Loss.
I've never experienced it with so many people at once.
Peter Parker is gone...with countless others.
"You know why Ton. I can't sleep...like I used to." He hums into my hair as I felt tears start to slip. "Because when I close my eyes all I see is - Peter collapsing into dust in my arms. I know that he wasn't our kid -" I pause starting to lightly sob. "But I connected with him, like he was. He - he was our son, in a way Tony."
Tony and I are stuck in space with Gamora's sister not probably gonna make it back to Earth or to our daughter. Tony has my head laying on his shoulder as I'm peacefully sleeping until a blinding bright light consumed the ship. Squinting I see it's a glowing woman who transports our ship to Earth. Rhodey, Steve and Pepper with a talking Racoon all watch us exit the ship. Pepper carries Morgan before helping me walk and Steve helped Tony. We're home. Tony is in a wheelchair with iv's as I'm on crutches with an iv in my left arm, bags under my eyes from lack of oxygen on that spaceship. "What wrong with him?" I glanced over to a mopping Thor. "Oh, he's pissed. He thinks he failed. Which, of course, he did...but there's a lot of that going around, ain't there." The talking Racoon named Rocket spoke. "Honestly, until this exact second I thought you were a Build-A-Beer." Tony points at him. Tony and Steve started arguing once again, mentioning Ultron to deal with our problems. Tony tips off his fake chest piece collapsing on the floor. Pepper and I sit at his bedside before I let my eyes fall closed from lack of sleep, cuddling into Morgan wrapped in her blanket. There doesn't seem like a light out of this dark reality...I hope I'm wrong.
2 months later
Tony decided to move our family to a log cabin in the middle of the woods by the lakeside. Pepper thought he was right that we deserved a simple life after everything we've been through. Opening the front door I closed it gently not wanting to wake up Morgan or Tony as I take a seat on the porch swing. It's nighttime but I can't sleep, like Tony couldn't after the attack on New York. I'm wearing one of his long sleeved shirts with some black gym shorts looking up at the stars shining through the tree line. "Sneaking out to stargaze, huh Y/n?" I don't remove my gaze from the sky hearing Tony take a seat beside me on the swing, gently laying his head on my shoulder.
Tony pulls me closer to his chest letting me grip his AC/DC shirt, combing his hands through my knotted hair trying to calm my nerves. "Breath honey, just breathe. I miss him too. But - we did everything we could. I'm here - I'm right here." He tilts my chin up to look in his dark brown eyes. "I love you 3000. Never forget that Y/n."
5 years later
"Oh Tony, I love you 3000 too." Moving my hands up his chest I wrapped my arms around his neck gently pulling him down for a kiss. His hands rest on my hips deepening the kiss, feeling both our tears mixing together before we broke for air. "How about we go cuddle inside, huh?"
Life became better over these years after Thanos destroyed half the population. Morgan is now five years old now, acts like her father half the time. I'm wearing a grey thin long sleeved shirt, ripped up jeans and muddy tennis shoes. Tony sits on the ground outside her little tent for camping. "Morgan H, Stark, you want some lunch?" The girl comes out of the tent wearing a blue and gold iron helmet, aiming her left hand out that has a fake hand blaster that's her size. "Define 'lunch' or be disinterested." Her father holds up his hands in surrender. "Okay. You should not be wearing that, okay. That is part of a special anniversary gift I'm making for mom." He removes the helmet brushing her messy hair back. "You thinking about lunch. I can give you a handful of crickets on a bed of lettuce. That's what you want?" She shook her head no grossed out.
"How did you find this?" He lifts the iron helmet as I walk towards the pair. "Garage." Morgan smiles weakly. "Were you looking for it?" He inquired more as she shakes her head no. "No. I found it, though." Tony sees me leaning against a tree smiling at the pair, causing him to pick her up in his other arm. "You like going in the garage, huh. So does daddy." He grunts walking to me the wind blowing his hair so you can see grey hairs forming. "It's fine, actually. Mom never wears anything I buy her."
I scoff playfully shaking my head taking our daughter from his arms. "That is a total lie, Ton. I've worn expensive dresses, my suit and these..." I show him my left arm with the iron bracelet and my wedding ring. "You know that fiery spirit is one reason I love you." He pulls me into his chest, deeply kissing me. Morgan groans at the two of us being together. "Ewwww." A chair door closed for all three of us to see Steve and Natasha. What are they doing here.
Morgan was inside playing with Pepper who I called to babysit tonight. "The stones are in the past. We could go back. We could get them." Steve has this crazy Idea to reverse what Thanos did with time travel. "We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everybody back." Natasha says but Tony isn't hearing it. "Or screw it up worse than he already has, right. I believe the most likely outcome will be our collective demise." Tony slumped down into a porch chair beside me on the swing. "Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel. It means no talking to our past selves...no betting on sporting events." Tony cut Scott off raising his right hand. "I'm gonna stop you right there, Scott. Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe...is based on Back to the Future?" Natasha lifts her head up looking at Tony then at me. "We have to take a stand."
Running my hands down my face I sighed bringing up Peter again after years of me crying. "We did Nat, and we lost a lot." Tears well in my eyes causing Tony to gently grab my hand in his, rubbing his thumb knowing there's a lot of sleeplessness nightmares because of what Thanos did. "The Avengers failed. We failed and it cost us nearly everything. It cost me...Peter...who I treated like he was my own son. So, I'm sorry guys but I can't go through that pain again."
"I know you got a lot on the line. You got a wife, a daughter. But I lost someone very important to me. A lot of people did. And now, now we have a chance to bring her back...to bring everyone back. And you're telling me that you won't even..." Tony squeezes my hand still in his. "That's right, Scott. I won't even." He turns his head in my direction holding tears in his soft brown eyes as well. "I can't...we can't."
