Laying in bed curled around Natasha, Tony contemplates the current situation. First they have the issue of Natasha being almost 6 months pregnant, they just found out their best friends have betrayed them, his ex and Rhodey scheming with the group, and now Barnes is warning them that Steve's is going to attack them but he doesn't know when. It's understandable that Tony has a few more gray hairs in his beard. At least it's only his temples that have grayed and not his whole head. As he thinks this over he also thinks about who to call in to help. Being that he has alpha status gives him some extra leverage to receive help. He could call Ash and Avery. They've always helped him when he needed someone to help his shifting. Also on the list to call is Sage, Clay, Tobias, and Hunter. Hopefully they can help. The only problem is introducing Natasha to them. He doesn't know how they'll react to him mating with a human. As long as they don't put down her status as his mate like Levi and Claire did at the Christmas party then they'll be alright. Ash can't really say anything since Avery is a human but the rest he doesn't know. Calling Ash and Avery, he tells them to meet him in the woods at a specific location in an hour.

From left column to right column down- Tobias, Sage, Ashton (Ash for short), Clay, Hunter, Avery
As Tony was talking to Ashton he noticed that Natasha was quietly crying into his chest. After they confirm the meet up spot they hang up. Gathering her in his arms he whispered small words of comfort to her. Since they found out 3 days ago about Levi and Claire betraying their trust her nightmares came back with a vengeance. Her thrashing was now dangerous since before when her bump was small he didn't worry about her hurting their child. Now that she's further along her thrashing could endanger her and their child. His only saving grace is that it's easier to restrain her since her mobility is more limited. Once she quiets down and the nightmares leave her, he slips out of bed and goes to stand on the balcony. The frigid early morning air doesn't affect him. Taking off his shirt and jeans and folding them he places them on the balcony along with his shoes. Jumping over the balcony he shifts in mid air landing in his wolf form and takes off through the woods. Dashing through the woods with the wind flying through his fur excites him in a way that nothing else can. The freedom, quietness of the woods, the soft ground beneath his paws; he takes it all in as he runs.

Stopping near some trees, he lays down and takes in his surroundings for a while. While he's in the woods he sees some hunters come near where's he's lying down. Moving stealthily away, he hides from them. After the hunters leave having not spot any deer he ventured out from his hiding spot. Catching a familiar scent he follows it. It's Ash in his wolf form and Avery. They walk with him and he informs them of his current situation. After about 2 hours he races back to the balcony and grabs his clothing throwing them into the laundry basket. Climbing in bed he turns so that his back is to the wall and Natasha's tucked into him. Draping a leg over hers and putting his hand protectively over her where she carries their child, he falls into a restless sleep.
