how adorable was Pepper's interaction with Coulson at the plant? "Oooh. Is that a super-high tech lock picking thing?" Because she's been around Tony long enough to find machines neeeeeeeat
It was adorable! I also think that early on in their working relationship, Tony sat her down and told her to ask him any time she didn't understand something. (He probably either thought it was really "cool" that she was interested at all in his stuff or he jumped at the attention, at the lifeline that someone-not-an-engineer could be and was interested in him) Because I also loved in the scene with her sticking her hand in his chest that she asked what Operation was ... and even though he brushed her question off then (because, um, time of the essence), I just got the feeling that she never hesitated to ask when he said or did something she didn't understand. Which I thought was cool. :^)
Maybe those are the papers Pepper had him sign before she hustled him out? (Oh, man, poor PEPPER.)
Oh shit! I hate that thought! No, Pepper, don't figure that one out! That would hurt her so much. (Fic Bunny # ...) (Which kinda goes along with Fic Bunny # 192: What kind of PTSD reaction does Pepper have because of (a) being almost killed by Iron Monger and (b) having to push the button and thinking she'd killed Tony. Because that is one of the most powerful things in the movie, to me. That she did push the button when she truly thought it would kill him.) (And Fic Bunny #193: What kind of injuries did Pepper have to heal from, what with all that falling glass, falling monster, and explosions? I mean really, did she get out of and far away from the building, hide in an explosion-proof bunker, or what?)
