Chapter 2
****Hey, so here is the next chapter ! I don‘t have that much time to write, so when a chapter comes up it‘s about to be around 1000 words. Hopefully you understand that :) ****
„Sir…? Sir..?“, Tony blinked. „Sir ?“ Was that Jarvis ? He jerked awake and regreted it promptly. He moaned from the sharp pain in his chest. „Javs?“ he muttered painful. „Wha happnd?“ He know recognized the location. He was right in front of the headquaters. To be exact, he laid in a little crater. „You gave the autopilot of the suit to me. Again you expierend a serve anxiety attack and passed out. As I said, a glich caused me to give you the control. Unfortunately you were unconscious so the MARK 45 crashed. Sir, you need to stay awake !“, he heard the british voice. Tony really wanted to replie but the fatigue took over him and he became unconscious again.
Steve:
„Steve c‘mon, he won‘t let you in !“, Natascha said, grabbed Steve‘s arm trying to hold him back. „I swear there is something wrong with him !“, Steve snaped back. „Well, of course ! He saw your best friend killing his parents. Dunno who would be alright after such torture.“, Natscha claimed, honestly feeling a bit odd. „Yes I know that“, Cap mentioned „but what if he needs my help ? I have already made my decision. I‘m leaving know.“
An hour later he arrived at the huge building. He exactly knew were he could enter it without getting caught by the cameras and sensors. He went around the building finding Tony in his suit laying on the grass. „Tony!“, he blurted out jumping right next to him. „Jarvis ? Open the suit!“, he commanded the computer. „Tony, hey, c‘mon, wake up!“ „Captain, I‘m afraid he passed out as a result of a concussion.“, the cumputer informed him. Tony‘s face was covered with blood. „check the vitals Jarvis.“ „Sir‘s vitals are according to the circumstances good. The blood pressure is a bit to low.“ Cap nodded without realising that Jarvis could not see that. „How long has he been here ?“ „Around four hours Captain. He once jerked awake, but only for a few seconds and passed out again.“ Steve looked at his friend. Tony was his friend. Stark might felt diffrent about that. Either ways, the priority was now to get Tony inside to aid him. „Jarvis is anything broken or can I carry him ?“, he once again akes the computer that replied almost immediatly. „Two rips are broken and he has sprains all over his body. But he needs to get inside right now because his body temperature is falling and bout to hit s critical level.“ Somehow the british voice sounded concerned. Was he even possible to feel ? Of course not, he was a computer. But he was capable to analyse the sound of another person and therefore the situation. But Steve was more focused on getting Tony up without hurting him too much. He carefully grabbed under his waist and his shoulder and lifted him gently. Sweat caused by the pain was now visible on Tonys forehead. His breath became louder and he moaned unconscious. „I know, I‘m sorry Tony. Jarvis, can I enter the building please ?“ „Mister Stark explicitly said that you are not allowed to enter. But under this circumstances I have the permission to decide what the best is for Mister Stark. I open the door to your left.“, Jarvis annouced. Steve handled to lay Tony on the sofa. His breath was unsteady and the moans became more frequent. There was some blood leaking through his shirt. Steve grabbed carefully ripped it in half to bandage the spot. „I‘m going to fix that up pal.“, he muttered and grabbed some bandage and a plaster. Tony seemed to wake up because of the pessure but passed out immediatly. „Sh, calm down… It‘s me… I stay right here, okay ?“ But Tony did not listen anymore.
Tony:
What a weird dream. Or was it even a dream ? He could not remember… At some point he imagined to hear Steves voice. But that could not be possible. Steve left and he‘ll never come back. Which was good at some point. He tried to speak, but failed. No strengh and to much pain. But he did manage to lift a finger. His body decided that that was enough effort for now.
He did not know how long he slept. He was much more lucid now. Carefully he opend his eyes. Definetly the Avengers headquater. But how did he get in here ? Last thing he remembered was the test flight. The autopilot one. But didn‘t he crashed ? Now he did not feel like a genius. Well, not now. He detected a sharp pain which seemed to come from his chest. Carefully he lifted his hand to spot the cause of the pain. He immediatly regreted it. Yep, those rips were broken. Tony tried to lift his upper body, but the pain hold him back. He loudly moaned and lied back. Actually, he was in a far worse condition than he thought he is. „Jarvis?“, he whispered suprised by the hoarse voice. Perhaps because of the lack of speaking. „Yes, Sir ?“, Jarvis replied. „How did I get here ?“ „I‘m afraid you do not want to know this, Sir...“, the computer soundeda bit guilty. „C‘mon on buddy, I programmed you to say thing straight away without beating around the bush !“ Tonys voice became a bit more steady now. „I apologize Sir. Captain Rogers came around to look after you. He found you laying next to the building. I allowed him to enter the building to get you inside, Sir. I‘m sorry, but you were in a critical state and my priority is, to save your life. Therefore-“ „Alright, alright.. Calm down… I know what you‘re doing, I created you pal. Where is Rogers now?“, he croaked.
„I‘m here, Tony..“, Steve stepped into his field of vision.
