It's been 22 days since Henry has heard anything about Tony, the other surviving Avengers were held up in the compound which Henry didn't mind but he hasn't been much of a host lately. He's felt numb without Tony and they've tried to help but they can't. They did find this pager that belonged to Nick Fury but it hasn't done anything so that once again was useless and they were nowhere.
Henry brushed his hair back and looked over to Natasha and Maria who were working on the list of who was snapped, Steve was working on it but he had gone to the bathroom to shave his face. Bruce was over in the kitchen mixing up a salad while Rhodey was at the table working at where Tony would be. He looked up when he felt something. "What is that?" Henry asks standing up and looking at Rhodey who shrugs. Steve rushes out of the bathroom with a clean face looking at the group before opening the door and he starts to walk outside.
Henry grabs his coat before following Steve, Natasha, Maria, Bruce, and Rhodey outside. They watched as a woman lands a ship in their front yard, Henry gasps and starts to run towards the ship when he sees the ship's stairs start to go down. "Holy shit Tones." Henry puts his arms around Tony, he holds in a sob when he can feel how frail Tony is. "I lost the kid." Henry frowns before he realizes that Tony means Peter. He lets out a watery sigh before gesturing for Steve to help Tony as it was getting harder for just Henry to help him towards the compound.
"Jesus Tones," Rhodey muttered once the three of them got closer, Tony let out a sigh of relief and carefully put his arms around Rhodey as much as he could. "We lost." Tony looked at Henry sadly who kissed him on the cheek as they walked into the infirmary. Tony closed his eyes tightly as they entered the bright room, but when Henry glanced at Maria she walked over to the lights and dimmed them so they wouldn't be as harsh on Tony's eyes.
"Wheelchair please," Tony said to Henry who almost protested but when he saw the look in Tony's eyes the protest stopped. Henry let out a shuddering breath when he saw how small Tony looked in the chair. "I'm sorry," Henry said wiping his tears when Tony looked at him concerned, the man shook his head and grabbed his free hand one that wasn't busy with Bruce trying to insert an IV in so he can get some fluids. Tony brought Henry's hand up to his mouth and kissed his knuckles. "Don't be, I missed you. I thought about you every day." Henry presses his lips together trying not to cry. Bruce had rolled a stool over so Henry can take a seat next to Tony, Henry didn't have to worry about his hand being separated from Tony's because the man kept a good grip on it with what small strength he has left. "How many others did we lose?" Tony asks letting his head rest on Henry's shoulder
Henry sucks his teeth and leaves a featherlike kiss to Tony's temple. "Just rest." Henry rubbed a soothing touch on Tony's hand, he looked like he was about to protest but he snuggled into Henry and let sleep take him. "Fuck." Henry whispered looking at Rhodey who was looking at the couple with sad eyes. "He's home Hen, he wasn't snapped." Henry sniffed and nodded, he looked at Tony sadly. "But at what cost James." Henry rarely called Rhodey by his real name so he knew it was serious. "He lost his kid, hell he lost our kid. I don't know if he can come back from that." Henry blew out a breath, he tried to not move but it was so hard he wanted to collapse in on himself and cry. Cry for everything they lost, cry for Tony, cry for Peter.
Tony jumped when Steve walked through the infirmary. "Shit, I'm sorry. Uh, we were just going to get a count on who all snapped." Henry sniffed and nodded before standing up, he was about to tell Rhodey to stay with Tony but Tony wouldn't let go of his hand. "Wheel me with, I need to see who all got snapped." Henry was about to argue but he nodded his head knowing that he didn't want to genius out of his sight.
Henry kissed Tony on the temple before wrapping his hands around the handles of the wheelchair and he started to push the wheelchair, he doesn't have to worry about the IV pole because he knows that Rhodey has it. He pushes him into the room where they have a little projector on the table which is projecting the faces of Stephen and James, they're all spread across the room. Maria and Natasha are standing next to each other while Steve is leaning against the table and the woman who saved Tony is standing in the room. "Fuck, did anyone tell Alex?" Henry's hands tighten around the wheelchair handles before he releases them quickly, he pulls a chair and sits next to Tony so he can hold his hand if he wants to.
"I did, don't worry about it." Rhodey nods at Henry with a sad smile before crossing his arms and looking at the projection. "It's been 23 days since Thanos came to Earth." Henry notices that Tony's hand twitched when Rhodey said Thanos's name but he doesn't bring attention to it, he just grabs his hand and kisses it softly. "World governments are in pieces. The parts that are still working are trying to take a census and it looks like he did exactly what he was gonna do. Thanos wiped out 50% of all living creatures." Natasha looks at Maria before grabbing her hand and squeezing it for comfort.
Beside him, Tony squirms in his seat before looking up. "Where is he now? Where?" Henry squints at Steve who sucks his teeth. "We don't know."
