Pepper started complaining to Tony about him not going to meetings and wasting his time in the lab, it was fine until Tony tried to explain the he was working a new things for the avengers... That's when Pepper lost it.
Pepper yelled at Tony leaving the man stunned, she continued to yell about all the things she thinks Tony is doing wrong, he tried to explain himself again but she cut him off then yelled about him not listening to her. There was other reasons why Pepper was yelling at him but to many to count.
"I'm sorry I can't do this anymore." Pepper said after a minute of silence.
"You can't do what?" Tony asked concerned still shocked at her yelling at him.
"Us, I can't do it I'm sorry." She whispered as her eyes started to water as she went to leave.
"Please Pepper." Tony begged.
"I'm sorry." she cried.
Tony was so confused, it was just happening to quickly, he felt angry and sad but he couldn't do anything about it. A few tears slid down his face as he sighed wiping them away and continuing to upgrade a few things in his iron suit. Tears still falling down his face he just couldn't get it done, he sat on the floor and just cried.
"F-Friday lock my lab." He mumbled.
"Steve is on his way to talk to you."
"Tell him I don't want to talk to anyone right now."
"Right away boss."
_______________________
"Boss has locked his lab off completely and does not wish to speak to anyone at this moment." Steve stood there confused.
"Oh, well tell him food is read in 10 minutes." The soldier sighed going back to the kitchen.
An hour passed and Tony hasn't left the room, it was common for that to happen but he'll come out eventually.
A week past, Peter came to visit and was excited to see Tony again, he got grounded for awhile when he came back with a stab wound. The boy walked to the elevator getting strange looked from a few of the new workers as he swiped his pass. The elevator stopped near the kitchen so Pete decided to get out and greet whoever was around.
"Peter!" Clint smiled.
"Heya hawkeye." The spider grinned walking towards him.
"Could you do me-us a favor." He asked.
"Sure, What is it?"
"We need to get Tony out of the lab."
"Oh... Sure see ya in a bit." Peter replied confused but decided not to question it.
The young boy walked to the elevator and ask Friday to take him to Tony, it did as it was told much to Tony's dismay. Iron suits everywhere and bits and pieces of wires out of them, Peter cautiously stepped over a few of the suits on the ground while he looked around for the old man. Not wanting to give up he asked Friday.
"Friday, are any of the suits missing?"
"Yes, the most recent suit to have left, left about 2 hours ago."
"Any trackers on the suit?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me where he is?"
"No." Peter groaned before asking a other question.
"Call Tony for me."
"On it mini boss."
Friday brought up a screen which showed it contacting the Stark. To Nat's surprise Tony answered.
"H-heya Pete." Tony greeted, looking worst than ever might I add.
"Mr. Stark? What's wrong?" Peter asked worried.
"I'm completely fine kid." He smiled.
"There's obviously something wrong, please tell me." it was silent for a bit before Tony nodded, hovering over the avengers tower.
"Fine, only because you're annoying." Tony joked, Peter grinned.
Tony landed on the balcony and took the suit off immediately, the suit walked behind Tony then went to its normal position. Natasha ducked down beside one of the desks, she wasn't worried about Tony finding her she just wanted to find out what was wrong with the genius.
Peter rushed over and hugged his mentor, Tony was shocked for a second but then hugged back.
"Please tell me what's wrong." Peter pleaded, remembering that Clint seemed worried about him. "Clint was concerned for some reason, probably why you look like a zombie right now, and asked me to ask you what happened, and now that I seen you for myself I know why he was worried." Peter rambled.
Tony sighed and walked out of the lab with Peter by his side still rambling about things, Tony kept a hand on Peter's shoulder and sat down on the sofa, Natasha quietly made her way down behind them and hid yet again.
"What happened Mr.Stark?"
"First call me Tony." Peter nodded his head. "Second..." Tony took a deep breath and looked away from Peter. "Pepper broke up with me, we where going to get married! Now I've lost my last bit of family I had left. I loved her, I still love her but she must not love me back. I don't know what I did, everything was going perfect! Then all she could do was tell me off for the smallest things? It just seemed like she wanted an excuse to get rid if me. "
Peter listened closely to everything Tony said, the genius was crying slightly and trying to keep his breathing normal before he went into a panic attack.
"All I wanted to do it protect us, all of us. I might have been an asshole in the past but I've changed, right?"
Peter didn't reply he just hugged Tony, for Tony it felt amazing to let his feelings out and tell someone what happened but he didn't want to annoy anyone with his problems. But the fact Peter listened and didn't try changing the topic or even said he was overreacting felt good to know someone would have his back. Even if it was a kid.
"Why don't we get some food?" we could get Steve to make something. "Natasha don't mention this to anyone."
"Got it." She said getting up, Tony didn't react he just sighed.
"Yeah let's get some food." He mumbled, the spider grinned getting up and dragging Tony to the elevator and dragged him out of the elevator again and into the kitchen.
The room went silent once Tony entered, they all stared at him and he just waved his hand at them and sat down at the table with his head on his hand. Steve walked over to him and put a hand on the man's shoulder.
"How are you?" He asked.
"... I've been better."
"Anything you want to eat? I dont trust Peter and Clint cooking.
"I'll take whatever." He chuckled, Steve smiled at Tony then went to make stuff.
"Peter don't-" Small explosion "-FUCK!" Clint cursed grabbing his leg, Peter managed to explode the pan and it went straight into Clint's leg.
"Steve he cursed." Peter shouted, Tony laughed quietly as he watched the scene.
"Peter sit beside Tony and don't touch anything else. Natasha go help Clint." Steve commanded.
