~Later that night~

I suddenly felt Tony squirming in his sleep while gripping the pillow tightly. I suddenly sat and looked at Tony since his back is facing me.

"Tony.." I said as I shake him to wake up. "Tony..Tony.." Just then, I felt a cold hand gripped my wrist and shoved me off to Tony. I gasped loudly and I saw Tony woke up and he saw his Iron Suit grasping me.

"Power down." Tony said while standing up and putting up his hands up to the suit. The suit stood straight at his command and began powering down. Just then, Tony held his hands up together and he began putting it down as the armor began to dismantle. I began to flick on the lights and I kneeled on the bed breathing hardly.

"I must have called it in my sleep." Tony said breathing deeply. "That's not supposed to happen. I'll recalibrate the sensors." I looked at him and began to stand but Tony stopped me.

"Can we just...just let me...just let me catch my breath, okay?" Tony said while breathing deeply. I began to pace on the room and tried catching my breath. I put my hands on my head and continued pacing.

"Don't go, alright? Y/N?" Tony called.

"I...I..I'm sorry." Tony said as he sat in the middle of the bed.

"What's the nightmare?" I asked him as I looked at him and stopped pacing.

"The same. New York." He said. I went near him and I tightly hugged him. He puts his head on the crook of my neck and I began rubbing his back to soothe him.

"I'm not gonna leave you, Tony. Just calm down, okay? Practice your breathing exercise, like what we practiced." I said as I pull back from the hug and sat in front of him. He sat properly with his legs crossed and he held my hands and he closed his eyes and began his inhale and exhale practice. 

"You're doing good, babe. Try calming down your breathing." I said. Tony just kept doing his breathing exercise while his eyes are closed. 

"JARVIS, can you scan Tony for me?" I asked. 

"JARVIS, don't--"

"Tony, focus on your breathing and let me be your doctor for tonight." I said and he just nodded his head and he closed his eyes again and continued his breathing exercise.

"No sign of cardiac anomaly or unusual brain activity. My diagnosis is that Mr. Stark experienced a severe anxiety attack." JARVIS said. 

"How long is he experiencing this?" I asked the AI.

"Far too long, Miss. I believed ever since the Battle of New York." The AI said. I just sighed and nodded my head.

"Alright. Thanks JARVIS. Take the night off."

"You're welcome, Miss. Have a great night." JARVIS said. I began focusing on Tony. I saw that he is still doing his breathing exercise and yet, he's sweaty. I stood up and went to grabbed a small hanky and began wiping away his sweat. Tony opened his eyes and he looked at me as I wipe his sweat off. 

"I'm sorry baby." Tony said softly.

"Why are you saying sorry, Tony. You had a nightmare that caused your anxiety. I understand what happened. I just want to let you know that every time you feel like having anxiety attacks, come to me and I'll help you okay?" I told him as I held his cheeks in my hands and he nodded.
