Since I've read some of your takes over Pepper, I would like to add one too;

I feel weird about the fact Pepper never understood why Tony was Iron Man. Clearly people say either she was scared that he would die, she was concerned and worried reason she never agreed what he'd become. For me, it's like not letting a soldier protect his country, no matter how worse the situation is, because the wife doesn't want her husband to die.

On the other hand, Tony knew the world might be in danger, and he was right. The world needed him and regardless how many people pushed him down, or he lost everything, he got back up again. She thinks his suits are just "machines" or a "distraction" when actually Tony made them as a coping mechanism to prep himself for the upcoming threat. Unless if she would have like, told him that he was doing everything he can in his power and doesn't have to worry about anything, then I might agree. But what's with literally disagreeing with his Iron Man counterpart?

Part 2 of my ask; Like I get that feeling. The fear. The concern, that someone is going out to fight, and you're afraid they won't come back. But she went way too hard on it. It not just prevented Tony from being Iron Man, but made his paranoia way worse than ever. Seriously, this makes me feel so complicated than ever.

Yes, I agree! I’ve never said P*pper’s fear was unjustified but it’s how she’s merely focused on that and not on how being Iron Man actually helps Tony/how building suits to protect the world is his copying mechanism which is wrong.

She acts only out of how she feels about it and pushes him toward that to the point of reaching the IW ultimatum and while most of the people could have turn a blind eye to the rest, I still don’t understand how they can justify her after the Central Park scene especially in light of the following events.

Can we talk about how cute it is that Peter thought Tony was that tall for the bunny ears?

And also... does that mean they didn't plan at all to do bunny ears to each other? I mean, if they had planned it, Peter would have checked to see if he was doing them right.

So that means that originally the photo was going to be with Tony's arm around Peter's back, and Peter's arm around Tony's shoulders.

These two will never stop making me cry.

I want a fic where Pepper and Tony break up that doesn't revolve around Tony’s man pain. Is that too much to ask??

[strawberriesinmoominvalley]

Wanda struggled as she lifted the explosion surrounding Rumlow up, her body shaking. She’d almost made it high enough when her focus slipped and she let go of the explosion, taking out the entirety of a floor of a building.

Natasha could hear screams around her but she scanned for Pietro, finding him staring at Wanda. He glanced at Nat, shock on his face.

“Get your sister to the plane. Now.”

OR due to the incident at lagos, the sokovia accords are created. natasha and clint don't know what path to take, which one will keep their family safe. everyone has different opinions and the time of the avengers may come to a close

but what happens when the signing of the accords is attacked and bucky is blamed? was it really steve's best friend, now the winter soldier? and why does there seem to be more than one supersoldier running around vienna?

chapter four: the accords happen in vienna. it goes wrong

CINDER Vol. 1: A Woman’s Work is Never Done 

Pepper Potts wants to make a difference. Stark Industries - and working for its CEO - seems a perfect place to do so. But after three years as Mr. Stark’s personal assistant, she finds herself caught up in affair she never expected; affairs of the heart, of business, and of war. A fateful trip to Afghanistan throws her life out of balance, leaving Pepper to pick up and refit the pieces into place. But the big pieces, the important pieces, will never fit the same way again. The man she was closest to is not who she thought he was. Things have changed. 

Pepper Potts wanted to make a difference. Now, she will change the world. 

My pet “Pepper Potts’s origin story” AU. If this was and Iron Man story, she’d be the villain. But this is her story, and Tony Stark is the asshole everything thinks he is and more. She’s the hero. 

#i love tony but this is so compelling and has been living in my head for ages #also im really proud of her design #pepper potts's anti-hero origin story #not quite an oc #but my au #marvel au #character design #my design #my post #my stuff #my art

[ironstrange-is-the-endgame]

I recently realised that Pepperony is not an healthy ship (I had my doubts when I first watched IM3) and that Pepper is not an angel and perfect human being as people portraye her to be. But I can't decide weather I don't like her as a character or I just don't like her relationship with Tony. How did you knew you did not like Pepper?

