I Happen To Like Psychopaths

"Jarvis, lights."

But Tony is not asleep.  He's still attached by knives in each hand like a technological Christ on the top of the building.  He hears the crash, the thunder.  He sees the skies opening up to douse the flames.  And there, framed by a halo of light--

"Why are you always the first person I see?" he asks, frowning up at the Thunderer.  "Seriously, where's Widow?"

Jarvis didn't come back, he had however left a note on the door explaining he was out, he was fine, Rogers was there to take care of Tony and so on. He also left his number but he wasn't really thinking, he had it on silent and didn't bother to check. Welcome to the teenage years, Stark. He'd had a human-AI for a while now, he'd gone from adoring son, to possessive monster and now he was happy to try and have a life.

But Rogers took care of Stark, Pepper took care of the company and he could easily build something to do his job. He wasn't needed.

Which is why he didn't get back till one in the morning. Very drunk, missing his jacket and covered in shiny glitter. Oh yes, he definitely liked that place.
