I know that this is much shorter than the first part, but I thought it fit quite well x Please read and and review to tell me what you think x
He wasn't even conscious when he fell out of the sky, but he can still feel the falling. It's all his head, he knows, but that doesn't stop it from being real. Not really.
He falls too much, all of the time. From grace, from his Tower, from the top of his company building. If he can fall he's probably done it.
How many times has he almost made Pepper watch him die?
And now he can add one more to the count, falling to the ground out of an alien wormhole, only alive by a while lot of luck and the roar of a giant rage monster.
It's not fair, he knows that. He really shouldn't make her watch this, not over and over, but he knows that he's too selfish to let her go, even for her own good, and he knows that even if he asked her to she would refuse.
Because Pepper loves him to.
He loves her, and he's loved so few people.
And she loves him, and he thinks she just might be the first to.
So he can't let her go, not now, now ever, because he loves her. She is different to anyone he's ever known before and will ever know again. She can keep up with him, and outsmart him, and trick him into doing things that no one else ever could.
And he lets her because she's Pepper.
She's Pepper and when he's with her he feels like he's flying and that's a much better feeling than falling.
