AN: Okay, four chapters left, and this one and the last one are VERY short. I am planning on a sequel, if anyone is interested (scratch that, I'm going to do it anyway. I put too much effort into this series already.) This is more for my personal amusement than anything else.
The agents entered the dark room, guns drawn, with Pepper close behind. The strange noises they heard did nothing for her nerves. They walked through the dark room. They found Tony's Mark 1 armor. "Looks like you were right," Agent Coulson said. "He was building a suit." "I thought it'd be bigger," Pepper confessed.
Hearing a creaking noise, Pepper turned around and walked away from the suit. She saw the electrical wires hanging, sparking in the air. The other agents spread out, guns drawn. Pepper's phone buzzed. She pulled it out. It was Rhodey. "Hello?" she asked. "Tony's fine, he's on the way, he doesn't think you can take him. But bad news: he's got Biela." "What?" Pepper said, trying very hard not to yell. "He's got Biela, and it turns out that she's Tony's biological daughter." "Okay, gotta go," Pepper said, noticing the look Agent Coulson was giving her.
She put her phone away and moved over to Coulson. "Obadiah has a hostage," she said. "A hostage?" Coulson asked. "A ten year old girl," Pepper replied. "She's a friend of Tony's, he's been trying to help her find her family." Coulson nodded and said something through his earpiece to the other agents.
The sound of chains clinking caught Pepper's attention. She walked over and tilted her head curiously. Suddenly, two lights…eyes…appeared and rose up. Pepper screamed and began to run. Obadiah's suit was a lot bigger than Tony's was, and merely smashed the agents away. Pepper continued running, until she was through a door that Obadiah couldn't immediately run through.
Tony soared over the skies of LA, headed for Stark Industries. He asked Jarvis, "How do you think the Mark I chest piece is going to hold up?" "Sir, we're at forty percent power and falling, that chest piece was never designed for extended flight." "Keep me posted," Tony said. He called Pepper. "Pepper!" he called. "Tony! Tony, are you okay?" his PA demanded.
"I'm fine, where's Bee?" "We never found her, I made it out but there's still a whole bunch of agents inside. Obadiah…he's gone insane!" "I know. You'd better get out of there, get out of there right now!" The line went dead. Tony urged the suit faster, determined to get to Pepper and Biela.
