Hey! I got to use my sister's laptop for this, 'cuz she got it taken away. :P Anyway, there's a big suprise in this chapter, I thought about right when I was going to sleep. So, it took me forever to go back to that sleepy state. Enjoy!


"Pepper? Pepper?! PEPPER?!" Tony yelled back into the phone. He couldn't believe it. She's kidnapped...

"Let's get to the BAU. Garcia might be able to track the phone number." Morgan said. He looked dead serious, like someone sucked out his life.

"Okay..." Tony said unsurely. He couldn't stand being helpless not if he couldn't save her.


Pepper struggled in the ropes that held her hands in place. Her arms had gone numb from poor circulation. She should have never gone into this case, then she would have never meet Tony, and she would have never fell for him. She struggled again, trying to free herself.

"Getting tired, Pepper?" A familiar voice said.

"Huh?" Pepper said looking towards the voice.

"Pepper Potts, 16 years of age, full-time student, attends the Tomorrow Academy, a secret BAU FBI agent. Also solved the Quintero case am I right?" The voice said.

"Who are you?" Pepper asked.

"Ghost." the voice said.

"Who gave you the hit?" Pepper asked.

"I did." another voice said. Pepper craned her neck to see the person.

"Director...?!"


"Got anything Garcia?" Morgan asked.

"It was Pepper phone..." Garcia asked.

"No way that's impossible, Pepper's phone was crushed." Tony said.

"They just could get a new phone and use the same number." Garcia said.

"But wouldn't we be able to trace it?" Emily asked.

"Exactly, but I can't, whoever has her knows the system." Garcia said.

"We have 48 hours at best to save her." Hotch said.

"Huh?" Tony said.

"This is a normal kidnapping, most kidnappers kill the people they take in first 24 or 48 hours. In this type of kidnapping the person most likely wants something from us. He won't kill her if he doesn't need to, it's a last resort." Reid said.

"Okay." Tony said.

"So there might be a ransom?" JJ asked.

"Yes. We might just have to wait." Reid said. Tony ran his fingers through his hair. He was helpless. Until his phone vibrated...


"What the hell?!? Why?!?" Pepper yelled.

"The FBI is not so good to who they trust, are they?" the Director said.

"Why me?" Pepper asked.

"Why not?" the Director said sitting down.

"Traitor! You've seen those bastards that kill innocent people and your just like them!!" Pepper yelled at him.

"Hmm, I'm so hurt!" The Director said sarcastically.

"I actually thought you believed in me..." Pepper whispered.

"Aaww, but I do. I want to take you on as my apprentice." the Director said.

"What? No way." Pepper said.

"Fine. Ah, just as I suspected there all in the BAU..." The Director said.

"What?" Pepper said.

"Derek Morgan, Penelope Garcia, Jenifer Jerau, Dr. Spencer Reid, Aaron Hotchner, David Rossi, and Tony Stark..." The Director had a image of them, there were in the BAU.

"What are doing?" Pepper asked.

"Ghost? Is the bomb ready?" The Director asked.

"Yes, sir." The Ghost said.

"Get ready to blow things up." The Director said.

"What? Blow things up? Please don't tell me that your gonna blow up the BAU!!" Pepper yelled.

"You know you can stop it. Just accept."


Tony took out his phone, it was a text.

It read:

If you want to see your little agent again, have Tony Stark come to the docks. With 500 million dollars. We'll give her back to you.

"Guys. I think I just got the ransom..." Tony said.

"What?" Rossi said.

"Let me see that." Reid said. Tony handed the phone. "That's strange..."

"What?" Morgan said.

"They hardly mention her,They don't talk about killing her, like there more interested about keeping her alive. Why?" Reid said.

"Your right. They never mention about killing her." Rossi said.

"So what we have is that this man would never kill her right?" Garcia asked nervously.

"Don't worry, Garcia we'll find her." Morgan said.

"I-I feel horrible." Garcia said.

"Why? What's wrong?" Morgan asked.

"We had an argument and I wished she would just disappear, I was angry..." Garcia burst into tears.

"People say stupid things when their angry, I know I do sometimes." Tony soothed.

"Thanks, little genius..." Garcia wiped her tears away.


"What happens if I accept?" Pepper asked.

"Oh you know...I teach you everything I know. How to kill without a trace, bombs, poison. Everything you need to know about terrorism." The Director said.

"Terriosm?" Pepper asked.

"Yes, exactly. Actually I already have an assignment for you." The Director smiled.

"What is it?" Pepper asked.

"Top secret. NNTK." The director said.

"NNTK? What the hell?" Pepper said.

"Like it? I made it up." The Director.

"Whatever. Why chose me of all people?" Pepper asked.

"Minds are easier to mold when their young. And your already a great profiler, a natural one. I put you in the BAU with one of the best profiler teams, now here you are one of the best young profilers out there." The Director said.

"I won't accept until you tell me the assignment." Pepper said.

"Oh? Well, I can't tell that to an outsider." The Director said.


Rhodey walked into the lab, worried. Both Tony and Pepper hadn't called or shown around school, anywhere. He sat down in a chair and sighed. He looked for them for like forever. He couldn't find at least one of them. He sighed again. His eyelids felt heavy, he was sleepy. He was falling asleep until his phone went off. He jumped up, and pulled it out. It was a video message.

He opened the video.

It had a man with white clothing. With the docks in the background. "Listen, to whoever is watching this. We have Pepper Potts. If you don't want her to get killed. Come to the docks, at midnight. No earlier or later. Better have the 500 million dollars." The video ended. He freaked and called Tony's cell.

"Tony!"

"Rhodey what's wrong?"

"I got a video message on my phone. Was Pepper kidnapped?"

"What?! What did you see?"

"A man with white clothing, and a white with red mask. He said that to come to the docks at midnight with 500 million dollars! What's going Tony?!"

"Pepper's been kidnapped, by the Ghost."

"What should I do?"

"Uhh...come to the BAU, with the Iron Man backpack."

"Okay. I'll be there in a about 5 minutes."

"Hurry!"

Rhodey grabbed the backpack, and ran out of the lab.


Pepper struggled again, she just couldn't believe that the director is a mole. Her arms started to go numb. She closed her eyes hoping that this was all a dream.

"Don't fall asleep on me Pepper!"

"Stupid..." Pepper said.

"Aww, is that a way to call your master?" The Director asked.

"Well, is the master is you, yes. Plus, I never said yes." Pepper said.

"You also never said no." The Director said.

"Your sick." Pepper said.

"Thank you." The Director said.

"Tell me the assignment and I'll join." Pepper said.

"No. You'll just be killed. You really think I'm gonna let you walk now that you know my idenity? No way." The director said.

"What truly happens if I say yes?" Pepper asked.

"In honesty, you'll never see your family, friends...Tony... What do say?" The director said. 'Never seeing Tony...'

"I..."


Whatcha think?? Having a traitor in the story? Pepper going to the dark side?? Hope you enjoyed!
