(A/N Hey guys! I thought I would write something new because no has been writing in a while…and I thought you might like this new story I came up with….Enjoy. I don't own IMAA!)

Tony put his books in his locker as Pepper snuck up behind him. Pepper with an evil grin she reached out her hands and yelled out "BOO!" and grabbed his shoulders. Tony yelled out, spun around and pinned Pepper against the lockers. Tony loosened his grip when he saw who it was but didn't let go of her shoulders "Pep! Don't do that!" he said frowning at the redhead. Pepper just smiled and laughed "Little paranoid Tony? You've never reacted like this before." She said laughing lightly. Tony just shook his head and reluctantly let go of Pepper's shoulders. "I'm not paranoid… It's just Ghost he has me on edge since he stole the armor designs" he said closing his locker. Pepper frowned "Don't worry Tony everything will work out…they have to. Your good karma has to bite you in the ass eventually" she said with a positive smile. Tony sighed and smiled. How does she do it? Cheer me up so easily? He asked himself and nodded toward the exit "Come on Pep let's go to the lab so I can help you with your science." He said and smiled a little wider when Pepper stuck her tongue out at him.

The two teens walked down the street talking about the latest Iron Man upgrades. "So you just upgraded the security system?" Pepper asked as she put her cell phone away. Tony nodded "Ya, just something that would protect me and people around me from a significant blast." He said putting his hands in his pockets. Pepper laughed "sounds…very…you know what I don't know…" she said with a smile. Tony laughed "you'll see when we get to the-" a sudden blast made Tony stop short and fly back into a car. He groaned and his vision was blurry "PEPPER!" Tony shouted his ears still ringing. His vision cleared and he spotted a girl with red hair. "Pep!" he shouted crawling over to her but someone grabbed him by the leg. "Grab him! Get him in the van!" someone shouted. Someone grabbed Tony and roughly tossed him in a black van. "PEEPPER!" Tony yelled struggling against his captors. "Hehe you won't see her for a long time Stark." Someone said and everything went black.

Rhodey ran up to a receptionist's desk panting. "Pepper…Potts….Room….Please…" he said in between breaths. The receptionist looked at him shocked but quickly looked up the name "Uhhh Patricia Potts is in room 138 on the fourth floor…." She said looking up just in time to see Rhodey run to the elevator.

The elevator dinged opening its doors to the fourth floor. Rhodey looked at every door before he found Pepper's room. He gasped at what he saw inside, Pepper looked small and broken. Rhodey walked forward and sat in the chair next to the bed. The sound of groaning made Rhodey look up "Pepper!" he shouted in a whisper. "Rhodey?" Pepper asked blinking and sitting up. Rhodey nodded "Ya. How you feeling?" he asked. Pepper frowned and winced "like I was hit by a train, the pushed off the roof of Stark tower." She said wincing some more. Pepper's head shot up "Speaking of Stark…where's Tony?! H-he was with me then the explosion happened….!" She said her pulse getting higher and higher. The hospital machines started to beep frantically "Pepper! Pepper! Calm down! Your body can't take this right now!" Rhodey said worriedly. Pepper shook her head "someone took him Rhodey! I remember voices! Someone saying something like 'Grab him!' I have to help Tony! I said everything would turn out all right! I promised!" Pepper shouted adrenaline now pumping through her. The monitors now are going wild, nurses came running in shouting questions at Rhodey. Pepper tried to throw back her covers but a nurse held her down and gave her a shot. Within seconds Pepper was closing her eyes and the last thing she heard was "Don't worry Pepper. Just work on getting better."

4 hours later….

Rhodey walked to the armory to see if he could track Tony's phone but he got nothing. "Come on man! Where are you!" he shouted kicking the computer in anger. Rhodey sighed and checked his watch I should go and check on Pepper….he thought and left the armory for the hospital.

Rhodey got off the elevator and made his way to Pepper's room. "Hey Pepper….you-" Rhodey started to say but stopped because no one was in the room. It was empty. The bed messed up and a bloody IV dripped onto the floor. "Help!" he shouted and ran down the hall.

(A/N Well? What do ya think? Should I continue? Please review! And I'm sorry for the grammar….!)