The front door creaked open for our daughter rush to her father's arms. "Auntie Pep told me to come and save you." He lifts her onto his lap as I reach over ruffling her hair. "Good job. We're saved." Tony turns his head back to our friends. "I wish you were coming here to ask me something else. Anything else. I'm honestly happy to see you guys, I just..." He gets to his feet as I give Steve a sad look making him cut him off. "Tony. Y/n. I get it. And I'm happy for you, both of you. I really am. But this is a second chance." Tony holds Morgan with one arm, tugging me into his side with the other. I lay my head on his shoulder seeing Morgan snuggled into his neck. "I got my second chance right here, Cap. Can't roll the dice on it."
Nighttime had come after we finished dinner. I'd just put Morgan down for bedtime before I lean in the doorway, seeing Tony pick up a framed picture of him and Peter with me being silly in the background. He sat it down messing in the library with Friday's assistants. The words 'successful' appeared on the screen. He leans back in his chair breathing sharply. "Shit!" I rounded the corner climbing in his lap but before I can say anything Morgan's voice fills the room. "Shit." Turning our heads that direction I gasped as he whispered holding a finger to his lips. "What are you doing up, little miss?" She said it again so he warns her. "Nope. We don't say that. Only mommy says that word. She coined it. It belongs to her."
Morgan sweetly asked. "Why you up?" He replied pointing to the tech screen. "Cause I've got some important shit going on here!" I snack his chest harshly for cursing again and he grunts. "No, I got something on my mind. I got something on my mind." Our daughter tilts her head to the side smiling. "Was it juice pops?" Getting off his lap I pick her up in my arms, eyeing my husband. "Sure was, princess." I lay her down in her bed, tucking her under the covers. Tony is on his knees pushing her hair from her face, taking her empty stick in his mouth. I sit on the edge of her bed as she mumbled. "Tell me a story." Tony put his hands together quickly speaking. "Once Upon a Time there was a little girl who went to sleep." She sticks her tongue out not satisfied. "That is a horrible story." He disagreed but kissed her forehead mumbling. "I love you 3000." Getting to my feet I give her a hug and a kiss whispering the same as she drifted to sleep.
I'd give anything to be with my darling daughter again. Instead of in this life and death situation. Steve decided to have us go into the past and retrieve the stones. That plan worked until now. Steve struggles to fight Thanos as I fly around his head until Thanos grabbed my leg throwing me harshly into the ground where I get dizzy. Steve gets thrown into the dirt hearing someone talk to him through his earpiece right before gold portals starts opening around us. I see a man wearing a red eye mask and someone flip out in a red and blue suit that brings tears to my eyes. "Quill....Peter..." Everyone else that got taken returned drawing their weapons ready to fight. Steve stands beside me getting in a fighting stance. "Avengers....assemble!"
Tony and I launched up into the sky with Pepper following beside us in her own iron suit. The giant ant man knocked down the flying sharks with one punch like it was a little feather. I drop down to the ground seeing Peter gasping for breath seeing Tony and I. He started to ramble off in thought as I feel tears appearing in my eyes. "Do you remember when we were in space. And I got all dusty. I must have passed out...because I woke up and you two were gone. But Doctor Strange was there...and he was like it's been five years, come on they need us. And then he started doing the-" Running forward I tackle him in a hug wrapping my arms tightly around him. He stumbled a little then hugs me back feeling tears falling down my cheeks.
"You have no idea - God I missed you, Peter....I missed you so damn much!" I started crying uncontrollably into his shoulder until Tony pulls me away to hug him too. Peter hugs him back smiling until I saw Quill get kicked in between his legs falling on the ground. Dropping my iron mask I shoot up into the sky blasting one of the flying metal creatures we battled in New York awhile back. Thanos removed the purple stone blasting Tony away next to me. Dropping down on the ground Strange raised one finger causing me to gasp looking to my husband mumbling. "That's it. This is our chance." He nodded rushing forward and I fly forward where both of us grabbed a hold of the gauntlet before Thanos threw us far. Thanos raised his fingers declaring with a snap that did nothing. "I am inevitable..." Lifting myself up on my hands and knees I gasped seeing Tony holding all the stones that connects to his Iron Man. He struggled through labor breathing snapping his fingers pausing everything. "And...I...am...Iron Man."
Thanos disappeared into dust when Tony collapsed to the ground. Getting to my feet I rushed forward with Peter starting to cry. "Mr. Stark...hey...it's Peter...We won." Tony started shaking as I rest my hands on his shoulders crying through shaky breath. "Tony, hey its me...You're, gonna be fine..." He weakly puts his right hand over my left one wheezing. "Y/n....I...love you...3,000....you will always be my Iron Stone." Reaching up with my hands not ready to let him go so I bury my head in his iron chest sobbing. Pepper bends down beside me shaking me quickly. "Y/n, your powers. You're necklace - you can save him." Lifting my head up from his chest I bawl my right hand into a fist creating the orange surge of power. I still never understood why I was born with these powers but maybe just maybe this is why. To save the man I love. Pressing my hands to his chest I sniffed through heavy tears calling out to him. "I love you 3,000 Tony Stark...so please fight...please come back to me...I can't live without you, not anymore."
My hands turned his chest orange and I suck in a breath feeling my power getting weaker. Tony's eyes fluttered open and closed a couple of times scaring me. "Friday report now!" I croaked out feeling my heart rate increasing. "Vitatls are still low, Ms. L/n." Pepper rests her hand on my shoulder about to pull me away but I force the rest of my power into him, feeling blood coming from my nose. Tony's chest started heaving up and down with his heart beating normally again. My eyes started falling closed and I felt it harder to breathe. My head gets dizzy where I collapse to the dirt from exhaustion. Pepper rushed to you searching for a pulse and finding a weak one. She glances to Tony seeing him suddenly gasp for air dropping on his knees pulling your head into his lap, crying as he asked Friday. "Friday, is she - tell me she's..." He couldn't form a sentence not wanting you truly gone. "She's alive, sir. Barely holding on."
