Rhodey Appreciation Week – Day 6: Free day
“So I take the tank, fly it right up to the General’s palace, drop it at his feet, I’m like, Boom! You looking for this? Boom! Are you looking… Why do I even talk to you guys? Everywhere else that story kills” HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES RUPERT “RHODEY” RHODES (October 6th, 1968)

MCU CHARACTER ARCHIVE: ┖ James “Rhodey” Rhodes a.k.a War Machine
James Rhodes is a proud and highly distinguished officer of the United States Air Force. As a military man, he is a firm believer in people being held accountable for their actions and a proper chain of command.
For the most part, Rhodes maintains a sense of professionalism and strives to do whatever he feels is the right thing for the people. Despite his sense of professionalism, however, he enjoys wearing the War Machine suit as he believes it makes him a badass, and is largely disappointed when it underperforms. [source]
before the endgame rewatch: Iron Man (2008) dir. Jon Favreau “I shouldn’t be alive. Unless it was for a reason. I’m not crazy, Pepper, I just finally know what I have to do. And I know in my heart that it’s right.”
I said I was sorry. You don’t need to apologise to me, I’m not mad.
The general nodded in approval. Rhodey was about to follow him to the Humvee when his cell phone rang. […] He answered it with a curt, “Yeah?”
“Well?” That was all Pepper Potts said. “Well?”
“Well… he’s alive. We know that much.”
“Because you didn’t find his body.”
“Yeah,” he admitted.
“Who’s got him, Rhodey? What do they want with him? Ransom? What?”
“We don’t know, Pepper. I wish to God we did, but we don’t. But we have our best people on it. We’ll find him.”
“You’ll find him.” There was distinct bitterness in her voice. “Because we’ve done such a fantastic job finding people hiding in mountains in Afghanistan, haven’t we…”
“Pepper…”
“You were supposed to protect him, dammit! You with all your weapons and security! You were…”
He had never heard her like this. She had never been anything other than in control, on top of everything. Smiling, efficient, nothing ever threw her. To hear her like this tore him up.
He tried to respond, but before he could, Pepper had brought herself under control. “I’m sorry,” she said.
“You don’t have apolo-”
“No. I do.” Her voice had reacquired its detached, businesslike demeanor. […] You’ll keep me apprised.“
“Absolutely. You’ll be the first one to know.” […]
He pocketed his cell phone and wondered, not for the first time, if Tony Stark was aware of just how completely, totally, and madly in love with him Pepper Potts was. For that matter, he wondered if Pepper herself knew.
