Thanks for your reviews:) I updated ASAP, but the next chap might take me a bit longer to update.

Anyways I'm glad you liked it and here's the next chapter:)

You know what I own.

MY LIFE

And there he was. Tony.

He was released from the chair and stood at the other side of the room his back to her. But at his posture she could tell that he was exhausted and sad. Incredibly sad, cause his shoulders shook and it looked like he was crying. And still, as she saw him, her heart seemed to explode in her chest. To see he was alive and not hurt made her heart skip a beat. She wanted so desperately to run to him, throw her into his arms and lost herself in his embrace; forget all the things that had happened. But she knew better, she didn't want him to be harmed like she was. He was her life and she couldn't risk her life to be hurt any further.

So she decided to stay where she was and just talk to him.

"Tony?" She spoke softly and her voice was just above a whisper.

It seemed like time had frozen and his shoulders stopped trembling. He squeezed his eyes shut. He could believe it. Now he was going to hear her voice, too. Dreaming was something he couldn't control, but now, that he was awake he started to hear her voice, too. He thought he was going to be crazy. It was until he heard her again, a bit louder and more clear even closer behind him. "Tony?"

He squeezed his eyes shut again and turned slowly around, afraid that when he opened them there would be no one. But as he opened them there she was. His angel, his purpose, his love and other half. Pepper. Virginia 'Pepper' Potts. His life.
But she looked horrible. Her eyes were blood shot, the right half of her face was hot rod red and you could clearly identify it as a hand-print, on her temple was a small strain of blood and her white blouse was covered in dirt, grease and vomit. She didn't stand straight, her back was bent as to protect her stomach and her arms were slung around her stomach. She looked the same like in the video, but as he caught her eyes the fire seemed to light up again and he could read in her eyes that she was afraid and hurt on the one hand, but happy to see him and that she loved him on the other hand.

"Pepper." He let out a breath he hadn't noticed he was holding and as soon as the last letter had left his mouth he practically ran over to her and pulled her in his arms. "Pepper, I thought I'd never see you again. I had no idea. They didn't tell me. What happened to you?" He pulled back a little to look her in the eye.

Tears escaped her eyes quickly and hot as she finally allowed herself to cry and to show her fear as she told him what had happened.

"Shhh… Pepper, it's going to be ok. I know that he forced you to agree to marry him, but I'll rescue you. I'll get you out of here. I promise you we'll get through this. And I will get you a new ring. Calm down. Please calm down, my angel. They won't hurt you again." He took her face in his hands a whipped the tears away.

"Oh Tony, I'm not afraid of my well-being. They threatened to kill you. You have a pill filled with poison in your system and he, Chris can control it. I would never deny my love to you or want to be apart from you, but if it means that it'll save you, I'll do it. God I love you." She started sobbing and Tony bend down to press his lips against hers but she backed away. "No, don't or he will hurt us again. But I – "

Chris opened the door and peaked inside. "Gin, you have one more minute! Get ready."

"Tony I want to give you something so you'll remember me and I want it to be save." She fumbled in her shirt and took out the ring that was hidden there. "Take it. I know SHILED is on your heels, but till they find you I'll be married and I don't know where. Please don't forget me and stay safe and don't try to find me. They have ways to kill you and I want you to live. I hope you can forgive me."

"Pepper, what are you talking about? The ring is yours and I could never forget you and I won't stop searching or even sleep till I find you and till you are by my side again, laying securely in my arms. And Christopher and Isabelle are going to pay to hurt you. I Love You. Never forget this. You are mine and I promise to safe you. You are my life." He embraced her once again while a tear slipped out of his eye.

"Potts, get out, now." Chris said.

Pepper shook her head and nuzzled her nose along his cheek and pressed the ring into his palm while she whispered in to his ear. "It's a tracker. SHIELD installed it in there to find the one who's wearing it. They will find you." She kissed his cheek and whispered once again. "It's you, it has always been you. I love you. From the very first day I loved you Tony Stark. Kick their asses and make me proud. I will always love you, remember that. Goodbye my love." Tony wanted to argue but he was afraid that Chirs would hurt her again if he'd try to protect her or make her stay. But he made the decision to save her no matter what would happen to him, but he couldn't let her hurt again.

A single tear ran down her cheek and Tony kissed it away. "I'm yours." Was all he said and then his lips were on hers and he kissed her as a promise to find her and keep her safe again. She cried and he pulled her in his strong arms, while her arms encircled his waist and then went to his hair. They kissed like there was no tomorrow, their hearts were united again and the connection between their souls was whole again and even stronger than before. They were one.

Even as Chris pushed Tony away and hit his face, they were only physical parted. Their souls were connected, an invisible ribbon like they could hear each other's thoughts and feel each other's feelings.

The feeling of her lips on his was still present and although they had kissed several times it felt like no other kiss they had shared before. He promised himself he would save her, bring her back to him and kill Chris.

An hour later

He thought about how to save her if he could escape, as suddenly Natasha Romanoff stood in front of him, Belle tied up behind her. "Seems like you've met Pepper. Where is she?" She furrowed her eyebrows and searched for her.

"He took her away. She has to marry him or I will die and she wants to save me. I need to save her, before he got the chance to make her his wife."

"Well luckily for you Stark, the Avengers are invited and the wedding is in three days. Get up, it seems like we have to crash a wedding." She smiled at him and offered her hand to help him up. He gladly took it and looked at Belle.

"'Tasha, could you please look away, I have an open bill to pay." Natasha smirked knowingly and turned her back around so she would not witness Tony's action. Tony looked at Belle, who lay on the floor and he was about to kick into her stomach, but he heard Peppers voice in his head. 'Kick their asses and make me proud.' She wouldn't be proud if he would be like them and so he thought better of it than to return their actions. Instead he leaned down and growled into her ear. "GO TO HELL."

He then stood up and headed with Natasha towards the SHIELD-HQ.
They defused the bomb underneath the building and rescued the other avengers.

They had a wedding to crash.

Tada. He's safe and now they need to crash the wedding:)

Good one or bad?

Review and I'll hurry to update.
