Where: Somewhere downtown

They had been out shopping for the baby, and because of Remy's new promotion at work. Sophie had gone home to hang out with her friends or whatever she was going to do while her parents stayed out, enjoying time to themselves, apparently. They were walking down the street when Remy realized that they were near the bank that was part of the hospital.

"Oh hey.. I need to go check on the deposit box in here for Dr. Cuddy.. since we're here, do you wanna do it now? I mean I wasn't supposed to until Monday, but we're already here.." she asked him, sticking her hands in her pockets.

He'd just looked up to see where they actually were since they'd been walking a few blocks, hand in hand. Tony's mind was currently on the idea of calling Sophie to make sure she hadn't scratched his car to hell and back. He'd actually let her borrow his Aston Martin, and he physically winced at the thought of her wrecking it. "That's alright with me. Go ahead and get it out of the way." He walked a little ahead of her and pulled the glass door open for her, smiling as she walked past.

He was proud of her for her promotion and even if she didn't think she'd done anything to deserve it, she'd done a lot there, even gone back to work when she knew she didn't have to.

Remy figured that Sophie was a lot of things, but she didn't think she'd ever want to make her father that angry about wrecking the car. Or being hurt. Despite her mother being a doctor. "Thanks.." she smiled at him and headed inside with him. She got into the line and waited until she got up to the guy behind the window and said that she needed to open up one of the deposit boxes. The guy then lead her and Tony to the back where they were located.

Of course back there, they didn't know that some guy was going to come in with a gun. Or a couple of guys anyways.

It was generally like him that when something didn't directly involve him or require his participation, he didn't pay much attention. He followed them into the back of the bank where the deposit boxes were held, his hands tucked in his pockets. He was surprised that he was having an easy time not being noticed while out tonight. That movie was out and he knew that guy looked a lot like him so he'd been waiting to be attacked by some fan. He'd already had a run-in with people when he'd gone out earlier that day to look for a part for his project.

Remy had put whatever needed putting in the safe deposit box when the guy with them abruptly looked flustered and said he'd be right back and left them alone. She hm'd, but shrugged it off and put the stuff back into the deposit box and locked it up. "Okay.. all set.. I bet this is stuff in here to blackmail House with.." she teased. She wouldn't be surprised. "Ready?" and then there was noise. Some yelling. She blinked, "What the.." and immediately went for the door, though she was cautious, peeking her head around the side.

"Oh, I bet Cuddy has plenty to blackmail House with, she just chooses not to." Cuddy and House was an odd relationship from what he gathered from Remy. "Yeah, ready to hit the cl--" and his words were cut off by the yelling he heard. He recognized those kinds of sounds. He'd seen his fair share of it in the past. And he felt guilty because the only thing that mattered to him at that moment was that nothing happened to Remy or their baby. Fuck everyone else. "Get back from the door," he said as he pulled her away from it, putting himself between her and the entrance to the room just in case someone came around.

She didn't really know what was going on except all of a sudden Tony was pushing her back and standing in between her and the door way. But it was a bit too late, even for a protest from her. Whoever it was holding up the bank had seen them. They shouted something about not being told there were other people. And then the guy shot the manager in the stomach and yelled out for the two of them to come into the foyer of the bank and to not make any sudden movements, and to put up their hands. Remy did so, but stayed behind Tony, despite wanting to help the man who was now bleeding all over the floor.

He swallowed and flinched at the sound of the gunfire, closing his eyes at first before he reopened them, something akin to pure hatred burning in them when he stepped out of the room and headed towards the foyer like they'd commanded. His hands were up but were balled into tight fists, and he always kept his body between her and them. There were three he saw, each with a weapon of their own. Those men were lucky he couldn't get to his suit or he'd have already beat them into the ground.

"Let her take care of him," he said, indicating the manager bleeding out. He didn't want to watch this man die because he'd been trying to keep the two of them safe. "She's a doctor."

The man that had shot the manager shook his head, "No way."

