A/N: This is a post guardians of the galaxy 2 at some point as that is where I am in the MCU so yea please enjoy this story.This story is the first of maybe 3 story's so yea do look out for when I post the sequel to the story, it all makes the story of Pepper and Tony's disaster holiday to visit Pepper's family.This one is about a very long awkward car ride to the airport, cos New York traffic. It is very 21 pilots based so sorry there.ENJOY!"YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GOING TO OBSESS OVER THE SUITS BEFORE OUR HOLIDAY!"

Tony looked over at Pepper angrily walking down the stairs to him as he was in the garage playing with Dummy before they left for a couple of months, then noticed the suit on the desk next to him.

"Shit!

Honey, it's not what it looks like.

I was playing with Dummy before we left as I can't bring him and I didn't even realise that the suit was there!"

"Yeah, not buying it okay.

Now get ready you haven't even packed and we are supposed to leave in five minutes. And remember that my parents are fancy pants, so.."

"Neat clothes and not just greasy old T-shirts, got it!"

At that comment she just sighed in frustration as he ran up the stairs and Dummy came up behind her,

"No I will not kiss you goodbye!"

At that Dummy rolled of defeated as Pepper stormed upstairs to ensure Tony was packing suitable clothes for the trip.

After a few minutes the door rang and Tony flew past to let Rhodey in.

"So he needs oiling three times a day, and if he misses me just call or pull up the files I sent to your phone, and if he wants to go to the beach the tyres he needs are already on wheels so you can change them easily enough, right?

Errr, maybe I should call Steve or Bruce to help. No he should just come, or he won't cope!"

"So the robot gets a complete list with three babysitters, when you go away for two months, but I barely get a sideways glance when you go nearly kill yourself!"

"NO IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! IT IS JUST THAT I HAVE NEVER LEFT DUMMY QUITE LIKE THIS AND HE IS FREAKING OUT!"

"WELL I FREAK OUT EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SUIT UP, BUT STILL NOTHING!"

"Let's just get in the car!"

Tony huffed as he walked out to the car carrying most of the bags Pepper following behind with the rest.

As they left Rhodey waved goodbye, then looked over at Dummy who was in the garage entrance looking deflated.

"He never kissed you goodbye, did he?"

In the car it was deathly silent as they began to drive and Pepper decided to turn on the radio:I ponder of something greatMy lungs will fill and then deflateThey fill with fire, exhale desireI know it's dire my time todayAt these lyrics Tony felt that he related so much to it.

He would constantly be thinking about Pepper but would never express it, and it was beginning to get dire as he had just learnt.

He didn't actually realise how little time he spent actually with Pepper as he was always thinking about her.

I have these thoughts, so often I oughtTo replace that slot with what I once bought'Cause somebody stole my car radioAnd now I just sit in silence

At this point he thought that this person was lucky, he would love to escape the radio right now.

Sometimes quiet is violentI find it hard to hide itMy pride is no longer insideIt's on my sleeveMy skin will scream reminding me ofWho I killed inside my dreamI hate this car that I'm drivingThere's no hiding for meI'm forced to deal with what I feelThere is no distraction to mask what is realI could pull the steering wheelTony was beginning to realise how little time he spent with Pepper and the car radio was not helping all the thoughts in his head, so he went to turn it off but he thought it best not to as Pepper was only trying to help him relax, and she seemed to be enjoying it.

I have these thoughts, so often I oughtTo replace that slot with what I once bought'Cause somebody stole my car radioAnd now I just sit in silence

Now he realised why this guy wants his radio.

I ponder of something terrifying'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behindI find over the course of our human existenceOne thing consists of consistenceAnd it's that we're all battling fearOh dear, I don't know if we know why we're hereOh my, too deep, please stop thinkingI liked it better when my car had soundMusic did help him clear his often too busy head, but sometimes it only filled him with doubt, and now was one of those times.

There are things we can doBut from the things that work there are only twoAnd from the two that we choose to doPeace will win and fear will loseIt is faith and there's sleepWe need to pick one please becauseFaith is to be awakeAnd to be awake is for us to thinkAnd for us to think is to be aliveAnd I will try with every rhymeTo come across like I am dyingTo let you know you need to try to thinkHe was thinking to hard to choose sleep.

They were right though: if he was awake then he was always thinking.

I have these thoughts, so often I oughtTo replace that slot with what I once bought'Cause somebody stole my car radioAnd now I just sit in silenceAnd now I just sit in silenceAnd now I just sitAnd now I just sit in silenceAnd now I just sit in silenceAnd now I just sit in silenceAnd now I just sitI ponder of something greatMy lungs will fill and then deflateThey fill with fire, exhale desireI know it's dire my time todayI have these thoughts, so often I oughtTo replace that slot with what I once bought'Cause somebody stole my car radioAnd now I just sit in silenceThe wave of relief came over Tony as the song ended and it comforted him to see Pepper falling asleep as the ads started.
