When Pepper heard the sound of Tony's voice she looked up but knew almost immediately that it wasn't her Tony. It was the other one. The one she'd shoved down the stairs. She felt kind of bad about that now. "Don't.. don't touch me.." she had no idea what would happen if he did touch her, but she didn't really want to find out. "I told you.. you have to.." she trailed off when there was a sharp pain that shot down her body and the tattoo started to grow again just a little bit.
"It feels like I'm being eaten.. alive.. you have to.. stop her.. make sure she doesn't touch anyone ..." she was still worried about others, not herself so much. She knew she was going to die. At the sound of a crash, she tried to sit up. "What was that??" she'd barely been able to see around the Tony in front of her.
