I woke up from a dreamless sleep. I haven't slept so well in years. Sitting up on my bed stretching out my free arm I heard a knock at the door.
I felt my heart race but tried my best to keep my breathing steady asking, "who's there?"
"Lady Y/N," Thor said, "is it ok if I come in?"
"Yes come in Thor."
"Tony asks that you join us all in a meal," he smiles at me wide awake unlike myself.
"Yes, I'd love to join you. Thank you." He nods and leaves my room quickly.
I walk to the bathroom before meeting the rest of the team in the kitchen. My hair looked a mess but I was starving and I hoped they'd let me eat and drink something today.
Walking into the kitchen I see Thor, Steve and Bruce sat along the island eating pancakes and eggs. Clint was stood over the stove cooking while Natasha was sat on the couch drinking what I assumed to be coffee.
Jane drank that every morning before my first morning injections.
Not letting my mind slipping back to those memories I walk over I sit down next to Thor on the island.
"Would you like some?" Clint asks.
Stopping myself from asking if I could I simply said yes which seemed to make everyone happy.

*30 minutes later*
I'd finished eating three pancakes with a sweet syrup on top and realized Tony wasn't there.
"Um guys, where's is Tony?" I ask.
Natasha walked by me quickly putting her mug in the sink, "he is downstairs in his lab. I'm sure you know he is quite the genius. You can go see him if you'd like."
She smiled at me for the first time of me being here which is comforting knowing she doesn't completely despise me. " Take the elevator up and his lab should be to your right. Jarvis will guild you up there."
The elevator had like 500 buttons. How big is this place?
I walk out and turn right to see Tony surrounded by hollow grams and using a machine on a one of his Iron mask for his suit.
I knocked on the glass door, "Come in Y/N" he said moving the hallow grams to the side.
"I need you to do me a favor."
"Anything" I say knowing that I basically owe him my life at this point.
"I need you to show me your powers," he says while pushing a couple buttons in front of him.

"Show me something," she said holding the remote firmly in hand waiting impatiently.
"Show me now you worthless brat!"

"Hellowwww earth to Y/N," he snapped near my face pulling me out of the flashback.
"Sorry- I - I just remembered something." He noticed my nerves and tried to reassure me.
"All I want is to help you. I make you some cool tech if I don't know what your power is. Blueberry?" He asks holding open the small bag to me.
I politely declined having lost my appetite. "I will show you but I might need some room so move back a bit," I say getting into a stable position while he gladly takes a few steps back.

He won't hurt you just focus.

I breathe in one more time slowly readying my hands for the pain I know is coming.
My hands heat up and burst into flame as I try and hold in my obvious pain.

Focus Y/N.

My eyes go from calm brown to a bright aggravated gold. And finally I slowly push my wings out ripping two large holes into the back of my new shirt.
I look down waiting for a response and nothing.
So I look up and see Tony's face in awe.
"This is amazing Y/N. Tell me how-" he says shifting his eyes to my wings, his smile turning into a straight line, "what did they do to you?"
"Argghhhhah" I Yelp out not being able to hold it on any longer letting my eyes go dim and the fires in my palms going out.
"What's wrong Y/N?" Tony says running up in front of my to catch me before I fall trying to avoid my wings.
"Talk to me kid. Jarvis bring a table."
"Right away Mr.Stark." Jarvis says bringing a long slender table out in front of Tony. He lays me down sideways facing him.
Catching my breath I am able to pull my wings back in to lay back flat.
"The fire in my hands burn my skin. I can't control it."
"Ok ok I got you kid just let me see," he reaches out to grab my hand gently. He looks at me as though he is asking for my permission and I grant it to him with a small nod.

His hands were warm but rough.

He must spend a lot of time building down here, I thought.

"I can fix this. I might need a little blood to figure it out," he says picking up a small machine that pokes me in the forearm taking some blood with it, "but I can definitely do this."
He walks off to place the machine into a computer that lets out huge diagrams of number and letters I don't recognize.
"Jarvis play some music," he says pushing buttons and picking up things, "So can you only make people blind or what kid?"
"I can make them blind or make them see whatever I want or use their memories to show them something from there," I tell him nonchalantly getting up from the table. He looks back at me and says, "That's pretty cool kid. And what about your wings uh what happened to them."
He asks hesitantly turning around with a more serious look on his face.
"Jane... she uh.. she would hurt them if I didn't comply after my treatments," I say looking into his unchanged face searching for that pity everyone seemed to have for me, but there was nothing.
"Good thing we took that bitch down because no one is hurting my girl now," he says smiling at me and handing me a syringe that came out from a smoky machine.
"The serum is ready sir," Jarvis states.
"This will make it so that your hands don't burn. It will also help reengage the self healing which seemed to be an effect from your previous uh.. you know," he says awkwardly.
"You can put in in yourself. I don't think you'd want someone doing that to you again. The wings will health soon with this as well, might take some time."
I immediately push it into my thigh and watch the red liquid drain down until the syringe is empty. "I can't tell you how thankful I am of you Mr.Stark," I begin telling him before he cuts me off.
" Ahhh blehhgghh Don't give me that sentimental crap it makes me sick," he says walking back up to his screens with a hidden smile on his face. "All in a days work for a billionaire, playboy, genius, superhero."
I chuckled at his narcissistic nature.
"I'll see you for diner Mr.Stark-"
"Tony! Call me Tony Y/N." He yells out not looking back.

This feels nice. Is this what it's like to have family?
