CLAIRE HAS NO idea how long it's been since she's been inside her father's lab, working away on her invention in order to save her father. While she's working down in the lab, Pepper would come down every now and then to check on her and to bring her some food since she knew that with Claire being as stubborn as her father, there was no way that she planned on leaving the lab till her invention was completed. Although, Pepper would have to force Claire to go to bed during the light when it was way too late for her to be up still but by the time that the next morning came around, Pepper would find her down in the lab again.

In fact, Claire was a hundred percent sure (and she was normally always right) that the last time she left the lab willingly was when Pepper had came down to get her to let her know that her best friend was here since Claire had asked if she could come over to help brainstorm and help out with the rest of it. So, if anything, the last time she went upstairs was to see her best friend, who was dropped off by her older sister that happened to be a sophomore in college, greeted her best friend's sister, and the two girls were already heading down to the lab as quick as they could after that.

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Prince. The entire world thought that it was ironic that a Stark and a Prince were best friends—practically sisters due to the fact that their parents hated the other with both companies being the other's rival; though neither Elizabeth's older sister, Evelyn or Tony were bothered by the fact that the two were friends as they got along quite well but Edward and Emma Prince hated the fact that the two girls were friends and their dislike towards the two Starks was easily noticeable whenever in private or in public but both Claire and Lizzie could care less less about what Edward and Emma thought about their friendship because the two girls had a plan; a plan to change—no, save the world.

From the moment that they met in their kindergarten class, both Claire and Lizzie had always talked about their dream of healing the world from pollution, world hunger, or diseases because the two of them wanted to really make a difference in the world—they wanted to make the world a better place. They even had their dream mapped out already! The both of them would attend MIT for college and get their degrees, Claire would take over as CEO for Stark Industries while Lizzie would start her own company rather than take over her parents' company, and then together, the two would use their companies to purse their dream of healing the world and helping others. That was their dream and they were definitely going to reach it.

"You think the boots are gonna work?" Lizzie asked, the seven-year-old brown haired girl was holding a camera in her hands that she was getting ready.

"I hope so," Claire admitted as she placed the iron boots on. "I've been working on them nonstop."

"What happens if they catch on fire?" Lizzie asked, wanting to prepared in case that happens.

"All taken care of," Claire said as she pointed over to one of her father's robots that she named Dummy that happened to be holding a fire extinguisher. "Dummy here will be taking care of that."

Lizzie nodded and held up the camera, facing it Claire's way. "Ready?" She asked.

"Ready."

Lizzie then gave a thumbs up after she hit the record button.

"Hi, I'm Claire Stark and behind the camera is my best friend, Lizzie Prince," Claire started as she let Lizzie turn her way, getting her face in the recording for a second as she smiled before faced it back towards her best friend. "Today, my best friend and I will be testing out my iron boots that I made to help me save my father. This is test number one."
