Tony POV

She was screaming again. She sounded so broken. I just wanted her to be happy. I jumped out of bed and ran to her side where Pete already was.

"Mr. Stark, what do we do?! I don't want to hurt her!"

"Let's splash her face with water."

Peter got a bucket of ice-cold water. I groan.

"What were you planning on doing?"

"Dump the water on her."

"This is to wake her up, not to prank her."

I started to take handfuls of water and throw them at her. She sputters, "No! Don't hurt them!"

We back up not wanting to overwhelm her. There are tears streaming down her face and she starts sobbing.

"El, are you there? You're safe. It's okay."

"We need to get them, I can't let them get hurt."

"Whoa, kid, slow down."

"He's gonna kill them. I can't let that happen."

"He won't kill them, they're his leverage, right?"

"Yes." she starts to calm down once she realizes I'm right (of course.)

"Why don't we order some pizza and watch a movie?"

"Sure."

"Can it be Star Wars?" Peter asked excitedly.

"Fine."

"What's going on?" El asks forty minutes into the movie.

Peter launches into a monologue.

El ends up drifting to sleep. I chuckle as I absent-minded listen to him ramble.

:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:

Electra POV

We need to find them. I can't let him hurt them. They'll probably hate me for leaving them alone with him, but I can't live without them.

"Um," I'm not sure what to call him, am I allowed to call him Dad? Should I say, sir? Peter calls him Mr. Stark...

"... Dad?" his head shot up in surprise, but then he tried to blow it off like it was nothing, "that's me."

"Can we please go get them, I'm scared he'll hurt them."

He sighs sympathetically, "Let me just put my suit on-"

"Are you guys doing something?! Can I help?" Tony-Dad sighed, "Fine, kid."

:_:_:_:_:_:_:

"This is the place, we'll take care of the asshole first so it's easier to find the kids."

"Alright, Mr. Stark."

"And what do I do?"

"You're already beaten up enough, you just stay here."

I'm a little bit disappointed but relieved at the same time. I want to be there when he got what he deserved, but I don't have any special abilities to defend myself, so I guess I won't blindly rush into the fight. We were in the yard of the house and I sat down on a bench.

Tony POV

"Jarvis, scan the house for heat signatures," I order, flying above the house.

"I've spotted five heat signatures, sir,"

I looked at the visual on my screen, there were three in a basement and two in the living room.

"Jarvis are there any cameras in the living room?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hack into them and show me a live feed."

"Oh, no, has she forgotten about her dear brother?"

"P-please, no."

"I told you an hour fifty minutes ago, bud, your hourglass is running low."'

I saw a little boy, maybe eight years old, shaking and trembling at the point of a gun. This disgusting prick, what does he think he's getting out of this? Oh, that's right, he gets to keep my daughter who he has a disgusting infatuation with.

I'm locking this prick away for a long time. If I don't kill him first. I aimed at the asshole's head, careful not to hit the kid. I fired my thrusters. He fell to the ground and I rushed in to help the boy.

"Hey, buddy, You're safe now, I'll take care of this as-"

"Watch your language around my brother," Electra said boldly before bolting to her brother's side and hugging him tightly. I chuckled as she picked him up.

"Sweethe-" Electra's head turned to the side to look at him. Fear flooded her eyes.

"Shut up." I kicked the prick in the head. Spidey boy webbed him up to a chair and I lead Electra to where her other siblings where. When we got to the door she set her brother down and literally kicked the door down before rushing around to each of them. She treated them like she was their mother. She picked up the baby that'd been laying on the floor and started cradling her, "Hazel, Hazel, Oh, honey," She held the baby close to her and patted her curly hair.

I could see the resemblance between all of them, they truly looked like a family, Peter and I stood there awkwardly until she was done.

"Guys, let's get you to safety," She spoke to them all.

:_:_:_:_:_:

Electra POV

"Woah!" the triplets awed in shock of the large tower.

"So cool!" Shawn said. I held Hazel close to me while we walked into the home, "So, whos up for some pepperoni pizza?"

"Yeah!" the boys cheered in unison.

So there we were, watching yet another Star Wars movie I didn't understand.

