Disclaimer: I don't own Tony, just my character.
…
"… Tony?" Her voice drifts into his ear, causing his eyes to flutter open. She is lying next to him, gazing at his dark brown eyes with her own silvery gray ones.
"Yeah, that's me. You ok now?" She nods before snuggling into his chest. He lightly strokes her hair, thinking back to that night where they were together. "You didn't have to do that you know."
"Do what?"
"Push me away." She opens her eyes again, lifting herself onto her elbows.
"I was saving you."
"We could've found another way."
"You would have been hurt."
"I almost lost you."
"How can you lose something you never had in the first place?" Tony chuckles.
"I don't know. Weren't you the one who was criticizing stupid questions?" She stares into his eyes for a minute before they both burst into giggles.
"Tony, why do you care about me so much? We were barely together for an hour." He sighs, pondering his response.
"Look, you changed me; I'd like to think for the better. And it wasn't just 'you tell me to change and I obey without question' either. You presented me with the truth; it just took some shrapnel to the chest to make me understand it." She then notices the glowing blue reactor in his chest. Her fingers trace it lightly as her eyes gaze into the intense blue glow.
"I knew those scribbles would be useful."
"Yeah, you were right. They saved my life; just like you did, my guardian angel." Her cheeks are dusted with pink at his words.
"You know… I like that."
"Like what?"
"Angel, unless you already have a name picked out for me." Tony's eyes widen.
"You don't have a name?!" She shrugs.
"Like I said… Angel is cool; unless you have another suggestion." He shakes his head incredulously.
"You never cease to amaze me… Angel."
"And you never cease to amaze me, my wonderful creator."
