Pepper Potts

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"I am trying to do the job you were meant to do!"

The current CEO of Stark Industries, mother of two (@katiestark and @smarterthantonystark) and the only person holding Tony Stark's life together, Pepper Potts. It's lovely to meet you.

Activity Status: Offline

🟢Online: I am completely free and happy to talk! I shouldn't take too long to reply 🟠Away: My attention is split between multiple things, but I'll get back to you whenever I have a spare moment. 🔴Offline/Busy: I'm likely in a meeting or doing something that requires my attention more than you do. I'll get back to you whenever I'm free.

My name Is Pepper Potts, she/her pronouns are preferred. I am the current CEO of Stark Industries and the fiance of Tony Stark. Trust me, he's not half as scary as he seems on TV. A new person comes up to me almost every day claiming that I'm their step-mother, and at this point? I'd hardly be surprised if I was.

"That Will Be All, Mrs. Potts."

Mod Info: hiiii!!!! it's me @vaampiric AGAIN. always good day to be rping, it would appear. anyway, i apologise if she's kind of out of character- i'm trying my best, okay? i'll try my best to keep up with responses, but i have my own responsibilities that go beyond tumblr role-plays, so if i take a little bit to reply, then i'm really sorry. if i take more than a day to reply, just shoot me a message and i'll let you know what's up!

preferably no nsfw- mod is a minor so it's just kinda weird, you know? but shoot me a message if you want to do anything romantic, and i'll let you know if i'm okay with it! otherwise, feel free to interact!

What is the worst part about your job? Also how do you keep up with your family? I bet they are a lot to handle.

"Well, just like any job, mine has it's ups and downs. The worst part of mine is absolutely the business partners who choose not to listen to what I say, simply because I'm a woman. But, safe to say they're not business partners for long after that. And, the family are a lot sometimes. But both my kids are pretty independent now, so they don't need me all the time anymore. Don't tell him, but Tony is the hardest to handle."

Katie had gone to sleep at 11 pm last night, which was honestly amazing considering her sleep schedule. She was feeling kind of tired so she had decided to be responsible, knowing if got some rest she'll feel better. But unfortunately it seems like the universe hates her because Katie woke up feeling like absolute shit. Her entire body hurt, she was exhausted and she was cold even though she had two blankets wrapped around herself. All in all it was a terrible day. She didn't think she could get out of bed even if she wanted to, luckily she didn't. All she wanted to do was stay curled up in bed and sleep. But of course she couldn't catch a break because soon enough she hears someone knocking on her door.

"Sweetheart? Are you awake?" Pepper calls, her voice slightly softer than normal just in case Katie wasn't awake.

[katiestark]

"Unfortunately, I'm trying not to be, but everything hurts and my brain refuses to go to sleep."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper pushes open Katie's bedroom door, a small frown on her face as she sees Katie curled up under covers. "Oh sweetie..." She says softly, walking over and taking a seat on the edge of Katie's bed. She rests the back of her hand on Katie's forehead, her frown growing when it comes back warm. "Oh, honey, you're burning up."

[katiestark]

Katie leans into the touch.

"Burning up? Mom I'm freezing." Katie whines as she curls deeper into the blankets.

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"I'll go get the thermometer to check, okay honey?" Pepper says, standing up from the bed and leaving the room. She returns a few moments later, thermometer in hand and takes Katie's temperature. "103.5.. Not... Horrible." She settles on, sighing softly. "But you are still sick."

[katiestark]

“Like like dying, everything sucks.” Katie mumbles out looking at pepper with bleary eyes.

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"I know sweetheart." Pepper murmurs, running her hand through Katie's hair. "I'll go get you some medicine, okay? Then we'll decide where to go from there."

[katiestark]

Katie just nods before curling up in the blanket again, pulling the blanket over her head.

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper presses a kiss to Katie's forehead before getting up and walking out again. When she returns, she has a small medicine cup of flu medicine in her hand. She sets the cup on the table next to Katie's bed before sitting down once more. "Can you sit up for me, sweetheart?" She asks.

[katiestark]

"Nooo, I don't wanna, I'm too tired" Katie whines but still slowly removes the blanket from her face and slowly wakes up.

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"I know, honey, but I don't want you to choke." Pepper says. "And you can go back to sleep afterwards, but I need you to take some medicine."

[katiestark]

"But it tastes bad" Katie pouts but reluctantly sits up to take the medicine.

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"So it's better to get it over with faster, right?" Pepper offers, holding out the cup to Katie. "And, if you want, I can make you some soup afterwards?"

