This is about Peppers way to see Tony again.
Still just own Chris and Belle.
Defiance
The door sprung open and Tony saw Belle swaying towards him. He was still tied up at the chair she forced him to sit at. The room was dark, cold and dump, a spare glimmer of sunlight shone through the dirty and rumpled curtains and slightly illuminated the room. Belle walked over to him and bent down to look into his eyes.
"Oh honey, don't look so sad. It's a wonderful day, the sun shines and you are supposed to be happy with me." Belle's mouth smiled, but her eyes remained cold, hard and cruel. "Tony we love each other. Why don't you see it?"
"You don't know what love is." He growled. "I love Pepper and nothing you say or do will change this."
"Oh my poor, poor Tony. She is engaged now with Chris. She used to use you, she never loved you. She's happy she has moved on. Why don't you do the same?"
"LIE! You are a liar! I know she would never do this to me." He shouted and fought against the bonds.
"Well have a look." Belle pointed towards the screen on the wall and a video came up. It shows the night where Christoph kidnapped Pepper and forced her to agree to marry him. Tony saw that he kissed her and hurt her. He knew Pepper did nothing; Chris obviously forced her to do that. It broke Tony's heart to watch her in such an uncomfortable position. She looked exhausted and the flame that used to burn in her bright ocean blue eyes was gone. She looked lifeless, like Chris had taken her body with him, but not her. She was gone and it broke his heart to see her in this state. He would give his life to never see her like this again, to hold her and tell her everything would be ok. He wanted to kiss her and calm her.
When the video ended he turned his gaze towards Belle again. "You are cruel and a maniac. You don't know what love is. If you'd love me you'd want me to be happy. You just want your revenge for a fault you did, but you're too proud to admit that it was your fault. And now you're just sad that I'm happy and got over you, while you're alone and have no one to love you!"
Belle was about to say something and opened her mouth as Chris entered the room behind her. "Belle we need to talk." He growled with his deep voice.
"You bloody BASTARD! Where is she? What did you do to her? I swear I'm going to kill you!" Tony shouted at him.
"Shut up Stark, otherwise she will pay. Belle we need to talk now." Chris said.
As soon as Belle and Chris shut the door behind them Belle pinned him against the wall.
"What are you up to?" Eyes narrowed and voice full of anger she glared at him. "You was supposed to be on the other side of the country by now with this bitch."
"Careful Isabelle, you're talking about my fiancé. And I'll leave when we have his suits and money and when you've finally killed him. I mean seriously the whole 'Oh Tony I love you so much' –thing is ridiculous. I know, you know and even he knows that's not true. You just want revenge. I'm glad to help you with this, cause he stole my Ginny from me."
She released her grip on him. "Gosh you're such a softy. She is just a girl and she left you because of her " She pointed her fingers in the air to accentuate her statement. " 'Job'. She's a bitch. Don't you see it? Sleeping her way to the top."
"Think what you want to, but I dare you to call her bitch."
Belle rolled her eyes. "Fine, fine. Calm down, Chris. So what'cha want?"
"Ginny wants to see him one more time. I don't think it's a good idea, but I think it'll be the perfect pressure for Stark to convince SHIELD to actually give us the things we want, plus it'll hurt him even worse." A small smile appeared on Chris' face at the thought of Tony Stark who's forced to see how another man is getting the love of his pity life.
"What?! Ah, I see your point. You want to take her as a pressure for him. He wants to help her and will convince SHIELD to follow our claims. Alright, bring her up."
Pepper lay on the floor curled up in a ball, the note from Chris, that she will see Tony in her hands, tears streamed down her cheeks and the new engagement ring on her finger. What Chris didn't know, she hadn't thrown away the ring Tony had given her. She had taken it off, but she had stuck it in her bra, right over her heart. It was secure and right there.
The loud bang made her sit up and she didn't want Chris to see that she'd been crying that's why she whipped her tears away quickly.
As soon as the door flew open, Chris entered, gripped her arm roughly and pulled her up. A sob escaped her lips. Pepper was honestly afraid about what he was up to, but she refused to give him the pleasure to see his effect on her and so she swallow her fear and sobs and snarled at him. "What do you want? I did everything you wanted me to do and you seduced me and locked me up. What else do you want?"
"Whoa babe, calm down. Honey I wanted to talk about our wedding." His tone didn't fit to the statement. It was angry and dangerous, a warning. "But since you aren't interested, fine then you won't get your present." He said through gritted teeth.
Pepper understood that she had to play along otherwise her chance to see Tony would disappear and she'd put him in harm's way. She freed her arm from his hand and placed in on his shoulder. "Sorry Chris, I think the medics are still in my system I don't know what I say. Let's talk about our wedding. I want it as soon as possible. Let's get through this." Her last sentence was just a whisper only to herself, while her other hand lay on her chest, pressing Tony's ring to her heart. Her eyes went close and she turned her head down and looked at her feet while her thoughts went back to the moment he proposed. Her next sentence was meant towards the ring and his owner too, not towards Chris. "I love you. I'll always love you."
"Well, fine." Chris forced her chin up and crashed his lips to hers. She still didn't respond, but he didn't seem to care. "Now to your present: You're allowed to see him, but be careful Potts. One false word, gesture or action and you'll be sorry. Do you understand me?"
Pepper said nothing and turned her eyes away again. Chris gripped her chin in his hands and forced her eyes to meet his. He was angry. She could tell it by his voice and grip. "I asked: DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"
"Yes!" She growled through gritted teeth.
"Walk." He shoved her through the door and up the stairs.
As they reached the top of the stairs she saw her. Belle. And she couldn't stand it seeing her there, arrogant, self-confident and totally happy. "YOU! LET HIM GO! You got what you wanted. You have ME! You hurt him, so let him go!" Belle did nothing but laugh at Pepper. "You fucking bloody bitch. You whore, you little, virtuous, invalid, stupid slut. I will kill you. If I ever get out of here I will kill you! You better hide, cause I will NOT rest till I find your sorry, pity ass and send it 100 feet under the hell!" Pepper shouted and the smile disappeared from Belles face.
"You better be careful what you say Potts." Belle spat in her face as she leaned down to her. "I am the one here who decides if you and Tony live or not. I warn you, be careful or all you've ever loved, your friends, your lover every- and anyone will die, because of you. So what were you saying again, I thought I hadn't heard you well."
Angry tears streamed out of Pepper's eyes, but her voice was strong, full of anger and that meant in Pepper's case dangerously calm. "You are a heartless slut. Go to hell." She spat.
"Fine." Belle snarled and looked expecting at Chris and nodded. He got a hold of Peppers arms and fixed her. "I told you better be careful." And with those words she slapped Pepper across the face and kicked her in the stomach.
Pepper coughed and involuntarily curled herself into a ball. The pain was incredible and she knew immediately there was something wrong, besides the kick, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. She growled in pain and more tears escaped her eyes. Her mind went dizzy, because of the pain, but she heard Belle as she said, "Next time it'll be your face." before she left and left Pepper with Chris alone again.
"Ginny I'm sorry, but I told you to behave. Maybe you'll learn from that." He said as he let her fall to the ground. "Wait here, I'll see if he's ready for you."
While Chris was away she curled up on the dirty ground and hugged her knees to her chest, trying to ease the pain and to prevent herself from throwing up. But the nausea was too heavy after the kick and she couldn't suppress it any longer. Luckily there was no blood and she hadn't eaten much the last day.
About twenty minutes later Chris eventually returned and pulled her up. "Go. And I just say it one more time: you better BEHAVE now!"
And there he was. Tony.