"If he dies, that's murder. Do you really want to go to the gas chamber? Because you're not gone yet. Which means you're probably going to get caught," Remy piped up.

She got a glare and a gun pointed at her for her trouble but then he gestured to the guy on the floor with his gun. "Fine, but no shit."

Remy gave Tony a look, "Try not to do anything.. foolish.." she whispered in his ear and then went over to the man lying on the floor. "I need stuff.. can I have someone help me?"

"No!"

"Okay okay.." she took off her own jacket and pressed it against the wound and sighed. The man was sputtering and nearly coughing up blood. "Can I have a knife?"

"If you can find one.."

She looked around, and finally some other guy said he had a pocket knife and scooted it over to her. "Does anyone have alcohol? Come on.. you can't work at a bank and not have booze.."

"Behind the teller's desk.."

So she got up to go find it.

Right. That was asking a lot of him there. All he could see was the fear in the eyes of the people there pressed on the floor, worrying they were all going to meet the same fate as the manager. Remy could easily see the tension in his jaw as she worked on him.

"Let them all go. You can have me instead." Obviously the guys didn't understand who they had in their midst. "They're just people. I can give you whatever it is you want."

"Bullshit. We got what we wanted."

"This bank doesn't have nearly as much money as I have. Plus, you see that car out there?" And Tony pointed in the direction of the suped-up Audi. "I fixed it. It can get up past 200 on an open road."

"You some kind of millionaire?" one asked.

"I'm Tony Stark, billionaire engineer and inventor, you moron."

The three exchanged glances until one spoke up, "Yeah they can get the fuck out of here. Moneybags here can get us out of here with a wad of cash."

"Just don't touch her." And he watched as two of the guys ushered the hostages to their feet and started marching them towards the door.

As Remy searched for the bottle, she told the guy on the floor to hold the jacket to his stomach as tightly as he could. Finally she found it and raced around to the other side. She so didn't want Tony to be a hostage, but she knew he could protect himself.

"Hey.. you tell them out there we need an ambulance. And a first aid kid, and to call Kent Memorial." she called to the people who were being ushered outside.

She tore open the guy's shirt the rest of the way and dipped the knife into the bottle of alcohol. It wasn't the most sanitary but it would do. Then she handed the bottle to the guy. "Drink it. Because this is going to hurt. A lot. But I've got to get the bullets out of there.."

With her knees, she went to hold him down while she started to cut open the guy's stomach.

Once the hostages were in the clear, Tony kept looking back at Remy who was working hard at trying to fix the guy. There were three of them against him, and Tony was quickly trying to form a plan to incapacitate them all. He didn't have kind of weapon of his own, and he couldn't build anything to use in a matter of seconds. Well, they wouldn't let him get to anything he could use now that they figured out who he was.

"You're going to have to let them go. That guy needs medical attention, and if he dies, you're fucked, pal."

"Shut the fuck up, playboy! You're going to come with us, give us some money and we're gonna take that car..."

"The fuck you say. That's my favorite car. It took me six months to tune that engine to go that fast." Then the guy swung the gun on him. Tony was just getting more and more pissed off at this.

"I'll just shoot her ass and I bet you'll--" and the guy's jaw made a cracking sound as a punch came out of nowhere and landed on the guy. Tony's hand came back bloodied, but he kept hitting the guy in the face, hearing bone crack with each swing. A sudden sting and fire ran down his arm as he looked and saw one of the others had come back and shot him in the shoulder. With the one guy down, Tony made for his gun and grabbed it, swinging it at the other and shot at him, clipping him in the leg and taking him down. Without thinking, he ran towards that guy and hit him across the face with the gun in his hand, effectively knocking teeth out.

Before she really knew what was going on, there was fighting, and shooting and Remy winced, doing her best to stay out of the way but mostly she was scared and looking towards Tony when she should be trying to save this guy's life. She looked down at the guy, "You look.. I mean.. you .. pay attention to him, I'll pay attention to you. You tell me if.. he.." she couldn't even say it.

There wasn't really time to be messing around.

