There's a war coming, won't you pick a side?
Characters: Moira MacTaggert, Pepper Potts
Setting: Stark Tower
Content: Nothing objectionablle
Summary: Moira tries to win her way past Stark Tower security with sheer determination.
After visiting Xavier and getting herself settled in New York, Moira's next stop is a visit to Stark Tower. He's a genius, a politician, and a businessman, with certain interests linking him to mutant issues. That's more than enough to make him a priority, and the fact that his motives towards the mutant registration act are unknown knocks him to the top of the list. Moira likes having a clear idea of who her allies are--and aren't.
From what she's heard of Mr. Stark, Moira dresses for the occasion. A gray silk blouse, business formal, sensuality nicely balanced with class. She leaves her hair down, freshens her mascara, and picks out a pair of heels to complete the ensemble.
Then she strolls right in the front door of Stark Tower, and up to the reception desk. Moira favors a frontal assault, when possible. Leave the opposition off-balance. "Excuse me," she greets the girl at the desk, smile warm but still formal. "Which way to Tony Stark's office?"
The receptionist starts to point, since the woman asking is so very well-dressed and collected that surely she wouldn't be here without an appointment, when she remembers her training and returns the smile, getting ready to be unhelpful. "Do you have an appointment?"
"I'm Moira MacTaggert, Nobel Prize-winning geneticist, perhaps you've heard of me?" No one's ever heard of Nobel Prize winners. Moira doesn't expect a response. "I know this is unconventional, but I have an urgent matter to be discussed with Mr. Stark. I'd appreciate it if you would put me in contact with his assistant?"
