Hey, this is a request from Midenigufutsu Koyote. I did change some of it, if your reading this right now. So, I hope you enjoy. :) And I know I don't usually write stories without the pairing of Pepperony, but I'll try something new.

Los Angles, California.

Pain. All I could remember was pain. It was shooting up my arm, and racing towards my heart. They keep us high off drugs. I knew what was going on at least. I knew I wasn't a monster, like everyone else told me I was. I didn't belong here, I knew how to control myself. That one mistake, I made keeps me here. I knew that one day, despite what I think of myself, I knew that one day I would kill all the people keeping me here. I knew it, they knew it. They just didn't want to believe it...

New York, New York.

Tony raced into the Tomorrow Academy, late again. He entered the class, with a short lecture on being late, and told to show up for dentition. He sighed, and took his seat. Pepper leaned in and whispered excitedly, "Stopping a bomb?"

"No." Tony whispered back.

"Hey, I got some great inside information from the FBI. I got the spill when my dad got drunk." Pepper laughed quietly.

"Um...,hasn't your dad getting drunk a lot lately?" Tony asked, worriedly. Pepper got wide-eyed and said, "It doesn't matter, anyways..."

"Pepper-" Tony tried to say but until the teacher said, "Hey, stop talking." So, Tony dropped it, looked up at the board, and muttered; "Easy..."

Then 2 suited men entered the room.

"Hello, I'm from the FBI, I'm looking for Pepper Potts." One of the men said. Pepper looked up.

"Hey Al!" Pepper said.

"Hey Pepper." The man said.

"What's up?" Pepper asked.

"Well, come with me outside." Al said. They left the room.

"What do you think happened?" Rhodey leaned in and asked.

"I don't know..." Tony said, worriedly.

"I understand." Pepper sighed, looking at the 2 men behind her, and then took her seat.

"What's wrong?" Rhodey asked worriedly. Pepper opened her mouth to answer, but then the bell rang. "I gotta go to my next class."

"What's wrong?" Rhodey asked again, catching up to her.

"My father. He's gonna be gone for about 3 months." Pepper sighed.

"Oh. Sorry. You can stay with us for a while." Rhodey suggested.

"Nah. I did get a great spill though!" Pepper squealed.

"What is it?" Tony asked, trying to be equally excited.

"The FBI is researching a place that is taking innocent girl teenagers, keep them locked up, and drugged up. That's just messed up isn't? I mean who wants to be locked up like that? Innocent teengers! Girls too! what are they doing to them! I mean seriously! Is it a little to hard to respect us!!"

"Sergerto! Warden wants to see you!" The sargent said.

"I don't" I replied.

"What was that?!" He yelled.

"Fine..." I muttered. I got up from my bed, and walked over to the sargent.

"Move it." He ordered. We got out from my so called 'room' shared with 20 other girls. Walked down the hall, and literally pushed into the warden's office. God, sunlight. Why did God ever make a sun?

"Hello, Skilar..." The scratchy voice came from the desk.

"Warden." I greeted.

"I have a request for you." Warden said.

"What?" I asked. He smiled.

"Go to New York. Be normal, make friends." Warden coughed out.

"What's the catch?" I asked.

"All you have to do is protect someone." Warden said.

"Who?" I asked.

"Mona Lawrence?" Warden asked.

"Mona Lawrence?" I asked.

"Mona Lawrence." He answered.

"Mona Lawrence...?" I furrowed my brow. "What's she got into now?"

"Know her?" Warden asked.

"I met her when I was like 5." I crossed my legs.

"And you remember that?" Warden asked in disbelief.

"I stayed in contact." I answered.

"What happened?" Warden asked. Hasn't anyone ever told you that curiosity kills the cat?

"MY fangs, MY venom, MY mistake." I said.

"Uhhh..." Warden hummed.

"What I got me in here!!" I yelled.

"Gotcha. Okay, heres your chance. Mona is moving to New York. You know that she has that necklace. Easy enough for you, protect her."

