"Com'on kids, onto the bus. Stay in a nice line." Quinn was going on a filed trip with her class. They were going to the botanical gardens to study about plant-life. Quinn followed her classmates, holding her notebook and pen as she walked up and into the bus. She sat near the window, starting to write out equations and variables for her suit. A little boy sat next to her, brown hair and blue eyes, a little chubby. He looked at her. "What are you doing?" "Working." "Working on what?" She looked up, clearly annoyed with him. "A suit." He laughed. "Suits are for boys." She rolled her eyes. "Not that kind of suit. An Iron Man suit. I'm gonna save the world in it one day." The boy scoffed. "Yeah right."

They went into a quite lapse. The bus starting to move. Within a few minutes the boy was talking. "isn't your name Quinn?" She nodded, continuing to write down the highly advanced math on her notebook. He held his hand out. "I'm Mason." She didn't even look up. "Ok." he deflated, almost glaring. "Ok? " Quinn looked up, glaring. "Please, I am trying to work." Mason grumbled sitting back, arms crossed. After a few moments he pushed her hand, making her mess up on purpose. "Opps." She gasped before glaring. "Why would you do that?! That was my work on the flight stabilizers!" Mason raised an eyebrow. "Your wha-Ow!" He was cut off as Quinn hit him with her notebook. The teacher saw this, crossing her arms. "Miss. Stark, we do not hit people." Quinn pouted up, the little glare still clear. "But he ruined my work, look!" She showed her teacher her now ruined work with a pen line going across it.

The teacher sighed. "I know Quinn but that is no reason to resort to violence. Now say your sorry or I will have to talk to your parents." Quinn grumbled, crossing her arms. "Sorry.." Mason started to chuckle at her misfortune. "And you to Mason." Mason gasped. "Why? She was ignoring me!" The teacher gave him a look. He grumbled. "Sorry.." Quinn stuck out her tongue and the teacher rolled her eyes. "I'll be keeping my eye on you. Both of you." She walked away, heels clicking on the floor of the bus.

Tony was busy welding something down in the lab when JARVIS spoke. "Sir, you have an incoming call." Tony put up his goggles on his head, ruffling his hair up. "Put it on screen." He saw the ID was the local hospital, he became worried within seconds. "Hello?" He spoke, standing. He heard the voice clear there throat. "Yes, , this is Dr. Beth of New York City Children's hospital. We had your daughter, Quinn arrive a few minutes ago-" Tony was nearly nose to the screen as he walked closer. "What happened? Is she ok?" "Yes, everything is fine. Seems she has an allergy that even she didn't know about. Her teacher said she got stung by a bee. Luckily a teacher had an Epi-pen on them or...I don't even want to think of it but she is quite upset and-" "Yeah, I'll be there." He hung up, pressing the button on the holoscreen, quickly taking the goggles off, going to find Kim.

He found her in there study reading, he quickly went in. "Angel.." She looked up then frowned. "What happened? Whats wrong?" Tony swallowed. "Quinn, shes in the hospital. She had an allergic reaction to a bee sting." Kim got up quickly. "Oh my God., is she ok?" "The doctor said shes fine, just shaken up." He started to walk quickly down the hall with Tony before she stopped him. "Go find Gage, he'll want to see her. I'll let Clint know so he can keep watch over the tower." Tony nodded, taking off toward the training room. He knocked, Gage was practicing his katanas, both in each hand, he looked up. "Yeah?" Tony sighed. "It's Quinn, shes in the hospital." Gage quickly put his swords away, going to Tony, walking with him. "What happened? Is she ok?" Tony nodded, leading him to the garage. "Yeah, apparently she has a bee allergy and no one had any idea." Gage shook his head. "And shes ok?" Tony nodded. "That's what the doctor said. But she said she was lucky another teacher had an Epi-pen."

Gage tensed at the thought of what could have happened had that teacher not had that.

They got to the hospital fairly quickly and Tony knew he'd have some ticket waiting in the mail as he ran a few red lights. He parked quickly, getting to the counter with Kim and Gage by his side within seconds. "I'm here for Quinn, Stark, shes my daughter." The nurse wrote it in. "Shes just down the hall, room 302." He nodded, taking off. He got to the door quickly going in slowly. He didn't want to scare her anymore then she already was. She was laying down, an IV in her arm, her face still a bit puffy and red, she sniffled, crying quietly. "Aww hey princess.." She looked up, her lip trembling. "d-daddy.." He sat next to her on the bed, helping her sit up, hugging her close. "Shh it's ok.." She cried into his side. Kim watched, just relived her daughter was ok. Gage was standing next to Kim, wanting nothing more then to rush over to her and hold her til she felt safe. She cried. "I was so scared. I thought I was gonna die..." She looked up, eyes wide. "I didn't die did I? I'm ok?" Tony let out a sad laugh, kissing her head. "Yes, your ok." Kim sat next to Quinn on the other side of the bed, petting her hair. "Sweetie, what happened?" Quinn sniffled. "We were walking around the different plants and some had some bees and this one kid, Mason was really scared of them and one came over to him and I tried to swat it away from him, to protect him but it stung my hand." Her lip trembled, a few tears still falling.

