Abby was walking, dragging her feet, fearful of what they were going to do to her next. She held her freely bleeding wrist to her chest from where they had sliced it opened, and let it drain into a cup. It still stung, but she bit back the pain. As they escorted her, she noticed that they were not going back to that room they had locked her in earlier. Perhaps they were going to let her go, and she let herself smile at the thought of that.
Her smile faded when she noticed that they had stopped at some kind of pit, and she began to panic. She rushed the nearest vampire to her and began to beg him to let her go, her effort was rewarded by the other grabbing her and throwing her in. She of course didn’t let on that she had a plan. When she landed at the bottom, she had hit the back of her head upon the ground. She reached her good hand back to feel the injury, and pulled it away with something wet and sticky. ’Great. Not only am I bleeding from my wrist, but I have a head wound too.’ She thought to herself, and scooted in the nearest corner.
Abby sat there for a few moments trying to decided on what to do next. She deemed it necessary to tend to her wounds first. So she ripped the bottom of her now dirty dress, and wrapped the makeshift bandage around her wrist tightly. She does not need to bleed to death waiting on someone to rescue her. She then laughed as her good hand brought out the cell phone she had took of the vampire she was begging to, and stared at it. ’Who am I going to call? Daddy of course, but what is his number?’ She asked herself as she stared at the phone. She had a great plan. Steal a phone and call her father, but there was one little hiccup. She doesn’t know his number, what a genius she turned out to be.
She then wondered how he found her the first time, and knew that he might have been listening to police scanners. She sighed again, but she doubt that the police would actually come out this far just to look into a frightened little girl’s call. Then she had it. She called information and asked to be connected to Stark Industries. Someone was bound to answer the phone there, as it does business around the globe. When the other end picked up, she requested security. They should have her father’s private number. ”Stark Industries. This is Officer Gibson, how may I help you?” The female answered on the other end, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Now comes the hard part.
”Connect me to Mr. Stark’s private number, please.” Abby requested with her breathing a bit heavy. When the lady began to argue that she couldn’t do that, she was getting a bit frustrated at her situation. ”Listen, I need to speak with Tony Stark. I promise you, that you will not get in trouble for connecting me to him. You most likely will get a raise and a promotion.” She hoped that would be enough to get the lady to connect her. She closed her eyes when she was asked for her name. ”Abigail Stark.” She answered, and she could hear the surprise over the line. A surprised silence that is, but it was soon followed by sounds of someone hurriedly making a phone connection.

After Lorna had safely deposited Pepper at her home, completely against her will as she felt the woman should go to the hospital, she was back in her little car, getting ready to head out of the city and back home. Finally. Her thoughts were focused on how to get out of her little date with Tony Stark the next morning. After what she'd found out from the woman who ran his company, she really just couldn't bring herself to go out with him. However, she didn't want to burn all her bridges because that would mean never seeing Abby again.
It was a mess and she almost wished she'd never met Pepper that night but then again, she also was happy that she wasn't going into something blindly. It just seemed that she happened to be a jerk magnet.
Her mind was totally absorbed in her thoughts when the radio station she was semi-listening to came on with a breaking news report. Honestly, Lorna didn't care what the latest crisis was. She was tired, irritated and probably was a bit too inebriated to be driving safely but there was no other way to get home. That was, until she heard Abby's name mentioned.
Pulling off to the side of the road, allowing traffic to pass her by at their breakneck speeds, she turned the radio up and listened.
Lorna wished she could replay the message to make sure she'd heard right. Abby had been kidnapped? From her father's party? By what appeared to be vampires? After what had happened in the bar, Lorna wondered if the two were connected. Pepper had been at the party too. So that meant the man who'd attacked likely had been a part of the plan.
Her head began to throb.
She did not save that girl just to have her kidnapped by supposed vampires. Hell, she didn't even believe in vampires to begin with. That was just utter nonsense.
Opening the car door, she abandoned her vehicle, making sure to magnetically seal it up so that no one could get into it without her and then ran down the embankment of the side of the freeway. She wasn't too far out of the city yet, could still see the outlines of the lit up buildings in the background. Once she was out of sight of the cars, she took to the air, using the magnetic currents to carry her back to the city. It was a much quicker trip then leaving had been.
She had no idea where to even start. It was like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. But she'd been around Abby enough to recognize her magnetic aura. If she was even still in the city. So Lorna started at the waterfront and began to fly over buildings. Luckily, heroes weren't too uncommon in the city and hopefully anyone who spotted her would think she was with SHIELD.

