Okay, that has got to be one of the fastest update I've ever done, SO HURRAY! And it's long too! :) Sometimes i think i spoil you guys! Both chapters were finished and posted within 12 hours. So, yay!

Only Howard knows of the identity of Iron man and the others. NO one else. Got it? Good.

Pepper woke up to silence. Panicked, she wasted no time sitting up and looking around. Surprisingly, she remembered what happened before she went to sleep, but instantly regretted sitting up. Of course, her stomach.

"Pepper, don't do that." Tony's voice said worriedly from next to her.

She looked over to him and he eased her back down on her back. "Tony?"

"Yeah?" Tony responded.

"Nothing."

"Okay."

"Wait, did you call anyone?" She asked.

"Can't, there's no phone reception." Tony replied. "Not even my phone, but I can't actually find out because it's broken anyways."

"Oh, is everyone alright?"

"Yeah, no one died if that's what you're wondering. That over there is Jason Smith, a returning marine," Tony said gesturing. "That is Jane, she's 7 months pregnant, that's Mathew, he's a 9 year old guitarist, and that," Tony said gesturing tiredly to the last man. "Is Jim. The cranky business man."

"So, no one's hurt?"

"No, they're hurt, just not as bad as you. Jason and I already tended to their wounds with a heath kit he had. Though, it took us almost 10 minutes just to convince Jim to let us examine his broken arm." Tony said sighing.

"What about you?"

"Me?" Tony asked. "I'm fine, just a few cuts and a sprained wrist."

"I can see your head you know." She said.

"I know."

There was a sparking sound and a startled scream. Tony instantly jumped away from the wall and into the hallway part of the subway, which was hard to stand up in with the whole subway tilted. He saw Jane flinching away from a hole in the wall of the train, rubbing her arm.

"Jane, you alright?" He called as he made his way over to her.

"No!" She cried out. "This wall just shocked me!"

"Stay calm," Tony started, not wanting her to throw a fit. "Just come to me."

She shakily stood up and stumbled next to Tony. Tony held onto her arm as he directed her over to where they were sitting and made sure she was sitting some place safe.

"Thanks." She muttered.

Tony noticed as Mathew made his way over to her and sat next to her. Tony smiled, glad that the boy could talk to someone.

"Hey, Stark." Jim's voice demanded. "If you're a genius, you should be thinking of some way to get us out, and not tending to pathetically weak woman."

Tony turned around with a glare and Pepper wanted to get up and slap that jerk, but due to her stomach she could hardly move without agonizing pain.

But that's what she had Tony for. Tony walked up the man and glared at him some more before he spoke. "Excuse me?" he began. "That pathetically weak woman, is not only pregnant, but much braver than you'll ever be."

"I wouldn't talk to your elder in such a way, young man."

"And why not?" Tony challenged.

"Because I at least have the decency to even think about getting out of here."

"You don't think I haven't thought of that?" Tony asked.

"I'm sure you haven't, since you're too busy playing mother-hen for them." Jim sneered. "And why can't your little girlfriend help out, at least army boy is helping. She's just laying there like a lazy piece of-"

Tony slapped the man before he could finish. "Don't. You. Ever. Talk about her like that!"

Jim just stared at Tony in shock.

"I'm not even going to grace your question with an answer." Tony said walking away.

He resumed to sitting next to Pepper, with an angry sigh.

"Tony." She whispered.

"Hmm?" He said not looking at her.

"Thanks."

Then he looked at her, surprised. "For what?"

"Slapping him, I couldn't stand him."

Tony chuckled. "You're welcome, Pep."

Rhodey walked home, late from school. He shouldered his bag as he rounded a corner and yawned from a long day. He checked his phones for any phone calls or texts telling him to get his butt out of the library and to the armory, but there was none. Odd.

Fire trucks and police cars and ambulances sped across the streets of New York and Rhodey's eyes widened, knowing it must be big. So, he whipped out his phone and dialed Tony's number. No answer. He assumed Tony was already at the problem, so Rhodey just dialed up Pepper to see if she knew what the deal was. But she didn't answer either. Maybe she decided to help him out because it was just that big of a deal.

Worried, he ran all the way to the armory. Once he got there, he sat down in the controller chair and linked up to the armor, but found that the armor was still in the armory.

"What is going on?" He said to himself.

He opened up the computer and listened to police scanners and flipped the news on the nearby TV the instant he heard of a huge crash in the subway. One the news show a huge caved in section of a street with half a building toppled over it, showing only glimpses of the butt end of the subway. But he didn't see iron man or rescue and

He then dialed his mom, because there was a chance the two went to his house instead.

"Hello?" His mother responded.

"Mom, have you seen Tony or Pepper?" He asked.

