Terror Chapter 1: The Proposal
"Love is Invincible facing danger and death. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell. The fire of love stops at nothing- it sweeps everything before it. Flood waters can't drown love, torrents of rain can't put it out." Song of Songs 8:6-8: The Message

"Come on Tony you're going to be late."
"I'm not scheduled to present until like ten-thirty Pep, relax." Tony rebutted calmly walking up to her.
"You're supposed to be there before it even starts Tony." Pepper argued once again.
"The People's Choice Awards can wait for my people to get there."
"Everyone can't wait on you Tony." She replied with a look of disapproval at his outfit.
"Tie my tie?" He asked with a smile.
Pepper rolled her eyes. He always did that. She knew he was very able to tie it properly but still insisted on it being done by her. She thought it was just an excuse for her to be close to him and within kissing distance.
"Do you have your speech memorized?" She asked trying to preoccupy his mind with more than just thoughts of ripping her dress off, not that she would have particularly minded, but she couldn't afford to indulge him tonight, or herself for that matter.
"It's an improv speech Pep." Tony cried. "There are only key points, the rest is all up to my fellow co-host Tina." He said just a bit starstruck that he was giving a semblance of a speech (more an introduction) with one of his favorite actresses, Tina Fey.
"She's certainly got her work cut out." Pepper teased with a smile, tightening the knot.
"Hey!" He protested weakly.
"Come on handsome, time to go. Happy is waiting." She said with a small laugh and smile.
"You look stunning tonight Pepper." Tony said softy looking over her.
"Thank you." She replied with a gentleness Tony had come to see far more often since they'd been dating, than in the past twelve years they'd been working. "Let's go." She said taking his arm and ushering him outside.

"And now presenting Tony Stark and his co-star Tina Fey!"
Tony grinned as applause filled his ear and he took his spot on stage with Tina beside him.
Tina began speaking first. "Throughout the year there's been many spectacular movies."
"Of course the best one is the one I'm in."
"Uh you've never been in a movie Tony." Tina corrected.
"But you have Tina and now you're a part of my live documentary."
"Tony, that's called the news! Not a documentary!"
Laughter erupted and Tony continued on, finding it easy to not break character. "Or so they want you to think, my camera men are the best, I met them all ten minutes ago and they seem like fabulous people."
More laughs came from every direction.
"We're not getting into this discussion. Ahem, anyways, what makes a proposal in a romance movie so memorable, Tony?"
"The place asked, the thought put into it." Tony answered.
"The ring, perhaps?"
"Let's take a look at these memorable proposals that were nominated for most romantic proposal in a romance movie." Tony said directing everyone's attention to the screens and off of him. He quickly made his way off stage, past the press waiting for him at the stage exit door, and pushed his way through to the row where Pepper was sitting. He hid behind her until the video feed cut to the live feed following him.
His heart began to beat in anticipation and a proud smile crossed his face as he knew Pepper didn't suspect a thing. He was glad she was sitting at the end of her row and watched as his cue appeared. He briefly looked up and saw himself walking to Pepper and Pepper staring at the screen confused when she saw herself.
He knelt down beside her and watched the confusion etched on her face leave immediately along with a gasp. He smiled and swallowed before speaking with confidence and affection.
"Pepper Potts, you've been through thick and thin with me and you've never once left my side even when we weren't a couple and now I know I could never survive without you being by my side. I love you with everything I am and now I want to ask you; will you continue to stick by my side as my wife?" His heart beat out of control as he waited.
He watched a smile begin to encompass her features and she spoke softly, "Yes."
Tony broke out into a contagious grin and there were claps and cheering all around as he slid the ring onto her finger and pulled her up to kiss her solidly.
"Come on Pep, let's ditch. My job is done. Tina's got it from here." He whispered. He gave Tina a wink, who had reappeared on stage, who caught it and began speaking as the cameras retracted from their fleeting forms and back onto Tina.
As they reached the back of the theater Tony could hear behind him, "And the winner of the 2013 most memorable proposal is..."
The door shut behind them as they walked out hand in hand just before the winner was announced.
As they walked down the steps Happy awaited their arrival as did the press by the Bentley. They ignored the flashes and continued on. Happy had a knowing smile on his face and opened the door for them but first hugged Pepper.
"Congratulations, I watched the whole thing go down."
"Thank you Happy." She replied excitedly with a smile.
"Hold up Pep. Happy, can you take a picture with my phone?" Tony asked.
"Yeah sure." Happy took the outstretched phone prepping it while Tony and Pepper got into a pose. He wrapped his arm around her waist while she held up her hand so the 2 carot diamond ring would be captured along with their equally luminescent smiles. Tony turned his head slightly to gaze adoringly at his fiancé's bright smile while she looked at the camera not realizing he was gazing.
"Three, two, one." The flash went off illuminating the couple admist the dark night. Happy reviewed his work and gave an approving smile before he handed the phone back to his employer in the back of the Bentley who set the picture as his wallpaper. The remainder of the night was filled with unspoken, physical affirmations of love, affection, and commitment.

"Tony." Pepper said weakly reprimanding him as he continued to place kisses on her neckline. "We can't be late for our own engagement party." She tried reasoning.
"Sure. we. can." He replied punctuating each word with another kiss.
"Tony, later, okay?" She tried reasoning again.
"Promise?" He asked, briefly stopping.
She smiled and placed a kiss on his lips ever so softly and whispered gently, "I promise."
He gave a small smile and relented finally walking out of the bedroom behind Pepper.

The party was a small gathering, including only Happy and Rhodey. Of course that didn't mean they didn't enjoy the time together at Rhodey's place. He had grilled steaks and there had been celebratory champagne drinking amongst the four. Happy of course only had a single flute as he was designated driver.
For hours they enjoyed one another's company and celebrated Tony and Pepper's engagement. It was when the clock struck midnight that Pepper called it quits saying she only had just enough energy left for the night. They said their goodbyes and went on their way.
The ride home was silent until less than a mile from home there was a loud smash that sent the Bentley spinning. That's when all hell broke loose; and Tony had a feeling the hit wasn't an accident as he shielded Pepper's body from the blow and took the brunt of the impact that sent then flying out of their seats and their heads into metal.
