Tony's sister - Book 1

Chapter 05

Sydney looked with wide eyes at the suit that was standing in front of her. The times that Tony was in his workspace, he has been buidling a suit of iron. "Okay, i'm gonna test it out."

"Okay, you want me to go upstairs?" Sydney asked but her brother shaked his head.

"No, no, you can stay here." Tony said and stood ready with a few pieces from his suit on. "Day 11, test 37, configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety." He said, looking at one of his robots. "If you douse me again, and i'm not on fire, i'm donating you to a city college. All right, nice and easy. Seriously, just gonna start off with 1 percent thrust capacity. And three, two, one..." Fire came out of the suit's arms and legs and Sydney gasped when she saw her brother flying above the floor. "Cool, right?"

"Yeah, unbelievable..." She spoke.

Seconds later, Tony came back down and sighed. "Okay, please don't follow me around with it, either, 'cause i feel like i'm gonna catch on fire spontaneously." He spoke to his robots. "Just stand down! If something happens, then come in. And again, let's bring it up to 2.5. Three, two, one..." And again, Tony went flying, this time a bit higher off the ground. He suddenly started to loose control and flew towards his and Sydney's cars.

"Tony-"

"Okay, this is where i don't want to be." Tony said. "Syd, come help me." The brunette rushed over to her brother, but had no idea how to help him since sparks of fire were coming out of his robot hands. "Oh no, not the car, not the car!"

"Watch out!" Sydney exclaimed, the moment Tony almost hit her car that she got for her 16th birthday.

"Yeah i know, it's the suit!" Tony rolled his eyes. "Table, table." Sydney looked at all the papers that fell on the ground when Tony flew over the table. He used his hands to push him away from the wall, just as he was about to hit it. The man let out a nervous laugh while Sydney tried to do something, but she just stood there. Having no idea how to help him and if she was honest with herself, she wanted to laugh at all the stupid things that were happening now. 

"Could be worse!" She yelled, a smile plastering on her face.

"You're right, could be worse." Tony agreed as he slowly got it under control. "We're fine." The man landed back on the ground and sighed heavily. One of the robots held up the fire extinguisher towards Tony. He stopped them and looked at Sydney. "Yeah, i can fly."

"That's good. But i really hope you're not gonna hit my car." The girl replied and Tony rolled his eyes dramatically, before he put on his suit. "Be safe."

"I'm always safe. Jarvis, are you there?" Tony asked, putting on his helmet.

While her brother kept talking to Jarvis, Sydney sat down on one of the chairs, looking at the iron man in front of her. "Ready?" Tony asked and Sydney chuckled.

"Good luck big brother."

"Thanks. In three, two, one..." And again, Tony came from the ground but instead of staying in his workspace, he flew outside. Sydney smiled when she could hear her brother being happy through her phone as he finally got outside.

"How's it going over there?" She asked.

"Handles like a dream." Tony replied through the phone. "All right, let's see what this thing can do. Jarvis, what's SR-71's record?"

"The altitude record for fixed wing flight is 85 000 feet, sir." Jarvis replied.

"Records are made to be broken!" Tony yelled through the phone and Sydney's eyes widened as she realised what her brother was about to do.
