I refuse

Day Seven

Prompt: “A hero would sacrifice you to save the world, a villain would sacrifice the world to save you.”

Summary: Tony refuses to let it be all for nothing, even if bad choices are made along the way.

“Do we have a deal?”

Tony’s heart throbbed.

“Stark.”

“Yeah, yeah of course.” Nothing Tony could do would make him sound nonchalant in that moment.

“Excellent, I will be seeing you soon.”

A shuddering gasp tore itself from Peter’s still chest. He was slightly aware of Tony speaking to someone but he wasn’t exactly sure who or what was being said. As his vision came into focus he could see bits of Titan’s moon still remaining in the sky.

“Mr.Stark?”

“Peter!” Tony clutched Peter close.

“Don’t you dare ever go and do that again!”

“I would promise you that if I knew what you were…” Recognition flashed in Peter’s eyes as the memories started to flood in.

“Did we win!?”

“Yeah Peter we did it.” The lie felt heavy on his tongue, the truth of what really just happened only known to him.

The weight was gone as soon as Peter started hollering and cheering. The others around them started to stir from the commotion.

“Awe, Jesus what’s happening?” Quill asked sitting up.

A lie.

A lie about what happened and what’s happening.

Everyone ate it up even Nebula who Tony thought would be wary of him, apparently she’s desperate enough to believe him.

“I don’t know how you did it you bastard.” Strange told him as they boarded the ship.

“But, thank you.”

Tony just nodded along as he glanced back one more time at the red earth, where Peter had died.

But he’s not dead

Tony reminded himself.

The hooded figure from earlier flashed in his mind, the promise that had to be kept or this was all for nothing.

He’s not dead

Tony told May once they made it on solid ground.

He’s not dead

Tony reminded himself when Petet left for a field trip.

He’s not dead

Tony told himself when he woke up from nightmares.

Your still here

He told Peter when he would have panic attacks.

I survived!

Peter eagerly said as he told his tales of heroism to Morgan.

Time trudged forward never stopping.

Tony himself believed his own lies.

Until one day.

“Stark.” It was a voice Tony had convinced himself that it wasn’t even real.

“Already?”

“It has been a while after all.”

They all died.
