(A/N Well Holy update batman! Warning Character has suicidal thoughts and actions. )

Tony yanked his hand out of hers and shook his head. "Where is she Nora?" he asked growling. Nora sighed "I would assume she's on her way home. I've hired someone you should know follow her for a few days and kill her." She said and smiled happily. Tony's heart thudded in his chest; he turned and ran off the roof toward his locker. "Tony…" Nora purred slowly following him, he quickly opened his locker and pulled out his backpack. "Tony…" Nora said whispering as she got closer. Tony pulled on the backpack and turned into Iron Man and was in the sky just as Nora rounded the corner. She looked up and smirked. "My man is Iron Man…" she said breathlessly.

Tony scanned the streets desperately until he spotted a redhead getting into a cab. "Pepper!" he shouted and followed her. Tony's eyes widened when he spotted the semi truck heading straight for the cab, "All power to jets!" he said and the computer complied. He flew toward her as fast as he could but it was too late, the semi hit the cab sending it flying through the air making it crash into a building. Tony landed a couple of feet from the car and started to run towards it, the car caught fire and he could see Pepper starting to wake up. "PEPPER!" he shouted and quickly put a shield around her and the driver.

The car exploded but Pepper and the driver were safe under Iron Man's shield. Police cars, fire trucks, and two ambulances screeched to a stop near him. "Put that fire out now!" one firefighter shouted directing his men toward the car. It took them thirty minutes before Tony could lower his shield and the paramedics could take Pepper and the driver to the hospital. "Good job Iron Man." An officer said patting Tony on the shoulder. "Where's the truck driver?" Tony asked curtly. The officer sighed "He fled the scene." He said heavily. Tony silently growled and took off without another word.

He landed in the ally next to the hospital and dearmored. Tony entered the hospital and went up to the front desk, "Hello…Patricia Potts room please?" he asked politely. The woman looked at him and typed something into her computer, Tony sighed as she scrolled through different names until she came to the right one. "Patricia E. Potts is in room 117." She said calmly. Tony quickly thanked the woman and jogged over to the elevator.

Tony walked out of the elevator and down the hallway looking for Pepper's room. When he reached room 117, Tony gently knocked on the door and peered his head into the room. Pepper sat in bed and didn't look away from her hands that sat in her lap, "Pep?" he asked quietly. The redhead ignored him and continued to look at her hands; Tony frowned and walked further into the room. He gasped when he saw that her wrists were bleeding. "PEPPER!" he yelps and quickly grabbed two towels from the bathroom and wrapped them tightly around her wrists. "Help! Can someone please help me?!" Tony screamed and nurses rushed into the room. They moved Tony away from her and quickly went to work on the bleeding redhead. Pepper just stared blankly ahead; tears slowly ran down her cheeks.

Ten minutes before Tony showed up:

The doctor was checking Pepper's vitals when the voices started. "You're nothing. You're worthless and you mean nothing to him. Tony doesn't care about you, nobody cares about you. Why are you still here? Why were you even born?! Do us all a favor and kill yourself." They said and a deep sadness took over Pepper like nothing she ever felt before. "Miss Potts? Are you alright?" her doctor asked gently. Pepper nodded and did her best to hold back her tears. "Is-is the driver alright?" she asked stuttering, the doctor suddenly looked sad. "I'm afraid he didn't make it. I'm sorry." He said and left the room.

"It's your fault he's dead. If you never got in that cab he would be alive and with his family right now. You only cause pain for other people. Do everyone a favor Pepper, kill yourself. Do it! DO IT NOW!" the voices screamed at her. Pepper sobbed and looked around herself, she spotted her IV needle. Pepper grabbed hold of the needle and pulled it out of her wrist. She took the sharp object and sliced it across both of her wrists leaving them to bleed. Pepper just stared at her bleeding wrists and didn't acknowledge the knock at her door or the fact that Tony was there trying to talk to her. "PEPPER!" she heard Tony shout, she then felt pressure on her wrists. 'No!' her thoughts screamed and tears slid down her cheeks. "Help! Can someone help me?!" Tony screamed and nurses flooded into the room, they started trying to fix Pepper's wrists. Her doctor walked in "I want her on a suicide watch!" he yelled.

Pepper slowly turned her head to see Tony sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. His head was in his hands. "He's upset you didn't die. You disappointed Tony yet again Pepper. Can't you do anything right?!" the voice asked and a loud sobbed racked through Pepper's body. Tony looked up at her with sad eye. A single tear slipped down his cheek. A nurse signaled him forward and Tony got up from his chair, he walked forward and gently took Pepper's hand. "You'll be alright Pep…you'll be ok." He whispered and gently stroked the redhead's cheek with his thumb.

The nurse on the other side of the bed gave Pepper a shot of Morphine. Pepper's vision became blurry and her eyes grew heaver and heaver. Tony's voice grew distant as he told her everything was going to be alright. 'Nothing's going to be alright as long as I'm alive. I'm only hurting people.' Pepper thought and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Tony took a shaky breath and placed a gentle kiss on Pepper's forehead. With shaky fingers he wiped away a few tears and pulled out his phone. He dialed Rhodey "Man…we have a problem." He said shaking.
