Seconds felt like minutes. Minutes felt like hours. Hours felt like years sitting outside the Stark International health suit. The occasional yell or nose gave it away something was going on, that is if you don't count nearly every hero known to man siting outside giving it away. Hours, hours upon hours of nothing, not even someone walking out of the room. Just people, staring, hoping, waiting. The hurt or injured just put on a band aid, just ignored their problems, just waited. The hours turned into a day, then the hours kept on rolling. If someone dared to speak to was to ask if anyone wanted anything, shaking of heads would reply. Rick Jones however would always, after every two hours of suspence, walk down the road to Starbucks and bring them all one back.
"Pepper, you have to at least drink something, or better yet eat something." Rick said thrusting a frappicino towards her,
"I'm not hungry."
"Killing yourself won't help anyone."
"Neither will eating." She replied. Steve glared at Rick to continue pushing at her. Rick sighed and mouth 'you suck' to Steve who mouthed a cocky 'I know' back.
"Pepper, come on please just have something, please?" He smiled waving the frappicino at her again, she sighed and took in from him,
"Thanks, Rick." She smiled. Rick sat back down beside Steve,
"Good job." Steve whispered to him,
"Next time, you do it." Rick replied,
"Hey you got the easy one, at least she isn't carrying weapons like Tasha and Jan."
"Oh no," Rick pointed to her pink skull bag, "42 caliber, and theres a dagger inside the hem of her shirt."
"Wow," Steve sighed, "She's good."
"They got away, but thats fine, they'll be fussing over Stark, now. Now is when we make our move." Hammer schemed,
"Boy," Doom belowed, "What exactly are we starting?"
"Your plan from the beginning, Lord Doom." Hammer smiled back, "We are taking over New York city and those heroes will lay crushed at our feet."
"How...How are we going to do that?" Sabertooth asked, "We lost our insider." He nodded towards Deadpool who laughed awkwardly,
"You forget we have Doom, pairing my research with his power we have successfully tracked each heroes biggest villains." Hammer laughed triumphantly as a door opened behind him. "Meet Venom, Dr Octavious, The impossible Man, Ronan the Accuser, King Pin, Rhino, Entrantress, Carnage, Green Goblin, Juggernaut, Red Skull, Baron Zemo, Blob, Count Nefaria, The Maggia, The Mandarin, The Tong, Killer Shrike, Unicorn, Mr Sinister, Sandman, Blizzard, Ultimo and Grim Reaper." The villains all stepped out,
"Wow," Deadpool exclaimed, "24 of the worlds nastiest villains."
"That's right, Those fools don't stand a chance!" MODOK laughed.
Dr Doom, Justin Hammer, Deadpool, Sabertooth, MODOK, The Controller join forces with Venom, Dr Octavious, The impossible Man, Ronan the Accuser, King Pin, Rhino, Entrantress, Carnage, Green Goblin, Juggernaut, Red Skull, Baron Zemo, Blob, Count Nefaria, The Maggia, The Mandarin, The Tong, Killer Shrike, Unicorn, Mr Sinister, Sandman, Blizzard, Ultimo and Grim Reaper. Creating their new super-group, VAIN 30.
The heroes remained waiting, waiting until someone said what was on everyones minds,
"Were down, they'll hit now if they'll hit ever." Logan sighed. Others made sounds of agreement,
"Well," Janet said, "Look at us. We have the most powerful heroes in the world here. I mean who don't we have?"
"Miss Marvel." Spiderman said,
"Mockingbird." Hawkeye stated,
"Scarlet Witch..."Logan listed,
"It was rhetorical!" Janet snapped. "Come on, we can take them if we become on big team again."
"Jan, that ended badly last time." Logan said,
"No it didn't, Deadpool pushed you to go, the X-Men would quite possibly follow you into a volcano." Janet replied,
"We probably would." Ark Angel laughed,
"See? Rogue saw you could go off, she felt weird so she went off and the rest was following your friends." Janet stood up, "Listen to me, stop rolling your eyes! Spiderman, Spiderwoman, The Incredible Hulk, Rick Jones, Mr Fantastic, The Invisible woman, The Thing, The Human Torch, Wolverine, Hawkeye, Thor, Captain America, The Black Panther, Black Widow, Ant Man..."
"Wasp." Hank smiled,
"Electra, Daredevil, Ark Angel, Professor Xavier, She Hulk, Ice Man, Rogue, War Machine, Iron Man, Storm, Rescue..if someone will put that armour on again..."
"How did you find out about that?" Pepper snapped,
"Reports came in over a year ago about Iron Man with a slightly feminine armour shape. Tony told me he has an altered armour waiting for you. Rescue, because thats what you do best." Janet smiled, "Besides even without an armour you know your way around a gun and a knife."
"Thanks Jan. So what is that...27 people?" Pepper asked,
"Thats it." Steve nodded, "But they are probably getting recruits as we speak."
"I want to help." A voice said from the landing. Pepper looked down the hall and sighed at the person,
"Whitney, go away."
"Hello to you to." Whitney snarled, "Madame Masque could really help you guys..."
"No, how do we know your not spying on us to your Dad." Pepper growled standing up,
"If I was he would be here with security, considering none of you...including Tony...should be here." Whitney replied walking up to her. Pepper put her hands on her hips,
"Madame Masque is a crimal, I bet one wave of money and you'll jump ship."
"I don't back out when things get rough, unlike some people."
"Whats that meant to mean?"
"Nothing, nothing at all. You just can't make a decision...ever."
"You know what Whitney, I could have you hanging off the wall by your hair whilst i shove a bullet down your throat but I'm DECIDING not to."
