Prologue: My Life Before My Fate
When I was a little girl, I never knew my real parents, I was an orphan at birth. But I always wondered my parents abandon me, did they love me, did they even want me? I was never able to find those answers. But I was passed through foster parents because they didn't like the way I looked. My star white hair, my gleaming blue eyes, they felt intimated by my appearance, this made me become shy and scared of meeting new people, but the time I was three, I meet Mister and Miss Strange along with their son who was two years older than me.
I was scared of them at first, my they just looked at me and weren't scared or intimated by my appearance, they were in awe, intrigue. Their son, Stephen Strange step forward and held his hand out to me, I took it and he pulls me into his arms and hugs me. This made me happy and they took me in, I was able to live a happy life, but the time I turn eight, I was starting to hear... voices. They were talking to me, warning me about a great danger that was going to destroy the universe, I was scared, but I didn't want to tell because I loved my new family, I didn't want to go back. I tried to endure, but the voices got louder and louder and finally told my foster mother about it, why I didn't tell her sooner and she called help to see what was wrong with me.
Then a hooded stranger came to our aid and did something, the stranger placed her hands on my head and chanted some incantation, silencing the voices. She whispered something into my ear, but that memory was blocked as well. Mother was willing to pay, but the stranger declined the payment and went on her way. I was able to live and continue life, but when I was ten, I found a box with a little black kitten inside, I took it home and nursed it back to health, dad was surprised to find me treating a black kitten, I said wanted to keep it and promised to care for it and train it, he just laughed and said that he was surprised because I nursed it back to health. He said he was proud of me and that I have a talent to heal. I was happy and trained the kitten like I promised and named him Sully, he was mischief of course, but help me with cleaning even snuggles in bed with me every night, I loved my little kitten.
When I reached middle School, I expressed an interest in medical practice, and when my photographic memory, I was able to advance faster than any other student. This made me friendless, but I didn't care, saving lives was better than making friends. Stephen even had the same interest in medicine but thanks to his good looks, he has friends, but I just rolled my eyes at him, then through high school. I noticed that Stephen developed an ego. Mom and dad just laugh as I told them this, I remember Stephen just looking at me and I just smiled at him and he just laughed. We had a good relationship, I was his sister and he was my older brother, I know because he was never disgusted with my appearance, he said that I look like a fallen star, Little Star, that was the nickname he gave me. We continued on through graduation, college and onto med-school. I meet Christine Palmer, we became fast friends and share the same thing, Steven was an aggregate self-center man, but we still loved him.
When we graduated med-school, we begun our work at the hospital, Steven rose in the ranks, as did I but, I kept it simple. I was not after fame or glory, I just wanted to save people. But while I was out of town, I meet the infamous Tony Stark, who was more aggregate then, Stephen, he took a liking to me, but I rejected him right on the spot, his assistant and driver laughed, because I was the first woman to tell him no, when I arrived back at the hospital and begun to work, flowers and roses were sent to the front desk in vases, I would if they were Steven, but I was told they were for me from Tony Stark, I would tell them to send them with a message, saying no thank you. When Steven got wind of this he was acting... well, strange about it. Then I heard that Tony went missing for three months.
I freaked of course, then was told that he was found and he requested that I be his personal doctor, I ask if this was another attempt to win me over, but I was told in Tony's own words, that he just needed his health checked on, I just sighed and agreed to his terms. Steven was furious about it and ignored me, Christine was supportive and told me that she'll take care of Sully while I was away. I thank her and packed, Sully was whining not wanting me to go, but I promised him that I will be back. I was driving to a private jet and flown to California. I arrived at Tony's house and was given my own room, J.A.R.V.I.S the house A.I welcomed me and informed me that Tony was in the garage, Tony welcomed me as well, but I noticed something different about him, in his eyes he wasn't the arrogant man I meet, he saw something, something that he knew that had to be corrected and he lost a good friend realizing this truth.
I meet his assistant, Pepper Potts, she was welcoming as well. Knowing that I have no interest in being one of Tony's flings, made us good friends and his driver who was named Happy, we become good friends as well. Rhodey was Tony's friend in the military, he thought I was flying, but Tony assured him that I was just a doctor checking on his health. This surprised Rhodey, but he welcomed me, then I meet Tony's partner, Obadiah. And when I looked at him, saw jealousy, greed, and rage in his eyes so I was skeptical, I wouldn't be surprised if he was responsible for Tony's kidnapping. I asked Tony about it and this confused him and I saw that he was even considering it.
