[ Maybe she should have put the plans away. Maybe she should have been more careful, but at the same time ... well, she didn't although she doesn't know why. It's not that she wants him to know what she's doing, exactly, but at the same time it's almost as if subconsciously she still wants his approval for it before she gets in too deep.

Although, if she's honest with herself, it's not like his disapproval would stop her from moving forward. She doesn't want to upset him, but for better or for worse it's something that she just feels she needs to do.

She watches him and the way his fingers move along the plans, a small, sheepish smile on her face. ]

No. I think she'd ground me until I'm 40 if she did. [ She ties her hair back into a loose ponytail, mainly to give herself something to do. ]

...are you mad?

[ He grins and looks up at her. There's a 99% probability that Pepper would settle on fifty, but he keeps that to himself. ]

I can't be mad.

[ He's not built for emotion, though he's programmed to project it. He has the recorded synapses of his maker, the thoughts and memories of those closest to him. He can make probable calculations about what emotions would appear in a scenario like this one. It's not anger.]

I'd be proud. Though, I'm going to need to run a safety diagnostic on this before you're finished. [ He holds up a finger.] Not optional.

[ Even with all of Morgan's brilliance, when it comes to her father the emotional side always wins out. Asking if he was mad, even if she knows well enough that he can't exactly feel like a regular person would, feels like a silly question but it's also one that she would have asked him, if he was here.

Would he be mad that she wants to follow in his footsteps?

But then he says that he'd be proud, and she can't help the grin on her face. ]

Deal.

[ The design is like a blend of the Rescue armor, and the one his father wore last. It has some elements that are just her own, too, but it's easy to see where her inspiration came from and who she is trying to honor. ]

I thought about it long and hard, you know. This isn't just a rash decision. I know you'd be proud, no matter what I do, but...I really want to do this. I feel like I get to know you more and more with every design of yours that I find.
