A/N: Sorry for the delay :)
And for the Right Now fans it isn't finished but I kinda have a hard time deciding the future of the story.
Chapter 2 – The Crime Scene
Tony took his jacket and stormed out of the mansion feeling a bit flushed. He had tried to cover the immense scar on his lower lip but he didn't manage to completely erase the last night events. The place where he'd bitten his lip hurt like hell, but that was nothing comparing the strange pain which was filling his chest every time he took a breath.
It was half past two and Pepper didn't show up at the mansion like she usually did.
Tony had been thinking all night about what happened that evening between them and resisted the urge to jump at one plausible conclusion. One slap and he lost all the control he had left.
The little control he had left.
Last night when he found her asleep on the cold bench, in the empty park his heart simply broke even more than it already was. The single reason he came back was that he wasn't ready for her resignation letter just yet. So he found her and pulled her sleeping form in his strong arms then carried her all the way to her apartment. He tried to ignore the fact that her arms encircled his neck and that she snuggled her warm body against his. He hadn't felt this comfortably in a long time so, as they reached the apartment he immediately tucked her in and pressed his lips hard against her forehead.
Tony decided.

Forty-five minutes later he parked his silver Audi in the parking lot, took a short look of himself in the mirror, frowning as he spotted the bruise on his lip again. Tony passed his hand through his damp hair, not helping at all the muffled look.
He quickly got in the elevator and pressed the button where her apartment was.
In a few seconds the elevator doors opened just in time for Tony to see ten or more cops standing right outside Pepper's apartment, one of them sticking the yellow tape around the wooden door. His heart rose to his throat as he registered that on the tape was written in black, bold letters 'crime scene'.
His feet took him in front of the cops who didn't even notice him. Tony couldn't resist the anxiety taking over him so he called her name but all it came out was a strangled moan in the back of his throat.
One of the policemen looked over at him, his expression slightly concerned.
Tony lost all his control as he ripped the tape off, ignoring the hands on his arms and the startled voices behind him. He didn't give a damn about the cops - all he wanted to know was that Pepper was alive, and that she was alright.
"Pepper!" He shouted.
The white noise was killing him.

Once again, sorry for the delay, and I hope you all like this.
