Tony had gone to bed early, exhausted from the day. He curled up with his pillow and tried to get some sleep. He decided not to worry about any kind of sleep aid, trusting that the nightmares had calmed down. He hadn't had one in nearly a week. Tonight would break that streak, though.
He was flying, shooting at the aliens as they came through the portal, but this time he wasn't thinking about Pepper. He was thinking about AJ and Richie. He had to keep them safe. All of them safe.
