❝Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?❞
↪Tony Stark is known to be many things, but only few people know that being a father is one of those, and sometimes he seems to forget it too.
Being the daughter of a genius, billionaire, playboy and...

The elevator doors opened and Carina, obviously drunk, began to take the house keys from her purse while trying not to drop the coffee in her other hand. Immediately after Androsilla left her apartment, Carina took the keys and the phone and went out for a drink. She didn't plan on spending the whole night out.
As soon as she turned the corner to reach the front door, the young Stark bumped into someone and dropped her beloved coffee on the floor.
"Shit" she complained "Scusami, non ti ho visto" she said, abandoning the search for the keys and looking the person she had collided with in the face. (Sorry, I didn't see you)
A man in a suit and tie and sunglasses watched her while two other men dressed the same as the first stood at her door.
"Temo proprio che si stia facendo tardi, devo andare" she murmured before turning and running farther from there, but as soon as she turned, Phil Coulson was behind her. (I'm afraid it's getting late, I have to go)
"Miss Stark" he greeted her.
"Phil!" The girl exclaimed "What an unpleasant surprise! What brings you here to the Bel Paese? Has Tony been kidnapped again? Or did you come to kidnap me?" She asked, pointing to the three men behind her.
"The boss wants to see you" said Coulson, beckoning her to enter the apartment.
"And what would the Big Chief want from me?" Carina asked annoyed.
The door to the apartment opened and a dark-skinned man, completely dressed in black and with an eye patch, appeared.
"Miss Stark, come in"
Carina snorted in annoyance, but did what she was told. She knew that if she tried to escape, there would be other men outside the building ready to catch her.
"You do know that this is private property infringement, yes?" She asked Coulson and the pirate-ninja man.
"We've been watching you ever since you left the country" said the mysterious man.
"Great!" Carina mocked "In addition to the crime of proven property infringement, we also add stalking" then she turned to Coulson "You've gone down Phil, if you missed me you could call me, and we would go out on a date together, there was no need to mess around and even call your boss"
"We are not here to cause problems" Coulson said.
"Really, Phil?" The girl asked, arching an eyebrow.
"We're here to talk about your father" the other man said.
"Then I'd say you're here to cause me big problems" Carina said crossing her arms over her chest "What Tony does is not my problem, so please get out of my house before I call the police. Here the law works differently" she said with a sneering smile. They weren't in the United States there, they didn't have any power there, right?
"I am Iron Man." With that sentence, your father began to be part of a bigger universe. He just didn't know it yet"
"And that should interest me because...?" Stark rolled her eyes.
"Because Mr. Stark is not the only superhero on earth"
"Tony Stark a superhero" Carina scoffed "I thought I was the one still drunk from the previous night" she shook her head "Tony Stark is anything but a superhero" she laughed.
"We know this and that's why we will need your help to turn him into one of them"
"Who the hell are you?" Carina asked, shocked and annoyed at the same time.
"Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative"
"What the hell!" Carina exclaimed in exasperation. The last thing she needed right now was to be part of a crazy organization. Because yes, only crazy people could want to turn Tony Stark into a superhero.
"Okay, let's calm down" she breathed deeply trying to regain some self-control "I don't wanna get off on the wrong foot, so... do I look at the patch or the eye? Honestly I'm a bit hung over. I'm not sure if you're real of if I'm having..." and for a moment she really hoped it was all just a figment of his imagination.
"I am very real. I'm the realest person you're ever gonna meet"
"Just my luck" she mumbled "What exactly do you want from me?"
"Your help" Fury said "Agent Coulson has already informed me that you would never agree to be part of the initiative for any reason--"
"Only six months of acquaintance and you already know me best of all, Phil" Carina mocked.
Fury cleared his throat to catch the girl's attention again.
"As I was saying, since she would never take this job we thought she could help us in another way"
"Turning Tony Stark into a... how did you call him?" Carina asked bringing her hand to her chin, pretending to think "Oh right, a superhero" she went to the medicine cabinet and poured himself a glass of water "Look, it's already funny like this, so why don't you stop playing clowns and get out of my house before I call the police?"
"Do you really think we're the clowns here? You are here taking pills and getting drunk every night, while we are trying to create a group of protectors to ensure that this world is protected from an evil that you cannot even imagine"
"Really?" Carina asked, placing her glass on the kitchen counter and walking slowly towards the man "Is this how you try to protect the world? Entering without permission into the homes of people more gifted than you why do you, silly mindless little men with at most a diploma, do you need them, gifted people, to do things you can only imagine?"
The air in the room grew thicker.
"I don't know who you think you are young lady, but--"
"I am Carina Flaminia Stark, the owner of this house, in which you have entered illegally. The smart person you needed before I refused your request for help" she said seriously looking him straight in the eye "Now, as I told you before, please leave"
Fury motioned for his men to leave, but before he left too he turned to her.
"You say you hate Tony Stark, but know that the apple didn't fall far from the tree"
"After this pearl of your wisdom, know that any request from you, even if desperate and of utmost necessity, will be ignored regardless. Have a nice day, Agent Fury"
