Hey, guess what!? I UPDATED! Took me long enough, huh? But I finally found out how to word somethings and i was able to get just enough to make a chapter! I'm excited to hear what you guys think! for those of you who didn't read my most recent upload as of 1/1/13, i got a new computer of MY OWN! So i will be able to update and post more things! XD
This chapter idea came from Finny-Kun Goddess...i think...AND of course i DO NOT own LEE STARK! Which, yes she is in this chapter, and i'm pretty sure she might be in future chapters...(I said might!) She is completely owned by Finny-Kun Goddess... So, Thank YOU for lending such a good idea to me!
Disclaimer: I don't own IMAA, I don't own Lee Stark, and i don't own anything! Just the plot...
Pepper and Rhodey took Tony to the doctors office nearby the next day. They had already gotten the teachers to excuse them from class and had their homework in their bags, so they wouldn't have to pick it up the next day. Tony had a temp of 101.6 and his face was really red half the ride there. Then he turned to a sickly pale green color. He had also picked up a cough and was currently sleeping in the middle of the backseat of a taxi. It was surprising just how sick he had gotten over a day.
The taxi cab pulled over to the front of the doctors office and they all stepped out of the car. Pepper picked Tony up as they made their way to the front doors. Rhodey held the door open for the two and slipped in after them. Rhodey sat down while Pepper sent Tony to where all the toys were, which he wasn't really into, while she went up to the front desk to get them signed in.
She returned to their spot and sat down next to Rhodey. With a sigh she closed her eyes only to open them and she heard Tony violently coughing. Rhodey held a hand up and walked over to the baby genius and patted his back mumbling something Pepper couldn't hear. She took the chance and closed her eyes once again and waited for their names to be called.
"Tony, how about you just go sit down with us and you could use my phone." Rhodey offered as Tony stubbornly turned down Rhodey's help.
"Really?" Tony asked with wide eyes.
"Yep, only if you stay quiet." Rhodey added.
Tony nodded eagerly and rushed to sit down before sneezing multiple times. He simply sniffed and made that really cute face Pepper always giggled at. Then he was back to practically bouncing in his seat waiting for Rhodey to hand him his phone. Rhodey taking the seat next to him, handed him his phone and Tony laughed as turned the phone on.
Five minutes later, his name was called and he looked to Pepper for help. She had opened her closed eyes and noticed that he was staring right at her and had that curious look on his face he always seemed to have now days. She thought it was cute. Wait, what? She shook her head and settled with it being her love for little kids. It had nothing to do with the fact that it was her best friend that got turned into a baby.
She lead Tony with Rhodey behind him, to where the nurse directed them. They took Tony's weight, checked his height, then took his temp. 102.1. It was getting higher and even though Pepper was pretty sure it was just a horrible cold, she couldn't help but be worried. They were lead into a room not to far away and tony was sat on the bed thing.
"Hello, I'm your nurse for today, I'm Penny."
"Like Pepper!" Tony noted happily smiling at Pepper before sneezing then coughing.
"Yep, almost like Pepper." The nurse said with the playful smile adults got when looking to little kids.
Tony couldn't help but feel annoyed. He couldn't help but want to tell her to stop looking at him like he was a baby. But he knew he couldn't because he was a baby. He was. Wasn't he? There was no other explanation. Anyways it was impossible to change from an teen or adult to a toddler. Right? So he kept his mouth shut and pretended to laugh.
The nurse did a few things and asked a bunch of questions that Tony didn't understand much so he busied himself with the phone he still was holding. Though Rhodey was pretty quick to take it away from him much to his dismay. After taking a swab checking for strep, the nurse left the room saying that the doctor would be with them as soon as possible.
They all waited patiently, well Tony didn't, but Rhodey calmed him down from him rolling around on the doctors chair with the bribe of his phone. So Tony sat there messing with the phone. Until he came upon the photos. He saw many many photos of Rhodey and his dad, Rhodey and his mom, with both of them, with Pepper, and one with the boy from his own dreams and Peppers wall. The boy he was pretty sure was him.
