Noone's POV
Anthony had walked to the balcony, mindset stuck on ending his life due to the fact he thought he would never be able to see again, he would never be able to see Peter's graduation or anyone he cares about again. Stark felt like he had no true reason to live for anymore, not since he lost his sight. The brunette male now stood on the balcony, his head hung low as if to be looking at the ground. Fury, Natasha, Clint, Steve and Stephen was staying that night. However Anthony believed everyone other than him to be asleep. Oh how wrong he was. Fury and Strange was awake and had heard footsteps, Fury had a feeling the footsteps was because someone was going to the bathroom.
"Those footsteps went to be against metal..If I remember correctly then the balcony is metal, correct?" Strange asked quietly to Fury, whose eye widened upon realising something. "Go Up Stairs. Now." The soft yet dark skinned male spoke, his eye narrowed as he feared for who was up and about. Strange moved and went to check, his insanity creeping closer to show as well incase it was an intruder. He waited until he got to the doors of the balcony and his expression changed, seeing Anthony surrounded by the moonlight created a halo effect around the male. Stephen stayed quiet as he watched the male in confusion.
"I really do not think they need me..I am blind, I can not see so what would be the point in keeping me alive? I could just end it and they all would be much happier would they not? Yes..They would be.." This made Strange confused as Anthony seemed to be..talking to himself? 'Why is Stark talking to himself..? That is not like him at all and that is worrying..' the brunette with greyish hair thought to himself. Of course he stayed still and low so Anthony would spot him, but he had a bad feeling..
Anthony opened the gate on the balcony, he shut it after. He moved to be at the edge of the balcony, making Strange's eyes widen. 'He is going to jump?! This is a high fall!' The male thought before he saw Anthony put a foot forward cautiously, Strange felt Levi try to levitate me which Stephen allowed him to do. Anthony seemed to let himself fall forwards but with how high the balcony is he would be falling for at least twenty five minutes..Stephen got Levi off of him and told him to get Anthony. Which the cloak instantly did, the cloak caught Anthony just before he hit the ground, bringing the now shaking and crying male up and to Stephen.
"Stark..Why..?" Stephen softly asked Levi placed Anthony down in Stephen's arms. The crying male could not hear what was being said at first so Stephen just went downstairs holding Anthony. He sat down on the sofa / couch and gently rocked side to side. Anthony was shaking because he knows that it would most likely be told to Peter or Rhodey. Stephen frowned seeing this side of Anthony, not liking how upset he had gotten. "Stark, answer me.. Why did you just try to suicide..?" The Sorcerer Supreme asked to the male who just whimpered out a 'I am sorry..' which made Stephen sigh and let the male lay against him with Levi covering the two as if he was a blanket.
The morning sun came up several hours later which woke up Peter from his sleep. Groaning the sixteen year old male did not hear anything from Anthony's room which frightened him. He got up and checked but did not see him which made him fearful for if he had attempted suicide and he did not stop him. He rushed downstairs and checked every room apart from the living room / lounge / front room. He then checked and his eyes widened before his expression softened. The reason why his expression had softened was because he found Doctor Strange and his dad curled up together on the sofa / couch, he was thankful that his dad is okay. But he wondered for why they was like that. Soon I heard a soft groan
Stephen Strange's POV
I slowly woke up due to sound of panicked footsteps most likely from Peter Parker. It caused me to groan softly as I went to move but felt a light yet heavy lump on top of me then I remembered the night before. I could not help but grip his side under Levi, almost protectively. I remembered Anthony but..I did not ever realise that he was suicidal..
I sat up slightly but allowed Anthony to sleep ontop of me, I looked at Peter and smiled softly at him, "Morning, Parker." I murmured softly, to not wake Anthony. The younger waved at me to which I smiled just slightly from. I was however concerned for how long he was like this. Of course, I would be around a lot more to make sure he is alright so he can have help but I do not know if it will help that much. I soon heard a small whimper from Anthony so I ran my left hand through his hair gently. I knew he was starting to wake up, he always made that sound when he was just waking up. Soon his head moved and he opened his eyes to look at me, I gave a tiny smile.
"Good morning, Anthony." I murmured softly so only he could hear, he groaned quietly at my words. Chuckling I moved and helped him sit up. "Mr. Strange? What happened?" I heard Peter asked which I did not know if he knew but I looked down, concerned. "How long has Stark been suicidal?"I asked before I felt Anthony fall against me which caused me to hold the male, who fell back to sleep. I rubbed his back and held him, humming a quiet melody. Of course that must of caused Peter to realise what had happened. Holding Anthony close, I felt happy. A happiness that had not been felt since I thought I lost my sister and Anthony.
"H.. He has been for a long time.. but it had gotten worse the last three years.." Peter murmured to which made me upset. I could not believe it, my sweet Anthony.. What happened to you? I sighed as I looked at him before my glance turned to Peter. I gave a sad smile to him. I wanted to help and I would try to, especially for Peter's sake. I just hoped I would even be able to help.
Marina / Shadow's POV
I looked around, haven been teleported to a cell of somesort. My head hurt, profusely. I could not think correctly, I do not remember much of what happened. Gah.. My whole body hurts. Wait.. Where is Winter?! I whimper and sit up putting my hands over my chest, taking my mask and goggles off and letting them hang around my neck, I cautiously looked around in fear. I wanted my brother..
"So you are finally awake?"
A grumpyish voice asked to me, making me even more fearful. I looked up and saw a chubby man in.. robes? What? Am I dreaming? I stare at the man now confused about what the hell is going on. He must of realised that I had grown confused so he chuckled softly. Raising an eyebrow at my reaction. "Wait.. Marina..?" He questioned, the name.. it was used again. Why do people keep referring to me as Marina? Even Winter does.. Why? Is that my name..?
He seemed to have took notice to my extremely confused state before he knelt down near me, he looked at me. Tilting his head as if trying to find a way to explain something to me. He sighed as he looked at me, "Your uncle misses you, you know..? It has been four months since any of
