Tony jolted awake, to find himself in a hospital room. With his hand handcuffed to the bed. He looked around anxiously to see Rhodey sitting in the chair by his bed. Rhodey didn't seem to notice that tony had woken up. He was to distracted playing Angry Birds on his IPhone. Tony rolled his eyes.

"Rhodey. Stop killing pigs and look up." Tony said sarcastically. Rhodey shot his head up, and smiled when he saw Tony was awake.

"Tony!" he said standing up and walking over to his bed. "Sorry about that…" He said pointing to the handcuff. "The Doctor thought it was nessciary." Tony cocked his head, then saw why when a man no more than five nine walked in. Doctor Downey. Tony laughed a little, but then his smile quickly faded.

"Where is Pepper?" He asked the doctor, rather shyly. Dr. Downey gulped, and cleared his throat.

"She is down the hall, but I suggest you stay handcuffed to your bed for now." The doctor said. Tony turned and looked at Rhodey. Rhodey nodded, and pulled Dr. Downey out to the hall with him. They stood out there for several minutes, throwing words and hand gestures back and forth until finally they walked back inside. Dr. Downey sighed and unhand cuffed Tony. Rhodey helped Tony out of the bed. Tony was still a little weak from everything that had happened. As well as the fact that it took his body a while to get use to a new ARC reactor.

Rhodey guided him down the hall, and stopped him at the door of Peppers room.

"Tony. You have to be careful. She might freak out when she see's you." Tony nodded, and they both walked in. She sat there under the glow of the ARC reactor. She just starred at it. like she didn't think it was real. She didn't turn when they walked in; she just kept looking at it. Tony pulled away from Rhodey, and slowly walked towards her. She pulled her gaze away from the ARC reactor when she heard Tony's footsteps. She looked at him for a second, then looked away.

"I told them to keep you away, for today at least." She said in a bitter tone. He ignored her words, and walked up next to the bed, and sat down. She didn't look at him.

"Tony, please just leave." She said looking out at the window. He didn't get it. it saved her life and this is how she repaid her?

"Why are you mad at me?" She gave him a look. "Why do you think Tony? You nearly killed us. And now…" She stopped. "I have a circle of light coming out of my chest!" She turned and glared at him. "So please just leave."

Tony stood up. "We almost died because I was trying to tell you how much you mean to me! Cause some how you forgot that your my everything. Do you think I would put tech as valuable as the ARC reactor in just anyone. I did it for you cause…" He stopped. He turned back to her. She was sitting there with and expression less face. 'Fine I'm sorry, that I saved your life." He started to walk off.

"This is so typical of you. You bottle your emotions until they explode in everyone's faces. I should have known a man like you could never change. You didn't put the ARC reactor in my body for me. You put it in for your self. So you wouldn't have the guilt. Well fine! I don't need your shit!"

Everything slowed down. Pepper pulled out the Arc reactor. Tony spun around and tried tostop her. But it was too late, she took the ARC reactor and threw it onto the ground. It shattered into a million pieces. Tony quickly grabed his ARC reactor and pulled it out. He quickly fell onto of her, and with the last of his strength he put his ARC reactor in her, and passed out.

Another cliff hanger. Did pepper over react? Maybe just a little. Will tony live? And WTF is Rhodey doing? He was just standing there. All question hopefully will be answered soon.
