Six Months later Tony stark had proven to everyone he was Iron Man , He had just gotten back from Washington D.C. they were trying to get him to hand over the suites he owned but he refused . He was having a health issue at the same time which was palladium poisioning .
He was in his workshop check his blood level from the palladium . Pepper starts coming down & walking in mad '' Is this a joke ? what are you thinking ? '' He slowly gets up from his seat & moves '' hey you know what I'm thinking I'm busy & your angry about something , do you have the sniffles ? I don't wanna get sick '' . He continues walking & throwing his charts out of the way '' Did you just donate our art collection to the boys scouts of america ? '' he throws more stuff out of the way '' I didn't check the charts but yes it's my collection not our collection no offense ''
You know what I think Im allowed to say our collection considering the time that I put in over ten years creating it , you know there's only about eight thousand & eleven things i really need to talk to you about '' . He walks over to her & puts his hands on her shoulders '' I need you to wear a surgical mask until your better is that okay ? '' she looks at his still angrily '' thats rude '' .
He walks off again '' There's nothing more important to me than the expo thats my primary point '' he sees the picture of him in his suite '' The expo is your echo going crazy '' . he continues looking at the photo '' wow thats modern art I'm gonna put this up right now ''. He walks away to put it up & she is talking with fired anger '' Stark is incomplete disoray do you understand that ? '' He gets closer to wear he wants to hang up the picture '' No our stocks have never been hired , look if it's messy less change to a different topic '' .
She watches him hang up the photo '' Fine my point is we have awarded contracts to the windform people & the clastic plantation which was your idea by the way you won't make a decision '' he adjust the picture '' Everything was my idea I don't care about the liberal agenda anymore it's boring alert , you do it '' . He jumps down '' I do what ? '' she asked confused '' excellent idea i just figured this out , you run the company , your not listening to me im trying to make you CEO why won't you let me ? '' .
'' Have you been drinking ? '' she asked in shock , he just looks at her '' I here by appoint you chairman at CEO at stark industries admittly done deal okay '' . Later on they are on the plane back from Monaco , it's all over the news that a crazy manic russian guy was trying to kill him electrically . he mutes the tv '' he should be giving me a metal thats the truth '' He places the plate down on the table '' what is that ? '' he removes the top lead from it '' this is your flight meal '' .
She looks back & around '' Did you just make that ? '' he looks at her before leaning back '' yea where do you think I've been for three hours ? '' , She continues looking at him '' Tony , what are you not telling me ? '' . They have a moment of staring '' I don't wanna go home at all , lets cancell my birthday party & go to vice chiparony remeber thats a great place to be healthy '' . She continues looking at him '' I don't think this is the right time we are in kinda of a mess right now '' .
'' Maybe thats why it's the best time , as CEO you are untitled a leave a company retreat , you know just to charge your batteries & figure it all out '' . She looks at him '' Not everyone runs on batteries Tony '' .
Later on she shows up at his birthday party & he's drunk , she knows why he's acting out but has no clue that he has palladium poisioning . He is lauhging after wetting his suite '' wow does this guy know how to throw a party or what ? '' . Everyone in the audience is chearing '' I love you '' he says drunkly '' Unbelieveable thank you so much Tony for such a fanastic night & we are gonna say goodnight now & thank you all for coming '' . He is holding his beer bottle & trying to kiss her '' no you can't we didn't cut the cake we didn't blow out the candles '' . She is trying to be firm but calm with him '' you're out of control on this one it's time to go to bed trust me '' . He is trying to move in closer '' you're out of control too , come on give me a smooch ''
'' you just peed the suite , it's not sexy '' she says trying to back away from his embrace '' I know it has a filteration system you could drink that water '' . He is still trying to hit on her '' it's time to let everyone out just listen to them '' he looks at her " If you say so okay '' .
Later on he shows up at Hammer's presenation at the expo in New york City & is no longer drunk or sobber , he knows that he needs to get himself back on the job as being Iron man . He had just defeated Vanko, Justin Hammer was arrested for working & doing illegal things with him & the drones around him & Rhodey were about to blow he knew he had to get to Pepper in time before bad things happend to her . So he did he saved her on time & flew her to the roof .
'' Oh my god I can't take this anymore , my body literally can't handle the stress i never know if your gonna kil yourself our wreck the whole country or ... '' he looks at her across from him '' I think I did okay '' . She looks at him again breathing heavily '' I quit Im resigning thats it '' . He looks at her in shock '' what did you say your done ? surprising not so surprising I get it you don't have to make any excuses '' She walks in closer '' I'm not making any excuses im very justidfied '' He moves in closer '' Hey hey you deserve better '' he looks down & grabs her hand '' you've taken such good care of me , I've been in a tough spot & you got me through it so right '' . She looks at him '' than you for understanding '' . he turns away & looks back at her '' yea yea , lets talk clean up '' .
She is closer than ever '' I'll handle the transation '' he is looking at her '' okay what about the press you'll only have a job for the week '' . She looks at him '' well with you it's like dog years , it's like the presidency '' . He cuts her off he moves in & kisses her passionately he knows he is in love with her , he breaks off the kiss seconds later '' weird ? '' She looks at him '' no it's not weird '' He is still checking her out '' it's okay right run that by me again '' . Rhodey heard the whole thing & thought it was weird & his car got taken out in the explosion , he flys off & leaves them there .
he turns back to her '' How are you going to resign ? I don't expect '' She laughs & he grabs both of her hands they just look at each other knowing where this is going to go .
