Logan walked out of the bathroom and rolled her eyes at the fact that Tony was no longer waiting outside. She knew he didn't want to be here with Hammer and Christine Everhart doing an interview. This was meant to be some time away for both of them, and although it was partly for the company, this was a getaway from everything that was happening back at home. From the government, from all the Iron Man drama and responsibility, this was an escape and she hated that Tony couldn't even enjoy it because of all the attention he managed to attract all because of who he happened to be.

Back out in the dining area, Christine was sitting at a table interviewing Hammer and Logan saw her opportunity to completely ignore them and join Pepper over at a table by the side.

''Where's Tony?' Pepper asked before even looking up.

''Your guess is as good as mine,'' Logan chuckled as she sat down, sipping at the juice she had ordered.

''I hope he's still around, we could use the good press right now,'' Pepper told her as they looked out the window and around the room. ''I didn't expect it to be so...''

''Full of nosy reporters?'' Logan finished off her sentence with another chuckle. ''Neither did I. Actually, I'm surprised I haven't seen-''

''Please tell me you're talking about me,''

Logan turned around to see Drew walking up behind her, a drink in one hand and a writing pad in the other. This was how he usually got the good stories back at the office. He'd sit with a group of people who didn't even know who he was, make notes and then later exploit them all over the news and let the whole world know what they were talking about.

''Oh, when am I not?'' Logan rolled her eyes.

''Ms. Potts, lovely to see you again,'' Drew charmingly smiled towards Pepper as she greeted him. ''How's Monaco treating you?''

Drew and Pepper began talking politely as Logan sipped at her drink, her eyes looking over to the television playing in the room, pausing when she noticed what was on the screen. It was a live feed from the racetrack of the Grand Prix, and Tony was sitting in the Stark race car, looking straight into the camera. She had to blink a few times to make sure that what she was seeing wasn't a hallucination of some sort, but she wasn't dreaming or seeing things.

''Oh my god...'' she gasped, standing up and staring at the television screen. ''What the hell is he doing?''

Pepper turned her head to see what Logan was looking at and her eyes widened at the sight of Tony sitting in the race car, just about ready to take off. He wasn't supposed to be there, he wasn't supposed to be anywhere else other than here with them.

''Natalie,'' Pepper called out, ushering the new P.A over. ''Where's Happy?''

''He's outside by the car,'' Natalia told her.

''Okay get him, I need Happy,''

Pepper knew this was dangerous and from her experience with Tony doing stupid and dangerous things over the years, they needed reinforcements. Logan watched as Tony waved at the cameras, wondering what he was trying to do or how he even got the idea to do this in the first place. Drew was staring at the television screen as well, too stunned to be writing anything down.

''I gotta get down there!'' he put his drink down quickly, rushing to the door.

''Wait!'' Logan called out, following him. ''I'm coming with you,''

''Logan! Wait here-'' Pepper began, trying to stop her.

''Can't do that,'' Logan shook her head, rushing out behind Drew to his car.

Moments later, Happy hurried in through the door and saw Pepper looking back at him with worried eyes. He held up a red case with a chain hanging off it, the colors and texture resembling that of the Iron Man suit, and they both nodded at each other, a silent agreement.


Logan gripped the side of the door in Drew's car as he sped down the road to the race. It wasn't far away from the hotel they were at, but it certainly wasn't in walking distance, especially when he wanted to get there quickly. This was a story he didn't want to miss, and he couldn't help being reminded of the times when he and Logan worked as partners on stories, but Logan's mind was far from old times right now. She had no idea why Tony thought it would be a good idea to go into this race, but she just wanted to be there and watch what was happening and get to him after the race was over.

''You okay?'' Drew asked, noticing Logan breathing heavily and keeping her hand on her stomach protectively. ''It's my driving, isn't it?''

''I'm fine,'' she nodded, breathing deeply. ''Although, I liked your driving a whole lot better when I wasn't pregnant,''

''Sorry,''

When they finally got there, a massive crowd had formed around the Stark racing crew, and that's exactly where Drew was wanting to go. Logan followed behind as Drew held his arm out behind him, making sure the crowd didn't run into her as they made their way over. Logan ignored the Stark team as Drew began asking questions, running straight to the side of the huge fence to look on as the race began.

She could see the blue car on the screens, taking off with all of the others. Tony had never felt so much adrenaline for a long time as he drove off in the Formula 1 car, speeding past the other drivers. He knew he would suffer some major consequences for doing all of this, but that had never stopped him before.

Not far from where Logan was standing, a man dressed in security jumpsuit threw himself over the railing and onto the track as the crowd gasped. Logan turned her head to see what was going on, staring wide eyed at the man standing in the middle of the road. Before anyone could get to him, his jumpsuit began falling off him in pieces, burning around the sides. Underneath, he was wearing a device that looked a lot like an arc reactor, glowing as it connected to two whips that were in his hands, burning and melting everything they touched.

As soon as Logan saw what was happening, she could already see what was going to follow. This man was insane, and she knew it wasn't going to end well as one of the cars came flying around the corner just as the man lifted his arm, throwing the whip down over the car and cutting it in half. The crowd watched on as the car flipped over and burst into flames. Logan threw her hands over her mouth in shock and shook her head, silently dreading when Tony's car was going to come around the same corner.

