[ Pepper waits for him to shove the door open and forge on ahead, gun drawn. She follows when the coast is, apparently, clear -- only to jump at the ferocious barking, biting back a startled little noise of her own. Should he try to approach it? Pepper hardly has anything against dogs, just not much experience with them; and this one looks a tad upset. But of course he works some magic on the scared dog and has the animal eating out of the palm of his hand, so to say.
The question surprises her, but she only hesitates for a moment. She certainly doesn't want to stick around here, and she now remembers where she'd seen him before: on TV, on the pages of newspapers. Frank Castle, the Punisher. Could this day get any stranger? Following the man and the dog, she remarks, ] Beats trying to hail a cab around here.
[ Of course she could finally call Tony. He'll be pissed she hasn't already, she's sure. But now that she knows she's dealing with Kamala's new friend, she feels obligated to try to... take stock of him, or something like that. ]
[ frank nods at her agreement, pointing out his giant black truck in the distance. predictable, maybe, but practical too. he crosses the street without checking to see if pepper will follow now, helping their new friend into the generous gap behind his seat. he finds a water bottle and helps her drink her fill before finishing it himself. dog germs don't bother this guy no way no how.
clambering up into the driver's seat, he buckles in and starts it up with a satisfying purr. he waits for pepper to get situated before weaving his way out of the alley and into the traffic at large. ]