Then he asked for my advice, and I said, "You've known this man for half your life, but you had everything he wanted and from what I can guess, he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants." Tony thanked me and let me check on his health, then he asked another question about my appearance, I said I never knew why I was like the way I was, I never knew my parents, but a married couple took me in and raised me at their own. Their son loved me as his own sister. He smiles saying that that pleased him, knowing his friend is well taken care of. I just looked at him and asked him if he just called his friend and he confirmed it. I couldn't help but smile.
The next few days he spent his times in the garage, I made sure that he was eating so I would visit him, seeing his project, he was building an iron suit, I was supportive on his work, saying that he was a man that his eyes were open to the truth. He asked his building this suit was the right thing, "You destroyed your weapons to protect the people, but some of your weapons are still out there and there's no one else is going to do it, why not you?" he smiles at me and thank me as I left his food on the desk. I shout at him to eat before he passes out, he just laughed.
I sat in my room, emailing Christine about my time in California and she tells me that Sully was missing me. I laughed and asked her about Steven, she tells me that he was sulking, I smiled and then emailed Stephen and told him by time in California, he didn't message me back, it hurt but didn't surprise me knowing him, he may be some party. But then I heard a crashed down in the garage, I got up and ran to the garage and found a silver metal suit that crashed a car, I ask if it was Tony, he just groans and was hosed down. I just laughed and helped him up. I told him to work on the landing. Then help him out of the suit, he needed more upgrades and continued to do so.
Days past and then I look on T.V and saw a small village being raided by bandits, I became worried and then heard glass being shattered, I knew Tony was made when he came back from that party and told me that he had photos of his missiles. I just looked at him and placed my hand on his reactor and told him, "For years you wanted to keep your eyes closed to the truth, but you opened them and now you want to write the wrongs of your past. This. This is just the first step. So tell me Tony Stark, are you going to sit here and let this happen or are you going to write your wrongs?" my words gave Tony the will to do something and then I heard him leave in the suit he made, I smile knowing that he was willing to fix everything.
I looked down at the photos that he gave me and exhaled, knowing how this upset Tony. Then I saw that Pepper came back and she walks down to the garage and I followed her and we both saw the shattered glass and saw that J.A.R.V.I.S and Tony were struggling to get the suit off. And we both walk closer and he looks at us.
Then a day later Pepper confronted him and didn't want him to do what he was doing, but he wanted her to download files from Ghost file that Obahiah was hiding, she asked what his intentions were, he told her the truth, he wanted to destroy every last weapon he made, but Pepper didn't want to, she didn't want to see him start all over again, but he had no intentions of starting over, all that mattered was the mission she refused and didn't want him to get killed. But he told her that he has to, he had to do the right thing, his heart was telling him it was the right thing to do. Pepper sighs and looks at him, and asked if I had something to do with his decision and my answer. "He had his eyes closed for years, he wanted to remain a child, but after his three month capture, he opens his eyes to the truth that if his weapons fell into the wrong hands, who know how many would be hurt, he wants to write the wrongs of his past, and sometimes, we have to be willing to risk our own lives to right those wrongs." she nods at me and then took the flash drive.
Tony looks at me and thank me, I smile and nodded at him and walk out to my room and called Christine, she answered and we talk, then Sully came up to the phone, meowed and patted at the camera, I laughed and told him I missed him too, Christine tells me everything that's been happening as I told her everything that's been happening on my end, we talk for hours, but then night approached and I heard the house phone ring, I knew Tony would take it, I stop as it was answered, but I didn't hear Tony's voice, I told Christine to hang on and I walk out of my room and then walk down the stairs, but stop and quickly hid as Obadiah was there as Tony was paralyzed. I whispered to Christine that I had to go and hung up and listen to Obadiah rant on how he ordered the hit on him and how he wanted to take over the company once he was dead, and as he went on, he took the arc reactor out of his chest.
