Tony was sitting on the roof of the school, with Pepper, for his free period. They were talking the usual; Pepper babbles on and on about something and Tony listens, with the eventual interruption to get his word in. What Tony still didn't know was that the black figure was watching him again. Tony sat with his back facing the figure, but Pepper could stare right at it if she had noticed it, which she has. She saw a shadow…..the shape of a human…..was someone watching them?

"Uhhh, Tony? I think there's someone watching us." Pepper said, nervously.

"What? What do you mean? Where?" Tony asked, confused.

"In back of you. I don't think we should draw attention to it though, Tony. It could hurt you, Tony! Let's just leave." Pepper said, scared.

"Pepper, it's okay. Come on, if you're too worried then we can go somewhere else." Tony said, reassuring her once more that everything was going to be okay.

"Thanks, Tony, it's just that I have a really uneasy feeling about that shadow. I saw it's red, angry eyes!" Pepper said as the two walked back into the school building. They came to the empty gym and sat in the bleachers.

"Is this any better?" Tony asked, grabbing his own seat.

"Yes, it is. Seriously Tony, I could have just saved both our lives without even knowing it. Well, obviously now I could be right, and now I do know, so I'd be wrong if I said 'without even knowing it' and all, so…" Pepper started to speak, but was interrupted by Tony.

"Why do you always talk so much?" Tony asked, but in a nice way.

"Why? Is it annoying or something?" Pepper asked.

"No, no. I've just never known someone who could talk as much as you." Tony responded smiling. Pepper admired the way that once again, Tony was sitting in the light-the light from the sun pouring in from the gigantic gym windows-and smiling his golden smile. He looked so perfect….

"Well, I guess it's because….no, never mind….it's dumb…" Pepper said, looking down.

"Nothing you say is dumb to me, Pepper, you know you can tell me." Tony reassured, his smile fading to worry.

"Really, you mean it?" Pepper asked, gaining a smile, causing Tony to nod and smile.

"Well, okay. It's because I get a little nervous around you, because you're all…..uhhh…..you, and you're sort of a celebrity, and you're already part of such big business and stuff, and then it makes it worse when you're standing in the light like you are now, because you seem so….so…..perfect….." Pepper said, blushing.

"You think I'm perfect?" Tony asked, blushing a little as well.

"Ummm……sort of….maybe……" Pepper said shyly, looking down.

"Oh, well, umm, thanks, I guess….uhh…well, you shouldn't be nervous about that. I'm still your friend." Tony said, changing the subject.

"See, Tony? See? I'm right, you're perfect, because you always make sure to be a good friend, you're my—umm, I mean, a hero, you're smart and you're gorgeous…." Pepper said, bringing the subject back, muttering the last part to herself so no one else could hear. The two both furiously blushed.

"Wait, what? What do you mean by my?" Tony asked, confused.

"Oh, I was about to say 'my' instead of 'a'…..i—uhhh…." Pepper explained, her voice quivering.

"Oh…..so you were going to say 'my hero' instead of 'a hero'….uhh, that's ok, you know, probably didn't mean it…." Tony said, disappointed for some reason that she didn't mean it.

"Well, the truth is, I kinda did mean it…." Pepper admitted, sheepishly.

"You did? I-I'm your…?" Tony said.

"W-well, yeah…" Pepper said, blushing intensely.

"Uh---oh, well you know, thanks….i—ummmm…"

"W-well, I also like to think of it as my kn—" Pepper was going to say, but was interrupted by the bell.

"Ahh, uhh, I, umm, yeah, the bell, see ya…" Tony and Pepper babbled, running off to their classes.
