Its always been you.

Chapter 4

"I may have um replaced his spine with one from one of his old suits but hey look on the bright side, now he really is Iron man" Bruce said trying to lighten the mood but still looking down at me with sympathy. I cry on the floor and Clint comes over and wraps his hands around me, rocking me from side to side. I look up to Wanda and notice her glaring at Clint, and then leaving the room.

"I need to see her, I need to see Tony" I stay, still on the floor. Bruce nods and I stand up and follow him. I turn to see Clint looking disappointed and scowling but I think nothing of it...

I walk into the room where I immediately notice Tony unconscious and run towards him. My eyes fill with tears when I see that his back has a massive scar going from the top of his neck to his waistline. "Um Bruce, please can I have a minute alone with him?" I ask weakly. "Of course you can, take as long as you want okay." He smiles at me but I could see the sadness in his eyes as he left. I lean my head over Tonys and whisper in his ear "I'm so so sorry Tony, You have no idea how sorry I am, I know we're not close but you're my brother and I love you and I would never intentionally hurt you" I cry and hang my head as I feel the guilt wash over me. I look at how pale he was and kiss his cheek softly.

I go to leave the room when I hear a groan. "Y/n is that you?" Tony mumbled, I turn and run to his side. "Hey, it's okay I'm here I'm so sorry". "FUCK" Tony screams in agony. "Hey, what's wrong what can I do?" I ask urgently. "It hurts y/n, it hurts really fucking bad" Tony cries trying to hold his pain. "BRUCE, HE'S AWAKE PLEASE COME QUICK" I yell in a panic as I have never seen him in this much pain before. I try and calm him down he keeps screaming. Bruce and the rest of the Avengers run into the room with me. "Watch out y/n I need to give Tony an injection for the pain." Bruce said grabbing the syringe off the table. I stand up and go stand next to Wanda. I notice Clint watching me and apparently Wanda did as well because she suddenly slips her hand into mine and rubs the back of my hand with her thumb. I smile at Wanda and notice Clint look away angrily in the corner of my eye. I narrow my eyebrows confused until I got distracted...

"Okay he's okay now, he's not in pain anymore," Bruce says as he walks over to me. "Okay, thank you so much, Bruce, seriously, thank you," I say as I give him a hug. He wraps his arms around me and smiles into my hair. I let go and run over to Tony, "I'm so sorry Tone, I never meant to put you through that I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me, I love you I never mean to-" I stop as Tony puts his hand over mouth, "Oh shut up y/n, you're my sister, you're family, of course, I forgive you and I love you too, as much as I don't say it, you're my baby sister. Now come here you" Tony hugs me and I bury my head into the crook of his neck and shut my eyes, sighing happily. "Well, I think my first impressions went really well, don't you?" I chuckled, but still sad. Tony laughs, "Y/n, you'll probably spend the rest of your life with these people, first impressions don't matter." 

"Okay so I see he took it well, I was scared you'd be mad." Bruce laughed, I quickly let go of Tony and shake my head quickly trying to signal Bruce but it was too late. "So you're really not mad I gave you a spine, well that's definitely surprising," Bruce said smiling. I smack my head against my palm. "YOU WHAT?" Tony yells, sitting up rapidly. Bruce looks at me with the face of regret and frowns. "Hey don't blame me, I was trying to tell you but you didn't listen, and plus, I'm not the one who replaced his spine was I?" I said with a grin, feeling happier for the first time in a while. That didn't last long though. "No you only broke his back and put him in a coma" Bruce said spitefully. Everyone looked at him shocked, he's never spoken like that before so this confused everyone. I lower my head as my newfound happiness is quickly drained. "Hey, she said she was sorry and it's not her fault she can't control her powers yet, she hasn't even had training" I look up and see Wanda yelling at Bruce in her thick accent. Wanda comes to stand by my side again, putting her arm around my waist, my stomach flutters, and I bite back my smile. Bruce suddenly snaps back out of his anger mindset and says "Soooo, anyway, Tony you're going to have to stay in bed for a few days whilst you gain your strength back and then we'll do some more check ups on you and if they're clear you are free to go, for the meantime, rest." Bruce says with a smile, looking up at me apologetically. I show a small smile back and my smile grows bigger as I look at Tony, my happiness slowly making its way back.
