Part two of Space Grape

---

I sprint into the med bay, my wings carelessly swaying behind me knocking over many poor interns on the way.

I burst through the door and run straight to Tony.

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you, I failed you. My one job and I let you get hurt. I'm so so sorry Tony." I felt very close to tears. Seeing the person I am sworn to protect lying in a hospital bed barely awake is heartbreaking.

"Kid I'm okay. You saved me, Do not let yourself think you failed me." He said it with such conviction I almost believed him. But that didn't stop my lip from quivering and tears spilling from my still golden eyes.

"I could have done something sooner." I whisper, sitting myself on the chair, wrapping myself in the silky white feathers.

"You did everything right, Peter. Everything." Tony sat up more alert than when I first bursts into the room. He looked at me with such curiosity and it took me a second to realise why. When it hit me, it hit like a truck.

"Oh...yeah I should probably explain all this." I gesture up and down my body and Tony huffs out a laugh.

"You think?"

"Basically I am your guardian angel. I was sent to earth because the angels felt a huge disturbance, something that would devastate earth's population if not stopped. I felt it tenfold, so I knew you would be in the most danger. I was the first angel to come to earth, others followed a couple of months after." Tony nodded along, eyes blown wide at the onslaught of information. I continued.

"I haven't flown in the three years I have been on earth. It's quite strange really having them out in front of mortals." My feathers ruffle, fluffing up. "But seeing you fall awoke something in me. I didn't even realise I went full angel until I got you back to the tower."

"It was pretty impressive I must say. Scared me half to death, but impressive none the less."

"Sorry."

"Peter stop apologising. You have done absolutely nothing wrong and should not feel in any way guilty for what has happened today." Tony was now sat up fully, staring at me with his large brown doe eyes.

"I'm just glad your okay. When you fell I felt something no angel is allowed to. Hate. I was so scared you had died, that I had lost you that I forgot myself. They aren't going to allow me back now."

"Stay here then."

If my eyes got get any wider then they would.

"Really?" My voice cracked pathetically but I don't care. I don't know what I thought would happen if he found out about me. Probably something along the lines of hating me because I lied to him for months.

"Of course. Peter you are part of our family, you are always welcome here."

I feel the gold ebb out of my irises as cold tears spill down my cheeks. Crying seems like a daily occorrence lately.

"Thank you." He shuffles closer and embraces me in a fatherly hug that I have come to crave. Never before has someone made me feel so accepted, so loved. Parents aren't really a thing amount angels. Fatherly live has always been a deep longing that's been forever out of reach.

Until now.

"Kid you wings are poking me." Tony laughs. I chuckle too, curling my wings into my back until they disapear. Tony breaths out in awe as he watches the cloaking take place. His expression makes me laugh harder.

"How the hell did you do that?"

"Magic!" I say, creating a literal rainbow with my hands. By the look on his face I can tell this is going to be fun.
