[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?

Everything I know.

[Well shit. B| HOW CAN SHE SALVAGE THIS (you can't, Nat, just give it up pls)]

Okay. [Damn damn damn.] It sounds like the Captain's the only one from your time. I was at the expo before I came here, when Vanko attacked. [She doesn't bother pointing out that Tony is two years behind her, too, because that's probably awkward and, well. She figures Pepper knows, if she's talked to him.]

[Private]

[didknowthat]

Yes, I figured that out pretty quick. Both Tony and you are .. behind, then. [Wow. Weird to say that out loud.]

[Private]

[persuadeyou]

That's right. [Oh it has been weeeeiiiiird to hear about, too.] Is there anything else I should know? Do you have questions?

[Private]

[didknowthat]

No, I think I'm covered. For now, at least. Thanks, though.

Welcome to the Barge, Ms. Potts. [There is a teensy bit of dryness in her voice, if she's listening for it. Natasha's just going to replan things.]

[Don't you just love that she fucked up all your plans, 'Tasha? Cause Pepper might actually feel bad if she found out. Really. You were her favorite and only PA she ever had.]

Thank you.
