Spare His Life: An IronStrange Story

Chapter 6

Tony's p.o.v

I walk into the penthouse, greeted by the noises of chatters, slow musics, bottles opening and cheers.

I smile. I miss this, to be honest.

Since the first time we fought together, the Avengers felt like a family to me. We fight together, risking lives together, laugh, sad, mourn together, and even had a really big fight regarding the Sokovia accord, which leads to the Avengers breaking up and being torn apart.

But then, here we are again. All in one room, having fun together, just like the old times.

I shook out of my thoughts and shoot my head to the right when I feel someone poking me.

I smile. "Mr Stark, is this okay?" Peter tugs his shirt a bit, gesturing at his outfits.

I strokes my goatee, thinking while examining him. "Mmm, no not really," I said, chuckling at him as he jerk his head to me in shock.

"Should I change? I can g-" I pull him a bit closer by his shoulders and runs my hands through his hair, placing the strands in place and smiles as I back away a bit.

"There. Now you're ready," I say examining him again. Peter smiles softly aww that's cute.

He jumps excitedly a bit, grinning. "Thanks Mr Dad! Imma go and greet people!" I watch smiling at him as he runs a bit to I don't know where. Wait did he just called me Mr D-

"A secret son?" A sweet voice cut my thoughts.

I turn around to see Nat in her white blouse tucked into a plain black skirt that reaches the knee. Some lipstick is on her lips and she had a light make up. She looks beautiful.

"You look nice tonight, Nat," I smile. She laughs a bit. "Is that Tony Stark saying? You don't compliment people easily."

I snorts. "Yeah but I'm honest. You look beautiful," "Thanks then, and you don't look bad yourself."

We start to turn and walk towards the island of people. "Bad? I'm the most handsome people you could ever find." I grins as she makes an annoyed face, "Oh god please, Tony."

"I'm just joking," we both laugh as we sit down among most of the Avengers.

"Hey Tony," Bruce greets from infront of me while talking to Shuri. "Hey Bruce."

The other Avengers who are sitting there greets me saying hi and hey Tony and hello Stark.

We talked for some times about each others life while we're gone and laughing while sipping drinks.

"Hey Tones." Rhodes calls. I turn and jerk my head. "What?" "You know, you've changed recently."

I narrow my eyebrows. Changed? Good or bad? What do u mean?

"Yeah we all noticed that. You're not aware of yourself." I look at Bruce. What? "Is it good or bad? What do you mean change?"

"Tony, you're getting sleep deprivation." I turn to look at Pepper who has some coke in her hands. She passes them to some people and me. "Umm no I don't think so," I disagree as I start to drink the coke.

Rhodey sighs. "Peter told us about you staying up late with hundreds of coffee cups in the lab. Sometimes you don't sleep at all."

I laugh. Not hundreds of cups and why the hell did Peter tell them that? "I was finishing my suits. Nothing more. I do sleep. Peter just made up stories." "Tony look." Bruce starts. "I know you're having anxieties, PTSD and sleep deprivation. You're upset and your emotion Is. Not. Stable. Tony,"
