Natalya's point of View

I had just arrived home to see a giant bunny on the front porch. I mean this thing was huge. I smiled at it before walking inside.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I was...What the..." I cut myself off when I saw Tony's Iron Man suit sitting on the sofa. "What is that? You're wearing this in the house now? What is that, like, Mark 15?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah. Something like that.You know, everybody needs a hobby." Tony said.

"Oh, and you have to wear your hobby in the living room?" I asked.

"Just breaking it in.You know, it's always a little pinchy in the gooey bag." He said causing me to giggle. "Well, hey, did you see your Christmas present?" He asked as I sat down on the chair.

"Yes, I did. I...I don't know how I could've missed that Christmas present. Is it gonna fit through the door?" I asked, pulling off my heels and looking at Tony.

"Well, actually, it's a good question. I got a team of guys coming tomorrow. They're gonna blow out that wall." Tony explained, walking behind me.

"Okay." I said as Tony placed his hands on my shoulders.

"So, uh...Tense? Good day? Huh? Ooh, shoulders, a little knotty. Naughty girl. I don't want to harp on this, but did you like the custom rabbit?" Tony asked, rubbing my shoulders.

"Did I like it?" I Asked.

"Nailed it, right?" Tony boasted.

"It was cute but...uh...I appreciate the thought very much." I said, standing up and facing Tony. "So, why don't you lift up that face mask and give me a kiss?" I asked, smirking. Tony made a few fake computor sounds before speaking.

"Huh...Yep. Damn it, no can do. You want to just kiss it on the...The facial slit?" Tony asked, tapping his helmet, I knew something wasn't right here.

"Uh-huh. Well, why don't I run down to the garage and see if I can't find a crowbar to jimmy that thing open?" I smirked, heading towards the stairs to the garage.

"Crowbar, yeah. Oh! Except there's been a radiation leak." Tony stuttered.

"I'll take my chances." I called, skipping down the stairs.

"That's risky. At least, let me get you like, a hazmat suit you can... A Geiger counter or something like that." Tony stammered as the suit followed me downstairs. "Busted." He sighed once I had caught him doing pull-ups in the garage, there were food plates scattered everywhere.

"This is a new level of lame." I scoffed, folding my arms across my chest.

"Sorry." He muttered.

"You ate without me already? On date night?" I asked, pointing at the half eaten food.

"He was just..."

"You mean you." I snapped, cutting him off.

"Well, yeah, I just mean we were just hosting you... while I finished up a little work." Tony explained. I scoffed.

"Uh-huh." I hummed.

"And yes, I had a quick bite. I didn't know if you were coming home or you were having drinks with Aldrich Killian." Tony snapped.

"What?" I asked.

What?" Tony mimicked.

"Aldrich Killian? What, are you checking up on me?" I asked.

"Happy was concerned." Tony said.

"No, you're spying on me." I snapped.

"I wasn't." Tony defended. -

"I'm going to bed." I said, turning away.

"Hold on. Come on. Nat? Hey, I admit it. My fault. Sorry." Tony said, stopping me in my tracks. I turned to see him holdng up his hands in surrender. "I'm a piping hot mess. It's been going on for a while. I haven't said anything because of what happened with you and Loki but nothing's been the same since New York." Tony confessed. 

"Oh, Tony, you should have told me." I sighed, walking back over to him. 

"You experience things and then they're over, and you still can't explain them. Gods, aliens, other dimensions. I'm just a man in a can. The only reason I haven't cracked up is probably because you I married you. Which is great. I love you. I'm lucky. But honey, I can't sleep. You go to bed, I come down here. I do what I know. I tinker. I... Threat is imminent. And I have to protect the one thing that I can't live without. That's you." Tony said, pointing at me. "And my suits, they're, uh..."

"Machines." I said.

"They're part of me." Tony retorted.

"A distraction." I said, walking up to Tony.

"Maybe." Tony agreed. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he placed his head on my chest and I hugged him. As we pulled away I took his head set off. He looked up at me, smiling.

"I'm gonna take a shower." I said.

"Okay." Tony nodded as I turned and walked away.

"And you're gonna join me." I smirked, stopping at the door.

"Better." Tony smriked before getting up and walking over to me. I kissed him on the lips before taking his hand and leading him up stairs. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was woken by the sound of Tony gasping and whimpering. I looked over at him to see that he was shaking and dripping with sweat. 

"Tony." I said, trying to shake him form his sleep. "Tony. Tony." He himpered again. "To..." When the something grabbed my arm and pinned me to the bed. It was Tony's suit. I gasped as he grip on my wrist hardened. Tony shot up.

"Power down!" Tony yelled, holding his hands up to the suit. The lights went out and it turned itself off. Tony then hit it, causing it to crumble into small parts. 

"I must have called it in my sleep. That's not supposed to happen. I'll recalibrate the sensors. Can we just... Just let me...Just let me catch my breath." Tony said, as I got up and started walking. "Hey,don't... Don't go. All right? Natalya..."

"I'm going to sleep downstairs.Tinker with that." I snapped, fed up of all of this.
