Riley's P.O.V

The next time I wake up, the smell of burning fills my nose. I open my eyes to be blinded by sunlight streaming through the windows. When Mia notices that I'm awake, wags her tail and crawls over to try to lick me. I sit up and pet her.

"Hey, your up, good morning, you fell asleep in the lab so I carried you to the couch," Steve says from behind the stove. The smell of burning bacon returns, wafering from the stove top. I wrinkle my nose at the smell. Steve laughs. "As you can tell, I'm not very good at cooking on modern technology."

I stand up and stretch my legs. I yawn and walk to stove. "I can smell that," I grin ,"How about I take over the cooking for now."

Steve holds his hands up in defeat and backs away slowly."take over, please," he says ," I'm tired of polluting the earth more than it already is." He grins and walks to the couch and sits down. Steve burnt all of the bacon and almost caught the eggs on fire so I had to start the breakfast over again.

When I finished cooking, I took two plates of fresh bacon and eggs to the couch and handed a plate to Steve.
M"Can I ask you a question?" I ask. Steve nods and I proceed "What were the results of my blood test from last night."

He takes a deep breath "They came back positive. Tony Stark is truly your father."

I'm speechless. I thought that when I found out if he was my father or not, that I would be happy to have at least some family still alive or overwhelmed so many other feelings put together or even relived if he wasn't. Steve pats me on my back to reassure and sooth my complex feelings right now.

The TV turns to the morning news coverage.The cover story is on an massive explosion in a port on the coast of Miami, Florida a few weeks ago.

"Breaking news over night," the reporter says ,"Three weeks ago the world thought that on the fateful day of the bombing to his home in Malibu, California, that Tony Stark,also know as Ironman, was dead. Two weeks ago the country and its inhabitants were overjoyed to learn that Stark was not only alive but on a mission to save the world.
"Two weeks ago an explosion at a pier in Miami, Florida, uncovered the the truth about the so called 'Mandarin'. After Stark's girlfriend, Pepper Potts, was experimented on by the man behind the Mandarin, Eric Savin, he entrusted the best doctors in the country to extract what ever remained of the experiment in her body. Stark also decided to fix himself up by removing his invention, the arc reactor, from his chest.
Now we go live, to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida, where Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are being discharged and sent home."

The screen goes to Stark being hoarded by cameras with who I assume to be Pepper, and climbs into a sleek, black limousine and drove off, leaving the reporters in the dust.

"Did you know he was being discharged today, Steve?" I ask getting up and washing my plate off.

He shakes his head. "No. Tony never said a word to me."

Ding! Ding! Ding! Steve's phone rings.

"Well now I do." He tilts his phone for me to see. The caller ID comes up.

Tony Stark.
