"Cj. it's me Clint. 

Clint was slowly approaching Tony hands slightly raised so as not to make any sudden moves that might scare the man into sending him through the same window as cap.  but using the name Tony had back in school doesn't seem to be doing any good, so as much as he didn't want to Clint is starting to think he won't have any chose.

taking a deep breath he called. "Tony? you in there?" that worked, because at least now Tony was looking at him, really looking at him, like when they where teens, and it did something way down deep in Clint's chest. but he shook it away, there wasn't time for that now.

"you've down a great job. you kept all of us safe. but now we need you to claim down and come back to us. to me."

"pleas Tony come back to me."

"why? you don't care, all you've been is a dick to me since we joined the avengers." tony's voice had lost some of the power it had before, and his eyes still glue bright and even they seemed to be dimming. and now Clint couldn't help but worry that something was wrong.

"your right. I have been a dick. but do you know why I was being an ass? "

"no"

" I was an ass because I was mad that you were never around. I was  being an ass because I didn't want to get close to you, and deep down I think I knew along that you were first person I trusted in a long time when I was a scared kid. and I didn't want to be hurt like I was back then when I thought you'd died, because I cared about you to much. think I still do." 

"so came on, come back and we can talk about this. I don't think I can. it's to much power, I can't stop it, and I can't hurt you. any of you."

"you won't hurt me, I know you won't. YOU DON"T KNOW THAT. yes I do. and I can prove it."

and he did he took two long steads and wrapped his arms around Tony.

"come back to me." Clint whispered to him. and that's all it took, he felt Tony nodded and then all but melt into his embrace, as broken sobs racked Tony's body. but know sound came out, still trying to look strong, even though he had know reason to. not after what he'd just down, know one would every dar to think him weak every again. 

all the brotherhood and every thing else that Tony had been levitating fell to the ground all at once, with know control what so ever. most of the brotherhood was to high up or unconscious to have heard much of what was said between Clint and Tony. and the hight meant they where all pretty stunned when they land, making it a lot easier for the X-Men to round them up. but as Clint looked around the most wanted was know where to be seen. 

magneto was gone.

" come on Tony let's get you inside. "

"Tony? Tony? wake up." Clint pulled back to look at him and found closed eyes. but this close at least he cloud tell that Tony was still breathing. so not dead, just not a wake or responding. which wasn't much better in his book.

"guys I needed some help over here." Clint called out and when he looked up he saw jean coming there way. but something was wrong. her eyes where lowing the same way Tony's do, only differing was the fact that hers were pink not blue.

Tony didn't know what had happened one minute he was fighting mutants in the school the he was lying on his back in the front yard, whit his head leaning on Clint fucking Bartons shoulder. what the fuck happened. and why was he getting the feeling that danger was fast approaching. 

turning his head so it wasn't buried in Clint's chest, Tony saw just why he felt the danger. 

jean grey.

jeans eyes where glowing pinky purple, and Tony felt his own respond by flashing back blue. he cloud also feel the power rushing back, but unlike the last time it wasn't taking over. he was in control.

"Clint you have to get every one to the X-men levels under the house." Clint's head wiped around to face him, clearly have not noticed that Tony had woken up.

"what are you talking about? what's going on."

"the day I faked my death the prof told me some day two mutants with the power of the phoenix would meet on a field of battle. but only one would walk away. I thought that I was free of the prophesy after we went up against each other back then, but when have I ever been that lucky."

"no I'm not letting you go up against her knowing you might be the one not walking away. I can't lose you when I just got you back."

"If I don't stop her she could kill the world, I don't have a choses. and be sides when have I ever done what I was suppose to? I doin't care I'm not leaving you." Tony brought one of his gloved hands  to Clint's check and said. " yes you are, you all are." 

Tony used his power to grab hold of everyone in the yard, X-Men avengers and brotherhood alike and dragged them all into the house. the last thing Tony heard was Clint yelling that he didn't have to do this on his own. and Tony wonder why he didn't get that he did have to do this alone. that sooner or later he was always alone.

Tony was think of how to take jean down, but one look into the pinky purple fiery eyes told him there was know why that was happening. but he still owed it to the women to try.

"jean stated down, we don't have to do this."

"oh but we do. if was foretold long ago that this moment would come, and we both know why this has to be."

she was right and he knew it. there was a mutant with the power of a phoenix  born once every thousand years, it brought some kind of balance to the universe, and having two living at once throws things off.  and since it was impossible for Charles to put another wall in a mind once you've broken one. so there was know way out of this fight.

