In some fanfictions, it could be a new character, perhaps a young and brilliant inventor who idolizes Iron Man. This person discovers Iron Man's injured state and uses their own unique skills and knowledge, which they've developed while studying Iron Man's technology, to nurse him back to health.
He could get hurt in a fight against a powerful new villain. Maybe the villain has some sort of energy weapon that can penetrate Iron Man's suit defenses.
It could be that Pepper gets injured in a terrorist attack on Stark Industries. Iron Man is away on a mission when it happens. When he returns and sees her in a hospital bed, he is devastated. He starts to re - evaluate his life and the risks he takes that might put Pepper in danger. He decides to upgrade the security at Stark Industries and also to be more cautious in his superhero activities to ensure Pepper's safety in the future.
Pepper could be kidnapped and tortured by one of Iron Man's enemies. This would drive Iron Man into a frenzy to rescue her. He would use his suit's advanced tracking capabilities to find her location. Once he does, he'd have to fight through hordes of bad guys to get to her. After rescuing her, he might become more protective and even consider retiring from his superhero duties.
Fanfiction about Iron Man being hurt can cover a wide range of scenarios. It could involve him getting physically injured during a battle, like in a fight with a powerful new villain. Maybe he's hurt while protecting civilians or his fellow Avengers. Writers often explore the emotional and mental toll such an injury takes on him as well. For example, how he might struggle with self - doubt or fear of not being able to protect those he cares about anymore.
One common theme is redemption. Maybe Iron Man made a mistake in a battle that led to his injury, and he has to find a way to make it up. Another theme is sacrifice. He might sacrifice himself physically to save others. For example, taking on a powerful blast meant for someone else.
Physical hurt might come from a powerful magic spell. Let's say an evil sorcerer casts a spell that drains Yami's energy and causes him pain. His struggle to overcome this and regain his strength could be a central part of the fanfiction.
Well, in a fanfiction plot, Nicole could be hurt while trying to protect her partner. For example, if there's a bomb threat in a building where they are. Nicole would shield her partner from the blast, resulting in her getting seriously hurt with burns and fractures. Or perhaps she gets into a car accident while rushing to a crime scene because of a mechanical failure in her vehicle.
One possible plotline could be that Tohru gets physically hurt during an accident while helping out at the Sohma house. Maybe she's climbing a ladder to fix something on the roof and slips, resulting in a sprained ankle or a cut. Another could be that she gets emotionally hurt when she overhears some of the Sohma family members saying unkind things about her, not realizing she can hear them. It could make her question her place in their lives.
Yuki would likely be very concerned. He has a soft spot for Tohru and would probably rush to her side, trying to find a way to help. He might even blame himself if he thinks he could have prevented it. Kyo, on the other hand, would initially be angry, but that's just his way of showing worry. He would be more hands - on in getting her the help she needs.