Y/n's POV
A repeated beeping sound rings in my ears before I can even open my eyes. Blinking my eyes opened slowly where they feel heavy I see I'm laying on a hospital bed. Turning my head from side to side there's an iv in my left hand and everything hurts even with pain meds. Someone suddenly blurted out through tears grasping my freehand and kissing it. "God I thought I'd lost you for good, baby...." Blinking my eyes a few times I don't register that it's Tony's voice at first. Coughing with a sore throat I squeeze his hand intertwined with mine. "Tony...it's you...it's really you." He brushes my hair back crying through happy tears. I hope and pray this isn't a dream or in this case a nightmare. Where I'm alive and he's not. But he squeezes my hand in his climbing into the empty space of the bed beside me. Wrapping his arms around me where I throw my arms around him sobbing happily into his shirt. "I'm here Y/n. I'll never leave you....us bad asses have to stick together."
Lifting my head up from his stained shirt he wiped away some tears on my face with his thumbs. His hair is a tousled mess and there's visible bags underneath his eyes meaning he hasn't got much sleep. "I love you 3,000...Tony." I whispered leaning up and kissing him softly. He moves his right hand cupping my face gently kissing back. The door opened and a fit of giggles warmed my heart. "Mommy, daddy!" Morgan climbed into the bed with Pepper's help hugging me happily. I sigh into her hair pulling her into a hug. Pepper smiled down at me once I broke the hug brushing my daughters hair behind her ears. "I know we gave you quite a scare, princess. But don't worry we'll always be here." Morgan wiped away some tears as Tony pulls us both in for a family hug. Burying my face in the crook of his neck he mumbled into my hair. "Pepper, I believe this has been needed to be said for a long time. Thank you for bringing us together." Pepper smiled mirroring my grin on my face. "Well there had to be a match out there somewhere for Tony Stark." Morgan turned to face us sitting on her knees with puppy dog eyes asking adorably. "Can we go get cheeseburgers when mommy gets out of the hospital?" I snorted in laughter seeing Tony ruffling her hair. "Anything you want, princess."
Well this is the end of Iron Stone. I enjoyed re-writing Tony's end. I hope you did too.

Part 16
Iron Stone masterlist
"She's an angel, Y/n." Pepper talks about baby Morgan in my arms as the three of us including Tony stroll through the park. He's now wearing a fake devotion arc reactor saying it's just in case of something going wrong. "Again thank you Pep. For dealing with her during all our save the world stuff." I smile, rocking the girl in my arms as I wear a thin red jacket from the store Pink, light blue tea shirt with blue jeans and brown boots. My hair is loose with some of it braided. Tony shoves his hands in his pockets smiling. "Yeah Pep. I promise Y/n and I'll take you out to a fancy dinner as a thank-you." I nod leaning up and kissing him softly, he kisses back before an orange portal opens for us to a weird guy who announces. "Tony and Y/n Stark. I'm Doctor Steven Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding and baby, by the way." Tony tilts his head resting his hands on mine and Pepper's shoulders. "I'm sorry, you giving out tickets or something?"
Strange spoke again. "We need your help. It's not overselling it to say that the fate of the universe is at stake." I pull Morgan who is asleep close to my chest. "I'm sorry but who's we?" I gasped to see Dr. Banner approaching. "Hey, Tony. Y/n." He's alive.
Thanos, an alien guy is after these six Infinity Stones that basically could destroy the universe if they're united as one. A spaceship is once again in New York. Luckily Tony and I gave Morgan to Pepper - seriously we can never catch a break. Tony accessed his suit through the chest piece and I tornado my suit from my bracelet he gave me. Peter showed up from a field trip to help us. The spaceship beamed up Peter and Strange. Tony and I give everything we have in the foot thrusters to get on the ship to save Peter. Entering the ship I drop my iron mask. "So...we're heading into space, that's cool." Tony spun around to see someone wearing Strange's cloak, pulling it off I see Peter. "I know what you're gonna say-" Tony cuts him off groaning. "You should not be here."
"I was gonna go home." Peter and Tony go back and forth. "I don't wanna hear it." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "But it was such a long way down and I just about you on the way...and this suit is ridiculously intuitive, by the way. So, if anything, it's kinda your fault that I'm here." Oh good god Peter. Tony aims his finger at the kid. "What did you just say?" Peter stuttered out. "I take that back. And now, I'm here in space." Tony walks up closer to him explaining in frustration. "Yeah, right where I didn't want you to be. This isn't Coney Island. This isn't a field trip. This is a one-way ticket. You hear me. Don't pretend you thought this through. You could have not possibly thought this through."
Spinning on my feet I watch Peter mention the reason he became a super hero in the first place. "You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man...if there's no neighborhood." It had been a couple months since we'd recruited him for the Avengers and he messed up a lot.
Tony and I sit in the backseat of the car as Peter fiddles around with a phone. I'm wearing a simple dress with Tony in a light blue suit because we're heading for date night after we drop him off at home. Pepper is home with 1 year old Morgan. Peter was allowed to stay in a hotel we payed for the whole fight between Captain America that broke the Avengers apart three months ago.
"What is it a little video diary?" Tony asks as I hear Happy grumble from the drivers seat. "I told him not to do it. Filming everything." I smile as Peter aims it at me having me give a wave to the camera. "You know what we should actually do. Make a alibi video for your aunt anywhere. Here get in the frame."
Tony holds the camera up, pulling me into the frame with him and the kid. "Hey May. How ya doing, what you wearing...something skimpy I hope." Peter and I both made a gross out face. "I'm sorry. Let's start over. Make an edit." He laughs squeezing my hand in his freehand.
"3. 2. 1. Hey May. My gosh uh wanted to tell ya..what an incredible job your nephew did this weekend at the Stark Internship retreat. Everyone was impressed-" A random driver honked making me squirm hearing Happy shout at said driver. "Come on! This is a freaking merger zone" Tony said back. "This is cause you're not on Queen's Bullavard."
"Let's leave Happy to deal with his frustrations on driving." I take Peter's phone aiming it at myself changing the conversation. "So Peter, you have any questions you want answered on your little video here?" Turning the phone his direction he stuttered out in nervousness. "Oh uh - how did you meet a Mr. Stark?"
