fic: A Few Manly Tears (series: Genius, AI & Bots)
Title: A Few Manly Tears
Author: Del Rion (delrion.mail (at) gmail.com)
Fandom: Iron Man (MCU)
Timeline: between ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Iron Man 2’
Genre: Drama, family
Rating: K+ / FRC / PG
Characters: Happy Hogan, J.A.R.V.I.S., Pepper Potts, James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Tony Stark (Iron Man), Tony’s bots (DUM-E and U)
Summary: Busy people like to relax with their family. Tony Stark is a busy man, through and through, and tonight his ‘family’ consists of the bots - mainly because everyone else was unavailable. It’s also appropriate to pick a movie that pertains to the interests of the crowd, and Tony shouldn’t be blamed for getting invested in the story.
Complete. Part of “Genius, AI & Bots” series.
Warnings: Tear-jerker scene, abandonment issues and alcoholic beverages (plus relentlessly teasing friends).
Teaser:
“Now… you won’t understand the reasons, but… I have… I have to leave you here.”
“Is it a game?”
“No.”
“When will you come back for me?”
“I’m not, David. You’ll have to be here by yourself.”
“Alone?”
He feels the pressure building behind his eyes, something tugging at an imaginary cord in his chest. It makes the scarring around the arc reactor ache, which feels even worse, but he keeps staring at the screen and simply tries to recall where he put that box of Kleenex he knows they keep lying around here somewhere.
