"Everything will be ok (Y/n). I promise. Bruce and the other doctors just want to give you the once over. They aren't going to hurt you. Then when they are done, I'll introduce you to the rest of the team and show you around your new home." Tony explained, as he took a seat next to her on the bed. The lycanthrope obviously not enamoured with the notion of being poked and prodded by more people in white coats. Her hand gripping the billionaire's tightly, as Bruce, Helen and a few others made their way into the room.

"But you'll stay with me, won't you? Please. I'll feel safer if you're here." (Y/n) replied. Tony knowing that he couldn't do anything else but as she had asked. That as he looked into her pale grey eyes, he knew that it was impossible to fight against the call of the moon that lay in her beauteous orbs.

Tony had sat outside the door to the medical room all night. Shooing Bruce or anyone else away if they came close. He had thought about all the things that (Y/n) had told him. Thought about how she had been locked away in the dark for years. How she had been tortured and controlled. Experimented on and used. How she had experienced nothing but the worst for so long. The billionaire determining that she wouldn't have to go through any of that again. But he had had to agree with Bruce, when the doctor had explained that they needed to know more about their visitor. That they had never come across anything like a Werewolf before. And now that they had one just sat there, it was too good an opportunity to pass up. That, and if she could learn to control the beast that lay within her, then she might be able to help Bruce learn to control the Hulk better. And that was why the slew of doctors were now looking at the obviously nervous lycanthrope.

"Of course, I'm staying. You don't get rid of me that easy, sweetheart." Tony chuckled. Doing his best to reassure (Y/n) as he nodded for Bruce and the others to step forward.

                                                             >>------------------------------<<

"So?" Tony asked, as he finally left (Y/n)'s side. The billionaire more than interested to know what Bruce thought, as the others continued to surround (Y/n). looking between her and the tablets in their hands. Discussing their findings quietly, as the lycanthrope watched the billionaires every move.

"Well.......it would appear that, on the outside at least, (Y/n) is a perfectly normal and healthy human female. We are doing more tests on her blood, but I can tell you that we have found that her DNA strand has been altered due to the werewolf bite that she received. The lycanthrope virus is like a non-lethal mutated form of rabies. And is present on all of (Y/n)'s cells. Though other than her ability to alter her form, there appears to be no ill effects when she is like this." Bruce explained. Tony's brows furrowing as his friend turned his gaze to the tablet in his hand.

"There.....there's one more thing that we need to ask her though." The doctor continued nervously. Tony having an idea that neither he nor (Y/n) was going to like what Bruce was about to ask.

"And what would that be?"

"We need to get her to change. To take on her alternate form. We can only learn so much from her while she is like this. The real information will come when she has become the wolf. We will be able to discover what she can really do. What her true abilities are. (Y/n) said that she was able to change whenever she wanted. And given that we have facilities to contain the Hulk. I am sure that this is the safest place to find out what she can really do." Bruce explained. Tony knowing that he was right, but no sure whether (Y/n) would want to become her alter ego, just so that she could be poked and prodded a little more.

"Well, you better go and ask her then." Tony replied. A smile pulling at his lips as Bruce looked nervously over at the uncomfortable looking lycanthrope.

"Er........I think that it will be better coming from you. It's more than obvious that she likes you. And as I don't think this medical room, or anyone here would be prepared to deal with an angry werewolf if she took the request the wrong way. I think that you should be the one to say something. I'm not even sure how the Hulk would deal with her alter ego if it came down to it." Bruce confessed. Rolling his eyes as the billionaire's grin grew even wider.

"Ok, Bruce. Leave it to me." Tony agreed, as he made his way back over to where (Y/n) still sat. It more than obvious that the werewolf was happy to have Tony back by her side.

"How's it going sweetheart?" Tony asked, as he took a seat back next to her.

"Er........ok I suppose. I know that they aren't like the Hydra doctors, but anyone in white coat makes me a little nervous. Brings back a lot of bad memories, you know. Do you know if they are nearly finished with me? I'd really like to see the rest of the compound like you said. Meet the others. You said there were woods, and lake near here. I'd like to see them too. It's been so long since I've been out into the world in anything other than my wolf form. Since I was able to run. Able to roam wherever I wanted. To feel the sun on my face." (Y/n) replied, as she looked hopefully at the man by her side. Her hands reaching for his. The doctors continuing to mutter to one another, as they all looked down at the tablets in their hands.

"Yeah, nearly. It's just that..........well, (Y/n), they want to know if you will, if you'll change. It won't be for long, just long enough so they can do a few more tests. They want to see how it works when you transform. To see what you are capable of." Tony explained. His heart dropping slightly, as (Y/n) pulled her hands away from his.

"Do........do you want me to change too? Do you really want to see the creature that could have taken your life? I know that without the collar, I can control it again. That I am the one in charge of the beast. But it still scares me sometimes, Tony. The thought that if I let it get the better of me, then I might hurt people that I don't want to hurt. People that I care about. I just.......well, I just worry, that's all. I can remember some of what I did when they controlled me. Some of the people I hurt. I can remember the beast that bit me. An out-of-control werewolf isn't an easy thing to subdue. I am much bigger and stronger as the wolf." (Y/n) replied. Holding back the tears as Tony placed his hand under her chin, and raised her head so that he could look into her eyes.

"I wouldn't ask if I didn't think that it wasn't important, sweetheart. I've spoken to Bruce, and he says that they will be able to learn more about your abilities when you're the wolf." Tony told her. A small smile creeping back onto (Y/n)'s lips, as Tony brushed his thumb across her cheek.

"Alright. As long as its important. But I have to warn you Tony, I'm not quite as pretty when I'm the wolf."
