His mind was racing. Visions of Afghanistan but instead of him in the cave it’s Peter. With no Yinsen there to help.
The ringing is replaced with a heavy pounding. It may be soothing but it’s too fast and too irregular. It’s broken. Broken. Broken. Broken.
“Overriding flight controls.”
Broken like Peter will be, because Tony failed. Because Tony is failing him. Because Howard was right and Tony is a fucking failure.
Tony feels solid ground under his feet as the suit collapses around him.
Without the support of the suit, his knees buckle and he collapses.
There’s a loud (loud, loud, loud, everything is so loud) metallic clang behind him. Some clicking noise and then a voice.
