Tony's P.O.V
I hate the way I see things. I only see black and white. That's the way life is until you find your soul mate. Though, I'm starting to think either A, I don't have a soulmate, or B, they're dead. I'm in my 40s for crying out loud! What do I have to do to meet my soul mate?
I decided to take a walk to the park, to clear my head a bit. I exit the tower, which I've been living in with Rhodey. Ever since the fight against Cap, I've only been around Rhodey and Peter. Vision left to someplace I don't know, Wanda is probably with Vision. Bruce is no where to be found. Thor is back at Asgard. Steve is with Natasha and Sam. Clint is on house arrest. I honestly don't know nor care about the rest.
When I get there I just walk around a bit, trying to imagine what things look like with color. Though it is impossible. I don't know what green looks like, though I've been told that's what the leaves on trees are colored. I don't know what brown looks like though many have told me that it's the color of my eyes and hair. It sucks. I want to know what blue looks like, I want to stare up at the sky and see the beautiful view that I've been told so much about. I want to walk hand in hand with my soul mate on the beach, while we stare out at the beautiful ocean. I want to know what it's like.
I want to know what it's like to wake up everyday, next to someone who loves you unconditionally. I want to know what it's like to wake up to someone gazing at you, and see them smile when they see you're awake. I want to know what it's like for someone to cook you breakfast everyday while you wrap your arms around their waist. I want to know what it's like to go on dates. I want to know what it's like to gaze into someone's eyes and know that they're never going to hurt you.
My eyes begin to fill with tears.
I want to know what it's like to snuggle into someone's chest late at night, and feel their arms wrapped around you, protecting you from any harm. I want to know what it's like to feel loved. I want to know what it's like to not be alone.
I groan and kick a rock that was in my path. I'm beginning to lose all hope. Tears poor down my cheeks as I look at the world around me. I want to know what my world looks like.
I turn to leave and head home so I can bathe in my own tears, when I hear sparks behind me. I turn around to see a flame like circle sparkling, while it opens. I brace myself for an attack already having my hand in front of the arc reactor ready to suit up. Someone walks out of the portal and I feel my world change.
The man in front of me has a little gray hair- I know what that color looks like due to it being in the shade range of white and black- on each side of his head, which doesn't look bad at all. In fact it looks sexy. I don't know what color his hair is but it's similar to the dark oak of the trees around me.
His eyes are like the color of the sky above me which I identify as blue, but more icier, and they have flakes of the color of the leaves which I figure is green, but the green in his eyes are more sharper. I could stare into his eyes all day.
He is wearing a dark blue outfit with a long cloak that is a color I do not know the name of. He wears a necklace that is shining a bright green.
I stare at the man in front of me in awe, and then it hits me. I'm seeing color!
This man is my soul mate!
My eyes widened and I look around me. The park is so beautiful. All of the colors. I smile wide and I continue to look around me. Shops seem more lively, people don't seem as depressed. I look down at myself and I can see myself in color. I pick a strand of my hair and see it's what people would describe as brown.
"Oh my god..." I whisper, tears pouring out of my eyes. Unlike the tears that were previously present, these tears are tears of joy.
I turn my attention to the man and see he is just as happy as I am. He looks at himself in disbelief. When his eyes meet mine again I see he has tears in his eyes. I run towards this man and hug him tightly.
"Thank you.." I sob, "Thank you so much.."
The man hugs me back, and then he kissed my temple.
"Thank you.." He whispers as well. I pull out of the hug and smile brightly at him, which he returns immediately.
"Tony!"
My eyes widened again and I step back to see someone now standing bedside this man.
Bruce Banner.
Bruce charges at me and pulls me into a hug. I hug him back, at a lost for words.
"Bruce..?" I questioned.
I look up at the man, catching his gaze. I smile softly at him and extend my hand, one arm still around Bruce- who was sobbing into my chest.
"Tony Stark." I introduce my self.
The man smiles and takes my hand in his, giving it a shake. "Doctor Stephan Strange."
"By the way, not that I'm not incredibly happy to see both of you- trust me, but what brought you guys here?" I asked curiously, trying my best not to offend neither of them.
Bruce releases me and wipes his eyes. Stephan sighs and pulls me and Bruce into the sparkling circle thingy which leads to a room with several ancient artifacts. I raise a brow at the two, and then I spot another man behind Stephan.
"Alright, seriously, what's going on?" I asked, beginning to grow paranoid.
Bruce looks at me with a scared expression. "Tony. Thanos is coming." He told me.
I raise a brow. "Thanos?" I questioned.
Bruce sighs, "Thanos is the one that sent the army to New York. Loki? That was all Thanos!" Bruce exclaimed.
My eyes widened for what feels like the 100th time today. My lungs begin to close on me and I fall to my knees. I clutch my chest, struggling to breath. Images of what happened in New York 6 years ago flashing in my mind.
"N-New Y-York?" I mumble. I know I'm having a panic attack, but I don't know how to calm down. I hear people shouting my name around me but my vision is getting blurred.
"H-Help..." I plead in what sounds like a whisper. I feel like I'm falling. I begin to move my arms, begging for someone to save me.
Suddenly arms are wrapped around me and someone is whispering in my ear.
"It's okay...it's okay...you're safe... we're safe...you're okay..." The person kept whispering.
When I've calmed down I blink my eyes and realize I'm crying. I immediately wipe away my tears and look at the person who comforted me.
Stephan.
He looks at me with a worried look. I smile softly at him and he sighs in relief. He kissed my forehead before helping me up. I brush off my clothes before making eye contact with Bruce again who looks at me worriedly.
"What does Thanos want?"
