Miss Pepper Potts. Taking out the trash and babysitting Tony Stark.

Is that all you think I do, mun? You have no idea. If only my work schedule was that simple. Taking care of Tony is a full time job on its own let alone the thousands of other things I do to keep Stark Industries running smoothly.

They really have no idea, do they Miss Potts?

[There's a soft sigh coming from that voice.]

The joys of being a part of the Stark household. ...Have you had a chance to sit down for tea?

[very_tasteful]

[ Ah JARVIS, at least if there's one person who can understand her woes and duties, it was him]

No I haven't, but thank you for asking.

[willthatbeallsir]

[The feeling's mutual, Pepper. It takes a special person to care for Mr. Stark, after all.]

A pity. I shall prepare some for you immediately.

He's down in his laboratory hard at work, I assume. I'll be sure to get the nearest hospital on speed dial.

Heaven knows he doesn't like to wait.

[very_tasteful]

[Indeed it does. Try adding emotions and affection into the mix]

There's no need, really. I'll be fine without it.

[Don't go to too much trouble, she means]

Sometimes I think you do three times as much work around here as I do, JARVIS.

[manofiron]

Excuse you? Taking care of me?

[very_tasteful]

Who makes sure you arrive to your meetings at all? Who keeps you on schedule? Sometimes I think you'd live in your little workshop if I didn't pull you out of it.

[Who basically runs your company for you?]

[manofiron]

Okay, for the record? That sounds more like torture. Just. FYI.

[ He can't tie his shoes without you, Pepper. ]

[very_tasteful]

Well it's the truth, Tony.

[Oh she knows. JARVIS can only do so much, after all]

You don't even know your own social security number.

[hasthekeys]

[Hey, you have help with taking care of Tony, Pepper. Should he remind your mun of that?]

Need some help, Boss?

[very_tasteful]

[Nope. She knows and she's more then happy to let most of the body guard and physical work to you Happy]

I can handle it. I was just explaining to my mun that there's a lot more that goes on then she thinks.

[hasthekeys]

[Good thing "Natalie" is an Avenger now, or he'd be afraid his job was on the line.

...mildly afraid.]

No one better at that sort of thing than you, Miss Potts.

[very_tasteful]

[Just because you got beat down by a girl....who happens to be a deadly spy]

JARVIS tends to his technical needs, you help keep him safe, and I make sure he gets where he needs to be and does what he needs to do in a reasonable amount of time.

[DIDDLING ON FANCY TOUCH PHONE]

Pepper Appreciation Week? Jack is going to be so thrilled.

[very_tasteful]

[Alright, now she's definitely flustered]

Tony was just joking around about that!

[She hopes. Deep down, deeeeep deep down, she knows better]

[therealgenius]

[BOOP BEE BOOP]

I hope so. I need my assistant—not all of us just decide to up and take vacations whenever we feel like it.

[very_tasteful]

I suggested a day. He wanted a week! He always wants things to be grander then they need to be.

[Not that it's any of your business, is it?]

Are you texting?

[spittake]

And this just makes you more powerful than the rest of us Miss Potts. [And Bruce means it because really he can't see how she does it all.]

[very_tasteful]

Why thank you Bruce, but I'm not sure powerful is the word I'd go with. I can't do any of that superhero stuff.

[But she could keep Tony sort of in line and run a company at the same time]

Or maybe I'm just Super CEO woman.

[spittake]

That's it. [Laughs a little]

Here have an AU Loki for your brain breaking pleasure

[not_insane]

Well it is nice to see you again Miss Potts.

[Have a legitimate and non-creepy smile.]

how is he AU exactly?

[very_tasteful]

Hello, Loki.

[Still kind of wary]

Well to put it simply Thor and Loki switched places on the hero/villain spectrum. So he's an avenger

[not_insane]

Ah...[He seems to try to come up with a way to explain this.]

Before you get far too concerned where I'm from I am Tony's ally not his enemy.

[starknaked]

Is this leading up to a resignation? I'm not accepting it.

[very_tasteful]

I'm not resigning. My mun's just curious as to what goes on behind the scenes at Stark Industries.

[starknaked]

Board meetings that I tend to sleep through. Finances I always just sign off on. Sending flowers to prisoners turned former competitors. Oh wait, that's a personal hobby.

It's a lot of tedious work. Why do you think I turned it over.
