Chapter 3
Wow… It's been forever since I have written for this story! It's near 2 months that I have not updated. Okay… So… I'm going to write this. I'm going to do this. (Breath) Okay… Here it goes.
First some shout outs!
SilverPedals1402- why thank you! I try for insanity!
XXSimplySunshineXx- you always make my day! Yeah… I try for funny! And yes he did cry! They pulled his heart monitor out! I would cry too! Maybe…
Arista17- yeah he is with Pepper! I didn't want them to get together like as a couple. She was pretty scarred so she just happened to kiss him for reassurance! You know what? Good point! I never wrote about Pepper or Rhodey or anyone else outside of Tony and Catherine! Thanks for reminding me!
Guest- Well I like Pepperony too! But I can't just leave poor Catherine out like outcasts now can I?
Aqua468- Thank you so much! So sorry for the late update! But here it is!
Okay here we go!
Disclaimer: Waa… No.
It was about another hour or so before Tony moaned. He didn't wake up but moaned. Catherine was really scarred about this. He had a heart monitor, just like Iron Man. In fact, Catherine pieced the puzzle together, she knew who Tony was. But she would wait until the moment came.
Another moan.
"Tony? Tony… Please wake up. We need to get moving with the plan that you talked about! Come on…" Catherine gently bounced her knee. Tony moaned once more, but this time he stirred.
"Ah…" Tony sat up, rubbing his head. "Okay… don't remind me of what just happened. Let's just move." He stumbled to his feet, before falling back down.
"Tony… Your heart monitor. I don't think you can do this, you need some time." Tony turned on her.
"So you're fine staying here for another couple of hours? Days? Catherine… we are going to get out! I don't care about how I feel we are leaving." Tony stood up and walked over the manacles that held him up many times before. He wrapped his hands around them and pulled.
"Come on! Come on!" The chains finally gave way, and Tony fell on the floor. "Right. Okay so let's get out of here."
…
Pepper wasn't worrying. So what Tony didn't pick up his phone 46 times? Or answered her 134 text messages? He probably was in the armory! Oh, but she checked already and there was no one there. It's okay… she was being paranoid. He was okay. He had to be.
"Hello?"
"Rhodey! It's me Pepper. Did you find Tony yet?" She heard a groan.
"Pepper… you called me just 2 minutes ago. NO! He's not here! Please Pepper… just go to bed! It's 3 in the morning." The line went dead. But Pepper couldn't sleep. Tony was in danger. She just knew he was, she couldn't describe it, but it was a gut feeling.
Ever since Tony and she have been going out, Pepper just grew closer to him than normal. Sure they shared kisses, hugs and what not. But Pepper just fell that she understood him better than anyone else. He was so fragile she knew he was. Everything he did was delicate work, as was his very body, so delicate. Hew as shaped into perfection, right about of muscle, tan, everything.
Pepper knew she found her soul mate. So what she was only sixteen? That wasn't going to stop her from pursuing her sweetheart. That's when an idea came to her head. Pepper quickly sprang to her feet.
"I know what to do!" Pepper quickly ran into her father's "secret" workroom and reached below the bed. "Where is it…?" She said in a hushed voice. "Ah HA!" Peppers pulled out her father's "secret" work laptop and popped open the case. A blank blue screen with the word PASSWORD blinked before her eyes. Rolling her eyes, she began typing word after word. Finally cracking the code.
Virgil Potts, being the FBI spy that he was, had a secret part in the laptop that could track nearly any person in the word with just one click. Pepper recently inserted a tracking device into a ring she made for Tony, well bought for him. Tony seemed to put a tracking device in everything she owned, so just for the fun of it Pepper placed one in his ring. If she was lucky, no one took away the ring from his finger.
"Tony… Stark." She typed in quickly. A large LOADING sign popped up on the top of the screen. "DARN IT!" A NO RESULT just angered Pepper more. She remembered something Tony had taught her, something about tracking a device. Recalling the procedure, Pepper did exactly what Tony had said and cheered. One result came on the screen and sure enough the satellites zoomed on a single dot moving across a room.
