Re: Tony | Pepper
It took a lot for me to tell you what is going on, but you keep asking me to repeat it. My story doesn’t change just because you missed it. They all know what Peter means to me, what I lost, but the moment Clint showed and in his grief told me I wasn’t allowed to mourn and that Peter was a protege, they fell silent and didn’t even bother checking on me.
Peter is my son. I’m allowed to mourn. I’m allowed to be upset my “friends” view me as a surrogate until someone else comes along. Been there with Steve and I’m not going through that pain again. Once was enough.
