Summary
Tony was a futurist. He always had been.
Only in the moments when he teetered on the edge between life and death did he look back. Only when he was forced to stop did he reflect on the what-ifs and should-have-beens. Afghanistan had brought him to full stop–made him reevaluate everything: his life, his choices, his priorities.
Now, at the hands of someone he had once considered a friend, he had another opportunity. The sharp bite of betrayal was a familiar poison he couldn't seem to lose the taste for.
He had spent a lifetime playing to other people's expectations, whether for show or survival. Somewhere along the way, he fooled himself into believing the Avengers were different. They were his friends–his family.
He’d overlooked Natasha's subtle manipulations. Ignored Clint's pointed jabs. Excused Thor's carelessness and forgiven Bruce's indifference. Most of all, he had made himself smaller–more tolerable–for Steve. Sometime after Ultron, or maybe it was even before that, Tony had laid down on the wire and let them walk all over him.
It was time to cut the wire.
