Pepper paused mid lick, blinking at him, taking a second to sort out what he had said. Space? To the space station? Like Tony, and Steve and all the other super powered people she cared about (except Cassie, thank god)? She'd just got Tony back, why did people insist on subjecting her to this stress? Oh we're just running off to space to fight some aliens who ate a bunch of people. We'll probably come back. Or they'll eat us too and then they'll come for you. Oh and we're out of coffee.
"...If you promise not to get eaten or let any of my friends get eaten I won't get mad at you," she finally conceded, giving a playful smile.
