- planned to ask tony if it was his fault because, if it was anybody's fault, it had to be tony stark and his years of obsessing over battlestar galactica. three things pepper potts did after the world ended by robot rebellion. iron man. general spoilers. 209 words, pg.

1. Wrote a list of things that she had planned to do before she was thirty-five. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Goals, more goals, goals of goals that were goals. No one ever said that her ambition wasn't there. And then she burned it. It felt better than watching Oprah.

2. Planned to ask Tony if it was his fault because, if it was anybody's fault, it had to be Tony Stark and his years of obsessing over Battlestar Galactica. When she did ask him, he shrugged and drank a little bit more, "You know me better than that, Potts. My robots are hot."

3. Tried to get over the initial despair about the world ending by robots. Or sort of ending, if you’re talking to Tony. But all of it was like an awakening. Which led to wondering if she had picked a different job, married earlier, stop using romance novels as a way of escaping (Tony totally laughed too, when he found them - half-burned, barbequed, and, of course, through the good parts), and kept her mouth shut when she first met Tony Stark. It gets old quickly and the answer is still easy to know - she wouldn’t change a thing.

pairing: tony/pepper, film: the secret saga of pepper potts, character: miss pepper potts, film: the comics do it best
