billionaires"Ms. Potts is clear of the structure," comes through his earpiece and Tony holds out his arm to summon the suit back to himself. One gauntlet flies through the air and attaches smoothly (if a bit painful, like his adrenaline isn't canceling that out anyway.) Only half of the suit comes to him before the second impact comes and he's falling fast for the ocean. Not ideal. What is taking the rest of the suit so long? A different model's helmet falls after him and he just barely gets it on and sealed before he breaches the water. He's never been a praying man, but he says a tiny one then and it's the last thing he remembers before JARVIS finally gets his act together and blasts them off for the sky. What he has no way of knowing is that Pepper is still wearing the rest of his suit at takeoff...
Tony barely comes to long enough for a completely unavoidable crash-landing into the snow. He yells right before impact without knowing that Pepper can hear him too through his helmet on her head as she dents the snow nearby. Thankfully, the suit still takes the most of the hit even though they aren't wearing the whole thing properly.
"That's... brisk," he commentates, groaning at the way the nav systems keep blinking out. NOT GOOD. All of this is very not great. "Where are we - upstate? J?"
"Rose Hill, Tennessee, sir."
Tony argues with the AI for a full minute before JARVIS decides he needs a nap. That's when Tony regains his peripheral vision and sees her, forgetting about the snow and the cold as he sprints over to her and falls at her side. This is his biggest screw-up to date, no question.
"Pepper? Pepper! Wake up. Wake up, Pep. I'm sorry... no! Wake up." Tears are gathered in his eyes as he shakes her approaching violently, pausing in between to check her heartbeat though it's impossible to distinguish from the pounding he already hears in his own head.
