Messed Up Kind Of World {Marvel Fanfic} (Discontinued, For Now)

Bad News

A man somewhere in his fifties was standing at the door, he looked even sadder than May did.

"I am sorry sir, but uh... who are you?" I said with my obvious British accent.

"Where is May?" The man said, ignoring my question.

"You two are friends?" I Ignored his question in return.

"You could say that." He said. "And who are you?"

"I am Dice.." Maybe he knew that Peter guy, maybe he had good news. "She'll be back in just a few minutes."

"Thank you, I am Tony." He paused for a moment as if he hesitated. "Tony Stark."

Was I supposed to know him? It sounded like he didn't want to say his whole name.

Before I knew it he walked past me inside.

"Um... excuse me?" I low key snapped at him

He sat down in the living room, I just stared at him for a few seconds.

"Are you going to tell me why you are here?" I sighed at him.

The man, Toby Shark or something just stared off into space. I decided to sit down on the other side of the sofa as far away from him as possible. I yawned, I hadn't realized how tired I actually was. But being tired had never been a problem before. I couldn't fall asleep when this Shark guy was here.

I closed my eyes, I was just going to rest them. It's not like I would fall asleep now.
But I didn't want to open my eyes again, it was nice having them closed.
And before I knew it, I was in my own world. Asleep.

Tony Stark's POV

The girl was asleep on the couch, what did she say she was called again? Mice... no that's not it. Hmmm... right, Dice.
Was she a neighbor or something? She couldn't be, she didn't even react when I said my name. She probably don't even know who I am, I mean who don't know who I am, I'm the Tony Stark.

I heard a child scream, turning around, I found that it was only a baby.

"Oh god..." I sighed, I had no idea how to take care of a baby and that girl looked like she needed the rest.

Dice's POV

I slowly woke up to find myself in a room I didn't recognize, well, not at first. I soon realized I was at May's. What time was it?
I looked around, beside me sat that guy, he was asleep too, really how long had I been asleep.
I looked at him again, he looked very troubled, but in his arms was Simon.

At first, I was scared , why was Simon with him. But after a few seconds of thinking, I let him stay there, at least Simon looked peaceful.

My stomach growled, begging for food. Right, May was getting food. I grabbed my phone of the counter in the hallway and checked the time. 7:43PM. A was starting to panic for real now, my breathing was unstable. I ran to the guy.

"Hey," I whispered, he didn't wake up. "Hey," I said a little louder, my voice broke.

He slowly opened his eyes. His eyes met mine and he stared at me, he looked frightened.

"Kid?" He started speaking. "What's wrong?"

I tried to speak but not a sound came out. I took a deep breath and Toby put Simon back in his stroller. Toby grabbed my arms.

"Hey, everything is going to be fine," He had a look of concern in his eyes.

I took a very deep breath. "May isn't back," I managed to get out.

This put a slight look of panic on Toby's face.

"Friday, how long ago did I get here?" Tony said, looking at his phone.

"Two and a half hours ago sir."A woman's voice answered.

"Oh, god," Tony whispered, I don't think it was supposed to be out loud because he quickly looked up at me.

I stopped breathing.

Tony's POV

It couldn't have been that long ago. No. I sighed at my stupid mistake. How could I? If I had just stayed awake I would've realized when too much time had passed.

"Oh god," I thought, maybe out loud.

I heard a slight gasp. I looked up at her, the girl.
She looked terrified.

I looked at my phone again. "Friday, call May Parker." I ordered, my phone immediately complying.

After a long wait quietly staring at the beeping phone, I realized she wouldn't pick up. Dice breathed out, she started sobbing, very quietly.

"Hey, everything is going to be fine," I said, trying to comfort her.

I looked at my phone again.

I could call Steve, or maybe Rhodey. I'd rather not, but I know this isn't the time to be like that.

I shook my head and pressed on Rhodey's contact.
