070: [Accidental Video Post]

Rain is sitting curled up on a rock deep, deep in the woods, very far from her own home. Her backpack is beside her, her batteries held tightly in one hand, as she stares off into the trees. If one were to listen carefully, you could probably hear the low whisper of a chant.

... what's wrong?

What? Oh!

I... I didn't know this was on.

I... I'm just thinking.

The systems are pretty easy to turn on accidentally. Trust me, I know.

You just look so sad. I was hoping you're alright.

I guess I feel pretty sad.

But I'll be okay.

The woods and the rocks make me feel better.

They do?

Always.

And I can hear the birds and sometimes see the animals and it reminds me that I'm not alone.

Even when I feel very alone or scared.

Ah. I think I understand.

I'm glad you're somewhere you want to be, then. Hopefully it'll help you to feel better.

Me too.

It's very nice of you to check on me.

How is your song coming?

It's finished, actually. I'm just putting the finishing touches on it.

Oh, I'll be glad to hear it when it's all done.

You'll be the second person to hear it. I promise.

Would you like to meet my dragons later, if you're feeling better?

I would very much.

The glimpse I caught of them before made me smile.

Tony flew out to where Rain was the instant he saw the video post. He had no idea what could be bothering her but he didn't care, all he knew was that she was in distress. He landed a short ways from her and walked up to her.

"Rain?"

She'd heard him coming, she always knew when he was close, so she turned and smiled at him a little sadly. "Iron Man, hello."

Tony frowned behind the mask at how distressed she obviously was. He was torn between the urge to comfort her and to find out what was making her feel like this and destroy it.

"Would you like a hug?" he asked.

She nodded, but couldn't quite make herself get up and go to him.

Tony sat down next to her and put an arm around her before pulling her in close to him.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked softly.

She curled into him tightly, wrapping her arms around him, but shook her head. "Just want you to hold me," she whispered.

"Okay," he said, pulling her up into his lap. "That I can do. That I like to do."

He could probably feel the batteries against his back as she held on, but Rain didn't care. Her Iron Man was here and he made everything better.

After a long time she let out a long breath. "How did you find me?" she asked.

He just sat and held her without saying anything. He knew that sometimes just having someone else there was more help than any words.

"With the locator I gave you," he said.

She nodded.

"I didn't think I wanted to see anyone at all, but I'm glad you came."

"I'm glad you wanted to see me," he admitted, giving her a small squeeze. "I would hate to see you so upset and not be able to come to you."

She looked up at him in some surprise. "I would always want to see you. You're my best friend."
