The genius inventor in the underground (Arcane x reader)

Chapter 2

As I peel my eyes open and everything hurts "damn my head" I grow out as I grab my head doing my best to sit up. I hear a squeak of the floorboards and a quirky dash of light feet rush as I look up I see a wooden door open a crack. I take a moment to look around the room It is a good-sized room with a small bed and an old dresser pushed against one side of the room. That's when I realized I was not in my room at all this was a new room I didn't recognize.

"ok.. totally not creepy at all waking up in a place I don't recognize.." as I make my way to the door the memories start to come one by one as the realization hits me. That my parents are gone and I'm never going To see them again.

I made my way down some stairs and the closer I  got the more things I had to dodge pipes and gadgets hanging down from the ceiling.  As I made it to the bottom I realized something.

I am in heaven! So many gadgets and parts oh do I have so many ideas on what to use these for.

"morin' kid"  a gruff voice calls out to me. I turn to the voice to see the man with the impeccable sideburns there is.  Benzo sitting behind a counter next to some kid with white hair sitting next to him seemed to be trying to fix something.. not very well or at least how I would fix it. "nice to see you moving kid you had me worried for a minute. Come on over I want you to meet Ekko. Gekko this is y/n she's gonna be staying with us for a while." Ekko gives a small wave with a smile as he looks at me in a quiet voice  "I'm sorry about..."

"What are you two building over there?" sorry kid I had to interrupt you i didn't want to think about that right now. If I thought about it I'm sure I would fall apart. They both give each other a look knowing im dodging what happened but I'm thankful they let me.

"We just tinkering with this machine here gotta friend of mine who broke it a while ago and wanted it fixed but it's not going too well." I head over to the counter so I can take a closer look. "mind if I take a look?" as I already start to pull the machine closer to me to get that look. I see they give each other a look but I don't care at the moment because the world is shit and I can't fix that yet but right now I can fix this. I start grabbing the tool on the counter and for what feels like a minute I get the machine working again. Just a few things lost and getting in the way nothing major. I took an extra minute to make sure it didn't become lost the same way again.

"there you go" was all I said as I put the tool in my hand down on the counter. Benzo looked impressed as he leaned back in his chair. ekko looked the most excited not just at the idea of getting a friend but this one liked tinkering as much as he did. They also seemed good at it. Maybe even give him some tips. "you tinker kid" Benzo asked as he gave a once over of my work. "yeah.. but what I like to do i build my stuff." he nodded his head in understanding as he smiled at me "well kid if you don't mind how about you help me and ekko around the shop."

"will I be able to build my stuff too?"

he gives off a chuckle "You gotta spark don't you kid"

"My name is actually stark, y/n stark, and that doesn't really answer my question ."

Hello!

I hope you like it so far. I've never written before I have just read so many other amazing works.

So, the first couple of chapters are just Tony's back story. I know it seems weird the way I wrote her , but I think even Marvel Tony would focus on small details like that and make jokes to help with the reality that going on all around as a coping mechanism.
In the next chapter, some time is going to pass before she meets the other kids and sees Vander again.
I hope you guys like this story!
