Avengers Guarded

Ch. 13 "I know"

                                                    Tony POV 

It was the next day, I was still in the lab when all the machines started going off rapidly, 

"What's wrong?" I asked Bruce 

"Her blood sugar is severely low," He said rushing to the desk grabbing a needle and to the cabinet grabbing some kind of medicine, 

"What is that?" I asked 

He shook the bottle turning it upside down putting the needle in it filling up the needle slightly, 

"Glucagon, it's gonna help," Bruce said 

He lifted her shirt to put it in her stomach and that's when we saw them, the bruises, some darker than others, some just starting to heal, 

"What the hell?" I said 

"We'll worry about it later," Bruce said injecting her with the medicine 

                                                  Cody POV 

Beep, Beep, Beep, 

Did I pass out? I thought 

Beep, Beep, Beep, 

Is my alarm going off? I thought 

My eyelids slowly flutter open, I see blinding lights, I blink a few times, 

I turn my head slowly, 

Am I in a hospital? I thought 

I turned it the other way and see a desk, No I'm in Bruce's lab in the tower, how the hell did I get here, 

I sit up taking all the wires off of me, Taking the IV off, I stand out of bed only to face plant and take a few things with me that was next to the bed on a tray, 

"That was graceful..." I mumbled 

I guess Drinking six bottles of whiskey is a bad idea being a diabetic, I thought 

I tried to stand and started to sway, I was about to fall again, but was caught, 

"Easy kid," I heard Tony's voice 

"Get Peter he has.." I slurred 

"We know kid we gave you some, come on" He said picking me up like I weighed nothing 

Laying me back in the bed, sweat covering my entire body, so badly the stickies to the monitors were having a hard time staying on my skin as Tony tried to put them on, 

"I guess this is sort of a.... sort of... payback for helping you..." I said with shallow breathing 

"Hey, don't joke around like that kid, this is serous," He said 

"Your sugar levels would have went any lower you wouldn't have woken up," He said putting the IV back in my arm, 

"It's a cruse really... from my mom's side..." I said with shallow breath, 

"Cody we really need to talk," Tony said 

"About what, Me being on the lamb for a few weeks.... or you being my father?" I said with shallow breathing 

"So you know," Tony said 

"Yeah, she told me a few days before she died," I said 

"Cody I swear if I would have known," Tony said 

"I know..." I said 

Suddenly the door opens, 

"Cody.." Peter said hugging me, 

"Eww your sweaty," He said 

"Love you too Pete," I said 

"Why'd you do that know you were diabetic?" Peter asked 

Both Tony and Peter looked at me, 

"Just wanted to forget," I said with shallow breathing, 

"look kid we all want to make memories disappear but that's not the way to do it, sure it will make everything better for a little while but your gonna wake up the next day with a massive hangover and the same problems," Tony said 

"Don't worry first and last time I'm ever drinking," I said 

"Good," He said chuckling, 

"I'm gonna go find Bruce and I'll be back," Tony said 

I nodded weakly, 

Tony walked out, 

"Thank you," I said 

Peter looked at me, 

"For you know," I said 

He smiled at me, 

"Anytime," He said kissing my cheek and walked out soon I found myself slowly slipping into sleep again
