I'm not that bad.(Tony Stark x Adoptive Reader)

13

"Damn!" Tony practically yelled. All you could do was sit there and watch. "How long ago was this?" Tony asked in a calm, frustrated voice. "About, 2 weeks before I escaped." You tell Tony trying to avoid eye contact. Eye contact, it always made you feel weird, like you were being talked down to. "Its fine. Im fine." you tell Tony trying to get him to calm down. "No its not." he says while messing with a rubber band.(look at gif) "(Y/n)." he said while putting the rubber band down, and it made you look up at Tony as he said your name. "Can you show me please?" He asked while putting both of his elbows on the couch cushion and placing his chin on top. Your throat seemed to tighten so all you did was nod. You stand up and look over at Tony. "Do you by any chance have a pair of shorts I can wear?" you ask sheepishly. Tony let out a soft small giggle and nodded his head as he walked into the other room to find a pair of shorts. When he came back he handed you a pair of blue medical shorts. "Sorry, these are all I have on this floor, and I didn't want to take the elevator." You took the shorts and went to change in the bathroom. When you got back you notices Tony had medical scissors, thread, a scalpel and various other items. You stoped when you got to the couch and swallowed the lump in your throat. 'PLEASE DONT ME! PLEASE DONT HURT ME!' you yelled in your head, over and over again. Even though you knew Tony would never do that, you were still scared. Tony patted a spot on the couch for you to sit down. When you did, Tony couldn't stop starring at the 25 inch (63.5 cm) scare running from the the side of your knee to the center of your hip. The scare was surrounded by blue, purple, yellow and black bruises, followed by what seemed to be white thread but was now green, yellow and black. Just the sight of how gruesome and painful it looked was enough to make Tony gag. He took his medical scissors and was about to cut the thread just before you kicked the scissors out of his hand and raised your fist, while the other hand was in a fist, resting on your chest. "I'm not gonna hurt you (y/n). I promise." Tony said as he raised his hands to show you he had nothing in them. "I know you don't like this. And I'm so sorry. But its the only way for it to heal properly." Tony added as you lowered your hands. "Im s-so s-sorry" you say trembling. "Hey. Its ok." Tony said in a soothing voice as he kissed the top of your head. "Let me fix this. And then we can run a few painless tests to see what's wrong with your powers." Tony said as he picked up his scissors and looked at you for permission to resume. You nod your head and look away. Tony cut the thread and as he was taking out the thread from you leg he sees you squeezing your face in pain. Tony looked at you and back at your leg with an aching heart. 'I wish I could take the pain away sweetheart, I really wish I could.' Tony said in his head as he kept pulling the thread slowly and gently.
(Gore warning)

When he took all the thread out he absolutely repulsed by it. The string wasn't even white anymore, it was yellow with a greenish black tint. When he looked down at your leg it was twitching and oozing yellowish-black liquid.

(End of gore)

"Could you put your legs next to each other, so I can compare them?" He asks you, and you did as you were told. The right leg, that had the scare, was huge compared to your other leg. "Sweetheart?" Tony said to get your attention. "I know it hurts, but it hurts me to see you in this much pain....*sigh*...I want to know if you will let me put you under anesthesia so it won't hurt you?" Tony said while looking into your eyes. "I hate to see you in pain. And ill try to make it go away. Ok? Ill try my best my little Mouse." Tony said as his throat tightened and he pulled you into a hug. You look at Tony, about to cry and nod your head, he carries you to his lab and lays you down on the operating table. "I know how to do this, don't worry." You tell Tony right before you take a big inhale of anesthesia, and were asleep. It took Tony about 3 to 4 hours to properly fix, clean, and heal your leg. You woke up about 45 minutes to an hour after Tony had finished. You sit up straight with some help from Tony and look at your leg. The bruising was still there but it was lighter, and less painful. And the actual gash in your leg was sutured the correct way. You look at Tony who has tears in his eyes and he asks you, "How do you feel?"
You responded by bear hugging him and telling him 'thank you' over and over again. You went to stand up before Tony stoped you. "You need to lay down and rest, you don't want to hurt yourself anymore." He said as he was about to leave the room before you yelled, "Dad?! Could you please stay in here with me?" your anxiety showing a little. "Of course." Tony said as he walked to a chair that was by the operating table. "(Y/n)?" Tony called with a sad look on his face. "Yeah?" you answer back. "I ran some tests...and.." Tony paused. "And what?!" you said terrified. "Your powers are going to keep getting more powerful until it destroys you,...unless you can control them with complete perfection or.....get rid of them completely." Tony says while looking at you. You couldn't even speak all you could do was sit there in complete silence until Tony's phone went off. "I'm so sorry Mouse. Its Pepper. Hold on." Tony says as he answers his phone.
"Hold on. Calm down.
What?!
They can't be here!
At the tower?
Thank god!
Yea she's fine.
I can't tell her Pepper!
*sigh* Ill try my best to explain."
This was the only thing you heard while Tony was on the phone. When he was done he put his phone in his back pocket and walked over to you. "Is everything ok, dad?" you ask while holding a pillow. "No." he says flatly. "S.h.i.e.l.d. is looking for us." Tony says while texting Pepper extremely fast. "You stay here, Ill go pack us some bags." Tony says as he about to run out the door. "Dad! Wait!" you yell extending your arm as you yell. "Yes?" He replies as he pokes his head through the door way. "Are we in trouble?" you ask, showing your scared childish side for the first time in years. Tony looks you dead in the eyes and said:

"Not if I have anything to say about it."
