Pain Is Power

33: Level 4

"Locating Suit 302, Ironman, Tony Stark." I hold my breath, this is the furthest I have gotten. I've managed to remotely fix the damage to dads suit through our system. It felt like it was taking forever. "Come on, come on," I mumbled to myself. "Located Suit 302, Ironman, Tony Stark." "YES!" I jumped up from my chair spinning across the lab. "Where." I typed on the computer quickly trying to get it to download fast. Two weeks my dad has officially been missing two weeks making it nearly a month since I had seen him. "please." "System failed." "NO!" I swiped off everything. 

"Amelia?" "I can't find him, Peter!" He wrapped his arms around me. "Friday, Run location for Suit 302, Ironman, Tony Stark," I say after taking a breath and shrugging him off. "Amelia." "I got this, it's connecting the serve just needs time to adjust," I say firmly going back over and using Friday's tech to bring up the tabs I had open before I lost my temper. "Locating Suit 302, Ironman, Tony Stark... Connecting."

"Incoming video call..." "Friday get everyone in here." I walked over to the main screen and pulled open the video call tab, it just kept connecting and connecting and connecting. Everyone came in one after another and we waited. 

"Dad?" I say when it connected. "Mimi, I'm okay." "Oh my gosh, Dad." He looked pretty beaten up. "Where are you?" Peppa asked him. They spoke but I was just in shock looking at him he was okay he was alive. "we're sending help Tony, we'll be with you soon." I closed my eyes blocking out a million thoughts that were running around my head. Not just my thoughts everyone's. 

"Listen to me." Natty whispers, I pushed my head against her chest listening to her heartbeat it was steady and regular keeping everyone's thoughts out of my head. "Agent Stark?" I pulled away and looked at him keeping my face strong. "You did well Agent Stark... We couldn't have located him without your help." "Just bring my dad home." "We plan on it." I smiled at him.

"DADDY!" I ran to him as he limped off of the jet my body slammed against him and he didn't flinch at the pain I probably caused him he just held onto me tightly, I buried my head in his chest. I felt him pepper my head with kisses as he held me close. "I thought you were dead." I sobbed out, being back in his arms feeling safe again. I hadn't realised how vulnerable I had felt with him being gone all this time. He always kept me safe and without him here I felt alone. I listened to his heartbeat counting it taking it in, he was alive and I was safe. Morgan had her dad and everything was right in our little world again.

I couldn't let go of him scared this was all a dream and I was in my room alone without him down the hall next to Morgan's room. "Kid-"Let her be." I hear dad say still holding me. At this moment I never wanted to let go of him, he was my whole world and I didn't want to live without him. Not again I couldn't. I wouldn't survive it not without Pips too. 

I eventually let go of him and Bruce took him to medical to be checked over. Thor handed me the cases with my dads suit in it. "It's going to need some serious TLC." I nodded. "On it." "No, no you're not." Peppa took it from me. "I'm fine." She gave me the mum look where if I carried on she'd lecture me about how I've not been sleeping and how I need to take care of myself with a list of other reasons regarding why I shouldn't be working right now. "I would like you to go and relax now please." She tells me seriously. "Mimi, you've been working hard for weeks, you've made you're self ill from the stress and anxiety, please rest, two days no work-related business. No lab, or tech, no mission reports or briefings, no HQ trips nothing." 

"I hope there's one exception." Fury said and she then shot him the warning mum look. "It's a good thing." He held his hands up. "Then you're relaxing." "Yes, Ma'am," I say nodding my head. She walked away I assume to go see my dad. Morgan was at school, Peter stayed home, we tried to keep consistency for Morgan meaning she only got a day off when she was ill or we were travelling for work.