I covered my mouth to stop myself from gasping and giving myself away, then after a few more minutes later. I heard him leave and then ran to Tony's said and saw that he's rector was gone, I then ask him what to do, he looked at me and points to the garage, I nodded and pull him up, pull his arm over my shoulder and drags him to the steps, we walk down them through the glass and then I looked around for a subsitude for the reactor, then I saw the once in-cased in glass and we walk over to it, Tony started to slip and fall to the floor, I literally had to drag him to the work table and then took the case and smashed the glass on the ground, then I picked it up, found a wire, hook it on to the reactor and then I hook it back inside his chest and he took in a deep breath and started to pant, then passes out, I pant and wipe my face, knowing that Tony will be the death of me.
Then an hour later Rhodey came in and found us. I was drinking water as Rhodey ran over and shakes Tony awake. He woke up and Rhodey informs that Pepper was with five agents and they were going to arrest Obadiah, but Tony knew they were going to need more than that. So he took the suit and flew off, I then look at Rhodey and we ran to the base to stop the navy from interfering.
And after the fight, Tony was able to stop Obadiah and killing him along with suit Obadiah had made and the large reactor along with him.
The next day, I was attending to Tony's injuries as Pepper as doing the make-up, Phil from S.H.I.E.L.D gave Tony an alibi to get him out of the mess, and then Pepper thanks him as Tony asked me if he should lie about him. "Well, you're no superhero, Tony. You were just writing a wrong, and if you want the press to know then, that's your decision and if not then you have to be this Ironman in secret," she tells him he smiles at him and nods and then Tony talks to Pepper and I saw that he was in love with her, I just smile at him. Then he went on, Pepper and I watched on the T.V as Tony went up. He talk and a reporter questions him.
But he assures her that he was no hero, it's not in his nature. Saw that what everyone was saying he was, then Rhoedy tells him to just read the cards, he went to but then he thought for a second and then lowers the cards and then tells them the truth. The press was in an uproar, but then quiets then and said the next words "I'm only telling you this because a really good friend of mine once told me, for years, I had my eyes closed to the truth, I didn't want to face it, I wanted to keep my head turn from it. But when I was captured, I suffered for three months because they wanted to they wanted me to build weapons for them, and so I build something else, build a suit of armor and I fought my way out, I survived and went I came back, my eyes were so open. I then knew what I had to do. I had to destroy all the weapons I created over the years. I was writing all my wrongs and I will continue to write my wrongs." the second he said those words, I smiled, knowing that Tony was a changed man.
The next day I packed my things and walk to the jet, all the friends I made, Pepper, Happy, Rhoedy, and Tony came to see me off, I smiled at them and hugged them, Tony offered me a permanent position as his doctor, but I laugh and shook my head at him and said that I was stressed enough and just wanted to go home and see my friends and cat. He nods and hugs me.
I boarded the plane and took off towards home, I arrive and Tony was there in his suit, I stood there and laughed, he jokes saying that I was slow. I nodded at him, he then took my luggage and then picks me up fly me to my apartment. He lands down
on the fire escape. Then opens my window, I smirk as he allows me inside. I shook my head and walks inside and he handed my luggage me to and I took it, he bid me a good night and promises to call and as he took off I shout at him to stay out of trouble, he and he told me no promises. I shook my head and closes my window.
Six months of past and in those six months the other doctors kept asking me if Tony and I were a thing, I answered with 'No' and 'He already has a girlfriend.' Stephen then aced weirder than usual and so I asked Christine about and she shrugs at me and we continued to work. Then a self-center businessman came and asked for me, I approached him and asked him what he wanted he told me he was Justin Hammer of Hammer Tech and I have heard that company before, a rival company to Stark Tech. He said that he will pay me if I tell him Tony's secrets of his tech and an extra fee for a "Good time" saying that of Tony had me for so long that I must be that good.
Everyone stops in their tracks and look at him in shock, he smirks as he held out the money to her, Christine and Stephen heard all this and Stephen went to intervene but Christine held him back. I chuckled and then glared at him, informing him that Tony's secrets were not mine to give, I have no intentions of handing them over and then I punched him in the face, making everyone gasp in shock and kneel him in the ball making him wide eyes and groans in pain as he sinks to the floor and I tell him I was Tony's doctor, not his fling and tell him to remember it as I tells security to clean up the trash as I walk away. Everyone applause I as did Stephen and Christine, Justin was taken out of the hospital as I took a clipboard and walks to my next patient.
