His Iron Heart - Tony Stark x Reader

32 - It's Okay

Y/n shot up in bed when she felt sudden movements from the man lying beside her. Tony was jolting in bed and letting out sounds which sounded almost to be more muted screams. The agent moved toward the man and placed her hand on his arm, "Tony, baby." Upon not hearing a response, the girl began to shake his arm as he continued to whimper, "Tony." No response, "Tony! Hey, Honey, wake up!"

A metal clunk sounded from behind her and Y/n turned around only to freeze at the sight of a repulsor being pointed in her face. She swallowed hard and lifted her hands slowly, "Power down."

Her eyes widened in fear when the suit did not respond to her command and instead the sound of the repulsor powering up was heard. She sucked in a shaky breath and squeezed her eyes shut only to hear Tony speak, "Power down!" She turned to look at him as he stepped on the bed and hit the chest of the suit in a diagonal motion, causing it to fall apart onto the ground.

The lights in the room slowly turned on and Tony and Y/n both took a moment to catch their breaths. Tony got off the bed and leaned down, placing his hands on his knees as Y/n fell back on the bed.

"I must have called it in my sleep." The man's voice is strained and tired. "That's not supposed to happen. I'll recalibrate the sensors... Can we just... Just let me..." He watched the woman as she sat up on the bed, "Just let me catch my breath." She ran her hands down her face before standing. "Hey don't... Don't go. All right? Y/n..."

She walked around the edge of the bed to stop and stand in front of him. "Now, why would I leave?" Y/n pulled his body toward hers and wrapped her arms around his torso as he buried his face in her neck. "Hey, hey, it's okay." Y/n gently whispered in his ear as she felt him shudder under her hold.

She pulled away from him and held his shoulders at arms length, "The suit protected you. So we know the technology is working." The woman let out a breathy chuckle, "You really need to let me have access to those systems though." He sighed and let his head fall back, a broken laugh escaping his lips.

Y/n slid her hands down his shoulders to take his and hold them tightly. "Come on. Let's go lie down. Try to get you back to sleep." She pulled him toward the bed and lied down, pulling him so he was resting her head on her chest. He wrapped his arms around her and intertwined their legs together.

Running her hands through his hair, Y/n scratched his scalp gently and smiled softly as she heard him sigh and relax into her. She continued her actions until his breathing leveled out and finally allowed herself to drift off to sleep.
