Arc Tremors (Gen)

Great story on how the team pulls together after New York. You can not fly through a portal with a near death experience like that and have everything be just fine. A problem develops with Tony's heart, not the reactor but the points where it is attached to the heart. Eventually his heart begins to fail and the only solution is a risky surgery. While there are some very good action scenes especially the last few chapters where Tony proves for once and all that he is BAMF even recovering from surgery and J.A.RV.I.S. is so human; this story is primarily about the interaction with the team members as they realize just how import Tony is to all of them. It's about weakness in front of your friends, strengths when pain is all consuming, about trust and how sometimes the best families are the ones we make. The shower scene was just heartbreaking and the weaker Tony became the closer the team becomes. Anyone who has watched someone decline in health will relate to the scenes because they have an amazing grasp of reality. The characters stay true to themselves including when Thor brings back Coulson's last words from Valhalla. I admit to tears on that one.
