    Summary

    Tony has always been a master at hiding his feelings behind sarcasm and boldness, but Bucky's return after being rescued from Hydra hits him harder than expected. Bucky is now inseparable from Steve, leaving Tony to watch from the sidelines as he's forgotten. Feeling overshadowed, he retreats into his work.

    When a nasty flu strikes, Tony brushes it off—he’s Iron Man, after all. But his stubbornness to admit weakness spirals into disaster as his health deteriorates. The rest of the team, too busy with missions and Bucky’s adjustment, fails to notice until Tony collapses. With some much-needed tough love from Steve and an unexpected heart-to-heart with Bucky, Tony learns how important he really is.
