Stephen Strange's POV

I suddenly gripped my head, my eyes darted everywhere. I didn't realise at first but I was loosing to my sanity. It didn't help with the fact I knew Dormammu is still out there, it doesn't help that that around my eyes was slowly cracking. I didn't like that, it hurt..My skin was what cracked. I ran - ran past Wong. I ran to the nearest mirror. I looked at my face, my hands shook. I giggled abit as my eyes glowed softly

"I..I hate this! I HATE THIS I HATE THIS I HATE THIS!!"

I screamed as I clutched my head. Gripping my head as best I could, watching as my blueish greeny hazel eyes glowed. Tears fell down my cheeks, causing abit of pain. I looked around and saw my..gun..I picked it up as I smiled innocently. I knew I had magic but..I wanted to do something..I suddenly gave a crazed smile. I went to a box and grabbed it, placing the gun into the box. I called out to Wong that I'd be going out for awhile. He made a portal to an alleyway before he stepped through. He frowned as he took out the contents of the box;

•A gun

•A mask

•A different outfit

I'll admit, it hurt. These urges, the want to kill..I wanted to save people but that went down the drain now I kill them. It's so much easier..So Much f*****g Easier! I protect the world from otherworldly threats while the scattered heros who once was a strong team called The Avengers... it sickened me, where was IronMan? Had he died? I shook the thoughts out of my head before changing to the different attire. I made a portal and put the box into my chamber. I then hid the gun and walked along the streets, the mask in my pocket.

I noticed a young girl, her eyes looked.. she looked like Donna... it broke me, I walked over and smiled sweetly. I asked her of her name, which she gave. Her name is Marina or Maria for short. I dispised how similar she was to Donna. It..made me break. I brought her to an alleyway and I made sure her back was towards me, I pulled my gun out. I had made sure she was backed into a corner however

"So sweet and innocent..You remind me of my baby sister..The only girl I actually cared for..She died because of me..You remind me of her so I have to get rid of you.."

I said darkly as I steadied the gun to be at the back of her head, however I heard a soft 'big brother..?' from somewhere and it made me stop for a moment before I held the gun and the trigger. I felt..fear? Why? I watched as Marina turned to face me, her eyes wide. Almost..

"Stop looking like Donna!!"

I snapped harshly, watching as her face fell. I, for some reason felt the need to..comfort her? Ugh! I held the gun tightly as I felt angered. Angered at myself, The Hospital, Mine and My Sisters Parents..I felt regret as I shot the bullet at the wall next to her before I heard a certainty of my sisters voice mixed with someone else's within Marina, but the bullet had grazed her arm

"H..Hi Uncle-.."

Uncle..? My..sister had a daughter?... I walked closer to her. Her blue eyes shined just like my sisters. I had wide eyes but frowned sadly. I pulled her into a hug. I almost felt sickened with my actions but I didn't my sister died when she was age eleven..How was this girl related to me..? I didn't understand. It didn't matter, how or why. I knew I had to protect her.

"You.. Will have to spend the day with Wong. Wong will help clean you up and keep you. To keep you safe.."

Stephen's voice was laced with insanity, clearly I couldn't keep it down this time. I looked at my niece, the female wore a beautiful dress with two shades of blue. One that was somewhat dark blue for the main colour while the other was a beautifully bright blue. It was ringed around the neck, waist and bottom of the dress. She wore a red cloak like me, Levi who had turned himself into a jacket so he could stay with me. Her eyes a sapphire like bright blue.

Tony's POV

I remember hearing of the famous neurosurgeon, it made my heart flutter. I didn't know why however, I could just listen as Peter played with Sophie. My heart melted abit, I remember my dad: Howard Stark rambling on about a lone country, Wakanda. It was ruled by T'Chaka but he had passed away..His son, oh my..~ I forgot how hot he was.. I shook my head. T'Challa was the new king of Wakanda and it hurt me so. King T'Chaka was like a second father to me.

"M-Mr. Stark? You seem distant..Is everything okay?"

Peter spoke softly as I snapped my head to him after he told me where he was, I sighed. I pushed T'Chaka and T'Challa out of my mind. I had a son to care about as I smiled softly. I nodded gently as I felt like my mind was hazy, but I couldn't think straight. I mean..I'm not straight but I'm not gay either. I'm bisexual, I had dated my assistant before but that..didn't end well. I chuckled softly as I heard movement coming towards me, I knew it was Peter.

Peter's POV

I watched IronDad stare into space, I raised an eyebrow as I watched him. My dad seemed to be abit distracted by something and I was worried it was Steve. I frowned before I softly spoke

"M-Mr. Stark? You seem distant..Is everything okay?"

