《You're the guy my dad never shut up about? | S. Rogers [1]》24. Headaches

"Tony, shut up. You're giving me a headache" Gali rubbed her temples.
"Sorry" he apologized.
"Didn't you had one yesterday?" Steve asked Gali.
"And the day before?" Tony added.
"And the day before that?" Steve continued.
"Please, shut it" she whispered as she rubbed her temples.
"You should get that checked out" Tony plopped a French fry in his mouth.
Steve and Galilea's lunch plans got interrupted by Tony. He ended up going with them and took them to the nearest McDonalds.
"Yeah, well when I-" Gali gasped and started to breath heavily. She looked down at her hands, wide eyed, breathing heavily.
"Gali" Tony and Steve called her. There was no response, instead there was a look of pain.
"Gali" Steve called her. She let out a breath and her hands flew to her head.
"Aah!" she let out a small scream.
Tony and Steve jumped up and went to her. She has her eyes shut, grabbing her head. "Take me home" she told them "Now!"
"I'll get the car" Tony rushed out and Steve picked up Gali.
He carried her out of the place. People are starting but he ignored them as he walked out with Gali.
"It hurts" she cried.
"We'll be home soon" He assured her.
Tony was already outside with the car. He opened the back door and Steve went in with Gali. The door closed and Tony ran to the front of the car.
"It hurts!" She yelled once again.
"I'll drive as fast as I can" Tony yelled over his shoulder. At full speed but he'll drive.
He sped through traffic lights. Cars abruptly stopped and honked when the car passed. People screamed when they were crossing the street. Steve was surprised we they weren't stopped by the police.
"Mommy! Stop, stop stop!" Gali cried. What's happening to her?
She pressed herself closer to Steve and he wrapped his arms around her. From the front of the car Tony muttered "Not again"
Again? This has happened before?
"Daddy!" Gali yelled.
"Tony hurry!" Steve yelled at him.
"What do you think I'm doing!" He yelled back.
Gali was crying, mumbling things. Steve rubbed her back and whispered in her ear.
"We're almost there, Gali. Hold on"
They rushed out of the elevator and into the tower. They went to the stairs that lead to the lab, passing the few group members that are there. They stopped what they were doing and ran up to them.

"What happened?" Pepper asked when she saw Steve carrying an unconscious Galilea.
"I don't know. She had a headache, then she started to yell out for her parents. She passed out because of the pain" He quickly explained.
"We need to get her down to the lab, now" Tony ordered.
They ran down to the lab, Tony punched in the password and ran inside. "Put her on the table. Bruce, get a heart monitor, and a scanner. Also get the morphine" Tony instructed.
Steve laid Gali down on the table, while Bruce went off to get the things. She doesn't seem to be in pain anymore. She looks peaceful and pain free. But they know that something is wrong with her. They hope it isn't anything serious.
Bruce came back with the things and they immediately went to work on Gali.
"Did she had any bananas?" Tony asked.
Galilea is allergic to bananas. She gets a bad rash and her throat closes, making it difficult to breath. It also causes her pain.
"No" they replied.
"I don't think so"
"I hope not" Tony mumbled.
He grabbed a cotton ball, put alcohol on it and rubbed it on a part on Gali's arm. He grabbed a needle and poked it in her arm. It began to fill up the small vial with blood. Her blood. He took the needle out and went over to a machine.
He put the blood in a small glass square and inserted that into the machine. The screen ran some tests while Tony was checking the monitor. Bruce hooked up some machines to Gali and then he scanned her.
"She'll be okay" Kami told Steve.
"How do you know?" He asked.
"She's a Stark. Stark's have been through a lot" she explained "Good and bad. Bad-"
"Well that's weird" Tony said from his screen.
Steve turned his attention to him "What's weird?"
Tony tapped something in the screen and then turned to Bruce. "Scan her again" Bruce did and the results appeared back on the screen. "Huh" Tony breathed. He tapped the screen and started to mumble under his breath.
"What's wrong?" Pepper asked.
Tony turned the screen to a table and swiped his hand over the screen, like if he was throwing what was there on to the table. A hologram of Gali was shown.
"See this" Tony circled the left side of Gali's hologramic head.

