All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 18

"This isn't what I expected when I agreed to this, Stark," (y/n) said as she sat on a lab table with her arms at her side and feet hanging off. Wires were connected to various parts of her body, mainly on her temples and fingers, but one on her back and over her heart as well.

After leaving her to consider his offer, Tony had been surprised when he'd come back three hours later to find that she had managed to free herself from the chair with one hand, and, instead of running, had chosen to sit in the folding chair. Not only had she accepted his offer, but she even agreed to negotiate any conditions he had in mind. After thirty minutes of bargaining, they'd come to an agreement, shaking hands for good measure. While (y/n) was free to roam the building, she had to have a tracker on her and be watched at all times, either by his AI system or a trusted associate. However, his reasons were more due to the (h/c) haired girl being a target rather than being a deadly assassin. On her end, (y/n) got her own room and was granted permission to use her powers, as well as the training facilities. Lastly, Tony was allowed to satisfy his curiosity and learn about her powers. Or, attempt to, at least. While he was more gifted in engineering and physical science, biological science tended to confuse him. However, Tony refused to pass up the chance after... recent events.

"I didn't get a chance to do this with Wa- Scarlet Witch," Tony explained as she looked at her scans that were showing up on the hologram screens in front of him. "She was a HYDRA experiment before she joined us. Know her?" he asked.

"I've heard of her, but she switched sides during Ultron. Didn't know much about her other than she had powers, and HYDRA had her locked up somewhere to be used as a gun," she said.

Tony nodded his head in response, and she watched as an image of her body sitting down on the table showed up. The image was a blue outline of herself with little detail, focusing mainly on her internal workings instead.

"Alright, so far so good. Lift your hand, please," he instructed.

(Y/n) did so before setting it back down at her side.

"Perfect... Let's see. Everything looks pretty good... Vitals are fine, obviously, blood pressure normal, you don't appear to have any health conditions... You have one of the healthiest- Where the hell are your hormones?" he exclaimed as he enlarged the body scan on his screen. His face scrunched up in a mix of slight worry and curiosity as he looked over it.

"It's fine, Stark, you can move on," (y/n) commented, causing his head to quickly face her.

"It's "fine"? Do ya care to elaborate?" he spoke.

"What you're seeing is normal-"

"Normal?! You have next to no levels of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins- I-is that normal?" he asked in disbelief. He stared at her with wide eyes as she stared back at him.

"Yes, it is for me," she answered him.

Despite her reassurance, Tony still stood there gaping like a fish, his head going through possible scenarios where more than half of her hormones weren't active. Sure, it was possible to have low amounts, but not completely have no trace of them. "How? Were you born like this? Cause this..." he said, standing back and gesturing to the brain and body scans with both his hands to emphasize his point. "This isn't normal," he told her.

"That information is classified," she said bluntly.

Tony clicked his tongue in irritation. That was another agreement. (Y/n) refused to give away any HYDRA secrets until she knew that they wouldn't double-cross her in any way. The information in her head was the only cards she had to play here in enemy territory. Protected or not, Stark wanted information, and she was the only source he had... even if she didn't actually have anything to give him. Despite growing up in a HYDRA base, she was never granted any valuable knowledge. She was born with powers, so her time in labs wasn't anything groundbreaking. She wasn't high enough in the hierarchy to have any information on other bases, operations, or important names. Hell, they didn't even tell her the location of her own base, much less the location of others. The information she did have was a map of her base, the meal schedules, and what times the showers were normally empty. She knew nothing that was of interest to them. They thought she did, that would be enough to ensure her safety until a better chance came along.
