This is the story of Grace Stark, the daughter of genius inventor, billionaire, and philanthropist Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man. After her mother was killed in a vehicle accident, Grace must learn how to navigate her new reality. Tony is una...
The day came when we were all going to go on the trip. I packed my belongings and went downstairs to see my father, Happy, and Pepper.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yup."
We got our bags and headed out to the car that was taking us to pick up my friends and then to the airport.

"So who did you invite to come after all?" Pepper asked.
"Ned, MJ, and Peter."
"Those are all boys' names, Grace." My dad grew concerned.
"Relax, dad. MJ is a girl, and she's really smart and nice."
"Good."
"But she might call you a narcissistic, evil venture capitalist." I joked, making Happy and Pepper laugh.
"Ha ha, very funny."
We got to Peter's apartment, where they would all be meeting with us. Even Peter's aunt May is coming on the trip since Happy invited her. To be quite honest, I think that he has a thing for her.
I opened the door to greet them.
"Hey guys, are you all ready to go?"
"Yup, thanks again for the invite, Grace." Ned stated that he was putting his bags in the trunk.
"No problem; it's really thanks to my dad. He's actually in the car, but there is one thing you guys should know before you go in." I said I was making them stop in their tracks.
"My name isn't really Grace Miller; it's actually Grace Stark."
"Stark?" MJ questioned the increase in suspicion.
"Wait, what exactly does that mean?" My father stepped out of the car, interrupting Ned
"Guys, come on, we've got to get a move on." Dad said
"No way! Tony Stark!" Ned exclaimed.
"Wait, your dad is Iron Man?" MJ questioned.
"Yeah, nice to meet you guys. Now come on, we need to go." My dad rushed us into the car.
Throughout the entire car ride to the airport, MJ and Ned kept asking me and my dad questions. We answered as many as we could and explained to them that while they know the truth, they can never tell anyone else about my relationship with my father, and they agreed.
We finally got to the airport and got to the private airstrip where the plane would be.
"Don't we have to go through the terminals to go through security?" Ned asked
"Actually, we're taking my plane, so we don't need to go through security."
"Woah." Ned and MJ both said it at the same time.
"Wait a minute, Peter, why aren't you surprised by anything?" Ned asked only for Peter to start stuttering.
"You knew, didn't you?" MJ asked.
"Yeah." Peter sighed.
"Sorry guys, but we couldn't tell you just for my own personal safety."
MJ and Ned looked at each other and nodded.
"Don't worry, Grace. Me and MJ understand."
"Thanks Ned. Thanks MJ."
"Of course," they said as I hugged them both.
We got on the plane and headed to Cabo.

During the plane ride to Mexico, Ned and MJ asked me a bunch of questions regarding my life and unanswered questions they have always had about the battle of New York when Loki attacked.
"So have you ever met Thor?" MJ asked.
"Yup."
"What's he like?"
"One word: hot."
"What about Captain America? Is he like a really mean old grandpa?" Ned asked.
"Yup." My dad said as he passed by on his way to the plane's restroom, taking a swipe at Steve.
"Don't mind him. Cap is actually really cool; he's selfless and fearless, and he will always try to do what he thinks is right."
"Isn't he a war criminal on the run?" MJ pointed this out.
"Don't believe everything you hear." I said it while smiling.
"What about Spider-Man?" MJ asked again, making it a bit awkward since everyone here knew Peter was Spider-Man except her.
"I've seen him, but never without his mask on. He's a real stickler for the whole anonymous superhero thing." I said I was trying to annoy Peter, which worked since he rolled his eyes, earning a small, unnoticeable chuckle from me.
"Hey, people, we're about to land, so strap in." As we all nodded and buckled up, Happy said the walking past us.
Once we touched down, I looked out the window to see clear, sunny blue skies and the ocean.
"Look out the window, guys," I said, motioning for them to do so.
"Woah."
"It's beautiful."
"I can't wait to get my tan on. Come on, let's go." I said as we got off the plane.
Once we got off the plane, there was a greeting party waiting for us that consisted of my dad's staff.
"Welcome to Cabo! Mr. Stark, we hope the plane ride was comfortable."
"Yes, it was. Thank you." My dad said to grab a glass of champagne for him and Pepper. Happy did the same for him and May.
"We have your villa prepared for you; we hope it is to your liking."
My dad smiled and thanked them. We headed into the car that would take us to my dad's house, and once we got there, I knew that the next week was going to be absolute paradise.
