After the events of Whiplash and Mr. Fix's final return, Pepper finished her last semester at Oxford University and returned to the United States once it was deemed safe for her to go back.

Tony and Pepper's four years apart and their experience towards the end made them realize that they never wanted to part again, so instead of finding her own apartment, she just moved in with Tony. It wasn't until closer to Christmas that year that Tony finally sealed the deal and asked Pepper to marry him, Pepper of course, saying yes. After all, how could she resist?

Their lives could go on the way they preferred because Mr. Fix, after being held for a half a year in S.H.E.I.L.D. custody, found a way to break out and reconnect with his favorite assassin, Whiplash, but was caught not too long after the whole fiasco and they decided after a painfully long court trial, the best option for Mr. Fix (which was hard to decide, considering he knew so much about technology and he could always reverse anything they did to him tech wise) was to send him somewhere where they were sure he'd be confined and…as the court judge explained it, treated for his negative personality. But in simple terms it meant that they were going to top-secretly brainwash him. He wouldn't remember a thing from his life. Complete amnesia. It was…for the best. No, unfortunately, Fix had no say in anything, nor did Whiplash. I'd like to have said he did, believe me, but that's just not the way it works.

So in the end, everything worked out for everyone, relatively.

In the end, and in different ways, everyone seemed happy.

Cheesy and weird and short, I know, but I felt like I had to wrap up the story. Soo that's what this is. I hope you enjoyed the story, but I can't guarantee I'm reaching everyone's favorites in a story. Review?
