Tony, he's alive, Pepper knew it, Pepper heard his voice.

"Reid! I think I just found him!" Pepper yelled towards the direction she came from.

"I'm coming!" Reid said.

"Tony!" Pepper yelled into the hole of the now broken building.

"Pepper! Don't go in there! Not alone!" Reid yelled.

"Alright, I'll wait here." Pepper said standing in the same spot. Before Reid could reach her, a red blur flew past her.

"What the-" The force was so strong that she fell backwards, causing some pieces from the broken building to fall, including some big ones, as she fell a big peice came and fell on her leg. Pepper screamed in pain. That peice felt really heavy, Pepper was stuck.

"HELP!" Pepper yelled. "REID! REID! REID!" No one came.

"HELP!" Pepper yelled again. Again no one came. Pepper tried to push the rock herself, she the failed.

"REID!" She tried again, but it wasn't Reid who showed up.

"Ghost..." Pepper whispered, she was goner, he was going to kill her for betrayal.

"Pepper, are you ok?" Pepper looked up, eyes wide.

"No. I have a gaint rock on my leg." Pepper responded. The ghost then lifted the rock, and picked her up on his back.

"You're gonna be safe now..."

Tony heard her, calling for help, so he flew back but the time he reached her she was gone.

"Rhodey?" He called heading back to the lab.

"Is Pepper okay?" He answered.

"I don't know..."

"How can you not know?"

"I heard her calling for help, but when I went back, she was gone!"

"Tony! Hurry, I think the agents are coming back, hurry!"

Tony went towards the FBI building. Thoughts rushing through his head. Pepper this, and Pepper that. He couldn't get that image out if his head, the man with the scar. Did they catch him? Is he still in the building? Did he get away? Does he still have Pepper? Is he gonna kill her like he said he would? He landed on the rooftop. Put away his armor in a special case he made earlier that week. He opened the door, ran down the steps, soon he could see Rhodey.

"Rhodey!" He yelled.

"Tony! Are you okay?" Rhodey yelled.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Pepper? Have you heard from her?"

"No. What happened?" Rhodey asked

"I told you already!" Tony yelled

"Well? I'm worried!" Rhodey yelled back.

"So, am I!" Tony retorted back angrily. There they were having a loud arguement right in the middle of the FBI headquarters.

"Tony!" He turned around to see his father there standing in the enterance of the building. He felt like he should run into his arms and cry like he did when he was 5 broke a protoype.

"What happened?" He said as he approached Tony and Rhodey. So, Tony told his father the whole story, from Pepper getting kidnapped, to Rhodey and him arguing in the middle of the office. Of course not directly telling him that he was Iron Man, but did tell him that he punched the guy couple times.

"Hmm, so where is she now?" Howard asked.

"That's what we were arguing about..." Rhodey said.

"Ah. Where is her father?" Howard asked.

"He's on mission, somewhere in Florida or something" Tony replied.

"Okay. Do you know if he's aware of this?" Howard asked.

"No." Rhodey answered.

"Why?" Howard asked.

"Dad, we dont know all the details so we can't tell you everything." Tony said.

"Okay, wheres this team you talking about?" Howard asked.

"That we don't know." Tony said.

"They may still be looking for Tony." Rhodey said, Tony elbowed him.

"What?" Howard said.

"I kinda diappeared when I got into a fight, and they might be looking for me." Tony mumbled.

"What? How could you be so foolish?" Howard yelled.

"Sorry, I'll just give Morgan a call." Tony said.

"You are in so much trouble!" Howard told Tony. Tony called Morgan.

Ring Ring

"Morgan?"

"Tony? Where are you?"

"I'm with Rhodey, at the FBI headqauters."

"How did you get there?"

"Long story, do you know where Pepper is?"

"We're looking for her, I'll call you when we have something"

"Like what? A corpse?"

"What do you know Tony?"

"Nothing!"

Tony hung up, and slammed the phone down on the desk.

"Tony. Is everything okay?" Rhodey asked.

"NO!" Tony yelled.

"Tony, I know your hurt, but that doesn't mean you have to yell at everyone trying to help." Howard said. Tony ignored his father, and went up the stairs heading towards the roof. He got the case, and put on his armor.

Pepper sat there on a rooftop. Wondering about Tony, what he was doing. If he was looking for her, thinking, what was he doing.

"Ghost, why are you helping me?" Pepper asked.

"Because, I didn't want another kid die." Ghost said.

"Why don't you take me to the team?" Pepper said.

"Because, knowing what I am, I don't know whats gonna happen to me if I'm close to those people." Ghost answered.

"But I am one of those people, I'm not doing anything!" Pepper told him.

"That's true, but thats because I saved your life, but rememer I shot your father." Ghost replied.

"I know, but I know you won't hurt me know. Will you?" Pepper said.

"No, I don't kill kids." Ghost said.

"Trust me, please take me back to the team!" Pepper begged.

"No! You've been where I've been! It's hard to get out." Ghost said.

"This is just another slow way of killing me!" Pepper exlaimed.

"I'm not!" Ghost retorted back.

"You said you don't kill kids, what about Tony? What about me?" Pepper said, angrily.

"That's a job, I need the money." Ghost said.

"So, how is this any different?" Pepper yelled.

"Shut up!" Ghost said.

"Wait,please help me!" Pepper was almost at the verge of tears, she needed help. Bad. Then, the same red and yellow blur flew past.

"Iron Man..." Ghost said. "I heard a lot about you..."

"Hello, Ghost. I've heard a lot about you too..."
