Noone's PoV

Peter Parker stared at his father figure as he sat down on the sofa/couch with his head in his hands. He frowned which made him look like he didn't exactly care, but in reality he did as he had just kicked someone out of the house. That person being Steve Rogers because he had started to behave rudely and inappropriately towards Tony because of his situation. The sixteen year old felt worried, concerned and angered. Angered for that he had almost not been there in time to save him.

"Mr. Stark-..? Are you okay?" The spiderling asked to the older male who nodded slowly before Sophie - the service dog Peter had forced Tony to get started barking. Her tail wagged rapidly before Tony's breathing quickened as he began to hyperventilate, he could feel blood pounding in his ears, his heart pounding within his chest. He gripped onto his own arms, causing him to dig his nails into his arms. This caused blood to draw, Peter instantly ran over and pulled the older male into a gentle hold. He gently shushed the older male as his worry grew more. He looked at his phone and messaged Bruce, a friend to Tony.

The message stated;

'Hey, Bruce.

It's me, Peter..Erhm, could you come over? Steve..happened to Mr. Stark and now he's going through a panic attack..It's abit worse than his normal ones..Please I'm begging..You should know where we are..Bye..

~P.P'

"Mr. Stark, please calm down! It's okay!-" Peter tried and went to say to Tony, however Tony could feel himself shake against Peter, the sixteen year old was trying his best to withhold Tony down. Tony began to cry as he felt the familiar sense of bile rise to his throat, he covered his mouth to not throw up on Peter. He desperately tried to signify his need but he heard running and a bucket be chucked to Peter. Tony realised it was Sophie. Before he could do anything, Peter pushed the bucket to older male. He gave a sound to let him know he could give in. Before long, Tony had moved and ended up throwing up before he threw a picture frame that he had felt around for. He wanted to grip it but it didn't work.

Peter watched anxiously as his father figure had this attack, it hurt him. He couldn't do anything to help him either. He whimpered abit as he heard dry heaving from the male into the bucket. He realised "M-Mr. Stark? What can you hear? Tell me five things you can hear.." he said gently and softly as he heard knocking. He gave a sigh of relief as he ran to the door and saw Bruce who walked inside. Bruce rushed over to Tony and stroked his back, helping the other male finish dry heaving.

Bruce stared at the sixteen year old with a concerned look as if to basically ask what had happened. However his head turned to his head back to Tony, he helped him stand and lead him back to the sofa/couch. He went and got the male a drink of water. He came back and gently helped the other drink "Tony, are you okay? Steve didn't do anything bad to you did he?" He asked worriedly, Tony gurgled abit. He had just taken a drink of water which when he drank he gave a soft 'No he didn't..'

But Peter and Bruce knew better, they knew when he had a soft tone it meant otherwise but they didn't pry. Not at the moment at least, Bruce gently hugged Tony as he sighed sadly. He hated when he saw his friend like this. It hurt him.

Bruce Banner's POV

I signed as I watched my friend before looking to Peter, I nodded as I told Tony I'd be right back. Peter brought me outside the house before he explained to me.

"Steve had tried to erhm..basically r-rape Mr. Stark but because it made M-Mr. Stark scared it did make my senses go off..When I heard what Steve was saying it made my blood boil..He hasn't left Mr. Starks side whenever they was alone..Now I know why.."

As soon as Peter said that, my eye twitched. I knew I had to keep my calm/cool, so I took deep breaths. I was angry. How DARE Steve do that to Tony. Had he always taken advantage of Tony?! I grew angered so I went to Tony, watching as he held his head between his hands

"Tony? Can you name five things you can hear for me? Or what can you taste, hear or smell? I want to make sure you're calm." I said to Tony, I watched as he tried to face me, but he ended up facing Peter. I heard him slowly speak after a few minutes

"I..I can hear you, birds..breathing from three people..Cars and the sound of blood pounding in my ears.." I heard the tone from Tony. It broke me. I sighed gently but smile and give a small smile to Peter. He must be so worried about Tony..After a few minutes I do reply to Tony. "Well done Tony. You did good"

Tony's POV

I felt sick because of Steve, I mean we used to date. He is the reason I turned to alcohol. I felt myself calming down, anger somewhat coursed through my veins. Though I was disgusted, how could Steve have done this to me? It hurt. Badly. I just - I don't understand. Had it always basically been him doing that to me whenever we..did make love? I groaned. I stared at Bruce well who or what I hoped to be the ex scientist.

"Bruce..Can..you please do me something with alcohol..? I know I said I'd give it up but..I just..Please..?" I begged, my arc reactor whirled and beeped, giving signs it needed recharging. I frowned at that, oh how I sometimes hated how this came to be. I doubted I wanted to know what it was like at the Avengers Tower. I heard movement and sounds, I relaxed abit.

I put my hand over my chest, hearing my arc reactor whirl and buzz more. I missed F.R.I.D.A.Y and JARVIS. I wanted to hear them, it's been three f*****g years..damnit..I ran a hand through my hair as I felt someone grab my hand and place something into it, I heard Bruce speaking. "Here, hopefully it'll be better now.." I held the glass as I slightly swirled the contents, I lifted it up to my mouth as I started to swallow the bitter contents.

I heard Peter start yelling at someone before I heard Bruce shout to get out. I grew confused as I tried to make out the outline of who else was in the room. I gave up and just finished the drink Bruce had made for me. I felt bad, did I cause this..?”

Noone's POV

Peter and Bruce stood protectively infront of Tony as Tony hadn't realise that Steve had come back. Steve stared blankly at them as he wasn't pleased that they was protecting Tony. Tony was his not theirs. He crossed his arms as he spoke "Give me my boyfriend." He said angered, that caused Tony to snap his head towards the sound "S-Steve..?" But because Steve heard Tony call out his name, he thought it was with joy so he didn't realise it was of fear.

Peter narrowed his eyes at the male, he stood infront of Tony and threatened to literally call Nick Fury if Steve didn't exit. He had kicked him out, how the hell did he get back inside anyway? He narrowed his eyes at Steve before he got Bruce to call Nick which took a few minutes before they all heard an answer.

"This is Director Nick Fury, who is this and why couldn't you just call the helicarrier/helipad?"

Came the voice of an angered Nick Fury, Peter explained the situation with Steve, this had shocked Nick Fury as he always believed Steve was a good guy. Was he wrong about Steve..? He decided to help and call for reinforcements to where they are. He watched through the view of the officers he sent, his eye held worry for Tony. He then respoke after a few minutes once Steve was out

"I'm..so sorry. Is Tony alright? I hope Steve didn't do much issue..I'll come down personally and see if there is a way to keep Steve away.." he said lowly. He grew angered by how Steve would do this.
