I will always love you

Tony wanders into the living room. He sees Pepper sitting on the couch working on her laptop. She looks so pretty in her white dress Tony thinks before he walks into the kitchen and grabs a sandwich from the fridge. He walks back to the living room and slumps on the sofa next to Pepper. She turns to face him before asking “Not in a hurry to your workshop Starks?” “Why would I be in a hurry anywhere?” He asks a playful smile playing on his lips as he moves a bit closer to her on the sofa. “Because your Iron man.” She retorts not looking at him. A sad pout appears on Tony's face as he grabs Pepper's hand gently. “I will always have time for you Pepper.” He says looking at her sincerely. She finally turns to look at him, but before she can say anything, he had brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it. “You know you all I have.” She can only blush and answer “You too.”

Next day

Tony is talking on the phone when he sees Pepper slumped on the floor, next to his office. She looks so tired and her eyes are black from smudged mascara. She is wearing a neat sweater and white jeans, with black designer heels. He quickly hangs up and walks out of his office to kneel next to her on the floor. “What's wrong Pepper?” He askes, worry prominent in his eyes. Pepper starts crying even louder. Tony sits down next to her and lifts her chin up so she would look at him. Her eyes are full of sorrow when they meet his. She finally speaks, sobbing as she does. "I can't do this anymore." "What can't you do anymore?"He asks. "This whole thing." She waves at the room. "Iron man, the press, the long nights, the worry and stress and worst of all..." she starts sobbing still louder. "Pepper please tell me." He pleads desperately. "I can't.." She says looking down at the floor. He lifts her chin up again. Their eyes lock. "You know you can tell me anything, Pepper." He says. Pepper finally gives up and says "Oh Tony it´s because I love you, and it kills me to see you all day and every day and never be able to be with you!" She finally stops crying and keeps looking at him with those sky blue eyes. "Oh Pepper!" Tony says hugging her tightly and kissing her forehead. "I love you too!" Now they both start crying. After a moment Pepper lifts her head from Tony's shoulder and looks him in the eyes. "Thank you, Stark." She smiles sweetly. He just gazes into her beautiful eyes stroking his tomb lovingly over her cheek. "No need to thank me, I´ve always loved you, Pepper. Since the day I first saw you." Then he leans in and softly kisses her lips.

A Tragedy Told In Metals: Copper & Arsenic

Chapter: 1 link AO3

Playlist (Youtube) Playlist (Spotify) Songs 1-3 apply to this chapter

CW: chronic illness, mild injuries, past abuse

[I’m just jumping to posting in real-time w/ my AO3]

Toni drummed her fingers on her desk watching the chemical formulas for different filaments swirling in front of her eyes. And then what she was almost positive would happen, happened: a red marker reading “failure” blinked in front of her. She dropped her sweaty head on the cool surface of her desk.

“We can keep trying,” JARVIS said.

“Yeah,” Toni muttered.

The formulas, graphs and test results continued to mock her from the screen and Toni sighed. She felt tired but grabbed the stupid chlorophyll shake and downed it. The disgusting drinks were meant to slow the poison. She was going through the motions, pretending this wasn’t as bad as it was. Just pushing through, she wasn’t dying, absolutely not. Except she was and had been since, well, probably since forever, but this particular threat had started the day she survived. It was horribly ironic that the stupid glowing light in her chest, which had saved her life, was now slowly killing her.

That level of irony was honestly funny but she was laughed out. Now it just left a bitter taste in her mouth along with the smoothie. Toni ran her hands along the hardened veins on her chest. The brittle feeling made her feel slightly ill, but that might just be part of the constant nausea she was going through.

Toni was really only going through the motions now. She had already finished writing her will The money was split four ways between charity, Rhodey, Happy and Pepper. Stark Industries went to Pepper. Rhodey got the suits, JARVIS’s mainframe and the Bots. Happy had his choice of cars. Properties, expensive stuff she had and shares of SI would just be split between her friends. Rhodey’s family also got some shares of the company to set them up past the cash Rhodey had.

Toni had it all planned out, it wasn’t guess work. The business had to go to Pepper, she was the only one Toni trusted to not turn Stark Industries back into a weapons company. Rhodey was the only person she would trust in a million years to take care of the Bots and JARVIS with the love they deserve, and, well, he did get the suits; he was the only one who could figure out how to use them if necessary.

“Toni!” Pepper said walking into the lab, her high heels clipping along the floor.

“Yes, Pep?” Toni re-buttoned the top button on her shirt before she spun to face Pepper.

“You returned these forms to me.” Pepper brought up a form on her Stark pad.

