Today's Assignment (Stony Highschool AU)

Bruce's POV

I couldn't find Tony anywhere. He wasn't in the canteen. He wasn't in his classroom. I would have asked Clint and that lot but I thought it was best to find him on my own. The last place I could think of was the bathroom. I opened the door and there he was, laid across the floor exposed. He curled up into a tight ball when I entered. This really didn't look right.

"Tony?" I asked and handed him my jacket. He snatched it out of my hands and wrapped himself up in it before curling up tighter.

"Can you take me home?" He said in just over a whisper.

"Sweetie. You're going to Steve's tonight. Remember?" Tony's hand covered his face. It shook badly.

"Take me to lost property then. I need some new clothes." So I did as he asked. I then took him to Steve's. Let's just say Steve wasn't expecting Tony so early, nor was he expecting me to be holding him up as he walked.

Tony sat down and stared at the floor. A mug full of tea in his hand. He hadn't touched a drop. Steve pulled me aside.

"What happened?" The blonde asked. We had caught him just after his shower so he was only sporting a towel as his attire. Normally Tony would be flirting and joking about it. But not today.

"I don't know," I said. "I found him on the bathroom floor." Now that I think back, it was kind of obvious what had happened. It especially became obvious when I got sent a video of Tony sucking a guys dick. I couldn't work out who though. Steve started to look angry. He walked up to Tony and grabbed his face roughly to face him.

"Who did it?" He asked. He wasn't angry at Tony, he was angry at the bastard who hurt Tony.

"Um Steve, I don't think that's helping." I said. Tony teared up. He whacked Steve's hand away and ran upstairs, spilling his tea everywhere. I hated seeing my best friend like a man his. Rage filled me. I was so angry I thought I could turn green and kill everyone involved in it. But for Tony's sake I was going to keep it together. Steve let out a long breath.

"Why would anyone do that to a person?" He asked. He doesn't really understand this world that we live in right now. It's confusing.

"Because people are assholes who just want to cause other people pain and misery" I explained. Steve nodded and went to go get dressed. We had an impossible task ahead of us and that was to bring Tony's spirit up. I had no idea how we were going to do that.