"No, I thought you guys would be hiding out in Tony's secret lab again." Roberta replied.

"No, but thanks mom."

"Yep, see you tonight."

He hung up the phone at repeated the conversation with Howard and Virgil. He double checked the news that was currently saying something about a bomb on the tracks, before he concluded that Tony and Pepper were on the Subway. He just really hoped he was wrong.

Tony fell asleep at some point, exhausted. Pepper tried to follow his lead, but couldn't bring herself to actually do more than close her eyes. So, she busied herself with playing games on her cellphone. She would have went on Tony's, but like he had said, it was broken.

At some point Mathew came over and started to talk to her and had requested if he could play with her phone when she was finished, which she agreed to. As long as he still kept her company. Which, he gladly agreed to.

Tony woke up just as they all started to hear noises from outside the train. He looked to see if Pepper was awake, which was she was, before he got up.

"I'm going to try to find a way out." He said to her.

"Okay." She responded. "Please be careful."

"I will."

He walked to one of the doorways, preferably the one closest the top, but ended up with the lower one because he had more leverage to jam the door open that way. It took him a while, a painful while, but finally he opened it enough to squeeze through. He left his shoe in the doorway so it didn't shut all the way.

Once he was out, he crouch/walked to where there was a dead end that met with the front of the train. He used the closeness between the 'wall' and the subway to get himself on top of the subway. Which, he had to army crawl on until he got closer to the center of the train, but he only got to crawl at that point.

He didn't get very far before he found that it was pretty useless to try, because he was cut off from going anywhere, and besides a few cracks in the ceiling, he couldn't see anything above him. He searched as much as he could for an opening he could crawl through, but found nothing. The only thing he accomplished was falling off the side of the train and getting not only a sprained ankle, but a decent sized cut that ran from the back of his shoulder to halfway down his back.

He winced as he tried to find out where he came from so he could get back to the door. It didn't' take him long to find the small area to where he came from and started to crawl his way back. Again, using a long and painful while, he opened the door back up and made it back in.

He sat back down next to Pepper with a winded sigh. "That was a waste of time."

"No luck I'm guessing?" Pepper asked.

Tony swore he could hear Jim scoffing from across the train. Tony ignored him. "Yeah, all I got was a sprained ankle and a cut."

"You okay?" She questioned worriedly.

"Fine." Tony replied.

He groaned and rubbed his head as he felt a serious headache coming on. Pepper eyed him worriedly, but let it go, knowing what was wrong. He had hit his head and probably had some kind of concussion, she most likely had one too, but she's been trying her best to ignore her headache for a while now.

"Do you remember how this happened Tony?" She asked, not remembering herself.

"Nope." He replied.

"Ugh, I just remember waking up to you."

"At least you had a decent wake up, I was stuck under rubble." Tony said looking at his wrist. "It was how my wrist was sprained."

"Well, I'll trade you, a sprained wrist for a piece of glass in your stomach."

"I'll pass."

They both sighed, wondering when they'll get out.

Rhodey arrived at the scene as War Machine, ready to help. If his friends were there, no one was going to stop him from saving them. Even if they weren't. Nothing, but a modulated voice that was broadcasting all over NY advertisement TV's and screens.

"Consider this a warning to all of you in New York." The voice said. "Especially to Iron man and his little pal's. None of you shall mess with me, New York is mine."

The voice disappeared and the normal ad's appeared on the screens and TV's. Rhodey paled as he realized that this wasn't just a severe accident, it was on purpose. The rumors of a bomb being in the tracks were true, apparently.

"Oh no, this ain't good."


Okay, i hope that was better than the first chapter. Two things. One: The end part with the voice and whatnot, I've actually decided might lead to a whole different story. Not sure yet. And two: Did any of you want to punch Jim in the face? I know i did. So, I made Tony do something of the sort. :) hheehee! Haytar96 told me he was a huge jerk, so I made him a huge jerk!

Next chapter should be up later on Today, or tomorrow. I'm trying to finish this so I can do a few things on my list of to do's.

Fun Fact: I have a friend who really likes to draw weird and random things that she would normally just throw away when she's done, but I've got it so she will give them to me and i hang them up in my room, even if she throws them away, i will dig them up. Yeah, I'm weird that way.

Okay, one more thing. Have any of you noticed that in my story "Not So Ordinary" There's a jerk named Jim too? I just noticed that and i'm starting to wondering if i have something against the name Jim...Don't worry i don't, but its just weird. My mind seems to think Jim is a good name for a jerk, but really I've known three Jim's in my life and only one was a jerk. The other two were actually really nice...heh well, that's just weird...

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed! I did better than the last chapter! BYE! Don't forget to REVIEW!