'Sensor output at maximum' the suits on board AI stated to Tony as he command for it to go higher and pick out Abby's signature out of the crowd. "Dammit Abby where the hell did you get taken to" Tony told himself as he flew over the city, the people below clapping. Little however did they know he wasn't in the mood for a little spot light at the moment. His thoughts where fully on his daughter and how to rescue her at the moment, or even better how to find her. He was already flying for a few minutes, and there was nothing, no sign what so ever where she could have gone. But that was sort of to be expected, in New York City, you'd be lucky enough to even find a elephant let alone a young teenager. However he had what most people didn't, a high tech suit of armor that could pick up a needle dropping in the middle of all the clustered noise down below.
Before long however Tony set down on a building a little ways into the city as he watched the people below. What he was actually doing however was listening into the secure police channels to seeing if any at all happenings were going on. He was hoping that possibly something might give him a lead and point him to the right direction. However he wasn't having any luck, and with that he felt his temper rise, then without much thought hit the brick entrance to the roof, leaving a hole into it. He could feel the need for a drink, something to knock him back a few, calm him down or something. Tony could feel his throat get dry, he needed a bottle of whiskey about now, but he needed to find Abby. He wasn't going to give up, not yet, he was going to make sure she got home safely.
Than after a few moments, Tony felt as he stood on that roof for a little to long and activated his pulsors on his boots and took off. The sounds of his pulsors could be heard echoing out into the city. He wanted to break through the barrier, but he couldn't calculate how that would help him. Plus he would possibly break a lot of windows and blast the ear drums of the people below. Tony needed a lead, maybe other heroes might have seen her he thought to himself. And before long he saw someone, the suit zoomed in on the figure hovering over the buildings. It was Lorna, he hasn't seen her in just a few hours, however it was the only shoot he had at the moment. And with out much thought he jetted it towards her, the pulsors on his boots making a stream of blue blurry light behind him. With in seconds he made it to where she was and hovered with her in stable flight.
"Lorna, I have to ask you did you see a man come by anywhere here carrying Abigail with him" he asked her. It wasn't a real descriptive question but it was all he got, well not all but time was of the essence. Every second that past Abby was in danger, and he wasn't going to keep her waiting longer than she had to. But before Lorna could answer him, he cut the com-link between him and the outside. One the outside he was just hovering there, sort of like a metal statue, but in fact he was taking an urgent call. The security at his office was calling him and then without Tony having to say anything, he told him that Abby was on the other line. "Your going to get one hell of a raise" Tony said as his on board AI patched Abby's call to him. "Abby are you alright!" he yelled out, and within those few short words he had a fix on her location already through the satellites.

Abby felt her eyes wanting to close from the blood loss she had suffered already. She needed to stay conscious for her father to know where she is. She figured that with her call to him, he would be able to track her and get her location. Something she wouldn’t be able to tell him, and wondered if JARVIS would be able to help him track her down. She slowly shook her head to clear it from wanting her to give in to the urge to pass out. She knew her father would come get her, but what she didn’t know was that her kidnapping was already all over the press. Nor would she know that Lorna would hear it, and be looking for her as well.
”Abby are you alright!”
Her father’s voice yelled over the line, and she cringed pulling the phone slightly away from her ear. When she heard his voice fade from the device, she returned it back to the side of her head. ”No, not really. My wrist is bleeding pretty badly, and I seem to have a nasty head wound. Plus, my dress ruined!” She answered him with her breath a bit heavy in an effort to stay awake. She swallowed and allowed her fear to come through her voice as she continued to talk to him. ”Daddy, come get me. I’m scared… They threw me into a pit…” She pleaded with him, and waited on him to respond to her.
There was only one person Abby wanted to see in the world at that moment, and she hoped that he was on his way. She swallowed her tears as she huddled in the corner, holding her knees to her chest, and listening to the stolen phone. She only hoped that he would get to her soon.

