Tony was gone. Dead? No. Just away. He had gone to the Avengers Compound to tell them he had figured out time travel. Hopefully, they would figure this mess out and come out without a scratch.
Knowing Tony, that was not going to happen. Ever.
*a while later*
Tony had just done 'the snap' and he was lying against a rock, on the verge of life and death. Pepper walked up to Tony as Peter was talking to him while Tony smiled at him. Pepper pulled Peter up as he sobbed. She passed him on to Steve who hugged the boy close to him.
"Hey, Tony," Pepper choked out, "We're going to be ok," she forced a smile so that he knew she was going to be ok.
Then he just... died. The light in his arc reactor died, along with the light in his eyes. Pepper let out a sob and placed her head on the chest plate of Tony's suit.
*2 months later*
Pepper was outside her house with Morgan sleeping inside the tent behind her. They were camping outside for the night.
"Hey, Tony, I know I haven't spoken to you for a long time but we're doing ok," Pepper laughed, "You probably know that," Pepper sniffled, "Every night, I sleep with your pillow. I think it still smells like you. That might be because I wash it with a bit of your shampoo. Probably not good for the pillow, but oh well," tears were streaming down Pepper's face, "I-I'm trying to stay happy and strong for Morgan and help her know you as best as she can. But it's just so hard."
Pepper spent the next hour crying outside until Morgan woke up and made her mother go to bed.
