Out of time

[msrogers]

She was getting scared. She was supposed to be back at the orphanage hours ago but a weird thunderstorm kicked up. Lightning streaked across the sky as the eight year old girl tried to make a run for it. Rain hadn't come down yet. But the winds were blowing every which way and she heard the rumble. She really hoped she made it back home before it

And out of the rumble, with a crash and a painful landing, came the frightened form of ten year old Tony Stark, who was, truthfully, about at his limit of how much craziness he could handle. As he picked himself off of the ground, he spotted Steph and... almost kind of... but it couldn't be... recognition and logic battled it out on his face. God, this was awkward.

"Uh, hi."

She jumped and screamed when she heard the loud crash into a pile of trash cans. Steph cautiously walked over and peered at the kid who seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Hey, are you all right?" she called out.

"I... I have no idea. Ow. Ow." He winced, rotating his right ankle, which he had landed on. "What just even happened? God, I hope this isn't broken, that's all I need right now... Sorry I scared you. Not intentional, trust me."

"Here, lemme help you." She offered her hand to him and winced in sympathy. "I don't know. But it sounds like you're really hurt. I'm sure Sister Agnes could bandage it up for you."
