They rolled up to the hospital ten minutes later. The paramedics rolled Pepper out of the ambulance with great haste. They didn't have much time before she bleeded out. Tony held a metal canister in his hand, and followed quickly behind them. He tried to ignore how nervous he was being around a hospital and all. They ran to the entrance to meet Happy who was holding a silver suit case. Happy had grim look on his face, as he met up with Tony.
"Are you sure you want to do the Sir?" Tony kept up with the paramedics, so they wouldn't start without him. He quickly turned around and looked at Happy.
"I don't really have a choice." He said turning back around and following the paramedics down the long white hallway of the hospital. Tony hated hospitals. They brought back horrible memory's.

Tony sat in the hallway of Rogers international emergency care center. Exactly twenty minutes ago he had gotten a call that there had been an accident and he needed to come right away. He had almost gotten into an accident himself driving over here. It wasn't easy driving with tears streaming down your face. When Tony had gotten here, both his parents were already in surgery, and there was nothing he could do but wait.
A few minutes later a Doctor came into the hallway. Tony was staring at the ground when he saw two white shoes in front of him.
"Mr. Stark?" The man asked in a calm considerate voice. Tony lifted his head up to see a man, no more than five nine with spiked upwards hair and a bit of an after shave standing in front of him. Tony quickly pulled himself up, and straightens up his ruffled clothes.
"You must be Doctor Downey." The man nodded, but didn't smile. Tony licked his dry lips, and gulped down his dry saliva. This couldn't be good.
"I'm sorry Mr. Stark but there gone…" Tony dropped before he could finish his sentence. They were gone. Gone. Gone! His brain couldn't process it. It was too much too fast. It was strange and frightening. He didn't know what to do. He was afraid, and angry. He quickly launched forward, and attacked Dr. Downy. Throwing him to the floor. The last thing he remembered about that day was a few nurses prying him off the doctor, who laid on the floor stunned.
As they dragged Tony off he yelled.
"I didn't even get to say goodbye!"

Tony froze, for a second and then caught back up with the others and ran into the emergency room. That wasn't going to happen this time. He saw her. She laid there on the table all ready for him. Her helpless blue eyes closed tight preparing for the hell ahead. He ignored his fears, and the shock's of pain coming from his ARC reactor. And put the suit case on the table next to her. He took a deep breath and turned towards the paramedics who patently waited his commands. He handed the metal tube to a young man, and Tony put some gloves on.
"Okay skinny boy with the metal tube…you need to put it in her." The man had a look of horror on his face. "Just do it!" Tony barked at him. The man flinched and got right on it. He started to open her up right above her breasts. Tony turned away not able to watch the man. He couldn't watch the death of his girlfriend so he turned to the others.
"Two of you help him. The others over here with me." They nodded, and a man and a women walked over too Tony. They watched in amazement as he opened the suit case to reveal a glowing light, known as the ARC reactor. Which is the blessed thing that kept him alive, and would soon be keeping her alive too.
"We're going to put that in her body?" The young man asked. Tony picked it up and nodded.
"The Tube is in Mr. Stark." Said one of the girls who had been helping place the tube in her body. He slowly walked over there, holding the ARC reactor with shaky hands. He was nervous, and who could blame him. He slowly stepped over to her. When.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.
"Where losing her!" One of the women said as she rushed to her side. Tony freaked out, and pushed one of them out the way, attempting to place the ARC reactor in the tube. He almost screamed when he say there was no base plate.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.
"Where the Fuck is the base plate!" He screamed. One of the women had a sheepish look on her face, as she handed him the flat one dimensional disk.
"We need to pull it out, and put it back in!" He shouted, as the quickly pulled it out, and the beeps went faster. The laid the base plate down, and put the tube back in. Tony quickly plugged the ARC reactor in, and instantly. The beeps slowed. And he fell down onto the floor. From the fact that his own ARC reactor was failing. He started to black out, and the last thing he saw was the glow of the new ARC reactor on peppers chest. And he knew he had been successful.
Another cliff hanger of the sorts. Thanks to BarefootBeachBum. Who inspired me to write more. please comment, they make my day :D
Try to listen to the song "Fix you" by cold play and read this. I listened to it while writing and had to stop so I wouldn't cry. And I got the Dr. Downey idea from NCISville. Go check her stories out there great.
