Tony sat down on the sofa and put his head in his hands. The news about Sara had struck him hard. Pepper walked over to him. "Who was she?" Pepper asked, while sitting down next to Tony and taking his hand is hers. She had never seen him this upset before, she had never seen him this haunted by his past. "Sara was a fighter" Tony replied turning to look up at her, "it was what she loved to do, and it was what she'd always done. It was her main way of surviving for a long time. She was confident in herself and her body and abilities. But that can only take you so much of the way in life. She had no family, no friends, except me and at first she didn't even have me! But she put up with the orphanage and MIT and everything life threw at her and I admired her for that, most of all" Pepper gave his hand a tight squeeze and looked him in the eyes, "but who was she?" "Pepper… she's my adopted sister!"
