pepper lead a march down the halls of shield hq. her crystal blue eyes stared ahead, pointed towards her goal and nothing else. the white catsuit she wore caused whispers to float up around her, but she had the patience to pay them no mind.

"director potts. don't. stark will kill you." an agent following behind pepper said.

another agent poked the one who spoke. "don't get on the directors bad side if you want to survive in shield."

pepper stopped at stark's door. the room had no windows. printed on the door were the words stark, anthony edward.

"he won't kill me. i used to know him."

she pulled out a key and unlocked the door.

stark looked up at her, eyes glowing red. he had a straitjacket on, confining his arms. the agents behind pepper quivered. pepper stood completely still, staring directly into stark's eyes. each hand rested on top of a holstered gun on the outsides of her legs.

"tony." she greeted.

he grunted. she pulled a blue combat knife out of her right boot and cut tony out of the jacket. the room was instantly filled with a red aura.

"director why would you do that? he's a pyschopath!"

"i would run." pepper warned. tony was on his hands and knees, the red aura radiating out from him.

"director-"

"go, i'll be fine."

tony let out a scream, the red mist radiating out from him, before standing up and running at pepper. she held her hand out, a white aura so similar to tony's appearing around her hand. her eyes glowed a bright white. tony stopped.

the knife that she had cut the straitjacket with floated in mid air, pepper's white aura surrounding it.

"stand down tony." she spoke through telepathy.

he shook his head and edged around the knife, pushing pepper against the wall. he pulled his fist back and went to punch her, but she flipped out of the way, and his fist went through the wall where her head was seconds ago.

pepper's body became surrounded in the white aura and she started to levitate.

the knife lifted up and flew towards tony. it stopped a mere centimetre from his heart.

slowly, pepper's aura filled the room. she floated gracefully in mid air, looking down at tony sadly. he shook his head and growled. his red aura filled the room again. pepper pushed her hand forward and to the left. the knife pierced tony's skin. blood instantly dripped from his chest. he looked down at the knife and back up at pepper. he fell to the floor, propped up against the wall.

she closed her eyes, a tear running down her cheek. she floated to the ground, where her white aura formed roses on the floor. the white gradually darkened to grey, and then black.

she knelt next to tony and pulled the knife out of his chest. deep red blood spurted out of the wound, running down his bare chest and pooling beneath him.

"pepper?" he whispered, eyes widening.

she held her hands over the gushing wound and the black aura appeared. within seconds, the cut was gone.

"just how powerful is the director?" one of the agents whispered.

"i didn't even know she had those weird mind powers like him." another whispered.

pepper stood and pulled tony up with her.

"you don't know. of course you don't." pepper looked at tony, then back at the agents.

"did she always have a wedding ring on?" an agent asked.

pepper shot a blast of black aura out of her hand at the destroyed detainment room.

"he's my husband. that's how i knew he wouldn't kill me. we're the stark couple. he didn't sign the accords, i did. he was arrested, i wasn't."

"pep-"

"tony they deserve to know. we've fooled the whole world. he then got caught using his powers, and because it was against the sokovia accords he was arrested. i was the one that put him here. i saved him. the only agents allowed down here are usually level 8 or above, which is why his door had his actual name, not his fake one, because those agents get told explicit details."

tony looked at pepper, hurt in his eyes. she cocked her head. the knife that pepper stabbed tony with floated out, dripping with tony's blood. pepper looked disappointed.

"you didn't recognise me. i had to do something."

"pep..."

pepper turned and hugged tony, burying her face in his shoulder. he held onto her tight, resting his chin on top of her head.

"i'm sorry" she spoke sadly.

"you had no option. all i remember is being stabbed and seeing you next to me..."

"guys i hate to ruin the moment, but there's a bunch of UN people and police here." one of the agents announced.

"fuck" tony shouted.

pepper looked at tony sadly. "go." she commanded.

"but pep, you-you'll die."

"i don't care. you deserve to be free."

"how can i be free without you by my side" he retorted. 

pepper raised her arms above her head. black wings appeared on her back. she pulled out the guns from the holsters on each of her legs. she noticed the snipers on her, all the guns pointed at her. tony flew up and joined pepper. she threw a gun at him. he caught it.

bang. bang. bang. bang. bang. five police dead in two seconds. all shot through the head or the heart. scarlet blood spurted out of the gunshot wounds. the sound of something moving through air at high speeds. three UN representatives with knives lodged into their skulls. Tony floated, staring at his wife.

red and black aura combined. a huge blast of maroon killed most of the remaining people. pepper shot each one to be sure.

"white widow. red widow. they'll come for you." a police officer gargled, mouth full of blood. he spat it out. pepper threw a knife into his heart. 

"didn't know I was a spider." pepper snarked.

"didn't know i was an itsy bitsy spider either." tony remarked.
