"Tony…. Tony…" Tony looked around. And there she was. The girl of his dreams was in a medieval century white dress. Her red hair flowed over her shoulders and her hazel eyes gleamed gold. "Pepper…" He ran towards her and circled his arms around her waist. He picked her up and turned a 360 letting her scream in delight. She had her arms around his neck, and when he stopped spinning her, she looked down at him. Pepper grabbed his face, and just before their lips could touch, Pepper dissolved. Tony backed away startled by her disappearance.

"PEPPER?!" He screamed in distraught and fell to his knees. Suddenly the whole roomed dissolved and Tony woke up on the floor in tears. "Pepper…."

Tony was getting ready when someone knocked on h is door. To him, this luxuries place was just reminding him more that he had to get away from Justin. Then suddenly his mind filled with memories of yesterday's events. All he could remember was the pain, and of course his desperate feeling of seeing Pepper again. There was the knock again.

"Wait a minute." He wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom. He ran his hand through his hair and let the water drip onto his back. He opened the door only to smile. "Hello George."

"Hello Master Stark, and good morning." George had his butler suit on and a silver plate filled with stomach growling food. Tony moved away from the door and gestured for George to walk in. But he noticed something off about George. He leaned back and saw that he was limping.

"George? George, are you alright?" Tony closed the door and looked at him. George raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

"Tony, I am getting old. I…" He swallowed. "Enjoy your breakfast. Master Hammer wants you ready by 10 today." Tony froze in his place and he nodded. He did not want to meet George's eyes, it was the last thing he wanted to do. Instead, he forced a smile and gestured for George to leave.

"Thank you for the breakfast. And George, have a good day." George nodded and Tony shut the door. Sighing, he went back into the shower and finished up his shower. He didn't want to leave the warm sauna feeling water on his back.

He shut the water off, grabbed another clean scented white towel and stepped out. Tony took his regular red shirt, blue jeans, and red shoes outfit. Eyeing the breakfast, he walked towards it, grabbed a chocolate muffin and mixed a coffee together. He jumped up onto the bed and laid his head on the king size pillow, slowly digging his teeth into the chocolate muffin he thought of Pepper. He wanted her in his arms. He wanted to kiss her, hold Julie, do so many things but Justin grounded him.

Justin. That was the foulest words he has ever said. That guy was going to die. He would definitely make him pay for everything he has ever done. Another knock. Sighing in disappointment, Tony trashed his coffee and muffin and opened the door. His head was down, and all he was thinking was the murderous thoughts to make him happy. There was the quietest noise that Tony had to look up. Oh my god. Right in front of him stood the very thing he wanted to see.

"Rhodey? Is that really you?" He was in so much shock that his body shook. The stealth armor was right in front of him, the facemask opened to reveal his best friends face.

"Hey buddy. Let's get you home." Tony allowed himself to cry. He had to. After about 3 days being captive and undergoing, god knows what, experiments. Seeing Rhodey just burst the only bubble.

After calming down, he smiled. "So how do we get out?"

"What do you mean Tony? Just right out the… Oh right. Can't use the same route twice."

"Bingo. I know this place a little bit when I first came here to talk to Justin. Follow me." Tony led Rhodey down a series of hallways making sure to keep him in stealth mode. He glanced each door, hallway, staircase, about 10 times before proceeding on. Finally he found the perfect way out.

"A chimney? You want me to fly the both of us out in a chimney? Tony… you aren't serious are you? We cant…"

"Well… well… well…" Rhodey and Tony whipped around to face Justin. He was clapping, and his left arm had a black .45 pistol. Rhodey came into view and he covered one hand on Tony.

"Justin you better back off… or I swear to god…" An ear popping sound filled the room. Rhodey looked down at himself and then at a still faced stunned Tony. Rhodey overall was fine, except for the fact that he probably lost his hearing. But when he looked at Tony, the situation got worse.

Tony was eyeing his shirt. A perfect hole was made about 2 inches away from his bottom rib. Without a yelp or sigh, Tony fell to the ground unconscious.

"It was a gift. You can take him away for what I care. But let me tell you this, who ever you are. I will find Tony and his family and make his life miserable. That bullet wound also contained one of my experiments. And the only antidote is with me. You want the antidote then leave Tony here. If not…" Justin shrugged and tapped his temple with his gun. "You think about it. You got about 24 hours before it kills him." Rhodey was not going to let Tony stay here. He was going to get help, and it wasn't from Justin.

"I'll take my chances…" And with that, he blasted through the roof with Tony in his arms; he had to find Dr. Yinsen.

YAY! I was super excited. I haven't gotten any sleep this whole week. Stupid school and homework. But I made a goal to type up all my stories and update the next chapter in all of them! Oh and if any of y'all know how to adopt a story… please tell me! REVIEW!