She thought there was something. It was faint, though, and honestly, given how faint it felt, it could have been anyone. Heck, it could have been anyone from the bar she'd just been at and hadn't realized she'd imprinted their magnetic aura. However, Lorna wasn't one to simply let it go so she moved toward where it felt like it was coming from. Yes, definitely something but was it Abby?
She was about to move again, farther down the block when she felt a very large, very strong composite of metal moving toward her. The fact that it was moving and while it felt large, it wasn't the size of a plane. Besides, if anyone was flying this low, there'd be hell to pay from the FAA.
Turning, Lorna saw what was perhaps the last thing she needed to deal with at that very moment. Granted, she was looking for his daughter so the chances of not running into Iron Man were rather bleak, but she'd still held out hope that he'd just go find Abby somewhere else. Or go consult his computers or something.
However, she held her tongue as he quickly asked her if she'd seen a man come by carrying Abby with him. Lorna, having no idea that she'd just been cut off, replied. “No but I heard about the kidnapping on the radio and thought to see if I could help. Have you heard anything or have any leads?” she asked, concern filled her voice.
Not that he was paying any attention. In fact, it didn't take long for her to realize that Tony wasn't even looking in her direction anymore. Well, forget him. She wasn't about to let that electromagnetic signature out of her “sight” so she moved away from him, following it on her own.
Continuing to mutter, simply because it made her feel better, she said to herself, “I should just drop you and Cable both in the Central Park pond. No, wait, how about the Atlantic. I'm sure the salt water would do wonder for both your metal parts.”
That's when she felt it stronger. Now she was almost positive it was Abby. But what sort of place was this? The building felt hollow almost, but that didn't make any sense. All buildings had metal beams and rods that held them together. This was just something to add to the confusion of her night.
Not realizing that Tony had already located his daughter, she touched down to the ground, noticing the very obvious lack of people around. Moving to a window, she tried to peer inside but it was rather filthy. Oh, well, might as well do things the hard way. She reached for the door handle, ready to turn it and let herself inside.

Tony wasn't paying much attention to the outside of his suit, there was no need anymore any how. All he cared about was that Abby was on the line and she seemed fine for the most part. He didn't know that Lorna was talking to him, and at the moment that wasn't important. Not to say she wasn't important but the situation at hand was a little bit more up the ladder. But than Abby told him what her condition was, he grew a bit angered, but he was still relieved that she was okay. He then continued to listen to her plead to get her out of the place she was. Of course he wasn't going to waste time, he was going to rush as fast as he could. Tony then turned on the com-link to the outside of his suit and took notice that Lorna was gone, however it seemed she went in the direction where Abby was. He wasn't going to wait any longer, with in a few milliseconds his pulsors on his boots fired up and he jetted across the sky at the safest mock he could go.
Not to long from where he was, he was coming in to the location where the signal for Abby was coming from. "Don't worry Abby I'm on my way, and I'm going to save you I promise". Then he landed next to Lorna in his usual manner after a flight, with one knee on the floor with an arm extended. Rising up he didn't much pay attention to Lorna however, his mind set was on Abby and making sure to get her to a hospital as soon as possible. He didn't know that Lorna was about to opened the door before he busted through the wall. The Arch Reactor on his chest glowed a bright blue, along with where his eyes where. He then saw some people scurry about everywhere, either running for there guns or something.
Then gun shoots could be heard being fired at him, along with the sound of ricocheting bullets. Tony clenched his fist and punched a guy right clear through a wall. However he wasn't here to play with these guys he was here to save Abby and that was what he was going to do. He started to walk tracing the signal of the cell phone to the pit where they through her into.

Abby didn’t hear anything else on the line, so she disconnected the line. However, she knew that if she turned off the phone her father wouldn’t be able to trace her. So she kept it on, and near her. Perhaps he could pinpoint her exact location within a few feet, she didn’t fully know. She wasn’t going to turn it off in any case. However, it wasn’t long before she finally gave into passing out. It wasn’t a normal blacking out, but just one look at her could tell that she wasn’t fine. She didn’t know how long she had been out of it, before sounds came from above her.
It sounded like someone tried wrecking the structure down, and then there was the unmistakable sounds of gunfire. Those were closely followed by sounds of ricocheting projectiles that seemed to bounce off of a metal surface. Her eyes grew wide as she realized what she was hearing, and a weak smile pulled at the corner of her lips. She somehow managed to get her smile a bit bigger when she heard someone get thrown through a solid wall. Her father was there, and it sounds like he wasn’t messing around.
Abby somehow managed to look up two stories to the opening above her. She wondered how the phone had gotten a good signal like it had this far underground. However, she didn’t dwell on that thought too much longer. She could feel her anxiousness creep up on her, and she took a deep breath in preparation for her next move. ”DADDY!” She tried to scream, but she wasn't as loud as she normally was. Her voice had a hint of hope, but still held her underlying fear. She knew that he could find her even if she wasn’t as loud as she thought she would be. What she didn’t know was that Lorna was there as well, trying to save her too.

