So Worrying

"Aren't you afraid I'll get lost!"

Feeney understood Tony's worried tension and replied helplessly, "If there's any problem, call me. In an emergency, report your location first, the more detailed the better!"

"Thanks!"

At this moment, Tony was very grateful to Feeney. He didn't know why Feeney was helping him so much, but he could feel the sincerity. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said softly, "I'm very sorry about what happened before!"

Feeney, under invisibility, had a look of shock. It was only after interacting with Tony that he understood his personality better. He was very surprised and curious that Tony could apologize.

"Has he left already?"

Seeing no one answer after a few seconds, Tony thought Feeney had left and muttered, "Rude kid, this is Tony Stark's apology."

"So I should record it and keep it well!?"

Feeney came back to his senses and teased him when he heard this.

"..."

Tony's expression turned sour again. Fortunately, he was concerned about Pepper's safety at this time, otherwise, they would probably argue about this topic for a long time.

"Then I'll go look for her."

Feeney didn't forget his purpose and prepared to search for Pepper's whereabouts.

"Wait a minute." Tony suddenly remembered something. He found a door card from a corner of the office and held it up, saying, "This is my door card, take it with you."

Feeney took it without politeness. He figured if Obadiah really caught Pepper, he wouldn't just leave her in the hallway.

The two parted ways. Feeney had no specific direction, just looking for rooms that seemed empty. After a while, he suddenly thought of a problem.

When the phone call came, there probably weren't many people around, otherwise, they wouldn't have asked him for help. Considering they were in Stark Tower, the most likely place to be attacked was the office.

Pepper Potts was a grown woman, and Obadiah was an old man. Considering both ability and secrecy, he couldn't have taken Pepper very far.

Thinking of this, Feeney immediately returned and began searching around the office. Finally, he heard some noises from a storage locker in a room and found Pepper Potts, who was imprisoned and looked pale and weak.

After dispelling 'Possessed by Evil Spirit', Feeney returned to his normal state and rescued Pepper.

"Hello, my name is Feeney Hals, Tony's... friend!"

Then, Feeney introduced himself, but he hesitated slightly when using the word "friend" because he wasn't sure if Tony considered him a friend.

"Are you the boy Tony mentioned?"

Looking at Feeney, Pepper asked weakly, her eyes still showing traces of blood, as if she had suffered some torture at Obadiah's hands.

"Tony mentioned me?"

Feeney was surprised again. However, he thought that since Pepper could call him, it must be because of Tony. He just didn't know how Tony had described him.

Pepper nodded with difficulty and then urged anxiously, "Quickly tell Tony that Obadiah sent people to kidnap me. He also built a hidden facility in Sector 16 of the Arc Reactor Project."

"It's okay, Tony already knows." Feeney comforted Pepper, then took out his phone to call Tony, but suddenly realized he didn't know Tony's number. The call he received last time was clearly processed.

"Do you know Tony's number?"

Fortunately, Tony's assistant was nearby. Feeney handed over his phone and said, "He's in the building now, looking for Obadiah. You call him first to let him know."

Pepper skillfully dialed the number, but no one answered after a long wait.

"This guy..."

Feeney's expression changed, and a sudden ominous premonition arose in his heart. He asked Pepper, who was sitting on the ground, "Can you stand up?"

Pepper nodded and struggled to stand up, then asked worriedly, "Did something happen to Tony?"

"I think he might have run into Obadiah."

Feeney voiced his guess and then sighed worriedly, "Where do you think he'd go to find Obadiah?"

"Follow me!"

Pepper was probably more familiar with Stark Tower than Tony. Hearing this, she immediately had an idea and invited Feeney to go with her. However, before they left, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Right, let's call the police first. I know an agent named Coulson, we can call him first."

Phil Coulson, Feeney certainly knew him, a busy man in S.H.I.E.L.D., and one of the few subordinates Director Nick Fury trusted.

"No rush, calling an agent will just make things more troublesome."

Feeney didn't want to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D., so he stopped Pepper from making the call. "Let's find Tony first. Don't worry, I have ways to protect you."

If it were just Obadiah, Feeney could fight ten of them without breaking a sweat, even without 'Possessed by Evil Spirit'.

Hearing Feeney's words, Pepper was still hesitant, but when she saw Feeney equip 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' and turn invisible again, she finally chose to believe him.

Pepper stumbled all the way to a room, which seemed to be the main monitoring room. Only Tony was inside, sitting in a chair with his back to them.

"Tony!"

Seeing Tony, Pepper cried out joyfully, but Tony didn't turn around and remained motionless.

The two noticed something was wrong and quickly ran over, only to find Tony sitting in the chair, his face ashen, eyes filled with pain, and a hint of relief at seeing Pepper. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something.

Of course, most importantly, the Miniature Arc Reactor in his chest, which kept his heart beating, was nowhere to be seen.

"You two really don't make things easy!"

Feeney deactivated his invisibility and looked at Tony's state with a troubled sigh. He anxiously asked Pepper, "Does he have a spare at home?"

He was genuinely afraid his arrival might influence Tony. If he hadn't kept the old one, what would they do next?

Watching Tony in pain, Pepper was flustered and didn't know what to do. Seeing Feeney suddenly appear and speak, she finally snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Yes, in the Studio. I'll go get the car!"

Feeney secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No need, that's too slow. You support him."

This was Stark Tower in New York. If they waited for Pepper to drive back to Los Angeles, Tony would probably be dead by then. Fortunately, he had already learned to create Portals. Otherwise, there might be no Iron Man in the future.

Pepper didn't understand Feeney's meaning at first, but when she saw an orange-red Fire Ring appear before her eyes, she was startled. Especially when she realized the scenery on the other side was the Studio, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Quick, get him inside."

Activating the Portal, Feeney came to Pepper's side and helped support Tony together. Seeing her stunned expression, he couldn't help but say again, "Don't worry, this is just a Portal. It won't hurt you."

Pepper reacted. The most important thing now was to save Tony first.

There's a recommended spot in the Afternoon, hehe! (^▽^)
