There are questions that always been there. Questions that have been asked since day zero. And of course there are so many different answers. And though we have so many choices between the answers that came together over the centuries, we are constantly looking for new ones. We are not satisfied. We want more. Why am I tell you this? It's because someone said it and I'm saying it. Ever since... Since I became what I am, my questions are different, nobody will come up with an answer so quickly. We want research. It's not the answer we want, it's the hunt. So, what happens when we have all answers? If there are no more questions to which we can find answers? What life goal will we set ourselves, if we have it all? What do we believe in? How do we see the world, if there's no more mysteries? If there's more imagination? What happens then? -Katharina Westermeier
Like I was saying, what I am now, is the same me that I was before. Whatever, this thing did to me, it going to change me, it will change the way I do things. My work, my family, my friends, my whole entire life. I ask myself, why am I here? Am I here because I had to? No. I'm here because I was meant to do all of this. Before telling you what had happened to me, you have to hear from the beginning. I'm Crystal Stark, and I'm not afraid of me dying. I'm not afraid of what's going to happen in the future. What I'm afraid of is... losing what I already earn.
It's been a year since I was going to school. Fury enrolled me to Midtown School of Science and Technology. He wanted me to go to school while I was staying in New York for training. It was nice to be at a new school and now I'm heading to Malibu for the holidays. I arrived at the gate. As I was walking to go home, I saw Elena and Happy. I dropped my bags and ran to Elena.
"Elena!" I hugged her.
"Crystal!" And then I hugged Happy.
"Happy!"
"Crystal, it's good to see you." I picked up my bags and went to the car. We dropped off Elena home and then Happy dropped me home. I walked in the house seeing at 'Welcome home Crystal!' Sign and a big teddy bear. I saw my dads head pop out on the side of the bear.
"Welcome home!" He said and Pepper came from upstairs and hugged me. "I want to show you something." I knew what he meant. A new suit.
"Forty- six." JARVIS said. Ah, it's good to be back. Malibu, California my home. "Forty- seven." My dad is stabbing himself so one of his suits can work. What an idiot, but he's my dad. I was sitting on the chair, swinging my legs.
"Micro-repeater implanting sequence complete." My dad said.
"As you wish, Sir. I've also prepared a safety briefing for you to entirely ignore."
"Which I will." Downstairs in the shop is fun, but now it's a lab. How cool is that! It's the holidays! Christmas and New Years' are coming up. I've already bought Pepper, Happy, Elena, and my dad their gifts. "Alright, let's do this. Dum-e. Hi Dum-e. How did you get that cap on your head? You earned it." I giggled. "Hey. Hey! What are you doing out of the corner? You know what you did. Blood on my mat. Handle it."
"Chill, dad. They have feelings." I told him.
"Sir, May I remind you that you been awake for nearly 72 hours?" JARVIS told him. Well I've been sleeping well. The last time I've been awake was 48 hours so I can finish Gossip Girl. It was totally worth it. My dads robots was recoding and I was still sitting on the chair.
"Focus up, ladies. Good evening, and welcome to the birthing suite. I am pleased to announce the imminent arrival of your bouncing, badass baby brother." I can't believe I'm related to these suits. Haha, I love them. "Tight and then the wide. Stamp date and time. Mark 42. Autonomous prehensile propulsion suit test. Initialize sequence." The parts of my dad's suit started to power up. "JARVIS, drop my needle." Then, funky Christmas music started to play. I got up and started to dance so was my dad. Aw, our moments together are so nice.
"Dashing through the snow in a horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go." And my dad wiped his arm towards the parts. He did it again. Nothing.
"Crap." He did again, and the one of the parts started to whirring. The hand part went to him. Then more, and more. The parts of the suit started to go over the place. I got under the table. "Probably a little fast. Slow it down." Yeah, you think!? He music stopped playing because one if the parts crashed into it. I lifted my head to see what was going on. The last part, the helmet was still in the air.
"This is going to be horrible." I said.
"Come on. I ain't scared of you." He said talking to the helmet. I saw the whole thing. The suit was complete! Yay! "I'm the best." Then, a part came at him and he was pushed. I saw him fall in the ground.
"I love my baby brother." I joked.

"As always, Sir, a great pleasure watching you work." I ran to my dad and helped him up.
"You okay?" I took off the helmet.
"Yeah, I am." I saw blood coming from his lip. I wiped it off with my shirt, not caring there will be a stain.
