Tony should be having nightmares about all his crimes, not his imaginary vicitmization

It's always funny to me how Tony supposed to be a wreck having nightmares of Steve using the shield on the arc reactor. Yet when you look at the actual damage, Tony’s the one who walks away scott free from everything except Afghanistan. If he's having nightmares after Civil War, he should be having nightmares about all the damage that he contributed to and the evil things he did. That would be more appropriate (if he were actually forced to face consequences).

Tony lurched awake again. His eyes fell on the clock on the nearby. 1:20am. He got maybe 45 minutes of sleep. He ran his hands down his face, wiping away the sweat. It had been another dream about the kid. This time, Tony saw Vision shoot and hit the kid instead of Rhodey. Tony ran over and pulled up the kid’s mask and the kid’s dead eyes stared back.

At least Tony woke up before he had to explain to the aunt exactly why her kid was at the airport in a superhero battle in a foreign country in the first place. In other nightmares he had to explain it to Rhodey and Pepper. All of them staring at him with judgment on their faces.

He guessed he should be grateful that he woke up so early. Aunt Hottie was very creative in the revenge department, at least in Tony's dreams.

He slumped over his bent knees. The worst thing was, he deserved all of it. Whether it was dreaming about the kid, Rhodey and Pepper finding out about Tony's lies, Wilson paralyzed on the airfield, Barnes dead on the bunker floor, or the Witch’s blank eyes on the Raft. His conscience wasn't going to let him rest. And he deserved it.