Km gently held her daughters small hand, seeing the red, puffy sting sight on her palm. It was swollen pretty bad, taking over her palm. She gently kissed her daughters hand. "I'm sorry sweetie.." Quinn sniffled, bit her lip, not wanting to cry any more then she has. "It wasn't your fault mommy.." Kim smiled sadly, kissing her head. Tony could still feel Quinn shaking. He guessed not being able to breath and nearly dying is a lot for a 6 year old. He looked to Gage, he knew he could help her. "Gage, I'm gonna go get her checked out, can you talk to her a bit?" Gage nodded. "Of corse." Tony nodded before getting up, he could see how terrified this made Quinn. Kim got up as well, wanting to give Gage his privacy.

Gage sat next to her once they left, holding her close. "Oh princess..." She cried, hiding into him best she could "I was so scared.. I couldn't breath, I couldn't move. " He kissed her head, rocking her gently. "I know. I was scared to." She sniffled. "Why were you scared? Your not scared of anything. Knights don't get scared." He smiled, laughing lightly, sadly. "Oh no, they can get very scared but you know what Knights have?" She shook her head, looking up. He could feel her calming. "courage. They have courage." She pouted. "Only knights? Not princess?" He smiled. "Only special, brave princesses have it." She looked down, pouting. He knelled down on the floor, making sure to be eye level with her. The bed was very close to the ground so she could get down easily. "But you know what? Your one of those special princesses. You proved that today when you took on that bee for that kid. " She smiled weakly, wiping tears away. He continued. "And you already have plans for saving the world. Your the bravest princess I know." She smiled brightly, a small laugh escaping. "I'm the only princess you know!" Gage grinned. "And the bravest!" She laughed and he has never been so happy to hear it.

It was a half hour later they got home and Quinn had fallen asleep on there way home. Gage carried her up to her room, tucking her in. he quickly went back to his room, looking around for it. He smiled as he found his small bunny plushie. It's been with him thru thick and thin and managed to save his life a few times when he got low. He dreamed nearly every night of the girl who gave it to him. She was gorgeous and funny and made him the happiest he never thought he could be. He still had no idea exactly who she was but he thanked God every day he met her and made him realize the life he could have. That he wanted. He went back to Quinns room, gently tucking the bunny into her little arm. Her arm curling around it tightly, he smiled, kissing her head as he went back downstairs.

It was a few hours later, Quinn woke up from a nightmare but now calm she was watching Spongebob on the couch with Gage looking exhausted from the day. Kim was getting dinner ready when Clint walked in the door with TJ who came running in the living room. His smile faded when he saw how Quinn was. She was still a little puffy and a bandaged was wrapped around her hand with some anti-histamine ointment the doctor prescribed. TJ frowned, looking worried as Tony came in. "Quinn, whats wrong?" Quinn was gonna speak but her dad beat her to it. "Hey son, can we talk?" TJ frowned up at him as he walked in the kitchen with his dad. "I'm not in trouble am I?" Tony smiled, sitting and lifting TJ to his lap. "No, your not son. It's about your sister." "Is she ok?" TJ asked quickly, looking worried. Tony nodded. "Shes fine but there's something we need to talk about concerning her." TJ waited for him to continue. Tony sighed, grabbing the Epi-pen, showing it to TJ. "Today Quinn got stung by a bee and we didn't know she was allergic to it. You know what happens when your allergic to bee stings?" TJ shook his head. Tony continued. "Well what happens is you can get puffy and your throat closes up and it makes it really hard to breath." TJ's eyes widen. "Quinn couldnt breath?" Tony nodded. "Because she got a bee sting. But this.." He showed the pen. "Saved her. Now you see this button on the top?" "Uh-huh."

"If your with her and she gets stung and were not around you, you press this into her leg and press this button. This is what will help her breath again." TJ nodded. Tony continued. "Now what should you do if she gets a bee sting?" TJ looked at the Epi-pen. "That if your not around to use that. I press it on her leg and press the button on the top." Tony smiled, kissing his head. "Very good. Now why don't you go watch some cartoons with her while dinner cooks?" TJ nodded, Tony helped him off his lap. TJ walked into the living room, crawling onto the couch, gently hugging his sister. Tony smiled,watching. TJ spoke quietly. "I love you sister." Quinn hugged him. "I love you to brother." TJ frowned. "Are you ok now?" Quinn smiled. "I'm ok." TJ nodded before being comfortable enough to watch the cartoons on the screen. He didn't let go of his sister, scared she would disappear if he did.
