I opened the lid on the box. There was a piece of crumpled notebook paper. It was folded in half. I picked it up and opened it with trembling fingers and read:

Dear Y/n,

I have either given you this box or, you've found it yourself. I didn't know how to tell you this but. Your dad didn't leave us when you were born. Well, he did but you need to understand what fully happened. Let me start from the beginning.

I was 24 years old and I was at a party. Yes immature I know but I've gotta have fun some way or another. Anyways, I was at the party and I was drunk. However it wasn't just any party. It was a Stark party. You may be a little bit confused with what I mean but basically, I was invited to Tony Starks party.

TONY STARK! AS IN THE TONY STARK! OMG! OMG! OMG!

Like I said, I was drunk. I don't know what I was thinking but I can't remember much of what happened. A few days later, I was starting to feel really sick. Also, my period was late. I was shocked, Confused and scared. I didn't know what to do but in the end I decided to get a pregnancy test. It came back positive.

I was trying to think about how I was pregnant and then I remembered the party and I remembered what had happened.

Y/n Mason, your a Stark.

A STARK! AS IN TONY STARKS DAUGHTER!? This is so surreal.

As soon as I knew, I went back to Tony's house and told him. He was shocked and didn't know what I was on about. Upset, I left his compound and when you were born, i fled to England (my home town) and raised you.

Y/n! I'm so sorry you found out this way but I didn't know how to tell you. I don't even know if you can ever forgive me. I hope you can. I love you Y/n so much! You are my whole world.

Mum xxx

I couldn't believe it. I sat there in total shock. It wasn't sinking in. How was I a stark?! How had my mother hid this from me and how am I only finding out about this now?!

There was more in the box. Pictures from the party, the pregnancy test and my birth certificate.

This was all so much information. How was the famous Tony Stark/IronMan my father? It didn't make any sense.

I read the letter again. It was starting to sink in. Then, I realised. If I've got actual proof that my dad is alive, I wouldn't have to go to the Orphanage.

But then...what if he doesn't want to see me? I mean, he's a multi millionaire and a superhero. He probably forgot about me.

However...it's always worth a try, right?

I grabbed the shoebox and went back down the attic stairs. I walked into my room and went on my bed. I grabbed my phone and typed in Tony Stark. It came up with about 20 different links but I went on the first one. The internet can really tell you anything. I found the address to the stark towers. It was in Manhattan. I scribbled the address down and decided to buy a plane ticket. It may be spontaneous however it's worth it. I get to see my dad (if Tony is my dad) for the first time.

I went on a website and found the next plane out to Manhattan was tomorrow at 3:20 pm. It was £100 one way ticket. I had the money. I payed for the flight and it was booked. I was going to Manhattan tomorrow! I needed to pack.

I spent the rest of the day getting boxes down from the attic and packing everything, I left some clothes and essentials I'd need for my flight tomorrow and put them in an old suitcase I found in the attic. It was hidden by all the boxes.

It was around 8pm when I decided to just have my soup and bread for dinner. I'd just have the rest of the bread tomorrow. After I'd made the soup I sat down and watched a movie. It was about a chocolate factory and there were these funny little men dancing around and singing.

It was 10pm when I'd finished the movie and I was tired. I got dressed in my pjs and got in my bed and went straight to sleep. I'd had a busy day after all.

The next morning I woke up. I got out of bed and looked at the time. It was 9am. I quickly got dressed and brushed my teeth and I brushed my long brunette hair and put it up in a messy bun. Today I wore a black blouse with yellow sunflowers on it with a pair of black leggings. I also chucked on my yellow zip down hoodie.

I got ready to leave for the airport at around 11pm. I'd just ate my last few slices bread and I'd called a taxi to take me to the airport.

The ride to the airport was around 1hr long. There wasn't an airport near where I lived. I payed the driver and got out of the taxi and walked into the airport.

I dragged my suitcase behind me and got ready to go to check in. Luckily, my mum had got us passports just in case we had to go somewhere. She had always renewed them so mine was in date. I got my boarding pass and got rid of my main suitcase at check in. I had to go through immigration next. It was quite intimidating as the guy was grumpy and strict however I knew he was just doing his job.

Next was security. I put my backpack on the conveyer while I walked through the metal detector. Everything was fine and by the time I'd got out of all the queues, it was 13:45. I read the huge display board that told me that my plane was at 38B. I had some time to kill so I went into a shop and bought a meal deal. I put it in my bag and walked around in the duty free.

There wasn't anything I wanted so I went to go find my gate. I arrived at the gate and people we're already queuing to get on the plane. We had 20 minutes before the plane left so I decided to join the queue. There was a women in-front of me with three loud children between the ages 3 and 7. They were incredibly loud and annoying so I just grabbed my earphones and listened to my playlist.

I'd listened to about 10 songs and then the queue was moving a lot faster so I took my earbuds out. We we're getting on the plane. When I arrived at the till the lady checked my boarding pass and then let me on the plane. I was at seat 34 C.

When I found my row I sat down and put my bag under the chair in front of me. I had a window seat. I led my head against the cool glass on the window and got ready for the plane to take off.

I was so tired. But so excited.
