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

22

You sat in the bathroom holding your head on top of your knees, crying. You were scared. You knew Tony would never hurt you, but something in you just snapped, you felt in danger, scared. Please don't hurt me. Ill be good. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.  Was all you could mumble to yourself while Tony and Peter listened from the outside. 'I'm so sorry Mouse. I didn't mean it. Please. Tony said in his head over and over again as he walked around the hotel room. When there was a knock at the door. Peter went to open it and saw Steve and Pepper on the side. "Tony!" Pepper said almost yelling as she threw her arms over Tony and hugged him. "I'm missed you too Pep." Tony says hugging back. "So where is she?" Pepper asked with enthusiasm. Tony looked at his feet and fell to his knees, as he put his head on Peppers lower abdomen. "I fucked up Pepper. What do I do." Tony said with a strained voice. "Tony?" Pepper asked. "What did you do!" she said starting to worry. "I-I scared her Pepper. I was supposed to protect her, be there for her, tell her everything is 'ok' and didn't. She's been through so much, and for me to just jerk it all away from her in 2 seconds....I....I have never seen her smile so bright and laugh the way she does ever. And...and I made her cry...I mad her cry Pepper. She's scared........of me." Tony said hugging Pepper tighter as hot tears start to run down his face, while Steve stood in the door way and watched everything unfold. "T-tony?" Peper said helping him to his feet. "I know your not going to want to hear this. But it has to be said....You are her father. And you need to man the hell up and tell her how important she is to you, how much you love her, how much you are willing to do for her. And getting mad at her and yelling isn't going to help. You have to show her that she can trust you. She is broken...hurt. You need to help her heal.....not brake her anymore more then she already is. You need to be the father she never had." Pepper said as Tony looked at the bathroom door and back at Pepper. "T-thank you Pepper." Tony said as he kissed Pepper on the cheek and went over to the bathroom door, and knocked. "Mouse? C-can I come in?" Tony said never being this nervous before in his entire life. Your breathing started to quicken and you started to rock back and forth. Remembering how your real father used to brake down the door. "M-mouse, sweetheart? I just want to talk to you." Tony said as he put his head on the door. You unlocked the door and Tony opened it, finding you in the corner with blood red puffy eyes, and a red face. "(Y-y/n)?" Tony said as he lowered himself to where he was looking you in the eyes. "I-I'm so s-sorry?" Tony said as he started to tear up. "I'm sorry I did that to you. You mean more to me then anything in the world. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you. I'm so so sorry sweetheart." Tony said slowly getting closer to you.
You looked at him and flinched when he went to move your hair. Tony then lit his hands on the ground and started to cry while saying."I'm an idiot. I'm supposed to protect you, and keep you safe. And I can't even do that. I'm sorry. You're my everything, and I've done more harm then good."
You look at Tony and put your shaking hand on his cheek.
"D-dad?" you said in a tight voice. Tony put his hand on yours and said. "I'm right here Mouse. I'm right here."
You then sprung up and tackled Tony in a hug while crying on his chest saying,"I love you dad! Please don't leave me!" Tony was taken back at what you had said. "I'm not going anywhere sweetheart. I'm right here." Tony said as he rubbed your back and head as you cried. "Ill never do that again. I promise." Tony added as he helped you up, while you were still hugging him.
Once things calmed down you and Tony walked out of the bathroom and was welcomed by an annoyed looking Steve Rogers, an over joyed Pepper, and a kind looking Peter. After you said 'hi' to Pepper, you walked over to Peter and hugged him. "Thank you for not leaving." you told him. "I would even think about it." He told you as he kissed your red hot cheeks and then then your lips. You sat down on the bed next to Pepet and looked at Steve, wondering why he was here. "Steve? Do you have my bag?" Tony asked as Steve gave Tony a brown and blue bag. "Thank you." Tony said as he took the bag from Steve and opened it, revealing multiple doctor tools, and science notes. After Tony was done looking at the items inside the bag, he walked over to Steve. "You don't how much I needed this. Thank you." Tony said with extreme sincerity. "No problem." Steve said giving Tony a little smile. "Are we on good terms?" Tony asked while shrugging one shoulder. "Yea. Were good." Steve said as he shook Tonys hand and added. "I better get going. Fury might need me." before he left. 'That was wierd' you said in your head as you looked over at the doctor supplies and notes in the bag. From the corner of your eye you saw the lady with blonde hair walking over to you. "You must be (y/n)? Tony always talks about you. I'm Pepper." she said as you shook her hand and smiled.

'I don't know why but, I like her' you said in your head.........'is this dads girlfriend?'
