Pepper was running a little behind as it was, her alarm hadn't gone off when it was supposed to. Being fifteen minutes late on her day was not acceptable. So she'd gotten dressed in a rush and went out to grab breakfast for Tony and his morning latte, yes it was one of those incredibly frustrating specialty ones that had to be just perfect.
As she walked briskly towards his hotel, bluetooth in her ear she started shifting around meetings for him, planning out his day. She stopped to grab the dry cleaning and looked at her watch. She needed to be there in ten minutes so she decided instead of taking the busy sidewalks she'd detour through back ways.
Still talking to some of his business people she was trying to get him out of a press conference that wouldn't budge. So caught up in her conversation she didn't notice the two guys standing ahead of her. That is until she was shoved against an unforgiving brick wall, her cheek being scratched in the process, a few tendrils escaping from her intricately done up hair. The latte splattered all over the ground.
She heard them mutter something as they took her purse. If she hadn't felt the gun pressed against her cheek she wouldn't of thought they had one, just random punks. Pepper didn't frighten easily but this took her off guard completely. Then she heard the rapid footfalls of them retreating, her empty purse dropped to the ground and she turned. Shaking like a leaf she picked it up and sighed. They took the dry cleaning too. Her phone was smashed because it fell to the ground. Things were just getting better.
If Tony couldn't get ahold of her he might panic and that was never good. Forgetting about the breakfast that had fell to the ground she headed right for his penthouse. Once she was there she rushed up and went inside. She didn't see any sign of him yet and headed for the bathroom to clean up before he could start asking questions. She only hoped like hell he wasn't in the shower already.
