This is meh new story, that was requested by Haytar96 and its a mighty good one! :) Though its been stinking hard! But, good stories are always hard to write! This is only going to be two, maybe three chapters long, but knowing me, it'll probably be longer...who knows.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for Haytar96, but i tried.

Disclaimer: IMAA is not mine, and neither is the idea. Oh darn.

On a Friday, Pepper and Tony were walking together after school ended. Rhodey stayed late at school trying to study as much as he could for a big history test the following week. So, Tony and Pepper decided it was best to just leave him be and go home. Not feeling like walking, Pepper suggested that they take the subway train to the armory and Tony couldn't have agreed more.

They bought their subway tickets and sat on a bench next to each other as they waited for the train. Tony listened as Pepper told him her point of view on some political thing Tony was unaware of. But he listened to her anyways, only sometimes did he try to tune her voice out.

"I swear, sometimes I think they're pretty dumb." Pepper finished as the subway train arrived.

"I guess." Tony said, not sure what else to say.

Pepper followed Tony as he boarded the train. They found a seat in the front section of the train, but in the back of it. There wasn't many other people in the subway, so it was a pretty quiet ride. Pepper made light conversation, this time about a less likely topic to begin a debate: Algebra.

"Today's algebra was so confusing!" Pepper complained, "I'm normally pretty good at math."

"I'm sure you'll get the hang of it." Tony assured her. "If you want, I could help you."

She smiled. "Would you?"

He was about to reply with an easy smile and nod, but what happened next, wasn't exactly what they expected.

Then next thing they knew, there was a huge explosion followed by screams, but anything after that, was a blank as many of them blacked out.

…

Tony groaned as he forced himself to open his eyes. Wincing in pain, he tried to sit up, but failed when he found his arm jammed under something. But, he couldn't move his head much to check it out, but he twisted his head to at least be able to find Pepper.

It took a few moments, but finally he found her. He recognized her by her red hair and pink cloths, but she was facing the other way, apparently still passed out. "Pepper!"

The whole subway was tilted so he could tell the train had been derailed. Windows were broken and there was smoke that filled in from broken windows in the front part of the train, which he could tell at least. Rubble and smallish boulders lay everywhere.

As far as Tony could tell, only about one or two other people were awake other than himself, but he didn't pay attention to them, he only concentrated on freeing his left arm from whatever it was under. Using his other arm and even his legs, he managed to pull his arm out with only what felt like a sprained wrist and some bruises.

Once he was free, he crawled over to Pepper, since the ceiling of the subway was dented a bit. Plus, his mind was still scrambled from the impact. He made it to Pepper and he rolled her onto her back and sucked in a breath.

Her forehead had a gash on it that blood was streaming down from and was flowing down her face. Her top lip was split and on her cheek was a large bruise. But that was only her face. A rather large piece of glass was sticking out of her stomach and her ankle looked twisted. He wondered if he looked that bad.

He noticed that his head was bleeding a bit too, and a few cuts here and there, but he didn't think he looked at all that bad.

"Pep, wake up." He whispered worriedly. "Pepper!" He said more loudly when she didn't wake up.

He looked around for a moment looking for water and something that could act as a replacement for a washcloth. When he did, he found that everyone was awake except for Pepper, which worried him. He noticed a pregnant woman who was trying to breathe regularly, a marine, a grumpy looking business man, and a 9 year old boy.

He found Pepper's pink bag nearby and was relieved to find a half drunken water bottle. But he found nothing that could substitute for a cloth. So, with help of a pocket knife that Pepper, thankfully had, he cut of a part of his shirt. He pour some of the water on it and used it to clean of the blood on her face.

The wetness on her face woke her up. "Wha-"

"Whoa, calm down. Don't sit up." Tony warned as she tried to sit up. "Don't move actually."

"Why not?" She asked confusedly.

"You have a large piece of glass sticking out of your stomach." Tony replied.

"Oh…"

Pepper winced as she just felt what he was talking about. Not only that, he head hurt like crazy. She blinked a few times to clear her foggy vision to see nothing pretty. "What happened?"

"The subway crashed." Tony said simply.

"Ugh." Was Pepper's reply.

Tony didn't say anything else, but prepared more strips of his shirt for when he was going to remove the glass in her stomach. Then he dug through Pepper's bag again and pulled out a pencil. He handed it to Pepper who looked at him, confused.

"Put it in your mouth and bite down on it." He said.

"Why?" She asked, wincing as she moved a bit.

"To distract you when I pull the glass out." Tony said.

She narrowed her eyes, not quite ready. "Okay…"

"Ready?"

"I guess." She replied as she put the pencil between her teeth.

