On hopefully joining the crew at TLV... In two months. sob. And IM2

[didknowthat]

You know just as well as I do that he wants us there. We've all agreed, he's just going to get into more trouble and I actually kind of like cleaning up his messes sometimes. It's habitual. It's what I'm good at.

And no, I really don't think worrying about Hammer being ... Anything, anytime soon, is a good idea. He's fine where he is.

[How do you like cleaning up his messes, her mind is blown. But:] You're very good at it.

[didknowthat]

[It's kind of one of those things that you do for so long, it becomes what you love. Or hate. She hates it, but she likes it, too. Or maybe it's just that she likes Tony. Probably.]

I've just had a lot of practice. You weren't bad yourself, actually.

[persuadeyou]

That was the cover. I'm good at my job, Ms. Potts, whatever it has to be.

[But there's an undertone that says seriously, he's all yours, she never wants to play clean up for him again.]

[didknowthat]

[Sob Natasha, come back. She loved having a competent assistant that could actually work as well as she could. Better even, if she's honest. Can she rent you for a few weeks? Holiday hours, maybe?]

Yes, of course. I just mean- Nevermind. Good at everything must look amazing on the resume. It.. was already very impressive.

[gammabruce]

Don't you worry sometimes that you're enabling his messes? Just... out of curiosity. [From the guy that's headed there soon too.]

[didknowthat]

[There's a thought. Something that actually makes her hesitate before answering.]

I don't think so. I don't jump to clean them up- and I definitely don't clean up all of them. [Just, you know. The corporate ones. And his laundry.]

[worldsbestmarksman]

It's a prison where the inmate gets his own personal executive assistant. [Clint knows this feel]

[didknowthat]

[Yes, a prison ship, sob. Don't remind her.]

I imagine my job will be a little more restricted, but yes, that's the general idea. [Tony needs a babysitter okay. No one can deny this.]

[worldsbestmarksman]

[Awkward shrug] Given that one of my writer's uh.

...Other puppets is becoming his friend I'd say he needs somebody looking out for his influence.

[didknowthat]

Is this ... other muse of your writer's a not-so-great influence, then? [S-sob. Yaaaay.]

[imfollowinghim]

No offense, but doesn't making his own mistakes mean he's gonna have to grow up a little?

[didknowthat]

If that were the case for Tony... He should technically be over a thousand years old.

[imfollowinghim]

God help us.

[thestarspangledman]

...I'll keep an eye on him until you get there, if that helps at all, Ms. Potts.

[didknowthat]

[Sgnjvdks Stebe.]

Thank you, Steve. I'm just .. worried about him getting hurt.

[Which to be fair, she always is. Sure, she trusts him as Iron Man... But that doesn't mean she doesn't fear for his safety. Especially after the events of New York.]

[thestarspangledman]

[A small lipquirk.]

I'll make sure he won't. Even though we're not ...exactly getting along just yet.

[nobigdealokay]

...So he's your boyfriend?

[didknowthat]

[snjgkfvs]

Sort of, I suppose- Yes.

[nobigdealokay]

..You're totally serious.

Oh my god you're going-what are you doing it because you love him? Is this gonna be some kind of romance thing?

I can dig it. It's a little like Vicki. I mean kind of star-crossed romance thing. You guys are like a Carpenter's song come to life.

[diedinnewyork]

[Yes good.]

Place sure will look prettier with you around.

[didknowthat]

[Oh lawd.]

Um, thank you. [SHE'S HEARD THINGS ABOUT YOU, SIR. T H I N G S.]

[diedinnewyork]

[All good right? Of course all good. What else would there be.]

Hey look, Stark's an all right guy. He deserves a little snatch.

[therealgenius]

Did someone call for me?

[PEPPER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE]

[didknowthat]

[DAMNIT SON. Also hey. You. You're that one that Pepper mun and everyone wants to lure to TLV... Also get out Hammer, she hates you. ]

No, no one called.

[therealgenius]

[Sorry to disappoint, Hammer's mun only care about shame/humiliation/horror and not a game. Also time constraints and shit, WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE DEAR MUN AND BAKERSTREET PEPPER]

You sure?
