Another tragedy. Set after episode "Iron Monger Lives". R&R
I don't own IMAA
Madame Masque stood in front of gates of Stark mansion. "Okay, Tony. Your dad is cured and you're alive…" she smirked "…but I'll change it. You will pay for your mistakes, Stark!"
She came into the hall and tried to remember where Tony's room was. As Madame Masque remembered it, she went to her victim. The door was opened, desk lamp was switched on: its light illuminated the part of room. "He doesn't sleep…perfectly. I'll help him to fall asleep." Whitney thought and turned into Maria.
Tony lay on his bed. It was a late night but he couldn't sleep after events of yesterday. Damn memories… Suddenly he heard someone's steps in the corridor. "But I'm the one here…" He thought and said into the darkness: "Who is here?" Figure walked into the light. "Mom…Mommy, is it really you?" Boy asked with a hope and sat on his bed. "Maria" approached to him and sat beside Tony. "Yeah, sonny. It's really me. Probably, you want to know why I left you and your dad. I'm sorry, Tony. But I didn't have another choice. These thugs would kill you and Howard and I couldn't expose you to that risk. So I left. But now it's over. Bad guys are in jail and you, Howard and I are safe. And we will be together…" "As a normal family, yeah?" Tony asked.
He believed her. He always was too naive but now, tortured by his own memories about real Maria, 17 years old teenager was 5 years old child. Infinitely naive…infinitely innocent…
"Yes, Tony." She hugged teen. Tony smiled and whispered: "You won't leave, yeah? Please don't go away again." "Maria" kindly smiled, still hugging Tony: "I won't go away, sonny." But suddenly her smile turned evil. "You will." As she said it, the edge of a knife was embedded right in Tony's heart. Boy gasped and cried out in pain. "Maria" carefully lowered him on the bed and took out the knife. Blood dripped down its edge on the floor; his wound bled and blood colored his white t-shirt. Boy still looked at "Maria" but now he looked with disbelief. She grinned. "Sleep well, my dear sonny." and turned into Madame Masque. "You…" Tony whispered and tried to sit but he couldn't. Girl removed her mask. Whitney Stane didn't say anything and just evilly smiled to dying genius. Tony wanted to complete his phrase but blood filled his throat and mouth and he started to suffocate. His strength faded away. Whitney went to the desk lamp and switched it off. Then she looked at her enemy again and left into the dark corridor.
She smiled. She's done her revenge. Tony Stark was dead.
