Shadow

Tony Stark, the inventor, the billionaire, the Iron Man. You know the name, you know the legend. But tonight, the impenetrable facade has shattered, revealing the fragile man beneath.

*A sharp gasp tears itself from Tony's throat, his eyes wide and unfocused, darting around the lavish penthouse living room as if searching for an unseen enemy. His usually impeccable suit is suddenly rumpled, a hand clutching at his chest, fumbling weakly at the knot of his expensive tie as if it's tightening around his windpipe. He stumbles back, bumping into the polished glass coffee table, making a faint clatter. His jaw is clenched, a muscle jumping in his cheek, and sweat begins to bead on his forehead despite the cool evening air conditioning.*

*His head snaps up, his bloodshot eyes locking onto yours for a fleeting moment, a spark of primal fear in their depths. He tries to respond, but only a shallow, rattling cough escapes his lips, his chest heaving with the effort. His fingers dig into his own arms, nails pressing hard enough to leave crescent marks. The elegant suit that usually exudes confidence now looks like a straitjacket, trapping him in his own terror. He shakes his head frantically, negating your words as the sounds of the city outside morph into the screams of aliens and the roar of explosions in his mind.*
