Against The Law

October 6th

                 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Malia J

"HEY NAT!" I yell into the speaker from the base floor.
She hasn't opened the door, and the guards refuse to give me a visitation card. So they actually sent me outside of the building!
I stand there for a little while in the cold, getting annoyed.
I'm just about to pull out my phone, but then the door opens.

"Ms Valdez. You have been invited up in the Tower" A man in a suit says as he opens the door.

I try to act nice and walk through the door.
"Thank you" I say.

I get my visitation card, which allows me to use the elevator.
The guard follows me as I get to the elevator.

"Jarvis, send me to the living room" I say, confidently.

"Only the Avengers can use Jarvis" The guard besides me says as if I'm the stupidest person to walk this earth.

"Will do Ms Valdez" Jarvis answers back.
I put my hands together in front of me, stand up tall and smirk with a lot of pride.
Tony never let me go.
He never would.

We get to the living room and I walk in.
"Morning" Tony says, welcoming me.

"Good morning Tony. Where's my sister?" I ask with a smile.

"Still asleep, I assume" He says as he sips his coffee in the kitchen.

"So let me guess... you sent me up here" I say and sit down at in the couch.

"Couldn't have you wake up the whole city either" His sassy ass says.
I chuckle as he walks over and sits down.

"Ready?" He asks.

"Pfffftt... I guess I have to be" I say and put my leg over the other.

"I have something for you" He says and get up.
I stare at him with confusion.

"Come on" He says and waves me in.
I roll up of the couch and start walking after him.

We walk down the stairs to his lab.
It's messy, scraps all over the place, a work desk and his favorite suits for show.

"I'm a hacker... not an engineer" I say and scoff.

"Yeah... I remember" He says, referring to an old memory.
I snort as I remember.

"At least it wasn't as bad as that martial art class I gave you" I mock.

"You are just a bad teacher" He says.

"Then how come I blew up half your lab, under your education" I say with sarcasm.

"You didn't listen" He says in a high pitch and puts his arms out.
We both just laugh as we are at the end of the lab.

He reaches down and pulls out a box.
"After you quit... S.H.I.E.L.D and the government took all your things and we where supposed to erase you" He says as he sweeps off all the dust.

"Yeah..." I say.

"Yeah... I never did" He says and opens the big blue wood box.
I look in the box and feel some tears pushing on my eyes as my whole body warms up.
I walk closer and pull it out.
Tony stands up and says.
"Everything I owned, and made, stayed. Including your room, access to the Tower and Stark Tech..." He says.

"But this isn't yours" I say, not complaining at all, just wondering.

"Not theirs either" He says and looks at me.
I look over at him as I stroke over the leather.
