Hello. This is my AU. Pictures don't belong to me and the credit goes to their original creator.



      Tony woke with a start, his nightmare still clear in his head. He struggled to breath as he stumbled out of bed and ran into the wall. He clutched at his chest, wanting the pain to go away. Memories came back. Seeing the Avengers laying on the ground, dying or dead. He opened his door and stumbled into the elevator, the doors closing behind him. "Take me to the lab, Jarvis." he gasped. "I don't think that's a good idea with the condition you're in." Jarvis replied. "Take me to the lab." Tony said again. The elevator headed upwards and stopped at the corrects level. The doors open and he stumbled out. His breathing had  become easier as he made his way to the liquor shelf. He grabbed a bottle and chugged some down. He drew in a deep breath as he felt the panic fading. He took another swig and started tinkering with projects. He finished some paperwork for SHIELD and set them aside. "Sire, Steve Rogers and James Buchanan Barnes are here." Jarvis said, startling Tony. "What do they want?" Tony asked. He had to wait a minute before Jarvis answered. "They need a place to stay and they want to explain everything to you." Jarvis said. "Let them into the building. Lock the lab doors and don't open them for anyone." Tony said. "Yes, Mr.Stark." Jarvis said. 

      Tony didn't know how long he was in the lab before there was a knock on the glass door. Nick Fury was standing outside, scowling in at him. "Let him in Jarvis." Tony said. The door opened and Fury walked in. "Steve and Bucky want to talk to you." Fury said. "And I want to be left alone." Tony said, taking a drink of alcohol. "You'll want to hear what they have to say." Fury said. Tony ignored him and continued fixing his suit, which Steve had ruined. "Tony." Fury said in a stern tone. "Get out." Tony said. Fury watched him for a minute before turning on his heel and left. "Lock the doors." Tony instructed. Tony was in there for a few more hours before he left. He heard whispering behind the door that led to his and Peppers room. "Are you sure he's not going to come in?" a male voice asked. "He's most likely to be in his lab for hours. We'll be fine." Pepper whispered. Tony opened the door and saw a half naked Pepper with an unknown man. Both of their heads shot up and Pepper started to cry when she saw Tony. "I-it's not what it looks like." She said. "Get out." Tony said, his voice cold. "But baby...." Pepper started. "GET OUT!" Tony yelled. Pepper and the male shot out of bed, got dressed and left. "God dammit." Tony growled. He stormed back to the lab, where Bruce now was, and started tinkering with his suit, finding ways to make it better. 

      "Is everything okay?" Bruce asked. "Why wouldn't it be?" Tony shot back. "I heard you yelling." Bruce said, continuing what ever he was doing. "It doesn't matter." Tony said. The door opened and Natasha, Clint, and Thor walked in. "Where is Pepper going?" Thor asked. Tony grabbed another bottle of beer and downed half of it. Natasha studied him, frowning as he fumbled with a screw. "What did she do?" Natasha asked. Tony didn't answer and dropped the screw. He swore and took another drink of beer. Bucky and Steve walked in and headed towards Tony. "We need to speak to you." Steve said. Tony ignored him and found the screw and continued tinkering. "Tony. Can you please just give us a chance to explain?" Steve said, exasperated. "Explain what? That he killed my parents? Why you basically tried to kill me with your shield?" Tony snapped, standing up. "Just listen." Steve said. Everyone quickly left, knowing that there was going to be fighting. "He was controlled by Hydra. He had no control over his actions." Steve snapped. "How else do you expect me to react? By celebrating?" Tony yelled. "You could have kept a rational mind." Steve shouted back. "Tony, I am sorry for killing them and I remember it and always will." Bucky said, speaking up. 

      "You had control of your actions. You knew my arc reactor keeps the shrapnel from reaching my heart and you almost broke it." Tony shouted at Steve. "Talking to you is like talking to a wall." Steve said, controlling his voice. Tony rolled his eyes and took another drink of his beer. "You're going to kill yourself if you continue. That can kill you." Steve said. Tony just waved him away and took another swig. He pushed past the two super soldiers and went into the kitchen and opened the fridge door. "That's the whole point of me drinking." Tony slurred, drunk. Steve and Bucky looked at each other, shocked. "Go to bed Tony." Steve said. "Go get a life." Tony replied. He got into the elevator and went to bed any way.
