Tony was fast asleep when the alarm began buzzing. "What's the problem, J.A.R.V.I.S, why is the alarm ringing?" asked Tony. "Ms. Singh is in trouble, Mr. Stark" announced J.A.R.V.I.S' voice, "The emergency button on her watch was pressed a moment ago, sir". That jolted Tony awake faster than a double shot of espresso. "Details, J.A.R.V.I.S" said Tony as he pressed the wristband and his suit began to assemble itself around him. "The location is Riverbank State Park, sir, I'm pinging the satellite for visuals" said J.A.R.V.I.S. "Alright, send me what you get" said Tony as he took off towards the GPS coordinates from Amii's watch. What he saw when J.A.R.V.I.S projected the satellite images sent fear and anger cruising through him. Amii was on the ground, her face bloody, her dress torn, and two men with knives hovering over her.
He picked up speed as he rocketed over the buildings of Manhattan, praying that he would be on time.
Amii's head and ribs were throbbing, her face burning on the side she'd grazed as the two men grabbed her and pulled her up and began to drag her. "I wouldn't do that if I were you", she heard a familiar voice say. She looked up and saw Iron Man land in front of her assailants. "Get your filthy hands off of MY girl" she heard him say before he used his repulsor blasts to knock Bobby and Jonesey away. Both men tumbled through the air before landing several feet way in a heap. "Now get your asses out of here before I turn the heat on" he said. The two junkies scrambled away. "I need a patrol car to pick up a couple of junkies headed towards 145 St. They just attacked a woman in Riverbank Park. Yes, she is safe" said Tony as he walked up to Amii.
"Tony…" Amii managed to mumble before she lost consciousness. He scooped her up in his arms as she fainted and flew her back to his home. He put her down on the bed gently in his and got out of his suit. He looked at her bloody face, her torn clothes and heard her moaning in pain as felt a fresh wave of anger coursed through his veins – more anger than he had ever felt before. "Dr. Johnson is here, Mr. Stark" announced J.A.R.V.I.S. Tony gently lifted Amii's head and put a pillow under it as the doctor and a nurse entered. Tony was ushered outside as the nurse began cutting Amii's dress open and the doctor checked her pulse and blood pressure. The medical staff were S.H.I.E.L.D agents and Tony had called them on the way home. The doctor knew him well and had treated him after his fights with bad guys which sometimes left him injured despite the protection the suit offered him. Plus, they had access to technology that could greatly accelerate the healing process that you would not find at a regular hospital.
Tony paced anxiously, waiting for the doctor to finish treating Amii. "Maybe you should get some rest, sir" said J.A.R.V.I.S. "Shut up, J.A.R.V.I.S, how can I rest while the woman I love lies bruised and battered?" said Tony. "Does she know that, sir?" asked J.A.R.V.I.S. "No, she doesn't, I will never be the man she deserves with this thing in my chest that poisons me while keeping me alive. As long as I am Iron Man she will never be safe with me, so it doesn't matter what I feel. This conversation is over and if you ever tell her about this, I swear I will pull the plug on you". "If you say so, Mr. Stark" said J.A.R.V.I.S.
Amii heard faint voices and a buzzing, humming and hissing as something that felt like soothing, cold fingers ran up and down her aching body. She opened her eyes, but her vision was foggy and though the place seemed familiar she couldn't tell where she was and how she got here. Her body burned in pain that she could not focus on anything. She felt someone jab a needle into her arm and within a few seconds she drifted off into a deep but troubled sleep.