“Yeah I did, my signature is there and everything,” Toni replied pointing at the screen

“You signed this page, and the last one but there were a bunch of signature lines between them.”

“Oh,” Toni said with a sigh.

“This is like the fifth time you've done something like this. All of your work is like you’re trying to do it in your sleep.”

“I’m really not Pepper I’m just, ya know, tired. I’ve been busy with SI, and the Iron Queen and just like sleeping and life things.”

Peppers deep suck of breath at the words ‘Iron Queen’ did not go missed by Toni who directed her eyes away from the other woman.

“Well, you can’t leave me to do everything just because you want to fly around in your metal toys. It’s your company and half-done work, late reports, and missed meetings just aren’t fair to everyone else.”

“They aren’t toys. None of this is a game!” Toni shot back.

“Nor is your company! At least not to me, you’re the CEO and no one else is here to do your work for you anymore.”

Toni ground her teeth together as an image of the men who had run the company before filled her mind for a moment. She breathed out, steadying the immediate way her hands shook just thinking about them.

“I know that, okay? I do.”

Pepper sat heavily into the couch and looked to the side, her fingers resting on her lips. She shook her head softly, “I know you’ve been through a lot lately and all. But I’m being the CEO right now.”

A switched flipped into Toni’s head. Why not make Pepper CEO? It was her plan after she died anyway. Toni looked up, “Why aren’t you?”

“What?”

Toni stood up, she grabbed a long piece of scrap metal from her table.

“Ta’ da you’re the new Stark Industries CEO” Toni mimed knighting her.

“Haha, this is important Toni,” Pepper said sliding the scrap from her shoulder.

“I thought we established we weren’t joking tonight.”

“Are you serious?”

“Deathly.”

“Well umm, I think we should have the actual paperwork done up.”

“Sure, yeah, we can do that.” Toni nodded.

“Toni,” Pepper said in that “I’m about to say or ask you something you don’t want to answer” tone of voice.

“Yeah?” Toni replied exhausted

“I’m still going to need you to do some work though. You still own Stark Industries, and I assume you will want to continue working on product development.”

“Yeah, I know that. But now you don’t have to do two jobs anymore. You’re the only person I would ever trust with SI anyway. You’re better for the job anyway; you have the degree, the attention span and people skills.”

“Thanks, Toni. Can you still sign this though?” Pepper pointed to the tablet on the table.

