Wednesday September 16, 2015. The stark residence. 8:30 p.m. Tony's bedroom.

Tony:

Howard walked into the room and found Tony, Bruce, Loki and Bucky giggling.
"So I take it that the special needs center,  was a success today?" Howard asked.

"It was papi!" Tony smiled.

"Good. You had fun?" Howard asked.
"Very much. We made new friends with the other volunteers." Bruce smiled.

"Yeah? Maybe you should invite them over sometime." Howard smiled.

"If they want too." Tony smiled

"Guys I need to talk to Tony for a few can you excuse us for a minute." Howard asked.

Bruce Loki and Bucky nodded and walked out of the room.

"You haven't taken your pills in 14 days mija, why not?" Howard asked Tony looked down in shame.

"I'm not mad mija I just want to know why you don't want to take them anymore. Do  they make you sadder? Does it make you feel funny?" Howard asked

"I can't do stuff like before..." Tony whispered. "My brain is my life and I'm still a genius with the pills. But I don't like how my mind just stays in one place for too long."

"Antonia, I found you in the bathtub with your wrist slit." Howard spoke. "I need a better reason for you wanting to go off your meds."

"I'm better now." Tony whispered.

"Without the pills you aren't. You have a disorder mija. A really serious disorder, and you are a harm and danger to yourself without medication. Me entiendes. Now if you don't like the medicine, we can try another."

"Please? Papi i dont like taking them I don't like being different." Tony sniffled.

"Either these pills, or new ones Antonia. Take your pick but you are staying on some form of medicine." Howard said.

"But why!" Tony cried.

"Because i said so!" Howard semi shouted.

"That's not good enough!" Tony shouted back.

"Excuse me!" Howard asked. He was flabbergasted.

"You are excused, I'm not putting anymore of those stupid poisonous cocktails in my body." Tony crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly.

"Okay you don't have to take your medicine. But you are grounded until you have a change of heart. After tonight no friends are allowed over, you are only allowed to go to school and the special needs center. I won't take your phone or laptop, but I can restrict your access to the lab. If you don't want to take your medicine, it comes with a price. You get no privacy you shower with the door open, every single disposable razor is getting removed from your bathroom. You want to shave you tell your mom and she will monitor you. Every rope, belt or anything that can be used to harm yourself in any way is getting removed from this bedroom." Howard stood firmly.

"Fine!" Tony shrieked.

"Okay." Howard spoke. "Jarvis!"