When did you start shipping ironstrange? For me it was Infinity War.

Have a nice day!!

Hi!

How did I realize I didn’t like her…? That’s an interesting question. To like a character I first have to find something of myself in them (probably because I’m a cosplayer too or because I’ve always spent too many hours analyzing fictional characters’ psyches) and I couldn’t when it came to Pepper. Then the way she behaves was similar to certain patterns I recognized in people I was not in the best terms with and up at this point I came to the conclusion that it was not a character I’d like to see more on screen. And how her relationship with Tony is portrayed did NOT help at all her cause.

As for shipping ironstrange, I’ve been wanting for them to interact since they announced BenC was going to be Strange. I wanted what I used to call “the Sherlock inception” and honestly IW didn’t let me down on this! So yeah, I’ve been shipping them since 2016, I guess?

Hello!

Welcome to the Problematic MCU Ship Tournament!

This blog will pit 64 different pairings against one another. All of them are in some way “problematic”- some feature a minor and an adult, others feature incestuous pairings, others still simply have questionable or potentially abusive dynamics. Many ships combine elements of more than one.

Each day, 4 polls will be posted pitting two different ships together (for a total of 8 ships per day). You are free to vote in as many or as few of these polls as you’d like.

This blog is explicitly pro-ship and anti-censorship, and obviously features dark themes. If this is a point of discomfort for you, you are free to block this blog, I don’t bite. Hate towards anyone (and anything unreasonably rude about ships or characters) will not be published and users that send it will be blocked. Nothing explicit will be posted to this blog, regardless of the ship, so minors are free to interact if they so wish.

The bracket below shows all the ships that will be posted, as well as their first opponent. After the first round has been completed, the diagram will be updated and all of the winning ships will be pitted against one another. You can also find a typed list of all ships under the cut, for users that can’t or don’t want to read my terrible handwriting.

May the odds be ever in your (ship’s) favor!

[ircn-dad]

gifs not mine

I saw on the original post of these gifts the reblogs and...wow. Not the people saying "Tony reacts like that because that's what Steve tried to tell him before!! #antitonystark"

What actually Steve said: This job... We try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody, but, if we can't find a way to live with that, Next time... maybe nobody can be saved.

Peter is basically saying he can't live with the knowledge of not helping everyone, Steve is saying that they have to learn to live with it because it's better saving someone than not saving everyone.

While I think Steve is not an asshole and doesn't like when someone dies, I also think that Peter and Steve are not guided by the same morality. Steve accept the fact a lot of people die with his job, Peter and Tony don't. They can't accept the fact they cannot save everyone, they feel responsible for every damage they cause. That's why Tony had that look, because he related to Peter's words. That's literally the point of why he wanted the accords.

Tony blames him self and not just for Ultron. He blamed himself since IM1. When he said "I just finally know what I have to do, and i know in my heart that's it's right" and right before that he mentioned the soldiers who were killed by his weapons, even if it wasn't directly his fault. You can se the parallels between the two of them, they both blames themselves for everything.

Were the accords bad? Yes. Were they needed? Also, Yes. The idea of the accords was good because if I was one of the civilians like Zemo I would want them, and you cannot say otherwise if you were in their place.

So yes, I still think Peter would have been on Team Iron Man anyway because Peter would never turn his back on the civilians (He sacrifices his identity for them, he sacrificed his whole life for them). Even if he didn't like the accords, he would have accepted them and willed to change them. Peter and Tony have the same guilt, the same morale. Tony choose Peter because he saw himself in him, and Peter found comfort in Tony because he was the only one who understood him (Like confirmed in IW novelization).

Tony was the best person to mentor him.

