"Boss, I believe what you are trying to accomplish is impossible..." The AI's voice rang through the workshop

"Friday, never tell me what is impossible. I will always find a way to make it possible, heck, I made you didn't I?" Tony snarked back, his hands working carefully around his damaged armor.

"Of course boss, I will never doubt your abilities again." Friday said quite smug.

"Are you sassing me?" Tony gawked.

"Never" Tony chuckled as he kept working on his armor. Only his AI would be this sarcastic.

It had been a month since Siberia, and yet nothing had changed. Cap and his allies were still hiding in Wakanda, Vision was still moping around, the poor dude, Rhodey was still trying to recover, Natasha was who knows where, and Tony was still on Lockdown mode. Yah, things were quite cheerful at the tower, not. Tony had eventually forgave Bucky for killing his parents, now knowing that it wasn't really him but the Winter Soldier who did it. But he never forgave Steve. How could he though, I mean the dude complained about his teammates keeping secrets during Ultron, and yet he kept the biggest one yet. Tony would've rather he told him and have had comfort from his friends afterwords, rather than watching it actually happen and have the murder standing right there. But whatever, can't go back now, but Tony still keeps the phone in his pocket, just in case, although he knows he'll probably never call it.

What really didn't help at all through this was that he had also just broken up with Pepper. He still remembers the pain he felt when he heard the words "we're over". Yah, he defiantly didn't sleep that night at all. The worst thing was is that he had been trying so hard to do right and be good, and then everything just came crashing down again. He wondered if it was still worth it at all, to keep going. The blame was never going to go away, people are still going to hate him, and he's still going to keep messing up. No matter what he does. Rhodey tried to convince him that this wasn't his fault but it was. It was always his fault, no matter what, he always messed.

Sometimes he stayed up at night wondering wether it was worth it to live anymore...

He had tried so so so hard to keep the avengers together. They were the only thing close to family he had ever had. Yet, they all betrayed him, just like Obadiah had. At least he still had Vision and Rhodey.

"Boss I hate to interrupt, but I believe Prince Thor is on the roof." Friday interrupted.

"Thor?" Tony didn't think the God of Thunder would arrive for another month or so. He quickly put his tools down and rushed into the elevator making his way up to the roof.

Once he reached the roof he was greeted by a giant bear hug.

"Ahh Man of Iron, I am glad to see you on this fine day!" Thor boomed, his arm wrapping around Tony's shoulders quite to tightly for Tony's liking.

"Me to big guy." Tony said patting Thor's stomach. "Say, why don't we go inside. We have some things to discuss."

"Why of course, I have many things to discuss with you too, Man of Iron."

They made their way to the elevator and stood in awkward silence as they descended down to the commons. Once they got there, Tony offered Thor a spot on the the couch while Tony made himself comfy in the seat next to him.

"Where is everyone on this fine day?" Thor boomed raising his hand in the air.

"That's what we're here to talk about."

"THE CAPTAIN DID WHAT?!" Thor yelled, his voice so loud it broke a glass sitting on the kitchen counter.

"Hey, calm down it done and over with, please sit down big guy." Tony pleaded eyeing all of his valuables. Thor took his seat, but it did not get rid of the anger he was beholding.

"How could the Captain do such a thing! On Asgard keeping secrets is a crime worse than murder!" Thor bellowed his hand curled into a fist in the air. "At least tell me he apologized!"

"He did, he did." Tony said reaching into his pocket and pulling out the forsaken letter. He handed it to Thor who skimmed over it. Tony watched him as he say a mix of relief, displeasure, and anger flood his face all at once.

"This is not anywhere near a good enough apology!" Thor said throwing the paper down onto the table. "He apologized only to take it back. When I see him he's going to get Mjolnir straight to the face. Where is the Captain now!"

"Wakanda." Tony answered. "They've been in hiding for a month now."

"Well then lets go to them!" Thor bellowed putting his fist in the air catching mjolnir as it zoomed towards them.

"ahahah!" Tony all bout shouted, then lowered his voice, realizing he just yelled at a god. "Not so fast. We can't just go there, we need to have permission before entering Wakanda and also I doubt they would want to see me right now."

"But they betrayed you, you can't let them get away with this." Thor asked his voice suddenly soft.

"I know, but there's nothing I can do now." Tony said, "Let's change the subject now, uh how's you and Jane?" Tony was more than ready to change the subject.

"Uh, we broke up." Thor said sadly.

Tony was shocked, they were perfect for each other. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's okay, I think I may have found another fair maiden for me." Thor said proudly. "How's you and Pepper?"

"Uh, we're taking a break..." Tony said, his voice on the edge of breaking as he looked down to the ground. Guilt overwhelming him.

"Well I hope that break isn't too long." Thor said, patting Tony's shoulder in an attempt at comfort.

"Yah. Me too." Tony knew that what he said was a lie, they weren't taking a break at all, they were over. It was them against the world, but now...

"Well I'm getting sleepy so I'm going to head to bed, you're room is in the same place as last time." Tony said eager to get away from the commons.

"Yes of course, and thank you again Man of Iron for letting me stay in your quarters." Thor said, his voice hinted disappointment knowing when Tony left, he would be alone.

"No problem, and Vision is on his floor if you would like to talk to him. He needs some cheering up." Tony said making for his exit. The god's face seemed to Brighten at this as he made his way to see Vision.

Natasha made her way to the commons, she was tired and hungry. She had had a long day, trying to get information out of Steve about what happened a month ago in Siberia. The truth was that she was very worried about Tony. He had went back to his old drinking habits after he and Pepper broke up, and with each passing day, he seemed to get worse and worse. She was more worried about his physical health more than anything, the man had only slept for a total of six hours the past month and has only eaten once a week. She needed to fix things fast or else her favorite genius might expire.

It didn't really help that Tony was avoiding her, every since that day on the balcony. She regretted it a lot, and she knew Tony did to, or else he wouldn't be avoiding her. She really wanted to fix things between each other, but for the first time in her life, she didn't know how. It also didn't help that she had feelings for the man too. Ever since her mission to check up on him. She had seen through his mask, his brokenness and sorrow, and everything had screamed at her help him. But she couldn't get in the way between him and Pepper, besides they were the golden couple. She had tried to push down these feelings, first with Steve, then with Bruce, but it never satisfied her. Natasha had saw that Tony had really really loved Pepper especially after they broke up, and she just couldn't get between that, so here she stood alone.

She had walked into the kitchen not really expecting anyone to be there, but apparently someone was.

"Lady Natasha!" Thor boomed. Getting up from his seat to embrace Natasha. She was startled at first but then gave in to the hug.

"We didn't expect you for another month or so." Natasha said, flinching at the contact.

"Aye, neither did I, but Odin no longer required my services, so I came here" Thor said disappointed. "Only to find out that our family has been torn."

Natasha flinched at the word "family". Yes, they had been close, but she never really considered that they were her family, and now, what could she do, they were torn apart, and she was the traitor.

"Yah..." Was all Natasha thought to say.

"At least you're here now, we should celebrate!" Thor boomed.

"Nah I'm really tired I'm going to head to bed," Natasha exclaimed. "Have you seen Tony?"

"Yes I have, he seemed most down today, I didn't know how to cheer him up." Thor explained.

"Do you know where he is?" Natasha asked, arms crossed.

"He said he had went to bed." Thor exclaimed.

Natasha raised an eyebrow at that. "Oh he did?"

"Verily." Thor said.

"Well I'm going to get some shut eye, see you in the morning!" Natasha said heading towards the elevator. She knew what she had told Thor. but in reality, she was going to make sure her genius didn't run himself into a wall.
