Pain, suffering, and a bit of hope. (Ironstrange)

Where are we

Stephen
"Steph, are you okay?" I hear Tony ask and I give him a thumbs up as I continue to cough. I feel a hand placed on my back and see that it's Steve.

We haven't been on good terms since the fight but I did send him an image of how my lungs were after the attack so he knew just how much his rage needs to be kept in check. He's tried to make it up to me by helping me with different ways to get more air into my lungs but it doesn't help for long.

I now suffer slight blackouts from it and he only found that out because we were going over a different way for me to breathe better and I started to see small black dots in the corner of my vision again.

I came to again but this time on one of the couches with Steve sitting in a chair watching me nervously. Since then he hasn't lost control of his rage. Bruce has started to catch on and I notice him walking over to us before the black dots in my vision appear again.

Tony
I see Stephen start falling but Levi and Steve are quick to help him stand straight again. I see Bruce talk with Steve for a moment before taking Stephen to one of the spare rooms to rest. Steve looks nervous about what happened and he seems to be muttering something.

I walk over to him and when he looks in my direction he sighs before saying "He blacked out. Its been happening for a while now and we've been working on different ways to help him breathe better until he can can go through a whole spell that will help heal his lungs."

I take off down the direction Bruce went and I see Peter swing just in front of me and lands at a door before opening it when I get next to him. We walk in and Bruce leaves us with Stephen as he lays in bed. I place a hand to his face and get connected to a memory of his.

The memory

Younger Stephen
"Stephy come play with me." Donna says and I turn away from my homework to look at her.

"Donna I can't. I have homework to do."

"Please, Victor won't play with me." She begs and I look at her and sigh.

"Fine, but I have to finish my homework before mom and dad get home. You know how they get when I don't have it done."

Donna nods with a smile and hugs me before running off to get her dolls. I turn back to my homework to finish it. I put it back in my bag when I finish and then walk to the living room to find Donna sitting and playing with her dolls. I sit down and get handed a few dolls.

Victor was sitting on the couch watch us. He's never been a fan of me having to constantly watch them because he wants mom and dad to hangout with us all more.

I play with her for a while before I check my watch and have Donna and Victor put everything up while I get dinner made.

Twenty minutes later

Mom and dad walk in and they look tired. I mouth to Victor and Donna to be quiet while I work on serving mom and dad dinner.

Later

After I get Donna and Victor to bed I walk into the kitchen to find mom standing there with my pills and a glass of water.

"Stephen come here and take your pills. We can't have you dying in your sleep because your lungs collapsed." She says and I walk over and take them. She and dad don't think my lungs are actually collapsing from the chemistry accident.

Our chemistry teacher hadn't looked at what she had grabbed so when she pored it into the mix it caused an poisonous gas to start leaking into the air. We all had gas masks in case something like this were to ever happen. A kid in my class named Dave had one that was busted a bit and he had heart issues so I tossed mine to him and let him use it.