5-10 🤭

it's always you at the scene of the crime

5. worst discord server and why

the answer to this is actually not in spidey, it's this one klance server i was in back in ye old voltron days that was absolutely horrible to exist in as an Allura lover/Allurance shipper. when she died, and klance didn't become canon (because it was never going to), things got nasty and i will freely admit i am still bitter about it! nothing made me dislike klance faster or more thoroughly than klance fans.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

anyone with a Tony Stark ship, really, though obviously the one I see the most nonsense from is irondad. Tony fans are, 90% of the time, there for Tony, and really focus on him to the exclusion of any of the other characters, including the one that he is partnered/shipped with. as someone who writes for and interacts with irondad because i love both Tony and Peter, who wants to explore them and their extended universes, it fucking sucks to have to wade through post after post that grossly misrepresents or misinterprets Tony, and treats Peter as a prop more than a character.

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

having said the above: Tony Stark you will always be famous! none of these people who pretend you're a soft uwu dad who's never done anything wrong could make me hate you, because that's NOT you!

i don't know there are any characters i "hate" per se, but certainly there are ones i will AVOID because the fandom is so terrible. in Spidey, though he's not a Spidey character, that's Harley Keener. i have zero feelings toward his canon character because he was a child and then an easter egg, and basically has no canon character. but i will avoid him at all costs in fic/tumblr tags, because his fans use him to completely supplant and erase actual Spider-Man characters, like Ned and MJ and Flash.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

MJ WATSON WOULD NOT WORSHIP PEPPER POTTS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

MJ "i want to get a little light protesting in before lunch" Watson, MJ "so really this is all your fault" Watson, MJ "i don't want to tour a building made by slaves" Watson would NOT be falling over herself to talk about how "cool" Pepper Potts is.

fandom loves to drop MJ into interactions with Tony where she's snarky and rude and makes "eat the rich" jokes. but then they'll turn around and also make her look up to Pepper as a girl boss.

and it's because people's aren't representing her as anti-billionaire or anti-establishment as a genuine reflection on her character and how she might behave meeting Tony Stark or Pepper Potts. she's an audience avatar to spout a couple memes and jokes, then is unceremoniously shuffled off stage left so that Tony and Peter can cuddle on the couch or whatever. it's about making Tony look cool and chill for "putting up" with her, and to make Peter embarrassed so that Tony can reassure him.

9. worst part of canon

Far From Home, beloathed. its sins are innumerable but to sum them up in as concise of terms as possible: it represents so much wasted potential. we could have had post-blip meta! we could have had the FOS as more than a joke! we could have had actual development of the petermj relationship! and yes we could have had an actual examination of the impact of Tony Stark and his legacy on Peter and his life!

WE COULD HAVE HAD MAY PARKER

instead we got a kidz bop european road trip movie and only head fakes to anything deeper going on between any of the characters

10. worst part of fanon

here's the thing: the idea of a community of people coming together to collaboratively fill in the blanks of a piece of art is, conceptually, beautiful, and exactly what fandom should be about. doing collaborative, generative creative work is genuinely valuable, and an important part of community building in creative spaces.

but the relationship that people have to fanon, is, frankly, completely fucking whack. modern fandom doesn't use fanon to generate collaborative and creative elaborations, variations, and interpretations of canon: they use it to supplant canon. popular fanon goes beyond being just an idea that a lot of people like; it starts being treated as law. people start interpreting canon through the lens of fanon, and in doing so treat the canonical text not as a work of art that deserves consideration and interpretation, but as a static and authoritative source whose purpose is to be excavated for "proof" of fanon, and anything that exists outside of fanon or in opposition to it is to be dismissed, ignored, and denied.

there are plenty of people who will happily admit they don't pay attention to canon and prefer fanon, and while that isn't my preferred way to engage with art, i have way less of a problem with that. people who engage with the original work through a fanon lens first, in an attempt to "prove" fanon, aren't seeking alternative interpretations or elaborating on the art. they're not even picking and choosing the things they like and the things they don't. what they are doing is working backwards from a foregone conclusion to pretend like art has one fixed, immutable interpretation, and that interpretation is the only correct or acceptable one.

the only proof you need of this tendency is the way people lose their fucking minds when you question popular fanon, or, god forbid, point out how it is directly contradicted or disproven by canon. it's a shitty way to engage with fandom as a community, and it's a shitty way to engage with art, and i have no patience for it.