Tony and jean raised there hands at the same time a shot out waves of power, each others waves canceled out the others. 

jean was powerful and Tony was half spent for already using his power so much, in other words there was know way he was the one walking away from this fight. and was only four things that he was sorry about not getting to do he for he died. and he was half shocked that there wasn't more but he guessed when your about to be killed some things you thought impotent  now just seem so unimportant. Tony was sorry that he didn't get to say goodbye to paper  Rhodey  and happy. but most of all he was sorry he wouldn't have a chance with Clint.

they've been going at it for about five minutes and Tony was bearly holding his own as he doughs another tree flying at his head. he fell back on the ground hard, and he was just so tired and sick of everything that he thought of just staying there at letting jean finish him off. but then something cote his eye. on of Clint's arrows was sticking out of the ground, and the images of Clint's face as Tony dragged him and the rest of the avengers and brotherhood into the house flashed in his mind. 

and in that moment Tony knew he didn't want to just lay here and die, he had to fight, because there was no way he could hurt Clint again by dying. 

so he slowly got to his feet and took a deep breath, then fracked out with his power. feeling for the ever air it's self. 

it had been years and years since he last did this and last time he had it almost killed him, and he hadn't even been on the same leave as this. 

but he was out of options, this was his last hope. so once he had his power around every last air molecule that was around jean, he started to pull them away from her.

she respond almost a mediately by starting to make a dust nado around him, making it hard to see or even breath. but he did his best to block it out. and focus one take every last molecule of air from her. and after a moment the dust and dirt around Tony start to die down. and that's when he saw jean, withering on the ground desperately trying to take a breath. one both knew wound never come. 

slowly Tony makes his way over to her, and the sight and sound of her dying brings tears to his eyes and lets his hold one the air around her go just a little. and she looks up at him with watery bloodshot eyes and gives him a small smile. as if saying it's okay.

"tell me I don't have to do this. pleas. I don't want to do this." he pleads.

"you..ha..h'have to. and...we..both.noit. so pleas just end it ... already. and ..tell...tell Scott I .. love him"

"I will. I'm sorry" he said before looking away, and used his power to brake her neck. 

it was over and he'd lived. he let his hold on the house go so everyone was free to come out. he didn't much care, he'd just had to kill one of the best people he'd ever know, and all he felt was numb. then the world started to tilt and go all black and Tony found for once in his life he didn't feel the need to fight it. the last thing he heard before slipping into the darkness was someone calling his name.

the first thing that came  to Tony as he fought off the darkness, was how warm something pressing against his right side was.

and since Tony hated not knowing, well everything . he forced his way to heavy eyelids open, and was glad to find that the room he was in wasn't flooded with light like most are when he wakes up. 

after a small fight with his eyes not wanting to focus, Tony was able to find the sours of the heat. 

it was none other then the bird brain himself. Clint. and he was in what looked to be Tony's room at the towner. how the hell did he get here?

"what happened for you to get stuck with guard duty." Tony asked or tried to anyways, with how horsed his voiced sounded it would be a miracle if Clint had been able to make any of if out.

"here dink this" Clint said as a straw was brought to his parched lips. he drank half the cup before Clint put it back on the bedside table.

"I didn't" 

"didn't what?"

"I didn't get stuck with anything. I want to be here, unless you want some one else" Clint made to get up but Tony stoped him by putting his hand on Clint's leg, a little higher then he'd meant to.

"did you just wake up, or are you just that happy to see me." Tony said. but didn't move his hand from where It had ended up, and then smiled when he saw Clint turn red. 

"shout up, I just woke up. and if you don't move your hand it's only going to get worse."

"OH? move it like this?" Tony asked has he started to rub his plum up and down the large bulged in Clint's pants. which earn a moan form the man. 

"Tony we can't, not right now. oh and why is that?" by this time Tony has undone both Clints pants button and zipper and has his hand down the front of Clint's boxers. 

"because your hurt and need time to heal. and... so do I." that got Tony to pause. "your hurt how were, what happened?" 

"I'm fine, or I will be but I got a bruise on my  lower back that hurts like hell.  so that's why we should wait, because I can't show you a good time or let you show me one."

"I can still show you a good time without you having to be on your back  or on top of me." as If to prove his point Tony started back up with giving Clint a hand job. and Clint thought it only fare to return the favor. sliding the covers back and then slide his own hand down Tony's sweatpants and boxers, and wrapped his hand around tony's cock, which was already at half mass. 

with their arms and bodies at this angel mead it a little uncomfortable for the both of that so finally Clint said. " lets lay on are sides facing each other." Tony didn't have to be told twice, but before he rolled over he pull his pants and underwear down to his knees, living his massive cock on full display. Clint would have down the same but the action would have put to much pusher on his hurting back. 

Tony slide right up to Clint and took both their cocks in his hand an started bringing his hand slowly upward and Clint couldn't help but moan, because damn Tony was good. and then the next thing he knew his mouth was captured in and hot needed kiss. and if Tony kept up this pace much longer he wasn't.

and for a moment Clint wonder if Tony somehow now had the power to read minds, because he said. " you don't have to hold off, this my be the first time but it won't be the last." 

and that all it took for Clint to come fast and hot and less then a second later so did Tony. 

"that was awesome." Tony said after they'd both cleaned up.

"yea, it was. first but not last? first but not last."

 they spent the rest of the night sleeping in each other's arms and that's how the rest of the avenger found them when the came home  from helping the X-men fix the school.
