[ Pepper is no stranger to starting over. When she was with Tony, she did it a half-dozen times. It feels like more-- a thousand times, half of them in her nightmares-- but she knows for sure that she has watched her life fall apart and has been forced to put the pieces back together. If there is one thing that she is sure of, one thing that she has a bitter sort of pride in, it's her own ability to keep going.

So when she falls in semi-familiar territory, the transition is almost too easy. Gotham might not exist in her world, but she knows Jersey. This is home. Almost. Close enough. Close enough that she's determined to make it work. Pride-- and a little fear; always a lingering touch of terror when it comes to being forgotten-- keeps her from going straight to Wayne Industries. ]

Oh, I know. Me being here means some cosmic balance is mucked up or whatever, and god knows you're the only one capable of figuring it out and fixing it so I can go back where I belong.

[ She scowls out the window, not even wanting to look at him. Now, she's not sure what she'd been hoping for. ]

[ His jaw sets out of frustration. ]

You don't know this city. You should have contacted me sooner.

If I'd known I'd get such a warm welcome, I would've contacted you first thing.

[ He shuts his eyes and resists the urge to press between his eyes. ]

For what it's worth, I'm glad you're safe.
