Pepper hit the flashlight against her palm one more time making the light flicker on and she lets out a terrified scream. She drops the flashlight and everything turns black.

Tony and Rhodey's heads snap up when they heard Pepper's scream. Tony ran in her direction hoping and praying that she was alive, he rounded the corner to see something that was not of this world picking up Pepper carefully. "Pepper!" he shouted and the alien hissed at him slowly backing away from him, Tony carefully moved forward and the alien growled making him take a step back. The alien held Pepper tightly, turned and ran full speed down the corridor. "PEPPER!" Tony shouted and ran after them. Rhodey just stood there with his mouth hanging open; he shook off his uneasy feeling and ran after his best friends. What he didn't see was the growling blood-thirsty monster behind him.

The ship was like a maze, Tony tried his best to keep up with the alien that took Pepper but he was gone. He looked around as he caught his breath, a growling made Tony stiffen and straighten. He turned to see a creature that looked just like the one who took Pepper. The creature growled and grabbed Tony's arm making his gun fall to the ground, it felt like electricity was coursing through him and Tony sagged to the floor.

Pepper gasped and opened her eyes and sat up. The room she was in was completely white, Pepper looked around and saw nothing the room just kept going on and on and on. She got up slowly and fell to her knees from dizziness, "Where am I?" she asked and her voice echoed and she could actually see her voice. "You're unconscious…in slight dream state." A voice said and the redhead whipped around to see an alien who was female. "Why am I here?" Pepper asked trying to stand again, the alien woman smiled then frowned. "You're captured by my people…or what is left of them. They crashed here on your planet with a disease they found in deep space. I am the only one left with…Uhhh what do you humans call it? Humanity? A conscience….I want to cure the disease and leave this place in peace. My people wish to use this planet as their new home. They wish to experiment on you and your…friend." She said and Pepper was silent for a moment. "Wait what friend?" she asked, the alien woman smiled and there was a surprised shout. Pepper turned to see Tony running towards her, "Tony!" Pepper said and met him halfway. Tony pulled her close and kissed her cheek, forehead and lips before hugging her. "What happened? Where are we?" Tony asked and Pepper sighed and explained.

"So we're being experimented on right now?!" Tony asked his eyes wide and the alien woman shook her head. "No…you both are just being prepped. Right now you both are in a deep sleep; I am going to give you both something to stop my people from destroying your world. I don't believe they are doing it themselves…the disease it's like it has a mind of its own." She said sighing. Tony and Pepper looked at each other confused; the alien woman smiled at them sadly and quickly placed a hand on Pepper and Tony's foreheads. Pepper's world span and she crashed to ground and Tony fell beside her. "Use your gifts wisely…use them to save us all." Said a distant voice and the world went black yet again.

Tony's eyes snap open and he found himself suspended in water. Trying and not to panic he closed his eyes enough to see but make it look like he hasn't woken up yet, he shifted his head to the side and saw aliens walking around chatting in a different language and looking at a form of computer. Then a thought came to him and he slowly glanced down thinking to himself. Please be wearing pants...please be wearing pants... he saw himself in his regular jeans and sighed in relief thinking Oh thank god.
Tony moved quickly and kicked out the glass that held him in the tank, liquid rushed out and he spat out the thing that helped him breathe. The aliens were shocked and then roared outraged, he ran over to Pepper's tank and smashed it with a hunk of mettle.

The aliens lunged towards him and Tony turned and hit one of them in the chest. The alien shot backwards into a wall, eyes wide Tony turned back to Pepper pulling her out of the tank. Another alien ran towards them and Pepper shouted, her eyes burned like fire and the alien fell to his knees. His mouth was open in a silent scream, Pepper waved her hand and he shot backwards.

Tony's eyes widened further, the room shuddered when the alien made impact on the wall. Tony grabbed Pepper around the waist and closed his eyes as the ceiling fell. When nothing happened both of them looked up, they were outside of the ship. "How?" Pepper asked and shook her head, "never mind….where's Rhodey?" she asked and Tony looked around. "RHODEY!" he called and Pepper smacked him in the arm, "Don't yell!" she hissed and someone shouted. Pepper and Tony turned around to see Rhodey running towards them with a confused look on his face.

"Where did you guys go?" he asked with worry. Tony and Pepper looked at each other "we'll explain later." Pepper said taking Tony's hand; Rhodey raised an eyebrow and shrugged. A loud screaming roar filled the air and the ground shook making them fall to the ground. A whistling made Tony look up, "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" he shouted grabbing Pepper and Rhodey by the arm. He pulled them right off the ground and made them run down the street quickly. A loud crash boomed behind them, Pepper turned and she paled. The head of the Statue of Liberty sat in a crater in the street, it was on fire and another roar broke through the air.

(A/N how was that? Please review!)
