" of all broken things I have seen- I am the most destroyed "

Chapter 10:

See you in my dreams

A HOME.

All of her nightmares began in a beautiful home— the kind she had always dreamt of.

It was a pretty place —gardens and all— and she would often imagine herself walking through the flowers but she never managed to get out. The closer she got to the door— the further away it would go.

And then there was a boy.

He couldn't be more than six or seven, with a bright smile sporting his face.

The little boy would run around and leaving the thoughts of the garden, Annabeth would follow him around the house instead.

But the more she ran around this little home, the more it started to look like her own house in Malibu where she grew up.

Sometimes she would open the door that stated— 'Annabeth's room' and see a young group of friends— one girl and two boys laughing in there.

She would leave, hoping to give the three some privacy but then she would realize that it was actually her, Tony and Rhodey.

When she would turn back— the door would disappear as if it had never even existed.

It probably didn't.

"Mom?" A voice would call out then, snapping Annabeth from her thoughts, turning her attention to the little boy.

He would stand still and Annabeth would take this time to notice his features.

He had brown eyes, very similar to Tony's but his hair always looked like her own— a few shades lighter than how Tony's was.

With a start, Annabeth would realize it was Peter but that was usually when he would start to run away again.

"Peter? Peter!" she would call out in vain.

Then there would be a door she would reach at the end of the hall— always in red and gold.

As Annabeth would try her best to open the door, she would hear people talking and would conclude them to be Tony and Peter.

When the door opened, Annabeth didn't see them but only a younger Tony crying on the floor holding a picture and a bottle of beer.

He didn't look more than twenty.

Then another girl would come, looking too much like Annabeth's nineteen year old self.

Annabeth as she was now would then realize that this was now a memory— not a dream.

"I— I have to leave Tony," The younger girl would cry but Tony wouldn't react.

"I am so sorry," the younger Annabeth would whisper, tears trailing down her cheeks.

Tony would lash out then, the bottle in his hand crashing on the wall.

"To—"

"No! You are not sorry," Tony would say and the picture would fall and Annabeth would see it was actually a picture of herself.

"You are right, I am not," Annabeth would then say, "But I can't do us anymore Anthony— It's literally killing me and it's killing you too."

Tony would push past her as the younger Annabeth would fall on the floor, heavy with the pain of heartbreak.

The suddenly, the younger Annabeth would turn to her older counterpart— eyes red, black tears formed from her running mascara.

"You never could save them," the girl would drawl out in disgust, "You are weak."

The older Annabeth would turn to see the hallway where a giant figure of a man would stand, something shining in different colors in his palm as he laughed. Behind him would be her Tony and a little baby in his hands.

"You are pathetic, Annabeth," her twenty year old self would spite, "It's honestly getting sad."

"Tony! Peter!"

"You know... dad was right— maybe Peter is better off dead," the younger Annabeth would stand right in front of the older one who would keep staring ahead at the monster and her family.

"Tony will be too."

The younger Annabeth would push the older one and she would fall.

And she would keep falling till she woke up...

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hey, so I know that the chapters have been a bit depressing and this was short but Tony is about to return so things are about to change for Annabeth... Also there is a certain guest appearance from a certain MCU character while Annabeth will be in NYC..
