So I know I have other stories to update, but I was looking through some of my old saved stories and I found this. With some editing I decided it was okay to post. I think it was intended as a one-shot, but I'll continue it if anyone is interested!

Please excuse the bad quality of writing, I tried to fix as much as I could :) I would love to hear your reviews!

Pepper's eyes flew open as her vision adjusted to the scene surrounding her. She groaned as she rubbed her head. Everything around her was blurry; the same feeling was pulsating throughout her body. It resembled the television static she saw as a child, a numb, blurriness overcoming every sense.

She blinked a couple of times and saw that she was suspended above the ground, her body barely hanging out of a seat, her small frame supported by a seat belt. She was about 3 metres off the ground, and decided it was best to get down. Her fingers shook as Pepper quickly undid the seatbelt, and as soon as she undid the clasp her body fell to the ground with thud.

She yelped at the sudden pain shooting through her stomach and laid her back on the warm, sandy ground.

Wait. Sand?

"Oh god." She muttered as she tried to pull herself up. Metal surrounded her. She saw in the windy distance a giant metal cylinder and it instantly hit her.

"The jet." She stuttered. Pulling herself up, Pepper limped to the wreckage, ignoring the pain filling her body.

"HELLO?" Pepper gasped.

Approaching the plane that she now noticed was in flames, she tried again, "ANYONE?"

Seconds of silence followed, the only sound audible was the lick of the flames and the wind hollowing in her ears. She immediately thought of the events of the crash, searching her mind for answers.

The searing pain coming from her stomach interrupted her thought process. Hesitantly, she slowly lifted her ratty business shirt. Pepper nearly fainted at the sight of her blood. Her stomach had large gashes across it and tiny specks of metal were lodged into her skin. She winced as she lowered her shirt.

What had happened?

Pepper's heart stopped when she saw him. His armour was battered and scraped, New York was in ruins and hundreds were dead.

"C'mon Tony." Pepper muttered under her breath as the news report flickered to a shot of him down on the ground, vulnerable and fired at by dozens of creatures.

He didn't get up.

Pepper bit her lip and rose from her seat anxiously. Everyone on the plane had fallen silent and was fully engrossed in the small television on the equally small plane.

He suddenly sat up and flew away into the sky, narrowly escaping the creatures firing at him. She sighed from relief and everyone on the jet nodded and gave small, but reassuring smiles.

Those smiles turned into screams.

Pepper felt her body propel into the ceiling of the aircraft, everyone else on-board following her. The murmur of the TV was gone, and the lights in the cabin flickered as her stomach lurched upwards. Everything was happening at such a fast pace that she couldn't even comprehend what she was seeing.

Her body felt weightless, a feeling she had always hated. Fond memories of Tony forcing her onto a rollercoaster flooded her mind, that memory contorting into a real life nightmare. The feeling of the coaster lurching forwards at the peak was terrifying, but she had his hand, his reassuring smile to get her through. But now, she had nothing; there was no safety harness on this ride.

The sound around her was muffled, her ears felt blocked. Her vision blurred from pure shock, but she could make out a figure near her, a flight attendant. Pepper saw his mouth move, presumably yelling instructions at her, but she couldn't hear a word of what he was saying.

The plane continued to spiral downwards, her body moving in the direction of the plane. The flight attendant pushed her towards a seat, and Pepper, in pure adrenalin grasped onto it tightly. The man's fingers shook to clasp the buckle of the seatbelt, his body being pulled by gravitational force. Still deafened, Pepper saw everything in slow motion. The flight attendant's desperate eyes, the horrified faces of other members on board, and her phone, the light from it blinking in the darkness.

The click of the seatbelt brought her out of her stream of consciousness, her hearing restored as screams and the gushing of wind made her wince. She could see a good portion of the plane was missing, and to her horror, the crew were sucked out, their bodies powerless against the sheer pull.

The man who had helped her was desperately clinging onto a chair, his legs dangling on the outside of the plane. Pepper was helpless, she couldn't reach him, and her body was strapped to the safety of the seat. The flight attendant didn't scream or yell; he just looked at the CEO, his eyes frightened. Within seconds, his grip loosened, and he disappeared.

For the first time of the whole ordeal, Pepper screamed, her voice hoarse. She felt like she was going to vomit. Her breathing quickened as she realised that this plane was going to crash, and she wasn't prepared. Casting her mind back to those informational videos played at the beginning of flights, Pepper choked out a sob as she placed her head between her knees. Not knowing of what else to do, she prayed, prayed for her life.

She went unconscious when the jet flipped.

Yeah, so that was kind of intense.

Reviews would be amazing!
