Hello everyone. No slang now. I am writing this in clear agony after watching civil war. And I hate captain America. Major character death warning.
Rhodey could only stare at the body.
Because Tony was never so lifeless.
He was never this quiet.
Rhodey stared.
Seconds passed. His expression, unreadable.
Tony's expression was peacefull, like he was yearning for this outcome. He looked so rested, like he was tired from life. So at rest that rhodey wanted to cry out.
"Tony?"
No reply.
Rhodey walked closer to him, shaking tony's body a little.
" hey buddy, I need you to prove them wrong. Wake up tones." rhodey whispered , voice wavering.
Silence.
" Tony dont do this to me..." rhodey finally cried out, hugging the limp figure in frontof him. Silent tears ran out.
The men at his side hung their heads solemnly, understanding the colonel's pain.
Siberia had done a number on the billionare. Betrayal. Injuries. Old scabbed were scratched open.
And once they are scratched, they leave a scar.

'We have recieved reports informing us about the passing away of Tony stark.'
' the billionare was found in his last moments by colonel James rhodes who is now paralysed, alongswith vision, a hero who has recently joined the avengers.'
' we have recieved photographs of the body...'
Images flash of Tony stark with a blanket draped over his lifeless body.
'doctors are saying that the main cause of death comes from a curved metal, identified as captain america's vibranium shield.'
Images of the shield lying against thick concrete are flashed.
' charges are bieng pressed on Steve rogers, formerly known as captain America, for murdering an American patriot. An elite. A billionare.
A hero.'
' to mr. Rogers, we have only one question.'
'
' who should we believe in now?"
Pepper inhaled sharply, tears falling freely.
It was cold. Really cold. But nothing compared to the news.
'tony stark found dead in siberian bunker.'
The world only realizes the value of something after it is no longer present in the world.
Surprise, surprise. The saying is true.
She had left him. They had left him. At the end, he was alone. Alone. So much alone.
He was so used to betrayal.
Siberian bunker...must be cold. He hated the cold.
Tony had always counted on her. And she had abandoned him.
And so did rogers . He should have been his friend.
' I am sorry Tony, I cant take it anymore.'
His silent face showed so much of emotion. So much pain. And the biggest of them,
Betrayal.
'every time you go out, I feel the pain, and I cant take it.'
Pepper burst into a fresh bunch of sobs. Her small figure trembled with emotion. She didnt even notice when vision came by his side.
What vision did not forsee was the burning of a certain captain America.
