Peter parker & Avengers// One shots

Deaf // Tony

A/N: This is based off of a one shot I read once, I forgot who the author was but I am in no way trying to copy the story I just really liked the idea.

Summary: Tony was deaf, completely deaf. The blast of the giant reactor was more than he initially expected when he told Pepper to blow it up. The blast caused irreparable damage to his ears, but Tony being iatrophobic (Phobia of doctors) refused to let someone surgically implant a device to help him hear, so he made his own. One that sent the sounds directly to the eardrums, it was a slow process but he has pretty much got them down. But what happens when his plans to keep it a secret fail with the arrival of the Avengers?

"Pepper hit the switch" 

Those were the last words Anthony Edward Stark heard and they came from his own mouth. The blast that followed after shot him up and he landed expecting a ringing in his ears but nothing. There was no ringing there was no crashing, JARVIS was speaking to him but he couldn't hear him. 

It has been a really long time since that accident and since then he has been working on hearing aids for himself. He doesn't trust doctors, never has never will. He guesses its a phobia but he'll never know because psychiatrist fall on his list of doctors, therefore he will never see one.

No one knows about Tony's disability except for Pepper, as she had been there the night he lost his hearing. He had a full on panic attack, clutching his chest and rapid short breaths which he couldn't hear. He couldn't hear Peppers calming words, but he could imagine them and the imagination calmed him down enough to say what he hoped was 'I can't hear, my hearings gone'. He thinks it was the right thing because Pepper nodded and helped him back to the tower via Happy's driving. Well that makes two others besides Tony then, because Happy had to know. Not only was he Tony's personal driver but also his closest friend, Tony felt complied to tell him. That was it, only three people knew.

When Fury told him that the Avengers would be living in the tower whether he liked it or not-Tony didn't understand the man's ideas but it was his tower he could kick them out at anytime-so Tony complied and renovated a floor for each of them based around their interests. None of them knew how Tony found out about all of their hobbies but they were glad to have a place to do them without asking for one. Steve had a full art studio the room was packed full of art supplies, sketch books and canvases; a window sat across from the main desk letting in tons of natural light and giving a beautiful view over the city. Clint had a prank room, yes Tony gave him a room full of items to prank with on one condition, that was that Clint never prank him and never prank on the communal floors without cleaning up after. Bruce of course had a second lab, better than his one that he shared with Dr.Cho, it was packed with devices to continue his study on Gamma radiation as well as having a lockdown procedure if the radiation became too much. Thor's floor had a room filled with pop tarts, all flavors because the only hobby listed for The god was 'Pop tart taster' He thought it was weird but bought the breakfast food all the same. The last was Natasha who had absolutely no idea how Stark had found out about her love of dance because it was on no database and she made sure of that, but was grateful when she stepped onto her floor to find that she had her own dance studio with a wall mirror and Bar.

They were all so thankful for Tony's "small" gestures of kindness that they wanted to give him one back. It had been two weeks since they moved in and in those weeks they had been getting closer and closer as a family to the point where they would gather together on the communal floor to watch movies together, or all help cook which usually resulted in a fire or two and ended in a call to multiple delivery places. So one night with the help of JARVIS they were able to set up a party for Tony, they just wanted to say their thanks and have fun with the man.
