Iron Girl (Avengers Fan Fiction)

Chapter 4 - Family Time

Paige's P.O.V

When I got home I immediately ran to my room to do my homework so I wouldn't have to listen to Pepper Pott's speech on procrastinating... Which I am a victim of nearly all the time. I had only the maths, which I finish with speed. I spent about twenty minutes studying and then went into my closet to get dressed into my 'engineering outfit'. Naomi was at one of her friends houses today (I didn't pay much attention because I was kind of thinking about other things than her sleepover agenda). I slipped on my black tank top and black leggings and went back out into the living room. I looked at my dad walk in the door. "Hey kiddo," he smiles, noticing me straight away. "Hey dad... Can I... Steal some of your stuff again?" I ask fidgeting with my hands. "Uhm... Sure go ahead... I'll meet you down there," my dad mumbles, checking his phone. "Mkay," I mumble, walking towards my dads workshop.

When I get there I walk over to his tools and start taking what I need. When I'm about to walk back I accidentally knock a case. I put the tools down and pick up the metal case. I examine the tag on the front of it. Property of H. Stark. Oh my god... I thought in excitement. I fiddled with the locks and soon enough it popped open. I see blueprints, movie reels - Movie reels?! Jackpot! Stark history is kind of... Never mentioned to me. I look up and see my dad just walking up to me, on his phone, not noticing what I was actually doing. When he looks up he smiles at me. "You found it eh?" he laughs, pointing to the case. "Uhm... Yeah... I'm sorry-" "For what?" he asks, turning it to him. "Uhm... Opening property that is not mine..." I nod, that was the rule in my dads workshop. Don't touch unless given permission. "It's not mine either," he smirks, pointing to the tag. "Well... What do we do with it then?" I ask, fixing my hair into a ponytail. "What were you gonna' do with it Paige?" my dad asked, rummaging through the stuff himself. "Uhm... Nothing but those movie reels did interest me," I smile, picking one up. 

By the way, my father and I have minimal contact whatsoever... Just like him and his dad... And I know he meant to mean different, but I guess he just doesn't have the time for one daughter never mind two. I mean, he owns a multi-billion dollar business... And saves the world... And has to deal with Steve Rogers being on his bad side now... 

"Take 'em, watch 'em, put 'em back," he smiles, pushing the case back over to me. "Where are you going?"  I ask, sighing. "I'm... Busy Paige... But but, in a few days its gonna be you and Naomi's birthday and trust me I'll be there for the full day," he sighs. "And it takes a birthday for you to spend a whole day with me huh?" I cross my arms, feeling annoyed that he never actually spends time with Naomi and I. "Paige I-" "I guess the saying is like father like son," I exclaim, running towards the living room and into my bedroom. I hear my phone buzz on my locker, I pick it up to see who it was. I sit up and see my reflection in my the mirror on my wardrobe. My eyeliner and mascara were running and I looked like a panda... I started to cry. I answer my phone forgetting to look at the name. "Hello?" I say, my voice shaky. "Uhm... Paige are you okay?" Dean asked. "Y-yeah... I'm okay," I mumbled, getting a tissue and wiping my eyes, making the black makeup running down my face smudge EVERYWHERE now.

"You don't sound it," he replies, sounding concerned. "Do you want me to come over?" he asks after me not replying. "You know what, meet me at the shopping mall in twenty... Please," I reply, beginning to stop crying. "Oh... Kay... See you then," he says, letting me hang up. I hang up the phone and start cleaning up my makeup. I change my outfit into an Evanescence tank top, black leggings and a pair of black creepers. I pull my hair out of the ponytail and brush my hair and plait it. I put new makeup on and then I had five minutes to get to the shopping mall. I walk out my room and my mom looks at me. "Are you okay Paige?" she asks, probably noticing me running to my room earlier. "Yup... Just forgot I needed to meet Dean at the mall..." I nod, slipping on my black leather jacket. I put my phone in my pocket. "Alright, be home by ten though..." she smiled, waving at me. "Okay, bye mom," I say, waving back at her and running outside.

-------------- At the Mall

When I got to the mall, Dean was already sitting by a fountain waiting for me. "Sorry I'm late..." I smile, walking up to him. "No problem... I mean, you didn't sound so okay on the phone Paige," Dean said, looking at me concerned. "It's just my dad, I mean, everyone wishes Iron Man was their dad but... He never has time for me or Naomi," I sigh, sitting on the edge of the fountain. "I know Paige, none of our dads really get time for us because of the Avengers..." he replies sitting beside me. "Well... I guess I suffer more since I have a dad who saves the world and runs a multi-billion dollar business..." I nod, shaking my head and changing the subject. "So why'da call me?" I ask, looking at him fix his chocolate brown hair.

"You never answered my note earlier," he nods, looking back at me. I blush and laugh. "Well... I couldn't really answer you when I was getting screamed at for being smarter than a teacher," I joked. "Well how about answering it now?" he asks, smirking. I look down at my hands that were shaking like crazy. Paige... Barton likes you... You like him...He likes you back... The thought get running through my head again and again, until I finally leaned in and kissed him. "That answer your question Dean?" I smile, leaning on the marble edging of the fountain with my hand. "Yeah..." he giggled, kissing me back.
