Author's Note:
I had this idea for a story after going through multiple Avengers marathons (yes I might have a problem, but it's a good problem) and decided that I wanted to try and make my own spin of things.
The first half installment of this story will be me going through the first half of all the movies and leading up to Infinity War, and then proceeding with Endgame. Of course there will be my own elements added since after all, it is my story and I absolutely love Stony.
There will be quotes from the movies that are indeed within the story as I felt their presence was necessary, and some of the scenes some people; if not most will be familiar with, but with practically twists. You'll see what I mean, it's a story after all.
Anyways, I would like to say that I hope you enjoy the story until the end. I of course do not own any of the characters here, and all right are reserved to Marvel.
The story is rated M for content that will appear later in the story, but for now I will tell you that it contains very foul language (because Tony Stark isn't Tony Stark without it), sexual themes, and depicts of abuse and suicidal thoughts. This is also a slash (MalexMale) so if you aren't into that you should stop reading, and you have warned.
Happy reading, and enjoy the journey!
He stared at the space in front of him, alone in his thoughts. His gaze focusing on the view of the phone right in front of him, relishing the moment of him being by himself. He should be used to this since he always worked down in his workshop by himself - well, except for the other machines down there.
Why did this hurt more than it should?
Oh yea, maybe because every time he stared at the phone he knew who he was thinking of. He knew he had to make the call and tell him, but if he had to admit it he was scared.
Scared of what the other might say, scared he might not pick up. He had no other choice, but to at least try. It had been a gruesome 2 years ever since he last saw him, nightmares still plagued his subconscious. He wanted them to stop, he didn't like the weakness that followed, or the emptiness of his bed whenever he woke up. It was all his fault, and the one chance he had to fix it, he was too scared.
What changed all of this, was after Banner, or rather the Hulk, had fallen through the stairs and told him about the being known as Thanos, did his fear had gotten worse. The words circulating inside of his head.
"He's coming.. T-Thanos is coming!"
He swallowed the lump in his throat and licked his dry lips as he opened the phone, looking at the only contact contained within the device, memories of him resurfacing as his fingers trembled before pressing the call button.
He stood there anxiously as it rang.
And rang.
And rang.
He was about to close the phone and tell the others that he wasn't answering until he heard the others voice clearly.
"Hello?" He said, making the other male freeze, as words were caught in his throat making him unable to properly form a sentence structure to answer the other voice. He knew he should say something, anything, but nothing was coming out.
"Hello?" The voice said again.
"I miss you." He said automatically. It's as if the words were lingering on his lips the entire time he stood there, trying to think of what to say. He mentally kicked himself, but he knew the words were true as soon as they came out.
"Tony?" He questioned. The other wondered why, or more precisely, what he needed after 2 years of not talking to each other.
"I miss you Steve. Please come home."
Tony bit his lip to keep from whimpering after practically begging the other male to return. He didn't want it to come out that way, but he couldn't stand how long he had gone without ever working up the courage or the nerve to call Steve.
"Tony what's wrong?" Steve asked. A slight hint of panic and worry in his voice.
"Earth is in danger. An all powerful being known as Thanos is heading here and he's after these things called the infinity stones." Tony managed to say. He was trembling a bit more with each word. He told Steve about how Thanos fought against the Hulk and Thor, practically beating the Hulk to a pulp and killing Thor, his brother, and the rest of the Asgardians on the ship by using the Power Stone he already possessed. Thanos had been inside of his head for six years. Tormenting him with every passing day every since the Chitauri invasion in New York.
Suddenly, he felt a shift beneath his feet as if there was an earthquake or something relative in size that had just graced the Earth with its presence.
"Tony, who's Thanos and what-"
"I'm sorry to cut you off, but Steve wherever you are just be safe and prepare for a fight. I don't know the full extent of what we are up against, but I'm sure it's worse than anything we've ever faced. I really miss you and.. One day I hope you can come home and forgive me." He closed the phone with that last statement and exited the New York sanctum where Dr. Stephen Strange and Wong resided.
As he exited the building, Wong, Banner, and Strange were looking right in front of them. He copied their gaze and his jaw dropped. He didn't expect the cause of the earthquake like experience to come from a giant circular ring, barreling through part of New York towards them.
"We're in deep shit aren't we?" Tony stated.
As the circular ring got closer to them, continuing to stir up dust and debris everywhere causing the civilian population to scatter and look for shelter, it came to an abrupt stop. The front door latched open, and a runway soon appeared. Out stepped two foreign creatures, one who was smaller than the other, dressed in all black, white hair, saggy skin on his face, gray skin, and three fingers on each hand. The other one was much taller, heavily built and also dressed in black with shoulder platings, skin more on the greyish yellow side. As they touched the ground of Earth, the smaller one smirked a little at them and proceeded to keep his eyes on Strange.
"Time keeper, we are children of Thanos, and it would be within your best interest to turn over the Time Stone to us." He said, not breaking his gaze with Strange.
In deep shit, they were.
Author's Note:
I hope the prologue got your attention and might have you wondering what will happen next.
I will say the story kicks off next chapter with a visit to the past until we get back up to this point. Also, please bear with me as I try to figure out where I am half the time with my "X years earlier" tidbits XD.
The timeline with start with Iron Man and eventually end up here, in Infinity War. Each chapter will start off with how many years earlier it is, and if there isn't one it is safe to say that we are still in that same timeline.
I would like to just say thank you, and finish this author's note by saying I hope you enjoy this wild ride of a story! Till next time!
