46Last chapter guys…
Pepper's POV
As soon as the plane landed in New York I ran off it and saw Happy standing by the limo. I quickly ran over and got in.
"Happy take me to Stark Tower, and hurry." He didn't say anything and quickly sped off to Stark Tower, to Tony, to home.
As we started to get into New York City I just looked around in shock. The city was in complete ruins. How could this of happened? As I was in my own world looking around, Happy brought the care to a screeching stop.
"Happy? What happened?" He looked around for a moment and then responded.
"I can't go any further. The road is blocked by debris." I looked around for a second and decided on what to do. I had to make sure Tony was okay so I started get out of the car.
"Where are you going? It can be dangerous."
"I have to see if Tony's alright. Don't worry Happy, I'll be fine."
"Alright, but be careful, something could fall on you." And with that he drove away and I started walking.
As I got closer to Stark Tower it just got worse and worse with the debris everywhere. It looks like the tower was in the center of the fight. Oh God, I hope Tony's okay. As I was walking I realized how dangerous it is. There is debris everywhere and there are things falling off of building. I almost got hit twice with falling debris. As I go to Stark Towers I was in complete shock at the state it was. It looked nothing like the brand new shiny building I left just a day ago. I walked into the deserted lobby and got onto the elevator for the long trip up to the top. As I waited in the elevator I called out to JARVIS to see if he still worked.
"JARVIS?" I called out and almost instantly heard the familiar robotic voice.
"Welcome back Ms. Potts."
"Thanks JARVIS. Uh, did Tony come back yet?"
"No he did not Ms. Potts. I'm afraid I haven't had contact with him since he flew into the portal." Tony, where are you.
As the elevator doors opened to the floor I walked out and gasped. The place was wrecked and there was glass everywhere. I walked closer to where the windows use to be and almost tripped over a hole in the ground.
"Oh my God." I started to cry as I looked down at the human size and shaped hole in the ground. What if that was Tony? As I stood in the middle of the glass, right in front of where the windows used to be and in front of the human sized hole, I started bawling my eyes out. I had no clue if Tony was alive or dead and so far from what I've seen, it looks like he is. What am I going to do if he's dead? I don't know how I would be able to live without him.
Tony's POV
After the shawarma, I convinced Fury's top secret boy band plus one girl to stay at Stark Tower for the night. When we got back to the Tower it was night out and we were all exhausted. Somehow we all managed to fit inside the elevator, but the ride up was dead silent. When the doors opened we walked out and the first thing I saw was my Pepper standing with her back towards me looking around at the glass shards, the hole in the ground, and all of the debris in the room. I started slowly walking towards her.
"It's okay." I heard Natasha whisper to the rest of the Avengers who most likely getting ready to attack Pep thinking she was an intruder.
As I got closer to Pepper she still didn't turn around or acknowledge my presence yet so I called out to her.
"Pepper?" She slowly turned around and the sight I saw broke my heart. Pepper's face was red with tears streaming down her face and I saw she was shaking slightly. What's wrong? Is she hurt?
"Pepper? What's wrong? Are you okay?" She stopped crying but didn't answer me and just stared at me. She was really starting to worry me when she finally said something.
"What's wrong? Are seriously asking me what's wrong?" She was talking so quietly and calmly for someone who a moment ago was crying. I just looked at her waiting for her to continue.
"You flew into a portal into space, fell out unconscious, and know one's known where you've been or if you were even alive and you're seriously asking me what's wrong?" At the end of the sentence she started yelling.
"I thought YOU DIED TONY! I-I thought you were dead. And-and you called me and I didn't pick up and you were going to die. I thought I lost you." She whispered the last part and looked down. I heard a sniffle and realized she started crying again. God I feel like an ass now. This must be so hard on her, never knowing if I'm going to come back home. I pulled her into a hug as she started sobbing and shaking again. By now Natasha must have brought the rest of the Avengers to a different room knowing this was private.
"I'm so sorry Pepper. It's okay I'm here now. We're both okay."
"For now. But what about the next time you go off to God knows where putting your life on the line all of the time." She softly mumbled into my chest. She's really scared about losing me. God I can't even imagine how much of a wreck I would be if something happened to Pep. I cupped her face in both of my hands and wiped away her tears.
"Hey, I promise you that I will always come back to you. I don't care what it takes but I will always return to you. I love you Pepper." That was the first time I've ever told her I love you, I didn't plan on saying it now but it felt right and I love her more than anything. I'm just scared she doesn't feel the same.
"I love you too, Tony." She now had fresh tears but from the smile on her face I knew they were happy tears. And I know that for the rest of my life I will do anything and go anywhere to keep that smile on her face because she's my family, my friend, my home, and I love her more than anything.
