As you watch Raj depart, you feel a prickly feeling run down your neck… the unmistakable sensation of being watched…
God, you missed that.
Turning around to face the eavesdropper, you’re met with a red haired <span class="mu-s">TORPEDO</span> launching itself at your torso! Crashing into you at subsonic speed, Pepper looks up at you with her famous pout and a few tears streaming down her dusty face!
“Y-you’re a <span class="mu-i">monster</span>, you know that!?” She sputters as she punches you with her remaining fist, “I almost <span class="mu-i">DIE</span> a-and you wait to talk to me until <span class="mu-i">NOW</span>!? You’re a real jerk, sandcrab!”
Sensing the scene she’s making, the girl’s eyes grow wide as she clears her throat and steps away from you with reddening cheeks! “R-right, sorry… gotta work on boundaries…”
Wiping her tears off on her sleeve, the girl looks up at you again with a sheepish smile! “A-and to be honest I had to talk with Jake a bit first… y’know, to let him know what’s been happening… a-anyways, it looks like you’ve got a plan in motion, a-and I totally get it if you want me to stick behind, but… but I also know you pr-probably just said that stuff back in the lab to motivate me to stay alive, y'know, as-as a friend and now I’m talking way too much, but I really don’t know what to do here and it’s cold are you cold I'm cold and I’m drenched and I’m kinda feeling a whole bunch of emotions right now which is really weird because I usually don’t feel those and by the way you have my stuff so I’ll take that back if you-”
The truth is you were just paralyzed by seeing her alive again… but once you’ve got the plucky paparazzi safe, healthy, and in front of you, well… you feel sensation slowly return…
What do?
>SILENTLY OFFER YOUR JACKET TO HER. WHITE DRESS SHIRTS AND RAIN DON’T MIX WELL, Y’KNOW.
>GIVE HER A HUG! WELCOME BACK, DORK!
>KISS THE SHIT OUTTA HER! SHE’S ALIVE!
>FIST BUMP! FRIENDLY, BUT SETS BOUNDARIES!
>WRITE-IN!
