There's a lot of things you dont know about me

Please stop...

The shell of the soldier reluctantly followed the avengers

They went through more cells and met Wanda and Pietro two teens who had been experimented on to gain abilities

Even though Tony freed them Wanda went through his mind to see how much he's suffered, broken and torn apart, ripped piece by piece just to see if he feels the guilt of his careless actions

Wanda didn't know that this would make Tony see them too

He was close to having a panic attack but with hot tears falling down his usually smug face

When she reached Afghanistan that was it, it was his breaking point

Tony fell on the floor, hand clawing at his chest, the arc reactor slightly scratched

He felt to much pain, the memories were too much, he needed to breathe but the reactor couldn't keep up it was flickering some areas brightening and dimming

His shaky hands went under his shirt and grasped the rim of his reactor

Nat saw this and tried to stop him but Steve pulled her aside

Twisting it and slowly pulling it out, the port of the arc and cord of the electromagnet were the last things connecting it in place

And with one swift pull he disconnected it entirely bolts of electricity came from the unstable arc
His breathing became close to not breathing at all

Bruce was panicking and tried to check his pulse, it was erratic and his breathing was so labored his lips had a tint of blue

Tony was shivering with sobs racking his body

To say it was a shocking sight was an understatement the billionaire always hid any hint of weakness one time he fought doombots while running a fever of 103.9°

The arc reactor still flickering but slower, Tony was on the clock here and until the arc stops flickering the clock is ticking

After what seems like an eternity the arc reactor stopped flickering and Tony grasped it like it was his lifeline-
scratch that it was his lifeline

Lifted his shirt and held the metal rim in his chest and tried to put the arc reactor in but failed

Fortunately Natasha saw what he was trying to do and tried to help

"Cord... reach...in..." Tony rasped out

Natasha felt utterly terrified but kept her stoic face her friend needed help

She hesitantly reached in and started looking for a cord there was a strange slimy liquid inside

She was reaching for one and finally felt it she grabbed the reactor and connected it to the cord

With a stabilizing shock Tony sighed in relief he looked wasted Natasha was wiping her hand on Clint's shirt
He let her after what just happened

Steve carried Tony but in an angle that would let the light of the reactor show

Wanda was clutching her head crying softly she didn't think her actions would cost Tony his life it was a near death experience

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Wanda kept repeating to herself Pietro cradling her hoping to calm her down

"It's fine..." Wanda heard Tony whisper

"I probably d-deserve it all, I've done nothing but harm and hurt people"
Tony said softly it was softer than a whisper

"Tony you aren't the only one with red in your ledger, I've been trying to rewrite and change my past for a long time and all I can do was to make up for it" Natasha said trying to change Tony's mind

Tony was half conscious but heard Nats words

Tony was near tears again because he knew he wasn't alone anymore
