Advertisement
"Dad!" Tony frantically looked around but everything was dusted.
"Peter! Where are you?" Tony started walking, only for it to start getting colder? "bambino!"
"Dad, I don't wanna go! Please...I don't wanna go." Tony started running to his voice but it kept getting further and further away.
"Love," Stephen called out softly. "Please, help me." Tony turned and sure enough, there was Stephen.
He was bleeding out, stone gone, and cloak ripped up. "No, no. Hey, it's okay Stephy, I'll help you" Stephen grabbed his hand, pulling him closer.
"Please...please." Stephen went limp, and Tony could only stare at him.
"Stephen?" Tony sobbed and held him. He closed his eyes and begged that it wasn't real.
He opened them and he had Peter instead. "I'm sorry." Tony shook his head, gently rubbing the back of his son's head before he disappeared.
"Sir, i-i think I need some sleep." Tony turned, Jarvis was on the floor, one of his eyes ripped out. "I'm sorry Sir, it s-s-seems like-like I wo-wont be c-coming back." His voice kept glitching out, getting deeper and more robotic.
"No, not you too. Please don't leave me, buddy. Not you too." Tony ran to him but Jarvis was already collapsing, his eye going gray as he shut off.
Tony sobbed as he was alone. "Please come back, I don't want to be alone. Please, please."
"Tony," Stephen spoke softly. "Tony...wake up. Tony."
The voice changed and Tony shot up. Rhodey stood at the side of his bed, looking at him sadly. "It was just a nightmare Tones." Tony sighed and nodded, looking over at his best friend. "Scoot over."
The genius did as told and Rhodey got into the bed with him, cuddling his friend into his side. "When did you get here?" Tony asked softly, letting Rhodey play with his hair.

"Like an hour ago, helped Jarvis out with cleaning up. You feeling better?" Tony shrugged, trying to focus on the fact that he still had Rhodey and Jarvis with him.
"I keep dreaming about them. I don't want to screw up the situation even more, but I don't know what to do exactly." Rhode hummed and nodded. "I don't want to be alone."
Rhodey squeezed Tony. "You aren't alone Tony. I'm here, and you're like my little brother, you've always been like my brother, I'm not going to let you go through this alone. Jarvis sees you as his dad, he won't leave you either. Pepper is still looking out for you and Happy is just a call away. We're here for you."
Tony smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Rhodes." The older man grinned and patted his friend's shoulder.
"Come on, I'm hungry and I know you must be too." Tony nodded and followed Rhodey out the door.

They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me.
