[Pepper is feeling better than she has in days, ever since Tony decided to lock her in the house and trap her like some sort of prisoner. She's been frustrated, but also concerned enough that she's stayed, wanting to make sure things didn't get any worse with his growing paranoia.
And then she woke up with a fully grown set of wings of her own.
It had taken surprisingly little effort to melt the locks off her door that morning. Her control had been precise, and the sensation of it amazing. Manipulating the heat so only the metal gave way, and not the wood surrounding it. She'd felt absolute satisfaction when she pushed open the door, and it continued even then, as she tests her control while perched up in a tree, far more comfortable in the forest than she's been in her own home.
A voice calling from nearby gets her attention and Pepper smiles when she sees Teddy close by. His concern is sweet, but unnecessary, and she shakes her head as she replies.]
No, actually, I won't. I've got everything under control.