Everything was going fine until he saw smoke in the air, and by the time he realized what was going on, it was too late to stop. A man in the middle of the road threw his whips down on the front of Tony's car, causing it to flip over and smash onto the ground, a crunching noise echoing through the crowd of people.

''Tony!'' Logan screamed, unable to hold back as her hands knotted through her hair.

The car stopped rolling as Tony hung upside down, throwing his helmet off and looking around him. Whoever that crazy man was, he was beyond dangerous. The whips in his hands melted through the gravel beneath his feet, leaving a trail of where he was walking. The man started walking toward the car Tony was in, and Logan couldn't help moving toward the small gate that lead out onto the road, but Drew held her back.

''Think about what you're doing,'' he shook his head. ''You can't go out there,''

As the man walked closer, everyone held their breath as he noticed Tony was no longer in the car. A few moments later, Tony came from the behind the man with a piece of metal and slammed it into his head, hoping it would knock him out. However, something else came to his rescue. When he looked up at the road, Happy's car was flying down the track towards them and he quickly jumped out of the way before the man was pinned against the fence from the car.

''Are you out of your mind!'' Pepper screamed from the backseat, holding the red case on her lap.

''I was attacked!''

''Get in the car!" she yelled again.

There was no time to think before the man pulled his arm out and threw the whips down on the car, cutting off the whole side of the vehicle. Tony yelled at Pepper to pass him the case and she threw it out onto the ground. Everyone was watching as Tony put his hands into the slots of the case, pulling it up onto his chest as it transformed around him, creating the Iron Man suit. His body was covered in the metal within seconds, and he kicked away the car with Happy and Pepper in it, keeping them out of the way.

Tony fought against the man as best as he could, trying to avoid the electrical whips in his hand. He had no idea who this man was or why he had targeted Tony out of everyone else and harmed others as well, but he wasn't going to let him get away. Tony grabbed the whips and the man tried to hit him, rolling them through his fingers and pulling himself closer to the man until he finally made it to his chest. He took the arc reactor that the man was hooked up to in his hands, ripping it off the man's chest and ending the power source.

Once the electrical whips died down, security came over and took him away as he spat towards Tony.

''You lose!'' he yelled, laughing manically. ''You lose!''

Tony looked down at the arc reactor in his hands, wondering how this man could have made it when no one else in the world was closer to doing so. It was only days before that he had told the senator that this type of technology couldn't be possessed by anyone else, and here was this man using it right now. Tony crushed the reactor within his hands, tossing it to the side as he looked back up at the crowd and saw Logan standing there looking back at him worriedly.


Tony and Logan had been swarmed by cameras and reporters as soon as they made it back to the hotel. Happy did his best to get them inside, but there were still reporters inside wanting to hear from him and right now wasn't a good time. Pepper was sorting out what he needed to do no, making statements and speaking to the man who had appeared on the track, but at the moment he just wanted to get away from it all. He gripped Logan's hand in his own as they walked through the hotel, barely able to see from all the cameras flashing toward them.

''Who was that guy?'' Logan asked when they walked into the hotel room.

''I don't know,'' Tony ran his hands through his hair, pouring himself a glass of scotch. ''But I'm going to find out,''

''Tony's he's crazy, you can't go to him,'' she shook her head. ''Let the police handle it, he's going to prison,''

''Not before I talk to him,'' Tony looked over to her. ''He wanted me for something, he targeted me and I want to know why,''

Logan sat down on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath, putting her head in her hands. Tony could hear her breathing loudly and looked over, noticing that she didn't look too good.

''Are you okay?'' he asked, walking over and kneeling down in front of her. ''Logan?''

''Yeah,'' she nodded, looking at him. ''I've just got a bad headache, and I'm so tired,''

Tony rubbed the sides of her legs gently with his hands, trying his best to soothe her. He was so mad right now about what had happened with that madman, but he could so easily forget about all of it when it came to Logan. Tony put his arms around her and led them back onto the bed, laying down quietly. Logan moved her head in next to his neck, sighing heavily.

''Why is all of this happening?'' she asked, her hands clasping with his. ''I don't like it,''

Tony pressed a kiss to her temple. ''I know, I'm sorry,''

Logan pulled her head up for a moment. ''This isn't your fault Tony,''

''That guy was coming after me, and you were there, you could have got hurt-''

''Not your fault,'' she shook her head. ''Stop doing this. Stop blaming yourself for everything that happens. I just don't want you getting hurt again, I don't want to...to lose you,''

Tony had never felt so guilty in his entire life. She was scared of losing him to this crazy man who had attacked him, but she was already slowly losing him to palladium poisoning. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, kissing her repeatedly on her forehead. He wasn't going to leave her like this, he was going to find a way to make it out of this, but he was going to see that man before they left. He didn't want to leave her, but if things got too bad, he had to make sure that whoever was after him wasn't going to go after his family is worst came to worst.

''You're not going to lose me,'' he whispered in her ear as she began falling asleep, the exhaustion of the day hitting her.

Tony moved his hand to rest on her stomach, feeling the rounded bump and smiling down at it.

''I promise,''
