"Ok Friday, do a full check again, reassess the physical damage and compatibility with all energy systems that could replace the stone."
"Boss, are you sure? We've already checked, there's not much we can do and I don't think ..."
"Boss ... if I may, you should try to rest"
Pepper entered the room "Friday is right, Tony, it's late ... you should sleep"
"I can't Pep ... I ... I have to ..."
"I have to try Pep, I have to save him at least, maybe I can do something ... I have to do something .... "
"No Pepper ... God, I'm Tony Stark, I created Iron Man, I created Jarvis, I created extraordinary things, I helped to create him too and ... and this asshole dared to die without even..." Tony tried to fight back the tears "He can't just be dead ..." He sighed to try to calm down "You know what would be useful? If Maximoff were here" He laughed bitterly "She knew him well, she would find a way ... you know they were seeing each other ? "
"They were seeing each other seems an understatement considering that he had bought her a house in New Jersey"
"Yes, I told him to buy her some flowers, a necklace... but he decided on the house ... he is quite an exhibitionist ... was"
Pepper put her hand on his shoulder "I know you want to save someone Tony ... I know you tried to save Peter ... I know you wish you could at least save Vision ... But maybe he wouldn't want to be saved ... not in a world without her "
"We have to get them back Pepper ... all of them"
"You'll find a way ... You're Tony Stark"
