"How does a moment last forever?"

*2,000 feet*

"How does our happiness endure?"

*1,900 feet*

"Through the darkest of our troubles,-"

*1,800 feet*

"-love is beauty, love is pure."

*1,700 feet*

Tony and I at the movies, watching Darkest Hour.

*1,600 feet*

Tony spinning me around to an old record, both of us laughing and singing along.

*1,500 feet*

Tony and I in his pool, making faces at each other underwater.

*1,400 feet*

Me, sobbing after getting the news my parents had just died in a car crash, and Tony comforting me and never leaving my side.

*1,100 feet*

Me, making Tony chicken soup when he is sick. He smiles gratefully and kisses my cheek. I blush and turn back to the stove.

*1,000 feet*

"Love pays no mind to desolation."

*900 feet*

"It flows like a river through the soul."

*800 feet*

"Protects, persists, and perseveres; and makes us whole..."

*700 feet*

Tony in his Iron Man suit reaching out to catch me as I fall through the sharp air-

*500 feet*

Tony, still as Iron Man, wrapping his arms around me, holding me as he turns to point his feet towards the ground-

*200 feet*

Reality and memory blend together as the momentum of my fall slows. Tony holds me tightly as he turns his rocket boots to max power to slow our descent. As we hit the ground, it jars Tony and he stumbles. He falls to his knees and gently lays me on the ground. His masks flips open and his panicked face is less than a foot away from mine. "Amara! Amara, no, stay with me, please!" My vision starts to blur again and Tony shouts, "NO!! AMES!! PLEASE!!" It looks like he's crying, though through the thickening haze, it's hard to tell. "NO PLEASE!! I CAN'T LOSE YOU!! I-I LOVE YOU!!!" All at once, a strength I never knew I had courses through me. I gasp a breath of sweet, cold oxygen and my vision clears. "I'm not going anywhere, silly." I choke out weakly. "Oh thank God! I can't believe I just said that, you're alive! I love you, I love you, I love-" I lean up and cut off his relieved rant with my lips against his. He kisses back and gently holds my head up. "I love you too, you idiot. Now go and save the world!" I say firmly, slowly gaining my strength back. "And leave you here? Not happening, sweetheart." he replies with a frown. "Fine, then drop me off on the Helicarrier and go. You have to do this, Tony!" He nods and gently picks me up. Less than a minute later, we land on the deck of the flying ship. He hands me off with another kiss to medics and flies away. I cheer and wait nervously for my love to return.