I tilted my head down chuckling at the memory of first meeting the man who is the husband and father of my child. "Well I met Tony through my friend Pepper Potts, his assistant. She offered me a job as her backup assistant over him when she was gone. First day into my job I entered the house to see him blast through the roof of his house down to his lab in the basement." I started laughing really hard at the memory now and Tony blushed at the mention. "It was the time he was creating the first Iron Man suit... But he crashed destroying one of his cars in the process. Long story short I knew I was in for a wild ride after that."
Peter nods his head asking another question as Happy honks the horn aggressively at dumb people driving. "Did want to become an Avenger? Mrs. Stark do you and - um Mr. Stark have a kid?" I smile patting him on his shoulder with a big grin. "First off Peter you don't have to be so formal with me, call me Y/n. Second yes I so wanted to become an Avenger. I didn't want to do the whole boring normal life thing. Third Tony and I have a daughter. Her name's Morgan." He smiles brightly as I show him a picture on my phone of the three of us chilling on the couch on a lazy Sunday. "I'll bring her over sometime to show you and your aunt after one of our retreats." I do the quation sign with my hands explaining the code word.
"Learn to drive people!" Happy's screams making all three of us turn our heads to the front of the car. Tony gives the kid his phone turning it back our direction. "See Happy is - is hoping to get bumped up to Asset Management. Before that he was head of security. Before that he was just a driver." Happy turned his head to us at a stoplight facing the camera. "Private conversation. I don't like joking about this. It was hard for me to talk to you about it." Tony started talking again and the camera moves as I shook my head at his statement. "No. Seriously. Was he snoring a bunch in the-" Happy hits the brake having us reach Peter's apartment.
"Alright here we are." He grumbled as I'm laying across Tony's lap eyeing Peter who stumbles with his phone. "I guess he's not in the joking mood tonight, Ton." Tony chuckled at my reply, asking. "Why don't you grab Peter's case out of the trunk?" He helped me sit up so I can lay my head on his shoulder looking at a stunned Peter Parker who lowers his phone that's still recording. "I can keep the suit?"
Tony pulls out his black sunglasses sternly explaining. "Yes. That's what we were just talking about. Do me a favor though. Happy is kinda your point guy on this. Don't stress him out, don't do anything stupid. Alright?" Peter jumped excitedly. "Yes." Tony still lists off the do's and don'ts. "Don't do anything I would do. And definitely don't do anything I wouldn't do. There's a little gray area and that's where you operate."
"Does that mean I'm an Avenger?" Peter grins at me hoping for a yes, but he's not ready for all the danger just yet." Sorry Peter. Not yet. Baby steps." Happy taped the car window of the backseat. "You gonna take it up?" Tony shouted. "7th floor!" But Peter is nice in saying. "I can take that up. You don't have to take it." Happy sat it down getting back in the driver's seat.
Peter spun around in his seat still excited. "So when's our next retreat?" doing the quation thing I did earlier. "What next mission?" Tony clearly doesn't get it. Peter and I both nod our heads yes. "We'll call you. Like someone will call you." Tony finishes reaching across Peter to fumble with the car door handle. Peter tried to hug him. "That's not a hug. I'm just grabbing the door for you. We're - we're not there yet." Peter gets out of the car waving to me. I waved to him as Tony called out to him. "Bye!"
He closed the door shifting to have me sit on his lap. "So we're gonna let him meet our princess?"
I rest my hands on his shoulders leaning up to kiss him softly. "Yes, we are. He's a good kid Tony. And I bet he'll make a good Avenger in the future too."
"I'll believe it when I see. You're usually right though, honey." He kisses me softly and I smile into the kiss. "You're darn right I am, Stark."
"Admit it, you should've ducked out when I told you to. I tried to bench you. You refused." Tony and Strange are arguing as Peter and I stand on the side. "Unlike everyone else in your life, I don't work for you." Tony cuts him off no longer wearing his Iron Man suit, pacing in front of a wall that moves like a display of space. "And due to that fact, we're now in a flying doughnut...billions of miles from Earth with no backup."
"I'm backup-" Peter raises a hand but Tony snaps back crossing his arms over his chest. "No, you're a stowaway. The adults are talking." Strange turns his head to the boys confused. "I'm sorry, I'm confused as to the relationship here. What is he, your ward?" I step past Strange explaining simply. "Father-son thing, they're not related...it's a long story."
Peter smiled to the Dr. "I'm Peter." Strange said. "Doctor Strange." Peter retracts his early statement. "Oh, you're using our made-up names. Um...then, I'm Spider-Man." Tony clears his throat as I swipe my hand over my bracelet having my iron suit return to the storage unit on my left wrist. "This ship is self-correcting its course. Things on auto-piolt." Strange steps his cap moving with him. "Can we control it. Fly us home. Stark, can you get us home?" Tony steps around not answering him immediately. "Yeah, I heard you. I'm thinking I'm not so sure we should." Tony what are you thinking.
"Under no circumstances can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos. I don't think you quite understand what's at stake here." Tony gets up in Dr. Strange's face growling in frustration of what we're dealt with since New York. "No. It's you who doesn't understand...that Thanos has been inside my head for six years. Since he sent an army to New York and now he's back. And I don't know what to do. So I'm not so sure if it's a better plan to fight him on our turf or his...but you saw what they did, what they can do. At least on his turf, he's not expecting it. So I say we take the fight to him. Doctor. Do you concur?"
"All right, Stark. We go to him. But you have to understand...if it comes to saving you or your wife or the kid or the Time Stone...I will not hesitate to let either of you die. I can't, because the universe depends on it." Strange said with no emotion. "Nice. Good, moral compass. We're straight." Tony pat's his arm stepping beside Peter as I followed after him. "All right, kid. You're an Avenger now." He rests a hand on his shoulder softly quickly walking away.
