Pepper and Tony are really the ones more responsible for tower security, so I imagine they had something to do with it too. They've been amazing about that, all things considered. But SHIELD does seem to have its act together. I guess in a world where superheroes and supervillains exist and are acknowledged by the government, they're a little more equipped to handle strange, you know? I've worked with them a little with the Vampire Task Force they put together, and I haven't seen them pull anything too shady since I've been here-- so I kind of know what you mean. Because if they're this put together, then they're either legitimate or they're just really good at covering their tracks.
It definitely takes some getting used to. I've had months for that, you know. Eventually you realize that not everyone knows all your worst secrets and that they wouldn't hate you if they found out-- and really the only way to realize that is to take chances on talking to people about it and see how it goes. I've had really good luck with it so far, and it's amazing how much better it feels not to be keeping all that inside. I definitely didn't realize how badly I needed it before I got here, either.
I was actually planning to be a prosecutor, I think. I mean, I like defending the innocent so I could go either way I guess, but even more, I want to be the one putting the bad guys away. And I don't want to end up having to defend some jackass who's actually guilty and paying me to act like he isn't. Whereas as a prosecutor, if I realized that the defendant was being unfairly charged, I could probably do something to get their charges dropped. But regardless of what side I'm on, I'll need to be able to anticipate the other side's angle, right? So I was planning to write it from both points of view. And thanks, for the vote of confidence. Even if, you know, 'having a way with words' is a debatable skill when it gets used for lying and manipulating in my line of work at home.