What I think several of the Disney Princesses' lifestyles may be like in a Modern AU :

. Snow White - Basically is an overworked maid at a cruel rich woman's mansion, then quits and becomes a baker at a fine patisserie....and then leads a socialite/cultural patron lifestyle after she marries Florian ( who is an air force captain in a Modern AU )

. Cinderella : Similar case with Snow White btw except she went from being An overworked maid to a socialite/art patron after she and Kit ( who is a wealthy investigative lawyer in a Modern AU ) got married

. Aurora : Was a florist at a fancy botany shop before leading a socialite/ladies newsletter runner lifestyle after she and Prince Philip ( who is a naval captain in a Modern AU )

. Ariel : Becomes a marine biologist

. Belle : Becomes a librarian in a grand Museum

. Jasmine : Basically is an heiress/model/socialite in Saudi Arabia. Her dad basically owns a huge artifacts business, and her Indian mom is a leading diplomat from India in the Riyadh International Embassy. And then Aladdin is a young upstarting musical artist in Saudi Arabia when they first met in person. Cue both of them being amongst celebrity couples in Saudi Arabia, where Jasmine eventually has her own jewelry/cosmetics line.

. Moana : Becomes a marine biologist who is also an advocate for indigenous rights

. Pocahontas : Becomes a naturalist in wildlife reserve park and an advocate for indigenous rights

. Tiana : Similarly with in Princess and the Frog and also becoming a BLM advocate

. Malina : Goes from being a secretary in Kuzco's Enterprise to becoming acting co CEO ( similarly with Pepper Potts' arc here )

. Elsa : Becomes a diplomat for Norway in UN, and also a cultural patron

. Anna : Becomes an art gallery exhibitionist and curator in Norway

. Rapunzel : Becomes an art curator and teacher in an art museum

. La Esmeralda : Becomes a famous folk dancer and an advocate for anti Romani sentiments

. Megara : Becomes a diplomatic agent in Athens

. Maid Marian : A social journalist before opting for a socialite/ladies newsletter runner lifestyle after she and Robin Hood gets married while Robin Hood becomes a govt agent ( similar case with Jacqueline Bouvier btw )

. Kida : Becomes a naval captain and an advocate for indigenous rights

. Merida : Becomes a zoologist and a HeforShe advocate

. Mulan : Becomes a diplomatic agent and a HeforShe advocate

Journalistic Science

You rolled over in your bed, groaning as your alarm went off for the third time this morning. You'd been up all night drinking, thanks to a certain someone. Your head was killing you, and your body felt sluggish. Twelve shots were certainly your maximum, no need to restest the hypothesis. You slapped the off button on your alarm clocks and slunk out of bed. As you walked passed the mirror, you stopped, you looked like shit.

You groaned, making your way over to the shower, seems like you'd be missing breakfast this morning. You didn't have time for both. After the shower, you there your hair up in a messy bun, you searched the cabinet for your contacts but were confused when you couldn't find any.

"Oh come on! Don't be out you irresponsible little shit! How did you forget to pick up more?"

You ran two your dresser, pulling out your spare glasses. They were thick, yellow-rimmed, hexegon-shaped frames. They made your eyes look huge with how strong your prescription was. But without them, you'd be useless. You pulled on your favourite sweater, intending to take it off when you got to work. You grabbed an energy drink on your way out and sped off to the Stark compound. As you made your way in, you realised you forgot your badge.

"Shit!" You swore.

A light chuckle was heard from behind you.

"Forget your badge again L/N?" Pepper's voice came from directly behind you.

You nearly jumped, caught off guard by her presence. You let out a heavy sigh, you knew her testing was playful, but you weren't in the mood today.

"Spare me the lecture please, it's been a long day." "It's only five am." She chuckled.

"Precisely."

"J.A.R.V.I.S, allow miss L/N Int the building without her badge from now on, just use the facial I.D. scanner." She instructed.