My boots bang on the metal floor of the space ship before I caught up to him, grabbing his forearm making him stop. "Tony, go to his turf. Are you nuts. We have no idea what these space universes look like." He sighs turning to fully face me. "Y/n, we can't let this guy get away. He won't stop from what the Doctor in the red cap told us, you know that."
"Yes I know that the Avengers are supposed to save the universe and everything but...what if one of us gets hurt, or we both do and Morgan loses her parents. She's just a baby I - I love you two 3000. I don't want my last memory of her being me walking with her in the park this morning." I groan letting tears fall down my face, letting fear take over my emotions.
Tony runs his hands up and down my arms pulling me in for a needed hug. "It won't be, alright. You and I have always kicked ass to get back to each other in the end. And Thanos won't stop that now. I love you, 3000 Y/n...and I'll always be by your side." That was always true in the past, but there's still the fear that one day he might not be.
Peter had messed up endangering people's lives trying to be a full on superhero. Tony had to help him out while I spent some time showing Morgan around the remodeled Avengers compound, he's supposed to escorted here by Happy. I'm wearing a simple light pink dress with tan wedge sandles with Tony wearing a black dress suit and tie with his light orange glasses.
"Hey, honey. You look great." His arms wrapped around my waist from behind kissing my neck.
I lean into him looking up from Morgan asleep to the private jet blasting off out the huge glass windows. "Thank you, baby. Peter here yet, because Pepper is freaking out about this whole press conference of the newest Avenger thing."
Tony walks around to stand in front of me, kissing Morgan's head. "Pep will be fine as will the kid. Once I get better at this whole mentor's thing. Nothing to worry about...there here let's go." He gently looped my arm through his as we descend the stairs to see Happy and Peter. "Oh, there they are. How was the ride up?" Happy replied before he followed the three of us closely. "Good." I smile carrying our daughter in my arms as Tony puts an arm around Peter. "I'm sorry I took your suit, you had it coming. Actually it was the perfect story felt moment that you needed, right to urge you on. Wouldn't you think, don't you think?" Peter nods yes in agreement.
"Mr. Stark I uh-" But Tony cut him off. "You screwed the pooch hard, big time. But then you did the right thing. Took the dog to the free clinic, you raised the hybrid puppies.." I jab him in the side raising an eyebrow at his words. "Alright not my best analogy. I was wrong about you. Think with a little mentoring, you'll be a real asset to the team." Peter glanced my way. "The - the team?"
I smile at him once he saw Morgan. "Yep. Peter I'd like you to officially meet Morgan Stark." He smiles taking her baby hand in his big one, grinning from ear to ear. "She's adorable. Y/n."
Tony grinned at me before clearing his getting the kid to focus on what is behind the large door. "There's about 50 reporters behind that door. Real ones, not bloggers." He taps a few things on his wrist watch, unlocking the door holding Spider-Man's new suit. "When you're ready. Why don't you try that on. And Y/n and I will introduce the world to newest official member of the Avengers, Spider-Man."
Peter takes a deep breath completely baffled "I - uh - haha" he chuckles. I smirked at Tony eyeing the upgraded suit. "So after the press conference Happy will show you to your room, your quarters. Where's he in between Vision?" Happy and I lightly laugh at how Vision lives here. "Vision's not big on doors...or walls."
"Thank you Mr. Stark, you to Y/n. But I'm - uh good." Peter said turning to face the two of us. Tony is confused. "You're good. How are you good?" Peter glanced from Tony to me explaining what he thinks is best. "I'd rather just stay on the ground for a little while. A friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Somebody's gotta look out for the little guy, right."
Tony swiped his sunglasses off his face. "You're turning me down. You gotta think about it. Look at that. Look at me. Last chance yes or no?" Peter simply replied. "No. Uh - thank you Mr. Stark" Tony shakes his hand, taking Morgan from my arms. "Yes, Mr. Parker. Very well done." Peter pulls me in for a friendly hug and I squeeze him back gently. "See ya around, Y/n." We broke apart and I pat his arms smiling. "See ya Peter Parker."
Tony closed the door having Peter spin on his feet. "That was a test right. There's a nobody back there?" Tony and I share a look. "Yes, you passed." The large door opened for Pepper to walk out confused. "Where's the kid?" Happy answers her. "He left."
Tony bounced Morgan in his arms telling her. "You know he actually made a really mature choice. Just suprised the heck out of us." Pepper glares at the boys then at me. "Y/n, did you let them screw this up?" I pointed my index finger at Happy not liking my friend mad at me. "He told the kid to go wait in the chair, Pep."
"Are you kidding me. I have a room full of people waiting for some big announcement. What am I gonna tell them!" Pepper stomps up to the man who holds his mouth open. "Think of something. How about uh-"
Tony trailed off before Morgan tugs at his tie looking up at him. "Dada."
Everyone whipped their heads to the tiny infant in pure suprise. "That's an announcement...You said dada. Can you say-" I pick up Morgan from her father's arms, bopping noses. "Mana."
She giggles as Tony wraps his arms around me kissing me deeply. "Brilliant. Just like her parents." I kissed him back softly smiling. "That she is."
All of us got thrown around when we crash landed the ship onto a weird looking planet. "So much for an easy landing, boys." I groan holding myself up by the palms of my hands, seeing Peter hanging upside down by his webbing. "Let me just say, if aliens wind up implanting eggs in my chest or something...and I eat one of you, I'm sorry." Tony helped me to my feet aiming a finger at him. "I do not want another single pop culture reference out of you for the rest of the trip, you understand." Peter replied. "I'm trying to say that something is coming."
People come out from a ship and started attacking us. I aim my hand blasters at someone wearing an helmet with red eyes. Tony aims his blaster at a gray alien guy, Strange times up a girl with alien antennas and Peter has a gun pressed to his head by the gut in the weird looking helmet that shouts to everyone. "Everybody stay where you are. Chill the F out!" He clicks the side of his helmet making it disappear for me to see a guy with dirty blonde hair and green eyes. "I'm gonna ask you this one time. Where is Gamora?"
