She could feel his hand on her back. Probably the only thing that was keeping her grounded in the moment. Taking deep breaths as she looked up at him. She could read him and see the fear in his eyes. Something that she knew about how much he was broken too. He tried hard to keep them all together. But none of them could really prevent it. It happened. They had to face it. She watched him as he pulled the chair to sit next to her.

“It is reality sadly. Our world changed the minute the battle of New York started. Well we are all a little crazy to even be in this line of work. But I never foresaw what actually happened.” She felt him take her hand. She was shaking. She hated not being able to be able to just step back and see everything and fix it. “I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t just take out these people like I could.” She leaned forward to leaning her forehead against his. “This is just insane.”

_{his eyes were filled with grief. how many times did he hear her ––– see her like this} ?? _{the tone of her voice, her sad eyes. stark swallowed quietly. the only quiet exhale left his lips as their foreheads met. ❝ wish i could tell you that i know how to} make it right_{. but i don’t. i never see anything like that. –– shit. i’m} just a guy_{. not a god or an alien. ❞ tony shook his head and gritted his teeth.} 

_{❝ but ––– i} won’t _{give up. i –– we’ll figure this out.} together. _{and we’re still not alone. there are people who can} help _{us. ❞}

Natasha stayed quiet for a while just watching Tony from the corner of her eyes. Hearing those words made her glance down. “I had no choice Tony, I wasn’t going to be put on the raft. I am pretty sure that Barton won’t talk to me for a while.” She bite her lip before she looked over at him. “I missed you too. I wasn’t sure if I should even contact you. Things weren’t good where we last left off.” 

_{❝ just} don’t _{start, ❞ tony interrupted her. his voice was as hard as steel, still staring out of the window. ❝ ––– with explanations.} i got it. _{you had no choice. i’m not saying that’s your fault, natasha. ❞ he shook his head in a weary tone and his face turned toward the woman. from the steel grip of his eyes, the billionaire conjured a gentle smile ––– too} shy _{for a man of his character. ❝ nah, barton will understand. if an idiot like me did, he will. ❞ anthony shrugged his shoulders with a faint. ❝ yeah –– and still –––} here you are_{. even if you din’t think it’s right. ❞ he sighed wearily, trying remember} their last conversation_{. ❝ i will not start something that’s far behind us.} i don’t want _{and i have simple reasons. ❞}

         “Stay still.” Pepper said softly, pushing slightly on Tony’s arm while tightening the bandage around his shoulder. “Have you talked with your doctor since the accident?” There was no doubt that Tony will end up with an irreversible damage but they still could manage to prevent him from permanent disability.

_{anthony sat still as a statue. those thoughtful eyes, which had an unceasing spark, were} empty _{now, tired and exhausted. ––– his answer was a faint rumble when he fumbled out of the shirt, he crumpled the white fabric in his palms, whipping the white collar between his thumb and forefinger so hard that his fingers were almost red. –– no, he didn’t feel the pain, though with every move the wound came} alive_{. her soft voice pulled tony out of dullness and returned to ❝ i did. ❞ he replied with one hundred percent} convincing _{in his voice. in fact, his lie was only half. stark had a meeting with some specialist, but he didn’t come. so i actually talked with him –––} theoretically_{, he spoke for himself. ❝ i’ll be fine, pep. it could be} worse _{than a hand, you know. ❞ he said sarcastically, trying to gently shrug his shoulders.}
