:Chapter Three:

"What is this for?" (Y/N) poked her chest, feeling the cool metal under her sports bra.

Tony wiped his hands, "Because your powers-"

(Y/N) raised her hand to stop him, "Please don't call them powers, they are a curse." she spoke quietly.

The genius nodded, "Because whatever those people put in you has surged through your body at an incredible rate, your heart has been silently under attack by it. Neither I nor Bruce knows what it is but we are trying to figure it out."

The young teenager stared in the mirror, watching as he skin healed itself around the new wound, "So, what does it do?"

"It's practically a deterrent. It's kind of like mine," Tony motioned to the light beaming from under his t-shirt, "But where mine keeps shrapnel from entering my heart, yours prevents whatever antibody they gave you from entering yours and instead changes it into something useful that your body can handle."

(Y/N) tapped at the small light coming from her chest. She had only been staying with the Avengers on the helicarrier for a week, and this was the first thing that Dr Banner had picked up on. He insisted on something needing to be done to protect (Y/N) from whatever was travelling through her veins - no one knew what it was.

"Do you think we'll ever find out what they put in me?" (Y/N) asked quietly. She was still new to socializing with others, but she was slowly starting to trust Tony. He was like a father figure to her already and she enjoyed learning about his robotics.

Tony looked at the vulnerable teenager sat near his desk, staring at her new chest piece. He hated this. He hated having the arc reactor in his own body, and he had to just install one into a young innocent girl who hadn't done anything wrong in her entire life.

"I don't know." he sighed walking before sitting down beside her, "But I promise I'll do whatever it takes to help you - you don't deserve any of this."

(Y/N) suddenly wrapped her arms around the genius, startling him slightly. He wasn't used to this affection from people but he wrapped his own arms around her to comfort her. "Thank you, Mr Stark."

"Hey, hold still, I need to get this bit of glass out of your stomach." Tony muttered, sending a playful glare at the teenager.

"But why! My body will heal on it's own!"

"Not if you keep that glass it won't. It'll become infected and then we'll have something bigger to deal with." The genius sighed.
