Work. Work. Work. That's was what Pepper Potts's life was. Work. That's not necessary true. She used to make plans at times, but with everything going on in her life now she works to avoid it. There was some irony in that. She used to tell Tony constantly that distractions weren't healthy. Now look? Third night in the office. She was a hypocrite with some matters and Virginia knew it, but would never own up to it. She was human. She wasn't perfect like Tony used to say. She had flaws and felt just as much pain as anyone else.

Things haven't been easy. Tony broke up with her and went back to making suits. He couldn't look at her the same way after everything that happened with the Extremis. It broke him up inside and out of guilt ended their relationship. The Extremis was gone thanks to SHIELD scientists, but side effects of it's removal were still occurring. She would feel a sudden burst of uncomfortable heat and experience nightmares. She wondered if who the hot mess was now between her and Tony.

She was at the office, making sure everything was organized for the next charity event. It was good publicity for Stark Industries and the strawberry blonde always loved doing charity events, especially for children.

"Make sure to have the plaza reserved-" she stopped speaking to her current business partner, feeling a wave of dizziness hit her. The three sleepless nights and only eating two salads in the span of two days hit her hard. She collapsed on the floor, exhaustion caving in on her. 

She woke up to Happy wiping a wet towel over her face. After doing the I'm fine banter she promised Happy to go see a doctor. She didn't want to make an appointment with a normal doctor, word got around fast and she personally didn't want others knowing she worked herself to the ground. There was really only one person she could count on.
