The Only One

Chapter 12

Tony's POV

One week. One week until I can get guardianship of the kid in front of me. Hopefully. Hopefully, she'll say yes. I mean, I don't know why she wouldn't. Like c'mon, I'm Tony Stark. Who doesn't wanna live with Tony Stark. I know it could be dangerous, and I know I might not be the best da- not I'm not going to be her dad. I'm just going to have guardianship of her. But I think it's a lot better than living with a crazy ass witch who abuses her. I mea-

"Mr.Stark?" Y/N said, cutting off my thoughts.

"Hm?"

"You okay?"

"Yeah kid, I'm fine. Just thinking about stuff."

"Like, what stuff?"

"Stuff that doesn't concern you." I said pointing a pen at her.

"Whatever you say, tin can with a plan."

"Really? You'll call me that but you won't call me Tony?"

"Yup." She said spinning around in her chair.

"And it's not tin it's a go-"

"Gold titanium alloy."

"Oh great, now there's two of them." Pepper said walking in the lab.

"Maybe. Anyways, you look angry, about something." I said, with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm not angry, it's just that there's a few things I need to talk to you about. Also, it's already 2:00 pm and you guys have been in here since 8:00. You both need to get upstairs and eat something."

"But Pepper, we're having so much fun!" Y/N whined. "And, I'm not even hungry."

"Yeah Pep c'mon. Let us be." I said.

"Children, literal children. If I need to come down here to get you two for dinner I swear to god." Pepper said, in an annoyed voice.

"And kid I swear to god if you don't start calling me To-"

"If I may interrupt the child's play. Sir, there is a very enraged woman down in the lobby demanding to see you." FRIDAY said, interfering my sentence.

"And who might this very enraged woman be?" I ask.

Y/N's POV

"Jennifer Y/L/N." FRIDAY announced, answering Mr.Stark's question.

I stopped breathing.

"Wha- what is sh-she doing h-here?" I choked out.

"Y/N, hey Y/N. Look at me." Mr.Stark said.

"I don't- I don't wanna go, M-Mr.Stark, please."

Before I know I'm holding on to one of the desks. I feel tears run down my cheeks. I can't- I won't see her again.

"I ca-can't breathe."

"Look at me. In n out okay? In and out."

Mr.Stark comes over to me and starts rubbing my back.

"C'mon let's sit down alright?" He said.

I nodded. Slowly I started breathing better.

"Its okay kid, she's not gonna get you back, I promise."

"Bu-but what if sh-she knows. A-and then the co-cops are gonna ar-arrest you." I said.

Thinking about that only made me panic more. If Mr.Stark got arrested, then I'd definitely have to go back. That, that cannot happen. My breathing started getting heavy again.
