Smoke and dust filled the room after the explosion.

Scorch marks could be seen on the ceiling, and the few not glass walls around them had mostly crumbled. The glass had shattered.

Pepper looked around her to see darkness. Oh god, she was trapped under rubble.

Suddenly, a mechanical whirring sounded above her, along with a pained grunt.

Tony.

He had shielded her from the rubble crushing her.

"Tony?" She asked, her voice shaky.

The rubble shifted above her.

She saw light.

Tony lifted the rest of the concrete from them and stood. "Pep, you okay?"

"Yeah." She stood up, coughing. "Are you?"

"I'm-" Tony coughed, clutching his ribs even though he was still in the damaged suit.

He collapsed.

"TONY!" Pepper screamed, running to him and desperately trying to wake him.

It was then that she noticed the mangled hospital bed in the back of the collapsed room.

Peter.

Pepper left Tony and stumbled over to the pile of rubble.

She saw red staining a beam.

There was a small hand peeking out of a pile of the concrete and shattered glass.

"PETER!"
