Hey guys! Just trying out a new story! Dont know how i feel but hahah hope you enjoy it.

EPILOGUE:

"You're hopeless, boy!"

The cold winter breeze hit Tony's face and made the stinging of his bruising cheek more alive as he walked a fast pace down the empty street.

"A disgrace to the family name!"

He pulled his jacket tighter around himself like a shield and slid a nervous glance to the side as his father's voice replayed in his head.

"I am embarrassed to call you my son."

It was so clear and loud in his mind and acts as though a virus in the system that is his brain. Showing up without his want or control, breaking him from the inside and tainting him only the slightest bit on the outside.

"You would be nothing to Steve Rogers."

The sound of muffled music hit his ears and his surroundings finally caught his attention. By the look of things he had reached his destination, with stingy cars parked on an uphill drive way, with already tipsy teens falling out of the vehicles and laughing obnoxiously, with the blaring music that seemed to vibrate the house.

"I wish you were more like him."

Tony's father's voice is interrupted by the door of the house being thrown open and the music from inside invading every thought that was originally there in his mind. A drunken jock cheers loudly at him as a greeting and pulls him in, though his cheer is barely heard over the music.

As soon as Tony is pulled in he is left alone, looking around he took in the atmosphere of the space. High schoolers dancing and jumping to the music, high as fuck girls hanging off boys who laugh and make sure their friends are seeing the show, kids smoking, taking drugs and chucking down vodka shots. It's a fun house of teenagers losing self-control and thought.

The next 2 hours for Tony is a montage of doing shots, getting high and making out with whomever, boy or girl.

"High all the time

To keep you off my mind

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

High all the time

To keep you off my mind

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh"

The music takes over, flowing through his body and drowning out thoughts away. He's surrounded by bodies he's too dazed to recognise, everything morphs into slow motion and Tony is in a daze. Suddenly he is feeling numb, non-existent. He feels as though he is in another world, feels detached and feels inhuman. Maybe he had become a robot? Maybe he had used up all his emotions and now is empty forever. Tony's dancing stilled and he found himself staring off into nothingness, those around him still dancing but still in slow motion and him seeming more invisible than before.

"Staying in my play pretend

Where the fun, ain't got no end

Staying in my play pretend"

He made his way through the maze of bodies, the numbness becoming captain in flight of his body and the moan of the song seeming to fit perfectly with the feeling of nothingness that rang in his brain and ears. Tony situated himself onto a nearly too soft, blue couch, opposite side to where two girls were going at it. Feeling light headed, Tony felt the unexpected appearance of tears running down his slightly coloured cheeks as he sunk down low and twisted a hand through his already messy hair with the arm resting on the armrest of the couch.

"Can't go home alone again

Need someone to numb the pain

Ooh"

He felt his body shake as more tears ran a fast pace down to his chin. Emotions made an epic comeback and hit Tony like a truck as the sudden feeling of loneliness and self-hatred were stirred together to create the flawless recipe of depression. The hum of the song making the sound that depression would make if it were possible.

As the song came to a close, humming slowly fading off into a quiet buzzing, Tony Stark became a ghost as crazed teens went on to continue their partying and intimate affection with one another.

And after a short time of forgetting Tony remembered.

"You're hopeless, boy!"