[katiestark]

Katie takes the cup and downs it making fac s at the taste. “That’s disgusting, god. Thanks mom but I’m not hungry.” Katie says as she collapses back into the bed.

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper sighs softly, running her hand through Katie's hair. "Alright, sweetheart. But you'll let me know if you need anything, right?"

[katiestark]

“I will.” Katie leans into the touch, the touch calming her down and grounding her. “Can you stay please?”

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper considers it for a moment, a short lived internal debate before she lets a soft smile grown on her lips. "Of course I can, Katie." She agrees easily.

[katiestark]

Katie smiles back softly before tugging Pepper down to sit next to her.

"Thanks mom, and I'm sorry for bothering you, I just don't wanna be alone."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper wraps an arm around Katie, pulling her into her side. "You're never a bother, sweetheart. I promise." She assures her, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

"I'm glad, Peter!" Pepper says, a small hint of tension falling from her shoulders when Peter says he's okay. "Thank you for coming and checking in on me, honey."

[smarterthantonystark]

Peter notices the falling tension and tilts his head slightly. "Did you think I wasn't?"

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"No, no. I mean it's always a worry, but-" Pepper pauses, sighing softly. "I'm just glad you are. That's all."

[smarterthantonystark]

Peter blinks before walking over to Pepper and hugging her in her seat. "Sorry for making you worried. Are you okay?"

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper hesitates for a moment before wrapping her arms around him as well. "I'm as okay as I can be, sweetheart. Thank you for asking."

[smarterthantonystark]

"How okay is as okay as you can be?" He speaks into Pepper's shoulder.

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"Well, when both my son and fiance are superheroes, it's...Something." Pepper admits, bringing her hand up to run her fingers through Peter's hair.

[smarterthantonystark]

Peter leans into Pepper's hand a bit. "Sorry about that... I mean, not sorry enough to stop, but sorry enough to feel bad."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper chuckles softly, a small smile on her lips. "I can't say I expected anything different from you Peter."

[smarterthantonystark]

A small smile forms on Peter's own lips. "We can take care of ourselves, though. I mean, I've made it this far."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"I realise that but it's just..." Pepper sighs. "It's hard. Letting the people you love run straight into danger no matter how capable they are. But I know you both can handle yourselves."

[smarterthantonystark]

Peter nods slowly. "Yeah, I could see that... You really got stuck with some heart attack-inducing people."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"Well, I was the one who chose to work for your father in the first place." Pepper says, a quiet chuckle accompanying the comment. "If I wanted a non-heart attack inducing job, I would've gotten an office job."

[smarterthantonystark]

Peter snorts. "Did you know he was like this when you chose? I'm sure the pay was good enough to even him out."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"As much as it was a good check, I don't think even all the money in the world could even Tony out," Pepper says, a fond smile on her face. "Especially after becoming Iron Man."

[smarterthantonystark]

Peter nods. "Especially. That's a lot of PR to fix."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"A lot." Pepper agrees, glancing at her computer screen from the corner of her eye. "But I probably fix even more now, actually. Your father never has been one for casualty."

[smarterthantonystark]

"Yeah... It's not exactly his thing, is it?" Peter chuckles. "The amount of work's probably been going up a lot."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"Don't I know it." Pepper chuckles, sighing softly. "But it is what I signed up for when working with your father, so I can't exactly complain."

[smarterthantonystark]

"Sure, but-." Peter's cut off by a buzzing in his pocket, and briefly glances at his phone before looking at Pepper apologetically. "Speaking of Dad and work, he needs me in the lab, like, yesterday. There are 2 fires and DUM-E's dealing with neither of them."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

Pepper rolls her eyes fondly, a smile on her lips. "Of course. That sounds exactly like DUM-E." She chuckles, waving her hand dismissively. "Well I should probably get back to work anyway, honey. It was lovely to see you."

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"Hey, Mom! Are you busy?"

@smarterthantonystark

"I'm never too busy for you, Peter," Pepper responds, glancing up from her computer screen to look at Peter. She smiles, clasping her hands on top of her desk. "Everything okay, sweetie?"

[smarterthantonystark]

Peter nods, smiling back at Pepper. "Yep, everything's great. I just wanted to come check on you!"

[thebetterstarkindustriesceo]

"I'm glad, Peter!" Pepper says, a small hint of tension falling from her shoulders when Peter says he's okay. "Thank you for coming and checking in on me, honey."
