Hero - Stony
I'm told I'm a hero. That everything I do has consequences, and I have to always be there to make sure everyone is okay..
No one ever makes sure I'm okay.
I have to protect everyone and make sure no one is scared.
No one ever makes sure I'm not scared.
I'm meant to protect them, but no one cares if I'm protected.
Except Tony.
He's the only person that asks.
In the midst of battle through my com-link I'll hear 'Are you alright Cap?'
With Tony I can just be Steve. I don't have to be Captain America. I don't have to be a hero. He doesn't ask me to be anything more.
When I wake up crying at night and I'm scared, he holds me close and talks me through it.
Tony doesn't care if I'm not a hero all the time. He doesn't expect me to be a hero.
To Tony, I'm just a man.
But to me, Tony is my hero.
