"Hey guys" Rhodey said quietly. The two waved to him. "What's the deal with Pepper?" Rhodey whispered to Tony. "I'll explain later" Tony said. They all opened their text books and started reading in their mind off it. After three hours of studying Pepper fell asleep on her book, Rhodey was barely awake still reading and Tony was passed out too. Rhodey looked at the time and started shaking Tony. "Dude wake up we should go" he said. Tony opened his eyes and sat up stretching his arms and yawning. "What time is it?" he asked. "Seven thirty" Rhodey said. Tony looked over at Pepper to see she was sleeping on her open book.
Tony got up and gently removed her head from the book and closed it. "I'll carry her home" he said. "Need help with her stuff?" Rhodey said. "Nah I got it thanks though" Tony said. "See you tomorrow" Rhodey said. "Later Rhodes" Tony said. Rhodey left the building to go home. Tony let out a sigh and put her books in her bag, he put his book bag on one shoulder and hers on the other and picked her up. He made it half way to his house until she woke up. "Tony?" she said. "Good morning" he said. "Its morning?!" she said. "No, no" he said chuckling. He set Pepper down on her feet. "Oh here let me get that" she said taking her book bag off him.
"Thank you" Pepper said. "No problem" he said. "This looks like the way to your house" Pepper said looking around. "Well I was gonna let you sleep over but I guess you don't have to anymore" he said. "Well that's too bad" she said. "You know regardless if you're asleep or not you're always welcome at my place" he said. "Then I might take up on that" she said smiling and holding his hand. " Alright then" he said chuckling. They were almost at Tony's house until they were stopped by a blonde coming out of an alley. "Oh hey Tony….hello Pepper" said the evil blonde. "What do you want Whitney" Pepper said. "I just wanted to ask if you knew about the new boutique I'm soon building" Whitney said.
"Never heard" Pepper said. "Well, it's going under construction at that maple park place their taking that park down" Whitney said. "I'm also the one cutting down that forest" she said. "Do you realize what you're doing?! Have you no feelings?" Pepper said building up her anger. "I know the real reason you don't want that park to go" Whitney said. "It's because you and you're mommy used to go there all the time" Whitney said taking out something from a bag she was carrying. "How did you know?" Pepper asked. "Oh please don't even ask I used to go there too and I would always see you guys there" Whitney said.
Whitney threw a box on the ground in front of them. Pepper looked down at it but didn't even dare to pick it up. "The remains of your dead mommy don't you want to see them?" Whitney said. Pepper clutched her fists. "I can't believe you dug that up" she said. "Well since that park was soon to be my store I wouldn't want some dead persons stuff under it" Whitney said. "How could you do that!" Pepper said crying. "Whitney you are one cold bastard" Tony said. "Oh whatever" Whitney said walking away. Tony picked the box up and opened it, he saw all the old memories of Pepper and her mother. "She was pretty" Tony said.
Pepper turned the other way because she couldn't look at those pictures. "I see where you got your looks from" Tony said still looking through the pictures. Tony closed and put the box in his book bag and set the bag down. He pulled Pepper into a hug. "We'll get that park back I promise" he said. Pepper slept over at Tonys house. The next day Pepper didn't have class so she spent her time devising a plan to stop those construction workers tomorrow. Pepper was in Tony's room writing and drawing things in a sketch pad and Tony was sitting on the floor next to his bed where Pepper laid on watching TV. Tony peeked at Pepper. "Whatcha writing" he said. Pepper didn't notice he was speaking to her, she was sucked into that sketch pad. "Pepperrrr" he said poking her. "Huh?" she said looking at him.
"I think you need a break from this" he said slowly slipping the sketchpad from her. Pepper clutched onto the pad. "No" she said. "Pepper I said I would help you" he said. "Any ideas?" she asked. Tony looked at her blankly. "Uhh" he said. "Exactly Tony!" she said. Tony grabbed the sketchpad away from Pepper. "H-Hey!" she said. Pepper reached for the book as Tony extended his arm away from her. "Give it!" she said. Pepper was on the edge of the bed at that point and slipped off landing on top of him. "Oof!" Tony said. Pepper still was going for the book. "Oh no, no you are so forgiven for hurting me" he said.
An idea shot Pepper. "I'm sorry Tony" she said smiling. She started kissing Tony which loosened him up to put his arm that had his hand holding the sketch pad around her. Pepper slowly slipped her arm on her back but Tony knew what she was doing so he pulled away. "Hehehe" he said. "Oh come on!" she said. "Thanks for the kiss sweet lips" he said. Pepper rolled her eyes as he laughed, she got off him and sat on the bed. Tony sat next to her. "Just take a break alright?" he said. "Fine" Pepper said. "I know how much it means to you and I promised I would help you" he said. Tony managed to keep Pepper away from the book the whole day.
The next day Tony woke up half an hour after Pepper, it was eight. He turned to see she wasn't there, he sat up and looked out the window.
Pepper was sitting in front of the park holding up a picket sign saying "LET THE PARK LIVE!" she had a green leaf painted on her face with a black outline on it, she wore a white shirt with a painted tree on it and green shorts. Construction workers arrived. "Hey girl get off Whitney Stane's property" said a man. "No" Pepper said holding up high her picket sign. "Get off Pepper!" Yelled Whitney who had come to see the construction happen. "No" Pepper said. Whitney knew she would try to do something so she brought some friends. They started throwing things at her. "You don't know who you're dealing with" Pepper said standing up.
Pepper also wore her purple and silver back pack armor, she clicked the chest button and it engulfed her body. "Listen I'm only gonna say this once why don't you go destroy some other park" she said. "Don't think I wasn't ready for that" Whitney said. Suddenly a huge armor walked towards the park. It was the iron monger. Whitney did her evil laugh, O' Brian was the one piloting it. "I'm gonna have so much fun" he said. He shot guns and flares at her, Pepper shielded the whole park with her force field. "Ohh I love a challenge" he said. He shot one of his most powerful rockets at her and it annihilated her force field leaving her armor with many errors going on in her operating system and functions. "Warning mobile functions disabled" said the operating system. Pepper couldn't move she laid on the ground as the construction workers moved in but they were immediately stopped by a yellow and red armor landing right in front of Pepper.
"I don't think so" said Tony.
