Bill me.

That same night

Viktor was looking at a clipboard in a hospital room.

A nurse walked in and stared at Viktor in surprise. Viktor smiled at her before turning back to the clipboard, she said "You're not supposed to-" Tony stood up from the chair, smiling "He's a friend. It's fine. Oh, right, he's also a Doctor."

The nurse didn't look very convinced, but who cared about her honestly?

Tony looked at Viktor and asked "So?" Viktor read the clipboard and flipped the pages, saying "Severe hemorrhaging, 4th degree burns, dozens of fractures…"

He paused and said honestly "To tell you the truth Tony, I'm shocked he's still alive. This chart also doesn't say everything. His organs were probably ruptured, bleeding internally…" Viktor clicked his tongue and added "He's very lucky his ribcage didn't puncture his lungs and come out of his back!"

The nurse stood there, not knowing what to do…

Tony said anxiously "Can you do it?" Viktor smiled "Of course, I can. It's just… I'd have to start all over, we have to take him out of the hospital and I have to operate on him all over again. Whatever you want to do, but he will survive either way."

Tony looked at Happy on the bed and said "What do you think?"

Viktor looked at Happy and said honestly, "If I treat him, he'll be up and walking normally in 2-3 weeks, if he stays here… maybe 1-2 months. It depends if you want him to heal faster, I can't speak to the sequelae of the operation at this hospital but there won't be any with me."

The nurse frowned and said "Excuse me, who are you again?" Viktor smiled at her and replied "Doctor Viktor Gardens, pleasure to meet you ma'am." The nurse gasped and said in shock "You're the Angel in Hell from the TV!"

Viktor rolled his eyes and smiled, nodding. She rifled through her pockets before pulling out a picture.

She presented it to him and said "C-Can you sign this?" Viktor was dumbfounded and looked at the picture.

God knows who took this!

It was him standing in a ruined city with the sun behind his head like a halo as he treated a person.

Tony was stunned and stared at the picture saying speechlessly "Wow." Viktor swallowed and said "Ma'am… I'm not this virtuous…" but he still signed it anyway.

The nurse hugged the picture and said sincerely "You're my idol, Doctor! Thank you!" before scurrying off.

Viktor looked at Tony saying with a sigh "Why did I become an Angel? I just want to live in peace…" Tony replied sharply "Then you probably shouldn't rush into battlezones to treat people…" then he clicked his tongue and added "Whoever took that picture… I can only say wow. It's amazing…"

Viktor rolled his eyes and said "So, Happy…" Tony snapped his fingers and said "Move him, get rid of it. I want him up and running sooner rather than later!" Viktor thought about something and said "Maybe we should leave him here after the operation. After all, there's bombings every day, he'll be in danger somewhere else."

Tony thought about it and nodded, "Alright. Hopefully this madman doesn't bomb a hospital!" Viktor frowned and said "I hope so as well…"

A while later

Under Viktor's title and fame, they let him re-operate on Happy in the hospital directly!

It was quite something, because if he was a regular doctor this would be impossible, and this was completely against protocol!

However, the person in charge of the entire hospital closed one eye and let it happen.

And so, Viktor re-operated on Happy, fixing any hidden injuries he had from the explosion.

It wasn't that the other doctors were bad, but Viktor had essentially x-ray vision. He could see all the injured areas! After a long while, he finally left the room and washed his hands.

Happy was sent to his former room without all the tubes and wires, looking much better than he did before.

[Congratulations you treated Happy Hogan (Iron Man's Bodyguard)- 1 lottery ticket]

Viktor asked "Isn't he the Freak?"

[Not in this Universe.]

Viktor said "Huh." before starting the lottery as he shook his hands of the water.

Bell, Cherry, Bar.

Tony walked over and asked, "How was it?"

Viktor smiled and said "It went very well. His Injuries should heal quite nicely as though they were never there!" Tony let out a breath of relief and patted Viktor's shoulder,saying "Thank you… I owe you again."

Viktor chuckled and tapped on his Arc Reactor, saying "Don't worry about it. If you ever want to remove this, let me know." Tony rubbed his chest and nodded.

[Peak Biotechnological Medicinal Science skill]

Viktor rubbed his eyes and just stared blankly at the notification as he followed Tony away. He asked "What is this long named skill?!"

[Research, Development, and Creation of Pharmaceutical drugs. Serums, Cures, Pills, etc. From Research to Creation and everything in between. It's not impossible to create Mortal Grade Eternal Youth pills!]

Viktor was stunned and asked "Really!?"

[... You would need the blueprints and several substances that don't exist on this planet or galaxy.]

Viktor lost interest and said "I'm not leaving the planet so forget it. As soon as you leave the planet, Celestials come after you, One Above All suddenly becomes interested, The living Tribunal comes to judge… What a fucking joke, stay here and be happy."

The new skill infused into Viktor's mind and he felt refreshed, though he didn't really know what it did but he was happy. This could push his Doctor career forward! Maybe he can even set up a Pharmaceutical company?

Viktor jumped and his eyes brightened!

Why make one when you can take one!

He and Tony chatted about random things as they walked out.

They were suddenly flooded by reporters, snapping pictures and asking questions all at once.

Viktor smiled and waved, asking "You guys… Can you turn off your flashes?" Tony looked at him saying "All this money and you can't buy sunglasses?" Viktor covered his eyes and replied "Emma doesn't want me spending money recklessly…"

Tony pursed his lips and they continued walking to his car as the reporters asked about the Mandarin attacks and such. One of them even asked "When's someone gonna kill this guy?"

Viktor pursed his lips and stood at the passenger door, resting his elbows on the car roof.

Tony stopped and turned around asking "Is that what you want?" as he stared at the male reporter before continuing "Here's a little holiday greeting I've been wanting to send to the Mandarin. I just didn't know how to phrase it until now. My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you. I know you're a coward. So I've decided that you just died, pal."

As he took off his glasses dramatically, adding "I'm gonna come get the body. There's no politics here. It's just good old-fashioned revenge. There's no Pentagon, it's just you and me. And on the off chance you're a man, here's my home address. 10880 Malibu Point. 90265. I'll leave the door unlocked."

Before taking the reporter's phone and saying "That's what you wanted right?" as he whipped it at the wall, breaking it completely. Viktor tilted his head slightly and the phone whizzed past his ear.

Tony put his glasses back on and said "Bill me." as he got in the car and closed the door.

Viktor chuckled and got in the car as Tony drove off.

Tony asked "By the way, what happened to your sword?" Viktor held Kikoku in his arms as he replied "I had her refurbished. The sheath was getting old, you know…" Tony nodded and stayed silent.

Viktor asked "You're a pretty brave guy, but what if this Mandarin guy just bombs your house instead?" Tony pursed his lips and said "How is that possible?" as he shook his head.

Viktor's lips twitched and he didn't say anything, Tony asked "Want to come over for a bit?" Viktor tilted his head and replied "I guess so…"

They arrived at Tony's Villa and got out.
