Marry Me
"I can close the portal!" Natasha cried.
"No, wait!" Tony shouted. "I got a nuke coming through!"
He shifted his flight course so he was heading straight for the portal. "And I know right where to put it."
The next few seconds were a blur and he was dimly aware of Jarvis asking if he should call Miss Potts. "Yeah," Tony said. After all, this was as good as a suicide mission. Steve had been right about lying on the wire and letting the other guy crawl over. Sometimes it was necessary.
The phone rang and Pepper picked up.
"Tony! I'm watching the news! Tell me you're not…" She couldn't finish the sentence.
"I'm sorry, Pep."
He disappeared into the portal.
"Tony! No! Don't do this..." she cries.
"I…have to. Please…" He can't think of anything to say. And then it comes to him.
"Marry me, Pep."
All he can hear is sniffles on the other end of the line, and then her voice comes to him.
"Of course, Tony. Just don't…"
The suit lost power, her image flickering and going out. Tony closed his eyes. It looked like he wouldn't be able to go through on his promise after all.
"RAHR!"
"Gah! What! I'm awake!" Consciousness comes back in a flash, as well as a large green monster standing over him roaring in his face.
"Augh…warn a guy next time, Banner."
The Hulk looks satisfied.
"Please tell me no one kissed me," Tony says. "After all, I'm an engaged man now."