She cut into the guy's stomach and the man kind of screamed. There wasn't any kind of anything for her to get the bullet out except just her hands. "Okay okay.. breathe for me.." the man took a drink, but kept his eyes on Tony.

She used her hands to dig around in the incision she'd made, trying to find the bullet. She found it, and pulled it out but the guy was hemorrhaging too much. His eyes rolled back and she could feel his heart slow to a stop.

"Goddammit.." she muttered as she went to try and get his heart started again.

Tony had just stood up from the ground when the last guy came through the door, meeting face to face with the end of Tony's gun. "Get over there and help her with that guy," he said, holding his hand out to take the gun from the man as he pressed the barrel to his temple. He handed it over and Tony pitched it behind the counter so it was irretrievable and worked to pull his cell phone out of his pocket to call for help.

He was still bleeding, though he managed to call for an ambulance and the police before he put the phone away. He put the gun in the waistband of his pants and pulled off his jacket, giving it to Remy for her to use so he could inspect his own wound. At least it was clean through, but he'd need some medical attention soon.

Oh right, like the guy was going to help her. She was too busy worrying about starting the other man's heart. Then she leaned down and checked for the man's breath. No breath. Great.

"Okay.. look you're going to have to give him CPR. You have to."

"No fucking way, lady."

"Do it, or I'm going to jam this scalpel up your ass or I'll cut your dick off. And I'll make you choose. Do it."

"Fine fine.. "

"When I tell you." she gave a couple more compressions to his heart and then told the man to breathe into his mouth and pinch his nose and bend his head back. When the guy did so, blood came out of the guy's mouth.

"Fuck.. fuck.. that's not good.. okay.. switch with me.. four compressions right here.." she grabbed the guy's hand and put it on the right spot. "He's not gonna make it out of here.. is the ambulance outside?" she looked up at Tony.

"Whenever they get here, I need.. I'm gonna have to open him up here or he's gonna die.. I need sterile equipment though.." she told him.

"It's on its way as far as I know. I could have driven him there faster in the car," then he watched as the blood ran out of the guy's mouth and he vaguely wondered if he'd done that when he was lying on the operating table dying.

There was a siren outside followed by several flashing blue and red lights. "Finally, the can come get you and your two asshole cohorts," he said angrily at the guy on the floor. He'd been worried so much about Remy and the manager that Tony had forgotten he was bleeding himself as the sharp pain in his shoulder quickly reminded him as EMTs and police officers filed into the building. Tony pointed out the two robbers lying on the ground bloodied from his brand of justice and handed over the gun before telling them about the other.

Just as the cop took the gun, he faltered, his face getting pretty pale as he sank down to his knees. He heard the officer yell about him being shot before he lost consciousness.

Remy was too busy trying to get the other guy under control when she heard a loud thump and turned around to see Tony crumpled up on the floor, "Tony!" she yelled, and pretty much abandoned the guy on the floor and went over to him. It was just natural to do so.

As she bent down beside him, she looked over at the EMT's, "He can't be moved yet," she said about the guy on the floor. "But I'm a doctor.. do you guys have.." she didn't even need to finish, one of the guys nodded and raced out to the ambulance to grab some stuff.

Meanwhile, she propped up Tony's head in her lap and tried to prod him awake, "Come on..get up.. please? I need you to wake up.." she couldn't cry, there was too much at stake, even if she really really wanted to.

It took a few minutes before she was able to rouse him into consciousness enough to respond to her. He was pretty pale by now, and the pain in his shoulder was worse than before. He could barely move his shoulder now. "Ow..." he moaned as he moved his head. When he finally managed to focus on who was holding him, he saw tears rimming her eyes, "Oh hey...hey...don't cry. It's just a flesh wound," he said, trying to get her to smile a little.

That so wasn't good, and she knew it. He was losing blood and that was bad, but the guy next to him really was going to die. "Not when you're that pale Tony.." she looked at his shoulder. "The bullet didn't go through.. it's in there. And I've got to get it out but.. he needs me.. so I need you to stay awake okay? And you tell me if you start seeing black spots or you think you're going to pass out okay? Come over here.. come on.. he's gonna die if I don't help him right now.. I can't do that if I'm worried about you.. so try and sit up? I know it's hard.. I just need you to stay with me."

