Fury

The head was away now luckily for Tony. It (she?) had retreated when Pepper made herself known. Now Pepper and Tony were sitting next to each other while Friday pulled up the videos for them from the base.

"So this is the only place you could have picked this up?" Pepper asked again.
"Its the last thing I remember. Plus Friday mentioned that I was dragging my suit. It would be impossible for a normal human like me to drag it... I'm going to have to do something so I'm never trapped again." Pepper put her hand over his to pause his thoughts. He gave her a soft smile and hit play on the video. Tony couldn't believe the video at first. Tears pricked his eyes when he relived watching the video of his parents dying. With every punch, kick, and hits from the shield after Tony confronting Steve Tony felt himself wincing and remembering every pain. When the shield came down onto his chest Tony stood up and turned away, hands to his chest like he was back on that cold stone floor. He couldn't breathe and tears were running down his face freely.

"Tony... I'm so sorry... Do you want to watch this later?" Pepper whispered. She placed her gentle hand on his shoulder and he turned to her.
"No... Lets finish please..." Tony whispered to her. They sat back down and Friday resumed the video.

"He's my friend." Steve said, the worst excuse for his actions.
"AND I WAS YOUR LOVER!" Tony shouted on the video. "MY FATHER MADE THAT SHIELD YOU DONT DESERVE IT!"

Tony closed his eyes and felt more tears coming when Steve just dropped the shield and walked away.
"Oh Tony." Pepper whispered. Tony shook his head and turned his eyes back to the video. After ten minutes of screen Tony being alone and choking on his own blood the symbiote seemed to melt from a crack in the wall and push itself towards Tony's still body. It entered through his face plate and disappeared. Not a minute later and Tony's body took a deep breath, finding the emergency release latch on his hip like it had built the suit itself.

The body that rose out of the suit was bruised and bloody, and Tony's eyes were completely pitch black. Ribs were heard cracking back into place as his body took another deep breath and his hand wiped away some blood from his face. It slowly walked over and picked up the shield, turning it over as if it was learning. A tilted head towards his suit and a strong arm grabbed the hand of the suit, pulling it out into the snow as if it was nothing. Tony wiped his face of tears and stood up.

"Pepper... I need to... process... and talk to this thing... I'll call you." Tony mumbled. Pepper gave him a tight hug.
"Don't let it bully you." She whispered. Tony nodded and watched her leave.
"Friday shut the lab down please." Tony said, falling to his couch and starting to sob. It hadn't hit him until he watched the video what happened. The man he thought he loved and who loved him back had betrayed him. Had picked the murderer of his parents over him. Sobs racked his body and he couldn't catch a good enough breath as tears poured down his face.

"Calm down human." The symbiote whispered in his ear. He felt something calm start flowing over his mind, his breaths coming easier to him now.
"Thank you..." Tony hiccuped.
"Call me Fury." It said.
"I'm Tony. How did you know about how to release my body from the suit?" Tony wiped his face and leaned back, figuring he should get comfortable while talking to himself.
"I saw it in your mind of course. I also saw that the round piece of metal and your exo-suit were important to you so I brought them with us. Lucky for us your robot voice sent a ship or even I wouldn't have been able to keep you from freezing to death."
"That's Friday. She looks out for me."
"Well you need looking after. I've never seen a human as much trouble as you." Tony chuckled at that and suddenly felt very exhausted. His eyes got wide when suddenly his body stood up without any help and headed for his bedroom.
"I really don't like it when you do that." Tony said, climbing into his bed.
"It's been a long time since I had a host like you. We are perfect together and I can't have you dying on me." Tony yawned and closed his eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep.
