Who: Tony and Pepper
When: Febuary 8, 2014 (backdated, just after this
Where: Sochi, Russia
What: While enjoying the Olympics, the news of a tragedy at home reaches them.
Aside from the politics, the freezing weather, and some of the horrible conditions surrounding the event, Pepper quite liked Russia. It was beautiful, like a music box, and as one of the sponsors, she and Tony had enjoyed watching the qualification events that had begun on Wednesday, leading up to the Opening Ceremony on Friday night. It wasn't their first Olympics, but it was their first as a couple, which gave the trip the air of a vacation for the pair, which was a novelty for her. As this was the first trip they'd taken together that even remotely resembled a vacation, she was determined to enjoy it. Fortunately, Tony seemed to have the same idea.
The Opening Ceremony was wonderful, and Saturday was spent enjoying the highlights of the day's events. They would be there the full two weeks and had mapped out which events neither wanted to miss and which they were willing to skip in order to spend some time together outside the games. It was shaping up to be a wonderful trip.
The call came as they were watching the snowboarders, and Pepper's face went pale. "Tony..." Without signing off, she hung up and did a quick internet search until she found the news feed she'd been told had gone viral. Unable to speak, she grimly passed the phone to him.