I saw dad snap his head to me after I told him where I was, well directed him to look at me. He sighed as he then smiled softly. He nodded gently before I realised he was mentally arguing with himself about his sexuality, I got up and walked over to him. I sat next to him as I hugged him, frowning abit.

"Dad? Are you thinking that your sexuality is completely stupid again...?"

I asked to him and watched as his pale chocolate brown eyes widened, he fumbled with his words before he nodded slowly. My heart dropped at that, seeing my dad think his sexuality is stupid. He reacted like this at random, especially when it comes to the fact he's blind so he cannot help but be sad. It hurts..

"Dad, I'm gonna go out. Okay? I can call Rhodey.."

I said softly as Tony slowly nodded, Rhodey was dads childhood friend. Howard knew him, I believe? Howard is Tony's father. I sighed from worry. I didn't particularly want to leave dad alone, even if he has Rhodey here. Frowning I stood up and sighed, I called Rhodey and waited for an answer, for five minutes someone picked up the phone.

Rhodey's POV

I groaned as I wondered who the f**k was calling me at this time, I looked at the Caller ID to see: Peter Parker. My eyes widened in shock as I fumbled, after five minutes I answered the call as I was confused however

"Peter? It's not even seven am..What's wrong?"

I asked to the sixteen year old male, wondering if everything was okay. It had been three years..Three years since I saw Anthony. Since I saw my best friend.

"Mmh..I'm going out to town and I really need someone to watch over Mr. Stark cause Steve is..trying things. I don't trust him on his own incase Steve manages to get loose from Mr. Fury's jail cell..Can you come over?"

Just hearing that made me jolt up, I got dressed completely before asking where they was, when Peter told me I drove there. I put him on speaker as I drove.

"Peter, what happened? Why did Steve get taken by Director Fury?"

I asked to the younger one. My tone full of concern and worry. After arriving, I hung up and knocked on the door. I heard a small scream from Tony..My Heart SANK when I heard the scream. My mind raced to when back at the tower, Steve tried to do things and Tony gave the exact same scream as well as that god damn f*****g fearful look..the way his eyes watered and his body curling up. I frowned but as soon as the door opened, I saw Tony shoot up and run to me. I moved instantly and caught him from falling. I held him close as we sunk to our knees, I held the male close

"Hey Tones..It's okay. You're okay, you're safe. It's okay. Ssshh..It's okay. You're safe, it's alright.."

I said softly and soothingly, I cradled Tony as he slowly calmed down. I heard his arc reactor whirl and buzz. I looked at Peter asking if the chip within the arc reactor had been changed, I saw he nodded which I smiled at. I held the calming male and gently stroked his back,

"I need to go meet my friends, promise me you will take care of IronDad?"

Peter asked me which I chuckled softly and nodded gently. I smiled at him before I helped Tony stand up, I could hear him whine slightly. He must of fallen asleep..I felt sorry as I lead him to the couch/sofa and made him sit down. I heard Peter yell 'Bye Mr. Stark, Bye Mr. Rhodey!' before he left which I smiled at.

Tony's POV

I heard Peter on mention Rhodey, I perked up as I thought 'James(Rhodey's actual name)..Can I really meet him after three years?! C-Could I be able to?!' I thought with concern and worry, frowning. I heard bits and pieces of the conversation between Rhodey and Peter. After awhile, me and Peter heard a knock. I have a scream, one that was known well. My panicked scream. I heard Peter open the door and I could just barely make out the silhouette of my best friend, one of the three I ever had anyway. I shot up and tried to run towards him before I felt arms wrap me so I'd not fall, I felt him hold me close as we sunk to our knees. I held tears within my eyes as I heard my best friend, Rhodey after three years.

"Hey Tones..It's okay. You're okay, you're safe. It's okay. Ssshh..It's okay. You're safe, it's alright.."

I heard him say softly and soothingly, he cradled me as I slowly calmed down. My arc reactor whirled and buzzed indicating I'm alive and that the chip had been changed. Rhodey held me and stroked my back gently.

"I need to go meet my friends, promise me you will take care of IronDad?"

I heard Peter ask to Rhodey who chuckled, I wasn't sure if he nodded or not. I felt him help me stand so I whined slightly. I had somewhat fallen asleep against him, he was warm. He lead me to the couch/sofa which I was thankful for and he made me sit down. I guess he knew I could just barely see somethings. We heard Peter yell 'Bye Mr. Stark, Bye Mr. Rhodey!' which made me smile. I then turned to Rhodey with a small smile.

"H..Hey Rhodes..It's been three years..How are you..?" I asked to Rhodey while I rubbed my arms, I was worried incase he'd never actually properly talk to me again.

"Hey Tones and yes it has..I miss seeing you around the tower even Pepper and Happy miss you. We all do..Everyone at the tower misses you."
