Tony x Reader -Part 5 (Finale)

It was cold. You had not opened your eyes yet but you could tell you were hanging, as you swung back and forth. The sound of the city was loud and surrounded wherever it was you were. You had short shallow breaths; the rope around your body was constricting and compressing your chest.

You didn't want to open your eyes. You weren't ready to face reality just yet. Maybe you could convince yourself that you were having a terrible nightmare and that you’d wake up any minute now.

You could hear footsteps approaching, coming closer. They were walking on metal and each step was accompanied by a clang.  You opened your eyes expecting to see your captor but instead as you looked down you could see the city below your feet. Looking to your right you could see the large letters spelling out Stark. You were back in New York, hanging above the loud busy streets.

You screamed and kicked as you panicked. You knew it wouldn't help but you had to do something.

“Scream all you want, no one can hear you up here.” You looked up and Zeke was leaning against the metal frame smiling down at you. He was wearing armor similar to the Iron Man armor but this one was dark and menacing.

You took in shallow breaths, if you had had more air you could take in deeper breaths but this would have to suffice for now. Examining your situation you noticed your hands were bound together and your arms were bound to your chest.

“What do you think you are going to accomplish by kidnapping me Zeke? Tony won’t come to New York, and you know it.” You watched as he pondered the idea. A smirk on his arrogant face.

“He will come though, because he loves playing the hero. But it is here in New York where I hold the advantage. Then I will kill Stark and finally get the revenge my family deserves.

The wind whipped past you carrying you in the same direction until it subsided and you swung back. You could hear a rip sound and your eyes quickly shot the rope holding you up. It was beginning to tear and you weren't sure how long it would hold up.

“Looks like you are running out of time my dear.” You could hear your ringtone go off and Zeke quickly pulled out your phone. His grin spread wider. “Right on time!” He answered it. “Hey Tony, what’s up man!... Oh (y/n)? Yeah, she is right here. She’s just hanging around; enjoying the view....You want to talk to her? Yeah that’s fine.”

Zeke put the phone on speaker phone and held it out over the edge.

“(y/n), are you alright?” You could hear the hurt in Tony’s voice.

“T-Tony, I-I” You fumbled for words, “I’m sorry T-Tony. But you need to stay away from here, do you understand?!” You were going to keep Tony far away from New York. You wouldn't let Zeke hurt him.

“Stay away from where? (y/n), where are you?!” Zeke was quick to answer.

“She’s in New York, enjoying her short stay at Stark Tower.” You could hear Tony’s breathing shift, as if he were suffocating.

“Tony, do you remember last night when you held me when I was upset.”

“Yes...”

“I’d never felt so safe before then. I was scared before but I thought about you holding me and I was going to be okay. I want you to think about a time when you felt safe and happy.” You could hear Tony’s breathing calm but his anxiety attack wasn't over.

“I’m coming to get you; I won’t let him hurt you ever again.” Tony’s voice was strong and you could feel the tears roll off your face.

“I’ll be waiting,” Zeke clicked the button; he looked extremely pleased with himself, “Good job (y/n), you actually did it.” Zeke walked out of your view and all you could hear was his laughter.

Time passed by slowly, and with each minute you could hear the rope rip slowly apart. Zeke walked closer to the frame looking out into the horizon. You turned to see what he was staring at and could see something moving quickly towards you.

You knew it had to be Tony, and you couldn't help but smile. Zeke quickly put on his helmet and went flying towards him. You had to watch as he drew closer to the Iron Man suit and began to attack him. They flew around buildings and once in a while you’d lose sight of them behind a building or during an explosion.

They got closer to Stark tower and Zeke quickly grabbed the Iron Man suit by the face, hurling him onto the platform. You couldn't see them but you could hear them. Tony slowly backed up towards the metal frame and you could finally see you, he would occasionally glance back at you.

“Interesting suit you got there looks oddly familiar.” Even in a serious situation, Tony could still be arrogant.

“It’s funny how you still don’t remember who I am. Thought you would have remembered the son of the man you killed...” Zeke’s voice was harsh and angry, “Were you that jealous of his success?!”

