Tony's panic attacks

Code yellow

lately for Tony, waking up on the floor being held, wasn't unusual. it was generally his friends who found him laying there after he'd passed out or he'd had a panic attack. Jarvis always alerted someone. Tony had never thought about what would happen if no one was there. Bruce had gone to a conference, Steve was at SHIELD, Clint and Natasha were on a date, Phil was also at SHIELD, and Thor was back on Asguard. Tony was completely alone. he had a safe word, just in cause they were in the middle of a battle and Tony felt one coming on. so as he lay trembling on the floor, he managed to get a shaky grip on his phone. he texted two simple words to Bruce, code yellow. Bruce, who was in Washington, heading to bed, paused when his phone went off. he read the text and called Steve.

"Dr.Banner?" Steve ask.

"code yellow." Bruce said. Steve stood quickly.

"where?" Steve ask.

"I don't know. he didn't say." Bruce replied.

"I'll head to the tower with Phil." Steve said. "if he's not there I'll call Nat and Clint to look." Steve added, hanging up. he ran down the hall as fast as he could, stopping at Phils office, where he was talking to Fury. "Phil, code yellow." Steve said. Phil dropped his pencil and jumped up, grabbing his coat.

"code yellow?" Fury ask.

"Tony's having another panic attack." Phil replied, following Steve. "where is he?" Phil ask.

"not sure. Bruce just called me. he said Tony didn't say where." Steve replied. "we're heading to the tower to check for him there." Steve added. Phil pulled out his phone, calling Tony, Jarvis answered.

"Sir, is currently unavailable." Jarvis said.

"is he at the tower?" Phil ask.

"in his bedroom." Jarvis replied. Phil hung up.

"he's in his bedroom." Phil said. Steve nodded as they ran to the tower. they burst into the doors and raced for the elevator. they headed for Tony's bedroom. they raced into his bedroom, Tony lay limp on the floor. Phil ran over and knelt down, feeling his neck gently. "his hearts still racing, he hasn't been out long." Phil said. Steve called Bruce.

"how is he? is he okay?" Bruce ask.

"we got him. he's in his bedroom. he's already unconscious, but I don't seen any blood or anything." Steve replied. "I do see water all over the floor. I thought he was getting better with the water?" Steve ask, looking at the soaked carpet.

"he is, but sometimes things happen. I'm getting a ticket back to New York right now." Bruce said. "I can't believe it. everyone left him alone? no one stayed with him?" Bruce ask.

"he didn't want anyone to stay with him. he said he'd be okay just as long as he was careful. me and Phil were going to come back in just a few hours." Steve said. Tony groaned softly.

"he's waking up." Phil said, supporting Tony's head. Tony whimpered softly, grabbing onto Phil tightly. Phil let him. Tony always looked for assurance someone was there when he was waking from these things, grabbing onto the closest part of them he could reach and fisting his hand until it turned white. the grip on Phils wrist was painful but he didn't stop Tony.

"I don't think you need to come back. he's alright." Steve said.

"no he's not! everyone got up and left him! what happened to 'we will take care of him while you're gone Bruce.'? huh? everyone said they'd take care of him and no one was there! he texted me in a desperate  cry for help because no one was there!" Bruce shouted. Steve bit his lip, he'd been the one to say they'd take care of Tony, he'd also been the first to leave and do something.