Then after the six months I look up and saw that Tony was on T.V as they were trying to take the Ironman away, but Tony refuses to hand the Ironman over then Justin came on and I roll my eyes at this, seeing that he was still trying to take the Ironman as well. He even mentioned me, and Tony assured them that I was just his doctor, I was monitoring his health and I gave him advice on what he needed when he was down or lost, I was a friend and I was an independent woman, a strong woman that was never afraid to show and tell my option, and if someone what to fuck me over, they will have to remember, I know the human body, I can put together and take it apart and if someone tried to hurt me they will have to deal with him. I was a little embarrassed as Christine smirks and said that I made a big impression on him, I just smirk as I go over the list of patients. Stephen walks away as he was glooming, we both shrug and look back and saw that they even pulled in Rhoedy in to make people see reason as well, but he went and said as said in the report and also said that the Ironman was perfect where it was. Then Tony hack the there and revealed that other people were trying as well, bigger and better, but they were all failures. Even Justin was on the T.V as well as he was trying to make Ironmen as well. But failed as well.
I snort as well, seeing that Tony one-up them and saw that he was one with the people as the councils claps and applause him but then a month later an envelop arrives as my cell rings, It was Tony and he asked me to analysis the photos inside and all the notes he took, I knew in the tone of his voice, it was bad, the doctor gave it to me and I took it, I went to my office and looks pulls out the photos inside the envelop and gasp. There were the black-blueish making that was crawling up his body from his chest. I look over the notes and then and it reads them, I gasp and pick the phone, I informed him that it was radiation poisoning, if the reactor in his chest that powers both his chest to keep him alive and his suit, he will die in the next few days. Tony asked if I could cure it, I rub my face and lean against the desk. I knew I couldn't so I tell him that I don't have the medicine to save him, I heard him hum as I sniffles and wipe away my tears. He told me not to cry, but I said to him that I wouldn't help it, knowing that my friend was dying, I was entitled to cry.
He tells me not to worry and that he was going to spend the last of his days in joy, I groan knowing that he'll do something stupid. And I was proven right, a dinner with Hammer, an attack on the race track that he participated in and a house fight. I knew that I wasn't there, but I still get stressed over it. While I was working, Pepper called me and asked what was wrong with Tony, I hesitated to know that Tony doesn't want people to know he's dying, I told her that he never said anything to me. She was skeptical at first and then hang up, I hung up as well and rub my temples, I really need to go home and spend time with my cat.
Then Stephen came to me and invited me as his plus one to a party, I agreed and we went. The party was nice and people kept asking me about my relationship with Tony Stark. I told the truth, I was his doctor and he was my patient, I had no intimate or psychical relationship with him, I attended to his health and gave him advice. Then I felt Stephen's arm wrapped around my waist, I looked down at it and then look up at him and saw that he was staring at me the entire up, I could see all the love and admiration, I smile at him and look back at the people, assuring them that I had no fling with Tony, just that I was a good friend to him as he was a good friend to me.
The party went on for hours and then a reward was given to Stephen and well all clap for him, I smile as I clapped as well. He found me in the crowd and winks at me, a smirk and shake my head at him. He then drove me home and I thank him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Then I walk back to my apartment and was greeted by Sully he was meowing at me as I walk through the door, I pick him up and pampered him, making him purr. I then fed him and laid on my bed and read a book.
The next day I got a called from Tony saying that he created a new element that saved his life, I then head a knock on the door, I got up and answered it seeing that it was a delivery man with a package that was of course of Tony Stark, I signed the paper and bid the delivery man a good day. I open the package and pulled out the context and saw that it was more photos, of the new element he created and of taking down his rival and then of him and Pepper smiling together. I laugh and sat down, I told him that he was an insane man, but he really turned his life around.
He chuckles a little and tells me, that was my fault for being a good friend to him, I smiled at him and informs him that if he needs a check-up for the new element, just called, and he tells me to enough my life as a savior. I giggled and hung up and look at the photos, then Sully jumps onto the couch and walks up onto my shoulders, I scratch his head and he purrs. I became a doctor to save lives help people find their way back from hell.
But had I known about the next few steps in my life that made me a powerful sorceress and protector of the galaxy? I would have just laughed.
