Bruce's POV

The room went quiet as I instructed Steve and we finally got Tony stabilized until they can get back so I can perform the surgery I know he will need along side doctor Dulce Gutierrez, the leading trauma doctor in the country on her way here right now.

Tony looked so still and I felt my heart ache.

Please, don't let Tony go. We need him.

Celine needs him.

"Thank you." Steve says and nods at Tony letting out a heavy breath.

"Please let me know if anything happens." I ask and gulp the fear deep inside my stomach.

Steve takes Tony's hand and presses it against his chest with a tear going down his cheek before I hang up.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to find Celine with her eyes wide at the screen and tears dripping down her face with the most hurt I have ever seen in her caramel eyes. Clint is behind her holding her up by the waist and against his side when her body slacks. She looks suddenly so weak.

"Celine, we have to get you to rest." I say using her other arm to help Clint lay her down gently but she just weeps silently and Clint mutters something under his breath and then against her temple as he makes himself comfortable in a chair with his face next to her ear. continuing his soft whispers.

"I promise he's going to be okay but you have to be strong because our baby still needs you..." He whispers and I see Thor and Natasha take her other side, Nat sitting on Thor's lap, his arm rubbing up and down her back in soothing motions, as they both reach for Celine who just weeps silently looking up at the ceiling with almost no movement and a deeply hurt look.

I can't do anything but wait. My whole world is crashing around me and I can't do shit about it. I can't even comfort the one person in this world who needs me the most right now because my heart is having trouble not breaking for my friend.

Tony is my best friend. Seeing him lay like that makes the Hulk rage inside of me with anger and anguish but I keep him in easily as he knows now there's not much for us to do about it.

I got up and took the tablet from my desk and looked at what the scanning machine had done on Celine and she is in perfect health and so is the baby. But the trauma...

I look over at her and find she has turned slightly to Clint who is still whispering into her ear and she is nodding at him. I am so happy he is here right now because I feel so useless. He nods at me and I nod back.

"Our soulmate and the baby are in good health and she is now seven weeks pregnant." I smile at Clint who turns to her with wide eyes.

"You hear that, sugar?" He says louder now and Celine smiles but the hurt she feels in her chest for Tony is affecting all of us because we feel her hurt too. "Only thirty three weeks to go!" He smiles at her and she nods with a weak smile and he kisses her, then her hand awhile moving the hair from her face to kiss her cheeks and nose then lips.

Celine nods and Clint begins whispering again. I stay glued to the spot watching Tony lay still through the feed on my tablet, very still in the quinjet with Steve kneeling next to him and look over at the vitals for him then Sharon on the tablet in my hands.

Sharon seems to be dehydrated and a bullet wound that thankfully doesn't have internal bleeding like Tony does. She is stable and we will probably send her back to the new Shield HQ when Friday gives us the readings we need to transport her.
