The Other Stark

Tony is a handful

I don't know what is up with Tony lately. Maybe it was the fight. Maybe it is the pressure for him to realise the suit. It seems sometimes that there is only one thing on his mind, and that is giving his eighteen year old daughter a heart attack. As much as I love my dad he has gone insane with spending time together, time that is often spent not working. I am not being trained right and Pepper has basically taken over the company, despite it being promised to me one day.

Dad put on this extravagant song and dance for the opening of Stark Expo. I waiting right off stage to hear his narcissistic speech about he is the reason for world peace. I almost teared up tho when I saw grandpa Stark, a man I never got to meet. Tony grabbed my arm, said lets beat it, and then we left with Happy going by all the celebrities and fans. Tony got served for the Senate arms committee, and he sped off for the meeting. At the meeting he kept up his humorous, carefree attitude while defending iron man. He only perked up when Justin Hammer gave a lecture about weapons, even going as deep to talk about Grandpa Stark. Corneal Rhodes, an old friend of my father's from MIT, even called out the Senators who made his testifying look like he didn't support Tony having the suit. Images where brought up on a screen of people attempting to recreate the suit, which Tony just hacked and then brought up all the fail videos. Point proven, especially when Hammer Industries failed at making one too, that no one will be able to remake in at least five years. And with style he earned applause while the senator told him to go fuck himself. Just another day.

Between Stark expo and the committee meeting I was exhausted so I slept in, waking up to Tony being down in the shop. When I went down he turned whatever he was working on off, and then I was followed by Pepper who was doing her normal nagging. I stood there in shock when he named Pepper the new CEO. Just like that all "oh you're already basically running the company blah blah blah go fuck my daughter" I couldn't take that, he doesn't train me how to run the company, and then he gives it to Pepper. Time for a run, a habit I have recently picked up by Tony stressing me out and it being too early to drink. I reluctantly went to Morocco with Tony. He has apparently hired a new PA for Pepper and that made me mad, that should at least be my job there is nothing for me to do in the company. All I do all day everyday is hang out with Tony. I watched as Pepper and Tony owned that blond slut that Tony banged last year.

He acted weird again when he came out of the bathroom and demanded to race. I had to sit on the side, again. As he did his usually Hypocrite speech to me that "too dangerous for you but I'm the parent so I do what I want"

Then the worst, some psycho came out to the track and started to flip cars. That's when I ran, I ran too him. Not having a plan besides, don't let him kill dad. I ran out pulling dad out of his seat belt. He yelled at me to run as we both jumped behind a car. I jumped out of the way as Happy ran over the guy. I jumped in the car, waiting for my dad to also when the car door was split in half. I took the suit from Pepper and jumped out, right before almost getting hit with a electric whip. Dad got the suit on and soon the fight began. I watched and freaked as my dad got flung around. I had to do something but I couldn't think of anything I was helpless until Tony beat the psycho.

I tried to figure out my feelings as Tony demand I stay with Pepper as he left to talk to the caged psycho.

Soon we just tried to push the events in the back of our heads after we got on the private jet back to Malibu. All the next day news coverage talked about the race. The only thing that made me feel better was cooking breakfast with him. After three hours of goofing around he left to give Pepper an omelet we made.

I slept in supper late and only woke up to watching Cornell Rhodes leaving.

I was getting ready in my formal gear so I came in to visit dad to make sure he was getting ready only to see Pepper's new PA flirting with my dad. I walked away, hiding when I herd her behind me. He replaced his daughter with a girl we wants to bang. Fuck it. I'm drinking tonight at the party. I even kept on drinking as he got drunk and played around in his suit. The bathroom joke made me take another shot. Now everyone knows he is my father it is more than supper embarrassing. He seemed after party to start and thew out a window, then started to hit things. I ran down and tried to get the bitches to stop when I blacked out.

I woke up in a plane white room. I must of gotten shit-faced because never have I felt so much pain. When I woke up in the hospital it was Pepper and Happy who was there to greet me. I wanted to ask for my dad, but I knew there would be no point. I almost didn't want to ask what happened but I looked down and saw my arms and torso wrapped. Once I started to unwrap the bandages, i could figure what happened. I had a giant scar running down the side of my body. When Tony was shooting off the suit I must have gotten hit. A part of me wanted to say this was the final straw, but even more so I could only imagine how dad feels.

When I was finally released I had Happy drive me home, where I went straight down to the shop. There I saw Tony watching the video of grandpa Stark I sat in silence as Tony read a book. Everything stopped when I saw the intersection between Howard Stark and a young Tony. Then he began to get drunker and really started to act like Tony does now. The last reel had a heart felt speech in which he basically said he loved Tony. The next day I woke up and dad demanded we head to the company. Poor Pepper was behind the desk as the TV went on about the downside of the company. With her still on the phone he looked around and gave her a whole speech, while I kept on looking at the original Stark Expo miniature from the 70s. I looked over once the new girl and Happy came in. Once everyone left he patted me on the shoulder and said, "well just you and me kid, lets take this home. We have some work to do."

Tony had JARVIS scan the miniature and then began to take out things. "Toni do you see it?" "See what Tony" he shook his head and replied, "I think we were left a new element" sure enough with some editing there it was. I looked around measmarised by it. Tony and I exchanged looks and he grinned, "lets make a new element! Hardware mode now" Phil walked in and I grinned at him before he lifted up a round thing, "what is this doing here, do you know what this is?" I don't know what it was but it helped even a pipe out. We about set the house on fire making it, but sure enough we recreated a new element. I was so amazed then Tony put it in the core of an arch reactor. "Will this make a better suit, what was wrong with the last one," once upon a time Tony told me everything but now all he did was mumble, "I guess we will found out"

He got a call from the psycho that attacked my dad at the race, who I thought was dead. We started to track it down to Manhattan but he hung up before I could get the excat location down. Tony put in the new arch and I freaked out. He looked to me and took my arms in hand, "this is an order you have already gotten hurt, don't go to the Expo." Before I could ask why he was already gone in the suit. I looked down at the burns on my arm, almost healed, and wanted to cry. I am done with this waiting game. I had to find out on TV about the fight going on at the Expo. I looked over to the suits. I slid one on and gave it about twenty minutes before I flew over to the expo. I saw these big metal things surrounding Tony and Rhodes so I started to attack them. Once we took out enough of the bad guys drones I could hear my father yelling at me to leave and once they were gone he turned around and yelled at me to go back. Then the psycho came. In a huge suit with the electric whips. He had Tony and Rhodes by the neck before I hit with all I got in his arch reactor. With the drones rigged to blow we high tailed it out of there. Tony flew away yelling Pepper while I was told to stay with Rhodes. Once everything was safe I started to look. Rhodes and I herd the whole conversation and kiss before Rhodes flew off.

Soon Tony was taken and Pepper explained to me that my father was actually dying. That is why he has been wanting to be close to me, why we have been having fun. He didn't actually care, he didn't even bother to tell me that I am going to lose the last family that I have. I couldn't handle that. I don't know why I did what I did but I ran. Ran far away.
