(Look I updated! XD I didn't know how to describe cortana so don't go "what the hell? XD" when you read what I described virtual Pepper to look like in the story cause I copied and pasted that part from wiki LOL but of course I edited it a bit because in the description it said roughly in her early 20's umm no in this story Pepper is only 17 (I hope I didn't already set an age because I didn't review over this story XD). Alright well enjoy!)
"Pepper! Pepper can you hear me?!" Tony yelled.
He picked up the glowing chip and examined it.
"Alright lets get you to the armory" he said.
He dropped the chip in his pocket then armored up and flew from his window to the armory.
"Call Rhodey" he said.
"Calling..." Said the computer.
"Hey man what's up?" Rhodey asked.
"Rhodey we have a serious problem alright Pepper is in big trouble I need you to meet me at the armory ASAP!" Tony said.
"Aw man what did she do this time?" Rhodey asked.
"Just meet me there!" Tony said then hung up.
Once he got there he armored down then took out the chip and placed it under a scanner.
"Computer scan the chip" he said.
"Scanning...scan completed" said the computer.
"I wanna know where this thing came from" he said.
"Origins are traced back to a hidden lab in Russia" said the computer.
"Is there a way to release a human trapped inside it?" He asked.
"Determined by the scan results there is no way to release a human from its virtual state but you are able to access the person through a terminal which one is located in the hidden Russian lab" said the computer.
"Alright I'm here!" Rhodey yelled as he ran through the doors.
"Rhodey get in your armor we're heading to Russia" Tony said.
"W-What! Why?" Rhodey asked.
"Ill explain on the way!" Tony said.
"No you said you would explain now so do it!" Rhodey yelled.
Tony sighed in frustration then explained all the events that led up to now.
"Understand now?" He asked.
"So your saying Pepper is trapped in a little chip?" Rhodey asked.
"Yes and there's a lab in Russia that manufactured this crap and they are gonna help us get her out" Tony said.
"Alright then lets go I gotta be back before mom notices" Rhodey said.
They quickly armored up, Tony made sure the chip was secure in his armors secret compartment.
"Don't worry Pep I'll get you out soon" he said.
They blasted into the sky.
"Computer orbital launch now, have the war machine follow my lead" he said.
"Launching in 3,2,1" the computer said.
The armors blasted off in space to Russia.
...
About an hour or two later they finally made it.
"Show me the lab coordinates" Tony said.
The computer pulled up the location and he followed them. They were led to a door in a hidden alley. The door was already opened so they let themselves in.
"Whoa dude..." Rhodey said.
The lab was destroyed, they saw a few dead bodies laying around. Computers were smashed, desks were broken along with chairs, it pretty much looked like the beasts room in beauty and the beast except maybe more trashed.
The boys walked through the lab looking for things that might help them.
"What's this?" Tony said examining a strange object.
"Wait this is...the terminal!" He said excitedly.
"He took out the chip then inserted it.
Right when he inserted it a hologram was projected. It was a nude female human (albeit censored by geometric patterns over her body), with purplish/bluish skin, shoulder length purplish/bluish hair cut shorter at the back, and blue symbols scrolling down her body. She was staring right at Tony.
"P-Pepper?" Tony said.
"This...is amazing!" She yelled.
"Tony I have so much to tell you being inside this chip I-It's amazing! I know everything! All the knowledge it's magical in an instant I know everything about the world n-no! I know everything about everything!" She said.
"Well listen right now we're in Russia in a lab here and we need to figure out how to get you out of that chip" he said.
"I kinda don't wanna get out..." She said.
"What! You have to! You can't just stay in there forever" he said.
"I've never felt so good Tony this is truly the most magical thing I've ever experienced! Every minute I'm getting new information" She said.
Rhodey walked up to them.
"Is that Pepper?" He asked.
"Yup!" Pepper said.
Rhodey looked up and down then looked away in embarrassment.
"Tony do you not realize she doesn't have any clothes?" He said.
Pepper looked down then Tony started to notice. His whole face turned into a tomato then he quickly turned away.
"Well...you can't see my 'features' so I guess it's alright" she said quoting the features.
"Uhhhummm" Tony said.
"Guys whatever you can't see anything it's just an outline" she's said putting her hands on her hips and rolling her eyes.
"Alright I'm gonna pretend your wearing an invisible bikini...you can't see it but it's actually covering you...yeah that works!" He said turning around.
"Alright you clowns what are you gonna do about this?" She asked.
"Well the computer said there's no way to release you from the chip but I know there's a way there's got to be some sort of way" he said.
"Well there's nothing yet about that in my knowledge archive" she said.
"I thought you said you knew everything" he said.
"I might've exaggerated? I told you I get updates every minute!" She said.
"Mhm..." He said.
"Oh please I know far more than you!" She said.
"MHM..." He said.
"I can hack anything, get any code or any information I want, I can hack freaking NASSA without them tracing me with ease!" She said.
"Ill believe it when I see it and plus I used to hack them just for fun!" he said.
"Want me to access the mars rover? I can give you a view of what it's looking at?" She asked.
"No Pep don't get yourself in trouble" he said.
"Just for that I'm doing it! Accessing..." She said.
A few seconds later she projected what the rover was looking at through a functioning computer screen.
"With ease!" She said.
Rhodey ran over to it.
"This is amazing Pepper! Wow so that's what mars looks like right now..." He said.
"Alright Pepper you proved your point now get off their servers" he said.
She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
The connection was cut.
"Aw!" Rhodey whined.
"Come on we gotta figure out at least a way to project you again" Tony said.
"Actually you can install me into your suit, I'm compatible with it" she said.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yup just yank me then insert me into the suit" she said.
"Well alright then" he said.
Tony yanked the chip out then inserted it into the back of his neck where discs usually get imported.
"Analyzing...disc accepted" Said the computer.
"Tony can you hear me?" Pepper asked.
"Yeah I could hear you fine it worked" he said.
"We aren't going to find anything that's going to help us here we need to go back home to figure something out" she said.
"Rhodey we're going home lets go" Tony said.
...
It was three in the morning when they got half way back home. Tony was checking up on some stuff in his suit during orbital launch which automatically auto piloted for him.
"Tony...I'm sorry this happened it was my fault for messing with the chip" she said.
"It's alright Pep mistakes happen" he said.
She projected herself through the screen he was looking at.
"This was a big mistake what if I'm stuck like this forever? I like being smart and all but I like being human more actually" she said.
"Pepper your not going to be stuck like that forever I'm gonna do everything I can to bring you back" he said.
"I wish I could hug you..." She said
"I wanted to kiss you when I finally got a hold of you but you were just a hologram...I couldn't touch you and you were so little not human size at all" he said.
"I'm sorry..." She said.
"But that's okay because once I free you ill do everything I wanted to do" he said.
"I'm looking forward to it..." She smiled.
(Alright finally I'm so happy I updated! I'm hoping to get around "this is the part of me" cause I just need to do one more chapter then that's done! Anyways REVIEW! :D)
