Tony/Bruce
Trigger warnings: attempted suicide, self hate
I was doing my morning route through the city in my suit when I got the news. I heard a voice come through the intercom, " , somebody is on the phone for you. They say it's important." It was my new secretary. Pepper and I decided we were better as friends so she took a job offer and left me to find a secretary. "Reroute the call to me..." Damn what was her name? "Mary" "Rerouting the call to you, and it's Jessica," Jessica replied. "Hello? , I am calling on the behalf of SHIELD. We need you at SHIELD Hospital immediately. There has been an incident with ," the small voice delivers me surprising news. I thought that Bruce couldn't get injured because of The Hulk. " ?" the voice jolted me out of my surprise. In two seconds I am on my way to the hospital. I mumble, "Jarvis, disconnect call then call Fury." I land in the hospital parking lot as Fury picks up, "Stark, I take it you've heard the news." "Of course I heard the fucking news. How did he injury himself? I thought he was indestructible," I nearly scream at Fury. Fury thinks for a moment then replies, "He is there for his mental health instead of his physical health" I pace then respond, "What is that supposed to mean?" Instead of answering Fury opens the door and pulls me into the hospital. "First door on the right. Be gentle with him." I walk into the room and immediately see Bruce staring sullenly out the window. Bruce seemed to sense a presence because without turning around he says, "Why didn't it work?" He turns to me with a look of despair and at the sight of him looking so depressed makes me want to sob. What happened to my slightly introvert but bubbly friend? Bruce answers my unasked question, "I tried again but it didn't work. I tied a rope around my neck and jumped off a building but The Hulk just ripped it off and crashed to the ground." I felt like throwing up my best friend had attempted suicide before I even knew he was upset. He had tried to end the suffering like I had all those years ago right after my parents died.
