Chapter 2

Third person pov
=================

Alexandra did not expect to be woken up at 5:47 in the morning by Tony Stark ringing her. Wait, no, let's be honest she did expect it because for some not so strange reason, Tony seems to insist on doing it all the time as part of his "older brother" role.

First person pov
=================

The ringing was loud and harsh as it echoed around in my ears. In a desperate attempt to block out the noise, I, shoved my head under my pillow, alas, this approach turned out to be unsuccessful. Thus I let out a sigh of defeat before rolling over and snatching my phone off of the bedside table. My finger darted madly at the phone screen in an attempt to tap it. After a moment or so my brain finally began to function, and I managed to click the accept button.

"Well, hello, morning glory," Tony's voice boomed into my ears while they begged for peace and quiet so I could catch up on some much needed rest. However, I knew Tony wouldn't leave me alone until he got whatever it was he rang me for, was out of his system.
"Hello Tony," I said, my teeth gritted.

"Well, don't you sound like shit," he chuckled. Chuckled. This asshole rings me at 4:47 in the morning, ruins my sleep and then has the fucking audacity to mock me.
"Well, maybe if someone didn't constantly interrupt my otherwise good enough sleep schedule, then I would at least be sounding like energised shit."

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning"
"Why did you ring me, Tony?" I spat out, I was this close to hanging up, slamming my phone back down on the dresser and going back to sleep. Wait, no scratch that I would prefer my phone to still be in tact at the end. So I will carefully place my phone back on the dresser and then go back to sleep.
"Whaaat, I can't just ring the person who is practically my sister to say hi?"
"That excuse would be valid if it was not 4:47 in the goddamn morning right now, Tony!"

"Alright, alright, don't get your knickers in a knot."
"Please never say that again. Now, hurry up get to the point, or else im hanging up and going back to sleep, " I pleaded, I'd gotten to sleep late last night. I'll have to wake up at 6:30 to be at work on time, which is less than 2 hours away! I had meant to get to sleep earlier, but I wasn't feeling the best. And well, the best thing to cure me was obviously not getting extra sleep but re-watching all the maze runner movies, i mean you gotta have all of your priorities straight.

"Well if you go back to sleep you can bet that I'll come over and throw a bucket of water on you to wake you up,"he countered. Unfortunately if he did do that it wouldn't be the first time.

"Tony." I grumbled
"Okay, okay, I have a really important question to ask you"
"Go on.." I said, I was starting to feel extremely impatient now wondering what Tony had to ask me.
"Well you know how you're coming over tomorrow after work, I was wondering did you want pizza or shwarma?"
I let out a little crazy laugh at hearing that.
"...ANTHONY STARK. DID YOU SERIOUSLY RING ME BEFORE THE CRACK OF DAWN, TO ASK WHAT KIND OF SNACK I WANT TOMORROW, WHEN YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE WORK EARLIER TOMORROW MORNING" I ranted, though honestly I should have expected this.

"Well-"
"No Tony. I'm going to sleep goodnight."
I was just about to press the hangup button when suddenly Tony shrieked.
"WAIT"
"what." I snapped
"That's wasn't the only reason I rang you, and hear me out before you start blabbing away again. I rang you because I had an idea. I thought of a way we could test out a theory of mine. And my theory, well, it's about why you don't have any soul words on your arm." I just sat there in a stunned silence once he finished speaking.
"Hey, I know that I said not to start talking but I only meant while I was saying that. Lex? Are you there?"

"Would this give me a better chance of meeting my soulmate? Well if I have one"
"Yeah it would and well I hate this mushy stuff but listen Lex I know that you have a soulmate out there somewhere, because you of all people definitely deserve it."
"Thank you Tony"
"So.. is that a yes you'll let me test my theory?"
"Yep it's your lucky day. Now, goodnight or goodmorning I guess... and tony, try and get some actual sleep for once."
"Yeahhhh we'll see about that. Goodnight Lex see you tomorrow." Then he hung up and was gone.

I placed my phone back on mu vedsude dresser and snuggled back into my duvet covers. Once I finally relaxed again, a huge smile appeared on my face and I soon fell asleep thinking about ny possible soulmate.

   The next day I couldn't hide the huge grin on my face despite how I tried to hide it. I even considered bringing a face mask in with me and pretending I had a cold, just in case I ran into someone like Nick Fury. If he thought I was mocking him, well he'd have my head. But I turned down the idea of the face mask because if I did run into Nick Fury I'm fairly sure my grin would slip away and I'd nearly start quaking in my boots. Trust me nobody really ever intimidates me, but Nick Fury is one scary man.

   I reached work at 8 o clock on the dot. As usual I did my normal entry routine of greeting the security guard, signing in, chatting with some co-workers, heading to my office and starting on my work. However the whole time that I was meant to be engrossed in my work was spent daydreaming. I assembled scenarios, which in all of them I would meet my soulmate finally. I couldn't bring myself to picture them though, as I didn't want envision someone who looked completely different to what my actual soulmate would look like.

But if I was being honest their was something in my gut that told me that they would have gorgeous, gleaming eyes that would light up and shine like stars when the person was passionate about something. Though I didn't want to get my hopes up to high about my soulmate so I brushed the feelings back down.

  At lunch time my phone rang once again the shrill, sound nearly surrounding me. I presumed it was Tony again ringing to ask more questions about this evening, except when I grasped my phone and glanced at the caller ID I noticed that it wasn't him but Bianca. Biance Hennessey, my best friend.

  I have to admit I was a bit shocked as she never rings me during work hours as she takes her job as assistant managers at the bank very seriously. I was pleased that she had rang me, though, as it had been about a week since I last spoke with her. I quickly tapped accept and held the phone up to my ear.

"Hey Bianca", I greeted trying my best to speak as clearly as possible.
"Hiya Lex! How are you doing?"
"I'm fairly tired, but that's my own fault I stayed up late last night bur apart from that I'm doing pretty well, what about you?"
"Well that's the reason why I rang you..", she said trailing off at the end of her sentence.
"What is it?" I questioned, wondering what had happened to her.
"You'll never believe what happened.."
