Tony and Pepper walked to Pepper's locker, the note that fell put scared them. 'Watch your back, Potts. And I'm watching you Stark, Gene.'
"No one is coming between us again, Pepper" Tony smiled. Then the explosion happened….

Fear and fire filled the halls. Pepper closed her locker door, triggering the explosion; there was now a distant sound of fire trucks in the background. "Tony? Oww, are-are you there?" Pepper said, she was trapped under that row of lockers. They were the only people in that hall when the bomb went off. The rest of the school was evacuating. Pepper tried to get free but realised her foot was trapped in, Perfect. Her foot was trapped in Gene's old locker. A metal hand pushed a few lockers off her, she smiled and looked up expecting to see Tony as Iron man but saw Gene as the Mandarin towering over her, "Crap." She mumbled. If she was okay Tony had to be as well, he was coming for her….

Tony was standing on the side of the locker that the bomb was planted in. Set to go off once the door closed, He flew back into the wall followed by half a row of lockers. "Pepper!" he yelled right before the lockers hit him, he fell unconscious.

The Tong appeared and pulled Pepper free, she tried to run but her ankle was broken this would work out better for Gene. Pepper tried struggling to no avail as The Tong tied her up and gagged her. "Sorry Pepper, you talk too much." He did have the heart to forcibly knock her out so he used knock out gas, Pepper struggle trying to scream then fell to the ground. "Put the hostage in the truck, then we leave."
"But Mandarin, what about the Stark boy, will he not get in the way?"
"Not if he wants to see Pepper alive ever again."
