Hey guys! Sorry if this chapter is a little bit choppy but I'm having extreme writers block. :( But please please please review! It keeps me going! So I hope you enjoy!
I can say that was probably the worst night in my life. Every hour I woke up in immense pain radiating form my chest. Every time I woke up the pain got worse and as much as I didn't want to, I started crying. Yeah I know, a grown man crying but I was still getting used to all the pain. Apparently during the night I was whimpering so the 3rd time I woke up, Yinsen was at my side trying to calm me down.
"You'll get used to it, Stark."
"No I won't I'm going to die before that happens," I cried out at him.
"You'll figure out a way," and with that he walked away. When I woke up the next morning, breakfast was already made. After we ate the gruesome meal, Yinsen started talking. What do you want this time? I thought to myself.
"Lift up your shirt," he started "I have to make sure there is no infection starting."
"Do we really have to? I can barely lift my own arms up," I said dully.
"Yes, we do. Think about it, it will hurt more if there is an infection." I rolled my eyes at him. I sat down on the floor starting to take off my shirt. I eventually reached a point where the pain was too much to lift my arms up to take my shirt off. I sat there, trying to hold the scream in.
"I can't do it," I said through gritted teeth. This was a pretty hard thing for me to admit because I can do almost anything, but something as simple as lifting my arms up, I couldn't do that.
"Here, let me help." With that he came over and slowly took my shirt off to not hurt me.
"Lay flat on your back. It will be easier." So I did what he told and let myself go onto my back. All he did was look at it at first.
"All I'm going to do is going to touch the skin around the magnet. If it hurts too much just tell me," When he said that my mind went completely crazy because I knew it was going to hurt. He just barley laid his finger onto my skin when I screamed out.
"I'll stop," Yinsen told me.
"No, no just grab a towel or something." He walked away and came back with a towel in hand and gave it to me. I stuffed it in my mouth so it was like a gag. I took it out and told him he could keep doing what he was doing before and to ignore me. He was done in 5 minutes and my throat was completely raw from yelling into the towel.
"Well, there's no sign of infection so I guess that means we have to start working," he said with sorrow in his voice. I walked over to the table that I left last night and began furiously working on the calculations to the arc reactor. Within the hour, I finally figured it out. I was going to live! I started laughing so hard at the thought.
"I guess God wants me to have a second chance," I thought. Yinsen came over to where I was working and looked over my shoulder.
"What's so funny about the calculations, Stark?" he questioned. Should I tell him now?
"I'm going to live," I simply put. "These are plans to keep me alive."
"How could he come up with something like that in a cave?" Steve said.
"He's Tony Stark, he can do anything anywhere at any time," Clint put in.
"Brother Tony is going to live!" boomed Thor.
"How much did you not tell us, Fury?" Bruce asked.
"Yeah, I didn't even know about half of this stuff," Natasha added.
"Well, if you so badly want to know, I didn't know about this either!" yelled Fury.
"Let's all calm down and continue reading." Steve said and with that, they continued to read.
Please review! :)
