"Tony?" Pepper's voice came quietly from the opened doorway as she peeked her head around the corner, knocking softly against the wooden paneling of the door simply to alert him of her presence before she came barging in. "Tony...are you alright? I got a call from Jarvis and he said that I needed to come right over."
She walked her way into his room and saw him now, splayed out across his bed in nothing but a pair of his boxers, his body giving a small shivering as the cold air of the room breezed across this sweat-covered skin. His eyes followed her as she made her way inside and she was actually rather startled to see how reddened those eyes looked from lack of sleep and the pale, sickly look of his skin around his face.
"Wow, Boss," she murmured softly, moving to sit just along the edge of his bed. "You look like hell."
Reaching out her hands, she pressed those cool palms to his cheeks, frowning at the heat that radiated from him there. Another touch was given to his forehead...another lower down on his neck.
"Jarvis, would you please give me a reading of his temperature?"
Mr. Starks body temperature is currently at 102.5 degrees.
Something in those green eyes softened as she looked down upon the poor man with a genuine look of compassion. She slid her fingers back along through his hair, noting that it was wet with his sweat.
"When did this start?" she murmured, looking down into those dark eyes of his that seemed to not really want to focus on her just right through his feverish haze. "Have you taken anything for it yet?"
