Author Notes: Marvel Cinematic Universe's Pepper Potts is Pepper from Good Omens. I was re-reading the book and noticed that they had the same name. I couldn't resist.


The day she first found Tony working on the Iron Man suit she called Adam. "You're not subconsciously changing reality again are you? Because my boss is planning on becoming a superhero."

Some days Pepper can fool herself into thinking she is an ordinary woman. Most days she looks around her and thinks just how easily she rose through the ranks of one of the world's most prominent weapons company; remembers facing down War at eleven years old with nothing but two bits of wood tied together with string. She's still human, she knows, but then technically so is Adam. So is Wensleydale, out volunteering in third world countries (helping feed the hungry); so is Brian, one of the world's most promising green energy pioneers. All of the Them were human, just not exactly. Not in their entirety. Ineffable, as she supposed the Them's honorary uncles would say.

Tony, Happy and Rhodey all looked at her strangely when she told them that if she ever thought the world was ending that she'd go to Lower Tadfield in England. She knows they're humoring her when she says it's the safest place in the world, but she still gets them to agree that they'd go with her so she counts it as a victory.
