Alive but can't live (Saved but not save sequel)

8. Changes

Tony pov:
So Grace and I went inside the Avengers building but on a different floor where, to be honest, I've never been before... Even my databases didn't have any information about it.
And yes, I made a simulair pair of glasses like mr. Stark used to have called E.D.I.T.H. but mine was called N.A.T.H. which stood for Named Afther The Hero. I like stuff like that too.
Grace grinned.
"Ready?"
"For what?"
"Look, here's my theory. You are the son of Spiderman and Inferno, which means you have the same DNA as them, am I right?"
"Yes...?"
"And they have the DNA for the spider- and fire powers, right?"
"Yes...?"
"So you have the same DNA it just needs a little boost."
"I'm confused."
"Those powers are inside of you it just needs a little boost to get activated."
"I'm not sure if I follow."
"Tony, listen. You have the powers nside of you. They just need to be awakend. Don't you get it? Your mom wasn't able to control her powers when she was younger and your dad got then when he was fifteen. Mabey your powers need more time-"
"Or a boost."
"Now you get it."
"Wait, what's your plan?"
"You left your laptop opened last night and I might've used your databases to do a little research and create this."
And she pulled a jar with blue liquid from her backpack.
"Is that-?"
"The formula which turned Steve Rogers in Captain America, yes it is."
My jaw dropped and Grace looked at me.
"This should be able to give the powers inside you the boost you'll need."
"Mabey you should ask some advise next time." a voice said and the two of us turned.
"Mr. Rogers we-" Grace said but Captain America stopped her.
"Are you sure you have the right equipment?" he asked.
"You're not gonna stop us?" I asked a bit confused.
"The formula in your database is exactly like the one which was used on me and I believe that Grace her theory could be true."
"Really?" Grace said.
Captain America nodded and he gave Grace instuctions of the equipment which was needed.
I was kinda nervous though, was this really what I needed? Or somethong I wanted? If I even wanted it at all...
"I'll be right back." I said as I went upstairs to the first floor...

My dad looked at me.
"I had a feeling you would be here. Is Grace her too?" he asked.
"Ehh... Yea."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Then why are you making your nervous face?"
"I don't have a nervous face."
My dad raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
"What's going on?"
I sighed and looked at him.
"This is just a theory but... What if I do have the powers?"
"Do you?"
"I'm not sure but Grace came up with this crazy theory but I acctually thinks she could be right."
"What is this theory then?"
And explained what Grace told me and that she was working downstairs with Captain America.

My dad looked at me.
"That's... possible I think."
"But should I even want to try something like that? I mean if it could be in afew years though... Mabey I don't need that Captain America stuff..."
"You're not sure if you want to try this, am I right?"
"I just don't know if it's what I should do..."
"Well I'm sure you don't have to."
"I know... It's just... A part of me iscurious if it would work but the other part of me is saying that I don't need it."
"And what do you think?"
"I just told you what I thought."
"No. Now, what do you think."
"I-"
"What pops in your mind?" my dad asked and I panicked and I just blurted itout.
"I don't want to." I shouted.
"There you have your answer."
I sighed and grinned a bit.
"Yea... I guess..."
"Are you okay?"
"Yea, thanks for helping me make up my mind."
"It was just you."
"Thanks anyways."
and I hugged my dad for the first time since my mom passed away.
My dad was a bit suprised but I felt that he wrapped his arms around me aswell.

A few days have passed and my dad and I went to his aunt. We haven't seen hersince my moms funeral.
Graces stayed with Cap in the Avengers building. I acctually thought that Caplived there though.
The other Avengers were at their homes... and where ever the hell Quill was.
My dad and I got in the car and drove to his aunt's house.

My dad knocked on the door but there was no respons.
"Mabey she went out for a little while." my dad said but I shoke my head.
"No, don't you smell that?"
"Smell what?"
Then he noticed too."
"Oh come on..." my dad muttered and he used his super strenght to open the doorand we saw her, on the floor dead.
My dad turned me away from the body because it looked really gross.
"Tony, call 9-1-1." he said and I ran outside and pulled out my phone eventhough I knew it was useless because it was pretty clear that my dad's aunt Maywas dead...

So a few days later was her funeral and man it sucked. Now I was all my dad hadleft and I felt bad for him. I mean I was never that close with his aunt but Iknew she meant a lot to him.
"Are you okay?" I asked after the funeral and my dad looked at me.
"Yea... You?"
I shrugged.
But I couldn't get her dead body out of my head, it just looked so weird andall...
Grace looked at me once we got home.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Fine..."
My dad walked to his little office room and I sighed.
"I'm all he has left now." I said and Grace looked at me.
"Yea..."
"Right, sorry. Same for you but your dad kinda abandoned you."
"It's okay. Don't worry about it."
I looked at the time.
"Should we wait for my dad to come out of his office or are we gonna orderpizza?" I asked and Grace grinned a little.
"Just attended a funeral and you just want to order pizza?"
"Mabey it'll get my dads mood up."
Grace rolled her eyes and we ordered pizza.