"Thank you!" you called out to her, as you rushed to the lab.

She never once looked up from her tablet, a bad habit she got into when in work mode. But she did raise a hand at you in acknowledgement. You made your way down the familiar path, keeping your head down You groaned loudly when you heard the sound of Black Sabbath blaring through the walls. You always wondered why Stark never turned on the soundproofing in the room, perhaps it was on purpose to annoy you.

"You're late." He said, also not looking up from his project.

"And you're the worst boss." You joked.

"It's not my fault, you can't handle your liquor. Company party requires your pretty face to show up."

You rolled your eyes at his comment. This man would sleep with anyone, and he practically had. You wondered if he even notices poor Pepper Potts was pining over him. She devoted herself fully to the company, as a way to distract herself from her boss. It was found upon to date at work, especially with that sort of power dynamic. But you routed for your friend anyway. She was probably the only person that talked to you besides Tony.

"Nice sweater by the way." He snickered.

You'd forgotten to take it off in your haste. It had a picture of a cat wearing heart-shaped sunglasses, drinking a latte on it. You quickly pulled it off over your head, accidentally knocking your glasses off in the process. You groaned when you heard a cark when they hit the hard lab floor. Tony paused what he was doing and came to your aid, picking up your glasses off the floor. You there your sweater on your chair and squinted at him.

"Which of the gods did I piss off today?" You asked jokingly.

He chuckled, gently grabbing your face and putting your glasses back on. It made you blush slightly, you were sure any person would in your position. It was odd how kind he was with you, you'd been how the billionaire treated other people.

"Take an extra long lunch today and go see the company optometrist, I'll have them fast-track a new pair of glasses for you. Or we could always just design you a pair that has an anti-gravity mechanism."

You couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but the lightheartedness was appreciated. He always knew how to make you less stressed. You pulled away, laughing awkwardly.

"Yeah, well make it the next big Stark invention, it will be so useful for the masses." You said sarcastically.

You quickly rushed over to your desk, resuming the project you were working on. Today you were probably focused on coding something that Mr Stark was working on as a side project. he was a genius, and he could just code something to code it for him, but he liked your work better. You rarely made errors, and always paid attention to details. It was one of the things he liked about you when he picked you over all the other scientists who applied for the job.

You majored in computer science, biochemistry, physics and aeronautical engineering. You were also finishing your linguistic and psychology degrees just for fun. You felt out of place if you weren't in a classroom, it made you feel incomplete. Tony always asked why you didn't just become a professor, you were more than qualified. But your response was always "And miss out on working in this dank lab with your awful music taste?" He nearly fired you the first time you said you didn't like ACDC, but Pepper convinced him he was overreacting. One of their songs came on your uber ride home that evening and you swore Tony had hacked the car's radio.

After about an hour into work, Tony scooted over to your desk, lurking behind you.

"Do you mind, boss man?" You jeered.

"Just checking in on my favourite girl."

"Weird, I didn't notice Pepper enter the lab."

You smiled when you noticed the man pause, his brain malfunctioning at the mention of the gorgeous woman. Sometimes you were jealous of her, she always had men pining over her, but never gave them the time of day. But you admired her commitment to being a powerful woman in America.

"How's the coding going?"

"What, wanna check my work?"

"Somebodies Fiesty today, remind me to make company time for naps.

You rolled my eyes. He went back over to whatever the fuck he was working on, on the other side of the room. He was always tinkering with something, but wouldn't tell me what it was. The swoosh of the lab doors sounded, but I didn't bother to look up, I knew who it was. Dr Banner, the man with 7 PHD's, god you wish you could be him. But your master's degrees weren't nearly as impressive. He didn't greet either of us, going straight to his desk and getting to work. You didn't realize you were staring up until Tony popped up by your desk again, startling me into spilling my energy drink.

You pushed back your chair, looking at the damage.

"What the fuck Tony?" You squealed.

