Ch. 1: Enquiry of Blood

A/N: Tony might seem a bit OOC, but that's intended. I sorta need him to be. Besides, you can think it of being in any line, but this is set in between season 2, after getting the Extremis, because I've never seen season 1, and I want his gifts being Electrokinesis and enhanced Extremis without any chance of corruption (as what happened to Mallen). So here it goes…

And this happens between Twilight Saga: Eclipse, but James is alive and so are the other two and the three of them work together to make newborns and kill Bella.

"Tony?"

The one named Tony perked his head from the virtual keyboard to look at her while she continued.

"Do you believe in Vampires?"

He was surprised. He had expected some 'Sciency' question from Pepper as she usually does, but he decided to verify first.

"Why?"

"Check this out. There have been more than 10 murders in one town. And these kind of murders never occurred, but they just happen in Forks and-"

"Hey wait, wait, wait. Slow down. I guess that these matters are being handled by the Forks Police Department-and how are these related to vampires?"

He had never thought she would just take out a random crime scene from the internet. Yes, this was something to be handled, but wouldn't helping them be an interrupting? And besides, he had yet to find Mandarin and stop him, but…this seemed really fishy, but he wouldn't admit. Why would Pepper just pick up some police case unless it is either interesting or has some weird info about it that somehow…includes mythology…of vampires?

"You haven't listened to my statement fully…now where was I…?"

"That they just happen in Forks."

"Oh yea. So they just happen in Forks and the police can't even find much of any clue on it. All of the victims have their blood drained completely and have atleast three bites on their body. The police departments found only three fingerprints on them just before their death and according to the fingerprints, two men and a woman are doing that. The witnesses also agree with them that a blond girl and two men, one with blond hair and muscular, the other one being not-so muscular and with black hair and dark skin were the ones they saw doing them. They also say that they move very fast, complete blur and are very strong. Many of the witnesses also agree that they are vampires."

Now Tony was curious. If he could gain interest on this case, Pepper can more easily do that. "So, what made you think that they are vampires?"

"How did you know that I thought it was vampires? Okay…how couldn't you notice? Bites on the bodies, plus no blood on them…According to witnesses, they are super fast and super strong. Only vampires drank blood and could be this fast and strong, and this place rarely has sunlight reaching to the ground. Those killings occurred when it was about to rain, and Vampires can't stand the sun. Now, do you believe me?"

"Uhh…" he still hesitated to answer, because he perfectly knew when Pepper gets her hopes high, and she is exactly doing that now. He decided to continue. "I still have some doubts over this, but I guess I should check."

While saying that, he went to the area where his armors were kept. He pressed a button near the slot, and the compartment containing the armor lowered and opened. Tony then entered the Extremis in his mind, and all the armor pieces separated itself from the armor and latched onto him one by one, until it covered him fully. Then he looked at Pepper and said, "So, I hope that you can monitor the alarm systems, hmm?"

Pepper looked at him, and was about to say something when Tony took off.

A/N: Well...how did it go? It was a thing I was writing on my computer for a while...and for my friends who were wondering when I will update, blame it all on my muse, as it considers to start a new project and give me new ideas everyday, plus blame it on my friends and my patents who interrupt me when I sit down to imagine the next set of events for my stories.

*sighs* My life sucks.

So guys, have patience for my other stories...

Fun Fact: I hate eating. I eat for the sake of keeping myself alive...but I love drinking water! (Ironically, I drink less water than usual too...)

Seeya on the next chapter!
