tony stark one-shots (Request Open)

saved

today was the day the rouges were coming back to the tower after almost a year,

a year of pain and suffering alone.

he had rhodey and happy but nothing could help him with this, this void that's managed to fill his heart and soul, this numbness that can't be helped any longer

He has went from drowning himself to a dreamless land by drinking himself unconscious to slitting himself open and painting himself like a canvas

nothing was able to mask the pain of their death

today marked a year

the day he lost the love of his life and the angle that was growing in her, the life that was supposed to turn a year old today but instead...they've both joined his parents 

the day the rogues left him was the day he was supposed to drive them to the hospital, happy couldn't drive them due to some family issues and he had a driver drive them and that...that was his first mistake

the rogues walked into an empty tower, there were no workers, no interns. the whole place looked deserted

they looked at each other, having a silent conversation before walking in deeper and taking the lift to the penthouse, the place they were always at for movie and game nights

it was odd to see the place look completely lifeless, it was clean but definitely doesn't feel the same as it did a year ago

"I see you guys finally got here"  they jumped at the sudden voice, turning around to the stairs after dropping their bags to find rhodey there

"James...what happened here? the place looks deserted" he didn't answer steve,  instead making a call 

"they're here, take care of him...ok...bye"

"rhodey" this time nats call was as if threatening "you don't get to come here and threaten me after what you did" he spoke slowly, emphasizing each word

"I only tried to do what was right" she reasoned with him only to receive a scoff in return "yeah, backstab that is"

he noticed steve about to say something and cut him off before he said something that'll make his blood boil

"once tony gets here don't approach him, don't ask him stupid ass questions like your asking me now, don't threaten him like your doing right now cause you have no right, after everything that's happened he still got all of you pardoned so don't...don't do anything stupid.....or I swear to god ill kill you myself even if Tony doesn't"

they all reluctantly nodded their heads after realizing the threat was real, before walking out rhodey turned back to them "and one more thing...don't mention kids in front of him.."

before anyone can question why he left "your rooms are as always, you can leave all your things there"

just as Friday said, everything was the same, nothing changed, even their clothes were still there. they needed to see him, they had so much to tell him that it was starting to get overwhelming 

they had a quick change in clothes and sat on the couches together, waiting for their genius to return, hours upon hours passed, and still no sign of him

it was currently 10 pm and none of them can sleep nor eat, anxiety eating them all up. for a second a thought passed their minds, did tony go back to his old playboy habits? as quick as it came they shoved it out of their heads after remembering what rhodey said

just as they were about to lose hope they heard the voice they have been waiting for, but the conversation got them confused and curious

"ill be fine happy...I'm sure bud ill be fine...I will I will" they heard as he let out a sad chuckle "you too...bye hap"