"Fine..."

"Seriously,I mean, murderers target girls, and woman more than men and boys. That's not fair!! Woman have a chance in this world just as much men do! Sure, woman do have a bad reputation, but look at the great woman in history, Elizabeth I, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earheart, Abagail Smith Adams, Ida Lewis, Harriet Tubman, and many others!! Come on, even the rage of a woman shakes the coldest of men!! What do we have to do to get some respect around here!!" "Pepper!! We get the idea!" Tony interrupted Pepper's lecture. It was after school and she was still rambling about unequal treatment, it just continued on and on and on!!

"Have I proven my point?" Pepper asked.

"Yes!!" Rhodey and Tony said in unision.

"Okay, I rest my case..." Pepper said, proudly.

"Gosh I feel like I should never say 'that girls hot' anymore." Tony stated. Pepper laughed.

"Since when were you interested in girls?" Pepper mocked.

"Ha ha, very funny!" Tony mumbled as he purposely bumped into her. Pepper giggled.

"Why were you late for school, again?" Rhodey asked.

"I was looking around Stark Tower, I kinda hacked into their network, and saw some of their plans..." Tony muttered.

"What?!" Rhodey yelled.

"Tony!! I can't believe you hacked into Stark Tower, without ME!!" Pepper yelled.

"Not so loud, Pepper!" Tony said.

"Tony! I can't believe you did this, how many times do you have to get in trouble before you realise that you might get KICKED OUT!!" Rhodey yelled.

"Since when did you become the mother, Rhodey?" Pepper asked.

"Pepper! Will you shut up?!" Rhodey growled.

"Calm down, I did get some type of information, Stane is researching the makugan rings, accept they didn't look like rings, more like jewels..." Tony said.

"Makugan...jewels? I thought there was only rings." Pepper said.

"Me too, but apperantly there is, the jewels are like in a necklace." Tony said.

"What about this jewels?" Rhodey asked.

"I didn't get enough time to look what they can do, but there a lot like the makugan rings." Tony said.

"So, the only way were gonna know about these jewels, if we ask Gene?" Pepper asked.

"Theres no way in hell I'm gonna talk to Gene" Tony growled.

"Then how are we gonna know?"

The warden gave me a paper, describing everything about Mona Lawerance. She, apparently, has a choker necklace with a necklace that has a jewel, with the identical power to the makugan rings. Moving to New York. Pretty fuckin' obvious, no? Ugh. She getting married, to Tony Stark. Talk about Daddy Warbucks. Arranged marriage? Lame. Hmm, shes a loner. Doesn't do anything. No after school activites. No nothing. I wasn't even like this. At least I played soccer, for a little a while.

"Ready?" Sargent asked.

"Yeah. Lets go." I said, grabbing ny suitcase full with my stuff.

"This way." He pointed down a hallway, where the door which had sunlight poring through it. I growled.

"Something wrong?" Sargent asked.

"No, its just...Sunglight..." I muttered.

"Right, Demons aren't that big fan light." Sargent said.

"Yeah, we think its useless." I said.

"Well, it was nice having you here!" Sargent said. My first step into freedom. I didn't think it would come so soon.

Mona Lawerance took her first step into New York City. She was sitting at a table, drinking some coffee. Looking at the window into the night sky. After a while she started to drift off to sleep. When she was about to fall into sweet obvlion. She was snapped back when she heard a voice say;

"Do you always fall asleep in strange places?"

"S-Skilar." Mona mumbled sleepily.

"Yeah?" Skilar smirked.

"What the fuck happened to you?!" Mona yelled.

"I was...held up." Skilar said.

"Sure." Mona said, walking along Skilar.

"So, how you been?" Skilar asked. Mona grunted.

Ah, the meeting of two old best friends. Isn't it beatuiful?

There. Okay, I know I haven't updated A Great Fire. But I need ideas!! Here's the request, you asked for though!! :)
