Double Agent (Fem Reader X Tony Stark)

Chapter 7 - Expo

Happy drives Pepper and I to the Expo, we sit down as Justin Hammer comes out on stage dancing.

"Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Thanks for coming. Ladies and gentlemen, for far too long, this country has had to place its
brave men and women in harm's way, but then the Iron Man arrived, and we thought the days of losing lives were behind us. Sadly, that technology was kept out of reach. That's not fair. That's not right. And it's just too bad."

"Oh, Lord." Pepper whispers.

"Regardless, it was an impressive innovation, one that grabbed headlines the world over. Well, today, my friends. the press is faced with quite a different problem. They are about to run out of ink. Ladies and gentlemen, today I present to you the new face
of the United States military. The Hammer drone." He turns as the floor opens up in sections and large drones come up. "Army! Navy! Air Force! Marines! Yeah! That's a hell of a lot better than some cheerleaders, let me tell you. But as revolutionary as this technology is, there will always be a need for man to be present in the theatre of war. Ladies and gentlemen, today I am proud to present to you the very first prototype in the Variable Threat Response Battle Suit and its pilot, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes."

"What?" Pepper asks in shock as another suit like Tony's appears.

"For America and its allies, Hammer Industries is reporting for..." we all look up as we see Tony's suit flying down. I narrow my eyes as the three talk.

Suddenly all the suits, including Rhodey's aim for Tony. He flies up, causing the drones to shoot up at the glass ceiling. Pepper follows me out of the crowd and back stage as Justin talks to two men on computers.

"He's locked us out of the mainframe."

"Who's locked you out of the mainframe?" Pepper asks angrily.

"Please, please, go away. Go away. I've got this handled."

"Have you now?" Pepper asks.

"Yes, I do. In fact, if your guy hadn't showed up,
this wouldn't be happening. So please, now go away. Thank you." He leans down to whisper in the mans ear. "Listen, we got to get
these bitches out of here-" I grab his arm and twist it behind his back as I slam him on the desk.

"You tell me who's behind this. Who's behind this?" I growl, pulling his arm back tighter.

"Ivan. Ivan Vanko."

"Where is he?" I ask.

"He's at my facility."

I let go of him and walk into a small hall, I find my way back to the car. "Nobody's answering the phone! What's going on?" Happy yells.

"Get in the car. Take me to Hammer Industries." I nod.

"I'm not taking you anywhere."

I turn around on my heels, "Fine. You want me to drive?"

"No, I'm driving. Get in the car." He nods.

I quickly get into the back seat and hold on as he quickly drives off. I reach up and unpin my hair, "When we arrive, I need you to watch the perimeter." I look down as I unzip my dress from the front, pulling it off of me. "I'm gonna enter the facility and take down the target." Suddenly cars honk at us and our car swerves. I look up, "Watch the road."

"I got it. I got it." He says as I lean back to slip on my suit.

When we pull up to Justin's facility, I look up at Happy. "Stay in the car."

"I'm not staying in the car."

He gets out with me, "I said, stay in the car." I step up to the door.