"Oh look how well Tony has his pet trained." Whitney mocked. Rick's eyes widened and he quickly grabbed Pepper's arms.
"Rick let me go!" She barked,
"Aw, has Pepper the pet got a Little pet of her own. That's adorable."
"See? I don't care." Rick whispered into Pepper's ear,
"My, isn't he good? I bet Tony has you all trained to do whatever he tells you." She said directly to Rick,
"Nope, I can't stand the guy." He smiled,
"I'm surprised you don't leave then, unless the only reason your staying is to get into her pants." Whitney sneered, trying to push buttons,
"Whoah, Out of line." Rick growled, "Don't talk about her like that."
"Oh so that's why you don't like Tony, he has Pepper and you don't. Don't worry, the little goldigger will probably move on to you once Tony's dead." Pepper went red and Rick happily let go of her arms,
"Ok, get her," He smiled,
"YOU BITCH!" Pepper screamed and launched at Whitney who laughed at her,
"That all you got?" Pepper pulled out the knife from her hem, Whitney pulled one out from her heel,
"Predictable." Pepper spat,
"At least I can use one." She lunged at Pepper who swooped back out of the way and stabbed her leg. Whitney gasped in pain then jabbed her knife into Pepper's arm,
"Not bad." Pepper compilmented, "But can you do this." Pepper back flipped over Whitney, crouched behind her and knocker her down by the back of her knees meeting Pepper's foot. She stood on her chest and kept the knife above Whitney's neck,
"Not too bad yourself." Whitney replied, "But top this." Whitney wrapped her knee around the leg that wasn't on her chest and pulled Pepper down with an 'ommph!' Then she stood on her back and pulled up her arms, "Done now, Potts?"
"Just getting started, Stane."
"Aren't we going to stop them!" Janet panicked, Natasha pushed her back,
"No, no. This is getting good." She smiled as Pepper rammed Whitney's head into a wall then Whitney put Pepper's through glass,
"Am I the only one finding this extremely attractive?" Rick asked,
"No, you're not." Bobby smiled, "It is extremely hot seeing to not bad looking girls beat the crap out of each other."
"You guys are freaks!" Rhodey smiled to keep up his cover for the girls, "I'm recordring the whole thing." Rhodey whispered to Rick.
"Rich stuck up bitch!"
"Goldigger whore!"
"Oh tough talk from someone who almost killed herself, with a mask!"
"Oh yeah well who is always playing damsel in distress? Tony help me I'm so pathetic!"
"You leave him out of this!"
"Why because you know its your fault he's doing to die?"
"He isn't!"
"Face it Potts he probably is-argh!" Whitney went crashing through a door...a very thick wooden door,
"Wow, that was a good throw." Natasha smiled,
"WHY ARE YOU ENCOURAGING THIS! Janet yelled,
"At least she isn't moping." Hank shrugged,
"Jan, I shall help thee break them up." Thor stated,
"Thank you." She smiled.
"You just jealous he choose me!"
"Settled for you Potts!" Chair to Pepper's chest,
"Better than a blonde bimbo." Table thrown at Whitney,
"Well I'm better then a ginger with an anger problem." Table leg to face,
"I'm red not ginger!" Chair to head,
"You deny that but not the anger thing? you need anger management!"
"I do not! I manage to get angry without management!"
"Oh funny!"
"Like your nose job." Pepper spat with a smile. Whitney gasped and held her nose.
"You know what else is funny? Your knock off converse." Pepper gasped and looked at her shoes. They glared at each other and went to charge when Thor grabbed Pepper and Janet grabbed Whitney,
"Knock it off! Both of you!" Janet growled.
"Jan! Why'd you do that!" Rick sighed,
"It was getting good!" Bobby moaned,
"I was not a part of this." Rhodey said backing off.
"Oh my gosh, It's working, what ever your doing Howard keep doing it!" A doctor gasped, Tony was coming around.
"He isn't rejecting the replacement, he-he-he's coming back!" Howard smiled.
"What was that all about!" Janet yelled at the two girls, sitting in the waiting area with ice packs on them. All 25 other heroes stood behind Janet, "Well?"
"She has always had it out for me..." Pepper started,
"She think she is so cool because Tony is going out..." Whitney started at the same time,
"So little miss jealous..."
"And she thinks she's better..."
"The little lying son of a..."
"Evil twisted piece of..." The girls turned to each other,
"Your wrapped up in your little bubble of me me me..."Pepper sniped,
"When your really an idiot who got lucky..." Whitney continued,
"Thinks the world revolves around..."
"Your ass any day of the week sunshine, and you know..."
"That the world would..."
"a better frickin place..."
"IF YOU WERN'T IN IT!" They yelled in unison.
"Why did I ask?" Janet sighed and the girls were at it again. Then Whitney pushed Pepper's should who pushed back. She grabbed he short red hair, she grabbed her long blond hair. Within minutes they were on the floor, pulling hair, scratching eyes, punching, kicking, screaming...
"What the hell is going on?" Someone yelled making every hero and the to fighting girls stop in their tracks at look to the person who yelled,
"Oh my gosh," Pepper went bright red, tears welled up in her eyes. "Tony, your OK!" She then turned to Whitney, "I told you he wouldn't die!"
"Aw, poor Rick! Looks like you'll bled the Stark fund drying then she'll come to you, Ricky!" Whitney mocked, receiving a punch to the face then the fight started again. Tony sighed and put his hand to his face,
"How long have they been at it this time?" He asked,
"A while." Rhodey replied. He noticed his friend wavering, "How about you sit down again...and I'll show you the video."
