Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3,032

Author's notes: Takes place after Iron Man 2. Written as part of help_pakistan for yetanothermask, who asked for and will get Jerkass Tony, Natasha/Pepper, and action. Action/adventure. There's an action.
Summary: What Pepper's diary will look like tomorrow: "Dear diary, today I lost my job, was kidnapped by Blackwater, and kissed a girl. I liked it."

( It was all Gabourey Sidibe's fault. If you asked Tony. If you asked Pepper, it was Tony's fault for being a patronizing ass who was way too smug for a man who hadn't done his own laundry in seventeen years. And that was only one time because he was sure he'd invented a much better form of soap suds. )

Summary: Pepper Potts has the worst job in the world. (Except maybe for all the others.)

( It’s the commencement speech that finally does it. Pepper’s been hounding him about it for five months (not counting the time he spent imprisoned by terrorists) and then she walks in on him being cut out of his suit. Literally cut out of it. It’s so banged up that Rhodey is using an circular saw on it. )
