Tony went to Afghanistan for one of his weapons showoffs for Stark Industries. Crystal was worried for him, yes he wasn't there for her when she was growing up at some point. The war was going on, she was scared, no wait, terrified. Crystal was at home, having her best friend Elena, for a test that they had to study for advanced technology.
"Crystal? Hello?" Elena waved her hand at Crystal. She shook her head, snapping out of her thoughts.
"What?"
"He's going to call you, don't worry. Your dad promised." She was right. He did promise, when he was on his way to Kunar Province. Crystal just smiled at her that she was okay. Then all of a sudden her phone rang. Crystal ran to her phone and answered.
"Hello? Dad?" she said. Then she heard gunshots in the background. Elena looked at Crystal. " D-dad?"
"WHOA!" Then she heard an explosion. Her eyes started to water.
"Elena, get P-Pepper." Then she took off. "DAD!" Crystal screamed into the phone. Then the phone cut off. Pepper and Elena came into her room.
"Sweetie? What's wrong?" Pepper asked as she went to hug Crystal.
"It was dad. I think he's in trouble." She cried.
36 hours earlier
Tony and Happy went to Las Vegas for an award thing that Tony had. Crystal was going to her locker putting away her books since it was time to go home. Elena came behind her.
"Jesus Elena! You scared me!" She giggled.

"I'm coming over right?" She said as she closed her locker and walked out of the school. Elena was gonna come to Crystal's house just to hangout and talk about the new boy at school Marco that had a crush on Crystal. He was such a cutie. Everyone had a crush on him, but he had an interest in Crystal. They gossiped and ate as they were now waiting for Mr. Way to come a pick Elena up. After 45 minutes later, he came and they said their goodbyes.
"She left already?" Pepper came into the kitchen. "I was hoping if she can stay over."
"Yeah. Elena had a softball game tomorrow morning." Crystal said getting cookies and cream pop tarts.
"Well Crystal, I have to get going. Make sure you go to bed." She kissed my forehead and walked out. I went to my room and took a shower. I put on my shorts and my sweater and laid on my bed.
"Ms. Stark, would you like to continue watching Gossip Girl on Netflix?" JARVIS asked. You smiled.
"Yes, I would. Thank you JARVIS." I looked to my left nightstand, my favorite picture of me and dad.
