And then we were two (Tony stark's daughter fic)

Deadly Race

"Ok Addy, grab your bag from the stack and follow me," Pepper began as the group piled tiredly through the door of the large hotel suite.

Tony was halfway to the bar, situated along the edge of the small kitchen, before Pepper's next words stopped him in his tracks. "Where's Addy?"

Happy glanced around the luggage cart he'd been pulling along. At any other moment him picking up bags and looking around the cart, as if the girl would pop up any moment, would've been comical. Tony strode back across the room and through the door before any of the other adults could move. "Where was she last, for sure?!" He snapped, tugging Happy along behind him as he hurried back towards the elevator. 

Happy stumbled after his boss looking horrified, "Umm I, I'm not sure? I remember thinking she looked tired when I was loading the bags, she wouldn't let me take that backpack of hers for her, after that I'm not sure."

Tony pounded the lobby button repeatedly and wondered for the first time ever what was so great about the top floor. Running a hand through his dark brown hair in agitation he let out a long sigh, "fantastic, so she could be back at the car for all we know."

The group tumbled frantically into the lobby minutes later, rushing towards the receptionist.

"Have you seen-"

"-little girl-"

"-tired and got lost-" Pepper and Happy questioned the startled worker, talking over each other until the young man stood completely perplexed.

"Quiet the pair of you!" Tony snapped finally. "Little girl, bout this tall," he motioned hip height on him which was actually shorter than Addy stood. "Long brown hair big brown eyes, you seen her?"

"She actually a bit taller," Happy offered.

The man, who was probably in his late teens or twenties, stared wide eyed at the billionaire. "You're Iron Man!" He gasped.

"Yes I'm Iron Man, you're the nice lobby worker about to tell me if you've seen a little girl.." Tony prompted agitatedly.

"Oh uh, no," he looked down sheepishly. "Sorry my shift just started."

"Fantastic," Stark growled turning towards the doors to check outside.

"Oh! I could check the cameras," the man called after the trio as they reached the front doors.

Tony growled, "why didn't he suggest that to begin with?!"

"Quiet we need his help to find your daughter!" Pepper snapped in response.

Tony plastered a charming smile onto his face, Pepper couldn't help but notice the tightening in his jaw giving away the less than sincere gesture. "That would be incredibly helpful thank you."

They followed the young man quietly into a tiny office behind the main desk. It was a dark room with a tall metal filing cabinet and a row of small boxlike television screens stacked on top of each other showing various areas of the hotel. A small wooden desk sat in the left hand corner holding an ancient Microsoft computer. "Alright so camera one is the main lobby. She was with you when you came in yeah?"

"Yeah," Tony began, cringing slightly as Pepper responded with, "we think so."

Tony shrugged sheepishly, "we're all pretty beat if you could just pull up the footage?"

"Oh right, yeah," the young man fiddled with the computer before pointing towards a screen to the upper left of the stack. "So this is you coming in," he offered uselessly as his guests' eyes focused on watching themselves walk into the building.