"Yeah. I'll do you one better. Who's Gamora?" Tony flips his iron mask down after I do mine. "I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora?" The grey alien spoke. "Tell me where the girl is or I swear to you I'm gonna French fry this little freak." The human looking dude said. He's attractive. Uh Y/n! "Let's do it. You shoot my guy and I'll blast him. Let's go!" Tony aims his blaster at the grey alien dude who said. "Do it, Quill! I can take it." The alien girl cries. "No, he can't take it!"
Whipping my head around I locked gaze with the handsome Quill guy who presses his gun against Peter's head once more. "Oh, yeah. You don't wanna tell me where she is. That's fine. I'll kill all four of you and I'll beat it out of Thanos myself. Starting with you." Strange holds a orange looking space shield in front of him confused. "All right, let me ask you this one time. What master do you serve?" Quill scoffs in annoyance of the question. "What master do I serve. What am I supposed to say, Jesus?" Lowering my orange hand blaster I ask blushing when Quill and I share a glance. "You're from Earth."
"I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri." Quill voices making me roll my eyes. Idiot. He's an attractive idiot. "Yeah, that's on Earth, dipshit. What are you hassling us for?" Peter finally spoke in a question. "So you're not with Thanos?" Quill lowers his gun from his head. "With Thanos. No, I'm here to kill Thanos. He took my girl. Wait, who are you?" Peter dropped his Spider-Man mask. "We're the Avengers, man."
"Mr. Lord, can you get your folks to circle up?" Tony asks as we're all trying to come up with a plan to get the stone from Thanos. "Mr. Lord. Star-Lord is fine." Quill corrects as the others come closer. "We gotta coalesce. Cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude..." Quill cut Tony off. "Dude, don't call us plucky. We don't know what it means. All right, we're optimistic, yes. I like your plan. Except it sucks, so let me do the plan...and that way it might be really good." The grey guy whose name I learned was Drax spoke up. "Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe."
I take a step towards Quill asking. "Dance off?" He shakes his head. "It's nothing." His eyes trail up and down me smirking. "What's your name, beautiful." A blush rises to my cheeks. "Y/n Stark...and you?" He smiles shaking my hand that I'd stuck out for him. "Peter Quill but you can call me Star-Lord." Tony tugs at my forearm pulling me away from him. "Don't encourage him!"
"Don't forget, I'm half human. So that 50% of me that's stupid...that's a 100% you." Quill makes a circle to us with his index finger. Tony shakes his head at the stupid statement. "Your math is blowing my mind." The alien girl pointed to Strange who has the green stone in his chest glowing as he shakes harshly. "Excuse me. But does your friend often do that?" Strange drops to the ground gasping in heavy pants.
"I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict." Quill steps closer to my back as I'm bent on one knee beside my husband. "How many did you see?" Strange trails off a number. "14,000,605." Tony leans forward to question concerned. "How many did we win?" Strange holds a terrified look of fear with me, making me gulp in terror. "One."
One chance to save the universe. Wonderful odds.
Thanos appeared on this planet standing in front of Dr. Strange. Swiping my hand over my grey bracelet I made my iron suit connect over my body. Everyone tried to get the large hand Gotnlet off of him. But as we have him held down Quill asks him about his girlfriend. His girlfriends sister said she didn't come back from another planet but he did with one of the stones. I groan using my magic to help Tony and Peter pry the gantlet off him but I'm getting tired at how strong it's secured on this guy. "Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now. You understand. Don't, don't. Don't engage. We almost got this off!" Tony begs harshly pulling on the device with Peter. But he doesn't listen getting in Thanos's purple face. "Asshole, tell me you didn't do it!"
Quill punched him making Tony try and stop him. Peter lost his grip on the device and I'm blasted to the ground hard making my vision blur. Thanos raised his glove hand as he harnessed the power from the planet using it against us. Thanos failed to grab the Time Stone from Dr. Strange. I held myself up by my left elbow seeing Tony blast Thanos. "You throw another moon at me and I'm gonna lose it." Thanos breathed out. "Stark." Tony asked. "You know me?" I force myself up and on my feet, activating my flight thrusters. "You're not the only one cursed with knowledge." The purple man said before Tony shot him with large rockets. "My only curse is you."
Tony tried to beat Thanos but he's too strong with that gantlet, stabbing Tony with a large piece of metal breaking his iron suit. I conjure all my powers onto Thanos who gets knocked backwards with tears falling down my face in anger of hurting the man I love. "You think wiping out half the universe is a good thing, well I say the universe will be better with you gone Thanos!" He grunts getting to his feet he uses the gantlet on me, drawing me into his face. His hand around my neck as I gasped for breath feeling the powerful gantlet drawing out my powers my body. "You're strong Y/n, you're powers match no one. I like your fire, but I believe I'm doing good." He aggressively throws my body into Tony's making us both groan in heavy pants as he bends down on a knee to us. "You have my respect, Stark. When I'm done, half of humanity will still be alive. I hope they remember you."
"Spare their lives...and I will give you the stone." Dr. Strange pants crawling from large pieces of rubble. Tears fall from my eyes as I reached out towards him begging. "Strange...you can't." Thanos secures the Time Stone from him, the large gantlet with all the stones glows bright as he disappears off the planet. Tony looks to Strange who stated. "We're in the Endgame now."
Tony moans getting to his feet as I sense a dark presence fall over. Drax, the alien girl and Quill faded away into dust particles. I spin on my feet hearing Strange who fades away as well not before saying. "Tony. Y/n, there was no other way." I gasped worried I'm about to never see Morgan again because of Thanos, but Peter's voice broke me from my trance.
"Mr. Stark. Y/n." Whipped our heads in his direction I swear racing towards him. "Oh hell no, Peter. Not you, I'm begging it not be you too." He grips my suit breathing picking up. "I don't feel so good." Thanos please not this kid.
