Scars (7)

Chapter 7: Rule one

Warnings: angst, cursing

Tony didn't say anything he just paced in front of her and repeatedly ran his hand through his hair and over his face. Alice sat at the edge of her bed, holding her teddy bear close. Her father was angry that much she could tell she knew better and stayed quiet, waiting for him to finish collecting his thoughts and calming himself. Finally, he stopped pacing and took a few deep breaths.

"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING? WERE YOU EVEN THINKING? NO. NO, YOU OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T BECAUSE IF YOU WERE WHAT HAPPENED WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. ONE RULE ALICE ONE FUCKING RULE, AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN FOLLOW THAT" Tony was livid

Alice flinched hard and backed away until she was pressed against the headboard. Tony had never ever yelled at her before his voice had never raised in her presence. He had never been angry with her before. Tony turned his back towards her and took a few deep breaths "don't leave this room" and then he left slamming the door behind him. And then her tears began.

Alice laid down curled up with a teddy bear buried in her chest she cried and cried she choked on her cries as she tried to silence herself it pained her throat but she tried to keep herself silence. As she always did

"Ms. Stark are you alright?" Jarvis asked, such a caring machine, "Jarvis ?"

"Yes?"

"c-could you play me a s-song... Classic p-please"

"Of course, ma'am".

Alice let out a shaky sigh as the music filled her room. Silence by Beethoven. Jarvis took it upon himself to turn off the lights and open the blinds. The city lights below lit her room so beautifully in the dark. Alice took tonight to really admire and appreciated it.

"Thank you, Jarvis"

"Anything you wish Miss"

Tony stomped his way to the bar and pulled out the strongest thing he could find, it was something Russian and aged. "yo what's wrong with you?" Clint said, watching Tony pour himself a strong glass "I thought you weren't drinking around - woah" After pouring a glass, Tony brought the bottle to his lips and chugged it once finished with the bottle, Tony threw back the glass.

"dude"

Tony ignored him "Jarvis set up a flight for Alice she's going back"

"Sir, I don't think-"

"you're a computer you don't think YOU DO" Tony shouted the lost part as he stumbled into the elevator Clint followed. "Tony, what happened?"

"I gave her rules. They were simple easy to follow, but she couldn't even follow them. So she's going back."

If she had broken any other rule she would have been scolded and done with. But she had to break the rule he didn't want her to break the one rule he couldn't let her break and get away with.

"what rule did she break, come on, it can't be that bad?" Clint said, placing a hand on his shoulder. He didn't want Alice to leave. He had grown fond of her like the rest of the team. But he was also concerned for her well-being. Going back into isolation would not be good for her.

"don't act like you don't know. You were when she broke it "

"wha-"

"SHE CAN'T USE HER POWERS. She can't use her powers. She's not allowed. That was the number one rule. Number one. And she broke it so she's got to go"

"Tony"

"Nope, no, don't" Tony stumbled out of the elevator to find himself in the lab where everyone else was. He groaned and turned around, trying to leave. But the elevator closed and wouldn't open one name came to mind. Jarvis.

"Tony, what's going on?" Steve asked but Clint answered for him "he's sending Alice away because she used her powers."

In that moment the whole room was silenced you could hear a pin drop in the next you couldn't even hear your own thoughts. Everyone was arguing Tony couldn't take it anymore.

"SHE IS MY DAUGHTER... I do what I want with her. I know what's best for her." Tony said, a few tears slipped down his cheek.

"taking her away isn't best for her. Have you seen her medical observations" Bruce pulled a graph on the screen it was zig-zag but going down but towards the end, it went up "Tony, your daughter is depressed, she's mentally ill. These high points are when you visit, but every time you leave, they drop lower than before. Before she came here, Alice passed the line, and if she had seen a Therapist, they would have medicated her. Heavily. Since she's been here, she's been doing better little by little," Bruce flipped through the screen "See, locking her up isn't healthy if anything, it's damaging her mentally and emotionally."

"Thought you weren't that kind of doctor" Tony mumbled

"I don't need to be a therapist to see this. Just have to have some experience and I have more than enough experience." Tony wiped his face and sighed.

He never looked at her charts. He knew there was something wrong but never thought it was this bad. He knew she was a bit ill but he didn't know to what extent. His paranoia and protectiveness was literally damaging her health. He started to think of all the bad signs he saw but ignored them.

Touch. She shied away from touching any and everyone the only person she really touched was her father but after a while that two become uncomfortable. Talk. She didn't talk a lot she only spoke when spoken to even then her response was short and she never talked above a whisper. Crowds. The Avengers wouldn't consider themselves a crowd, but if there were more than three together, Alice always tried to hide in corners or leave too many people always made her uncomfortable. Loud sounds. Alice spent years alone in a very quiet place which lead to very sensitive hearing she avoids any and every situation involving loud sounds. Anxiety. Any and all these situations brought her anxiety which left her more alone.

What had Tony done?

"She isn't to leave her room for the next two weeks. And to leave her floor ... ever"

No one said anything. Tony was on edge and they were going to push him to do something to case more harm. This was the best they were going to get for now they couldn't complain.

"Jarvis cancel the flight"

"never booked it, sir" Tony chuckled

"one of these days I'm going to turn you off and not turn you back on"

"That would be unfortunate"
