[notbuiltforthis]

[Shortly after Boss' broadcast to the entire city, the unwilling residents of the Venetian District will receive another message.

Pepper is standing on top of a roof with the face-plate on the Mark VII suit flipped open so she can be seen and possibly recognized.]Firstly, I would like to issue an apology if anyone was inconvenienced or injured

(video hack. because duh.)

Potts! I'm liking the new look. It's got a certain...appeal, can't quite put my finger on it.

[notbuiltforthis]

[...Oh, Tony. She should have expected that.]

You can't put your finger on it? How strange.

[ironfail]

Yeah, I might just have to ponder it some more. Could you be a doll and hold the camera farther back so I can see you better?

[notbuiltforthis]

[She holds the camera out as far as she can.]

It doesn't fit very well. I'm going to have to complain to the tailor.

[ironfail]

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Literally.

[notbuiltforthis]

[Don't remind her.]

At least JARVIS is perpetually levelheaded.

[ironfail]

Oh yeah, you've gotten to test the suit out already? Wait, were you in a fight?

[notbuiltforthis]

I was more of a distraction than an active fighter.

[ironfail]

Are you okay? How'd the suit handle?

[notbuiltforthis]

Of course I am. [The bruises are fading.]

It handled well. I was learning.

[ironfail]

Wasn't it fantastic? [Because being Iron Man is kind of the best thing ever.] You'll have to give me details later, see if there's anything I need to tweak.

[notbuiltforthis]

It was exciting? [She can't yet think of it as a fantastic experience, not even after a couple of hours of practicing when she wasn't in danger.]

You can ask me all about it when this is all over.

[ironfail]

You'd like it better if the suit fit more - [He pauses, eyes going wide as he gets an idea.] I should build you your own suit.

[notbuiltforthis]

Thor suggested it as well. [She isn't entirely averse to the idea.]

It certainly would be more comfortable.

[ironfail]

Did he? I knew I liked him for a reason. [After the initial, you know, fight in the forest.] Man, you were scary before, imagine showing up to a board meeting in the armor.

[notbuiltforthis]

I'm not going to show up at any meetings in an Iron Man suit. Or...Iron Woman suit either.
