↳ tony stark has to live
tony snipped the little paper in nebulas direction, to which she reacted in fighting stance, letting it fall to the floor.
"you don't need to do that" tony joked pointing at the alien girl "because - uh you're just holding the position"
he showed her what to do with her hands. then it was her turned to snip the paper. she totally missed
"that was close" tony encouraged
"no it wasn't" grumbled evi from her position in between as she watched the game unfold.
nebula looked at her and then repeated her shot, surprisingly nailing it
"that's a goal. we are now one apiece"
"i would like to try again"
it went on like that for a few rounds, nebula finally winning the game
"nice!" evi compliment, raising her hand and giving the girl a high-five
"congratulations, fair game" said tony, extending his hand and shaking nebulas
she sat back and looked tony straight in the eye "it was fun" she said without so much as a smile
a few hours later, evi would find herself sitting on the floor, while she watched tony, who took his destroyed iron man helmet into his hands
somehow he was able to turn it on.
"this thing on?" he asked tapping the helmet
"hey miss potts. pep" he leaned back "if you find this recording, don't post it on social media. it's gonna be a real tearjerker. i don't know if you're ever gonna see these.. i don't even know if you're still. oh, god i hope so"
tony seemed defeated and sad. he didn't seem to notice the girl that was listening in on his words
"todays day 21, no uh, 22. you know if it wasn't for the existential terror of staring into the literal void of space, i'd say i'm feeling a little better today, infection's run it's course, thanks to the blue meanie back there. oh you'd love her, very practical, only a tiny bit sadistic" he made a pause as if to collect his thoughts
"evi is here too, you know her, the girl from the park? she was back in sokovia with us, scary little demon, but i guess we're friends now. she is a lot gentler than the alien lady" he joked "maybe if you could you can tell steve that she's trying to get to him"
he laughed "she really misses him, you could think he was her actual father" evi smiled at that "so" tony carried on "the fuel cells were cracked during battle... and we figured out a way to reverse the iron charge and bought ourselves about 48 hours of flight time"
he sighed again "but it's now dead in the water, thousand light years from the nearest 7-eleven. oxygen will run out tomorrow morning, and that'll be it"
he concluded
tears slipped down evis cheeks, she could truly feel tony's pain.
"pep, i know i said no more surprises, but i gotta say i was really hoping to pull of one last one, but it looks like.. well you know what it looks like. don't feel bad about this. i mean actually, if you grovel for a couple weeks and then move on with enormous guilt... i should probably lie down for a minute.. go rest my eyes" he sighed
"please know, when i drift off title be like every night lately, i'm fine totally fine.. i dream about you, because it's always you"
he had stopped the recording and put on his jacket, stopping in his movement when he caught evis eyes. he winked at her, as if to cheer her up, before he layed down to sleep.
nebula walked to tony and put him onto a seat, bringing him to safety
evi had silently cried for a few more minutes, taking in everything that happened and their situation at hand. their living chances were slight, but they were slighter the more people needed air and food and drinks
she closed her eyes, wandering in the mirrored room once again.
pietro was already waiting for her, like he had know what she was about to ask him
"is it possible?" evi stared up at her brother with tear stained cheeks
"it is- but you know what i told you"
"i'm sorry, but i don't care pietro, this is a price i'm willing to pay"
"are you sure?" he put his hands on her shoulders "i'm not sure that you can change your mind, once you've done this"
"i am. it's important that tony stark lives, doctor strange told me himself"
so when tony woke up a few minutes later, looking into the eyes of captain marvel, his savior, he turned around to tell evi and nebula
nebula had looked down in sadness. she never looked anything but serious.
"she's gone" nebula said
