I Am Iron Woman

Chapter 17:

(Tony POV)

"Tony hack the system now." Derek ordered.

"I'm working on it." I answered back.

I opened up the closest file.

It's a prototype for Taylor's suit.

"Tony look behi.." He was interrupted by me doing a back flop after being lifted and flipped over someone's shoulder.

Once my vision aligned I saw it was Taylor.

It was only Derek and I on the roof right now. Everyone else had taken position for 'operation savior'.

She came at me again. I rolled over and her foot landed inches from where my head had just been.

How to fight someone I can't hurt?

I looked over at Derek who was sneaking behind her to inject the antidote into her neck.

I guess my shift in focus alerted her of Derek because she grabbed the needle centimeters away from her neck. He pushed harder for the needle to reach her neck.

I watched as it got closer, and closer. Until finally it entered.

She collapsed on top of me.

Awkwardly I rolled her over.

"Good work."

"Not so fast Tony." A female voice said from behind.

I looked over my shoulder to see Pepper.

She was glowing. Literally.

Extremis.

It's still In her. She could blow up any second.

"Don't move." She ordered.

I froze.

"Good boy. You know I have been thinking. How fun it would be to have you on our side Tony. I mean you are a philanthropist. We could use one. So I will cut you a deal. You join us, and I let her live."

I was confused by the last part until Pepper pulled out a gun, and aimed it at Taylor's head.

I was stunned.

"And you traitor drop the antidote before I blow you off the roof." Her attention was now on Derek.

He did as she wished and it slid down the roof almost to the edge but got caught on something.

She turned her attention back to me.

Then from behind her was a shiny metal glare.

It's Thor.

Pepper must've noticed the shift in my focus, because she turned around, and as she did Thor plunged the antidote into her neck.

Pepper collapsed onto the roof.

"2 down 1 to go."

"We still have 1hour until sun-up." I observed.

"We'll then we better hurry." Thor replied.

"But we can't just leave them here!"I complained.

"Fine, I will stay here and guard them." Derek offered.

"Ok, but I swear if you do anything to harm them, you will not want to be within 10miles of me." I threatened.

He nodded his head, and I left not to sure if I should trust him.

We started jumping roofs until we got to what looked to be like a house. But you know with cobwebs and stuff.

The window to the attic was open, so I swung in, landing loudly on a creaky, wooden floor.

I stopped unsure if I should move, but Thor didn't check to see if I had moved, and landed on me.

"Get off me you big oaf!"

"Whoops, sorry I forgot, you humans are tiny and fragile."

"We'll at least when we talk, it doesn't make the children cry!"

"Guys, just shut up!" Captain said startling me. How had he gotten here so fast, and so quietly.

"The Russians knew we were coming, but they don't know where we are, and if you to start clawing at each other like chicks fighting over a purse, they will find us, and they will kill us. i don't know about you guys, but I don't want to die today! So let's keep moving."

His speech was rather convincing, so I pulled my self up off the ground.

(Mrs.America POV)

I continued trying to pick the lock to the garage where I am assuming Taylor's suit is.

"It's not in there." I heard a voice from behind me.

I turned to see Derek, and let out a relieved sigh.

"How would you know?"

"Because I'm the one who hid it."
