Me, Uncle Stevie, Bruce and Nat all watch as Carol Danvers guides the ship to the ground. Pepper is trailing behind us, Uncle Stevie runs up to where Nebula is helping Tony down the ramp. I watch as Pepper throws herself in Tony's arms and I sit next to Nebula and Rocket. Nebula just rests a hand on Rocket's head.
I walk into the Workshop in the compound to hear.
"He's pissed. He thinks he failed. Which, of course, he did. But there's a lot of that going around, ain't there? " Rocket comments.
"Until this second, I literally thought you were a Build-a-Bear" Tony says to him and I glare at Tony before hugging him, seeing him in an hi-tech wheelchair with an IV dripping into his arm.
"We've been hunting Thanos for three weeks - deep space scans, satellites - we got nothing. Tony, you fought him" Uncle Stevie says as I hug him, still processing that Papa got turned to ash.
"Who told you that? I didn't fight him, he wiped my face with a planet while a Bleecker Street magician gave away the store. There was no fight because he's not beatable" Tony says.
"Did he give you anything to go on? Clues, coordinates-" I stare at Tony as I see he is lost in thought and barely acknowledges Uncle Stevie.
"I saw this coming, few years back. Didn't wanna believe. I thought I was dreaming..." He trails off.
"Tony, I need you to focus-" Uncle Stevie starts.
"And I needed you, as in past tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late, buddy. You know what I need?" I notice everyone turns to him, unstable.
"I need a shave and a burger, not a bowl of soup." Tony stands up. "And I believe I remember telling all of you, alive and otherwise, that we needed a suit of armor around the world, whether it impacted our precious freedoms or not-"
"But that didn't work out, did it?"
"I said we'd lose, you said we'd "do that together, too." Guess what, Cap, we lost, and you weren't there. But that's what we do, right? Our best work after the fact? We're the "Avengers", not the "Pre-vengers-""
"Tony, take it easy..." I hear Rhodey ask.
"I've got nothing for ya, Cap. No coordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options. Zero, zip, nada. No trust." Tony rips out the RT. "Here. You take this. You find him, you put this on, and hide." He drops to his knees as I watch in horror. "I'm fine!" He collapses and Rhodey catches him.
I notice we are missing Petey.
"Where is Petey?" I ask. "Where is he?"
"...Feo.. he is-" I hear Nat start.
"No. Don't say it. He isn't" I scream running out of the compound sobbing. I lost one of the last members I have in my family. Papa, Wanda, Pietro, Vision, my parents, Uncle Sam and now Peter?
