Word Count: 3,950ish

Summary: You're smart just like your father, Tony Stark. But too kind for your own good.

~~~

You've always been told that your mother was the nicest woman on the planet. And that you were very much like her in that way. Unfortunately, your mother died during childbirth leaving you with your father, Tony Stark. You definitely got his brains, but you were definitely not as loud and rambunctious as him.

When you first met the Avengers, they were surprised that you were Tony's daughter. In their eyes, you were too nice, too forgiving. You hated violence, but you understood why your father and the other Avengers did what they did. None of what made you you was a bad thing. It's just, the Avengers were afraid that one day you'd get deeply hurt by your kind and forgiving nature. They couldn't stand to see you sad so they did whatever they could to protect you. But they knew, that the one that would end up hurting you the most was Tony.

Not that he was a bad father, he just was blind to how his actions affected people. Especially you, his daughter. Tony would spend a lot of time in his lab or away on missions. He did try to make sure a night was set aside every week for just the two of you, but that slowly faded away once Peter Parker came into the picture. The Avengers saw what was happening and felt extremely sorry for you. They would always try to get you to talk about it, but you would always give him an excuse though and never talk unkind about him. This made the Avengers hearts break but also made them love you more. You were a better person than they would ever be.

One morning, you were having breakfast in the common kitchen of the Avengers Tower. Steve was brewing coffee while Sam was making waffles, bacon, and eggs, and Natasha was cutting fruit. Tony drudged in after a long night in the lab, going straight for the coffee.

"Good morning, dad!" You greeted with a large smile on your face.

"Good morning, sweetheart," Tony greeted in return, grabbing a cup of coffee before walking to press a kiss on your hair. "Have any plans today?" He moved to sit in the empty chair next to you.

"Just school and then a big science project I need to work on this afternoon."

"Science project? That sounds interesting. Need any help?"

"You aren't too busy to help?"

"I'm never too busy for you, sweetheart." The other Avengers eyed each other, carefully watching the interaction. "Why don't you come straight to the lab after school?"

"Really?"

"Really." He leaned forward, kissing your cheek, before standing up. "I'll see you after school."

"Yeah, see ya then, dad."

Tony smiled at you before heading back to the lab. The three Avengers in the kitchen with you moved to sit down at the table.

"That will be nice," Natasha said, slowly. "When was the last time you worked on something in the lab with him?"

"Oh, a few months, I think," you answered. "But he's been busy, saving the world and helping Peter get his feet on the ground now that he's an Avenger."

"You know you don't have to do that, Y/N," Steve said.

"Do what?"

"Make excuses for him. He's your father, he should spend more time with you than he does."

"He spends time with me. It's just that Peter doesn't have a father in his life. Dad feels the need to step into that roll. It's alright."

"I don't know how you do it, Y/N/N," Sam said, shaking his head. "I don't know how have been able to maintain such a positive attitude throughout everything."
