Epilogue: Iron Woman

"Tony you know I hate surprises!" Pepper complained as she was guided towards the lab door with Tony's hands clamped over her eyes. Rhodey was holding her hands and slowly guiding her along with him. The two boys exchanged smiles as they paid no regard to Pepper's protests or the scowl on her face.

"Just hold on, will ya Pepper. It's just on the other side of the lab door." Rhodey coaxed as they approached the door and he typed in the password for the door to hiss open and allow them access. Tony's smile grew as he nudged Pepper forward.

"It'll all be worth it…" Tony promised as Pepper took a few cautious steps forward, keeping her arms out just in case she would trip from her lack of sight. Once they were fully into the lab and the door had closed behind them, the ginger haired girl was led to a table.

Rhodey and Tony silently exchanged words; Rhodey giving Tony the okay to remove his hands from Pepper's eyes. Pepper simply stood there, her mouth twisted to the side in annoyance and her arms crossed over her chest.

"Okay Pepper, open your eyes." Tony said as his hands fell from her eyes. She snapped her hazel orbs open and glanced down only to have her eyes widen way past normal size.

"AH! Are you serious!?" She screeched as she did a very high jump. Tony smiled inwardly, proud of himself, not for what he had done, but for being able to make her so happy.

"Yup…say hello to the Mark 1616 also known as Iron Woman." Tony said arrogantly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Resting on the table was in fact an Iron Man armor that was clearly built for a woman by the way it accommodated the female structure and characteristics. It was less broad than the original Iron Man suit and instead of making it red and yellow, it was red and silver matching one of Tony's other suits accordingly.

"Oh my gosh this is beyond amazing!" Pepper exclaimed as she ran a hand down the leg of the armor. She smiled inwardly as she let her fingers linger on the chilled metal.

"I built it to accommodate your electromagnetic powers. It will enhance them and your strength but I didn't bother putting repulse thrusters in it since you can basically fly on your own and I don't think you would really need weapons." Tony exclaimed as he placed a hand on her shoulder. She glanced up from the suit and grinned before tackling him in a hug.

Tony stumbled back a bit as she wrapped her legs around his waist before cupping his cheeks in her hands and jerking his head towards hers in a bruising kiss. It took Tony a moment to get over the initial shock of the bold move and soon enough he began to give back just as much enthusiasm she was giving him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, supporting her, and Rhodey just stared on with his mouth hanging open slightly.

"Um…guys?" Rhodey inserted. He was completely ignored as Pepper pulled away leaning her forehead against Tony's and giving an excited giggle. Tony smiled in return as the two of them gazed into each other's eyes. "Oh, I just might puke!" Rhodey exclaimed. Again he was ignored.

"So I take it that you like the suit?" Tony questioned. Pepper playfully rolled her eyes at him

"Well duh! Talk about best gift you could ever give me!" She exclaimed with a broad grin. "Thank you!"

"Anything for you." He stated in a matter of fact tone. Her grin turned into a tender smile as she placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

"Am I invisible or something!? I'm sorry to cut in on your romantic moment but…" Rhodey was cut off by Pepper shooting a hand out in his direction sending him flying into the closest wall. He hit the wall with a thud before falling to the ground groaning. "Never mind…"

"Where were we?" Pepper asked playfully.

"I'm not going to answer that because of how cliché it sounded." He retorted flatly. Pepper rolled her eyes for a second time before leaning in for a gentler kiss.

That's it. That's all I wanted to put out there. Keeping in mind that I stole Mark 1616 from the Invincible Iron Man, I have no clue what that comic is about I was just (Shamefully) googling. Anyhoo, now that this story is finished look out for my next one called The Boss. Prepare for steaminess people. I love writing it. Ahaha

Thank you all sooooo much for reading.
