I made this story because of this photoset.

The title is Driven because it's somewhat like... "they are driven to survive."

Hope you enjoy. :)


The 40-year old agent pressed his fingertips on the keyboard, seeing letters showing up to the screen at once.

"I woke up from a terrifying dream. The world is gone. Humanity is now extinct. The dead is on the rise. But I realized it wasn't a dream. It is reality."


Loud groans were heard from the hallway. She quietly walked and picked up the axe, being aware of what is happening down there. She cautiously approached the open door, tightening her grip on the weapon. As she saw who showed up, she nearly swung the axe through his neck. It was only the famous Tony Stark, having no idea what is happening. His face was full of terror. He just woke up, and nearly got his head chopped off. The woman's eyes were frightened too, but full of worries.

She dropped the axe and immediately hugged him. "Goodness, you're safe!"

Tony was confused and wore an awkward expression, "Of course, I'm safe. I'm in the Stark Tower. It's safe here."

The woman covered her mouth with her hands, walking to the couch.

"For now."

It's been long since he saw her worried like this.

He blinked his eyes, looking around and murmured, "What 'for now' are you talking about? Everything looks normal," He walked around and looked outside, "Everything is normal. Why, what happened?"

She stood up and walked to the large window.

Tony, being impatient, walked to her and growled, "Pepper, what happened?"

She nearly jumped, and she was shivering. She looked at his furious eyes and stuttered, "T-Tony, you were sleeping for three days. All… all of this happened in just three days."

Tony, still left confused, raised his voice, wanting to know it in clear details. "Wha-what, three days? And what is 'all of this' are you talking about? What happened in those three days?"

Pepper walked away and replied on her back, "I think they put too much sedative on you. And 'this'… JARVIS, please show him the news video."

"Yes, madam."

A video played on the screen, seeing a wave of people—a large crowd of 'people' feasting on something.

"Live from New York City, a wave of the dead people started to spread throughout the world. We are advised to evacuate out of New York City to avoid this tragic event. Will we still survive this apocalypse? How will we stop the dea—"

The reporter screamed as the dead bit her neck, scraping off her skin. The camera fell on the ground, only showing the dead feasting on her internal organs.

Tony nearly puked and yelled, "What the fuck, JARVIS get that out of my face! Now!"

The screen blinked black.

Tony could hardly open his eyes. He helplessly groaned, "JARVIS, delete that video."

"No, no, no, JARVIS, don't delete the video. Protect the file from further erasure."

"File protected, madam."

Tony slumped on the couch, still seeing the video in his mind. The dull-looking people. The tragic death of the reporter—everything.

"Why did she die like that? That's so… disastrous!"

He hardly heard Pepper's voice.

"In this time of our lives, that kind of death is now normal."

"What?"

Pepper hasn't spoken further details.

He covered his eyes and roughly whispered, "What the hell was that?"

Pepper crossed his arms, gazing down to the streets.

"Walkers invading the world."
