Long Lost Love (Robert Downey Jr. Fanfiction)

The Dead Cat

I breathed heavily and wiped my tears. I went back to my workshop.

The emotions are still inside me. I'm not saying that I will, i'm just saying what if. What if I will die.

I sat on my Hotrod car and watched clips on Anton Santiago's life.

I saw the he and his father were so close together. It's not my pity that I killed him.

He went to Duke University and graduated as summa cum laude while I went to MIT and graduated as magna cum laude.

I studied everything about him. His early years, childhood, criminal records and everything.

He was waiting the right time to avenge his father. And here it is.

I didn't check the time and Jarvis said that Robert was home. I waited for him to come here. I was too weak to stand.

He went down and as soon as I saw him, I hugged him as tight as I can. He hugged me back.

"What's wrong, baby? What's going on?" Robert asked and he sat me on the couch.

I told him everything that happened. His expression was so infuriated and concerned. He gripped his shirt because of his anger.

"Where is the note?!" Robert said.

I took the note out of my pocket and showed it to him. His jaw was clenched.

"I'll kill him." Robert said in a threatening voice.

"No, Robert. I'm the one that he wants. Stay out of this." I warned and snatched the note out of his hand.

"Then what do you want me to do? Seat here and relax while my girlfriend is in danger?! I can't do that, Hayley." Robert said.

"I don't want you experience the wrath in my past. Listen to me and stay out of this, Rob." I argued.

"We're a team, right?! Then why won't you let me help you?!"

I breathed heavily and stood up. I clutched my head and looked at Robert.

"Answer me, Hayley!" Robert shouted.

"Because I don't want you to die! You don't deserve to die for me! You deserve to live and find someone better." I said and collapsed on a chair.

I saw his verge of tears. He was trying hard not to cry.

"But you are already the best." Robert said.

I closed my eyes and visualized what he just said. I was about to cry again.

I felt his arms wrapped around me and he pressed his forehead against mine. I opened my eyes and we looked at each other.

"I'm sorry that we didn't had the chance to have a family together." I apologized and the tears fell down.

"Ssshhh. It's okay, baby." Robert said and wiped my tears.

"You don't have to be a part of this. I want you to grow old and die when the time is right. Not like this." I said and cupped his cheeks.

"We'll both grow old together." Robert said and we both cried.

"I'll try everything to end this."

"Let me help you."

"No, Robbie. You have to stay here and be safe."

"I'll stick with you, Hayley. We'll get through this together. If you won't survive then i'll die there with you." Robert said.

"You don't have to. You'll have a family and a wife. You will have lots of babies. You will live in a peaceful house that's out of the cruel world. You will grow old with your wife and seat on the porch and watch your grandchildren play. You will have a happy ending, Robert."
