammertime. He's more like... doing time. [He grins. Oh yeah, that was a good one, if he does say so himself.]

Don't tell her that! She might actually expect me to give her something other than my grand presence gracing her headspace.

[savedhisheart]

[She's going to try to hide a groan, though it was expected.]

How about just promise not to have one of your parties in headspace...Okay not too big of a party.
