Thanks for reading my book so far and I hope that it's as good as the first one.

Melissa's pov
At Stark Expo...
Natasha and I are at the Stark Expo with Pepper. I was wearing an elegant white sweetheart neckline strapless jumpsuit.

We are watching in horror as Justin Hammer shows off his new Iron Man like Army, Navy, Air Force, and the badass Marine ones. Even though I was shocked at Justin's obvious plagiarism of Tony's work. The Marine ones looked pretty badass.
I leaned over to Pepper, "Copycat's Marine drones are pretty badass, don't you think?".
Pepper elbowed me, "No, I don't.".
"Sorry, trying to lighten the vibe.", I explained.
"Well, you're definitely not helping.", Pepper said sternly.
Then my head jerked back to the stage when I heard Justin call out, "Colonel James Rhodes.".
"Rhodey?", I exclaim.
Pepper blurts, "What?".
Justin says, "For America and its allies, Hammer Industries is reporting for..", but he is cut off when, thankfully, Iron Man flies in, "We got trouble.", Tony says.
Rhodey says in a threatening tone, "Tony, there are civilians present. I'm here on orders. Let's not do this right now.".
Tony brushes it off, "Give them a wave.".
Justin walks over, "Hey, all right. Yeah.".
Tony turns to Justin, "All these people are in danger. We gotta get them out of here. You gotta trust me for the next five minutes.".
I could practically see Rhodey rolling his eyes in his suit, "Yeah, I tried that. I got tossed around in your house, remember?".
Tony sighed, "Listen, I think he's working with Vanko.". I gasped.
"Pepper, are you hearing this shit?", I whisper harshly.
"I'm listening to the same people you are.", she said, never taking her eyes off the stage.