Just as she was about to turn the handle to open the door, Tony landed and created a hole through the wall. Okay...she supposed that worked as well. So much for just using a door, probably too mundane anyway.
She immediately erected a barrier around her. The bullets from the guns would simply stop before they even came close to touching her. It would take very, very special bullets to kill her that way. And the chances of them having those bullets? None. With a wave of her hand, she disarmed them all, twisting the guns and mutilating them beyond repair. She heard a few whispers about stinking mutants and rolled her eyes. “Sorry, boys, someone beat you to that one tonight,” she replied as she moved away from them.
Lorna could feel Abby easily now and knew exactly where the girl was. She turned her back on Tony and flew down the hallway, coming to a very large pit. No wonder the building had felt so weird. No one put pits in the middle of buildings for any sane reason.
Flying down into the hole, she came to a stop beside the girl. Her natural green glow that accompanied her when she used her powers lit up the area and even in the dim lighting, she could tell that Abby wasn't well at all. Gathering the girl into her arms, she whispered into her ear, “Sweetie, we really have to stop meeting like this.”
Then she held onto her as she lifted the two of them up and through the hole.
If any of the men remained, Lorna didn't see them. Instead, she stopped directly in front of Tony and handed Abby over to him. She only paused for a moment, watching the father and daughter moment before she began to walk back toward the makeshift entrance. Her work was done and honestly, she'd never felt less needed in all her life. She'd been absolutely no use here, Tony wold have found Abby himself and she could have kept driving home where she could crash into her bed and forget that Mr. Stark even existed.

It wasn't much of a battle when Tony busted through the wall, it was more of a helpless effort to stop him. But all Tony was doing was trying to see where his daughter was and get her some help quickly. But the people of course weren't going to stop, but neither was Tony. Seriously however, who was expected to win, a bunch of people with guns. Or the guy with a hi-tech suit that could burn holes through walls. Though of course that didn't stop them from trying. Whatever they were doing must have been important for them to but themselves in harms way. Although that could be said to most villains out there that do what they do. But then again it's Heroes like Tony and Lorna that are there to stop them.
After a few moments of firing, the shots stopped and it came to no surprise why they did. Tony looked over and the AI started to scan the electromagnetic waves that surround her. He than turned his head back to the thugs as there guns shot right from there hands onto the floor. After that he noticed that Lorna whizzed by him, he guessed that she was going after Abby. Before however he could go too, the thugs started to try and attack him while in the suit. He wasn't in the mood to play around and started to beat them up. Though he held back most of the suits capabilities, he didn't want to hurt them that badly.
When the thugs were dealt with, it seemed enough time had passed for Lorna to pick up Abby and bring her to him. As Lorna came in front of him and handed Abby over his separated apart. Tony hugged Abby tightly, but not enough to crush her from the force of the suit. "We really need to get you a watch dog" he said as he smiled towards the wounded girl. Before long however he noticed that Lorna was moving away from them and out the hole he made. He turned to Lorna, "Hey, thanks for your help" he said.

However, the first person Abby saw was not her father but Lorna. The woman was the second person she wanted to see, and knew that she was in good hands. The dim area was aglow in green light from the mutant, and she could see some details to the pit. There was bones strewn about the ground, and it was a miracle that she wasn’t sitting on any of them. She was also able to see the dark spot on the ground from where she had hit her head earlier, and the spot of her blood there marking it. She slowly nodded her head in answer to Lorna’s suggestion of their meetings. She clung to her as she lifted the two of them up out of the pit and landed in front of her father.
She was handed over to him, and he in returned hugged her tightly. Not so tightly that he would crush her, but she could tell that it was more of a ‘I’m relieved that you’re back’ hug. She of course semi returned it, mindful of her injured wrist. She wasn’t sure if he knew she was or not, but she felt safe now and that is all that matters. She smirked at his suggestion of a watch dog, and felt her eyes trying to drop closed on her. She attempted to force them to stay open and watched as Lorna tried to leave. She heard her father thank her for helping to find her, and she peered around the armor to attempt to get a better look.
”Lorna, I couldn’t have asked for a better friend.” Abby told the woman, and then her body couldn’t continue to take commands from her mind. She passed out, hard, from the blood loss. Her makeshift bandage was no longer the color of her dress, but now nearly deep red. Her skin was of course pale, and her heart rate tachycardic.

