AN: Ok. Before I start this a few points I would like to make. this is based off an RP, everything may not follow the movies/comics but I have done my best to make it fit better in story formatsome /dates have been changed due to the RPthere will be OC's, is still a work in progress, it may change a few times before sticking so just keep a watch for it if you get alerts for this story .yes. This will be a continuing story, it will be put into a few series of stories because so much happens. If it was all in one, there would be close to 100 chapters and no one wants to read something 100 chapters long
you won't regret reading this and stick with it.
Tony hated this. This acting and putting on a smile. He knew he was dying and if he was being honest with himself, he was fucking miserable but doesn't mean everyone else should be for him. So he went to great lengths to make others happy. Giving away his paintings, donating to youth charities, making Pepper CEO because he couldn't fucking Handel this anymore. He had one too many rum and cokes as he walked into the bathroom, feeling that familiar weakness from the palladium poisoning. He got out his monitor., pressing his thumb to it. Tony suckled on his thumb after seeing the bright green numbers on the toxicity monitor. Sighed. He was a dead man walking. Literally. He leaned against the sink. This thing was moving fast, faster then he could find a new element. Well, if he was gonna die. He was doing it his way. He looked himself in the mirror. Eyes heavy with a burden only he knew. "So? Got any bad ideas?"
Her friend urged her to one of the lawn seats. They were dangerous and they were cheap and better yet, free. She was just an intern at SI, a nobody. Had a few close friends but lived by herself. She mad many the admirer but all of them gave her a bad feeling or were generally just jerks. She was gorgeous, thin and sweet as honey but there was the tiniest fighting spirit in her. The young woman being lead to the lawn seats by her overly excited friend was Kim and her friend got free tickets to this race that was sponsored by SI and had some share or merge with it. They could barely believe what happened once they sat down in there seats.
He could only imagined Peppers face when he jumped in his race car. He knew she would be worrying like crazy but he really didn't give a shit. If he was gonna die, he was doing it his way, not letting some poison take him like a fading candle. He revved it, driving fast as the little car could go. He wasn't five minutes into the race when he saw this large, crazy man with Tesla whips. It was almost too late when a Tesla whip went thru his car, making it fly into the air, metal and debris flying everywhere. Of all the ways to die in this race, he didn't imagine this would be it. He groaned, he was upside down. It was a struggle to get is helmet off. There was fire everywhere and he had to push back a flash back from the cave. With a deep breath he made his way out of the car, only to have to doge another whip. And another. Of corse this guy was after him. He couldn't just die in a blaze of fire. The guy managed to knock him back, falling, making him hit his head on his car, black him out.
Kim gasped, standing up quickly as she watched in horror. She was about to run when her friend caught her arm. "Wait! You can't go out there! He'll kill you to." Kim struggled out of her friends hold,looking back to Tony laying motionless on the ground. "Nobody is going after him-" "Because that guy will kill them." Kim shook her head. "I'm sorry. I have to help him." Before her friend could grab her she ran fast as she could to the fence, police saw this, trying to stop her. Shouting, trying to grab her but she evaded, jumping the fence, nearly falling as she ran to tony, slapping his face, shaking him. "Mr. Stark! Tony! Please you have to wake up! You're in danger!" Tony started to wake, hearing this lovely voice with just the slightest Irish accent mixed into it. Then he opened his eyes and she was gorgeous. The sun haloed her head,making her red hair glitter and he thought for a moment he actually died. Until he heard her telling him to wake up and then saw this tesla guy behind her. He moved them quickly, getting her to run but before they could get distance they fire reached the tank, making the explosion he knew would be there, happen, knocking them both off there feet, Kim hitting her head off the side of the car in the process, rendering her unconscious.
He heard a familiar engine pull up with a screech. He had no time to worry about the now unconscious woman on the ground. He went over to them quickly, getting his suit. Pepper screaming out the window to him. "Are you out of your mind!?"He groaned. He didn't need this right now. "I was attacked! Happy get her out of here!" "Yes sir!" He put the suitcase on the ground, punching both fists into it, it formed it's way around his body, once on he shot a repulser at the arc reactor he now saw in the middle but the man managed to get a whip around his neck and shoulders, throwing Tony around like a rag doll. But he got control, gripping them, ignoring the pain going thru him thru the suit, wrapping it around him. He was close enough, gripping the arc reactor, taking it out.
He crushed it, throwing it to the ground before turning to the woman on the ground. A guilty lump starting in his throat. Why did she do that? Run out there to try to save his miserable life when police and paramedics didn't? He went to her, looking her over with JARVIS. "Jay, how she looking? She isn't dead is she?" "No sir but she has suffered a rather bad concussion and needs medical attention." He sighed. "Thanks for saving my life mysterious woman. Now I'm gonna save yours." He picked her up gently as he could, flying her to the nearest hospital. The people in the waiting room and outside of it were stunned as Iron Man landed, walking inside, still holding the nameless woman limp in hi arms. She had a bad gash on her head, most likely from hitting the car. A doctor came to him. "Oh my, what happened?" "Just help, please, I'll pay you whatever you need.." The doctor nodded, signaling for a stretcher.
Tony placed her on it gently, letting them wheel her away then getting out of his suit, holding it in it's suitcase form, sitting down. He got his phone out, 4 missed calls from pepper. Shit. He was in trouble. It was two hours later (and a lot of pestering) that the doctors allowed him to see this woman. He had to know her name. Had to thank her. No one had ever put themselves in the line of fire for him, especially no one who didn't know him, who was a total stranger. He came in, he was happy she was awake. He smiled over, walking to the side of the bed. "That was quite an act you did. I'm still not sure if it was realy stupid or really brave." He saw her look down, blushing, playing with the blanket nervously. He found it adorable how shy she was. "Well I couldn't just let you die. No one else was going out there to help. I had to do something." "But you don't even know me. Maybe I deserved it." She smiled weakly as his joke. He sighed with a genuine smile. "Anyway. I wanted to thank you. I could be dead if it weren't for you." He looked her over. She was adorable with a gorgeous face. Dark red hair that went past her shoulders, large green eyes and the fainest touch of freckles on her face. She was gorgeous and going by the accent, irish.
He found himself wanting to know her more. He got the nearby notepad and pen, writing his name and number, handing it to her. "Tell you what,If your ever in new york, give me a call." He smiled, laughing lightly, nervously. "Sorry, most of the time this is the other way around." She smiled, laughing lightly as well. His heart stopped a moment, he loved her laugh. "Yes, I imagine it would be ." "Please, call me Tony." "Ok. Tony. I will give you a call later." He smiled. "Good. Good I guess I'll hear from you later." He started to walk out when he realized, he didn't know her name, he poked his head back in. "Uhh sorry..whats your name?" She just smiled to him. "Kim. My name is Kim." He smiled. "It's nice to meet you Kim."
