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.

[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.]

[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]

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[imfollowinghim]

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

[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.

[thestarspangledman]

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

[persuadeyou]

[NOT ENOUGH MONEY INT HE WORLD. But her mouth quirks up at that. Say it like that and you make her sound arrogant, Pepper.]

It was invented by a very generous SHIELD agent. I have a very specific skill set, really.

[didknowthat]

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

[imfollowinghim]

God help us.

[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.]

[didknowthat]

[Grinning.]

He's not that bad. His heart's in the right place, and that actually makes up for a lot of it.

[worldsbestmarksman]

[Trying to figure out which agent. Most likely Coulson].

[didknowthat]

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

[thestarspangledman]

[A small lipquirk.]

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

[didknowthat]

Yes I've- heard. Or haven't- [Is she not supposed to know that? Well, it's probably okay considering Nat just told her but, uh.]

Re: /This comment is not here.

[persuadeyou]

[Coulson probably delegated. And then oversaw. That's how he rolls.]

[didknowthat]

Yes, I'm.. You're both from before the events of New York, if I'm remembering right?

[Something about a wait time for the new canon-update .. thingy. Meaning Tony probably wouldn't be getting along that well.]

[imfollowinghim]

If you say so.

[persuadeyou]

We're more than aware that Mr. Stark can't keep a secret to save his life, Ms. Potts. [Well that's not true, but he doesn't keep many secrets from Pepper.

...Secrets that aren't life threatening, anyway.]

[nobigdealokay]

...So he's your boyfriend?