There was tons of them. Then there was that mettle suit that he was flying around in the other day. Then there was a few of him and Pepper doing something together. He was just about to question Rhodey and Pepper about the pictures, but before that could happen a young woman walked into the room. She looked almost the same age as Rhodey and Pepper and that boy in the photos...
"I'm Lee, your doctor." She had a smirk on her face as she walked past Tony and Tony narrowed his eyes at her.
"The tests for strep and a few other things we tested for were negative," Lee said and she looked to Tony for a moment before looking to Pepper.
Then she stepped over to Tony and reached out. He watched her curiously until she lifted him up by the back of his shirt. "Wow, you are an idiot little bro. Next time you're working on an invention make sure I'm working with you."
Tony just hung there looking at her with wide eyes that read, "What on earth are you talking about?"
Pepper stood up with a look of anger in her eyes and stepped forwards to take Tony from the young doctor. Instead Lee just moved over towards Pepper and Tony practically jumped into Peppers arms scared that the doctor was trying to hurt him.
"Awww ain't that cute?" Lee said in a teasing voice.
"What's wrong with you?" Pepper asked when Rhodey opened his mouth to say something.
"What's wrong with me?" The doctor asked. "Nothing, Tony just has to be an idiot and turn himself into a toddler. He's the only person I know that's capable of doing that to himself."
"How do you know him?" Rhodey asked.
"Didn't you hear? He's my little bro. As in brother." Lee said. "We were twins, until he gone and did this too himself."
Pepper's eyes widened and she looked closely at the doctor. She did have the same hair color and blue eyes. She did look a lot like Tony now that she thought about it. Though why was she being so mean to Tony? No she wasn't being mean, she was being his sister. The one who will always criticize and pester him. She was only doing what was natural to siblings.
"Why didn't we know about this?" Pepper asked.
"Rhodey knows, I think he forgot about me though." Lee said winking to Rhodey before looking back to Tony.
"I think he just caught the flu," Lee said getting back to business. "I'll prescribe him with some children's cough medicine, and that's about all I can do other than say rest."
"You're not even going to look more into it, like test for the flu?" Pepper questioned the doctor.
"I don't have to. I can see that he has a flu, if he doesn't this will get rid of that cough and it will help him sleep anyway." Lee responded easily. "Come back, if it doesn't get any better."
Lee started to do some things on the computer with a light smile on her face. Pepper sat back down with Tony still in her arms. Though she could see that something was on his mind and she wanted to ask him what it was, but she decided it was best just to wait until they got home. That way this Lee person who claims to be Tony's twin, even though she does look the part, she didn't trust her. She'd just have to ask Tony when this was all over. If it gets over.
Lee finished up whatever it was that she was doing and handed Pepper a piece of paper with her signature on it. Sure enough she had the famous 'Stark' as her last name, so maybe she was Tony's sister.
"I gotta go but," She paused as she dug in her pocket for something. "Call me, if you guys can't fix this. I'm sure I can help."
She handed Rhodey a card that most likely had her number on it and she left mumbling something about having an idiot for a brother and that she hoped this 'Pepper' person was good for him.
"Peppeh, am I sick?" Tony asked looked up at her. "Like willy willy sick?"
"No, you'll be fine." Pepper responded.
She stood up and made sure Tony was secure on her hip before walking out the door, with thoughts of Lee running through her head.
Was it any good? Was it as good as you hoped? (I'm specifically asking Finny-Kun Goddess here, since it was her idea and HER OC.) I tried my best, cause i'm pretty sure i just got over my writers block on this story...i finally found out where i can go with this. Which i already knew, i just didn't know how to put it to words.
Anyways, next chapter will have Nick Fury in it, and it will have the beginning to the trials to change Tony back. Just so you know what to be looking up to...I really hope that i can update sooner than i did last, because honestly, this was REALLY hard to come up with...Though it only took my two days to write... u.u but honestly it came to me just last night, so yeah...
I have to go, but i'll be working on either Haunted Shadows, Baby Phase, or Sins of Insanity next. biya!
