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

Hardware mode

Tony wasn't in the house when Addy awoke. She stumbled into the kitchen, uncertain if she should tell Coulson he was gone. Eventually, deciding he probably already knew, the girl took an orange and went outside. She sat a few feet away from the cliff's edge tossing orange peels over.

"Been out here long?" Coulson questioned as he sat in the grass beside her, seemingly oblivious of his suit.

"Not really, just thinking. When I was little mom used to promise we'd make a day of it and visit the ocean. She worked a lot though, we never really got around to it." Addy shrugged as if it didn't matter, it clearly did. "Guess I've seen it now." She threw the final peel with a bit more force, glaring out at the pounding waves.

Coulson patted her shoulder gently, "miss your mom?"

"Yeah. I mean she wasn't there a lot, she loved me but it was weird," the girl shrugged, "not like other moms I guess. More like a fun aunt?"

"Anything like now?"

Addy snorted, "no. Mom had rules, lots of rules. She wanted me to succeed, like she was. But when it wasn't about her work, or my school," she shrugged again, "it was more like we were friends."

Coulson nodded along as he accepted an offered orange slice. "Keep trying kiddo, Tony might surprise you."

The pair stayed outside, talking about their hobbies and preferences. Coulson loved classic cars, Addy liked to draw and had been trying her hand at sewing little felt creatures before the fire. Neither one liked blackberries, too unpredictable if you'd get a sweet or bitter one. Coulson like sunny days and the beach, Addy preferred thunderstorms and waterfalls. Coulson had snorted and asked if she was certain Stark was her father and not another pain in his butt, Addy hadn't understood.

By mid-afternoon they'd retired indoors, Coulson to the sofa where he actually watched super nanny, much to Addy's surprise. She'd joined him for a time before growing bored and, with no one around to tell her no, began wandering around the house.

"Hey Jarvis?" Addy called out to the AI as she entered what was clearly an office.

"Yes miss Addy?"

Addy approached the large mahogany desk, pointing towards the screen sitting spotless on its surface. "Can I use this computer?"

There was a moment's pause before the screen blinked to life. The girl quickly brought up a YouTube page, laughing at her favorite channel's latest post. She hadn't noticed just how late it was getting as she surfed through random channels eventually stumbling upon a remix of Tony. In typical remix fashion Stark's voice had gone techno, repeatedly chanting "ple-ple-pleasure, pleasure myself." Addy snorted and rolled her eyes before searching for the original clip.

"You don't need to be watching that crap." Tony's voice admonished from the doorway.

Addy ignored him, "you piss a lot of people off."
