AN: Spoiler for the end of the movie. Just a quick look into Tony's mind.

Disclaimer: It all belongs to Marvel, Disney, and so on and so forth. I own absolutely nothing.


"Might as well."

As Jarvis dials Pepper's phone, you think about what you could say.

"I'll need a rain check on that celebration I promised?"

"This is why I didn't want to do my homework."

She would not appreciate his quips at a time like this.

"Thank you, for absolutely everything"?

"I'm sorry I was such a self-absorbed jerk" ?

"You were my rock, I couldn't have done it without you. You were worth more than 12 percent" ?

Too sappy. Too sentimental.

"Pepper, I lo-"

Call failed

There are many things you could have said, but in the end you won't say anything.

You wish you could.
