Katherine wiped away her tears she can't let Y/n see. Y/n doesn't know about her father, but she also doesn't know about how much time her mother has left. "Y/n come in to wash up for dinner please." "Coming mom." Y/n walked in headphones hanging around her neck looking optimistically at her mother. She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by her mother having a coughing fit.
"Mom, are you ok?" "Yes, Hun I'm fine. What do you want for dinner?" "I was thinking pizza or Chinese. What did the doctor say?" Katherine turns away from her and looks at the menu's that come in the mail. Tears swelled in her eyes. She could never tell her the truth. The truth that she would be leaving sooner than expected. "Oh, don't worry about that love. Your job is just to be happy that's all." "But -" "Chinese sounds great, write down what you want, and I'll call."
Katherine started to pick up the house which seemed strange to Y/n. See Y/n and her mother hated cleaning so much so that they have to designate a date to clean the house. "You, ok?" Y/n asked sitting on the kitchen stool watching her mother make herself busy. "Yes, of course, we just have a guest for dinner." "We do? We haven't had a guest for dinner since, you know what I don't know when." 'Well, it's good to try new things. It's an old friend of mine and he is just going to have dinner maybe talk for a while." "Oh god. Is it a date?" Katherine started to laugh genuinely laugh. She has never been on a date that she told Y/n about.
"No, he is just a friend we used to work together." "Right, you used to be a scientist why did you quit that again?" "I had you" "oh, don't tell me that I might get a complex." A knock at the door interrupted their banter and they both stopped to look at each other. "I think you should get it, it's your date." "Not a date." Y/n sat back down unconvinced.
"Tony hello, come in" "Katherine thanks for calling, where is she." In the kitchen looking through the Chinese menu likes it's the gospel." They walk into the kitchen cautiously. Like Y/n was a time bomb ready to explode. Tony stopped in the doorway, watching the girl her back was to them. hunched over a Chinese menu. "Mom, we can get five crab rag goons. Five! You know I would die for those."
Before Tony could do anything, Katherine pulled him into the hallway. "Look she doesn't know anything. Not you, not of how bad my condition is. None of it and for the time being I would like to keep it that way." "So, who does she think I am?" "An old friend coming for a catch up. She might make jokes that this is a date, but that's all, ok?" Tony just nodded a walked back to the kitchen.
"Oh my god mom can I get noodles, and chicken so many chickens that I end up in a food coma till July." Tony chuckled at the kid, he was there for two seconds, and he can actually tell she was funny. "No, I would not be a good mother if I let you slip into a food coma." "Oh, who care about being a good mother when there is chicken, that's orange I might add."
Y/n turned abruptly and immediately locked eyes with Tony. His breathed hitched, she looked like him. His eyes, his jawline, but overall, it was a crazy mix of him and Katherine. "Oh my god. Mom why didn't you tell me you knew Iron Man?" "Well when I knew him, he was just Tony Stark. Tony you can sit down." "Yeah ok." Tony walked further into the room sitting next to Y/n watching her in wonderment.
"So, Y/n what do you like science?" Tony asked deciding that it would easier to get used to the kid if she liked the same things as him. "No" "oh, well how about math?" "No" "What do you like?" "English, and art mostly." "Are you any good?" "Eh, you see that portrait over there I painted that." Tony looked over and saw a portrait of Katherine smiling. Tony thought that was custom made by a store. "Oh, ok so you got the art gene." Tony said more to himself than anything else. "What?" "Nothing."
Katherine started coughing again much harder than before, "mom you, ok?" Tony and Y/n both sat up and helped her to a chair. Tony had tears in his eyes and his jaw was clenched, and Y/n noticed. "Mom, what did the doctor say? and don't say nothing." Katherine looked at Tony who nodded and then back at Y/n. "Honey, I'm so sorry" "what?" "The doctor says that I only have a month maybe less left." Tears were forming in Katherines eyes as she looked down lovingly at her daughter. Who had a look of horror on her face. "What? Mom, you can't go not yet there has to be something we can do?" Y/n hugged her mother's legs as she sobbed into her knees. Katherine cradled her head and tried not to cry herself. "I'm so sorry baby."
"Is that why he's here to try and help?" "Sort of he's her to see if he can monitor you...when I'm gone." "Wait so you're not here to help?" Tony shook his head, "So you're a genius and a billionaire and you can't help." Tony kneeled down placing his hand on Y/n shoulder "I'm sorry" "no, you work with the brightest minds on earth, and you can't help!" "I'm sorry" Y/n sat their staring in disbelief in what's going to happen. She feels the eyes on her, and it made her uncomfortable. Her breath was staggering, her palms were sweating, she was angry, scared, and her brain was going a mile a minute. "If yo-you ex-cuse me" The she ran out of the room ignoring the pleas to come back.
