A/N Welcome back! Also for the record, this is ignoring the events of Thor 2! Also Beta'd by my friend Cara!
The world had gone blurry and Tony's thoughts were all over the place by that point, still occasionally settling on Loki but not as frequently. Blackness started to seep into his vision and cut him off from the world completely. All he could hear was Jarvis' worried talking and attempts to get someone to come help however the hero had full faith in his ability to stop the AI before he even tried.
His hearing went and he knew that he was close and if someone walked in at that moment, they had a very slim chance to save him. Mean while, Jarvis had overthrown Tony's blocks and decided to call back the three Avengers that were in the penthouse previously. Bruce's phone started ringing and he slowly picked up "Hello?" He said wondering why Jarvis was calling him when he was supposed to be on Tony's side. "Dr Banner, please get your teammates and return to Stark Tower, sir has drunkenly decided to end his own life." The AI said with far too much emotion for a machine. Bruce quickly confirmed that he was on his way and yelled at Thor and Clint up ahead of him to 'get their asses to the tower!' in a very worried but unusually rude fashion for the man.
The three Avengers ran onto the floor and straight into Tony's bedroom to find the billionaire lying on his bed too still for the doctor's liking. "Clint call SHIELD! Thor put mjolnir down and try and find a note, I know Tony wouldn't leave the world without some kind of goodbye!" Bruce started to do CPR as Clint frantically yelled down the phone at some SHIELD agent. Thor looked around frantically and finally discovered a crumpled note on the bedroom floor.
Bruce tried to stay professional as he pressed against his friend's chest. Tony's breathing was shallow but the doctor thanked any Gods that existed that he was breathing at all. Meanwhile Thor was trying to comprehend what he was reading, Tony and Loki. They couldn't have, could they? Loki was interested in women our entire adolescence! And Tony, he was a womanizer as mortals say! Then the silence was broken by SHIELD agents running in and pushing the Avengers away from their fallen comrade, putting him onto a stretcher and taking him to the landing pad to take him back to the helicarrier.
"Stay here, we'll update you on what happens when it does." A familiar female agent deadpanned "Natasha, promise me that we'll know the instant it anything happens" Bruce demanded, knowing he'd get nothing from her with courtesy at that moment "I swear I'll do everything in my power for you to know Bruce." The three men accepted this and sat on the chairs nearby. It felted like hours before Thor decided to speak.
"I believe you'd be interested in reading Tony's message now," he said quietly "but I warn you it's unbelievable" Clint was still on his phone trying to get them into SHIELD to see Tony. Bruce took the paper in his hands and read through it wishing he could deny what he was reading. "H-he wouldn't, he couldn't!" Bruce cried his voice cracking and tears finally falling down his cheeks.
"What wouldn't he do?" Clint asked, hanging up on the man on the other end of the phone. "In short, Tony was dating Loki" Bruce said trying to understand what happened while Clint scoffed and took the note reading the text multiple times before his eyes widen in realisation "That motherfucker!" He shouted "'please don't blame yourself for this, you did what you thought was right' Loki is the reason he did this, that little faggot!" Causing Thor to glare at him and Bruce to look up sadly.
The god sat up and said "I know my brother was not a favourite of our team but I don't see how this connects to Tony's attempt..." not finishing his sentence, knowing it was unneeded. Clint sighed for the second time that day, trying work out how to explain his thoughts to Thor without getting himself pounded into the floor by mjolnir. "Thor, did you ever hear of relationship abuse on Asgard?" He asked seriously "No... No my brother would never hurt someone he was courting! It's one of the morals he'd never disown!" he cried in disbelief.
... Then Clint's ringtone went off. The sound vibrated around the large room. "Nat? Is Tony okay?!" the archer cried hoping that she'd deliver good news. "He's unconscious and breathing properly now, but he's still not one hundred percent stable. You guys can come to the helicarrier now though." The spy responded quickly before adding "Fury didn't appreciate being hung up on earlier by the way" Clint tried to smile as he said his goodbyes and turned to speak to the others. He explained that they could go on board but missed out that Tony was unstable. Bruce didn't need to hear that.
...That's when they met Loki.
A/N oooo a cliffhanger! Review!
