god, I waited so much to upload this! I wrote this on 5 January (my b'day) and today is ninth January. Lazybones.
Tony blinked his eyes open .
God, everything hurt.
He wanted to go back to the music class he was dreading before.
Yup, class.
Tony closed his eyes again.
Nice day. Late to school. Screaming ms. Hansen.. Ran to washroom to charge reactor
... Purplish gas... Dizziness...
Tony eyed pepper who snored dramatically.
Rhodey was totally slump at his other side, his face scrunched up.
Whitney-why is she here? Whitney smiled at him.
"whitney ?"
"yeah, I know. Still no idea on who the hell wants a knot with us. Its like... You know... Its a possibility that the problem is either you are me. We got connections." she sighed."dad might find us. I have an implant in my body."
Tony felt his eyes go wide.
"implant?!"
"eeeyup.😳 dad's kinda is dramatic. But😔it will help."
. Tony shriveled against his chains. Golly!it hurt.
"I really want to punch someone."
" Tony, calm down, I know you wouldn't. Because If i see him, I will take that chance before you."
Tony chuckled softly. Whitney smiled. It felt good. Listening him laugh. He laughed and laughed and bent with laughter.
"now you are embarrassing me."
Whitney whispered between the chokes of laughter.
Rhodey blinked his eyes open.
"tones?"
"golly! Rhodey! God,I missed you !" Tony smiled a false smile." why are we here?"
"eeeeyeah. Kinda we four are kidnapped or something."
"awesome."
Rhodey shrivelled in his bonds, trying to wake pepper up.
"this girl can sleep for an year."
"Rhodey, lemme try."
Tony leaned closer to pepper's ear, and whispered her to wake up before totally screaming in her ear.
Pepper woke up with a start. Rhodhey chuckled.
Tony smirked before filling her in about the situation.
"okay." pepper deadpanned."where is that #* -*# ₹#% ?"
"yet to find out?" whitney scoffed at pepper's language.
Tony laid himself back a little for the sake of his aching back. His red shirt was now covered in sweat. He felt sluggish, guilty, angry, confused. His eyes began searching the area for any way to escape, resulting failure.
"Tony? Tony!"
"what?" Tony turned towards pepper.
"you spaced out."
" too much to think."
Pepper nodded. She began yelling.
"oi. Pepper!" Tony screeched. Pepper blushed and silenced herself immediately. Footsteps could be heard outside. Tony sighed.
The door creaked apart.
Tony glared daggers at pepper. The person who entered, was wearing a black and bulky suit of armour and seven rings on his hand.
Mandarin.
Tony felt sick to his stomach.
Pepper felt angry.
Rhodey felt worry for Tony.
Whitney felt confusion.
He smirked.
"awake, huh?"
" what is your problem gene?
Who are you? Why did you bring us here?" tony asked.
The mandarin dissolved in a whirlwind. Gene stood instead, happily.
Whitney, dumbstruck ,stared away.
"your father is of no use for finding the next ring. You must help."
Tony sat like stone for a few minutes. His father was alive... Alive... All the time... What if gene had tortured him?
"like I will."
Gene smirked. His hand produced a knife which he thrusted against pepper's neck.
Tony scrunched his face.
It dug a little, leaving a scrape but no blood.
"I ...will..do it."
All the four faces turned to him. Gene smirked, before he stabbed Tony's leg.
"this will keep you here."
He walked away. Leaving Tony hissing in pain.
