My 12 Percent Of A Moment

This is My12percentofamoment. I'm Pepper Potts. I work for Stark Industries. (Lots of AU)

“That probably could, but,” Pepper dug around into her purse. She carried around a multitude of things to keep Morgan busy when things were boring. “I bought you an autograph book.” Holding it out, the girl’s mother smiled. “We can get a lot of signatures, but I think that not all of them sign.” They just had to figure out which ones.

“Oooh!”  Morgan reached for the book, which had a prismatic silver cover.  “It’s all rainbows!” she said delightedly.

[my12percentofamoment]

“I thought you’d like it,” her mother said proudly. “Now let’s put it away before it gets dirty.”

"Daddy! Daddy!" Nicky waved an envelope at him. "Mommy said it's from Nikki. The girl from the museum. Can you read it to me?" He wrinkled his nose. "Mommy's feeding the babies."

“Of course I can!”  Tony sat down on the bottom step and held out a hand for the envelope.  “Well, it’s addressed to Nicky Stark, from Nikki Tibbs.  Let’s see.”  He took it out and found a letter very carefully written out in crayon.  “Dear Nicky,” he read.  “It was very nice to meet you and your Mom at the museum.  Please tell her thank you for the autograph.  I’ve never met a superhero before.  Would you like to come to my birthday party?”

[imjustthemechanic]

There was a long list of Disney wrapping paper. One even had Rescue on it. Another had The Avengers. Of course, there were also variations on Mickey Mouse and the other characters.

“That one, please!” said Nicky, pointing to the Avengers one.  “If we just get the Rescue one, she’ll guess what it is,” he added to his mother, as if to apologize.

[my12percentofamoment]

“Now that is a very smart deduction, Nicky. Good choice,” she looked over to check on the twins and then at Tony, to whom she gave a wink. “We’ll have to keep it away from Abby and Andy. We wouldn’t want them to open it before Nikki’s party.”

Putting a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, Pepper looked around at the crowd. They seemed to be having a good time just as they were. Some of the people down below even had ponchos to keep from getting wet.

With the audience in place, the room went dark and a few spotlights swung across the water.  People applauded as the seal trainers stepped out onto the artificial island in the middle of the tank, and two seals climbed out of the water to stand on either side of him.

[my12percentofamoment]

Her spoon sat in her mouth, the ice cream melting. She was captivated by the animals and their trainers. They moved through the water so gracefully and with such ease that Pepper found herself wanting to be able to move like that too.

“They’re amazing,” she whispered.

[imjustthemechanic]

“We own a camel?” That seemed like an animal out of place at a big cat rescue. “Was it a performer too?”

“We originally intended to be just cats,” said Dr. Osorio, “but we’ve ended up with a variety of other circus animals, too… we just can’t say no to them.  Except the elephant.  We couldn’t take the elephant.”

“Let’s meet the camel,” said Tony with a grin.

[my12percentofamoment]

“Elephant?” The facility didn’t have a paddock for anything that size. “So where did the elephant go?” She wondered out loud. “I’m guessing a zoo of some sort.”

“That’s it,” she exclaimed. “I remember the one with the golden retriever. Not sure if that makes a difference.”

“Then we’ll watch that one,” Tony said.  He went up to another house to put a flyer in the mailbox, while Pluto sniffed at a pine cone on the sidewalk.

[my12percentofamoment]

Pepper bent down. “I’m not sure you should be playing with that Pluto,” she kicked it away from him. “I don’t want it in your mouth too many small pieces. You could choke.”

She raised her eyebrow, mouth dropping open, utterly confused. “That’s what you want to go with?”

Peter had walked away and Tony wanted to announce an engagement in place.

“I think I can come up with something,” Pepper kissed him, turned on her heel and opened the door to confront the reporters.

@imjustthemechanic

[imjustthemechanic]

“That is completely up to you. I think that you’ve learned a lot and things won’t be like that at all.”

“Well, you’re always right,” said Tony gently.  He took her hand and kissed her knuckles.  “So I’m very reassured.”

[my12percentofamoment]

“You should be.” She pulled her hand back so she could continue eating. “You’re a completely different man from the one that I first met.”

“Ohh it takes a while .. but it’s worth it , I makes strawberry, wild berry .. mint etc etc ”

@the-dark-ones-daughter

“I’m allergic to strawberries, but I imagine it to taste wonderfully.”

[the-darkness-within-deactivated]

She nodded “il remember that ”

[my12percentofamoment]

“Thank you. I’m sure the rest taste just as good.”