Then instant Tony started to pull on the glass, she bit down as hard as she could on the pencil, definitely leaving marks. She screamed as he tried to wriggle the glass out. After a few agonizing moments, the glass was out, but replace by pressure when Tony put the strips of cloth over the wound.

"I really hope none of your organs were touched." Tony said. "I mean, it wasn't that deep, but that doesn't mean a thing."

"Hey, need some help?" A voice behind him asked.

Tony looked behind himself, to see the marine crouching behind him. He blinked, surprised that anyone was offering help, but nodded nonetheless, muttering a thanks.

"I have some medical supplies, not much, but I'm coming home from the field." The man said.

"Thanks." Tony found himself saying.

"No problem."

The two worked together to stop the bleeding and using gauze the marine had, they wrapped up the wound. Though, after that, Pepper fell asleep saying her head hurt. Tony found out the man's name was, Jason Smith.

"I'm going to see if everyone else is alright." Tony said once he made sure Pepper was comfortable on one of the crooked seats.

First, he pulled out his phone, only to find the screen cracked. So he found Pepper's phone, but found no reception. He sighed and made his way to where the others were more crowded. The pregnant woman was holding her stomach, crying as the little boy who looked just as upset, tried to comfort her. The grumpy business man sat angrily trying to get his phone to work as he looked for his loose paper work.

He looked at them, trying to find injuries. Jason, the marine, had some cuts here and there from glass and a bruise on his head, the pregnant woman looked unharmed except the scrape on her knee and the bump on her head, the little kid had a cut on his cheek and his ankle looked twisted, the business man might have either broken an arm, or just cut it, Tony couldn't tell. Thought he could tell that he had a few burns as well as the kid and the woman.

He made his way over to the woman and the kid. "You two okay?"

"No!" The woman wailed. The boy just shook his head, crying.

"Okay, calm down." Tony said painfully waving his hands. "It's alright!"

"It. Is. Not. Okay!" The woman screamed at him, emotionally. "My BABY could have gotten hurt! What if something happened!? What if he got hurt!?"

Tony felt like he should give her space, but when he looked over at Jason for help, he just urged Tony to keep trying.

"Calm down, I know this is frightening, but panicking won't help. I'm trying to help you out here." Tony tried. "I can't see you're in distress, and I can see you're worried about your baby. Just calm down for one second."

The woman paused for a second as she eyed him to see if he was lying or not, before she started to bawl as she pulled him in for a hug. "I'm sorry! I'm terribly sorry! I'm just…I'm pregnant…and I'm…the hormones! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to shout!"

Tony awkwardly returned the hug, and patted her back. "It's okay, I understand."

She sniffled as she pulled away. She turned to the boy next to herself. "Thanks for trying to calm me down."

The boy sniffled as well and nodded. "You're welcome."

"You two going to be alright for now?" Tony questioned.

"Yeah." The woman said.

"By the way, I'm Tony. What's your name?"

"I'm Jane," 'Jane' said as the little boy replied, "Mathew."

Tony waved them as he went to go make sure the business man was alright. "Sir, you okay?"

The man stopped grumbling to himself and looked at Tony. Tony read the name tag on his shirt and it said, Jim.

"What are you lookin' at?" He barked.

"I'm just asking if you're okay."

"Well, I'm fine."

'Jim' continued to bash his phone at the ground as he swore at it to work. Tony began to walk away, not really wanting to disturb the man any further since he knew what it was like to be around business men, but stopped when the man grabbed his arm.

"I know who you are!" The man hissed loudly. "You're Tony Stark!"

"I know that." Tony replied pulling his arm away, but Jim's grip tightened. "What?"

"You're a genius, fix it!" Jim demanded shoving the phone at Tony. "I need to call someone right now!"

Tony looked at the phone to see the screen cracked and the picture was all messed up. "I can't fix a broken phone."

"Yes you can. I've heard you invented your own phone, so I know you can fix it."

"Not here, not now, and definitely not for you." Tony said tossing the phone to Jim, before yanking his hand back and leaving. He ignored the profanity that the business man threw at him, and double checked that Jane and Mathew were okay.

Then he returned to Pepper, who was still asleep and Jason who was tending to his own wounds. He could hear sirens, but just barely, so he knew it was going to be a while before they were getting out.

So, how was it? If i need to fix anything, nows the time to tell me. I admit, I think the way i wrote it is quite boring...And Haytar96 didn't give me names, so i just chose some for them...

Fun Fact: Xbox 360 is my station, I'll play the wii and gamecube, but I could live off of the Xbox if I didn't like writing so much.

So, I hope you liked it! Biyah!
