That Magic Heart(Iron Strange) Fanfic Book 2

Chapter 15 You are my Heart

Stephen's Pov:

"There you are," I said as Anthony walked in.

"Sorry...I passed out after I got here." Anthony said.

"Understandable...Just get over here please." I said scooting over and Anthony raised a brow. He laid next to me and I brushed his hair out of his eyes...He's here...He's alive.

"I thought for sure I had lost you...that glave," I said.

"I know...I only survived cause of Esselia." Anthony said looking at me.

"Th-The reactor is gone," I said feeling a tightness in my throat.

"I know...the case is still in there so...yeah. I need to reopen this and either put a new reactor in it or open it and pull out the leftovers." Anthony said.

"I do not like either of those ideas," I said.

"Why?" Anthony asked looking at me.

"Anthony I do not think I can handle seeing a hole in your chest again," I said and Anthony nodded kissing my lips.

"I'm ok," Anthony said and I let my hands shakily hold his cheek. I kissed Anthony and he kissed me back as we laid on the hospital bed.

"You're ok," I said and Anthony nodded.

"You're ok," Anthony said looking at me. After a while, Anthony fell asleep and I looked at him worriedly looking at his pale body...He's probably just drained. My mind flashed back to Anthony being stabbed through the chest. How his eyes had gone wide in surprise before they locked on to mine and blood came out of his mouth as the glade was pulled from his chest. How when I was being dragged away his eyes had gone dark with no light in them and how the brown had become black. I closed my eyes trying to will the images away then opened them looking at Anthony. Esselia had kept him alive and even brought him back...She was definitely a powerful artifact.

"Thank you," I said looking at Esselia and the little snake glowed a pink at me as she slithered to Anthony's chest. She circled around where the reactor had been her eyes closing as she bit her tail and started to glow the light blue of the reactor. Anthony groaned and his head tilted toward me so it was resting on my shoulder. I rested my head on his and let my eyes slip close...He's ok.

Tony's Pov:

I startled awake, not sure why...Until I heard the quiet chocked off sob next to me and looked at Steph that was trying to calm himself down. I reached out slowly and saw his eyes catch the movement before looking into my eyes. I reached out for him and he nodded as I pulled him into a side hug.

"You're ok," I whispered.

"Anthony...I'm sorry..." Steph said.

"Hey, how many times have I woke you up with my nightmares? It's fine Steph." I said kissing his cheek and he pulled me into a very passionate kiss surprising me.

"I love you," Steph said.

"I love you too," I said and Steph was kissing me again.

"Anthony...You are invited to the wedding." Steph said.

"What wedding?" I asked confused...Were T'Challa and Sam getting married? Steph was kissing me again and I groaned because this was about to turn into hospital sex.

"You are to be the groom," Steph said and I looked confused until it clicked...

"St-Steph are you asking me to marry you?" I asked stunned.

"Yes," Steph said and I felt myself grinning like an idiot.

"Smooth way of doing it," I said.

"I thought the whole one knee thing was overplayed," Steph said and I chuckled.

"Yes," I said.

"Yes?"

"Yes," I repeated and Steph was kissing me again until Steph gasped in pain making us pull apart.

"I don't know what I'd do without you...You are my heart, Anthony..." Steph said and my face flushed.

"I love you too," I said smiling and kissing him gently when I felt magic surge and Steph gasped pulling away. "Shit, What did I do?" I asked and Steph pulled up his shirt and pulled his bandage off...The wound was closed as small little tracks of arc reactor blue faded from where it had been.

"You healed me," Steph said.

"I...did," I said.

"You and your growing magic abilities." Steph huffed.

"They are mostly supportive...Unlike you." I said.

"Still...That beautiful magic heart of yours." Steph said placing a finger against where the reactor had been and we both froze when we saw the reactor there again...

"I didn't do that," I said and noticed it had changed...There was a circle in the middle cradling the stone as the light blue swirled around it and a small divet of metal around it like something could go inside. It also didn't feel as heavy or like I was suffocating.

"It's different," Steph said.

"Wait Esselia did you do this?" I asked looking at the snake on my wrist and one of her eyes closed in a wink...Well fuck...

"Now, where were we?" Steph purred.

"Wow...I'm surprised you want to continue in the hospital," I said.

"Point...Light making out will have to do." Steph said pulling me into him and I groaned as our lips touched again. We jumped apart when there was a knock at the door...Christine poked her in surprising me.

"Christine?" Steph asked.

"Hey...Just came to check on you." Christine said and then smiled at me. "Hi, Tony," Christine said.

"Hey, how'd you get here?" I asked.

"This is kind of my second job," Christine said.

"You work for Shield?" Steph asked.

"Kind of...I still work at the hospital." Christine said walking in.

"Good to see you...Last times we met weren't pretty." I said.

"I was told a lot happened...I swear Stark if you almost die one more time I will bring you back to life so I can kill you again." Christine said.

"I only died for like...10 minutes," I said.

"That's still dying! You've probably shortened Stephen's life by another 10 years." Christine said.

Peter's Pov:

"So..." I said looking at Wade...Well, Deadpool. We were sitting in a Mexican Restaurant that had been near the battle but only had minimal damage.

"I know the author needs to make more fluff...I love fluff...Hate that she made me 16 though but hey that means I get to start dating you early." Wade said.

"Wait...Dating?" I asked.

"Yes...If that's ok." Wade said.

"Yeah...Yeah, it is." I said smiling.

Bruce's Pov:

I startled awake and blinked...I looked around and realized I was in Medical...I groaned at the head splitting headache and closed my eyes. What hit me?

"Bruce?" I looked at the doorway and saw Loki in civilian clothes.

"Loki? What happened?" I asked and Loki moved quickly over to me. He scanned me then grabbed the front of my hospital gown and jerking me forward as he kissed me hard. My eyes widened before closing as I enjoyed the kiss.

"You saved my life," Loki said pulling away.

"I...did?" I asked then winced at my head. Loki put each of his hands at my temples and they started to glow a goldish color.

"Yes," Loki said.

"Oh," I said.

"Thor is resting but once I'm finished healing you we should be able to go see him," Loki said and I hummed. Loki pressed a cool kiss to my forehead making me sigh.
