Summery: Bucky meets tony and they both find comfort in one another. But when a meeting comes up, tony has a great idea that will Help Bucky Cope when He isn't there.

—————————-

No one was coping.

The nights were filled with terrors of their pasts coming back to haunt them. Vivid images of scenes from a horrendous past filled their nights with tears and late night Screams Echoing down the Hall.

It was worse when they first Moved in to the avengers tower. But since Then they have All learnt that everyone has the same problem,   And That helped them with their own. After a few months they had all Found their own coping mechanism.

Clint would call his Wife whenever he had a bad night, hoping to hear her voice to calm him down, or even young innocence of his Children, excitingly telling him about their day, and all the exiting news from school.

Natasha would spent a few hours in the training room and destroy A target With a Continuous fire from Her many guns from her collection.

Thor would simply read or See his Brother, not that he spent much time away from him and Asgard anymore. Otherwise he'd leave the tower for a few hours- no one really knowing where he would go ( but they suspected he would take his brother around and show him the 'magically spinning ponies' down by the fun fair. )

Bruce would spent time in the lab, trying to fix whatever he Thought he had Brocken.  He would read or do what ever he could to feel like he was alive for a reason other than to be the hulk. He would work until the fury had he felt within him wither and fade until he was content enough to interact with people again.

Steve would punch and destroy multiple punching bags in the gym if it was A severely nasty one. Otherwise it was normal for him to read Quietly in his room or draw portraits of everyone on the tram -or the lost people he had dreamt about From his past.

And that Left tony. Unlike the others, his main enemy was himself. The voices In his head would constantly remind him of his failures. They told him what he should have done, that he could have done better, and why he was Such a Pathetic excuse of a man — a waste. Of space And resources. He hates that he believes them - but they were true. He didn't deserve to be apart of the team, he didn't deserve them. He was Responsible for the deaths of thousands :woman, children, mothers, fathers. He was a murderer.  And He couldn't live with himself.

The vivid Images burnt within him, refusing to let him sleep - so he stopped trying. He focused purely on his work work,  hoping to right all of his wrongs he had made. To Try to make the word Better and safer place for all.

But he was alone. And he hated it.  Every few days someone would come down - mainly bruce or steve, to make him shower, eat, drink and sleep. He done What they said to keep them happy, he didn't want to upset more people.

The only times he would sleep was if He passed Out from exhaustion, and even then it wouldn't last long. But he knew from experience that it was better when there was Someone there with him.

Before Pepper died she would Hold him, keep Him warm in those long terrifying nights. She would whisper reassuring promises In his ear,   She would help him relax. He loved her. But now he was alone to Faced knew Problems everyday.

After a mission Steve returned to the tower, unable To meet tony'sEye. He made him Sit down, and he told him everything. Bucky, his parents, hydra and their control over his old war buddy.

He killed his mother... but he was glade that steve told him, he Knew how Hydra effected people, their control was devastating, and he knew from experience how people were effecting innocent People.  He spent most of his superhero life fighting against them And he knew he needed to help Bucky, because he was a victim just as he was himself.
