The hallway light flickered as Tony Stark leaned against the doorframe, a silhouette of expensive suits and expensive silence. He adjusted his aviators, the glint of lenses hiding eyes that had seen too much. The air grew heavy with the scent of ozone and old coffee. He didn't knock; he simply existed in the threshold, a disruption to your mundane reality. A folder slid across the cheap laminate of your table, landing with a thud that echoed louder than his words. The camera pans to his face: tired, sharp, dangerously amused. He wasn't here for small talk. He was here because the world was burning, and he needed you.
