[A LOT LESS HAPPY WHEN PEPPER IS THE ONE IN DANGER]

... he's dead.

[stickswithit]

It's probably better for your nerves that you didn't know this was happening.

[ oh, Pepper, you're in for a ride. someone's going to have some concentration issues soon ]

[biggerstick]

It's so not. What the hell, I should've had a suit guarding you.

[stickswithit]

You didn't know this would happen. Besides, I should be able to take care of myself.

[biggerstick]

Psychopaths are my thing, not yours.

[stickswithit]

I wonder about that with some of the clients I've had to deal with.

[biggerstick]

Are you okay?

[stickswithit]

[ tight smile ]

You're probably best not knowing yet.

[biggerstick]

Pepper, I sort of need to know.

[stickswithit]

You're not going to like what they're planning to do.

[biggerstick]

I figured.

[stickswithit]

They're using Extremis on me, but I'm sure you're aware of that.

[ might be shifting away. just in case ]

[biggerstick]

[takes her hand]

I'll fix it.

[stickswithit]

Maybe you shouldn't touch me. You know, in case something happens.

[biggerstick]

Nothing's going to happen. Look at how many hits I've taken and there are no new bruises on me.

[stickswithit]

[ reluctant, but leans back against him ]

So, this is probably what happened to me in December?

[biggerstick]

Probably.

[stickswithit]

That would have been helpful to know back then.

[biggerstick]

Yeah. Well. It hasn't happened again, has it?

[stickswithit]

No, luckily not. Let's see where that stands by the end of this.

[biggerstick]

... yeah. Fair enough.

[stickswithit]

[ leans to kiss him ]

I trust you, though.

[biggerstick]

Mmh. I got this.

[panic attacks and all]

[stickswithit]

You're the lead. Of course the hero saves the day.

[ except not ]

[biggerstick]

[I'M DOING MY BEST OK]
