Why this must be read:

Let the story speak for itself

"Um, sir?" she asked cautiously. "Hello?"

The car didn't respond, and Pepper breathed a little sigh of relief. "Jarvis," she said aloud. "Where did Tony go?"

"His shower, Ms. Potts."

"So, you're Pepper Potts!"

The accented words made her jump. She turned back towards the white car in time to see its head flip out of the writhing, clacking mass of metal it had become, and she found herself gaping at an eighteen-foot-tall robot crouching by the garage door. It tilted its head at her, and though it didn't have a mouth, she got the feeling it was smiling at her. "Sorry I didn't speak up before," it -he? - said. "Didn't want t'blab at the wrong person, y'know? The name's Wheeljack. Tony's told me all about'cha, Mizz Potts."

"Pleased to meet you," she said, only a little faint. Completely unsure as to how to treat this new guest, she decided that sticking with the familiar would work. "I would offer you a drink," she said. "But I don't think you have a stomach. Should I send out for a specific kind of fuel, or motor oil?"

Fair warning: the ending is so perfect; it brought me to tears.
