It was a normal day for Tony Stark…well as normal as it could ever be. He was running down the halls of the Tomorrow Academy to try and get to class on time, he was running very late due to some villainous characters robbing a bank down town. But sadly this isn't where this little story begins, for this story, children begins in Phoenix Arizona in run down mental hospital. Where a 23 year old woman sits and watches TV and gazes at a young man she fell in love with. "I will get out of here and see you…I love you with all my heart, Tony Stark." The young woman had whispered and drew a heart over young Tony Starks face with lipstick.

Be warned, being faint hearted may cause you problems throughout this story. There will be jealousy, torture, emotional abuse and death. All of you have been warned and you all have a chance to turn back now…I'll give you a minute to decide.

Nora Wells sat down at her new desk and took a deep breath. She scanned the classroom as her new students walked in to take their seats. She smiled when she spotted him at the back of the room. Two other teens were with him. One an African American boy who was bent over his homework, next to him sat a girl with hair that looked like fire. She was reading a book happily. Then Nora's eyes rested upon Him againAnthony Edward Stark, he seemed to be looking at something and Nora narrowed her eyes and followed his gaze. She growled silently when she realized he was gazing at the redhead as she read her book. Nora cleared her throat loudly and got up from her seat.

Everyone looked up at her curiously. Nora moved to the board and wrote her name, "Good morning class. My name is Ms. Wells and I will be your new English teacher." She said with a smile. The class smiled politely back. "Today is going to be simple; we are going to be reading a book. The book we will be reading is Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. Now get started." Everyone groaned and got to reading.

After an hour the bell rang; Nora smiled to herself and cleared her throat "Tony?' asked before he could leave the room. The young genius looked over to her and smiled "Yes Ms. Wells?" he asked and Nora's smile brightened, "For this class I need TA…a teacher's assistant. I was wondering if you would up for the job…" she said kindly. Tony smiled and nodded "Sure…I can try." He said and Nora grinned "thank you Tony." She said and Tony nodded and left the room.

Pepper waited outside the classroom door with her arms crossed. "What was all of that about?" she asked and Tony smiled, "Ms. Wells just wanted me to be her teacher's assistant..." he said as they walked down the hallway. Pepper snickered "teacher's pet!" she teased and Tony jokingly nudged her, "not fair…she's new I'm just being nice." He said and Pepper smiled and leaned against him. "It's very nice of you Tony." She said and Tony smiled at her, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders to keep her close.

Nora walked out of her classroom just in time to see Tony wrap his arm around the Potts girl. She growled and stalked to the front office, she opened the door calmly and made her way to the student records office. Nora opened filing cabinet and searched through the file until she got to the one she wanted, she smiled and opened the manila folder "now what is Miss Pepper's weakness?" she asked herself. A Cheshire grin formed on her face and she left the records room with a plan, "It'll look like an accident…" she whispered.

Pepper walked into class the next day and sat next to Tony who was playing around with his POD, "Anything on the radar?" she asked smiling. Tony sighed and shook his head "thing have been quiet lately…" he said shaking his head. Pepper smiled "Well sometimes it's good nothing is going on…you need a break sometimes. We stay out of the hospital for a little while longer" She said quietly and smiled. Tony tilted his head toward her "Ya…but I can't help but worry that they're planning something…" he whispered. Ms. Wells walked into the room wearing a smile "good morning class!" she said and the class yawned in return.

The vents in the classroom hummed to life and a strange and familiar smell filled the room. Everyone looked around confused, Pepper stiffened when she recognized what the smell was. "Tony…" she whispered and looked up at the vent that was directly over her, Tony looked up at the vent and saw pinkish red flecks fall on the redhead. His eyes widened and he jumped up from his chair "Pepper hold your breath!" he said frantically. "What's going on?!" Ms. Wells asked 'worriedly' Tony glanced at her as he tried to stop the vents, "Dried strawberry flakes…Pepper's highly allergic!" he said and gave up on the vent. Tony jumped down from his chair and pulled Pepper out of the way of the vent. Pepper held her breath as Tony and Rhodey brushed the flakes off her, Nora grunted and "Accidently" stepped on the girl's foot. Pepper let out a gasp and a few of the flake went into her mouth, Tony and Rhodey looked at each other dumbfounded. Immediately Pepper's throat began to close and she collapsed to the ground due to lack of oxygen. Tony caught her and gently laid her on the floor, "Pepper! Where's your Epipen?!" he asked urgently. Pepper opened her eyes "L-lo-locker" she said gasping. Rhodey was already out the door.

Tony held Pepper up against him in hopes to keep her breathing. "I called nine-one-one!" Happy said wide eyed and Tony nodded, "Thanks Hap…" he said. A few of the other kids in the room gently swept away the strawberry flakes away from the dying redhead. Rhodey burst through the door holding the epipen. Tony held out his hand and Rhodey handed it him, he took the medicine and stuck the pen on Pepper's thigh and clicked the button. Slowly Pepper's could breathe again and her lips began to turn back to its normal color when the paramedics burst into the room.

They took Pepper away on a stretcher with an oxygen mask over her mouth and nose, Tony took a shaky breath and began to follow the paramedics out of the room. "Tony where are you going?" Ms. Wells asked sweetly, Tony sighed "I'm going with Pepper to the hospital..." he said and left. Nora fumed and dismissed the class for the day.

Pepper groaned and opened her eyes. A hospital….great. I hate this place! She thought dryly, the same annoying beeping and the sterile smell that made her wrinkle her nose. Pepper slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room, "Pep…" a voice whispered. The redhead looked over to see Tony sitting in a chair beside her bed, she reached up to take off her oxygen mask but Tony stopped her by taking her hand. "Don't take off the mask." He whispered and Pepper nodded. "So what were you saying about staying out of hospitals?" Tony asked and Pepper laughed, she took the mask off despite Tony's protests. "I really need to keep my mouth shut or I'll keep jinxing us…" she rasped, Tony smiled and gently squeezed her hand.

"You scared the hell out of me…" Tony whispered and Pepper looked at him confused, "Pep…you almost died." He whispered. "How did anyone know my allergy? Only you, Rhodey, and my dad know…oh and the school…" Pepper said and Tony sighed and said "I don't know Pep…I don't know."

A strange looking nurse watched the teens through the observation window; she clenched her hands into fists. "He will be mine." She hissed and stalked down the hospital's hallway shredding her nurse outfit.
