[Well hello there, residents of this fine barge. What you'll find on your screens, is a rather tiffed redhead, looking only just a little like she might be trying to bite her tongue. Without actually puncturing herself.]

Hi- Hello. My name is Virginia Potts, and I've been asked to come and .. work on this ship. [It's only a partial lie. She'd sought it out herself.] That being said, I've come as a warden, and am here to help.

[There's a moment of hesitance, her mouth opening to continue. But then it shuts. ... And she tries again.]

Is there a Tony Stark on the barge?

You look a little stiff.

[Oh, hey. He's pretty.]

... A bit. Just getting used to things. Settling in.

[So are you, let's have fun making Tony crazy c:]

There's a lot to take in. Need any help?

[O h b o y.]

I've gotten a bit of a run down, thanks to- Castiel, I think it was.

He likes to talk a lot.

I'm Jim Kirk by the way.

That he does.

Nice to meet you, Mister Kirk.

You can call me Jim if I can call you something besides Virginia.

[That gets a bit of a look. Something like an eyebrow raise.]

Pepper.

Why Pepper?

My boss didn't want to think of the state whenever he spoke to me.

First of all, you let your boss name you? Where do I get one of you?

He didn't name me. Pepper's been a longstanding nickname for me. He just prefers to use it to my actual name. Vehemently.

I agree with him, I just want to know where Pepper came from.

A wholly unoriginal story, I can assure you. Something to do with my last name and a few cheeky friends in high school.

It can't have been that boring if you kept using it after high school.

I couldn't give you a better answer, Jim. It's just what everyone's called me for over a decade, now.

You're still too nice to your boss.
