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.
