This is my first Avengers-FF, so it might be bit ooc. I got the idea to this from Skylar Grey's 'Love the way you lie', the last line is a quote from that song :)
Of course, he'd never claimed to be a hero. In fact, he'd told her, that he was not the hero type.
But Pepper had never expected this. Never.
She'd thought, she knew him.
Obviously she'd been wrong. She'd loved that man. She'd thought of him as a her. Her hero.
But Tony had betrayed the Avengers. He'd betrayed her.
Bruce had told her yesterday, he had shown her the photos S.H.I.E.L.D. had taken. She still couldn't believe it. Couldn't believe, Tony had done this to her, to the woman he said he loved.
Pepper hadn't seen him since Bruce's visit, they hadn't had time to talk about it yet. She had thought about phoning him, but she wanted to talk to him in person. This was nothing, one could settle through phone.
"He has arrived." JARVIS told her and her heart started racing.
"Where is he?"
"On the platform."
Pepper went over to the lift and moments later she stood in the cold facing the genius.
"Why?" She asked quietly. His face told her, that he knew exactly what she was talking about.
"I got a really nice offer from him." He answered, smiling, relaxed and casual as always.
She stared at him in disbelief.
"But, Tony, he is evil!"
"And the problem is...?" He raised an eyebrow.
"He kills people because he thinks it is fun. He wants to rule this world, wants us as nothing more than slaves..." Pepper was unable to explain all the bad plans, Loki had for earth.
"I don't care about people. I just don't care." Tony stated.
She wasn't able to do anything except staring at her lover - her ex-lover. Had he always been like this? No, he would have noticed. So, when had he changed? What had changed him? She didn't even recognise him.
"And I've seen those photos S.H.I.E.L.D. took... That looked like more than working together." She whispered, fighting back the tears.
'"I don't know, it just happened. I was surprised that it took S.H.I.E.L.D. so long to notice." His expression didn't change, he kept his cool, slightly bored face.
"How long...?" Pepper didn't know if she really wanted an answer.
"Couple of months. S.H.I.E.L.D. found out three weeks ago."
She kept staring. This wasn't the man she'd loved.
They both stood silent, looking at each other, when someone materialised next to Tony.
Loki. The God Of Mischief. The man who made Tony betray them.
The Asgardian pressed a kiss on the other man's cheek before turning to Pepper.
"So she found out?" He smiled.
"Obviously." Tony turned to his lover. "Fancy a flight?"
"Of course." Loki didn't pay any attention at all to Pepper, who wasn't able to fight the tears any longer, as she saw Tony walking up the stairs till he had fully taken on his Iron Man suit.
He flew off the platform while an almost similar suit appeared around Loki's thinner form. The god followed the human genius and they left Pepper staring after them.
Her eyes were glued to Tony.
You will always be my hero. Even though you've lost your mind.
BTW, I'm from Germany, so please tell me, if I've made a horrible mistake somewhere ;)
