Stone Cold(Tony's POV)

Stone cold

Everything was dark. My face covered in cuts and bruises. All I could hear was the gentle wind blowing and the trickles of slight rain hitting the ground. My entire heart ached as I stared straight in front of me. I felt the tears stinging my eyes as they tried to creep out. Everyone had gone back... I was left here with him. Stephen. I let him die. He was only trying to protect me and I just let him get tortured and killed. He had blocked the shot from Thanos to save me. All I saw was a bright portal cut the Titans head off as metal spikes pierced through Strange, 

I shakily held my hand out, hoping that this was just a clone of him. I crawled slowly over to his limp body. All I could feel was guilt and sadness. My entire body shuttered as I felt the cold dark blood on my hand. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. Anytime I tried I just choked up. I stood up and started removing the few spikes still in his body. Once I threw them to the side I just dropped to my knees as I saw him again. "No..." I shakily whimpered. After that, I couldn't hold back anymore. I felt tears stream down my cheeks as my vision got blurry from how much I started crying. 

I gently flipped him over and picked him up, keeping him in my lap and gently stroking his hair which was wet from rain and blood. I ran my hand's over the grey streaks in his hair and just looked down, watching as my tears hit his body. I kept his head close to my chest. Seeing the arc reactor reflect light onto the few tears on his cheeks just hurt me even more. My hands started shaking again along with my entire body. How can I go back? What will Wong say... what will the Avengers say... I looked down at the blaster on my suit and just froze for a minute. I aimed it at my arc reactor, more tears streaming down my face and dripping down onto Stephen. I closed my eyes as I heard a high pitched noise coming from the blaster. Before I could shoot I just dropped my hand. This isn't what he would want. 

I just slightly rocked back and forth as I kept stroking the sorcerer's hair and holding him close to me. Blood was pouring onto my suit and hands but that was the least of my worries. My lover was dead. The scene kept replaying in my head over and over again. What made it worse was my last words. "You're such an idiot! God, sometimes I hate you..." I was just upset because he let one of the enemies go to help me. But... I regret it... I regret everything. I wish I could use the time stone and get him back. I need him. I felt the rain get heavier and the wind speed up. I felt my throat choke up and my heart ache. I didn't even have one and now the death of Stephen proves I don't.

I lifted up his hand hanging down gently, looking at the scars and just trying to keep myself contained. I ran my thumb along them slowly and just felt more tears form in my eyes. I let his hand fall onto his stomach along with his other one. Seeing the trembling gone was just heartbreaking. I completely lost control and yelled his name at the top of my lungs. Afterward, I just stared up at the sky, feeling the heavy rain sting my face. I felt so empty and broken. 

His smile... faded.

His beautiful crystal eyes... closed.

His life... cut.

His last moments...

Stone cold.