“I’m sorry but I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m sure you and your psychiatrist have a lot to discuss.” You knew Tony was smiling at his lame joke.

“You killed him! You killed my father! You killed Obadiah Stane!” You heard an explosion and watched as Tony was shot off the roof. He managed to catch himself.

“Ezekiel Stane...”

“My father will rest easy once I finally kill you. But first...” In what seemed like an instant Zeke fired a laser hitting the rope and you began your plummet back to Earth. You watched as Tony reached for you but it a mere second Zeke was at him pulling him in the other direction.

You couldn't think, you couldn't react, and you were in shock. As you feel you had to watch their fight and Tony’s struggle to get to you. You were helpless and you knew it. You closed your eyes, preparing yourself for what came next.

“(Y/n)! Don’t you give up on me just yet!” You opened your eyes as Tony got closer. His armor was scuffed up and Zeke had knocked off his helmet. There was blood all over Tony’s face and he was only able to open one eye. You couldn't hold back your tears, you wanted to reach out to him but you couldn't.

He wrapped his arms around you pulling you in close and dashed off towards Stark tower. As you flew back up you couldn't take your eyes off of him. He was so different now. His eyes were strong and intense and you felt so feeble in his arms. But when he looked at you with his smile all your worried faded.

You were above Stark Tower now, preparing to land when you saw him appear behind Tony. You couldn't speak; the only thing that escaped your lips was a gasp. In an instant he shot at Tony and you could see the pain and shock in his eyes. But when he looked at you he saw fear.

You were falling towards Stark Towers and Tony wouldn't open his eyes no matter how much you pleaded and begged him too. You tucked in closer to him in hopes to avoid some damage when you crashed. You were still wrapped in Tony’s arms the moment you hit and you managed to avoid too much damage but you were in pain and you didn't know if you could move.

You struggled to pull the ropes off your wrist but with the trauma of the fall they had loosen but you would have laceration marks. You knelt beside Tony. Whipping the blood off his face you started to beg him to wake up.

“Tony, please wake up. I need you right now. I can’t do this by myself; I’m not as strong as you.” You rested your head on his chest, letting the tears roll down, but you froze when you heard footsteps behind you.

“I actually did it! I killed Tony Stark!” Zeke spoke with triumphant in his voice. His glee spread across his face. He walked closer to Tony but you quickly rose and stood in his way.

“You are so pathetic; I don’t know what I saw in you.” With one swing he smacked you down to the ground. You attempted to hoist yourself up but his boot came crashing into your back. The air rushed out of you but he didn't stop. He continued to kick you while you were down.

Your attempts at getting away were futile, and it seemed to make him angrier. So you laid there taking in every blow. You didn't know if you were numb from the pain or if you had just lost all sensation in your body.

“Are you so willing to die for him? To give up everything we could have had together for him!? You would just be another notch on his belt...” He rested his boot on your head, looking at you with a grim face.

“Such a shame.” He lifted his leg, preparing to crush you with one final blow. A bright light flashed and Zeke’s face quickly distorted in pain. A large wound appeared in his side and it was gushing out blood. He quickly grabbed it in disbelief but you could see the pain in his face. He started to stumble backwards towards the rail.

The moment he hit the rail he looked over facing Tony in the eyes. Tony had his arm raised up aimed at Zeke and with one final shot Tony hit Zeke through the chest sending him over the building.

“I keep breaking my promise.” He slowly got up and stumbled towards you. He finally collapsed beside you in a big huff. He pushed the hair back behind your ear and caressed your cheek. Whipping away any tears with his thumb.

You shuffled closer to him and planted a warm kiss on his lips. His arms wrapped around you, pulling you even closer to remove the gap between you. He started kissing you back roughly and intense. You put your arms around his neck and ran your fingers through his hair.
You pulled back slightly to catch your breath and Tony started to nip at your jaw and neck and you left out a soft moan. His hands started to adventure up your shirt and he bit your lower lip playfully.

“I can’t wait to get back to Miami.” You teased, giggling.

“Why wait?” His smile made you melt, and you gladly kissed him again.

You knew loving Tony Stark would be dangerous but you would always feel safest in his arms.
