(Really tempted to do more Ironheart stuff after seeing all the leaks)

"Amy?" The young Nico Minoru knocked on her sisters door once again. She sighed in annoyance before opening the door. (Y/n) didn't want to look. He knew what would come next. He tried to close his eyes but they weren't his eyes, he was in Nico's body not his own.

Nico walked towards her sisters bed. She noticed the pills on her night table but didn't think anything of it. (Y/n) did. He knew what was coming but he wasn't ready.

Nico spotted the bulge in the covers. "Wake up Amy" Nico pulled the sheets off the girl and instantly screamed as she saw the dead body of her sister. (Y/n) was almost overcome by the emotions of that ran through the young Nico's mind.

The young Nico's eyes closed in fear and suddenly (y/n) was back on the couch beside Nico. "(Y/n)?" Nico gave him a concerned look. "You alright? You look more scared than I feel tired" she watched with concern as a tear fell down his cheek.

"I-" (y/n) tried to speak but the image of Nico's dead sister popped back into his mind. Her cold lifeless eyes stared into his. "Psychometry. That's my power" he looked down at his hand as it lay entwined with Nico's.

"Psychometry?" Nico asked with a confused look. "How do you know a word like psychometry when you hadn't even seen pizza until recently" (y/n) appreciated her trying to cheer him up but it wouldn't work.

(Y/n) didn't answer Nico. "I- I saw your memories" Nico quickly looked down at their hands and then back at (y/n). "I saw Amy. I felt your emotions" Nico quickly pulled the boy into a hug, she ignored her own feelings about the situation and focused on the boy. She knew how horrible it felt to look at a dead body, especially the body of her sister. And she knew exactly what she herself had felt at the time, she wouldn't wish those feelings on her worst enemy, much less her friend.

(Y/n) was to upset for his instincts to take effect and push Nico away. He instead pulled her closer. "I'm so sorry" (y/n) held Nico closely in his arms. "I knew you had lost her but I never imagined what it had felt like"

"I know. I was happy you couldn't imagine it and I'm so sorry you had to experience it" Nico rubbed the boys back as she sighed.

After another couple minutes (y/n) pulled away from the hug and let out a shaky breath. "I- I didn't expect any powers would make me feel like that"

Nico nodded in understanding. She of all the runaways understood this the most. "Powers aren't always good. It took me a long time to learn to control my staff. Sometimes it would even control me" Nico grabbed the tv remote with her free hand and held it in front of the boy. "Here. Try with this. I can't imagine it has many bad memories for you to see" Nico knew how important it was for the boy to try again, to not give in to fear and just think of your powers as bad.

(Y/n) looked at her skeptically. She just nodded and smiled. (Y/n) sighed he grabbed the remote and was suddenly in another place.

(Y/n) luckily had not seemed to possess the TV Remote. He stood in front of the tv and watched as Tony Stark in full iron man armor held the remote and switched through channels. The armored man looked right through him and at the TV. Tony stopped changing channels as he saw Loony Tunes and placed the remote on the couch.

(Y/n) was pulled out the second Tony let go of the remote. (Y/n) quickly looked at Nico. "How long was I out?"

"Short enough that I wasn't sure if your powers had done anything or not" Nico spoke as she took the remote back and placed it on the coffee table. "What did you see?"

"Iron Man watching Looney Tunes" (y/n) replied as he turned to the TV that was still playing Looney Tunes from when he had turned it on. "Guess there aren't a lot of interesting things that a television remote witnesses"

"Guess not" Nico shrugged. "Let's try and figure out how to control your power alright?" Nico took her hand back from the boy and opened the Darkhold. Her eyes skimmed the pages quickly. "Hold your hand over the table" (y/n) did as she said. "Tell yourself not to use your powers. It'll take some time but eventually your body will realize that it should only activate your powers when you will it to" Nico closed the book. "Tell yourself not to see the tables history and then touch the table"

(Y/n) took in a deep breath before doing what he was told. Once again (y/n) was pulled away. "No" he whispered, suddenly before he even had the chance to see anything (y/n) was back with Nico. "Well that kind of worked" he smiled hesitantly.

"We've got time to practice" Nico reminded the boy as she held her hand out to him so he could take it.

(Y/n) nodded. "Alright. Practice" (y/n) took a deep breath and begged his mind not to show him Nico's thoughts again. He took her hand and was pleasantly surprised when he found himself still in the present.
