HI! Shout out to Hope06 she inspires me to keep writing my stories. I know least I'll get a review from her. Thanks my friend. To everyone reading I still hope having a nice weekend and being patient and good for Santa is coming Monday night you know.
Tony knew Pepper was really sick as she fell back to sleep. For one thing, her scolding usually lasted longer than a sentence or two. It also always ended with her winning and he'd apologize for being an idiot…again.
But it really took a toll on her just on that one sentence. It was still enough to make him feel miserable and guilty, so she still kinda won.
Tony though couldn't force himself to get out of bed. He couldn't leave Pepper…not after all she did for him over the years.
Steve had stormed out and went back to his other team-mates. "You were right Bruce…I forgot just how much of a jerk Tony was…" he told the doctor.
"What did the idiot say this time?" Clint asked curiously. "What doesn't he say Barton?" Steve replied and Clint raised a brow.
"Fine…wanna know? Mr. Tony jackass Stark won't be joining us because he won't risk losing Pepper like I lost Peggy…I was in ice for seventy years for crashing a plane full of bombs…and I lost my date with a girl I loved" Steve explained.
"Wow…sorry I asked Cap" Clint murmured and Steve shook his head. "Just forget it Clint…we got to work to do guys…forget Stark" he said and left.
Bruce cast a look down the hall and sighed. "Right behind you Cap…" he said quickly and followed the men.
An hour later Tony's phone rang. He saw it was Natasha and almost didn't answer. Common sense and a will to live quickly changed that.
"Get your ass out here Stark…" she hissed. "Didn't Capsicle relay my message Natasha? I am a little busy caring for my sick girlfriend"
"I am sure Pepper will be fine for a few minutes…Steve on the other hand may not" Natasha answered.
Tony sat up at that. "What happened?" he asked, his voice dripping with concern.
"A building a few blocks from your tower was on fire…it collapsed before Steve could get out…we think he may have a few small children with him" she said.
"Where are you guys?"
"Too far for one thing and we still are fighting these ugly mutant things that crawled from the sewers…your Caps only hope right now" she answered.
Before Tony could speak his phone was yanked. "He'll be right there Nat…if you are still in touch with Steve tell him Tony is coming soon" she said.
"Thanks Pepper…feel better and rest your voice you sound like a cat being strangled" she said.
"Always nice hearing your voice too Romanov" she said and hung up on the spy.
"Well thanks for being my voice Potts…oh wait you barely have one" he told her. She grimaced at him. "Just go Tony…the world needs Captain America more than it needs Virginia 'Pepper' Potts" she said.
"Don't say that Pep…you're my world…I'll be back as quick as I can I swear it" he said.
"Be careful" she said and Tony ran off for his Iron Man suit. "Well least Steve can't hate me now since I'm saving his ass" Tony muttered as he took off five minutes later out of his tower.
Short but hey I can't just let you have all the story now can I? Till next time hope you enjoyed. Reviews are always welcome of course thanks for reading.
