The Final Battle ✔

1: Tony's Back

Third Person's POV

For twenty two days Macy Stark has been struggling to stay awake. For twenty two days the only times that she'd sleep is when her body sull shut down because of how exhausted she is. For twenty two days, she wishes that she was with her father. For twenty two days she's been having nightmares and her father isn't there. For twenty two days she's been struggling with life in general. With Brie gone, she feels empty, and also with her father in space, she doesn't know what to do, so she spends her time in his workshop waiting.

Day 1: Macy is trying to stay awake.
Day 5: Macy hasn't slept in 5 days
Day 10: Macy's been having nightmares about her father
Day 15: Macy wishes that it was her instead of her father
Day 20: Macy hasn't left her father's workshop (Okay she never leaves in general).
Day 22: Macy tried to get some sleep one last time

Then this happened...

"Macy you need to get some sleep." Pepper kept telling the girl, and she didn't listen to her mother like she hasn't been.

"We know you want to wait to see your father, but your health should come first, you haven't eaten in days, and your father wouldn't want that. He wouldn't want to you lose you." Rhodey said as he and Pepper tried to convince the girl even though they knew what the same excuse she says everytime.

"I want to wait until Dad comes back and until I know that he is safe, then I will take care of myself."

"I know that you want to wait for your father to get back, but we don't know when he'll be back." Pepper says but Macy didn't even turn around to see Rhodey and Pepper standing right behind her. All she's worried about is her father, and she doesn't know if he's okay.

IN SPACE

Tony and Nebula are playing table-top football and she wins.

"Good sport. Have fun?" Tony replied a little tired, all he thought about for like almost a month was his daughter, and if she's okay. He doesn't know when he will see his little girl again. It scares him not knowimg if he will see his little girl again at least in 2008 when he was in Afghanistan, he came back. But this time he doesn't know if he'll come back to see Macy, Rhodey, Happy and Pepper.

"It was fun." Nebula said and Tony took out a picture of him and Macy from a couple of years ago when they were in India. It was a picture that Macy took, it always made him smile, but now it makes him sad.

"What's that?" Nebula asks Tony and he tries to hold back his tears and he breaks down crying, about his daughter.

"I just miss her." Tony said in between sobs, as he tried to wipe the tears.

Tony was thin and haggard, kneels in front of his Iron Man broken helmet, and hits a switch, and a light turns blue.

"This thing on? Hey Ms. Potts. Pep. If you find this recording, don't post it on social media. It's going to be a real tearjerker. I don't know if you're ever going to see these. I don't even know if you're still...God I hope so. Today's day twenty-one, no...twenty two. You know if it wasn't for the existential terror of staring into the literal void of space, I'd say I'm feelimg a little better today. Infection ran its course, thanks to the Blue Meanie back there. You'd like her. She's very practical. And only a tiny bit of sadistic. The fuel cells were cracked during battle, but we figured out a way to reverse the ion charge. Bought ourselves about 48 hours of flight about 49 hours ago. Which means we're dead in the water. A thousand light years from the nearest 7-11. Most of the quote-unquote food and potable water ran out two weeks ago. Pep, I know I said no more surprises. But I gotta say, I was really hoping to pull off one last time. But it looks like...well, you know what it looks like. Don't feel bad about this. I mean actually id you grovel for a couple weeks and then move on with an enormous guilt...I should probably lie down in a couple of minutes, rest my eyes. Please know when I drift off, it will be like every day lately, I'm fine, totally fine
I'm going to dream about you. It's always you and bear." Tony said and he wiped a couple of tears that were sprawling down his cheeks. Next up, Macy. The next one is gonna be a tearjerker at least for Tony.
