Tony woke. Consciousness slowly came to him. He'd just been dreaming about Pepper in the flames, destroying his suits, and talking to Bruce about the whole thing. Talking it out seemed to have helped his Dream Self. He wondered if he'd have to talk about all this crap in this world, too, or if talking about it in the Dreams was good enough.
He turned over, wondering if he could fall back to sleep or if this was it for him tonight. This morning? What time was it? His eyes came to rest on the clock. Not too early to get up, but definitely early enough that he probably should have rolled over and gone back to sleep. He sat up, trying not to disturb Pepper, and climbed out of bed.
The kitchen lights came on automatically as he walked on the tile floor. He pulled open the fridge and collected a container of Almond milk to pour himself a glass.
