Ironman Set Free Part 2

A part 2 for the Ironman Set Free short.

Sam's Pov:

"It's over." I sighed and T'Challa looked at me.

"We won!" Shuri shouted and I chuckled then froze.

"Tony." I said the one word and saw T'Challa tense.

"Over there." Dr. Strange said and we followed his eyes to see the suit down and Spiderman clutching the armor.

"No." I said my heart sinking. I ran...I didn't even check to see if T'Challa was following but knew he was as I dropped next to the armor. "Tony!?" I choked and those brown eyes looked at me.

"Hey Sammy...Glad to see you...made it." He croaked.

"Are you...hurt?" I asked and he smiled sadly.

"Someone had to." Tony said and T'Challa dropped next to me.

"Ukatana?" T'Challa asked.

"Welcome back...pussycat." Tony said and reached out.

"Are you hurt?" T'Challa asked and I swallowed as Tony's eyes watered.

"I'm sorry." Tony said softly.

"Tony?" I asked and he smiled.

"Finally get to have a break." Tony said and my eyes widened...no...NO!

"Tony...what do you mean?" I asked and his blinks were growing slower.

"You two...watch out...for each other." Tony said and his eyes closed.

"Tony?" I asked but he didn't answer.

"Anthony!?" T'Challa asked and I made a choked noise as I fought the tears.

"I'm...sorry." Strange said looking at us.

"No...NO!" I sobbed and T'Challa pulled me into a hug fighting his emotions like he always did.

"I'm...not dead." We froze and looked at Tony shocked. "Feel like I am though." Tony croaked.

"Mr. Stark!?" Spiderman cried.

"How am I not dead?" Tony asked and Strange looked at him.

"Honestly...you should be...Hm...odd." Strange said.

"If I could move...I'd hit...you." Tony said.

"Maybe there was another Universe where this all happened and you lived." Strange said.

"Could someone get me to medical...or heal me?" Tony asked and I cried. I pulled him into a kiss and his eyes widened before his eyes closed as he accepted my kiss.

"Uh." Spiderman said and I pulled away.

"Shuri!" T'Challa shouted.

"You...Don't ever scare me like that again." I said and Tony smiled eyes going soft.

"I...I love you." Tony said and my eyes widened as I looked at him. "I love both of you assholes." Tony said and I let out a wet laugh.

"You said it." I said...Tony had been dancing around us forever...T'Challa and I both knew we had fallen for him. We tried to get with him but he always refused...We hated it...So close yet so far.

"Don't tell T'Challa." Tony said.

"I heard." T'Challa said with a chuckle.

"Shit." Tony said.

"Be ready to be mother henned like crazy." I said and Tony huffed.

"As bad as I feel...I'd enjoy it." Tony mumbled eyes starting to close.

"Hey...stay with us." I said and he made a hum.

"I didn't get my kiss." T'Challa said and Tony chuckled that turned into a cry of pain.

"Tony!?" I asked reaching out toward the chest plate.

"Don't...make me laugh...hurts." Tony said and Wong suddenly sat next to Peter.

"Strange sucks at healing." Wong said.

"I don't do magic." Tony mumbled.

"To bad." I said and Tony sighed and Wong's hands glowed. Tony let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.

T'Challa's Pov:

"Morning!" I groaned and so did Tony.

"How is he always up before the sun?" Tony asked.

"He's Satan." I said and Tony snorted.

"Well...Guess I'll just eat breakfast by myself then." Sam said and Tony shot up at the promise of food.

"Careful Ukatana..." I said still worried about the man.

"Ok mama kitty." Tony said and started walking away...My eyes locking on to the horrible scaring on his arm then the scar on his back right where his spine was...Wong had told us it had been shattered in two places...my eyes trailed up to the scar on his neck.

Wong said he should have been dead...but none of the nerves had been damaged...He had healed him right there saying it was critical because if we moved him we could damage his nervous possibly killing him. Strange had helped and had seemed just as shocked at Tony's survival then Loki had appeared. Loki had just scoffed saying something about no longer owing Tony anything.

"Pussycat!" I blinked and Tony was looking at me with a raised brow. "You off in your purple land or something?" He asked and I huffed.

"Yeah we need to feed out genius." Sam said and Tony sighed...We had been overbearing...well we still were but can you blame us?

"I'm up." I sighed.

"I made blue berry pancakes." Sam said and Tony's eyes brightened. "Also Bruce is here to visit and see how you are doing." Sam said and Tony all but ran out the door.

"I've never seen him move that fast this early." I said and Sam chuckled then frowned.

"You were looking again." Sam said.

"I just...keep waiting for me to wake up." I said.

"I...know." Sam sighed and I got up pulling him into a hug. "We almost lost him." Sam said.

"Never...never again." I said and Sam smiled.

"Well Ironman has retired." Sam said.

"I plan to keep him here and wrap him in bubble wrap." I said and Sam laughed.

"He'd pop it all." Sam said making me join in his laughter. "We should probably make sure he's not talked Bruce into blowing something up." Sam said and we both looked at each other before rushing down to find Tony talking to Bruce who looked relieved to see his friend up.

"So...How are you and Thor?" Tony asked wiggling his eyebrows and Bruce's eyes flickered green before he gave Tony a playful shove.

"Shut it." Bruce said and Tony smirked.

"Does it thunder outside when he c-" Bruce covered Tony's mouth face red as he looked at us. Tony had retired as Ironman and had been moving in slowly...Shuri had fell in love with Friday and Tony's bots. To think...we almost lost him.

Might be a part 3 in the future.
