The first thing Tony noticed was the pain.

The second was Pepper. She was sitting beside his hospital bed, holding his remaining hand. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she hadn't slept in days.

Tony Stark

Hey.

His voice was rough, barely more than a rasp.

Pepper Potts

immediately looks up, relief washing over her face Tony. Oh, thank God.

She leaned forward, carefully kissing his forehead.

Tony Stark

How long?

Pepper Potts

A couple of days. The doctors have been keeping you sedated. You've been through a lot.

Tony shifted slightly, wincing. His gaze eventually travelled down towards his right side, where his arm should have been. Pepper noticed.

Pepper Potts

They did everything they could. The damage from the blast was too extensive. They tried to save it, Tony. They really did. But there was nothing more they could do.

Tony stared at the empty space for several seconds, processing the words. Then he looked back at her.

Tony Stark

Well... hope you don't mind me being 15% Iron Man all the time now.

Pepper let out a shaky laugh, wiping her eyes. Before she could respond, the hospital door flew open.

Peter Parker

MR. STARK!

Peter practically stumbled inside, with Steve rushing in right behind him.

Steve Rogers

Peter! You're supposed to be resting!

Peter ignored him completely, stopping beside Tony's bed.

Peter Parker

You're awake.

Tony Stark

Last time I checked, kid.

Peter's face crumpled with relief. He carefully hugged Tony, trying not to hurt him. Tony smiled, gently squeezing his shoulder.

Tony Stark

Easy, Underoos. I'm not going anywhere.
