Summary
She leaves on a Tuesday.
There is a part of Tony that is surprised—the part that keeps him in denial about the hard parts of life, the part that takes Pepper for granted far too often even though he knows he shouldn't. And then there’s another part of him, the part that isn’t surprised at all that she’s leaving.

Summary
As he stumbles forward, he realizes the scene around him looks gray, as if the end of the world is upon them and the last place of salvation is moments away from swallowing them whole. His boot connects with a mangled piece of metal and he trips, having just enough strength to reach out and grab the metal bones of some old structure that is no more.

Summary
There is a snap.
There is a flash of blinding white light.
And then the world turns upside down on itself, taking Pepper with it without giving her so much as a warning. Her stomach roils as the world around her comes back into focus, a once colorful scene turned to shades of gray with faint hints of orange and red –– an omen, a warning to them all.

Summary
“You think I don’t carry anything? You think I don’t feel the weight of everything?”
“I think,” Pepper says, choosing her words carefully, “that when you’re overwhelmed, you disappear into the suit. Or the lab. Or a bottle. And when I’m overwhelmed, I keep going. Until I can’t anymore. I don’t claim to always understand whatever it is you’re dealing with, but I’ve known you long enough, have seen all of your dark, ugly parts, to know that whatever this is isn’t healthy.”