[the-darkness-within-deactivated]

“I have a rather nice chocolate orange one ”

[my12percentofamoment]

“One day I would like to try that. It sounds delicious.”

“In stages. Every few years retell the story in a way thay befits her age.”

@edwardantes

“I’m getting the feeling that the stage where we tell her that her father was an art thief will never come,” she jested. “We will always have that story for ourselves though. That’s good enough for me.”

[edwardantes]

“I was aiming for university years.”

[my12percentofamoment]

“I thought you were aiming for never.”

[edwardantes]

“That’s a tad idealistic even for me.”

[my12percentofamoment]

“Like I said, we could always tell Little Star that we met at an art gallery, part of the truth.”

[my12percentofamoment]

"How much have you had to drink already?"

“Um…” She held up two fingers. “Three. I should have only had two, but they were so good. I didn’t taste the alcohol at all.”

Emil noded and glaced over at wrinkles before looking back at Pepper. “Okay. I will give him boiled eggs when I feel like giving him a treat.”

@theebabomination

“You know, that’s a lot of work to give him a treat Emil. Maybe you should stick to the doggie ones we buy at the store.”

[theebabomination]

Emil shook his head. “Pep, it really isn’t that big of a deal. Besides giving him those treats all the time he probably gets bored of them.”

[my12percentofamoment]

“We don’t want him to get overweight. That’s a problem too.”

[my12percentofamoment]

"What I did to Gerald is not a big deal, he is fine and safe."

“What did you do to his fur?” Pepper raised an eyebrow. She knew that Halloween was coming up, but Emil didn’t need to get Gerald mixed up in the festivities of it all. “He looked like Abbs or an alpaca version of Abbs.”

Emil nodded at her. “Okay, I will take her out tomorrow for ice cream.” He sighed softly as he looked at the ground. “I know she is a good kid and I am glad that she has a lot of friends, but sometimes I still worry about her.”

@theebabomination

“Oh…you worry about all of them and the younger two haven’t even started school yet.”

[theebabomination]

Emil have her a small smile and sighed as he nodded. “I know…I know that I shouldn’t worry about them too much, but I can’t help it.”

[my12percentofamoment]

“It is natural for you to worry about them and their futures. They are our daughters and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I worry about the same thing.”

[my12percentofamoment]

"Remember when you were intoxicated and attempted to seduce me into marriage?"

@stolenprincessofasgard

“It’s a blurred memory.”

"Mama? Can we cuddle? I had a bad day an wan Mama." The toddler cried and reached uo to his mom for a cuddle session.

“Alright. We’ll sit on the couch and watch some tv,” she picked him up and settled them both in the living room. “What would you like to watch?”

@firelegsandfriends

[firelegsandfriends-deactivated2]

“Paw patrol!” He nestled in her bosom and curled up. “Mama I hungy! Wan momma milk pease. ” He snuggled up.

[my12percentofamoment]

“Markus, you’re getting too old for that,” she reached for the remote and changed the channel. “How about something else instead?”

“You don’t know know how to fail when you know the solution for something. Yes, families aren’t predictable. Families are complicated. You know that. They’re just complicated in different ways.”

Tony nodded slowly.  “I just… I hope our family will be complicated in different ways than mine was.”

[my12percentofamoment]

“That is completely up to you. I think that you’ve learned a lot and things won’t be like that at all.”

[midnightjuicepops]

The girl’s mother laughed. “Baby Girl, if you stand in line, you get to meet all three of them. That’s better than meeting just one princess.”

That got Morgan’s attention.  “All three?”

“Maybe they can all autograph your ears,” Tony suggested.

[my12percentofamoment]

“That probably could, but,” Pepper dug around into her purse. She carried around a multitude of things to keep Morgan busy when things were boring. “I bought you an autograph book.” Holding it out, the girl’s mother smiled. “We can get a lot of signatures, but I think that not all of them sign.” They just had to figure out which ones.

[imjustthemechanic]

Pepper’s nose wrinkled. She didn’t want to see that either. It seemed something that would be traumatizing. Though she didn’t see the same thing when it came to the animals that ended up on people’s tables.

Dr. Osorio noticed Pepper’s reaction and smiled.  “We do have one camel,” she said.  “Do you want to see the camel?  Don’t worry, she’s not nearly as bad-tempered as you might have heard camels are.”

[my12percentofamoment]

“We own a camel?” That seemed like an animal out of place at a big cat rescue. “Was it a performer too?”
