Correct. [The elevator doors close, without visible means for them doing so, and the box rattles upwards on a trajectory that owes far more to magnetization than it does to hydraulics. It's bumpy, and from beyond the enclosure the pop-pop-pop of gunfire is audible. But they're going up, and at the floor where the upper lab is based, the elevator jerks to a halt.]
I need to go toward the lab. I'm afraid I didn't come equipped with a gun. [Although the likelihood of Pepper getting shot is fractional to nothing.]
