Chapter 2: Self rescuing Princess

The wolf growled. "I hate using this, but, it's either me or you!" Pepper said cocking the shotgun. The wolf ran and jumped to devour Pepper and all you could hear was the sound of a gunshot.

The wolf flew backwards because of the force of the shotgun it landed in a heap on the street. Tony could finally get to Pepper.

"Pepper are you ok?" Tony asked worried. Pepper just smiled proud of herself and said "Ya I'm all good." Rhodey just caught up with them "what did I miss?" he panted. Pepper and Tony laughed. "A lot." Said Pepper pointing at the wolf and put the shotgun back in the police car.

All of the sudden a building lit up like a screen. "Good job Miss Potts!" The dark man said excitedly. "Now I think for round two!" with a snap of his fingers Pepper collapsed on the ground and disappeared. "What did you do to her!?" shouted Tony angrily the man laughed and said "Ah don't worry your dear Pepper is merely taking a little nap! But there is a catch Anthony. You must find your dear Princesses Pepper before she sleeps forever!" he laughed some more. Tony was shaking in anger and fear that Pepper won't make it. "You have one hour." The man said and with that the street went dark again.

Tony and Rhodey turned to the city "Crap" both boys said together.

Meanwhile the dark man who called himself Grimm struggled with keeping Pepper asleep. The screens showed that Pepper was fighting the sleep. The crowd cheered her on. Grimm laughed "This one is strong! I might keep her as a pet after I kill her friends!" he said as his power failed to keep Pepper under.

"Ha! Take that you BASTARD!" Pepper yelled jumping off of the bed she was laying on. Pepper ran out of the room she was in and ran right to the stair door. It wouldn't open none of the exits would open! Pepper went back to her room and opened the window and looked down.

"Oh boy….that's a long way down." Pepper said worriedly. She began to think. Fairy tales I'm trapped high up…..rupunzel! Pepper quickly went to all of the rooms and grabbed the sheets off of all of the beds and she tied all of the ends tightly together and went to her window.

The sheets were a perfect rope Pepper smiled to herself. She climbed out the window and slowly slid down the sheets. Pepper could hear cheers from Time Square. Soon Pepper reached the ground with a little thud.

"Now I have to find Tony and Rhodey." Pepper said out loud to herself. Pepper walked off to find her friends hoping nothing happened to them. As Pepper walked down the street and called for Tony and Rhodey Pepper noticed something following her she whirled around to be facing the dark man that started it all.

"Hello Pepper." He said with a grin that creeped out Pepper to no end. "Hello you crazy son of a-"Pepper couldn't finish because Grimm slapped Pepper so hard she fell to the ground and hit her head on the sidewalk. "That was for resisting me." Grimm said angrily Pepper sat up looking at Grimm with loathing in her brown eyes.

"Pepper!" Tony called running over to the girl with Rhodey in tow. Grimm just laughed and disappeared. "Are you ok?" asked Tony helping Pepper off the ground. Pepper just nodded. "How did you get yourself out?" asked Rhodey confused.

"I fought the sleep that's why he hit me and I tied a whole bunch of sheets together and went out a window because all of the exits where locked." Pepper said wincing because her head hurt. Tony growled silently. Then he noticed the blood on Pepper's temple. "Pep your bleeding!" Tony said ripping the bottom of his shirt and dabbed at pepper's temple gently. Pepper's cheeks grew warm.

"Tony I'm fine!" Pepper said blushing Rhodey just rolled his eyes at his oblivious friends. All of the sudden the three teen were in Time Square again. The crowed was still there and still cheered them on.

"You are the first three to get passed my tests without dyeing! So I'm going to give you a gift! I'm going to put one of you behind one of my ropes!" Grimm said snapping his fingers. Rhodey was now behind the electric rope.

"Now Anthony the game is between you and me! The winner gets the beautiful Pepper and the loser dies." Grimm said Snapping his fingers again Pepper couldn't fight it this time. She fell to the ground and changed again she was wearing a pure white dress and a white flower crown on her head. She wasn't lying on the ground anymore but in a glass coffin with gold designs on the lid.

"Pepper!" Tony yelled running over to the coffin and looked inside Pepper was fast asleep holding one red rose on her chest. Tony spun around to see Grimm laughing. The crowd hushed waiting to see what happened next. "Kick his ass Tony!" someone from the crowd yelled all of the sudden. Everyone began to cheer Tony on and boo Grimm.

"So Anthony who can win over young Pepper's heart?" Grimm laughed and turned into a teenager blond messy hair with jeans and a black shirt. Tony was shaking in fury. Grimm just laughed at him. But Grimm didn't expect Tony to Punch him square in the face. Grimm spat out blood and lunged at Tony.

Meanwhile in Pepper's head:

Pepper felt weightless, like a ghost she could see what's going on. Grimm turned into a teenager asking who could win over her heart him or Tony. Tony of course! Pepper screamed in her head as loud as she could. Pepper knew she was asleep but the kind of sleep that was close to the death. Her spirit moved freely. She stepped out of the glass coffin and flouted/walked over to Tony and whispered in his ear.

Back with Tony:

Tony was back on his feet, him and Grimm were circling each other when Tony felt a warm breeze ruffle his hair and heard in his ear "I love you." This made Tony fight harder because he knew it was Pepper.

"How are you beating me?!" Yelled Grimm angrily as Tony grabbed his book. "Because I'm a lot better than you!" Tony yelled throwing the book at the electric rope. Grimm began to scream "You will pay for this Anthony Stark! Mark my words Pepper shall be mine!" and with that Grimm exploded into flame and disappeared.

Tony ran over to where Pepper was laying. "Pepper?!" Why isn't she awake! Screamed Tony in his thoughts. People began to crowd around Tony who pulled Pepper in his lap and was cradling her. All of the sudden there was a light. The crowd gasped. Three lights appeared in front of Tony and Pepper. Tony looked up in shock.

"Kiss her Tony! It's the only way!" Said a girl in a red hood. "Yes Tony you must kiss her." Said a woman with long blond hair who also smiled at him. "Tony you must do it now! Do it before it's too late!" Said the last woman with Black hair.

Tony took a breath and kissed Pepper. He put every ounce of love into the kiss. Pepper woke with a shock that Tony was kissing her. And then she heard everything; people were cheering. Tony soon pulled away happy to see that Pepper was awake. He pulled her into a hug.

But they heard the laugh of Grimm again. "I will be back Tony! I promise you that!" the voice echoed then disappeared. "Ha-ha So much for being a self rescuing princess." Pepper sighed and laughed. Tony laughed and said "Pepper when you told me you loved me you did save yourself. And I Love you too." And he pulled Pepper into another kiss.

And They Lived Happily Ever After…

Or Did they?

The Adventure isn't over yet!
