Pepper got a closer look at Bruce's face, thankfully he wasn't bleeding. Still it was quite the punch Tony had thrown out. Soon enough he was coughing and the bucket came into view. He was in pain and he was suffering it alone like he always did. She watched him with sad eyes wishing she could help, but there was only so much Pepper could do for him. It frustrated her sometimes that she could only manage his work, but Tony had the weight of the world sometimes. "A project? I heard about it... but he won't tell me what. JARVIS what has Tony been up to? There's a project he's been working on right?" she asked.
"My apologies Miss. Potts, but you do not have authorized access to it," JARVIS replied which of course caused her to grunt softly. "Can I leave him with you? Maybe I can try to get into his mainframe from his lab," she mumbled though she was doubtful about it. Still there wasn't much she could do at this point.

Pepper sighed, "I don't know how long he's been ill. He still drinks to the point of getting bad hangovers in the morning... He's been getting five hours of rest a night and he's been snappy. He hasn't been himself really," she explained softly as she followed behind him. She knew he was good at hiding things it was why Pepper hadn't noticed anything until now.
"Tony, he's here to help... You're not feeling good," She explained only to gasp when she saw his fist connect with Bruce's face. "Tony?!" she shouted as she rushed over to Bruce. "Are you okay Mr. Banner? What's gotten into you Tony?" she asked sounding furious with him.

Pepper was ever so thankful to hear that Bruce was here. He had gotten here a lot faster than she expected him to. She squeezed Tony's hand Whispering that she would be right back. Letting go she quickly rushed to the elevator pressing the lobby button a little harder than she normally did.
Once the doors opened she walked out trying her best not to show how worried or panicked she really was. "Dr. Banner, thank you for coming so quickly," she greeted. She had only met him a couple of times and that was when Tony and him were together in the lab. Other than offering coffee or saying hello they hadn't said much. "I'll take you to Tony, he has a temperature... I gave him some medicine for that but I don't know. He's been acting odd and he says... He still has panic attacks..." she explained as she motioned for him to step into the elevator first. It didn't take long for the elevator to reach Tony's floor.

Grunting softly she dug through the cabinets until she found what she needed. Quickly returning to his side she helped him sit up pinching his cheeks so that he would open his mouth. Popping the pills inside she placed the rim of the glass against his lip so he could drink some water. “Bruce is on his way, just hang in there. Are you in pain?” she asked. Her voice was filled with worry as she sat on the bed gazing down at him. She was hurt that he hadn’t mentioned anything about feeling unwell, then again it had been partly her fault for not paying attention. She had assumed he was hung over like he usually was in the morning, but instead he was seriously ill. A fever like that was enough to prove to her that she hadn’t been paying her usual attention to him.
She placed her hand over his hand gazing down at him with worried eyes. “I’m sorry Tony,” she muttered softly. “JARVIS, please inform me when Bruce arrives,” she spoke knowing she would have to go down to the lobby to greet him. JARVIS complied with her demand and repeated that he would inform her the moment he was downstairs.

Pepper frowned, this was obviously serious and he needed help. Still she didn't say anything to Tony knowing he would disagree with the idea and tell her to leave it. She was worried about him, but thankfully she had heard that Bruce was in New York for a bit, she was thankful he hadn't left yet otherwise Tont would have to wait longer or see someone else. Gently she began helping him up doing her best to lift him though it was difficult. He was heavy and she wasn't strong enough, grunting with annoyance she began making her way to the elevator.
"Tony just lean on me, I'm going to get you to bed," she mumbled as she felt sweat rolled down her face. It was like dragging a dead body, still with a bit of time she managed to handle the task. He was now in bed with the covers messily placed over his body. Quickly she turned around to look for medicine that he could take for his fever.

Pepper was alarmed that he had a fever, she hadn’t noticed anything wrong with him physically. He was his usual self except for those outbursts. She wanted to call for an ambulance but she knew that even the hospital and doctors had their limits. Tony wasn’t exactly normal when he had something in his chest, oh god was it failing him? Was that why he was sick? Thought after thought hit her hard as she struggled to swallow down the lump in her throat. “Bruce? Call him JARVIS, explain the situation to him,” she spoke before gently placing his head in her lap.
She needed to get him in a bed but before she could attempt to lift him he woke up panicked and frightened like a child. He wasn’t even trying to conceal it now as she flinched at his loud voice. “Tony.. it’s just me,” she explained softly as she gently wrapped her arms around him holding him. “Listen, I need to get you to bed. You need to take something for your fever,” she murmured softly. “JARVIS has Bruce picked up? Do I need to talk to him?” she asked softly knowing it was best she explained the situation if JARVIS hadn’t already.

Pepper had taken a step back when he grabbed the glass and threw it against the wall. She gasped at the sound of glass shattering, her eyes were fixed on the wall wondering why he was so upset. He was fine just a moment ago and now he was freaking out. Returning her gaze back to him she crouched down to where they were eye level. "Tony talk to me, what's going on?" she asked, her voice unbelievably soft and filled with concern. Her eyes widened when she heard JARVIS mention New York.
"Tony? Hey Tony!?" she called out when she felt herself get pushed back. He ran out of the room without a word and immediately she stood up and ran after him. Soon enough she caught up to him only to find him passed out on the floor, running over to him she rolled him onto his back placing her hand on his forehead. "Tony," she called only to get no response. "JARVIS is he alright? Do we need to call for help?" she asked knowing he was hesitant about seeing anyone. Still it seemed like he needed to see a doctor, there was something very wrong with him.

was pulled from her laptop as she heard him snap at JARVIS, again something that was unusual. JARVIS had apologized to Tony, though Pepper wasn't too forgiving about this. "What's gotten into you? This isn't like you," she spoke as she moved over to stand in front of him. "You've been snapping at everyone today Tony, talk to me," she spoke sternly.
"Sir your heart is beating usually high, are you in need for a check up?" JARVIS asked only for Pepper to blink. "Are you sick?" she asked.

Pepper was surprised he was telling her about them, thought it was just a bit. He had thrown up last night? JARVIS hadn't mentioned that to her. It was likely Tony told him not to. She decided that she would be spending the night there, she had paperwork to handle plus it would be best to keep an eye on him. She pushed her thoughts aside as she heard him talk about Steve.
"Steve is nice, and yes he'll keep an eye out for you. Unlike Bruce, since you two get so engrossed with work. Think of it like a playdate or something," she joked. The car came to a stop and Pepper got out, she was handed their food as he wished for them to have a nice day. Entering the building they were greeted by JARVIS.

Pepper frowned at the mention of his panic attacks. She wasn't aware of them until last year and frankly it scared her. She requested he seek help, that he see someone to help him instead of turning to the bottle and work. He assured her that they had stopped and she dropped the subject but now it seemed like that wasn't the case now. "Tony.. Do you want to talk about them? You know I'm here for you," she whispered.
"And no, that seems suspicous. Remember the last time you invited Bruce? Yeah you two didn't leave the work room for a week. Maybe Steve would like to? He's a nice man," she spoke fondly of Captain America partly because she knew he disliked him. Tony wasn't fond of Steve like he was with Bruce, that much was obvious to anyone.
