With the way the plot's being structured, Pepper's presence would affect Tony more so than Peter after the initial arrival, so I talked it over with Scott. While she wouldn't be in the way, our concern is that she wouldn't have much to do beyond meeting the taller, blue-eyed, has-his-shit-together Tony that Peter knows (and is expecting). Which could be interesting in and of itself, granted, in a "what if?" sort of way, but a fair warning that the plot is going to feel like about a month, not just two days.

In short, I'm not opposed to the idea, as Pepper is obviously a good friend, and it'd be neat for her to see Pete's world, but there's no real way to work her into the superheroing part of the plot. (Now that I think about it, I guess her involvement would sort of be comparable to the space station stuff, actually, in that she'd be there for the beginning and the aftermath.) If that works for you, though, I can definitely send you more information when I (finally) type it all up.

Completely unrelated, I really love that picture of Tobey Maguire. >_>
