“Hi, what are you doing?” asked a person
“Hi, nothing special just thinking” answered Tony and looked at the dark sky full of stars.
“Are you alright, Antony?” while asking that a person come closer
“Yeah” he paused and after a while added “No, I mean I wasn’t okay a moment ago but now everything is alright.”
“Good”
A little too cold hands touched Tony’s face. This act made him close his eyes and led in touch which made him feel like time stopped for a moment. Like only he and the person in front of him existed in this world. He was happy.
“Anthony,” said the voice of the owner that Tony couldn’t recognize. “I love you” After that sentence, the man kissed the unrecognizable for him person.
“I love you too-
Tony never had a chance to say the mystery person's name from his dream. Every time he was to say it his dream ended and Tony woke up crying. He lost someone he can’t remember and it was really painful.
lt started something around two weeks ago. He just woke up and felt something was wrong but he couldn't tell what it was. He felt completely lost. His home looked different like there should be more books or clothes. His kitchen should smell like tea even if he never drank it. His house start looking empty and he couldn’t tell why. It scared him.
In the beginning, Tony tried his best to ignore it but doing this made him feel worst even guilty. So he told about this to Rhodey. The man just like Tony didn’t have an answer. On the other hand, Pepper had a theory that in some way he still missed the Avengers even after the civil war.
“Tony, you are a truly good person and they were your family. You just miss them,” said a woman
“Me? Missed them? Why should I? Don’t you remember what they did to me, Pepper?”
“Yes, I remember it but also know that just a half year after that you started to defend them. What's more, you started to take the wine on yourself,” she said while showing a sad smile on her face. “ Tony you are a good man. Probably you are the only one who doesn’t believe it.”
The conversation with Peper made him feel better and even believed in her theory for a moment, but just one meeting with Peter destroyed this. The boy felt similar to him. This made Tony sure one thing he wasn’t crazy. Ther truly was one lost piece and he is going to find it.
He looked for it for two full weeks but there wasn’t even small progress. He felt more desperate every time his search ended in failure but this didn’t make him gove up.
When Pepper suggested to him to take a break he did it and went with her to the park. They talked about everything and nothing. When Tony started telling Pepper about his latest dream he was interpreted by a mystery man in ridiculous clothes.
“Stark, I need your help.” said a stranger, and Tony felt like his heart frozen for a moment.