Tony steps forward no longer wearing his destroyed Iron Man suit, catching the both of us with a grunt as I hugged both boys tight in my arms. "You're all right." Peter stuttered out in pure panic and terror. "I don't...I don't know what's happening. I don't know...I don't want to go. I don't want to go, sir. Please." Tony slowly lowers him to the ground with us hovering over him. "I don't want to go. I don't want to go."
Tony breathes heavily in tears as we watch Peter's body disappear into dust. Tears cloud my vision as I cupped his face in my hands terrified. "Tony...are we gonna disappear too! I don't want to die...I love you, I love you 3000."
He pulls me into his sweatshirt, seeing the glow from his chest piece. "Shhhhh baby I'm here, you're here with me. I love you 3000 too...I promise I will never leave your side, I'll always be right here."
Thanos succeeded in destroying the universe.

10 - Terrorist Threat
Part 11
Iron Stone masterlist
I said "Yes!"
Tony Stark asked me to marry him.
Another attack went off this morning.
Happy ended up in the hospital.
I'm wearing a long sleeved green tea shirt, with black leggings and brown boots. My hair pulled in a braid, with black sunglasses on my nose. A new accessory on my left ring finger. My engagement ring. Tony and I exited the hospital to be surrounded by reporters all clamoring with questions. "Mr. Stark. Miss. L/n, hi there. Our sources are telling us that all signs are pointing to another Mandarin attack. Anything else either of you can tell us?"
I tilted my head down trying to shield myself from their judgement, but a blonde woman gently grab my left arm pulling me away from Tony a little. A camera's flash reflects off my ring when I held up my hand to shield my eyes. "Oh my stars, Tony Stark is off the market. Y/n L/n is now sporting a very expensive jewelry on her left hand!" Reports sworn me as I blushed a deep red, a comforting arm wraps around my waist for me to see Tony. Thank goodness.
His right hand slips into mine, tugging us towards our car but reports follow a make one who questioned. "Hey, Mr. Stark. Miss L/n. When is somebody gonna kill this guy?" Are you freaking serious right now, dude!
"Is that what you want?" Tony turns around as I stand beside him with a concerned face. "Here's a little holiday greeting I've been wanting to send to the Mandarin. I just didn't know how to phrase it until now." I gulped squeezing his hand tightly in an attempt to get him to just leave them wondering. Please don't do something stupid, Ton.
"My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you. I know you're a coward. So I've decided..." He trails off removing his sunglasses quickly as I tipped mine to the tip of my nose getting flashed. "That you just died, pal. I'm gonna come get the body. There's no politics here. It's just good-old fashioned revenge. There's no Pentagon, it's just you and me. And on the off chance you're a man, here's my home address. 10880 Malibu Point. 90265. I'll leave the door unlocked. That's what you wanted, right?" Tony grabs the guys phone aggressively in his hands to smash it on the car hood, pushing me in the backseat and getting in after. "Bill me!"
Once we're home I slammed the front door open and closed with him on my tail. "You are such an idiot! Do you realize what you've done!" He gently spun me around trying to calm my anger. "Y/n, baby. Listen to me-"
I grab my necklace that draws my iron hand over it so I blast him with it. "Ow! O-okay I deserve that. But they wouldn't leave us alone and they went after Happy. I'm done playing his game."
I bawl my hands into fists stomping down to the lab, swiping my hand over the security panels. "Jarvis! Put the house on totally securely lockdown, now!" The AI response is "right away miss Y/n." I slumped over into a computer chair ordering to my fiance. "Find this asshole now. So we can get out of lockdown and start living our peaceful life."
He gulped but talked with Jarvis for hours, trying to figure what Happy had discovered before a doorbell rang, walking me from my nap on his messy work table. "Huh - what the, who the, Ton?"
A computer screen pops up from Jarvis showing the front door to him as he sits on a crate high above the floor. "Are we still at ding-dong?" He bangs his hand angrily on the table. "We're supposed to be on total. . .security lockdown. Come on, I threatened a terrorist!"
"There's only so much I can do, sir, when you give the world's press your home address." He slides off his table slipping on his Iron Man suit. "Told ya so." I snickered getting up and going to find Pepper who thought we needed a vacation away from here.
Tony is downstairs talking with a one night stand girl from years ago as I exited my room seeing Pepper tossing our bags over the railing. "Pepper we don't have to leave tonight." She turned back to me, seeing my annoyed demeanor. "Yes we do. We haven't spent any girl on girl time since you guys saved the world." I sighed as we walked down the stairs. Pepper and Tony started arguing that we can't go because the man says so. I leaned against the window ceil looking out on the sunset that reflected off the water, the one night stand girl shouted over the pair yelling. "Do we need to worry about that!"
The tv screen shows a missile heading straight for our house. I squint my eyes seeing it getting closer. Tony screamed out before the missile blasts through the house. "Y/n!" Everyone went flying in the empact. My vision blurs together with the intense ear ringing as I bawled my hands into fists, creating a orange shield around myself along with my Iron suit. My body slammed to the floor aggressively as I see Tony directed his suit to cover Pepper, while the other woman and himself hit the floor with the same force. I grunted rolling on my side to see more missiles being launched from helicopters. "Crap, Tony!" He gets to his only to get thrown out thr broken window calling out. "Get out, I'm right behind you!"
Pepper struggled to fly the suit as I powered mine on. Once she's outside Tony forced his suit to attache to him as the floor collapses beneath him. I try grabbing him but my right thruster is broken. A gun goes off a helicopter destroying the rock that the house sits on. Tony and I run around the house trying to destroy the helicopters that kept shooting at us with everything they had. I gripped the cliff seeing Tony closer to the water than me. Some rumble knocks him off as I screamed, blasting into the water after him. "Tony! Jarvis flight thrusters!" I coughed taking in water as my thrusters went off, while I gripping Tony's iron suit for deer life. He's completely passed out from drowning as my eyes fall heavily from all the damage, I feel blood on my face and my right leg burned from the first missile launched. Please be alive Tony. Please keep me alive. I begged fully passing out.
