Nightmares - a Tony Stark Oneshot

Tony remembered everything clear as day when it came to his time in Afghanistan, the most that stuck out were creating his first ever suit, the arc reactor and a man named Yinson. When Tony built his first suit, he only had one goal in mind...Revenge. He had been almost two months into recovery from being held captive for three months by terrorists in Afghanistan. Unknown to him at this time who truly was behind it, he was sure to investigate every possible angle there was to this mystery. He had set out for flight that morning to a village where the same terrorists who had held him were trying to take over an entire community. Tony arrived, looking around at the confused faces of those not knowing if this was a robot or a man in a suit, he felt the pings of bullets off the suit. He stayed still momentarily before taking his turn, blasting the men one by one, he paused when they were holding families. He targeted the men before shooting them, he wasnt just doing this for himself, he was also doing it for Yinson, he truly wished he could have saved the man but when he sacrificed himself for Tony's sake, he felt that huge wave of guilt sink over him. Tony had held a funeral for the man, inviting those who knew him to say their final goodbyes to the man who helped save Stark's life. He took a few steps forward before noticing the coward who tried drowning and shooting him hiding, he punched through the stone wall grabbing the man by the shirt collar and slamming him to the ground in front of those he was going after. He is all yours He spoke before taking flight back in the air. Tony found himself constantly thinking of this day, it was the start to something huge, he still dealt with a ton of ptsd and flashbacks. Pepper had him in therapy sessions, she had woken up in the middle of the night multiple times to him screaming, crying, freaking out over the flashbacks. Now that he was an avenger he took this a bit more seriously, going on missions, his goal to save the world from harm so nobody else has to endure the pain he suffered becoming who he was today. Fury did keep his eye on him, as Stark was known to make decisions that went against the plans already set in place, almost jeopardizing the whole mission. Tony's latest mission thankfully took place in the lab, figuring out everything that the tesseract could do. Whilst in there, he felt his body fall to the ground limp, paralyzed by a sonic taser, the man who helped Obadiah orchestrate the entire kidnapping of Stark back then was unfortunately still alive and rage filled. But he also had been under the sceptre's power, but who at this time held the sceptre was unknown. He felt as the man kicked him multiple times in the gut, I never thought I would see the day that I would be in the presence of Tony Stark again the man leaned down, getting in Tony's face a smirk upon the man's lips as he then reached out to grab the arc reactor keeping the billionaire alive. But now I get to see him die, and take something else that has some meaning. The man stared up at the tesseract. Tony felt his body going into cardiac arrest but he had something up his sleeve, he knew that both his reactor and the tesseract in the wrong hands were dangerous especially for the world. But the thing that happened next.. Really freaked Tony out. He was abruptly woken by Pepper, he had dozed off down in the lab and of course was having what he thought was the worst nightmare. Tony? She whispered looking at the brunette who was now drenched in sweat. Y-yea he said fear was evident in his voice, he looked up at Pepper he had tears in his eyes. You're safe.. It was just a nightmare she said, reassuring him. Tony looked at her in response, he wanted so badly to believe it, at the moment he wanted nothing more than for his boyfriend Steve to be there, he was thankful at least to have his close friend there staying with him until his lover's return. Tony had left messages on Steve's phone every single day he was gone, updating him on what he was doing, the nightmares, everything. What kept him going was knowing Steve would be home in two more days. He pulled his phone out bringing his messages up with Steve and began to type the next update. Good morning, It's bright and early.. I fell asleep in the lab again as usual. Pepper just woke me up, yes another nightmare. This one was the worst one yet. I was dying.. Please come home.. I can't take it any longer without you here, it's so lonely despite having Pepper and Happy around. Anyways, I love you.. Get home safely. - Tony
