PEPPER
New York is in ruins. Cars have crashed into buildings, people are crying in the streets and people have disappeared with no explanation.
I turn at the last moment as a car comes straight towards me, I duck down, arms protecting my face when I hear a crash.
I open my eyes and see Thor standing above me, Rocket on his shoulder, having stopped the car from driving into me.
'We must go.' He says, taking me by the waist and flying up so fast my head spins. We land outside the Avengers compound.
'What the hell?' Is all I can manage, as I fall to one side, on the verge of passing out.
'Have you heard from Tony?' Thor asks to my horror.
'He's not with you?' I ask.
'Bruce said he was with the spider boy and Doctor.'
'I'll call him. Give me a second.' I get out my phone and dial his number. It rings but he doesn't pick up. I close my eyes and breathe in; this means nothing. He'll be back.
'Are you hurt?' Thor asks, coming to my side as he sees me clutching at my stomach and doubling over.
'I, no, I'm...I'm pregnant.' I say quietly. Thor steps back slightly, surprised.
'Congratulations. Tony must be thrilled. It is Tony's child?' He asks, innocently.
'Of course it's Tony's. He already knew too. He knew before I did. I'd been feeling sick for a week or so and I took a test after he mentioned it. And now I don't know if he's alive or not.' I lean against the wall and Thor is instantly beside me.
'You must relax. Tony is fine, I'm sure of it. I apologise for taking you so abruptly, I did not realise you were with child.'
'Forget about it.' I say, accepting Thor's arm around my waist to keep me upright, and following him as he leads me into the compound.
