Mind of a STARK [2]

"Hi sweetheart." Pepper sits down at our table looking around confused. "Isabel, where's Tony?"

We were currently in Monaco, about to see the grand prix, since Tony had bought a race car that was competing in the race.

"I don't know. He just told me to watch some TV while he's gone." I shrugg, remembering Tony guiding me to our table and telling me to stay there while he goes do God knows what.

"Seriously? He just left you here alone. God when I see him I am going to kill him. Does he not know how dangerous it is for you to alone right now?! He said he was gonna be more responsible..." Pepper continued her rant. I've already gotten used to it, she does it, alot. But I kind of find it funny cause she acts like a worried wife. While Pepper kept rambling on about how unresponsible it was to leave me alone, I look up at the TV and almost choke on my food.

"Just stay here and look at the TV okay? Look at the tv don't leave. You'll see me soon enough " Tony's words now making sense.

I turn to look at Pepper and try to get her attention.  "Um Pepper-" she kept rambling "Pepper! You're gonna want to see this..." I get her attention and point at the TV screen. She confusedly looked at the screen only to let out a gasp.

"Oh my god! Natalie. Natalie!"

"Yes, Ms Potts?"

"What do you know about this?" Pepper points at the screen.

Natasha looks up at the screen seeing Tony getting ready to race.

"This is the first that I have known of it."

"Did he tell you he was going to do this?" Pepper asks me.

"No, I had no clue" this was extremely reckless even for Tony. He might be Iron man but he's not indestructible especially without the suit on.

"This- this cannot happen."

"Absolutely. I understand. How can I help you?" Natasha asks.

"Where’s Happy?"

"He’s waiting outside."

"Okay, get him. I need Happy." Pepper sends Natasha away as her eyes glue to the screen.

We watch as Tony does surprisingly good at the race. Pepper was still very tense as she watched the race. I don't know when it happened but at some point during this whole race Pepper had grabbed my hand trying to reassure me everything was gonna be okay, but Im pretty sure it was just for her, cause I was decently calm. Well... was that is.

A man in an orange jump suit walks onto the track taking out two large looking whips. His shirt starts burning off as he walks towards the approaching race car. In an instant the car was split in half making it go flying.  This can't be good... Tony, he's gonna go for Tony.

Thankfully Happy showed up right on time with the Iron man case in hand. In an instant Pepper and I were on our feet trailing behind Happy and on to the car. Once we got in we made or way towards the race car track, Happy going well beyond the speed limit. Once we're approaching the gate entrance to the track Happy speeds up even more.

"Hold on!"

Pepper grabs me shielding me just in case, as the car rammed through the gates and onto the track with all the other race cars zooming past us in the opposite direction.

"Happy, Happy, give me the case. The case give it-"  I tell Happy since the case was next to him.

"Take it. Take it! Can't you see I'm driving?!"
