RP with Tony Stark

[dawn_is_breaking]

True to her word Dawn arrives to see Tony about an hour after she stops texting with him. She is dressed in a dark blue sweater and grey wool skirt, her nurses outfit stashed safely in her purse for later as she wants to look respectable for when she meets this Dr. Strange fellow.

The first person she sees though is Pepper and she doesn't bother saying anything, she just wraps her arms around the other woman and hugs her tightly.

"It's okay." She says softly, stroking her hair and after Pepper has composed herself again Dawn presents her with a bag of ground coffee, a fresh latte and strict instructions on where to go for her massage.

"Go on, I'll take it from here."

His heart beat is slow and soft, steadier then maybe it should be with his injuries, but it is there and real. "And I'm glad you accepted," he replied silently thanking Nat for kicking his ass before the whole fall out with Cap. Dawn got him through that difficult time slotting into the empty spaces Steve and Nat left like she'd never been gone. It had mad the final fall easy. "I never stopped caring about you either...I just got stubborn about it."

"You? Stubborn? Never...." She lightly teases and lifts her face up enough so she can kiss him softly again.

"Speaking of stubborn though, has Dr.Strange talked to you about your recovery process?"

"More than I'd like," Tony admits, "I'm not allowed to even think about a prosthetic until he gives the green light as he isn't sure how deep the burns actually went. I'm completely blind in the wrecked eye so I'm going to need some tests to figure out how it's going to affect my balance and such. I'll also need therapy to figure out how badly my leg might be damaged...so it's going to be a fun few months."

Dawn nods, glad that Strange has been so adamant about making Tony wait before letting him do anything like create or wear a prosthetic, she knows that he has a bad habit of just diving in to "fix" the problem and not fully letting himself rest and recover first.

"I'll be with you through all of it." She says and nuzzles her face back into the crook of his neck. "And what about your mental recovery? I know you hate the word 'therapy' but this time I really think it would be beneficial."

"He brought it up and so did Bruce," Tony admits, "not the biggest fan of the idea, but they've made it a condition of letting me actually get back to any form of work whatever that is going to look like. I've been in touch with the woman they found for Barnes...and she's going to find me someone given my history with him."

He's been through hell since becoming Iron Man and it's time to deal with it if he wants any sort of future. He's not going to let those they lost down by not doing what he can for himself.

"Good, I'm glad that I'm not the only one bringing this up with you." She says and then presses a few soft kisses to his neck. "And I'm happy to hear that you're open to it, it means a lot to me that you're willing to take care of yourself both mentally and physically."

"If I'm going to be with you, I want you healthy in all aspects."

"And I want to be better than I was when we were last together," Tony admits, "I know I don't have to prove anything to you, but I want to prove something to myself."

His words touch her heart and she moves even closer against him, hooking her feet around his and nuzzling his neck.

"Okay." She says softly and lays there for a bit, just listening to the soft sounds of his breathing, his heartbeat, enjoying his warmth. "I've booked myself into a nearby hotel for the next week, I'll stay longer obviously but I wanted to check in with you before I did."

[notonmyspace]

"I'm glad to know you'll be close," Tony said shifting a bit more so he can nuzzle her affectionately, "just this visit alone has done wonders for me."

[dawn_is_breaking]

"It's done wonders for me too." She says, "Being able to see you and hold you.... it's such a relief."

She falls silent again for a bit but eventually lifts her face up to look into his, smiling. "You know...Dr.Strange might have to set you up with a bigger hospital bed if I'm going to stay here with you for an extended period of time."