She wasn't a hero. This wasn't exactly what Lorna wanted to do with the rest of her life. She helped because it was her nature to be helpful and to give where she could but she didn't want her name known to everyone and her identity to be synonymous with Polaris. Lorna simply wanted to finish school, work in her chosen field for a few years then possibly become a teacher. She was definitely not a super hero.
So why did she keep finding herself in these situations, getting involved with people who didn't need her and possibly putting her life on the line. Not that men with guns were much of a threat to her but it was the principle of the thing. She'd even stepped up her training at the mansion. It was as if she was trying to prove that Cable's predictions of her being a valuable member of the X-Men were right but why? It wasn't what she wanted. Was it?
All of this was running through her mind as she carried Abby out of the hole and toward her father. She was drawn to the girl for some reason and she had no idea why. They'd only met that morning but there was just something about her that made Lorna want to wrap her up in an electromagnetic bubble and keep her there until she was old enough to take care of herself. It could have to do with the fact that this was the second rescue in one day but Lorna felt it was more then that. Just what, she didn't know.
And probably never would know.
As she handed Abby over to her father, she realized that there was blood on her hand from where she'd held onto Abby's head while carrying her. She had already turned to leave but then paused when she realized what it was and where it'd likely come from. Lorna was already turning when Tony thanked her. She ignored him for the time being and was about to speak when Abby added her own thanks.
Then the girl passed out, falling over slump in Tony's much larger arms. Lorna looked from the girl's horribly pale face to the blood on her hands then walked back to them, quickly. Holding her hand up to him, she simply said, “Abby's blood.”
With that, she began to gingerly feel around her scalp and almost instantly her fingers felt the wound. It felt terrible, not to mention it was still very wet with warm blood. Looking back up at Tony, concern filling her eyes, she added, “You need to get her to a hospital now. I'm no doctor but even I know that this is more then a small bump on her head. Who knows how much blood she's lost already.”

Tony looked to Abby as she told Lorna her little statement of she couldn't have asked for a better friend. But than after that Abby feel out unconscious in his arms, he guessed from the lack of blood. However he knew this after he told Lorna thank you for helping him with Abby. His AI already checked the wounds she sustained, and the computer determined she would survive. Though she will need some medical attention now before she lost anymore blood. Before he could go he noticed that Lorna approached him and Abby while she was looking at her hand. It seemed she noticed that Abby was bleeding as well and presented it to him, though again he already knew. Sort of the great thing of having a AI that can predict certain situations immediately. She then reached around to the back of Abby's head, though he already knew it was back there.
"I know Lorna, my AI told me everything already, though I have a feeling that your upset at me for something. I've seen that look from a lot of women trust me, again thanks for helping with Abby". Tony than went around her and held on to Abby tightly so she couldn't fall off in the flight. His repulsors in his boots started to kick in and he jetted off quickly to the nearest hospital to get Abby medical attention. Tony wondered what Lorna might have been pissed at him for, though it could have been many reasons, to many to count. But that wasn't the point at this time, the point was to make sure Abby was alright. Tony told the AI to keep a constant tap on Abby's vitals to make sure she was alive and well enough to make it to the hospital. Every second the computer kept a tab on her heart rate and brain conditions, everything was fine, and eventually he landed in front of the hospital. Tony then walked into the hospital and gave Abby to the medical doctors as they rushed her off to do what they needed to do.

Abby didn’t know what had happened, but when she regain consciousness she was no longer in that building. Nor was she in her father’s arms. She began to panic thinking that she was taken yet again, and started to prepare herself for a fight. However, when she jerked her arm up, she seemed to have pulled something out of her hand. It started to bleed, and she panicked even more. However, medical alarms sounded and she didn’t even know that she was in a hospital. She thought that who ever took, had her hooked up to some medical equipment in a lab or something.
She sat up in the bed she was lying in, and her vision started to spin. She paused briefly to allow it to settle back, and then started to take off anything that was connecting her to a machine. The alarm only got louder as other alarms joined the first. She didn’t wait to see if anyone would rush in or not. She left the room in search of her father, and perhaps Lorna.