"What about it?" Kami asked.
"Nothing. It's normal. See this is where she was experiencing more pain, and there's nothing. No injury, no trace of internal damage, no scar tissue, no anything" he explained.
"Let me see" Bruce got closer to the hologram and inspected it. He moved it around, making it bigger, smaller, rotating it. He inspected it and ended up being just as confused as Tony. "Has this happened before?"
"What, the episode that happened 20 minutes ago? Or-"
"No, no, this" Bruce interrupted Tony "The scannings and nothing appearing" he finished. Tony hesitated before answering.
"Yeah" he looked down at his shoes.
"Yes?" Steve asked. He let out a breath and looked back up.
"When Gali started... developing her powers, nothing appeared in her scans. Nothing in her brain, nothing in her blood, nothing in her body. Which is also weird because, how do you have four powers, yet, it doesn't appear in any tests?" Tony asked.
"Could it be that she's developing a fifth power?" Bruce offered.
"I don't know. She got her last power at 12. Getting a new power 14 years later?" He shook his head.
"But not impossible" Bruce pointed out.
"Can we just-"
"No" Galilea's quiet voice cut her brother off.
They turned to look at her and she's still passed out. She's moving around on the table, eyes closed but she looks like she's scared.
"No, stay away from me" she said.
"What's happening?" Pepper asked. Galilea continued to squirm around.
"Mom... they're hurting me. Leave my dad alone... no, no, no, no, no, TONY!" She yelled.
The monitors she's connected to, beeped at a fast rate. Bruce and Tony checked them and tapped things on the monitors, trying to stop them. "Leave me alone!.... please, I can't... no daddy!" She continued yelling.
"Tony what's happening to her?!" Steve snapped at him.
He was about to say something but everything around them shook. The metal carts, the tables, the books, the tools, everything was shaking. They stopped and stared at it, then everything flew to the walls. They ducked as everything flew over them.
"What the hell was that?!" Kamilla yelled.
"It was Gali" Bruce said.
At that, Gali let out the most ear piercing scream. They covered their ears and she yelled "Stop!" A strong feeling of pain went through everyone. Everything hurt. Their heads, arms, legs, abdomen, neck, everything. They were all in pain and Gali was the one causing it.
"Stop her!" Pepper yelled at Tony.
"I don't know how!"
"This is the most painful thing ever!" Kami was leaning against the wall in pain.
Tony's eyes glanced over at the screen that's against the wall and they widened "Impossible" he whispered.
Suddenly the pain stopped, the things against the wall fell to the floor with a loud crash, and Gali's yelling and screaming stopped. Steve turned to her, fearing that something bad happened to her, but what he saw was Bruce taking a needle out of her arm.
"What did you do?" Steve asked with panic in his voice.
"I drugged her" he replied.
"Is she going to be okay?"
"Yes" he nodded. Steve sighed and they all stood in silence.
"What- what just happen?" Kami looked at Tony and then to Bruce.
"Nothing like that has ever happened to her" Pepper said in a sad voice.
Tony was quiet. He didn't say anything. He stood in front of the monitor, wide eyed, mumbling under his breath.
"Tony?" Pepper asked. He didn't say anything "Tony" she tried again. Nothing.
"Anthony!" Kami yelled. He jumped up a bit and turned to the people. A look of shock on his face.
"It all makes sense" he breathed out.
"What makes sense?" Steve asked.
"The night Gali was yelling and crying" he said.
"When she had the nightmare?" Pepper asked.
"It wasn't a nightmare" Tony said "It was a memory... the same one she just had right now" he finished.
A memory? How was that a memory? What kind of memory was it?
"No. I know everything about her. She never mentioned anything like that" Kamilla protested.
"Because we replaced that memory. We made her forget what happened that day" Tony said.
"Why? What happened? What don't you want her to remember?" Steve asked. Tony looked at him with the same brown eyes Gali has.
"That was the day Gali died"
