Legends Never Die

Chapter One

"And I......am.....Ironman", SNAP. 

"Tony", 

He whips around, trying to find the voice. But he looks and sees his body, which is beginning to stumble and fall. 

He patted his chest as if his hands would go through-but they were met with warm solid chest-albeit with scars.

"What's happening?" he tried to say, but he sounded underwater.

He watches Peter, Pepper and Rhodney run to him as he supports himself against some debris. 

His heart feels like it's getting stabbed as he watches Peter finally call him Tony.

 Pepper sat down next to him, and Friday gave his failing vitals.

 "Tony", the voice said again, a California woman's voice. 

He feels a hand on his shoulder, but he doesn't take his eyes away from his closest family's broken faces.

 "It's not your time yet...", 

He turns to the voice, but there is no one there, and he feels himself fading like a mist, his hands are disappearing like a phantom.

 He closes his eyes as his suit's reactor flickers and dies.

 "Peter!", he yells, shooting straight up from the covers.

Covers-

Tony looks around, this wasnt the battlefield, hell this wasnt even his room.

"Don't worry Tony, this room has been sound proofed, no one heard you". 

He looks around for the voice, "who said that- what is wrong with my voice?!!", he cries, not expecting how feminine it sounded.

 "Tony....you need to relax, we couldn't use your original body due to the damage, but she is worthy to hold your pain and trauma, and all the genius that is you". 

"So...", Tony looks at his-her hands,"I'm a girl now..." 

"Yes, but you are still Tony Stark, you just have the body, memory and a touch of personality from Quinn Ketchum". 

Tony doesn't speak for a moment, "Who are you? Why am I alive?". 

A new voice, a deep, quiet, russian woman's voice chuckled slightly, "You are in Helena Montana, and we...well, angle your wrist so your pulses touch". 

Tony angles her wrist, "now tap twice, then rotate your right hand sky up". 

She followed the commands and orbiting around it were the Infinity Stones. 

The Soul Stone broke orbit and floated to Tony's face. 

"Hello Tony", the familiar California voice said. 

"You're the ones who saved me...why?". 

 "It wasn't your time yet, you still a place in this fisco of a universe. Now, you'll be staying here to get used to your new form, and you might want to hide that". 

"Hide what?", Tony said, looking down. 

And there peeking through her dark blue night shirt, was the arc reactor. 

"What the fuvl what the fucl what the fukj-"

"Woah, tony take a deep breath....we didn't want to put it back believe us"

 "Her physical heart was the only thing that couldn't keep up, so we put the reactor back in. We promise you that there will not be any chronic pain, but it'll take a while for you to recover".
