We went to the closest kitchen and I sat down. Tony started getting stuff out of the cabinets and the fridge. He then started cooking on the grill.
"Wow, that smells nice." I said
"Oh trust me, you haven't even experienced the best part." He said
He finished cooking the cheeseburger and walked over to the table I was sitting at (which was sooo shiny like the whole kitchen was) and put it in front of me. He made one for himself too, and sat down across from me.
"Are you going to eat it or just stare at it?" He asked
"I will obviously eat it, I am just so... I don't know how to say this... none of this feels real." I said
"Trust me, once you taste it, you'll know it is real." Tony said sarcastically
I rolled my eyes playfully and took a bite. WOAH! TONY STARK CAN COOK!
"WOW MR. STARK!" I yelled with food in my mouth
"I told ya, kid!" He exclaimed
I loved the burger so much, but it was barely half way gone when I was really full.
"That was so good, thanks." I said
"What do you mean, you barely ate half of it?" He asked
"I am full." I said
"Well, I understand you are not used to eating this much, but I am forcing you to eat the rest for your own good." He told me
"Well, if you insist."
I ate the rest of it, and I have never felt so full in my life.
"Here you go!" Tony said
He gave me a small milkshake, which looked delicious.
"Oh Mr. Stark... it looks so delicious! I'm just so full-"
"I know, Gracie, but if you don't eat enough food you can get really sick and it will damage your body, I am helping you get stronger." He said
"Well, if you put it that way." I said
I took sips, and it was the sweetest thing I ever tasted. Who knew chocolate milkshakes were so good. As I kept trying to drink it, which was really hard because of how full I was.
"I'm sorry, I can't finish it. The truth is, I was fed every other day when I am good, and it is normally a gross teeny plain sandwich that is a quarter of the size of that burger they gave me. I also have to earn my water, by going on missions... I mean... never mind."
"Wow, th- wait... did you say mission? What kind of mission?" Tony asked
"I didn't mean to say mission. I said never mind." I said
"Well, if you want to tell me, please do. Oh, I'm getting a call, hold on." Tony said
"Hello?" said Tony
"Hello, this is Dr. Cho. Are you ready for me?"
"Yeah, we're ready." Tony said
"Okay, see you then!"
The call ended, and Mr. Stark put up his high-tech phone.
"That was Dr. Cho, she is really nice, she is going to come here in a few minutes and then she is going to ask you some easy questions and stuff like that. Okay?" Tony said
"Uh, sure I guess." I said
Steve already told me about this I think, and I don't like doctors personally. I like Dr. Banner, because he was nice and he helped me, but I guess I am just biased. At Hydra, the doctors were literally demons, but I guess that was because it was Hydra. After all, the people are nice here, so far.
We headed down to that makeshift hospital room, and I sat on the soft bed and waited there. A few minutes later, there was a knock, and a lady with dark hair came in. Tony and her talked for a bit, about me, which was awkward.
Tony waved to me, and left the room.
"Bye kid!"
I instantly got kinda nervous.
"Hello Gracie! My name is Dr. Cho! I've heard a bit about you. You must be glad to not be with Hydra anymore, right?"
"Yeah, I hate them."
She wrote something down like every time I said something.
"So, do you like it here with the Avengers so far?"
"Yeah, it's really cool. They are so nice." I told her
She kept asking questions like that until a bit later.
"What is your goal? Who or what do you want to be?"
"Well, I have always wanted to be normal. I don't really know what it looks like, but I want to be like other... I forgot... oh yeah, teenagers. I have never met one." I said
She looked a bit shocked and wrote down more stuff.
"Okay, well, there is one more question I need to ask you. Mr. Stark told me you were not very comfortable talking about this. Do you really have any special powers or abilities?" Dr. Cho asked
"Uuh, well, I, umm, no, I don't." I said
I hate it when people bring this up. I don't want to tell them because I might get taken away.
"Sweet heart, I can tell there is something you are hiding. Please tell me! You can trust me!" She told me
"Sorry, not today." I told her
"That's alright for now, but please don't keep it a secret forever. Now it is time for your physical exam."
She did a normal, what she called "well check" on me and thought I was so unhealthy.
"Okay, lets see how much you weigh!"
I stepped on the scale and just stood there.
"Oh... oh my. Honey, you are 13, right?" She asked
"Uh, yeah." I said
"You are quite underweight, you are 56 pounds. I understand your circumstances though. I would highly recommend eating plenty more food, even if you feel very full."
"Alright, yeah, everyone keeps saying that."
"You are 4 feet, 5 inches. That is also undersized, but that's okay!"
"K."
She talked to me about something called puberty I think, and I'll admit, it was awkward. She said Hydra must have done something to stunt my growth, and it did sound a bit familiar. I am not sure why though.
Next she took X-rays of my supposedly broken ribs.
"Oh my gosh! I bet you are glad Mr. Stark and Dr. Banner put you on strong pain killers, because your ribs are in bad shape. How many times have you broken them?" She asked
"I- uh- I can't really count to be honest."
She looked very concerned. She seemed to be concerned about everything about me.
She put a very high tech metal machine on my chest.
"This is from Wakanda. A very good friend of mine made it for me. It can help reconstruct your ribs, but it may hurt. I will give you anesthetics, so you won't feel anything."
"So will I be able to run and stuff after this fixes me?"
"Not immediately, you'll need to heal for a day.
At first I was really nervous, but after she gave me the anesthesia, I felt no pain. I actually felt... like singing!!
"OOoOoOooooOoO, LIVIN' ON A PRAYER...!!!" I sang
I could see the look on Dr. Cho's face. She was trying not to bust out laughing.
"WhAt?!" I asked
"Nothing!" She said
I then got tired and fell asleep.