I was shaken awake by Tony's panicked voice. "Y/n! Come on please, don't be dead!"
I gasped seeing him hovering above me as Snow falls down on us. Great just great. Jarvis powered down and our suits powers did the same. We found an abandoned house and a kid named Harley that he asked assistants for, he also left Pepper a message so she wouldn't think we're dead. I stumbled onto to the dusty couch feeling every part of my body hurting severely. This is not how I expected our day going at all.
I forced myself up and onto my feet to wince from a sharp pain in my right leg. Rolling up my legging I see a burn mark and dried blood. Reaching for a piece of glass I used it as a mirror to find my other injuries. My hair is a knotty mess, covered with dirt and blood that makes it stick to my forehead. My braid is now completely fallen out, so it's all a reck. Some cuts on my face and arms. Lifting up my tea shirt I winced harshly to find a shard of glass sticking in my hip, I slowly removed it brushing my hand over it to see that my powers only sealed it for a few hours. Why can't I fully fix my wounds anymore. I look down at my necklace to see theirs a crack in the stone from the explosions. That can't be good.
Tony sighed in disappointment making me glance over my shoulder at him once I've put my shirt down again. "I did this. . .I did that all to you." He sniffs letting tears slip, thankfully the kid isn't around.
"You didn't do this to me Tony. The bad guys did-" He runs his hands down his face bending his head down to his knees.
"I gave everyone in the world my address. So yes let me blame myself-" I cut him off by getting in his lap, cupping his and kissing him to shut him up.
"Anthony Stark. I'm with you, always." He presses his face into my chest taking in a breath. "Y/n L/n, I'm with you too."
A lot of things happened. The Harley kid told us a story of a guy who was a hero but went crazy and built a bomb, killing himself. Also this crazy guy and girl with bodies that turned red as they used their powers attacked us. Tony and I stoed away in a news van. The reporter gasped as Tony raised a finger to his lips. The reporter told his mom on the phone as I untucked my necklace from under my torn green tea shirt. "Mom, I need to call you back. Something magical is happening."
The guys takes off his glasses freaking out. "Tony Stark and his fiance are in my van." I wave my hands around trying to get him to stop. "Shh. Keep it down."
"Tony and Y/n Stark are in my van!" I blushed hiding my face in Tony's shirt as he rebuttals to the news guys. "No, no they're not." The guy nearly jumped up and down. "I knew you two were still alive!" Tony waves his arms whispering. "Get in the van, close the door."
The news guy is named Gary who actually has a tattoo of him on his arm. The bad guy who shot at us is now on the computer. The guy and girl from earlier were experimented on and solid to the Mandarin bad guy. "Harley, where is he really. Just look on the screen and tell me where it is." I asked through the speaker phone to the kid with Jarvis and our suits back at the house.
"Um Y/n, it does say Miami, Florida." Harley replies as Tony jumps in the driver's seat. "Okay, first things first, I need both armors. Where are we at with it?" Harley said. "Uh, it's not charging." Tony floors the breaks of the car, knocking me around a little. I groan holding my head a little seeing my necklace swinging from the rearview mirror that I hung it from. Tony what was that for.
"Actually, they are charging, but the power source is questionable. It may not succeed in revitalizing the Mark 42." Tony shouted back at Jarvis, his breathing quickening. "What's questionable about electricity. All right. It's my suit, and I can't. . . I'm not gonna. . . I don't wanna. . .oh, god not again." He gets out of the car as Harley questioned. "Tony. Are you having another attack. I didn't even mention New York-"
I quickly get out of the car to see him laying up against the car. Dropping to my knees brushing my fingers through his hair to calm him down. "You just had to mention it by name." He grunts as I pressed my hands against his chest, the orange power running from my fingers to his reactor. I feel his heartrate slowly to a normal rate as I closed my eyes seeing the portal once again with his body falling down to the ground and a tightness in my chest.
"Ah! Tony no!" I gasped pressing my face into the dirt road, my hands over my head as I bend in a fetal position heavily breathing.
Rough hands removed my face from the ground to see Tony's concerned face. "Y/n, I'm here alright! Just breathe slowly. . .Now lets pull ourselves together and beat the Mandarin bitch."
I suck in a breath shoving my face into his chest for a moment before we got to our feet, found guns and entered a mansion where the Mandarin was said to be that next morning. I whipped my gun around the house hearing voices in the large bedroom, kicking open the door I scoffed seeing two naked girls in the bed. Someone comes out of the bathroom as Tony enters behind me. "You're not him. The Mandarin, the real guy. Where. Where's the Mandarin, where is he?"
He clocks his gun rounding the bed with this guy with a beard as I searched around the room to see film equipment. Greensceen and costumes you'd only have those things unless you were an actor. "Ton, he's faking it." He looks over his shoulder. "What?" The guy at gunpoint explains in panicked fear. "My name is Trevor. Trevor Slattery. I'm an actor. It's just a role. 'The Mandarin,' see, it's not real."
The trevor guy grabs a beer as I brushed my left hand through my hair, wincing at the bruising that still remained. "You're performance, trevor! Where people died-" I snapped but my body freezes feeling a cold gun barrel against my head. Oh god. I'm now at gunpoint.
"Look around you. The costumes, green screen. Honestly, I wasn't on location for half this stuff. And when I was, it was movie magic, love." Trevor pointed around the room as Tony had his back to me. His right hand still gripped the gun as he stepped in Trevor's face angered.
"I'm sorry, but I got a best friend who's in a coma and he might not wake up. Sp you're gonna have to answer for that. You're still going down, pal. You under-"
I screamed feeling a hand roughly covering my mouth as a tranquilizer dart goes in my neck. "Tony!"
He spun around to knock my holder out with his gun but the guy knocked him to the ground, shoving the same dart in his neck. I collapse beside him on the floor trying to reach out for him with my right hand. My vision blurs together in darkness before I can even finish the word.
"Ton..."