This seemed to have caught Bruce's attention because the sound of his marker on the whiteboard stopped. Tony was doubled over, holding his stomach and laughing.

"Real Subtle L/N."

You glared at him.

"Tony, what did you do now?" Bruce said with a high.

You could hear the edge in his voice, he was stressed about something today, more so than usual. He made his way over, looking at the chaos that ensued. There was liquid on my computer, but it was Stark tech, so it wouldn't be hard to fix. But Your white t-shirt was completely soaked through, exposing your bra. You didn't notice Bruce's eyes on my chest, something you grew to expect from Tony.

"Shirt, now, I'm not putting my sweater back on." You glared at your boss.

Anyone else would probably be fired for talking to their higher-up like that, but Tony liked the sass. He hired Bruce, who you learned quickly was almost always sarcastic. Bruce was quick to take off his lab coat, wrapping it around your frame. The fabric completely covered you, being far bigger than you were.

"Thanks." You stuttered out.

He too sent a glare Tony's way, until the billionaire stopped laughing.

"Alright, alright, I'll be right back. You two kids don't have too much fun while I'm gone. Or use the lock on the door." He winked.

You scoffed. This cheeky Bastard.

"I'm sorry about him," you said, once Tony was out of earshot.

"You act like I expect anything more from him." Bruce brushed off, immediately going back to work. You sighed, I'd have to clean my keyboard and laptop or they would get sticky. But perhaps you deserved a short break. You bit your lip before my mouth spoke before my brain could catch up.

"Need any help with that?"

It was a shot in the dark, Dr Banner preferred to work alone most times. You've watched him overwork himself for months when he could have just asked for help.

"No, thank you."

"I'm not totally useless Dr Banner, I may not have 7 PHDs but you've been staring at that bored in frustration since you got in. Another set of eyes couldn't hurt."

Damn your mouth, always getting ahead of you. You didn't mean to come off as rude. Mostly because you never wanted to hurt him, but also because triggering the Hulk out, would be the worst end to your already shitty day. You heard him groan lowly, and were prepared to get reamed to hell in the back. Perhaps you deserved it.

"You wouldn't work her if you weren't incredibly smart Miss, L/N. You don't need a PHD to be a valued scientist."

His voice was softer than you were expecting, and it made me blush.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to put that on you, it wasn't fair of me to assume-"

He nodded his head toward the board, a silent invention for me to join him. You remained quiet for a moment, as you read over what he already had done. This didn't look like a project Mr Stark wanted to be done. But it wasn't rare for you to work on personal stuff when we weren't busy. You scrunched my brows together, he was working on a serum of some sort. You sighed, turning your attention to him.

"You're trying to get rid of him, aren't you?" You asked softly.

"I didn't invite you over here to pass judgment." You gently placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not judging you, Dr Banner, I couldn't imagine how it must feel- I'm just concerned is all. I'm not sure you're doing this with the right intentions."

"And what would be the right intentions?"

"It's not my place to say, you invited me over here to help, it was inappropriate of me to give my opinion which you didn't ask for. And you can't figure out the formula, because you're using the wrong equation. You flipped the derivatives, simple mistake."

You grabbed the marker and erased the equation, fixing it.

"Thanks." He said.

"Did you sleep last night? It's not like you to make mistake like that?"

He sighed, shaking his head.

"Did you?"

"Touche... You do know you can always come to talk to me, about anything right? I'd like to think of you as a friend Dr Banner, and I always help my friends."

You made your way back over to my desk, leaving your proposition open. You didn't want to push, but his recent behaviour was worrying you. You heard the lab door open and close again, you expected to hear the grating voice of Tony, but there was just silence. The lab was now empty, perhaps you overstepped. You slammed your face down onto your desk, letting out a huff. Which is the brilliant moment Tony decided to reappear.

"I gave you the lab all to yourselves, and you didn't even utilise it." He joked.

"Not the time, Tony. I think I royally fucked that up, so if you want to gloat, get it over with. Not only am I the worst scientist on your team, but I'm also completely useless at human interaction."