"Can we watch death note instead?"

"Sure," my... dad said before looking it up on Netflix, he was about to click on the Netflix live-action version when I started laughing at him.

"What's so funny?" I took the remote from him and clicked on the normal anime version and we started watching it.

"I'll take this potato chip and I'll eat it!" my siblings and I burst out laughing as we watched the main character's path to insanity.

Peter and Tony just stared at the TV. I looked at the clock and realized what time it was.

"Okay guys, time to go to bed!" I announced as I shut off the TV. They all groaned. I shushed them and pointed to sleeping Hazel.

:_:_:_:_:_:

I sat back down on the couch with Tony and Peter. I was just staring off into space. I felt their eyes boring into me.

"They really make you happy, don't they?" Tony asked. I looked up and made eye contact with him.

"I mean... yeah. But most of it is an act..." I shamefully admit.

"El! Your stitches!" Peter yelled. I flinched at his tone and then looked down. Blood was seeping down my shirt from where I had stitches.

"Oh, god," I muttered.

"Come here," Tony demanded. I silently followed him. I was starting to feel a little dizzy and the room started spinning. I started stumbling and fell into Tony's back. He quickly wrapped his arms around me to keep me from falling over.

He picked me up bridal style and rushed me into a room and sat me on a table. He pulled my shirt up. All my stitches were torn open.

"Mr. Stark! How can I help?" Pete offered.

"Kid, just go get Banner." Pete nodded and bolted out of the room.

Tony POV

I grabbed a towel and held it against her wound.

"Kid, this might hurt a bit," I stated as I pressed the towel down to keep her from bleeding out. She whimpered in pain and tried to squirm away, but to no avail.

"I'm sorry!" I apologized. Banner rushed in. He ran into the bathroom and grabbed rubbing alcohol. He poured some on a towel and walked towards El with it.

"This is going to sting," He warned. I moved out of his way. He pressed it against her wound. A small scream escaped her lips and she winced in pain.

"Wow, Mr. Stark," I hear Peter mutter in the corner, "You've apologized to her twice now!"

"Shut up, kid," I say, not even looking up at him. El threw her head back and whimpered in pain. I took a clean towel and rolled it up for her to bite down on.

"Bite down on this, kid." She listened and bit down on it. It helped a little bit but she was still in pain.

Dr. Banner pulled out a needle and came towards her with it. She began trembling, so I gripped onto her hand reassuringly. She calmed down a bit until he started threading it through her.

She started squirming.

"Pete! Help me hold her down!" I hated that we were going to hold her down. But I didn't want her to get more hurt than she already was.

Pete rushed over. I held her hand while I used my other hand to pin her shoulder down. Pete did the same.

Banner sped up, trying to get done quickly. El's eyes were bloodshot, but she calmed down a tad.

"Kiddo, this is going to burn." Banner stated. She looked at him fearfully, her eyes wide as saucers. He came over with the rubbing alcohol and poured some over the stitches to clean them of any bacteria.

She bit down on the towel and screamed. Then Banner nodded his head and left. He never did like me.

She was shaking and looking at me. That's when I realized that we were still forcefully holding her down.

"S-sorry," I muttered as I released my grip on her. Pete did the same.

"Electra?" Shawn muttered as he walked into the room.

Electra's POV

I looked to see my brother, horrified, "El, wh-what happened?" He asked, his eyes glued to my many scars and bruises.

"Get out!" I demanded. My screaming woke him up. And now he'd stared at my body that I am ashamed of. "Now!"

Tears brimmed in his eyes. He ran out of the room crying and I felt terrible. I didn't mean to be so mean to him.

"Shawn!" I yelled after him. I heard him crying. I went to stand up and Peter lightly pushed me back down.

"I got it. You need to rest."

"Thank you..." He simply nodded his head and walked out.

I laid back and relaxed.

"C-can you help me to my bed?" I quietly requested. Tony looked at me and smiled.

"Of course." He put his arm around me and helped me stand up. Then he picked me up bridal style and carried me to my room. He laid me down and left. I snuggled closer to the covers and closed my eyes.
