Prompt Two: Scribbled on the back of a bookmark, she read the most interesting thing…

Disclaimer: "Miss Mission."

"Yes JARVIS?"

"Don't you believe you should inform the readers that you do not, in fact, own what you have written about?"

"I should, but I don't really want to. Would you do the honors JARVIS?"

"I would be happy to Miss Mission. Miss OnAMission does not own Iron Man or its characters and is making no money off of her story."

"Thank you JARVIS."

"You're very welcome. Mr. Stark has informed me that he needs you to fetch him a book from the library."


The Stark Mansion was one of the largest houses in Malibu, California. It was no surprise to Pepper when she had walked in that first day that the library was the size of the one in town. Tony had many books, although he never had the time to read them. Well, he did have the time, he just chose not to.

Bookmarks were in dozens of places throughout the vast room; most of them in the middle of books that had been started, but never finished. Tony had asked her to get him a book on the principles of quantum physics.

"JARVIS, where would the physics books be?"

"Scattered throughout the room Miss Potts."

"Are you kidding me?" she mumbled to herself, walking over to a cluttered table and began reading the bindings. Physics 101, Processes of the Brain, How the heart works, Electro- magnetic principles of design, Jokes for dummies. Nothing she was looking for.

"JARVIS can you find a specific book for me?" She asked, hopeful.

"I can try Miss Potts. What book are you looking for?"

"Principles of Quantum Physics."

"That book is currently in Mr. Stark's room on the bedside table."

Pepper huffed and walked out of the library towards Tony's bedroom.

There it was; sitting there, closed, a worn bookmark sticking out of the top. She grabbed it quickly, causing the bookmark to fall out onto the floor.

Pepper would have picked it up quickly, not caring what he'd scribbled all over the back.

She would have picked it up quickly. But she didn't.

Her name was written over and over and over again. Cursive, print, chicken scratch.

Virginia Pepper Potts. Pepper Potts. Pep. Potts. Pepper. Miss Potts.

What'd he write that for?


Review! :D
