"I'm going to shower!" Rachel says getting up quickly and jumping away from Tony, as the doorbell rings, making her stop short.
"I'll get it." Tony says getting up himself from the couch walking over to the door, opening it revealing someone he hadn't expected to see at the Stark house.
"Ah! Tony, just the man I wanted to see." The deep rumbling voice sounds out gathering the attention of the other three in the living room. Rachel immediately who it is and runs towards Tony and the door as he lets in the visitor.
"Uncle!" Rachel launches herself at the old man in the suit, the man had worked with their father, and was a close friend of the family.
"Ah, my dear niece, I'm so glad you finally returned." He smirks catching the girl without even stepping back, Rachel smiles up at Obadiah Stane.
"Why are you here Obadiah?" Tony asks rolling his eyes at the antics of his sister.
"To talk to you about this whole, stopping weapons production, and to see if Rachel finally came home to see you." He replies without skipping a beat, barely looking at Tony as he messes up Rachel's already dirty and messy hair.
"Uncle, I agree with Tony, I don't think we should produce weapons anymore." Rachel says looking up at Obadiah, who looks stricken.
"Ah, I see. It seems the two of you have talked it over then?" Obadiah looks from Tony to Rachel, the two nodding at him, "I see, well then, my business is done here." He steps away from Rachel and back out the door into the Florida weather.
"Uncle?" Rachel takes a step after him slightly confused about his sudden mood change, Tony places a hand on her shoulder, keeping her in the house.
"I'm sorry Rachel, I have things to do." Obadiah says sternly, not even looking at the Stark siblings as he walks away. "I'll catch you two later." He waves over his shoulder as he gets into his black shiny car and practically speeds away from the mansion, leaving a very hurt and confused Rachel, and slightly sceptical Tony.
"Go take your shower Princess, Rhodey will be leaving soon, and you need to plan your get-away with Pepper remember?" Tony says looking at his sister, taking her mind off of the rudeness they had just encountered with the only living true connection to their father.
"Y-yeah, I'll go take that shower now." Rachel shakes her head and smiles at Tony, kissing his cheek she takes off upstairs, but not before stopping and looking at Rhodey.
"Bye Rhodey! Come back sometime soon ok?" She says looking quite seriously at him.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll try." Rhodey says smirking at the girl and giving her a small wave, just before she turns around and races upstairs, taking two at a time. After she was upstairs Tony enters the living room again, Pepper and Rhodey looking at him.
"He got really cold really fast." Tony says walking over to the couch and dropping on it next to Rhodey.
"It was weird, he usually is so happy to see Rachel. Looks at her like his own doesn't he?" Pepper says looking up at Tony, then down at her tablet going over the schedule for Tony for the next week or so.
"Mm." Was all the reply she got back from Tony, as Rhodey looks at the door.
"Tony's right though, I've gotta go." Rhodey says getting up clapping Tony on the shoulder, and nodding to Pepper.
"Alright man, talk to you later." Tony says still deep in thought.
"Have a nice day Rhodey, Rachel's right, don't be a stranger." Pepper says smiling at the man as he leaves. Pepper looks at Tony, who is still in thought.
"Pepper, I want you to extend your trip to China, do something to get her mind off of it ok?" Tony says suddenly looking at the assistant.
"Extend it? Mr. Stark is that really a smart idea? How will you function without me?" Pepper asks, quite seriously, even though Tony takes the last part as a joke.
"Yes Pepper, extend it. I'll be fine without you for a week or so. Besides, it's not everyday that you get shunned by someone you think of as family." He says obviously referring to how Obadiah acted to Rachel. Pepper sighs and nods.
"Alright, I'll set timers, and alarms on Jarvis for the conferences you'll have while we're gone. Plus a little extra work for Rachel and the England branch. On top of it all-"
"Pepper! It'll be ok, just set up Jarvis, I'll even ask Rhodey to help me while you two are gone." Tony says cutting Pepper off in her rambling.
"You think something bad is going to happen don't you." Pepper says looking at Tony closely. Tony looks at her sharply before sighing and nodding.
"Yeah, I do. And I don't want her around it. Should I truly need you, I'll call, but you have to keep her in China, or Japan, or wherever she wants to go, but she can't come back here for a little bit." Pepper nods at Tony, who nods back and stands. "I believe I need to shower too, before I go back to fix up the suits a little."
"Have fun, and remember, Rachel doesn't want you screwing with hers." Pepper says looking back down at her tablet, switching things around and finalizing things for the week long trip that Rachel and her are going to take.

Alright, new part, sorry it's slightly a filler, and I've decided whilst Pepper and Rachel are in China, the whole of the movie of Iron Man will take place, in the next chapter I'll tell about Rachel's and Pepper's trip as well as slightly go over what Tony's going through, but we all know what happened in Iron Man, so I won't go TOO in depth with it.
