Tony was completely exhausted, mentally, physically, and emotionally, by the time he got back to Stark Tower. He never realized exactly how far Peggy and Steve's cottage was from the tower until just then. It seemed like it took him hours to make the walk, when he knew that it hadn't. He knew that it was really late, about 3am if his phone was correct, and he really hoped that AJ was in bed, but part of him knew that she wasn't. With only Steve's t-shirt on, the gauze wrapped around his arm was visible. The same arm that had the scars from the wyvern attack. On top of that he had small cuts and bruises in other places on his body. His hair was still dirty and he really did still need a shower, but he just wanted to crawl into bed. "Jarvis, home please." His voice croaked, having gotten more hoarse since leaving Peggy's. It was a combination of fatigue and the fact that he hadn't rested it while drinking his tea. They'd had a conversation and it had taken its toll. But it was a needed conversation and he felt like he and Peggy were much closer now. One more person on the island he knew he could trust. It was nice. The elevator came to a stop on the penthouse level and Tony stepped out, praying that AJ was asleep and had just forgotten to turn the lights off downstairs before going to bed. |
