Mr. Stark's Daughter

38

*This Chapter will be Short*

Third Person's POV

As days passed after the Battle of Earth, everyone was left to question what had happened. The world begged the Avenger's for questions. No one quite knew who should address the world.

Grace's POV

"I'll do it"

"Grace," Pepper started and i shook my head.

"If i am to be the CEO of Stark industries, i need to be able to talk to the world. I will call a press conference and i will tell the world what happened. It's only right that i am the one to tell everyone what happened. I think i need to be the one to tell the world my dad is dead." I was too focused on my words to read into the glances Rhodey and Pepper shared.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Peter asked me. He had been sitting next to me as the Avenger's gathered around in the Cabin. I looked around the room. No one else should do it.

"Yes. I am positive. I think the world should hear about Dad's sacrifice from me." Everyone nodded. "I am starting up Stark Industries tomorrow to work on recovering from everything. People are homeless, missing, and so much more right now. They need the Stark Relief team to get running back up." When i found out yesterday that i would be inheriting Stark Industries and taking it over at sixteen, which i guess is possible, I decided to open up and start the relief team as soon as possible. "I'll call a press conference tomorrow and tell the world what happened. I'll tell them about the events of Five years ago and then of these past few days." Everyone in the room nodded.

Once everyone left, Peter and I went to my room. We didn't talk for about half an hour. We only laid on my bed, cuddling. I decided to break the silence.

"Thank you for being here Peter. I don't know what i would do if i didn't have you to lean on" I looked up at him.

"I will be here forever. I promise. I love you Grace Stark. I will love you till the day i die."

"Technically that was five years ago" I tried making the joke. We both laughed for a second and then just looked at each other. "Might be too soon for those jokes" He nodded. "I love you too Parker Peter. And I will love you until I die for good" I winked. "Can we talk about something?" I sat up and looked at him.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Sex." His eyes widened a little bit. "We talked a little bit about it yesterday, but I think we should talk about it."

"I think so too."

"And you know the fact we technically died Virgins, no thank you. I want to be with you forever Peter. And we both know how short forever can be. I think once i start my birth control again, we should pick a date. We can go to a nice dinner and just be with each other. And then maybe we could either come here, or your apartment, or maybe we could even rent a hotel room. I don't care where as long as i am with you."

"I agree." I kissed him and smiled.

We spent the rest of the night in each other's arms.

*At the Press Conference*

"Hello Everyone, thank you for coming" I stared as all the reporters filled the room. This reminded me of the first time i saw dad do a press conference. He'd just gotten home from captivity and he wanted to shut down the weapons division. I decided to start off by telling everyone that. "The first press conference i ever saw was the one where my dad shut down the weapons division of Stark Industries. That day changed my life for the better. It changed my dad's life. From then on, He was Iron Man." I smiled at the second press conference i ever saw. The one where dad said those three words that changed everything. "I have a little story for you all. Many years ago, there was an idea, to bring together a group of of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could. This idea was known as the Avengers Initiative. Something that always amused me was that my father was originally turned down for the Initiative because of my father's way of life." I laughed. "But once Loki came to Earth, Iron Man was needed more than Tony Stark. The day i found out my dad was gonna be a superhero was very chaotic, to say the least. He decided to keep me with him until he knew what was going on. This meant that i was on the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier as well as in Stark Tower when it was attacked. Luckily it turned out okay and the Avenger's saved the day." I smiled. "Flash forward to five years ago. The Avengers were challenged by the great titan Thanos. He collected these things called the Infinity Stones. Each stone held a certain power. Vision, who was a creation of my father's, was killed in the process of getting the last stone. Thanos collected all six of these stones which made him the most powerful being in the universe and with a snap of his fingers, half of the universe was wiped out. Five years ago, when either you or your loved ones disappeared, it is because of Thanos. I was among those who disappeared. However, the remaining Avengers told me about their challenges to get us all back. It took five years and with a very lucky rat, the Avengers came up with an idea to get the Stones." I decided to skip the whole time travel part. We don't need people knowing that the Avengers invented time travel. "After receiving all six stones, Hulk snapped his own fingers and brought us back. This is when Thanos appeared again, attacking the Avenger's compound and fighting until his death." Now for the hard part. "The price for defeating Thanos however, was the loss of three great heroes. My father, Tony Stark, Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff, and Captain America/Steve Rodgers." I took a deep breath. "That is the real reason i have called you all here. I am burdened with telling the world that Tony Stark sacrificed his life to kill Thanos and his army once and for all. Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rodgers sacrificed their lives so we could come back." I took another deep breath. "I know that was a lot of information thrown at you so i will now be answering any questions you may have." Immediately almost everyone's hands were in the air. I pointed to the first reporter.

"Three of the original six Avenger's are dead?"

"Yes. Steve Rodgers, Natasha Romanoff, and Tony Stark all have passed. Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rodgers passed away on October sixteenth and my father died on the seventeenth." We made the decision to not tell the world the truth about Steve's situation. He died a hero either way.

"Who will be the next Iron Man?" Christine freaking Everhart asked. I did not like this bitch.

"My father once said that it is about what you leave behind. He didn't just leave behind a company, a fortune, or a name. He left behind a family. He left behind two daughters and a wife. He left behind friends who I know as family. He left behind so much more than just the Iron Man suits. He left behind something none of you will ever understand. He left his legacy. He left me the Stark name. I do not intend to be the Next Tony Stark or the next Iron Man. I intend to be me. I intend to be Grace Maria Stark. This is because, no one. Not Iron Patriot, not Spider-Man, not the Falcon, or the winter solider, no one can replace my father, no one can be the next Iron Man. Someone will be the next great hero, but no one will be the next Iron Man. Because there is not a single person in this world, this universe, who can hold a flame next to everything my father has done, not only for the United States, or the earth, but the universe. He has laid down his life time and time again to protect every living being. So here is your final answer to who will the next Iron man be. No one." I decided that i had enough and ended the conference, after announcing that the Stark Relief team will be in action soon.
