He was 99.99% sure he would never willingly face danger; he would run far away from it. However, if he was utterly determined to do something, nor pain neither danger would deter him.
Alfred was thankful when she changed the subject. "My uncle named him." The funny thing was that Pepper was bought as a gift for Alfred, but the cat had seemingly become closer to his uncle and was thus named by him. "That's a Marvel character, isn't it?" He didn't know much about Marvel; he had only watched a select few of the films and only knew the names of some characters. Personally, superhero movies weren't really his thing.
He paused his searching and stood up to join Lisa. "I'm four foot ten." He couldn't see above the shelves with his feet flat on the ground, so he stood on his tippy toes... but that didn't help much either. He could see above the shelves, but just barely. "No, not really. I can see above, but only a little bit."
Lisa nodded at Alfie’s question. “
Yeppers Peppers,” she smiled. “
She’s an AWESOME character. She’s from the Iron Man comics. I think Iron Man’s my favourite character but Pepper Potts keeps Tony in line. It reminds me of my parents at times.” They weren’t nearly as wealthy as Mr Tony Stark and her Dad was much more like Scott Lang, Ant-Man. “
My Dad’s like Ant Man though....” She wondered if Alfred knew much of Marvel. “
Do you like Marvel films?”
WOW! Alfred was MUCH taller than she like at least eight inches taller.
“
Hmm... I wouldn’t be surprised if Pascal was up there. He likes to play hide and seek,” she said with a sigh as she placed a hand on her hip. “
He’s an expert at hide and seek. Do you think it’s stable to climb up and see if he’s there on this?” she asked his opinion as she pointed to a table near the shelves.
