[ personally, pepper tends towards panic quicker than anything else. panic because she's made tony go into cardiac arrest, panic because she's in a car being attacked by a lunatic with glowing whips, panic because she's falling into a raging pit of fire — okay, basically, getting freaked out has often been the go to. so trying to be as rational as possible when there's no ostensible big bad point of concern coming straight at them, she needs that. the step back is something of a relief. there's nothing like being crowded by someone who's as lost as you are.
