Iron Woman - (Fem Iron man X Pepper)

Chapter 56 - Space

Two years

Two long years have passed.

Pepper and I are officially engaged...I proposed the right way. Got her a custom ring.

My tech has gotten even more enhanced, now I wear an Arc Reactor on my chest...that holds my suit.

Pepper and I have been going on runs together...getting in shape.

"Slow down, slow down. I'm totally not kidding." I laugh.

"You're totally rambling."

"No, I'm not." I slow down.

"Lost me."

"Look, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"Okay, and then you're like, Oh my god, there's no bathroom, what am I gonna do?, Oh! Someone's watching, I'm gonna go in my pants." I nod.

"Right. And then you wake up, and in real life you actually have to pee."

"Yes." I point.

"Yeah. Everybody has that."

"Right! That's the point I'm trying to make. Apropos of that, last night, I dreamt, we had a kid. So real. We named him after your eccentric uncle. Uh, what was his name? Morgan! Morgan." I point.

"So you woke up, and thought that we were..."

"Expecting." I nod. "Did you end up going to that clinic? I know we've been talking-"

"Yeah."

"Yes?" I get excited.

She shakes her head, "No."

"I had a dream about it. It was so real." I sigh.

"If you wanted to have a kid, you wouldn't have done that." She taps the Arc Reactor on my chest.

"I'm glad you brought this up, 'cause it's nothing. It's just a housing unit for nano particles." I nod.

"It's not helping your case, ok?"

I shake my head, "No, no, it's an attachment, it's not a-"

"You don't need that."

I nod and sigh, "I know. I had the surgery. I'm just trying to protect us. The future uses, and that's it. Just in case there's a monster in the closet, instead of, you know..."

"Shirts?"

"You know me so well. You finish all my sentences." I smile.

"You should have shirts in your closet."

"Yeah. You know what there should be? No more surprises. We're gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Win-stone. Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you." I kiss the top of her hand.

"Yes."

"I will." I smile and kiss her.

Suddenly a man steps out of portal, "Y/N Stark, I'm Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way." He nods.

"I'm sorry, you giving out tickets or something?" I ask.

"We need your help. Look, it's not overselling to say that the fate of the universe is at stake."

"And who's we?" I ask.

Bruce then comes out, "Hey, Y/N."

My eyes widen in shock, "Bruce?"
