After what seemed like forever, a doctor came out and called for a 'Mr. Stark.'

"That's me," Tony said urgently as he and Pepper zoomed over towards the doctor. A million questions were flying out of the pair's mouths. How was their daughter? Was she awake? When could they see her? The finally asked them to take a seat.

"I am Doctor Copeland, nice to meet the both of you. Mason is doing well and they are closing her up as we speak."

"Surgery?" Pepper questioned.

"The bone in her left forearm needed to be reset, so our amazing orthopedic surgeon went in and she should be out of the cast in 6-8 weeks.

"Cast? 6-8 weeks?" Tony asked.

"Unfortunately, it wasn't the cleanest of breaks, so it will need a bit longer to heal. As for the cast, just a standard fiberglass top, nothing special."

Tony and Pepper looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief, both knowing that their daughter was going to be fine.

"What about the blood loss?"

"We were able to do infusions and she took to it well. We want to keep her here until Thursday just to keep an eye on her but she should be up and moving around again with no problem," Dr. Copeland said before he told the pair he must be off and someone would be back to get them when Mason was in recovery.

A little later another doctor came out and told Pepper and Tony that Mason was awake in recovery and that they could see her. When they got to their daughter's room they immediately hugged her and kissed her. She looked absolutely thrilled to see them.

After a little while of chatting about how she was feeling and what the doctor had said, Mason asked if they had found out what had happened.

"Not yet sweetheart but Fury is at the house as we speak with a team looking into it. Don't worry, we'll take care of it," Tony said as he patted his daughter's leg.

"Are you able to stay with me tonight, Mom?" Mason asked.

"Of course. Daddy is going to run home and see how Fury is doing but he'll come back later with a change of clothes for the both of us," Pepper told her daughter.

"She's right. I'll be back before you go to sleep," Tony said as he got up and kissed his daughter's forehead for the millionth time that day. Pepper just pointed to the hallway, letting her daughter know that she was going to talk to her father.

"She will want a pair of leggings and a t-shirt, any one you can find in her closet will be good. Bring me some lounge clothes as well," Pepper started saying, listing off the things Tony needed to bring back with him.

"Slow down, Pep," Tony told his wife. "We can grab that stuff tomorrow. Right now the essentials. I'll be back around 10. I just want to check in on the team and figure out what they know so far. I won't be long."

Pepper just nodded at him. "I'm going to go back in there. See you later."

"Have you found anything?" Tony asked Fury when he got to the house. He was hoping that he wouldn't need to look into the explosion himself.

"Not much. We're getting some people in here to clear out the debris," Fury told Tony as he looked around. The studio was a mess. Stone was everywhere and most everything would need to be replaced. He wasn't worried about that because all that mattered was that Mason was safe but it still made his stomach uneasy not knowing what happened.

"As long as it's all cleaned up by the time we need to bring her home on Thursday."

"I'll make sure of it. How's your girl doing by the way?"

Tony looked at the ground and shuffled his feet. "Wants to know what happened, but better than expected, I guess. Only a broken arm."

"Lucky girl," Fury said.

Tony just looked straight ahead. He couldn't stop thinking about finding Mason on the floor in this room just hours earlier scared to death. Tony breathed out and muttered, "When I she called me, God, I haven't heard that voice since she was afraid of the dark."

"We will figure out what happened here. Don't worry," Fury said reassuringly, as he patted Tony on the back. "Go back to the hospital. Be with your family."

"Yeah. I just stopped by to pick up some clothes for the girls." Tony turned around and left the room, not being able to stand the look of it anymore.

It was finally Thursday and Pepper and Tony were able to bring their daughter home. It was a typical broken arm and the doctors only wanted to keep Mason there for a day of observation because of the blood transfusions. However, a day and a half in the hospital was long enough for the 17-year old.

When they returned home that afternoon, the music studio had been cleared out and was empty, just like Fury said it would be, except for the piece of the instruments she'd had up there. They looked so sad and broken. Her instruments were her lifelines, what kept her going most days. Fortunately, Mason's prized possessions, her first set of drums and her guitar, wittingly named Virginia, were safely in her studio in New York.

"Sweetheart, why don't you go lie down and I'll bring you some lunch," Pepper said to Mason as she saw the sad look on her daughter's face as they stood in the studio.

"Okay," Mason muttered as she dragged herself out the door and to her room. Seeing the studio made her sad. It also scared her. She wasn't one to get easily spooked but Mason also didn't think this was a freak accident.

SHIELD hadn't found much except that it was electrically based. Her father was trying to see where it originated from but even he was coming up short. It wasn't very reassuring that the best weren't able to find much but it sparked something in Mason. She was like her father and always wanted to get to the bottom of things and if someone were after her or her family, she'd damn well stop them.
