Sorry for the long wait
Tony's mind raced as he stood in the sterile hospital corridor, the weight of guilt pressing upon him. The distant sound of machines and footsteps echoed through the halls, a dissonant symphony to his troubled thoughts.
Filling out the paperwork, Tony's pen hesitated over each line, the gravity of the situation sinking in. The doctor's words echoed in his mind: "She's abused by her aunt." Tony felt a surge of anger towards Aunt Lucy, but beneath it, a deeper concern for Yn's well-being.
As the minutes crawled by, Tony found himself pacing the hospital floor, replaying the events that led him to this moment. The image of Yn, battered and broken, haunted him. His thoughts swirled with self-doubt, questioning if he could have intervened sooner.
Natasha and the team arrived, ensuring Aunt Lucy didn't escape justice. Yet, amidst the chaos, Tony's focus remained on the surgery room, where Yn fought for her life. The vulnerability of the situation struck a chord in Tony, a man accustomed to confronting powerful adversaries but now facing the helplessness of a guardian.
The moments passed like an eternity until a weary doctor emerged, his expression bearing both weariness and relief. "She's stable," he said, the words acting as a balm to Tony's worried soul. "We managed to address the immediate injuries. She'll need time to recover."
Relief washed over Tony, but it mingled with a newfound sense of responsibility. The doctor handed Tony a visitor's pass, and he made his way to Yn's room. Seeing her lying there, fragile yet resilient, stirred something within Tony – a connection that went beyond the suit and the genius inventor.
As Tony watched over Yn, the notion of being a father resurfaced. It wasn't about being "good enough"; it was about being there when it mattered. The journey ahead was uncertain, but in that hospital room, Tony Stark found a new purpose – a determination to shield Yn from the shadows that had plagued her life.

The hospital room was hushed, filled only with the soft hum of machines and the rhythmic beeping of monitors. Tony sat by Yn's bedside, his gaze fixed on her sleeping form. Tubes and wires connected her to various medical apparatus, evidence of the battle she had faced.
As Yn stirred, awakening to the sterile surroundings, her eyes met Tony's. There was a moment of recognition, and then a flicker of vulnerability. Tony offered a reassuring smile, a silent promise of protection.
"How are you feeling?" Tony asked, his voice gentle. Yn managed a weak smile, a mixture of pain and gratitude reflected in her eyes. The weight of her ordeal lingered, but so did a newfound sense of security.
Over the next few days, Tony became a constant presence in Yn's life – a guardian determined to shield her from the shadows that had haunted her. The hospital became a refuge, a place of healing both physically and emotionally.
In the quiet moments between medical check-ups, Tony and Yn found solace in shared conversations. Tony learned about Yn's dreams and aspirations, discovering the resilience that had carried her through the darkest of times. Yn, in turn, found a confidant in Tony, someone who listened without judgment.
Outside the hospital walls, legal proceedings unfolded against Aunt Lucy. Natasha and the team ensured that justice would be served, holding Lucy accountable for the pain she had inflicted upon Yn.
As Yn's strength returned, so did her spirit. With each passing day, the hospital room transformed from a sanctuary of recovery to a space where a tentative bond between Tony and Yn blossomed.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting warm hues across the city, Tony broached a delicate subject. "Yn," he began, "I've been thinking. Would you consider... maybe, I don't know, staying with me? A safe place where you can rebuild, heal, and, well, have a shot at being a kid."
Yn's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and gratitude. The prospect of a stable home, free from the shadows of abuse, seemed almost too good to be true. Yet, in Tony's genuine offer, she found a glimmer of hope.
"I'd like that," Yn replied, a small but genuine smile gracing her lips. In that moment, a pact was made – a commitment to move forward, leaving the scars of the past behind.
As Yn prepared to leave the hospital, Tony stood by her side, a newfound fatherly determination etched on his face. The road to recovery stretched ahead, uncertain yet filled with possibilities. Together, Tony Stark and Yn embarked on a journey of healing, rewriting the narrative of a past haunted by abuse into a future shaped by resilience and compassion.
