2 hours later
Strange came out. His face was full of sweat. Eliza grabbed Strange's hands. She said with worry,
" Doctor, how is my brother?"
Strange wiped his sweat. He said calmly,
" Your brother is fine. He successfully went through the surgery. Congratulations."
Alfred nodded. His demeanor was totally lost, but he didn't care it. Alfred didn't want to lose his son like a person. He raised Arthur since he was ten. He said with a trembling voice,
" Thank you, doctor. Thank you very much."
All Avengers and Arthur's relatives expressed their gratitude. Hill and Natasha were a lot calmer now. Tony sighed with a relief,
" Let's go now. Fury and I have to bring our medical items that might help Arthur."
Fury nodded. He doesn't want to lose one of the earth's top defender. Steve said lightly,
" I will prepare something."
Clint also nodded. He and Arthur are long time close friends. Bruce said with a cautious voice,
" Doctor Strange, please destroy our remaining blood samples."
Strange nodded. He isn't a stupid person who will use something unknown. Blade sighed,
" I will send my application tomorrow."
Tony smiled,
" Welcome to the team."
Fury looked Blade with an interest. He knows this man.
" Tony, it seems the Avengers hid a very peculiar secret from us."
Tony said indifferently,
" We aren't puppets. Please, respect our privacy."
Fury narrows his eyes,
" Don't do anything illegal. Even I can't protect you from the government."
Tony nodded,
" I know. Let's go. Arthur needs a medical treatment."
Fury nodded and left with Tony. Steve also left with Clint. Only Arthur's family members remained. They need to take care of Arthur.
1 month later
Arthur woke up from his long dream. When he opened his eyes, he heard a cold voice,
" Life protection time is over. Recharging life energy."
Arthur said with difficulty,
" You saved my life, Guide."
Guide coldly snorted and shut down. Arthur smiled wryly. A man with doctor uniform came in.
" Hello, Mr. Frost. It seems you have awoken."
Arthur scratched his head,
" How long did I sleep?"
Strange said calmly.
" Very long. You have slept for a month. I would say this is a miracle that you are alive. As expected from the superhero."
Arthur was dazed. He never thought he would sleep this long. Strange checked Arthur's body,
" Very good. You are very healthy."
Arthur checked his body. Except for his energy which is very low, others seemed to be fine. Arthur said with a grateful voice,
" Thank you. I owe you one."
Strange sighed,
" Call me Doctor Strange."
Arthur bowed,
" Doctor Strange."
Strange left quickly. Arthur looked at Strange's back.
" Really strange doctor. Oh, well."
Bang*
Eliza rushed in. She looked at Arthur with teary eyes. She punched lightly.
" You big stupid brother. "
Arthur gently caressed her hair.
" I am sorry."
Eliza cried out loudly.
" Woo woo* You told that you wouldn't leave me again."
Arthur smiled,
" I am here."
Eliza talked to Arthur about her daily life. Arthur laughs time to time.
Knock, knock*
Hill and Natasha came in. Eliza went out to wash her face. Hill scolded Arthur
" You fool, do you want to make me a widow? You could have called reinforcement."
Natasha also scolded Arthur,
" Yeah. You are a selfish person. Why did I fall in love with you?"
Arthur said with a guilty tone,
" I am sorry."
Hill sighed. She gently hugged Arthur with Natasha.
" Don't ever do this again. We always have your back."
Arthur kissed them. He said with a caring voice,
" I know. I love you, girls."
After this Jeanne and George came in. George said without care
" Yo, still alive."
Arthur had black lines all over his face. He gives his middle finger,
" Fuck you."
George laughs. Jeanne asked with worry
" Master are you alright?"
Arthur nodded
" I am okay, but it seems I have lost a quite bit of my power. I need a little time to recover."
Jeanne's eyes brightened,
" I will nurse you during that time."
Arthur coughs,
" I will consider it. What about you, George?"
George smiled,
" Nothing. By the way I have found a few interesting people. They called themselves Inhumans"."
Arthur touched his chin,
" You continue to gather their information. After going out from this hospital, I will meet them."
