Juggling an identity ~spiderman~

chapter 2

(Civil War didn't happen in this)

Aaaanndd he was late. Again.

Late to what? To a meeting obviously. It's not like this was out of the blue. Tony was always late for everything. He liked being the centre of attention, so making a dramatic entrance was always his thing. But this time tony was late, late. Like really late. 

Pepper said the meeting was at 3:45 pm. So tony was planning to show up at 3:50 pm. But guess what? 

Right now it's 4:30.

Great, it's not like tony listened to a word being said in his meetings anyway. He always just played on his phone and pretended like he was listening. 

Pepper always did all the talking. But the problem was that she was already mad at Tony. Nowadays it's not all unicorns and rainbows with their relationship. They would always argue. He was always out of the house or in his lab. But it's not like Pepper was perfect either. 

Tony felt like Pepper wasn't satisfying him anymore. 

Don't get him wrong, he loved her. Well...

He used to love her.

He didn't know why. He just fell out of love. Right now his main priority was to get to that damn meeting. 

The billionaire was tying his tie while also attempting to put on his shoes. Quickly gelled his hair back and popped a mint in his mouth.

 Running out the door a robotic voice stopped him.

"Sir, the meeting will be finishing in approximately 2 minutes. I recommend just waiting for Mrs Potts to come back home as she will be on her way soon." FRIDAY spoke. 

FRIDAY, Stark's Industries Artificial Intelligence.

Tony let out a loud, grumpy and annoyed sigh. The meeting was supposed to finish at 5:40 pm. But it must've cut short. In annoyance, he threw his tie off and made his way to the labs. The iron man suite got damaged last time he used it in battle.

 Nick Fury has been on his ass all month calling him almost every day. Ever since that spiderman dude has beat the Lizard, he has been in the paper. And it made Nick go crazy. Nobody knew that spider's identity. Nobody. SHIELD needed that information.

 They needed spiderman's name and age at the very least. But all they had was an estimated height and that wasn't good enough for Mr eyepatch. 

Tony started unscrewing some bolts in the iron arm. When he was trying to cooperate with spidey, he wouldn't budge. Stubborn little spider. That little shit caught Tony mid punch and bent his suite with only his grip. Spiderman was strong that was for sure. Most likely nearly as strong as thor, or maybe even stronger. 

Pepper's Pov

I was fuming. He had missed yet another meeting. This was the third time in a row. Their meeting ended shorter than expected because Tony never showed up. They needed Tony to sign and discuss on some important paperwork.

 But of course, he never came. I am so done with this. I have been working my ass off for hours everyday overworking myself and all Tony did all day was drink and lock himself in a cramped messy underground lab. 

I stomped my way inside, thanking my driver. "FRIDAY, Is Tony in his laboratory?" I asked, clearly not even attempting to hide my anger. FRIDAY responded with a yes. With that, I took a deep breath and went to the master bedroom to cool off.
