[threeolives]

[ Muffled sounds of chaos can be heard in the background, as though through a pane of glass. Then, a sigh. ]

Great. Another curse day when I will be staying inside.

[ Suddenly fearful. ] …They can't climb stairs, can they?



[ ooc: Pepper's holed up in her office at City Solutions. Open for action to anyone there. ]

Don't need to climb. They can hover.

[threeolives]

Great. Just great.

[threeolives]

That's the plan.

[charring]

You can get them with electricity. Maybe Tony can help you figure something out? Fire can't do a damn thing.

Text

[threeolives]

Electricity, got it. Might just try to stay hidden, though.

[charring]

That's a good plan. Stay as safe as you can, okay? This is going to be bad.

[ironmanic]

JARVIS tells me you're in your office. Think you can come down to my workshop?

[He wants to know where you are. At all times.]

> Action

[threeolives]

Okay! Coming!

[ She was hoping he'd be there, and she's so glad he is as she races to the elevator, pounding the button. ]

JARVIS, come on! Open this! [ Yes, JARVIS, she will blame you for the slowness of the elevator. ]

[threeolives]

Headed to Tony's workshop. I'll tell him about the electricity thing.

Are you safe?

Text

[charring]

Yeah. I'm at Ed's. I don't think he's going to let me leave any time soon.

Text

[threeolives]

Good. Thank him for me.

Text

[charring]

I will.

[ironmanic]

AS YOU WISH, MISS POTTS.

[The elevator doors open immediately, and the ride down will be almost instantaneous.]

[iwasherefirst]

They don't have to climb 'em. They can fly.

[threeolives]

Yeah, getting that now. What are these things?

Action

[threeolives]

[ She jumps in the elevator, holding on for dear life as it flies down. When the doors open again, she teeters out on shaky legs, going straight for Tony for support. ]

Action

[ironmanic]

[He draws her into his arms, hugs her tight without a smartass remark. He just holds her.]

[iwasherefirst]

Daleks. They're aliens and they don't care 'bout anythin' 'cept killin' everyone and everything.

Action

[threeolives]

[ She speaks into his shoulder, not wanting to let go just yet. ]

Tony what do we do?

Action

[ironmanic]

Well, I plan to take a few down.

Not that I'm not enjoying this, too.

Action

[threeolives]

[ She smiles, because this is nice, and she'd love to enjoy more of it, without the element of flying death robots. ]

Charlie! Charlie said electricity can take them down.

Action

[ironmanic]

Electricity, huh?

Thanks, Pepper. That ought to work just fine.

Action

[threeolives]

Good. Okay, good. You do that, I'll just... sit over here. And try to breathe.

Action

[ironmanic]

[And he chances a kiss.]

You'll be fine down here.

Action

[threeolives]

[ The kiss is welcomed gratefully, like a security blanket. ]

I know.