“Sure, right.”

~~~~~

Toni was laying on her couch with ice on her knee, shoulder and head all at once. A particularly bad day of “Iron-Queening” had left her feeling really banged up. Everything hurt, but Toni almost didn’t mind. She was used to being in pain and destroying the Stark weapons cache was something worth getting hurt for anyway. Plus, she actually remembered how she got these injuries, which was cool.

“Ms. Toni, Ms. Potts and an unknown woman are at the door.”

“She armed or suspicious or anything?” Toni said sitting up slowly.

“Not on first scan.”

“Alright let them in.”

Toni sat all the way up and kicked an empty beer bottle under the couch and blinked till her vision cleared up. Pepper was trailed by a woman around her age with bright red hair and light skin.

“Toni, how are you?” Pepper asked.

“Peachy, all these ice packs are for fun!” Toni snarked.

Pepper sighed and rolled her eyes, “JARVIS and the legal department drew up the papers to change Stark industry’s CEO.”

“That's good, but who is she?” Toni pointed to the new lady.

“This is Natalie Rushman. She is going to be your new PA.”

“You're CEO shouldn’t you have one?”

“Oh I will I’m still looking for one suitable. I think you need one or you will never get anything done on time.”

“Hey, JARVIS reminds me of stuff.”

“JARVIS is soft on you.”

“No, he’s not.”

“Yes he is. He's almost as bad as Rhodey.”

Toni sighed.

Natalie walked forward and tried to hand Toni what she assumed were the papers from the legal team. But even if she rationally knew what it was she still flinched back.

“I don’t like being handed things.” Toni explained, “Can you put it on the table?”

“Oh. Yes ma'am,” Natalie said placing it down.

“Oh yuck, just call me Toni. We’re like the same age.” Toni leaned forward and signed the papers, and smiled at Pepper. “Now you're the boss.”

“I’m the boss?” She said returning Toni’s smile, which much to Toni’s annoyance made her stomach swoop. Apparently, that crush she had was not going away and it was really frustrating.

“Yup. Can you stay for dinner?”

“What are you ordering?”

“Actually I’m trying to learn to cook. So I'll make some Pasta. Apparently, cooking is a good skill to reintegrate into life, connecting with the body something, something.” Toni waved her hand as she walked stiffly into the kitchen.

“JARVIS better make sure you don’t burn the water,” Pepper said

Toni shook her head. It was quick work to make spaghetti, not something hard to do. Having Pepper with her made it more enjoyable, though. While Toni was working on making the pasta, she watched Natalie from the corner of her eyes. Something was off with her. Even with a permanently distracted state of mind, Toni could clock signs of Natalie not being what she seemed.

She was really stiff, unnaturally, so. Most people would be really fidgety when in a new place. She didn’t look uncomfortable, per se, and she wasn't so comfortable that it seemed like she had no emotions at all. Natalie just seemed...chill. Toni decided to test Natalie. Was it nice? Probably not, but she needed to figure out what was going on.

“So, Natalie, where are you from?” Toni asked.

“Ashland Oregon.”

“I’ve only been to Portland. Do you have any siblings?”

“No, I’m an only child like you. I’m not really close to my family.”

“That sucks. But friends are so much better than family, if your family’s shit.”

“I just moved here so I’m not close with anyone yet.”

“Well this is kind of a crazy place to meet people but the parties are still really fun.”

“Ah, partying hasn’t been my thing recently.”

“Recently? So was there a time it was?”

“Well, I had a bit of wild stage in high school and college. But I got my head back on straight at the end of college. I had to make sure to get good enough grades in class to get a job like this. ”

“What was your poison of choice?”

“Rum, weed the usual stuff”

Toni traced her eyes over Natalie, there hadn’t been enough pause, hadn’t been enough shame. She did smile, though, and lean into the table. Gave Toni a bright smile. It was charming, and she was for sure hot, but Toni knew fake people, had lived with them.

After eating Toni sucked in a large breath. It was time to enact the next part of her plan.

“Hey, can I show you something in the lab?” Toni asked.

“Sure. Visiting the lab is always a mix of cool and a disaster” Pepper said, turning to Natalie who shrugged and slid off the chair.

Down in the lab, Toni sat in her chair glanced behind her. Both women were watching her expectantly. Toni clicked on the keyboard and the design for her next Stark Pad came up.

“In between my Iron Queen life and having to go to your meetings I actually finished this design.” Pepper walked forward and slid through the specs on the screen. While Pepper was looking away, Toni kicked her foot under the table and caused a pile of stacked up raw material and tools crash to the ground. Pepper jumped and yelped like any normal person should. Toni watched Natalie closely as the redhead also quietly jumped, and then quickly assumed a fighting stance. Natalie’s eyes snapped around the whole room, not to the site of the crash. Yeah, she wasn’t someone ex-party girl PA.

Great, someone was in her house who was lying to her about, well, maybe about everything. Why did people keep making her life so fucking complicated?

Not Even Sunflowers Can Grow in Our Toxic Love Part.2

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Tony Stark

Word Count: 1k

Warnings: Non

Summery: It’s October in 1995, Tony Stark is 24. All he need is coffee and his lab. Then he meets Steve Rogers an artist. They fall in love. They face the world together. Yet, sunflowers can’t grow in their love, but that’s okay morning glory can. That should be enough.

A/N: Hello, Humans. This is a fan-fiction that I’m working on. I hope you like it. This will also be posted on ao3 with the same title. I will let you guys know there will be somethings that I will tag as I go. I’m doing this not to deceive anyone, but the tags would be spoilers. Any ways I hope you enjoy.

When Tony walked in Steve looked up and smiled at him. Tony walked over to him smiling at Steve’s smile.