He handed you a blouse he must have grabbed from Pepper's collection, she sometimes kept clothes at work, for when she spent the night. It was a bit more girly than you were used to. You remembered to take off your cracked glasses first this time and ripped off your ruined shit.

"Woah!" Tony said.

"Relax, you act like you've never seen tits, before, mine aren't much to look at"

You could have sworn you saw him squint at them, before turning his back. A gesture you were surprised, yet grateful Tony would afford you. You looked down at your outfit.

"I look like a mess."

"You look fine." He corrected.

Bruce came back into the room, but you avoided his gaze. You had placed his lab coat back on his desk, neatly folded. What you weren’t expecting was for him to B-line over to your station. He set down a cup.

"Two creams and a teaspoon of honey, right? Pepper said that's what you liked."

You smiled at the kind gesture, taking a sip of the coffee, and letting the warmth of it slide down your throat.

"It's perfect, thank you. What do I owe you?" You asked, reaching in your backpack for your wallet.

He held up his hand, "a coffee for an equation" was all he said, before going back to work.

Tony sent you a thumbs up when Bruce had his back turned, and you rolled your eyes. The rest of the day went out without a hitch thankfully. You met Pepper upstairs, and for once she didn't have her face in her work.

"Is that my shirt?"

You pinched the bridge of your nose.

"Of course, he didn't ask you! Tony made me spill energy drink all over myself, it was this, an ugly cat sweater, or walking around with my chest out. Which seems to be frowned upon when women do it."

"I didn't think your sweater was ugly, it was cute." She joked.

"You're worse than Tony! At least I can tell when he's lying to me."

She chuckled lgihtly.

"So, are you ready for the public briefing?"

Oh shit! That was tonight?

"You forgot, didn't you?"

"The world hates me! Why do I have to go?"

"Because you helped Tony invent the damn thing. You're not calling in sick. And you're not wearing my blouse."

She grabbed your hand, leading you to the elevators. You went up to the common room floor, and she took you to a huge walk-in closet, you looked around bewildered.

"Tony keeps extra clothes for the women he toats around in front of the press."

"Why am I not surprised? What do you see in him again?"

"I ask myself that every day."

You smiled at her. She helped you for nearly half an hour, pick out an outfit. You finally settled on a suit. You weren’t comfortable in dresses.

"How do I look?" You gave her a little spin.

"Take your hair down!"

"I dont see how that will help..." "Trust me!"

So you did as she asked, taking your hair down, and brushing it back with your hand.

"You look perfect. Nobody will be able to take their eyes off you."

"Thanks, but I thought the point was for people to listen to me."

"You're presenting to a room full of sharks my love, they don't care what a woman has to say, not saying it's right, but I won't send you in their bleeding."

"I hate men."

"Dont we all? Now go, you can't also be late, or they'll call you diva."

You were nervous, giving your speech. You hated talking in front of people. And Pepper was right, you could feel the men looking at you like you were some hunk of meat. It was disgusting. But you had Bruce and Tony by your side, which helped. Tony made jokes to the crowd to break the tension and helped you answer the journalist's rapid-fire questions. And Bruce stood with his hand on your back, rubbing soothing circles, which you were grateful for. He normally wasn't quick to physical contact, so it meant more to you than he would ever know.

As it came to a close, you were more than ready to leave. You hated wearing heels. You bid farewell to your coworkers, who were getting swamped by reporters. But you were stopped by your own reporter on the way out.

"I must say, darling, your speech was rousing, but I think the people would rather know where you got that pretty outfit from." He slurred out.

He was clearly drunk, you rolled your eyes, attempting to push past him. He, however, didn't like your response and grabbed your wrist. You paused, unsure of what to do, you didn't want to cause a scene and wanted to handle this like a rational adult. But you hated being touched, let alone without your consent, anyone would.

"Please, let go of me." You said softly.

You supposed maybe he didn't hear you, foolishly giving this man the benefit of the doubt.

"I said, let go!" You said louder.

