Freedom
December 2009
Tony and Amy where in the cage for three month now. The suite was almost finished and Tony and Yinsen start the preparations for the escape.
Amy was feeling useless. She still can't feel her legs and she knew that it will stay like this. She's maybe is not a medical doctor, but she understands that this wasn't a good sign.
Tony try to ignore that his daughter can't work. He focused on his work and tried to not think about all this. Every morning he hoped that she can work again, it was unrealistic, but he didn't want to give up this hope.
-
The day of the escape doesn't work as planned. Yinsen doesn't act as planned, or not as Tony planned it. After Tony was finished he went back to grab Amy and fly out with her.
After a time the suit broke down and Tony tried to shield Amy from hitting the ground.
"We did it baby. We did it", said Tony happily.
"Yes", said Amy weak. She tried to stay awake as good as possible, but in the hot dessert it just doesn't work. She heard her father saying her name, but she just can't react anymore.
-
Tony tries to hold Amy up, but he hurt his arme and was getting weaker as well. But before he could give up a helicopter of the army shows up.
Before he knew it Rhodey was in front of him and take Amy out of his armes.
"Look after her back. It is broken", said Tony as he tried to help Rhodey getting up.
"I have her Tony. I have her."
-
Tony and Amy where bring back to the US, as fast as possible. Tony was feeling okay, but Amy wasn't that lucky. Since the fall on the ground wasn't she awake. The army doctors said it would be normal, but Tony had a bad feeling. She was extremely skinny and the reflexes test show that her lags still doesn't react to anything.
Back in the US there where in a hospital in New York.
Pepper, Peggy and the kids gets to it some hours later.
"Dad?", ask Peter weak as he saw his father.
"Peter," he said happy and get up from his place next to Amy to hug his son. He was finally home. After some minutes he let go of his son and hug his granddaughters. There where very quiet and look at there mothers form.
Finally he rejects Pepper and kiss her passionate, and hug his mother.
"I'm so happy to see you all", he said happy, as he starts to cry. There where so many moments he was sure he would never see any of them again.
"How is she", ask Pepper. Tony can see that she tried to be strong, but it was very difficult for her not to cry.
"I don't know yet, but as we were kidnapped she got her back hurt very bad. She can't move or feel her lags for the last three month. We will...we will see how bad it really is. The family sit down next to Amy's bed and stat to wait for the doctor.
-
After some hour's Amy's doctor show up.
"Mr. Statk, I'm doctor Strange, I'm here to talk about your daughter", he tired to play cool, but Strange was a little bit confused about the situation. He was told at the beginning that the woman would be Tony Starks assistant, thats what the media said as well, but Stark titled the young woman infront of the medial stuff as his daughter. So he looked it up and was shocked to found out that she was really his daughter. As he now went into jer room he also found two woman and three children at the bed of his patient. He wasn't sure, but the kids looked very alike. He was sure that there be relative with each other. So tjw playboy Tony Stark has a family?
Strange clean his thoughts and start talking again. "Qe should talk about this outside."
"No. We have no secrets. What can you tell us."
"The good thing is that her brain is okay. She should be wake up in the next hour. The bad thing is, that her back isn't the huge problem, it's her spine. She has multiple fractures there and we can't fix that. She is paraplegic. I'm sorry."
"Okay. What, what does that mean?"
"Ahe will never walk again, but if we ignore this she will be completed healthy again. She can still have a normal life", said Strange and leave the room.
Tony sit back into his sit with Peter in his lab. She's going to be okay. That was everything that was important in this moment. About the other tings there going to think later.
