Not what we had expected

12. Her past

Chapter 12

New York

Tony POV

The Trip back to New York was silent. Not even Tony could find it in himself to crack a joke or annoy someone. Tony knew what they were all thinking.

Tony led himself to his room in the Avengers tower flopping down on the bed staring at the ceiling.

"Jarvis, set up some scans of our own for Kat. Hack into SHIELD as well and see if they have any other secrets I want to know about." Tony commanded.

"Sir what sort of scans would you like." Jarvis asked.

"Facial, energy, anything. Don't tell anyone we are doing this"

"Yes sir."

And if I can find or get to her before Fury I want to ask her some questions of my own.

**the next morning***

(Still Tony POV)

"Okay now that Tony has finally joined us, we will spilt up..." Clint droned on about which areas to look and what to do it we found her.

Tony was already bored. But since he didn't want to tell them he was already searching with scans he had to go along with it.

Eventually Clint stopped and everyone headed off in different directions. Tony stood where he was watching everyone go off on their own little missions.

I'm going for something fried now.

Tony had been given Central Park and her old hotel room which was easy for Tony, he just asked Jarvis to scan over Central Park while he headed to the Four Seasons to check out her old hotel room.

Tony had snuck in the back and up to the penthouse. It seemed so long ago that they had come here when in fact, it had only been 3 days.

How did she even pay for this? Tony thought to himself as he entered the expensive pent house.

For him this was nothing for costs but a 16-year-old girl either had stolen money or rich as parents Tony guessed.

The penthouse looked the same even the broken window. Tony guessed Fury had asked them to keep it that way or not to enter as it was 'case evidence' or some stupid thing like that.

"Jarvis, scan the room for any traces of Kat." Tony told his watch.

He was quite proud of his watch. He now could take Jarvis anywhere with him and it was still an expensive looking watch.

"Nothing I could find sir." Jarvis quietly walked around the room before picking up the iPod that was still plugged into the speakers and flipped though the song.

"At least she had a good taste of music." Tony said to himself flipping through AC-DC and Metallica.

"Jarvis scan this room, is there any hidden compartments or things like that?" Tony asked his eyes gliding around the room.

"Left hand drawers, second draw down, behind it." Jarvis helpfully replied.

Tony pockets the iPod and moved towards the drawers slowly taking out the second draw and reaching in the back. He hand found a small box which he grabbed and lifted out.

The box was old. Black in colour and tattered around the edges. Tony lifted the lid and took out the contents.

There were a few little rocks and shells, some of them precious gems others dirty simple rocks and a small book.
