First off. I wanna say this is my first story on this site. :D Next I own none of the characters in this story, they all belong to marvel.

I love you Pepper Pots.

Thor bashed Loki up against the wall in the stark tower.

"You stupid man. How could you do this to a world that has done nothing towards you!" The other avengers nodded their heads at Loki. Tony Stark had the biggest satisfactory smirk on his face.

Deserves him right for almost killing me.

"Good work avenegrs." Tony said walking towards his bar still in his Iron Man suite. His machine that helped assemble and dis assemble his suit was broken thanks to Loki. So he hadn't found the time to struggle out of the darn thing. "So who wants a drink?"

A couple hours, and a few drinks later. They Avengers where ready to take Loki back to the helacarrier, when a figure appeared in the door way of Tony's elevator. A petite woman with strawberry blonde hair slowly walked in. The famed pepper potts had red eyes, do to her fears that her boyfriend was killed, while attempting to save the planet.

"Um…we should take Loki…you can come back later Tony. Ok?" Natasha told him as she pushed the rest of the team into the elevator. As the door closed Tony could her someone say.

"That ass has a girl!"

Tony quickly ran over to her.

"Pep!"

She didn't say a word. She just looked at him with her stained red eyes. He quickly wrapped his arms around her. "Pepper, dear god pepper. I thought I was going to lose you." She glared at him.

"So did I! So in the last half hour I called your cell fifteen times, while you sat here with your pals drinking it up. While I worried my damn heart out…" Tears started to softly fall down her freckled face. "I saw you fly into the portal on the news. All I could do was watch! I couldn't help, I wanted so bad to be there…" Tony stopped her.

"Did you check your phone?"

"What?"

"I said, did you check your phone?"

She shook her head. She slowly pulled her phone out. It read, "One missed call." She started to cry again. He called her. He did call her.

"When?"

"While I flew into the portal…when else…"

She dropped to her knees. Sobbing. He sat down next to her wiping the tears about from her sweet eyes. "Hey, hey…your going to make me cry pep!" She laughed a little.

"I can't believe my self…I was so mad when all along you called. While. While you were risking your life! And I didn't even pick up! Im so horrible!"

Tony shook his head. Then kissed her.

"pepper if anything you're a god damn saint…and, I love you for that very reason."

It was the first time he ever told her. He realized now that life was very short. So he wanted to tell her before the next time he had to fly into a portal with a missile on his back. He heard the elevator open. A tired looking Steve Rogers appeared.

"Sorry to interrupt Stark, but we need you."

Tony turned towards Pepper who was nodding. "Go Tony…they need you." He pulled her in and kissed her one last time before standing up. She smiled, and mouth "I love you.."

Tony smiled as he walked into the elevator. He turned towards Steve and punched him in the arm.

"That's for the ass comment captain."

She saw tony blow a kiss as they disappeared down stairs. Now she knew that no matter what happened he would always love her. And she would always love him too.

Yeah I know, It's nothing special.