He nodded his head as best he could and struggled to sit up, mustering enough strength to get into a sitting position. Lucky for him, he was stronger than the average man, because anyone else would have probably stayed unconscious until they got him to the hospital. "Go...save his life. He needs you, okay?" he said, licking his lips. He put his hand to his shoulder and moved over to where she'd wanted him and sat there, slouched over a little as he tried his best to stay conscious. He'd started to unbutton his shirt and slowly peel it away so he could see how bad the wound was, wincing when the cloth stuck from coagulated blood and tugged at his skin.

One of the EMTs came over to him and helped him take the shirt off the rest of the way and started to clean and disinfect the bullet hole while Remy and the other worked on the other guy, all the while Tony struggled with staying awake.

"Just put pressure on the wound, don't move your shoulder around whatever you do. Keep it as still as possible.." she told him and then went back over to the other man. She took the case of things from the EMTs and then finally got out an actual scalpel that was clean, alcohol swabs and a chest tube.

First she had to intubate him, which meant opening him up and then sticking the laryngoscope into his airway so that she could get a better view and then took one of the tubes and slid it down his throat. "Okay.. bag him.." she told the EMT, and then went back to his stomach.

She went to close up the incision that she'd made as quickly as possible. "He's going to need surgery."

"They've already been called and are on standby.." the EMT told her, and then helped get the guy into a stretcher so they could get him in the ambulance.

"We'll be right behind you.."

"Are you sure you don't want to ride with us?"

"I'm sure.." she waved them off and then went back over to Tony. "Okay time to go.. here.." she put his arm around her shoulders. "On three okay? Unless you'd rather get into the ambulance."

He did as he was told, taking the scrapped bloody shirt and pressing it to the wound as hard as he could manage. Eventually, the EMT applied the pressure for him and stuck thick gauze to the spot and taped it until he could have the bullet removed properly.

"I can walk," he stated though that was more of a macho act before he realized he didn't have much of the strength to do it on his own. He got up from the floor with her help, wincing hard as pain shot through his arm and down his back. "Oh God..." he yelped in pain.

Helping him up to his feet, she frowned, "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry, we'll get you fixed up okay? You'll be fine.. I'll do it myself.. come on.. just lean on me, I'll be okay.." slowly she helped walk him out of the bank, telling the police they could come ask questions later. She was busy.

Outside, she stuck him into the passenger seat of the car and got in. "I know you don't like me driving but.. don't really have a choice.." she told him, starting up the car and then driving towards the hospital.

She grabbed her phone and dialed the hospital, hoping to get someone she actually knew on the line.

He couldn't help but laugh a little despite the pain he was in when she showed concern about driving his car. It wasn't like he didn't trust her with his car; the vehicle was very sensitive with all of its modifications. "I'm more worried...about bleeding all over my upholstery. Gonna be a bitch...getting this cleaned..." he joked despite how he felt.

He was laying back in the seat, his head rolling from side to side as he tried to remain conscious for her. "Sorry....I got shot....didn't want them to hurt you and...our son. How about....Anthony Edward, Jr? We can call him...Edward to keep us apart." He smiled at her, grinning broadly as he talked so she'd know he hadn't passed out on her.

Remy laughed a little, "I'm sure you can pay someone to clean the car. Or you'll just get a new one. Or we can just.. live with it.. and then get a new car after I undoubtedly have my water break and have to take us to the hospital yet again.. up to you.." at least she could joke back even if she was really worried.

"You'd better be sorry," though she wasn't actually mad about it. Just scared. "I know.. but you can't.. don't do that again okay? You don't have to be the hero all the time.." she patted her stomach slightly, "Well considering I think he just kicked my side.. I think he approves.." she smiled over at him. She was actually getting bigger lately, she was going to have to buy new clothes soon.

