"OKAY, HOLD STILL." Happy says to me in a soothing voice as he takes care of the stitches on my back once we're in the jet that he came in. While he was doing that, I was trying my hardest not to cry at my emotional pain.
I don't know what the fuck I was thinking by trusting him. This is probably why Fury treats me like a child- cause I make stupid ass decisions. Now, Jordyn and everyone else on my class trip is going to be dead soon if I don't act quickly.
"Ow." I wince at the needle.
"I thought you had super strength."
"It still hurts." I wince again. "Happy, come on."
"Alright, relax." He starts to go a little slower but I can still feel it.
"Oh my God, Happy-"
"Relax!"
"Don't tell me to relax!" I snap, banging my fist on the small table in front of me, causing it to shatter and I stand up. "How can I relax when I fucked up so bad? I trusted Beck. I thought he was my friend so I gave him the only thing that Mr Stark left for me and now he's going to kill my girlfriend and half of Europe. So please, do not tell me to relax."
I inhale sharply and take a few seconds to calm down. Instantly, I regret yelling at Happy because it gives me flashbacks of when I last yelled at Ben. He died a few hours later. I don't want the same thing to happen with Happy.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't shout." I say after taking a breather. "I just really miss him."
Happy takes his glasses of and sighs. "Yeah, I miss him too."
"The whole world is asking who's going to be the next Iron Man and..." I sniff. "I don't know if that's me, Happy. I'm not Iron Man."
"You're not Iron Man." Happy shakes his head. "You're never going to be Iron Man. Nobody could live up to Tony. Not even Tony. He was my best friend and he was a mess, he second guessed everything he did. The one thing he didn't second guess was choosing you. I don't think Tony would've done what he did if he didn't know you were going to be here after he was gone. Now your girlfriend's in trouble, you're all alone, your tech is missing. What are you going to do about it?"
I stand up, wiping the tears from my face. "I'm gonna kick his ass."
"I mean- I mean right now. Specifically, what are we gonna do?" Happy stammers. "'Cause we've been hovering over a tulip field for the last 15 minutes."
"Right." I run my hands through my hair. "I can't call my friends because he's tracking their phones. Uh...give me your phone."
Happy digs in his pocket and hands me the device and I switch it on.
