Characters: Pepper Potts, Tony Stark
Setting: Stark Tower/offices
Content: Jerkiness, Crying
Summary: Tony's alive, didn't think to tell anyone
Pepper couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't work.
She sat in the office, face lit by the glow of the computer screen, staring blankly and wiping wiping tears from her face. Tony was gone. Tony was dead. Dead and gone. Gone in space. No hope of getting him back gone. All ready the board was pushing to take over, for Pepper to suss out who was in charge, and what went to whom, and no one seemed quite as upset by all this as they should have been.
She abandoned her own office in favor of Tony's. It still smelled like him, odd considering how little time he spent here, and the screen saver flipped between pictures of cars and scantily clad women, sometimes both.
She could have handed off control of the company in an instant, she knew where all the paper work, and legal things were, but some part of her still stubbornly held on, just as it always had, even from the first time Tony had gone missing and come back a super hero.
Tony had always been her hero, even before the suit.
