CHAPTER LXXIX - YOU HAVE TO BE SHITTING ME! WHAT THE FUCK, TONY?!

May 2010. 11:25. Principality of Monaco, Monaco.

Sophia's POV.

I was sitting in front of Pepper and we started to chit-chat a little.

-Did he really go that strong?.- Pepper asked me as I took a sip of my water and nodded.

-Yup. No filters, no nothing. It's kinda creepy, not gonna lie.- I said as I was telling her about how Justin was hitting on me just mere minutes ago.

I turned to look through the window at the beautiful view of Monaco and the sea at the back. It was truly a magical place and I was loving every bit of it.

As I watched the ocean, a particular pair of eyes came back to my mind, but I quickly shut them away, shaking my head slightly.

Stop it, Sophia. I reprimanded myself.

Just when I turned to look at Pepper, she was about to answer me when her eyes went wide as she looked at some point in the room behind me. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and looked at her quizzically.

-Uhm, Pep?.- I said but she just nodded her head to the front, signaling something with her chin.

I turned around slowly and just when I was searching for what Pepper was talking about, there was no need for me to search a lot, because on the big plasma TV screen that was in one side of the room, the picture of my brother standing in a racing suit, with his name on it, and talking to the camera, was enough for me to know that was what Pepper was referring to.

Tony was in front of his racing car, with a special suit and his glasses on. A man was shouting at him but he just kept on talking to the camera.

"Well, what's the use of having and owning a race car, if you don't drive it"

Just as he finished his line, my eyes went as wide as saucers and my mouth parted slightly.

-No. Fucking. Way. You have got to be shitting me. Shit.- I murmured as I turned to look at Pepper, both of us with our eyes wide and an "Oh my god" look on our faces.

-Natalie. Natalie!.- Pepper said as Natasha came to her, leaning a little bit to talk to Pepper.

-Yes Miss Potts?.- Natasha asked in a sweet voice to Pepper, which in any other circumstances would've made me squirm because of how nice she sounded, but right now I was only thinking about what my idiotic brother was doing at the moment.

-Did you know about this?.- Pepper asked and Natasha turned to look at me for a second, before looking towards the TV and then back at Pepper.

-This is the first time that I have known of it.- Natasha said as she looked back at the TV.

Pepper sighed and shook her head.

-This... This cannot happen.- She said as she shook her head.

-Absolutely I understand.- Natasha said and that was the last I heard as I tuned out her and Pepper's voices.

I started to look around. We needed to do something and we needed to do it now, before my brother kills himself.

I mean, what the hell is he thinking? Lately he's been taking rushed and stupid decisions. Not that he hasn't done that before, but since his kidnapping, he became a little more cautious in what he does and stuff, and now he's just doing this because he feels like it?

Something is seriously wrong and he's not telling me anything.

I turned to look at the TV once again and saw a man, coming out of the safety limit barrier and into the track. He was wearing an orange suit and a helmet, just like the ones people from intervention at the track were using. He stepped out and started to walk to the middle of the way, just as cars passed him by, he disposed of the helmet and then started undoing the zipper from the suit.
