Who: Pepper and Tony
What: Breaking the news about Bruce to Pepper
When: The night after Tony found out that Bruce was gone
Where: The cabin where Pepper and Tony live
Warnings: Language, maybe? Nothing more than that, though.
The drive back from the trailer truck to the cabin was done at record speed, even mowing down some zombies along the way. It had been easy to be relatively calm while he was talking to Maria, but the moment he had started to drive back he found himself unable to figure out how to react. Not really. To say that he was concerned for Bruce and his well being was an understatement, but he was alright. He had to be, right? His mind kept working on formulas, trying to figure out The Other Guy's speed and the distance he could have covered. He tried to picture the map that Maria had given him, tried to connect the dots, but there were too many variables to that formula. Would it be possible to truly figure it out? Would he be able to find him?
As he parked the jeep, it suddenly hit him that he would have to inform Pepper that Bruce had left. Bruce had been a huge help in getting her back to normal after her ordeal the past year, and he wasn't sure how she was going to take the news. It wasn't as if Bruce was gone and dead, because he would most likely be back at some point, but he knew that uncertainty was unbearable. It was that same uncertainty he had felt while Pepper had been missing; the same one that crept in when he thought of Rhodey and wondered where in the hell he was.
Feeling his shoulders slump, he walked into the cabin and sighed as he tossed the baseball cap he had been wearing aside. "Pep?" he called out to her, already intending to go to the lab as soon as he finished talking to her so he could fly out and look for Bruce.