“Hi, Steve” Tony said putting his hand out for Steve to shake.

“Hello, Tony.” Steve responds, “Should we go and order?” he asked Tony shyly. Tony found it cute.

“Yeah lets do that.”

“Okay” They both stood there for a solid minute before they broke down and started laughing. They walked over to the counter where another college student stood. “ What can I get you?” He asked.

“Umm, do you have coffee?” Tony asked both Steve and the student looked at him weird.

“No, Sir we don’t serve coffee here.” the student replied.

“Dang. I guess I will get the New York cheese, please. Also what superman over here wants.” Tony said saddened by the lack of coffee.

“I will get a slice of pepperoni, and I’m paying.” Steve said.

“That will be $6.76.” they said.

Steve paid and the student walked off to make their order. The boys made their way over to the table Steve had already chosen. Tony sat there not knowing what to say.

“So, what was with the weird pick up line?” Steve asked.

“Will that is a long story.” Tony laughs. He eyes Steve not sure whether he really wants to hear or just asked.

“Well it got you my number, so I think I need to hear the story.” Steve smiled.

“Okay first you need to know is I’m Tony Stark.” Steve’s eyes widen and his mouth makes an O shape. “Any ways my dad is fucking old. Back in World War 2, do you know how weird it is to say that your dad was alive and doing shit in World War 2. When you are in 24 in 1995. My dad worked for the government at 25. He was the head of this weird gov. project. Howard wanted to make super soldiers. They wanted to make people look like you, a blond superman. So they tested it on three different men. The results were all the same.” Tony paused,” Nothing. Dr Erskine thought that maybe they needed someone who wasn’t at their prime. The problem was that they had run out of the serum and then funding.” Tony looked at Steve.

“Wow, that is crazy. Wait how are you 24 yet your dad was 25 during World War 2?” Steve asked

“Now that is less crazy.So my dad-” Tony was interrupted by the college student bring them their food. Tony went straight into eating his slice. It was burning hot and definitely had burned a few taste buds, but much like his coffee Tony didn’t care. He was half way through the pizza when he noticed that Steve had only taken a couple bites.

“Everything good?” Tony asked.

“Yeah sorry just not very hungry,” Steve looked at Tony and turned red. “So what is the rest of your story.”

“Oh yeah. My dad had decided that he needed to focus on his work. He end up freezing his swimmers. When he met my mother he had her do this experimental procedure. It froze her eggs like it did to his sperm. In 1970, Howard had decided he wanted a kid. Honestly I don’t know why, so on May 29, 1971 I was born. The had a surrogate carry me do to my mother's age. They were both 54 when I was born.”

Steve looked at him in aww. Tony had butterflies swarm again. In hopes of settling them done he worked on finishing his pizza.

“We have talked way too much about me. What about you my blond superman. Tell me about your life.” Tony said, Steve turned red at the complement Tony gave him.

“Well I grow up in Brooklyn. I never knew my dad, so it was just me and my mom. I was a sickly kid. Always in and of the hospitable. It was okay though I had my best friend Bucky to help me with it.” Steve had paused,”Oh, I got into more fights than I could even win. To be honest I never won any of them. Bucky would always rush in and save my skinny ass all the time. Those were the days.” Steve stopped again looking saddened at what comes next,”Our senior year Buck had this motorcycle. He loved the dang thing. It was raining and dark. He says that he didn’t see the car tell he was on the ground.” Steve swiped away a few tears,and Tony reached over grabbed his hand. Steve smiled at Tony.” The driver of the car was going to fast and hydro planned. Bucky lost his left arm in the crash. He says the worst part is he can’t ride his bike anymore. He had it fixed up. It’s just sitting there waiting for him to give it up.”

After Steve talked about his friend Tony started thinking of how someone go on making an arm that would work like a normal one.

“Okay,” Steve laughed,” Lets talk about happy things. What are you majoring in? I’m going in to art and history aka I’m going to be an art historian. At least I hope so.” Steve smiled.

“Oh, I’m working on my Phd’s right now in physics and engineering. I’m in this high level physics class, and the TA is shit. The professor has this idiot teaching. I’m always correcting him on everything. He makes me rethink my choice to though high school at a normal pace.” Tony laughed.

“Wait you are 24 and getting your Phd in physics and engineering. Hold on what engineering are you going in too?” Steve asked bewildered.

“Of course I’m getting my Phds. My dad says that I a failure ‘Tony you should have been out of college before you were 20. How are you my son.’” Tony said imitating Howard's voice.”Me and Howard never agreed on much. Anyways enough about me. Why art?”

“Honestly, I love art. I love the emotion that art holds. Sometimes the artist doesn’t know the emotion the painting holds until years later. Even then it holds a moment in time that the artist found important.” Steve looks down and shakes his head.” I know that sounds strange, but really that’s why I went in to art. That and I like to draw. From what I hear I’m pretty good at it.”

Both of them went quiet after that. Tony looked down at the time. To his surprise it was almost nine. They been talking for a good 3 hours. Almost on cue Steve said that he needed to get home to do an early shift the next day. They both stood and walked outside.

“So could we do this again?” Steve asked.

“Yes and soon hopefully.” Tony smiled, he hadn’t realized him and Steve where closer. “Really soon.”

“Yeah, soon would be good.” Steve got even closer, “Can I?” Tony didn’t bother responding with words. He closed the small distance and their lips met. Tony pulled away breathless and smiling.

“Goodnight. Text me blond superman.” Tony laughed. He couldn’t stop smiling the rest of the night.