He slid down into the seat more and leaned his head back, staring up a the ceiling of the car. "Nonsense, this car's my baby. I wouldn't trade it for the world, bloody interior or not." He briefly closed his eyes. We don't have to drive when your water breaks. There isn't a helipad at the mansion for nothing. Though I could probably get us there faster if I push the car."

Tilting his head, he carefully reached over and placed his hand on her stomach, feeling a tiny kick. "I can't wait to see him," he said, taking a deep breath. "Are we there yet? Harder...to keep my eyes open...."

"This one and not one of the other ten cars sitting in the garage?" she smirked at him. "A helicopter? To get to the hospital? I don't even know if we have a helipad at the hospital.. I guess I can check but there will be no pushing of cars.." she gave him a look as they pulled up to the ER. She smiled a bit, "Yeah we're here.. but you're staying put. I mean it.. give me one second.. and feel free to pass out.."

She parked the car at the entrance and got out and went inside to grab a wheelchair and then brought it back up to the car to help him out of the car and into the chair. "I'm gonna have someone bring you to one of the rooms okay? And if there's no room you'll go up to my office.. I'll take care of you there.. I mean if you want.. it to be me.."

	In the time it took for her to get the wheelchair, he'd fallen asleep briefly until she jostled him awake again by trying to move him. "Whoever can do it...just...I want you to calm down. That's all. I'll be fine. Promise." Before he promptly passed out from the pain and blood loss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The nurse took him inside and wheeled him up to her office, getting everything she requested. Meanwhile Remy parked the car safely and then headed inside, checking just briefly on the man from the bank, who was still in surgery before she headed upstairs to her office and inside, seeing Tony still in the poor chair passed out.

Then she got the nurse to go get her some blood for a transfusion, and an IV and to wheel a bed into her office. While she went to do all of that, Remy washed her hands and then went to cut open his shirt so that she could get to the bullet wound. With all of the necessary equipment there, she started to wash out the wound before getting the scalpel and the forceps so that she could dig out the bullet. He'd probably wake up when she did that.

He'd moaned when he was moved to the bed, just a small indication that he wasn't dead yet, but he passed back out as she cut his shirt and washed the wounds. Only when he felt the scalpel cut into him and forceps digging around for the bullet did he scream in pain, wider awake than ever. "Oh fucking Christ! Ahhhh!" he yelled out in pan as she tried to get the bullet out, his entire arm tensing up as he did his best to push the feeling out of his mind so he didn't pass out again from it.

She held him still as he awakened rather violently, though she was trying to be as gentle as possible. "I'm so sorry.. so sorry.. as soon as I'm done I'll give you something okay? You've lost.. a lot of blood okay? So.. we're staying here tonight. I'm going to call Sophie.." she got the bullet out as quickly as she possibly could and then got out the shot and injected it into his arm. "Your whole arm's gonna be numb.. just relax.. give it a second to kick in.. I'm going to dress the wound.."

She went to get gauze while the other nurse came back and went to his other arm. Remy asked her to put in the IV and the blood for her. A moment later she came back, "How's it now? All numb?" she wasn't going to stitch the wound clean without an anesthetic.

Breathing hard, his face was twisted in pain until she gave him the shot, and he all but whimpered and nodded back that he understood what she was saying. He acquiesced to everything the nurse did, watching her only a little as she hooked up the IV and blood to him. His head was moving back and forth from the drunk feeling he had, and he could barely form a coherent thought process.

"Think so. Can't really move it," he answered. God, he'd be glad to be in his own bed and out of pain soon.

"Okay.. you .. yell if I hurt you.." she went about stitching up the wound as quickly and as painlessly as she could. If he really was numb, then she'd go ahead and wrap him up after she was done and make sure everything was fine. Then she went to get a heart monitor and everything else she'd need and hooked it up to his chest.

"Sorry baby.. I know it's a pain.. you just.. you're really pale.." and she was really worried. She kissed his forehead. "I'm going to get food.. and even if I have to feed you.. you need to eat okay?"
