~Chapter 17~
Hadley growled as they slammed her onto the table
"Strap her down" Tony said with a sigh as he got things ready in his lab
Steve and Bruce nodded and grabbed the straps and tied Hadley down to the table.
Bruce yelped as he got slapped in the face
Tony sighed and dragged over a machine with a breathing hospital mask hooked up to it
"I'm sorry Hadley. I promise you'll thank me" Tony said, approaching her
He tried to hold her head still so he could put on the mask, her kicking and screaming worsened at this
Finally he got the mask over her face, anesthesia flowed through it until Hadley stopped struggling and fell limp on the table
Tony sighed and moved the mask, running his fingers through his hair
"Where did you get anesthesia?" Bruce asked
Tony looked at him "Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to. Now help me get this thing off her"
Bruce nodded and they got to work, prying the arm of the device out of her skin.
With each sharp arm they pulled out, they dried up blood and clotted the holes in her back
It took a bit but eventually they finally got the machine off of her
Tony inspected it quietly
"Amazing... It uses electronic surges to control the nerves in the body that directly connect to the brain... It seems like using verbal commands it lets you take control of whoever it's attached to"
"That's definitely dangerous to have in the wrong hands" Bruce said, looking at it
"I agree" Tony said, "I'll put it away. Lock it up."
Bruce nodded as Tony walked off then looked at Hadley "Will she be okay?"
"She'll be fine. She'll wake up in an hour or so and probably won't remember what happened.." Tony said, looking at her
Bruce watched him for a moment before sighing "I wouldn't worry too much... She's strong"
"I know.." Tony said
Bruce watched him a moment more
"And I fully believe that she likes you too" he added before leaving the room
Tony smiled lightly at that and nodded. He looked down at Hadley and moved a strand of hair from her face
He glanced around before quietly placing a small kiss on her nose
He rubbed her forehead before standing straight and leaving the lab, letting her recover

Hadley groaned as she woke up, her hands jerking at her restraints
"What.." she looked at her restraints in confusion then around the room. She was in Tony's lab at the tower... Why? And why was she strapped down?
"Hello?? Tony??" She called, struggling
