Not You Too
Narrator's POV
"URGH!" Tony groaned.
"You took my father from me." Ivan said. "After I'm done with you, I'm taking everything from you."
"Ngh!" Tony struggled. "My father was the reason I suffer like this." He smirked
"Huh?" Ivan raises a brow.
"Hah!" Tony send all the energy in the reactor into the whip.
It began to get hot, very hot.
"Ah!" Ivan pulled away, dropping Tony.
"Mph!" Stephen stuck his feet out, tripping Ivan. He quickly constricted him with red ropes.
"You should've stayed on our side Ivan." Tony said. "You could've used someone with your smarts."
"Like, I'd work with a murder like you." Ivan said.
Tony lasered the restrains on Stephen, freeing him. "Are you okay?" Tony asked.
"Yes. I'm fine." Stephen said. "A little bruised, but okay."
"Hah..." Tony sighed in relief. "Thank god." He placed a hand on Stephen's cheek, laying his head on Stephen's shoulder.
Ivan chuckled.
Stephen looked up at at him. "What's so funny? We caught you."
"No, I've got you." Ivan said.
Stephen gasped. "No!"
Ivan pulled out a handgun and fired two shots.
With not enough time to create a shield, Stephen shot a blade toward Ivan, striking him in the abdomen.
Bullets hitting metal.
"Uh!" Ivan fell limp, gasping for air on the ground.
"Hah..." Stephen sighed in relief. He turned to Tony. "Tony are you-" He stopped when he saw Tony pull a hand from his abdomen.
Blood stained Tony's palm and fingers.
"Uh, Stephen." Tony said.
There was the sound of buzzing.
Tony looked down at the reactor, it buzzed, it's light flickering on and off.
There was a hole in the reactor.
"Oh." Tony said. "No wonder, I was having a hard time breathing." He said.
"Oh my god, Tony." Stephen said.
"Hah..." Tony slowly began to lay himself on the ground. "It's okay. I'm okay."
"No, you're clearly not okay." Stephen said, placing a hand behind Tony's head, keeping it elevated. "I-" He sucked in a breath. "Uh...umm..." Tears began to fill his eyes. "Jarvis!"
Yes, Dr. Strange?
"Call an ambulance! Police! Anyone!" He said.
An ambulance is on it's way
"My god." Stephen tossed his head back, trying to hold back tears that threatened to fall. "Oh, fuck. Not you too, Tony." Stephen said.
"Hey." Tony smiled at Stephen. "Calm down, okay?"
"How?!" Stephen snapped. "How can I calm down?! Y-You've literally been shot! I mean look at you!"
"Honey-"
"You're lungs are probably filling with blood as we speak."
"Honey..."
"I can't tell if the bullet hit your liver o-or..." Stephen sniffled. "Hah...oh god. Tony I can't lose you. Not you. Okay, stop using energy and concentrate on breathing. I'm gonna open a-"
"Stephen!" Tony shouted.
Stephen looked at him. "WHAT?!"
"Look at me."
"Tony, I have t-"
"Look at me. Stephen look at me." Tony said. "Eyes on me."
"Okay." Stephen nodded. "Okay." Tears building up in his eyes.
"There's no way they'll get to me in time-"
"That's why I'm gonna open a-"
"I'm gonna die." Tony said. "They won't know what to do with the arc reactor." Tony said. "I'm the only one who knows how it works."
"Teach me. Tell me how it works so I can help y-"
Tony scoffed, blood coming from his mouth. "There's no way you'll learn everything there is t-"
"Try me." Stephen said.
"Stephen." Tony said, smiling. He weakly reached his hand up to Stephen's cheek.
Stephen placed one of his shaking hands over Tony's.
"You're shaking more than usual." Tony said.
"I'm scared." Stephen said. "I'm scared.
Tony smiled at him. "Don't be." He said softly.
Sirens could be heard near by.
"Hold on, just hold on." Stephen said. "They're on their way. They're almost here." Stephen said.
"Oh, Stephen." Tony smiled.
"Shh." Stephen said. "Listen to the sirens. Listen to the sirens." Stephen whispered, slowly rocking himself and Tony's head carefully.
"Won't you give me a kiss?" Tony smiled.
"Yes. Of course." Stephen said, kissing Tony's cheek.
"Another?"
Stephen kissed Tony's cheek again.
"Another."
"As many as you want." Stephen said, kissing him again.
"One on the lips." Tony said.
Stephen kissed him without hesitation.
Tony smiled. "Now one with tongue."
Stephen scoffed, but gave him that kiss he begged for for so long.
They pulled away.
"Thank you." Tony said with a smile on his face, his focus slowly looking away from Stephen. His smile slowly began to fall.
Everything began to get blurry.
"No, no, Tony." Stephen said.
Tony's hand began to slide off Stephen's cheek.
Stephen held it against his cheek. "Tony, no. Tony." Stephen's voiced broke. "Please. Tony, please. Please!" He cried, tears leaving his eyes and dripping down his cheeks. "Tony." He said, putting his forehead to Tony's.
Pained cries and tears escaped Stephen as he held Tony close to him.
"Ngh!" He strained, trying his best to keep everything inside him.
Men and women made their way to Stephen with a gurney.
Police came into the house, restraining Ivan.
Lights and sirens surrounded the house.
The sound of heels making their way to the scene came into Stephen's ears as he cried.
The medics had taken Tony away, placing him in the ambulance.
"Dr. Strange." Pepper called.
Her voice muffled in Stephen's ears.
Everything around him was muffled.
"Dr. Strange. Stephen. Where's Tony? Where is Tony?
"Ma'am, we need you to step away from-"
"I know him. He's my friend."
A man came over to Stephen with a blanket, placing it around him.
Stephen's heart pounded in his ears, and his vision was smeared. He couldn't hear himself breathing heavily and slowly.
A man Stephen had never seen before came up to Pepper, questioning him about Tony.
He didn't have time to care.
He didn't know what he he was feeling.
He didn't know how to feel.
