Time for another chapter, thank you all for the feedback and for reading this story. Anyway, enjoy!
"Sir Nick Fury has requested that you meet him at the Triskelion." Jarvis said. Tony was sitting down in his shop working on his suits getting it ready for when he finally would be able to find Pepper.
"Thank you Jarvis." Tony immediately got up and finished the last part of tinkering. He was then wrapped in the red and gold metal of his suit.
Tony flew out from the under part of his mansion and headed for the triskelion. It would take him a while to get there but he was determined to get there with his suit, it would shave a few hours off and allow him to find Pepper faster.
He watched as the sun went down and as the giant building came into view he felt a sense of relief. "Jarvis lets Rhodey know where I am at in case he comes by the house, we need to keep him informed. Also, we need to keep Happy in the loop too."
"Of course sir I will alert them right away."
Tony landed and decided he should take his helmet off, but he wanted to be ready in case they found her. He could get there faster than anybody.
"Mister Stark, it is good to see you. We have some of our people on the grounds in every state on the watch for miss Potts and Hammers people." Fury said meeting Tony in the main lobby.
"Do you have anything so far?" Tony asked as they got in the elevator.
"We decided to look into any building that Hammer industries might have bought in the last year, we also have checked their personal bank statements to see if anything has shown up since miss Pott's kidnapping."
Nothing else needed to be said. As they approached the top floor Tony was greeted by Hawk and Romanoff who were suited up and ready to go.
"Clint, Natasha. How are we doing?" Tony asked trying to stay calm and not freak out.
"Well I mean we are fine. How are you? This can't be easy." Natasha said as they walked together to the main control room. A lot of the triskelion was rebuilt after the fallout of SHEILD.
There were multiple people watching security cameras in as many cities as they could fit on each screen. Tony plugged a thumb drive into the main computer to let Jarvis enter the system in order to assist with facial scanning to help keep an eye out for Hammer or Pepper.
"Okay people listen up, we need all eyes on anything. If you see anything that looks out of place on a bank statement we need to know, if there is anything over a 60 pecent match on the facial recognition we need to know. I have sent out agents from all over we even have a special team out there with enhanced people to help cover more ground." Fury said standing at the front with agent Hill.
"We will find her Tony. They are not the brightest of men and they will eventually slip up and we will find her." Natasha said putting a hand on Tony's shoulder. All he could think about was how would he find her. What would he have done to her by the time he got there?
Those type of thoughts wouldn't help find her at all, he had to stay positive for her. His thoughts were interrupted by one of the men announcing he had received a video message.
"Hey there Anthony, I am sure by now you are at the Triskelion using all of your recourses. I know a lot more than you would think. I was very upset with our last conversation so I thought I might give you a slight boost." Justin moved over to the far side of the screen revealing Pepper strapped to a table with wires connected to her. She was breathing quite heavily, and Tony could see there were tears rolling down her face.
They all watched as Justin moved back towards where all the wires led to. As Hammer pushed the button, they all watched as Pepper arched her back and squeezed her eyes shut. She was trying really hard to keep from crying out and Tony could see that. He was angry, with Justin, with himself.
He let go of the button and her body dropped and she gasped. "And this is only on low power. I can't convince miss Potts to talk to me so I might have to turn the dial up slightly and see what that would do."
Justin walked back in front of Pepper and put his hand out, the entire screen went black. Everyone stood there in silence unsure of what to say to that.
"Trace the source, I need all eyes on that. We can't looses this lead." Fury said walking past everyone and up to Tony.
Clint, Natasha, and Fury walked Tony into the conference room. Tony slammed his hands on the table and felt tears roll down his face. Never had he felt so useless, he felt exposed but trapped.
"Denting my table won't give you the answer Stark. What we need is a plan and a good one at that" Fury said standing in the doorway.
"I don't know. If we can't trace the source there is no way of knowing where they could be. He may not have even bought a building he could be using one that is vacant for all we know." Tony's eyes widened, he thought about what he had just said.
"Stark?" Clint asked, he knew Tony was realizing something. "I might have an idea." Stark said walking out of the conference room.
"I think that went well." Justin said walking away from the camera. "Now then Miss Potts, are you ready to cooperate? Just tell me what I want to know and this can stop."
"You think him or I will tell you? We won't" Pepper said.
Justin's eyes narrowed; she knew what that response would result in but if it kept people safe she didn't care. All at once she felt a shock through her body much more intense than before. Her head tilted back and she squinted her eye shut as tight as she could, this time she couldn't hold it in. She let out a slight grunted yell, that made Hammer smile.
"Come on Potts. This can all go away." Justin said letting go of the button. Pepper shook her head. Justin pushed the button again and Pepper felt it all over again.
She tried to get her mind to think of Tony, work, anything other than what was happening at this moment. She felt her body drop back down onto the metal table; she was breathing pretty heavily. Pepper hadn't realized that she held her breath every time.
"Maybe I am approaching this all wrong right now. Michael, drug her and then move her into the other room but keep the stickers on here we might just need to do this when she isn't at her strongest." Justin said unplugging the machine.
Pepper felt the needle go into her arm, she wasn't sure what it would do to her this time but she had to stay as strong as possible. She watched as Justin unhooked the wires and put them on top of the machine. As he walked out of the room pushing the machine she felt her mind jumble. She couldn't keep focused on a single thought.
"What? What is- what did you do?" She asked.
"We just jumbled your mind. Now when we try this Tony can see how strong you really can't be. It is the type of pressure he needs." Pepper didn't understand much of that, she couldn't focus all she could see was that she was moving. She felt dizzy and confused, Pepper Pott's couldn't focus on the task at hand.
"Okay let's set her back up, but this time sitting in this chair here." Justin had put a head rest on the chair so Pepper couldn't swing her head back.
"You can't- umm." Pepper couldn't figure out what to say, she didn't know where or who she was with. It all was too jumbled in her mind.
Justin had set up the monitor and suddenly Pepper could see lots of people on the screen. She had no idea who any of them were, but she yelled for Tony when he appeared on screen.
"Pepper!" Tony yelled for her. She looked around but everything spun around her. She had no idea what was going on or what would happen next all she could remember in that moment was pain. Nothing like she had ever felt before. She screamed out unable to control herself.
"Make it stop, I want it to stop." Pepper cried out, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, it was like her hard exterior was ripped away.
That is where I will stop it for now. I hope you enjoyed, it can only get better from here right? Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the story. Thank you for reading!
