#41 Fire
Hot Pepper“Who does he think he is…who does he think I am!”
Pepper was beyond the point of being pissed. Tony surprisingly had shown up to the firefighters benefit, looking fabulous, as always. Pepper didn’t bother telling him she was going, she figured he didn’t want to be there anyway, yet there he was telling her how great she looked in that absolutely ridiculous dress with no back. He practically dragged her onto the dance floor, even if she did say no.
“An asshole, that’s what he is! Just leaving me out here like that!”
She was nervous as they danced, he kept looking at her in a way that made her knees weak, those big beautiful puppy dog eyes. Tony even managed to behave himself, keeping his hand rested on her hip rather than on her naked back.
“Nothing but an egotistical asshole!”
They had ended up on the roof, he continued to look at her in the same way. Damn those eyes, she could get lost in them forever if she wasn’t careful.
She started babbling, Pepper had a tendency to babble when she was nervous, and before she knew what she was doing she was leaning into him. She couldn’t help herself, she knew what she felt inside she was also foolish for thinking he may feel the same. Her mind screamed at her to stop, and she did, only seconds before their lips touched. She awkwardly asked him to get her a drink, with the intentions of growing some nerve and finishing what she started.
He never came back.
“How could he just abandon me like that……oh yea…because he’s an asshole!”
Pepper was now searching for Happy, stomping through Disney Hall avoiding any type of conversation.
“Ms. Potts? Agent Coulson, I spoke with you the other day. I’m with the Strategic Homeland…”
“Not now Agent Coulson!” She said as she brushed past him “and find something better to call yourselves!”
She found Happy flirting it up with some girl at the bar. Tony probably had done the same thing and brought her home already. Pepper grabbed the lapel of his jacket and dragged him towards the door.
“We’re leaving Happy.”
“Of course Pepper.”
She slammed the car door after climbing into the back seat.
“My apartment please Happy.” There was a fat chance in hell that she was going back to the mansion tonight, only to be greeted by some floozy in the morning.
Pepper did what work she could from home and didn’t end up going back to the mansion until the next afternoon. While she was there she hadn’t seen Tony, not once, she thought he must have been avoiding her. Unfortunately she did have some things she needed him to take care of, so she reluctantly made her way down into the workshop.
She expected to see him pushed up underneath one of his cars, not in a suit of armor being held up, poked, and prodded by robotic arms.
“What’s going on here?” The bots stopped working and he forced his head around to look at her.
“Lets face it, this isn’t the worst thing you’ve caught me doing.”
She refused to think about that now.
“Are those bullet holes?!”
He looked away. “Ummm….I…I don’t know.”
“They sure as hell look like it.”
“Maybe….they could be.” He mumbled.
They remained silent as the bots pulled and pried the armor from his body. Stepping from the platform he began to pull down the neoprene suit. Pepper’s breath hitched as she saw the bruises forming on his beaten body.
“What happened Tony?”
“Hmmm…..let’s see, the father figure in my life has betrayed me, and somebody is supplying the Ten Rings with my weapons.”
“And the bullet holes.” She had crossed her arms over her chest.
“I went and destroyed them….turns out they didn’t like that to much.” Tony winced as he attempted to run a hand through his grimy hair. Pepper sighed.
“Come here.” She wasn't exactly mad at him anymore, how could she be, he didn’t leave her alone to be with someone else, he was off in another country saving a village. She felt guilty. Guilty and selfish. She sat him down on the couch and began to clean the dried blood from his scalp.
“Easy Pep!” He yelped when she pressed the alcohol pad to his head.
“Sorry.” She whispered frowning slightly.
“Are you alright?” He asked her with concern in his voice.
She was certainly better than he was, all bruised and beaten.
“Mmmhmm.” She continued to patch him up, and handed him a few ice packs.
On impulse she leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
“I’m glad you’re ok Tony.” She left him sitting there on the couch with his mouth hanging open.
“Get back here Potts! I want a real kiss now!”
She chuckled as she climbed the stairs.
“Goodnight Tony.”
“Pepper____!” He whined. “Please?!”
She resumed her place in the guest bedroom that night. The fire inside of her was now just a warm place in her heart for a certain egotistical superhero.
Chapter 7

MUCH LOVE!
