Tony paced up and down the living-room. Pepper had been gone for an hour now. He knew Pepper might just be taking longer to get round the shop but she rarely took this long. Something must of happened to her.
He needed something to do. Something that could take his mind off of Pepper for a while. After all she was probably fine. He just worried that something bad might of happened to her. The fear of her getting hurt had gotten when she almost fell to her death. He just didn't want to get so close to losing her again.
It was when Pepper almost fell to her death that the nightmares got worst as well. He mainly dreamed about Pepper being in danger whereas before he dreamed about being held captive and tortured in Afghanistan.
His mind had been torturing him for months now as well. He had though about telling Pepper on several occasion but he could never quite bring himself to it. He just hated the idea of worrying Pepper. He had only just managed to tell her about the sleepless nights. There was no change he could tell her about the nightmares.
As Tony carried on to pace up and down the room he decided that maybe trying to build something would held. Maybe he could build a special gift for Pepper? That wouldn't help much though. He would still be thinking about Pepper. He had to take his mind off of her for while. She was most likely going to be home soon anyway.
He headed into his office. There was always some work he could do in there.
When Pepper woke up she was sitting in a dark room on her own. She tried to move, just to realize she was chained to the chair. She looked around the room she stuck in. There was no windows. Just two lights hanging from the ceiling and one of them was flickering on and off constantly. There must of also been a spiders web in almost every corner of the room. Although she had never been in one, Pepper imaged this was what it was like to be in a jail cell. The door had no handle on her side which must of been to stop her escaping. Just above that door there was also a camera to keep an eye on her. Again it must of been to make sure she didn't escape. Not that she could really seeing as there was no handle on the door and she was chained to a chair.
She continued to examine the room she was stuck in when she heard voices heading toward the room. She could just about make out what they were saying. There was something about her being in this and that she knew about Tony so could tell them where he is.
The voices continued to get closer and closer until she could hear a key jingling in the lock. She desperately hope that somehow Tony was with there and could get her out of here. He wasn't though. When the door opened 2 men walked in. One of them she could recognize as being the man that asked her if she was Pepper or not. He was now dressed in a black and white stripy suit with a tie with a cobra tie on like the people she had seen in the streets. The other guy was in a plain black suit and a white tie instead. He came and stood just in front of her.
" ah Pepper Potts, What a pleasure to meet you" He said. He sounded friendly but sarcastic at the same time.
"I'm Tocobra and basically all I want to know from you is: Where is Tony Stark?" He continued. She couldn't tell him where Tony was. He most likely had something against him after all and might hurt him.
" What do you want with Tony?" Pepper asked, she had to know what they were going to do with Tony before she could tell him where he was.
" Revenge" He replied in a bitter tone. Pepper wondered what he meant by that. Could he of worked with Killian?
"I'll repeat: Where is Tony Stark?" He asked forcefully and taking forward so he was even closer to her. Pepper started to panic. She couldn't tell him that he would be at home.
" I don't know honestly"
"Lies!" he shouted before lifting his hand up to slap her. Pepper could fell her eyes welling up from the pain.
"Look I honestly don't know. He went out earlier but he didn't tell where he was going." Pepper lied, hoping she wouldn't get another slap and that he would believe her.
" Ok then." He said before both of the men walked out of the room.
Pepper was now once again left on her own in the room. She hoped that maybe he had believed her lie but only a couple of minutes later the 2 men entered the room again. This time Tocobra had a phone in his hand. She could just recognize it as being her phone.
" Lets give Tony a call shall we? Find out where he is." He said before dialing a number. Pepper started to get worried. Tony might say he was at home and so they would find out that she had lied.
