Antonia Stark Ironwoman |WTM|

The Cave II

Recap (last memory they watched)

She can't find it in herself to fight. Arif stands back to his full height, towering over her. He turns to leave but not before kicking her shaking arms out from under her.

"Pitiful. Ill be gone for a bit but don't worry, I can't leave my pet for too long. Try not to miss me." One of his hands grabs her jaw in a painful grip. The other clasps her neck tightly jerking her head towards his, forcing a bruising kiss to her lips. The screen fades to black.

Regular Recap
"Why is everyone looking at me, aren't we here to watch this movie shit."

"Which is also us looking at you." Hill teases.

Toni scoffs, "And y'all say the world doesn't revolve around me— news flash I don't believe you anymore."

Arif arrives back later that night and goes straight to Toni's cell.

The mood drops as they are reminded of what they watched previously.

"Did you miss me?" He waits for a reaction but she doesn't move a muscle.

Her soulmates grow increasingly worried when they can barely see her breathing.

He opens her cell, and walks to her form on the floor, "Hey I'm speaking to you bitch" He kicks her when she ignores him again. Finally looking at him he laughs getting a look at her face.

Hades tears up. How could he have let this happen? The fates have never been wrong before but was this really the better outcome for her life? He would have protected her from everything.

"Omg" Pepper covers a gasp and squeezes her eyes shut. Rhodes wants to comfort her but he was struggling with his own overwhelming emotions seeing her in that condition.

Half of her face was swollen, different sized hand shaped bruises in purple and blue covered her throat, and from what he could see her back was scraped and bleeding.

Apollos eyes burn with rage at her injuries.

Ares was surprisingly angry at the image, he didn't share his thoughts but his hand clenched the arm of the couch tightly. Aphrodite gave his hand a squeeze.

He laughs again with a smile on his face, "I told the boys as long as you were breathing when I got back I wouldn't ask any questions."

Wanda feels sick, no matter how much she disliked Toni no one deserved to go through this.

"But I do have one, can you even speak at all?" Her glare hardens and she bites her tongue to keep from attempting to curse at him knowing it would only make him happier to watch her fail.

Apollo had enough he jumps up from his seat, "I'll fucking kill him."

Artemis tries to calm him down, "Apol-"

"No!" He yells and the people closest to him start sweating, "He has been free for too long! He deserves to be tortured for eternity." The humans in the room have to turn away as Apollo glows brighter with his anger.

Toni not being affected as much as the rest gives Stephans hand a squeeze before she approaches Apollo. She gently laid a hand on his shoulder. He turns ready to yell at whichever of his siblings was trying to piss him off more but freezes when he's met with Toni's soft smile despite his reaction, "im sorry. I-He-" He takes a breath and his hand runs through his hair anxiously
