Battle Cry (Nico Di Angelo Fanfic)

Whipping Maserati

I woke up to the sun attempting to burn my eyes. Yup that's what it was doing but I couldn't argue because the rain and thunder had stopped. Mother Nature had finally put an end to her tantrum and was letting the sun shine again.

I quickly hopped out of bed. Actually scratch that I more or less crawled out of bed and walked to the bathroom looking like I'd just taken a trip to hell and back. But saying that I hopped out of bed just seems more attractive. I quickly did my morning routine and made my self presentable and walked out my room and onto my floor. Yeah you heard me right a whole damn floor. When we moved to Stark tower which currently is being changed to Avengers tower dad had given each member a floor I having the top floor with my very on pool.

Honestly I think he was just trying to make up for making me move across the country just for my own safety.
Bullshit.
I had been here for about a month now and I could tell my dad was hiding something from. 

" Good Morning Miss. Stark" Jarvis voice rand through the entire floor
" hey Jarvis what's good" Jarvis had become my friend very quickly over the years. Often he'd be there when dad was gone for long periods of time. Especially during his disappearance.

"Mr. Stark is waiting for you in the kitchen, then you have a Training session with Widow"
"thanks Jarvis"
I ran down towards the elevator in a much better mood then last night. I guess a good nights sleep had taken the edge off. Which I was thankful I was never to fond of being serious. That's another thing I got from my dad taking everything has a joke. Trust me it helps keep your nerves calm.
The elevator opened and I saw Steve sitting on the couch. Without stopping I ran by quick shouting out a "morning uncle Steve". I didn't bother stopping for a response but I did hear him chuckle a bit. The Avengers had quickly become like a much needed extended family which was a nice shift from it juts being Dad and Pepper all the time.

Walking into the kitchen I saw Dad was sitting on a barstool with his elbows resting on the island and a box in between his elbows. My steps slowed down as a million thought ran through my head the most important one being 'Where's my breakfast".  Yes I incredibly love food. Food is my life. 

He probably heard my footsteps has he looked up at me his eyes softening a bit. His dark circles had disappeared and colour had returned to his face. He didn't break his promise. Not that I was expecting him too. He'd always kept his promises especially the ones me made to me.
He smiled " I got you a present"
And that right there were the five words I didn't want to hear. I stopped dead in my tracks. Now don't get me wrong in not ungrateful or something. I love my dad and anything he's ever gotten me. Sometimes though he tends to go over board. And every time he feels like he's disappointed me even a little bit he turns to buying me something. A present meant he had done something stupid and was already asking for forgiveness. I may come from money but I don't go around flaunting it around.

Well as simple as life gets when Tony Stark is your dad.
" dadd" I was about to start on why I didn't need something. Judging my the size of the box it was probably an expensive ring or earrings. Which honestly would have been such a waste cause I only wear one ring on my right hand middle finger. a simple sliver band with two small diamonds on the side and Pearl in the middle. I've had it my whole life and it's always seemed to fit no matter what finger I put it on. add that to the strange things that have happened in my life list.
Before I could say anymore dad opened the to box to show me a set of keys. My jaw dropped open and eyes went wide.

he got me a car. he got me another car. Honestly a car was the last thing I needed. We had an entire underground floor for cars. Yet here dad comes with another one.
Before I could say anything he started saying
" look kid you can't say no, I'm Tony Stark and I'll get you another god damn car if I want to. "
