What the hell?

[ Pepper's voice sounds frantic as it rushes past the device, which has been left on some surface or another. ]

Oh my god, oh my god, how did—? But my heart is fine, I swear it is. But then if I've got— then that means... oh god Tony.

[ The sound of drawers being slammed shut and closets being flung open stops suddenly with a 'clang'. ]

No way. No. Way. No way! Whenever he hinted, I always told him there was no way I'd let him put me in one of these things, but... well now that I look at it, it doesn't seem so bad. JARVIS?

Yes, Ms. Potts?

Is... is this one for me?

It seems to be built to your specifications. Would you like to put it on and test the fit?

I don't know that I... Is Tony okay, is his heart still working?

Mr. Stark's arc reactor is functioning normally. It would appear that the one in your chest has spontaneously appeared, independent of Mr. Stark's.

Good. That's good. In that case, I guess it wouldn't hurt to just try it on.

[ There is the sound of metallic shifting and a few scattered gasps and giggles from Pepper. The noise subsides, fading into two final 'cthunks' that sound like heavy boots stepping off of a platform. ]

Oh. [ Pepper's voice sounds mechanical and somewhat muffled. ] Oh I like this.

[ The recording ends with repulsor engines powering up, and what sounds like some substantial property damage. ]

[ooc: if you look up at the sky this weekend and you see a red metal suit shooting by, chances are for once that it's not Tony Stark. replies will be from redheadrescue]

Ah- no, I never did those things. Different realm, Ms. Potts. I aide Midgard, not harm it.

Right. Of course. Different universes. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of anything. It's just very fresh for me, what he did. I don't suppose there's any chance of you talking some sense into my-- the Loki from my world. Maybe convince him us Midgard-ites aren't puny creatures to be crushed and enslaved?

...If you're Loki, does that mean you can do what he does? All the mind control and the ...magic laser beams, for lack of a better term?

Magic laser beams? ... no.

A bit of mind control is not beyond me. Among other things.

It was the best way I could think of to describe them. Some energy blast sort of thing. All I know about them is from watching news footage and hearing Tony complain about it not making any scientific sense.

Other things like what? [ She wants to have faith in him, and she does, she just needs a moment to adjust. For someone so good at math, turning "Loki = evil" and "Serrure = good" into "Serrure = Loki = good" is hard. ]

Turning things into other things. Ah- sending people to the moon. Granted, I only did that once. Turning inanimate objects animate. Just a few tricks, really. [He is being careful because he remembers Pepper and he remembers he liked her.]

Ah, well that all sounds fine. Except maybe sending someone to the moon-- I hope you at least brought them back afterwards?

I imagine this all came as a big shock to you when you found out. I mean, you told me about the Avengers in your world, and we never mentioned Loki specifically, but I didn't get the impression you would have been a fan of him.

Ah. No. I think they might have been brought back by a teammate? Possibly.

It matters not.

No, I would not have been. It... was a shock, yes, for all of five seconds, until I touched Mjolnir and then everything was more normal than my memories of being almost a mortal were.

So you are... Iron Woman now?

[ She gives him a look that says 'we need to have a talk about the consequences of your actions, young man' which quickly enough softens when she hears about the return of his memories and then morphs into a thoughtful squint at the mention of the codename. ]

Mmmm, I don't know. Sounds a little too Margaret Thatcher. You're good with words, maybe you can help me come up with something. And don't even think about suggesting Iron Maiden. I don't want to be named after a medieval torture device or a heavy metal band.

[It was Miss America Chavez' own fault she got sent to the moon. He forgets why. Just that she was annoying.]

Margaret who? Was she an Avenger? .... And yet Iron Maiden sounds apropos. Unless you are no longer a- you know, I do not need to know details. The Ironette? Perhaps too cutesy. Your suit might need a skirt in that case.

Ah, no. She was Prime Minister of Great Britain in the Eighties. Journalists used to call her the Iron Lady.

No. Definitely not, both the name and the skirt.

Maybe it doesn't even need "Iron" in it, War Machine doesn't, though I don't think I want something as militaristic as all that either.

Oh. Well. I can see how you would not want to steal someone else's moniker then.

But the skirt sounds like a good idea! Perhaps a tiara, too. It could have lasers in it? [He's not really serious.]

I suppose it would depend on how you intend to use the suit. For peace keeping? For attacking, etc.

[And she's not really smirking. ]

I don't know... if it stays longer than just today and isn't only a curse, I guess I'd want to use it to help people? Keep innocent bystanders out of harm's way.

Could you not have Mister Stark build you one of your own, if it does disappear?

I suppose I could. I'm pretty sure he has blueprints of one somewhere, even though I told him a thousand times I don't want one.

Rethinking that opinion.

All that power, it is appealing, I should think.
