Stark saved her from an exploding Hammeroid , and Pepper left her position as CEO . Tony and Pepper then started a serious relationship . She later helped Tony build the prototype for Stark Tower . When Agent Coulson came to recruit Tony to look over Selvig ' s notes , Pepper left for D . C . She became worried when she found out Tony was in the battle between Loki , the Chitauri , and the Avengers . Tony tried to call her when he was about to sacrifice himself , but she didn ' t answer it as she was busy watching the battle on TV aboard a plane and didn ' t hear it vibrating . After the battle , she helped Tony design and improve the damaged Stark Tower . Tony once again made her the CEO of Stark Industries as Tony was hidden away in his lab and she felt that Tony wasn ' t paying enough attention to her . She was reintroduced to Aldrich Killian ( whom she used to work for at A . I . M . ) when Killian returned to ask Stark Industries for funding for his Extremis project , which she declined . During The Mandarin ' s attack on Tony ' s mansion , she donned the Mark 42 Armour and Tony ordered her to get herself and Maya Hansen out of the crumbling house . Once they were safely out , Tony called the armour back to him and failed to stop the attack . She was devastated when she believed Tony was dead , but Tony left her a voicemail , telling her not to worry . Maya and Killian then kidnaped and injected her with the Extremis serum . When Tony came to rescue her , he found her crushed by rubble . Killian then attacked and Pepper fell off the platform , into the fire below . She survived though due to the Extremis serum , and killed Aldrich . Tony and Pepper kissed while the Iron Man suits blew up in the background and Tony promised to do what ever he could to fix her condition , which he successfully did . In the comics , Pepper is given armour similar to Iron Man ' s . While wearing it , she is called Rescue .
