Yay new chapter. The change in writing stories has been fun. I haven't written one in a while and it feels good to share these ideas. Anyway thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.

"Boss, I am going to check the security camera, they would have captured where she went." Happy immediately turned and headed for the hallway. It was long and lit up. At the end there was a security office with multiple screens showing different parts of the house.

On the main room monitor Happy sees Tony talking with Rhodey. Sitting down at the key board Happy starts backing up the main room feed a little bit until her can see Pepper at the bar.

"Ok Pepper, what happened?" Happy asks to himself. As he is watching the caterer pour her drink he notices the boy put a powder in her drink.

Happy rubs his hands on his face, please don't drink it Pepper. Happy's thoughts went wild hoping in that moment she wouldn't press the glass up to her lips, but he watches as she downs about two thirds of the drink.

Happy watched as Pepper got off balance and dropped the drink. As he is watching the rest of that moment he notices Justin Hammer in the back ground. "You have got to be kidding me!" Happy yells getting out of chair and running down the hallway to find Tony.

As he approaches Tony he sees him over where the broken glass is. Tony is crouched down examining the broken glass and scooping up some of the liquid. "Jarvis, run a test of this." As Jarvis calculates he looks over his shoulder and sees Happy.

Without taking another breath Tony stands up, he doesn't even need to ask him anything about Pepper. The expression Happy's face says it all.

"Sir I have finished running a test. It seems to be Miss Potts favorite martini, however, there is a mixture of crushed pills and drug related substances in the drink. It appears that Miss Potts was drugged. I would suggest and immediate check of the security feed." Almost instantly Tony goes ghost white.

"Happy, what did you see?" All Happy could do was gesture him to follow down the hall into the security room. "Tony, we had an unexpected guest show up, take a look." Happy rewinds the footage to show Pepper being drugged all the way up to the footage showing Justin and his group of men. Tony saw as the caterer stopped her, he could see how close she was to getting to him.

"Okay that is enough, I can't stand anymore. Clear everyone out the party is over." Tony tells Happy. Both Tony and Happy enter the main room. Happy begins to clear everyone out while Tony finds Rhodey who was sitting the caterer. "You got a name?" Tony asks him trying really hard to beat him up for what he did.

"Yeah, the names Danny and I can't tell you anything. Even if I wanted to I don't know where he took her exactly."

"What do you mean by exactly?" Rhodey asks. Both look at each other confused by his phrasing of words.

"Hammer had given me the substance to put in her drink, he knew she would go for one. He told me exactly how I was to play this out tonight. When I had asked where they were going, before all this was kicked into motion he said back to where he has authority and power which I would assume is back in the states. That's where all his recourses would be."

Tony and Rhodey look at each other again, both wondering whether or not he could be telling the truth or not. "Look you may not believe me but, when I saw her and you I didn't want to go through with it, I almost didn't slip the powder in her drink. I knew if I didn't he would hurt a lot more people." Danny continued.

Rhodey grabbed him by the arm and walked him into the main room which was now empty. Happy was standing at the doorway, "where to now?"

"Back to the states, that's where we believe he would take Pepper. We need to make a stop on the way to the airport. He is being dropped off at the authorities. We will let you be punished on foreign soil for this." Tony says. All of them load up in his white car and head towards the airport.

"Tony we have no idea where he would have taken her once we get back. He isn't going to have her at Hammer industries, he unfortunately isn't stupid enough for that." Rhodey says as they load their stuff on the jet. As Tony unloads Pepper's bags from the car he gets a text message from an unknown number.

Anthony, it is so good to hear you are doing well. I have a few things over the next couple of days I would like to negotiate with you. Once you get back to the states you should be expecting a phone call from me.

He thought his phone might break in his hands. Negotiate? What does he want, he knows he can't have the suit's. Those type of thoughts wracked his brain the whole flight back.

Somewhere in the US

"Okay, she is in lab room." One of his men say. Justin nods and looks down at him phone with the text he is about to send Tony from an unencryptable carrier. As he presses the send button he feels a slight release.

"Thank you, make sure she is restrained, I really don't want to be playing hide and seek with her." Michael looks over to Justin, he is going through articles and gathering as much information about Pepper as possible. Leverage has always been Michaels play when talking to someone, if he can have what hits their sweet spot already to go it is a tactic he likes to use right off the get go.

"Justin, you should let me mess with her head a bit. You know digging into them and really getting to the center of their pain is what I am good at." Michael says as he finds some information on a stark server, he was able to hack into.

"Very well, but it won't happen when she wakes. I want to address my terms with Tony before we start that. I want him every time we chat to watched her get worse, so he eventually cracks." Michaels nods and continues to go back to his research on the computer.

Justin walks down the hall to the lab where they put Pepper for the time being. He watched as her chest slowly rises and falls. The mix of pills and drugs crushed into her drink was a lot on her body. The dosage she got would have killed her within hours if she had drank the whole thing. Justin can't help but admire his handy work. Within 24 hours he was able to take Tony Stark's prized possession and get far enough away before he could figure out what had happened.

"Sir we have checked he vitals and blood pressure. He heart rate is very slow, but we should expect it to rise a bit in the next hour or two and by then the drugs should be waring off."

"Very good, until then we wait and prepare. Our next steps will change the way I negotiate and handle very sensitive situations." Hammer says still keeping his eye on Pepper.

"If you don't mind me asking, what is your plan for her exactly?" The man asks him. Justin turns to him and observes the curiosity. Should he say what he wants to do or keep it to himself?

"Well I plan on breaking her while she is with me. You see I hold a grudge on both, she destroyed everything just as much as he did. But you see he has what I want and she is the key to it all. Without his Pepper, Tony will crack and he will watch as my plan unfolds without fail." Justin says it in a way that is so confident it would be as if there would be no other way for this to go. That is exactly how he intends it to be.

Okay now we are getting somewhere. Now that I have built everything and included most of the characters I want to play apart in this it will become slightly more action packed. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please leave a review if you want or send me a message. I love feedback. Thanks everyone for reading.
