summary: Tony is having a nightmare and when you try to wake him up his suit gets in the way.
warnings: age regression, angst/comfort, nightmares
You groan as as you’re pulled from your peaceful slumber, turning on your other side when you feel your daddy shifting restlessly behind you.
He mumbles something unintelligible in his sleep, staring to fist the bedsheets as his skin glistens with sweat and is cold to touch.
You frown when realization dawns on your face, daddy's having a nightmare again.
You rub some sleep from your eyes and sit up on your knees beside him, placing your hands on his arm to shake him awake.
"Daddy, wake up…" You mutter softly.
"Not her....please." He keeps chanting over and over again.
"Da-ahh!" You yelp in surprise as your arm gets suddenly yanked back and pressed back into the mattress beneath you.
Tony's suit is above you and aims one of his repulsors directly at your face while you whimper at the tight grip it has around your wrist, fear crawling up your spine at how helpless you are.
Tony jumps up on his knees after finally snapping awake, hands up held up as he shouts. "Power down!"
You watch the suit fall apart on the floor beside the bed, gasping for air and sit up as your body shakes from the aftershocks.
When Tony tries to reach out for your hand you jump in your spot, making him gulp with guilt. "I'm so sorry, baby…" He apologizes, his heart breaking as he sees your whole body tremble and the tears already forming in your beautiful eyes.
"Was scary..." You mumble out and Tony is careful with his movements as he pulls you on his lap slowly, hugging you gently against him with a heavy exhale.
"I know, it's okay. Daddy's here, you're safe," He whispers while rocking you back and forth, your hands gripping onto his shirt tightly. "I didn't mean to scare you..."
His suits are supposed to make you feel safe and protected and the thought of you being scared of them now makes Tony want to kick his own ass for that and for getting you in danger.
When your grip loosens and your breathing evens out again, Tony lays back down with you sprawled on top of him, drawing shapes on your back while whispering sweet-nothings until you fall back asleep.
The next day, he spends most of the time in his workshop, upgrading his suits, with you coloring and playing in your designed corner as moral support, not stopping until he is sure there is no possibility that his suits can harm you in any way ever again.

Crossed out are the ones I somehow can't tag!
