sweet n’ sour, oh the memories
First, tags for the people who wrote half of this prompt: @redwings-mechanic and @transjoaquintorres
Sometimes Tony doesn’t remember things. He’ll desperately search his genius mind but the massive darkness always clouds over things from before. The things in the after are clearer, especially after his 14th birthday.
He’ll scream and cry; tears decorating his face with fear and sadness, evidence of the ever present darkness. Sometimes Rhodey is there to pull him out, with soft ‘Anthony’s and bear hugs. Other times he isn’t.
But it’s not the fear or the darkness that’s the worst, it’s the knowledge that it will happen again, it is inevitable, and he might never know why.
