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.
Okay, and also (this is like the first chance I have had to talk about this stuff out with other fans and I am LOVING THIS), Pepper is, like, crazy protective of Tony. Really, really, really protective. She follows him regardless of what he asks her to do on a moral level (oh dear lord, "taking out the trash"-- she's protecting him FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS OWN ACTIONS, then and a lot of other times), but the one time she threatens to quit, it's because he's putting himself in mortal danger and asking her to help him and she seriously cannot deal.
Which leads me to the point in which I figure well, you do not appear to be a crazy person, and I want other IM people helping me hash out my fic, so I am going to friend you back. (Oh please don't be crazy. Or mean. Or a giant robot.)
