Summary: Short "What if"s about what it'll be like if the ladies of each Phase One movie were the lead instead of their male counterparts.

I've thought on and off for a few months about how most movies wouldn't change much if the main character was female instead of male and then this happened. Unbeta'd so all mistakes are mine.


"Miss Potts."

"Yes, JARVIS?"

"I would like to once again offer my concern regarding your current course of action."

Virginia "Pepper" Potts sighed. She never thought she'd say this but she actually sympathize with Tony for once in her life. Most of the time, she agreed with his Ai and even colluded with JARVIS every now and again to make sure Tony gets fed and watered regularly but to be on the receiving end of the AI's mothering is pretty daunting.

"Your concern is duly noted. But we have put this off for too long. I'm going in."

It took them 4 hours for JARVIS to offer up the plans for a prototype exoskeleton suit.

It took them another 2 weeks to manufacture the suit.

It took them a better part of the next month to find the right cave.

Tony Stark laughed when he saw her.

"This old thing?! I can make a better one!" He exclaimed before promptly passing out in her armored arms.


This chapter is brought to you by how much asskicking Zhu Li did on The Legend of Korra S04E05.

Plotted everything in my head and banged it out in 2 hours so it's definitely no masterpiece.