Lorna wasn't stupid by nature but she honestly had no idea just what his suit could do. Before today, she'd known who Iron Man was, who Tony Stark was and that he was one of the city's heroes. Past that, Lorna had simply not paid much attention to the man. They ran in very different circles and the odd of them meeting would have been astronomical. Unfortunately, Lorna seemed to beat the odds constantly and this was no different.
So she didn't realize that she was doing nothing more then wasting his time by trying to help out with Abby's injury. When he informed her that he already knew everything, she dropped her hands, resisting the urge to run her blood covered one on his suit like a five year old, and said, “Oh. Your AI.” What the hell AI's knew about injuries was beyond her but who was she to argue. Again, she asked herself why she hadn't just continued driving north and been tucked into her own bed by now.
Bed did sound really nice at that moment...
He mentioned that she seemed mad at him (was she that transparent?), thanked her again and was off. Out of habit, Lorna followed, rose in the air and watched them leave. Well, that was that, she figured. Her time helping out Abby Stark, what little good it did, was over and she could go home.
So why was she following? At a distance, of course, but Lorna realized her body had moved on its own accord and she watched which hospital he landed at, pausing in the air to try to acclimate herself to where they were. She knew the area but not well. It was one she'd rarely been in even though she'd grown up in the city.
Biting her lip uncertainly, she told herself that she was just going to make sure Abby was fine then leave. She'd stay out of the way, make sure that he didn't see her because while she'd have loved to have told him about what happened at the bar, this wasn't the place or time. In fact, as far as Lorna was concerned, there never would be a place and time for the discussion. It was necessary and she'd only be a blip in their lives, come and gone so very quickly.
Slipping through the crowd, she already heard people talking about the fact that Tony Stark was in their hospital. Damn, the place was going to be a zoo in about two seconds, she could feel it.
Finding the waiting room he was in, Lorna sat down in one of the chairs along the edges, doing her best to not be noticed which really was impossible with bright green hair. She waited, eventually getting a cup of coffee from the little stand that was near the nurse's desk. Lorna didn't really talk to anyone, Tony was obviously preoccupied with what was happening with Abby, and rightfully so. If he hadn't been, he likely would have got an earful from her about it. She sat back down and sipped, listened to the security outside handling the reporters. That sort of life, the one where people were always nosy about what you were doing, was very foreign to her. It actually made her feel a bit sorry for not only Abby but Tony as well. But that was stupid. It was what he wanted, right?
Lorna must have dozed off as she suddenly heard warning alarms sound at the nurse's station. Her coffee had grown ice cold and was sitting next to her on a small table. Her first thought was this wasn't quite the cup of coffee she'd envisioned earlier but she pushed that aside. Standing, trying to figure out what was going on, she heard a few nurses call out to one another about the “Stark Girl” and so she moved closer, trying to see why the doctors and nurses were rushing toward Abby's room.
Just as the girl herself emerged, dragging an iv stand with her where she was still hooked up to the machine. “Abby,” she said softly but was pushed aside for the more important people, the ones who had to attend to their young patient.

After handing Abby to the doctors they escorted him to the waiting area where, they guessed where he would calm down. However the opposite happened and he wanted to make sure that Abby was okay. But in the end he knew she was, the AI did a scan and made sure she was, though that wasn't going to hold back the worry. For the second time in the day Tony could feel his throat and mouth suddenly get dry. He knew what it was for, it was for the alcohol that he hasn't had for a couple of hours now. Tony felt his brain command him to try and find some form of alcohol and down it quickly. But he knew he couldn't, he had to stay here and make sure Abby didn't do anything dumb while he was gone. And knowing that girl she was either going to get in trouble the second she a woke from her being unconscious.
After a few seconds however he heard the door open behind him as he paced around the room. At this point he was trying to battle his urge to drink and making sure that Abby was alright. When he turned around to see if it was one of the doctors, not to his surprise it was Lorna. Tony obviously didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say which was odd because he always had something to say. It might have been the booze that was calling him, or the fact that Abby was still hurt. Than not surprising he heard a bunch of news reporters outside of the hospital, which of course he wasn't really in the mood to deal with. Not that he didn't like the publicity, but at the moment he had more important things to think about than his narcissism.
Than of course the alarms went off and the suit told him where the alarms where coming from and why. Abigail's room, of course it was, why wouldn't it be. Tony walked towards the door, his feet making clacking noises as he opened it and walked to Abby. After a few moments it wasn't to hard to find where Abby was at the moment. The doctors seemed to get out of his way as he stood in front of Abigail with his arms crossed and his Iron Man mask still in placed. Without saying much of anything he lifted up his arm and pointed out for her to go back in the room now.