Stumbling to her feet, Pepper shut the computer and ran into her room. She grabbed her pink coat, slipped on her shoes, grabbed her purse, and headed out the door. Pepper ran down the stairs, and out the apartment complex. She had to get to Rhodey's quickly.
Once she reached the house, Pepper walked around the house until she found the slumbering child. It was a Saturday morning after all; he could catch up on his sleep later. Pepper opened the window, with only her hairpin, and slipped inside. "Rhodey!" She whispered. She only received a moan. "Rhodey!" Pepper put down her case and began shaking the boy. Just before Rhodey screamed, she clasped her hand across his mouth and shushed him.
"PEPPER! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Rhodey hissed. He pulled up his sheets, so that they covered his chest.
"Oh please. I found Tony." Just before Rhodey gave her another chat. "She pulled open the laptop and held it up to him to see. "Look… Tony is there! How can he be there? He was kidnapped Rhodey! And I found him! All we have to do is suit up and get him and go! It wouldn't take long… Please Rhodey?" He sighed standing up quickly.
"Fine. Okay, whatever." Slipping on a shirt and shorts, Rhodey followed Pepper out the window and sprinted with her to the armory.
…
"Stay quiet, and stay behind me." Tony said squatting. His leg burned with pain from the cut, but he was going to go home and everything would be back to normal. Tony held his hand out, "Give me the hairpin." Catherine gingerly handed him the pin and watched as the genius played with the lock.
"Come on…" He groaned in frustration. Finally he earned the click he wanted, and Tony quickly opened the door. Smirking towards Catherine he raised an eyebrow towards the open door. Catherine smiled.
"Let's go." Tony got down low and slowly ran towards the first door down the right. The left was sealed shut, but the right was very much long away down the hallway, it had to be a way out. Catherine followed close behind, she held his arm and let him led her away.
"Do you have any idea where to go?" Catherine asked in a whisper. Tony looked back at her.
"No ideas, if you have one please, don't hesitate to pitch in an idea." Catherine rolled her eyes. The two finally got to the double doors. It was a large steel framed monster, and it didn't seem that it would open anytime soon without a password.
"Give me your belt." Tony said again. Catherine looked down at her waist and quickly undid the strap. Tony blushed slightly, but shook his head he had to concentrate. Catherine handed him the belt and Tony ran up to the password lock. Switching the belt around to the buckle, he threw his arm back and brought it down with all his might. The lock shattered and electric sparks flew out. Since Tony was holding the non-conductive side of the belt, he waited until the sparks stopped before opening up the panel.
After shoving two wires together, Tony watched the doors swing open. "We're almost there." He grabbed Catherine's arm and started in a sprint.
It was pretty surprising to tony that the security was terrible! No guards, no nothing. Tony actually of course didn't mind the fact that there weren't any guards, but he knew something would come. He had to stop suddenly. Clutching his chest, he gasped for air. His chest was tight, and it burned as much as his leg. He felt Catherine touch his chest slightly.
"Do you want to rest?" She asked. Tony shook his head quickly.
"We… we have to… to keep going." Tony continued running down the hallway. Tony looked; briefly, down at his ring Pepper had given him. It was shining brightly. She had chosen a red color, the color he loved so much. But there was something else. That's when Tony stopped quickly.
"No way." He said. Catherine put her hand on her knees and glanced up at him.
"What?" Tony looked down at her, his chest heaving as well.
"Pepper put a tracking device in my ring." He showed the ring up to her. Sure enough, something blue shined beneath the red stone. It started blinking. "What does it mean if it's blinking?" Catherine asked.
Tony pulled the ring up to his face. His face broke out into a grin, and he chuckled. Glancing up at her he simply said, "They are on their way."
Sorry for the short chapter! I really wanted to hold off the actual action till the next chapter! This is all I got! So thanks so much for waiting ever so patiently!
Oh and I just remembered. Someone told me to write an epilogue for some story I wrote. I totally forgot about it and if you were the one who told me please tell me what story it was for! I'm so sorry! I don't remember why I forgot that!
Okay I'm done! HAHA! Please review!
