They drove home in silence a I pitched ringtone breaking it. Startling Pepper, "hello? Yes, Tony I have her, not good." After a minute or two she says goodbye and hangs up looking at Y/n. "That was your father, he is worried sick." There it is again 'father' a few days ago Y/n and Tony were fine. Now she is pushing herself away from him. Well, a few days ago, the idea of Tony being her dad didn't sink in yet. Now she is looking at her future stepmother, as if she just threatened her.

The storm has stopped for the most part and just a misty New York remained. The car stopped at the at the front entrance and she looked up seeing Tony landing on the balcony. She shuffled in with zero energy, she cried everything out. She couldn't feel anything. Not even sadness. She was just blank. She walked to the living room, Pepper and Happy just behind her. Tony runs in still in his suit and stops in his tracks at the sight of Y/n.

She stopped in the middle of the room and looks around; all the technology around her. The luxurious furniture and decor. There were no pictures on the walls only modern art that didn't make much sense. A Giant picture of Iron man on top of the fireplace. Tony says her name, but she doesn't respond. She just stares at the portrait of the famed hero. No emotion on her face. He kneels in front of her, putting both of his hands on her shoulders. The cool iron taking her out of her mind. She finally looks into his worried tear brimmed eyes.

"What were you thinking!? You scared me half to death!" His voice broke as he brought her in an embrace. Hugging her gently so he doesn't hurt her with the suit. "Never do that again. I thought," He cut himself off with a tear full gasp trying to catch his breath. "You had me looking all over this city for you! What were you thinking!" His voice raised fear washed over his voice.

Y/n looked down; her voice quiet only Tony could hear her. "I just wanted to go home. I wanted things to go back to the way that things were. But it isn't, nothing is there."

"You are home."

"No! I am in your home. This isn't mine. I have no memories her. I am just some kid living in your house. I was ok till everything started to sink in."

"Till what sinked in." he says, his suit dissipating into a chip behind his ear. He brushes her hair behind her ear, swiping away her tears. "That you're my dad. That my mom is gone. That everything is going to be changed." He nods and listens silently trying to hold back his tears. "Did you anything about my mom? or was she just a fling?" He stayed silent, "Just a fling got it." She was left his grasp about to turn away.

"Her favorite color was purple, because of her favorite flower which is a lilac. I know because I would get her a lilac every time, I saw her." Y/n turned back almost in shock. She assumed that they were a one-night stand. "You saw her more than once?" Tony smiled remembering all the little dates that they had. "Yeah, I loved your mom I really did."

"Then what happened?" Tony got up went to pour himself a drink. "She saw me for what I was. Which was a tyrant who sold weapons. Y/n that was then. I promise I am not that guy anymore. I am with Pepper; I save the world instead of destroying it. If you are not comfortable here, I'll change it. What do you want? What would make it home?" He asks honestly downing his scotch to calm his nerves. He would never tell her this, but he had a nonstop panic attack since she ran out. Terrified he lost his daughter.

"I just don't want to be you." He laughed dryly, "Sweetheart I already have a me. Just be you. I think you have a good heart that could do great thing someday that's all I was saying to the team. Now Thor is a walking ken doll and took it too far. But if your wannabe an Avenger be an Avenger." She nods in understanding he walks over and hugs her. "Y/n you are going to be trained though. I'll be damned before I lose you, okay?" She takes a deep breath. "Okay, but I'm but I'm not going to like it."

"I wouldn't expect you too. Now go and get changed your going to catch a cold. I'll order some food and we can settle down. Been a long day." She goes to get changed she made it halfway up the stairs when Tony called her. "Yes?"

"You don't have to call me dad now but know that I will be acting like one."

"Okay." She goes to her room relieved that she can take her time with labels.
