ooc question meme

[aa_pepper]

Ask me questions about my character(s) and I will answer. The meme is entirely OOC, questions and answers both. Use it as a fun time to find about about character's choices, motivations, feelings, actions, or anything else you've been wondering.

i am sick, super tired, and whiney. so i will try to get to these, or i may never finish this meme at all, but.

applies to both pepper and clint.

Pepper is kind of on the outside looking in of a lot of what goes on in terms of SHIELD and the Avengers. Does this bother her? Does she prefer it?


Has Pepper ever been tempted to try on one of the suits herself?

Do you mean, would she like to be shot at daily by aliens and gods and resurrected Nazis? No, she does not. She very much prefers not being an Avenger, and isn't cut from the same self-sacrificing cloth as most of the team.

I mean, obviously she does things for other people *coughtonycough*, but she doesn't get any thrill or excitement from danger, nor does she think she's particularly good at anything that would put her in danger.

In fact, she knows she's not. She's brought this up with Fury before when he put out recruitment vibes, that she's not SHIELD (or Avengers) material. She can't fire a gun, she can't fight crime. Her competency is very focused on what she does now, and on business.

So, no. She is not bothered by not being an Avenger or SHIELD. She does like being on the outside of it, especially since it gives her a chance to lend support in little ways that she /can/, like going and shmoozing in D.C. or making phone calls, or obtaining permits and contracting a re-vamp of a mansion.

I have recently read fic involving the Avengers needing administrative staff and I approve of this idea because then I could make Darcy part of it and we could RP.

Yes.



You probably want more of an answer than that, huh?

Sure, Pepper has been tempted before to put on a suit and fly around and save Iron Man when he's been particularly stupid and in danger. But, she's also not stupid. She has no training in--anything. Not even in mixed martial arts. She really doesn't belong in a suit, and she knows that.

Instead, she just gets to stay on the ground and worry, and that is the only reason she is tempted. She hates having to stand around and worry.
