Whiplash whispers, "you lose" as his suit starts beeping followed by the rest of the droids.

"All these drones are rigged to blow. We gotta get out of here man" Rhodey states clearly coming to the same conclusion as myself and Tony.
"I could do with a lift" I say towards Rhodey.
"Pepper?" Tony whispers as he takes off with Rhodey joining him all while carrying me.
Tony flying faster then Rhodey flies quickly to the main Pavilion and grabs Pepper just as the Druids begin to explode. All four of us now land on a roof top, with both Tony and Rhodey removing their helmets.
"Oh my God. I can't take this anymore" Petter shouts clearly far too stressed.
"You can't?" Tony asks with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"My body, literally, cannot handle the stress. I never know if you're gonna kill yourself or wreak the whole company" Pepper rants at her boyfriend?
"I think I did okay" Tony say with far too much confidence, even though everything behind him is on fire and exploding.
Pepper turns to Tony, "I quit, I'm resigning. That's it"
"What did you just say? You're done? That's surprising. No, it's not surprising. I get it. You don't have to make excuses" Tony comments trying to be understanding.
"I'm… I'm… I'm not making any excuses" Pepper stutters slightly.
"You actually were just making excuses. But you don't have to" Tony points out calmly.
"No, I wasn't making an excuse. I'm actually very justified" Pepper states trying to seem confident.
"Listen. Hey, hey. You deserve better" Tony says trying to comfort her? I believe he is atleast.
"Well..." she trails off
"You've taken such good care of me. I've been in a tough spot, but you got me through it, so… Right?" Tony continues
"Thank you" Pepper tells him.
"Yeah" Tony says simply.
"This is getting weird" I whisper to Rhodey.
"I agree" he whispers back.
"Should be stop them?" I ask him, as they his friends.
"No, no let this carry out" Rhodey tells me, "this is good blackmail material"
"-I mean, it's like the Presidency" I hear Pepper say as I tune back into the conversation.
They both eventually get over themselves and kiss, forever corrupting my poor innocent eyes.
"Weird." Tony states as they part from each other.
"No. it's not weird" Pepper disagrees quickly.
"It's okay, right?" Tony asks unsure for the moment.
"Yeah" Pepper agrees.
"Run that by me again" Tony says before they start to kiss again.
"I'm not watching any more of this" Rhodey whispers to me.
"I think it was weird" Rhodey speaks out loud this time. "You guys look like two seals fighting over a grape"
"I agree you've tainted my innocence eyes" I agree with my newest friend.
"I had just quit, actually" Pepper starts to explain.
"Yeah, so we're not…" Tony begins before he's interrupted by Rhodey.
"You don't have to do that. We heard the whole thing" Rhodey tells Tony looking all to amused.
"You guys should get lost then" Tony says glaring at us both.
"We were here first. Get a roof" Rhodey quips quickly, maybe I should ask him for some advice on my own quips? Nah I'm Spider-Man I've got quipich for days.
"I thought you were out of one-liners" Tony says glancing at the both of us.
"That's the last one" Rhodey confesses.
"You kicked ass out there, both of you" Tony says taking another glance at me.
"Well I've got experience fight flying meter monkeys" I say.
"I've heard some sort of bird man trying to steal my tech" Tony states.
"Vulture is what he calls himself, also no need to thank me for protecting for tech" I tell him.
"I wasn't going too" Tony says swiftly with a smirk.
"Anyways, Listen, my car got taken out in the explosion, so I'm gonna have to hang on to your suit for a minute, okay?" Rhodey questions rhetorically.
"Nope, Not okay. Not okay with that" Tony counters starting towards Rhodey.
"It wasn't a question" Rhodey says as he takes off immediately.
"Ah man there goes my ride" I say out loud before glancing at Tony. "Tony, old buddy old pal. How about..."
"Not a chance kid" Tony cuts me off.
"Jeez, so rude" I mumble walking to the edge of the building.
"See ya Iron Man" I shout as I leap of the building.
"You too Web-Head" I hear him shout back.