This gained the attention of a few people close by. But none of them did anything but stare, except for one man.

"I think she asked you to let go, buddy, are you deaf, or just stupid?" The man asked.

He looked mildly familiar, but you couldn't pinpoint him from anywhere.

"Stay out of this Brock." The man spat.

Apparently, that was the wrong answer because this guy stepped up to him.

"I won't ask you again, to let the pretty lady go..."

You cursed yourself for blushing at a time like this, but he was rather attractive. And he was standing up for you, what's not to like? You tried to squirm away while he was distracted, but he tightened his grip, causing you to whimper. This set Mr Brock off. Before you could comprehend what was happening, a punch was thrown, and the man was being lifted into the air by his collar.

"If you ever put your hands on a woman like that again, I will cut them off!" He said, throwing the man down on the floor.

You stood bewildered, he didn't look that strong yet he picked up a man twice his size. A crowd was drawn now, and you grew self-conscious under everyone's gaze. You rubbed at your now sore wrist and kept your gaze on the floor, the man was quick to approach you and block your body from the countless journalist trying to take photos of what just happened.

"Are you alright Miss L/N?"

"You- you know my name?" You asked, surprised.

"I am at your Biochemistry demonstration, am I not?"

You blushed madly, forgetting that most of the people in the room were actually there for you. Technically for "Stark's Apprentice" You didn't expect anyone to learn your name, let alone remember it.

"I'm ok," You said quickly, "It doesnt hurt that bad."

"I swear I should eat him." You thought you heard him mumble.

"What was that?"

"I said I should have beat him, more... nobody deserves to be handled like you were. He'll be lucky if he still has a job by the morning after I'm done slandering him." He offered, trying to lighten the mood.

"You dont have to do that Mr-" "Call me Eddie, Eddie Brock."

Tony quickly caught onto the commotion, making his way through the crowd over to you. He forgot to announce himself before placing a hand on your back, and you nearly jumped out of your skin, Eddie was quick to react, but you were faster, cutting him off.

"Relax, it's just my boss."

"What happened over here?"

"This idiot thought he could put his hands on her and get away with it." Eddie pointed to the man who was still writhing on the ground with a broken nose.

Tony glared at the young reporter.

"My employer can speak for herself, pretty boy." He said, going into overprotective mode.

You said, annoyed at the macho energy that was crowding your space.

"If the both of you dont shut up, I'm punching each of you in the dick."

Eddie laughed, not realising you were being serious. Once he caught your gaze though, he raised his hand in surrender.

"I didn't mean to insinuate you could defend yourself, but I've been looking for a reason to punch that idiot for years now." He laughed.

"Want me to file a case against him?" Tony asked.

"Naw." You said.

You moved passed both men, crouching down to the ground in front of the whip who tried to hurt you. You lifted his chin, making him look at you.

"I believe in second chances, but you won't be getting a third. Go home, sobber up, and think about how much of a failure you are. I'm sure you're mothers very disappointed." You scolded.

Before he could respond, you took your other hand, and straightened his broken nose, he let out a scream. You slapped his cheek for emphasis, before going back to your boss and new protector.

"I can have Happy drive you home," Tony suggested.

"I don't think I want to go home right now." You sighed.

"Care for some dinner?" Eddie suggested.

You thought it over. You had a crush on Bruce, but you didn't think you'd ever be good enough for him. Maybe you could give the handsome reporter a chance. He was kind and hilarious, you felt bad using him as an emotional rebound. But it didn't seem like he was expecting anything out of this offer.

"I would love some dinner, Mr Brock." You smiled at him.

Tony gave you his signature look, and you once again found yourself rolling your eyes for what felt like the thousandth tie that day. Perhaps your day was looking up. You managed to get a date with Eddie Brock, what else could you do?

AN: Nobody asked, but I haven't written like anything marvel, so ignore the self-indulgence here. I just wanted to write this for myself. I'm busy at work this weekend, but I'll get to requests soon, I promise. Love you all!
