Pepper POV
I stared at myself in the full length mirror in my room. I was wearing a cream colored wedding dress because Will said it looked better on me than white. When we announced we were getting married, my parents were overjoyed. They were planning on having the wedding next week. But something told me different. So I suggested we have it the following day. Better get it over with. Everyone loved that idea. So here I was that next morning in some wedding dress marrying a guy, I didn't love. Running my fingers through my hair I glanced at the laptop laying on my bed.
"Pepper, are you ready?" Will asked through the door. He didn't believe in traditions like not seeing the bride before the wedding. So we would arrived at the church at the same time.
"Yeah just a sec!" I called grabbing the laptop and going to Vanity Fair homepage. I needed to see those pictures one last time to verify I was doing the right thing. I pulled up one of Tony and Christine at a movie premiere. Tony had his head sideways to the camera to kiss her cheek. My eyes instinctively drifted to the little scar behind his ear that he got in Afghanistan. Wait a minute…
No scar.
I narrowed my eyes and zoomed in on the picture. Sure enough, no scar. I flipped to the next picture of him and Christine laying on beach chairs. Tony was wearing a thin cotton T-shirt, and no arc-reactor was visible underneath. The next photo was him in the water, the same shirt was soaking wet and clung to his chest, still no arc-reactor. If Tony didn't have his arc-reactor, or his scar, that means these pictures were taken BEFORE Afghanistan. Which means Tony wasn't in New York, which means he was trapped somewhere. And it was all my fault.
"Will!" I hollered. He opened the door. "Yeah babe?" I motioned for him to look at the pictures.
"When were these taken?" I asked gesturing to the screen.
"Monday. Why?" He asked. I pointed to the one with Tony kissing Christine. "He has a scar behind his ear. Why is it not in this picture?" I asked.
"No idea. Maybe he put makeup on it. Why does it matter?" I flipped to the one on the beach.
"Where is his arc-reactor?" I said pointing to his chest. A slightly panicked look crossed Will's face.
"I don't know, babe this doesn't matter-" He whined leaning forward to grab the laptop. I snatched it away as I spun to face him.
"These pictures were taken before Afghanistan. You lied to me. Now I'm done. Where is Tony?" I snarled. Will narrowed his eyes at me angrily.
"You will never find him. And you have to marry me or I will KILL him." He spat. My heart throbbed in my chest. Tears welled up in my eyes.
"I will never love you." Will frowned and grabbed my arm, causing me to drop the laptop, and dragged me out of the room. He lead me all the way to the car and opened the passenger door. I climbed in next to my father.
"Will aren't you coming?" My father called as Will stormed back to the house.
"No, I'll meet you there. I've have some things to take care of first." Will snarled marching into the house. I had a horrible feeling that I knew what he meant.
Tony POV
I leaned against the wall of my cell tapping my fingers on my legs when Justin Horror ran downstairs with a shot gun in his hand. I raised my eyebrows as he gripped to bars and hissed through gridded teeth.
"She thinks you still love her, ha! Lets see how you love her when your DEAD!" Hammer said aiming the gun at my chest.
"Hammer wait-" but the gunshot drowned out my last words.
When we arrived at the church I was told to wait in the dressing room. Fat chance I thought as I ran through the old church looking for a phone. I suspected Will had tripped up my phone so that whoever I called it went straight to their voicemail. So scurrying through the church was my next best option. A pay phone greeted me at the end of the hall but he vending machines. Slipping in the few coins I had, I punched in a number I prayed would work.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end said. I quickly thanked god before starting.
"Rhodey! It's Pepper! Listen fast, Tony has been kidnapped by my ex boyfriend. You need to find him, I think he is at my parents house JARVIS will have the address. Then you need to come to the church and stop me from getting married!" I heard footsteps coming down the hall toward me.
"-and I put the rest of the files in the filing cabinet. Okay bye." I hung up the phone to face my mom.
"Sweetie, who were you talking to?" My mother asked.
"Oh just someone from work. I realized I didn't turn in these files to this one corporate manager. Ugh! Nightmare!" I lied. She smiled nervously.
"Why didn't use just use your cell phone?"
"The darn thing broke!" I said, then looked accusingly at my mother. "Funny how things stand by you for so long then they just suddenly betray you?" Her mom bit her lip nervously. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a wedding to get to." I said brushing past my mother.
Review please :)
