"We'll call her...Skyler." said Tony looking at his daughter adoringly, "she will fly the skies and we will beat the cwap out of those evil dudes."

"Then I guess it's my turn to choose a name. She will start beating villains off when she's older, much older. But now, I want a name that represents strenght, intelligence and kick-ass skills. I want a name that's in history."

"How about... Hera? I know you like Greek mythology so how's that?"

"Really Tony? Hera, goddess of marriage and women?"

"Oh, then what?"

"What is Zeus's favorite daughter?"

"Demeter?"

"ATHENA!!!!! Skyler Athena Stark, the perfect name."

"What's Athena goddess of?"

"Didn't you ever hear me when I talked to you about her?" Tony shakes his head with a scared look on his face, "Athena is the Greek virgin goddess of reason, intelligent activity, arts and literature. Athena is the daughter of Zeus. She sprang full grown in armour from his forehead, thus has no mother. She is fierce and brave in battle but, only wars to defined the state and home from outside enemies. She is the goddess of the city, handicrafts, and agriculture. She invented the bridle, which permitted man to tame horses, the trumpet, the flute, the pot, the rake, the plow, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot. She is the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She was Zeus's favorite child and was allowed to use his weapons including his thunderbolt. Her favorite city is Athens, which she's goddess of. Her tree is the olive. The owl is her bird. She is a virgin goddess that..."

"Wow Pepper how can you remember all that?"

"If I can remember how much stuff you broke and need to pay for then this is kinder stuff."

"Ouch, how much..."

"I won't finish today but basically a couple cities."

"Oh, how about we go back to baby names. Skyler Athena Stark, perfect name. She will be beautiful, strong, smart, like me."

"Oh I hope more."

"Once again, ouch." Crash sounds from directly upstairs, continued by some yelling. Tony shifted once again into his suit and covered Pepper and Skylar with the curtain. "Mandarin, not again. Pepper we need to get Skylar out of here, it can..."

*CRASH*

"Aha, there you are my enemy Iron Man, I have been restlessly locating your technological essence for a long period of twenty-four hours."

"Isn't it better to say you were looking for me?"

"Still silly Iron Man, why are you located in a baby's custody room?"

"None of your business Mandy so lets go outside and give me three minutes max to kick your monkey butt."

"Why should I when I have a little something in front of me that could practically tear your soul to pieces? Stop." He said the last pointing with his ugly finger at Skyler and Pepper.

"Whatever, they're just some random girls I saw here when I was searching for you." Upon the hurt and horrified face Pepper had on, the Skyler's miniature body was giggling, her now being as awake and aware as a baby can be. Tony turned his back to Mandarin and winked at Pepper, signaling her it was part of his plan. "Well, now if you excuse me I have some fun butt kicking to do." Iron Man ran toward Mandarin  and threw them off the window and of course, kicked his butt.

Pepper ran down to get someone to help her unplug Skyler and take her down, as it was far too dangerous. Rhodey was off kicking away Mandarin's minions out of the entrance.

Mandarin wouldn't give up and as his last dirty resource he went back to the room in which a laughing Skyler sat on a bench. Mandarin moved slowly towards the baby saying stuff like "I'm gonna kill you cutie." or "Who's a cute little about-to-be-killed baby? Huh you are, you are!" The two months old baby was looking at Mandarin with an as-evil-as-it-can-get-for-a-baby stare, and hit a button on the bed. This made the big bed suddenly fold itself inward like it does on cartoons, getting Mandarin's head stuck in the middle. Mandarin was pulling at his head ferociously when suddenly with one last yank, Skyler pressed the same button leaving Mandarin scrambling to regain his balance before he went out the window. Mandarin fell as an astonished Virginia "Pepper" saw her baby girl fight off her first enemy.

"TONY!!!!!" yelled  Pepper as she went and cuddles Skyler in her arms, which the baby didn't like.

"Pepper are you alright-who cares more importantly is my baby all right?" Tony, you just made a mistake.

"I'm fine but..." Pepper lowered her face and gave her husband a 'what-did-you-say?' stare. "who cares? More importantly? Tony what do you..."

"WHY is she out of her intense care bed?"

"I don't know but she got out and fought Mandril off!"

"WHAT?"

"Don't ask me details I just saw how she hit him in the head by folding the bed and basically sending him off the hole. Another to add to the cities account."

"W.O.W. MY BABY'S FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! Tony snatched Skyler out of Pepper's arms and threw her up in the air, "Skyler you are gonna be daddy's little girl and a man's lady! Wait, is that how you say it? If it's lady's man for boys, then..."

"Not gonna happen Stark let's get our baby home, she's great I guess by her nonstop laughter."

"Well she still will be perfect, just like her..."

"mom. Why thank you honey."

"Fine. Daddy." he whispered with a smug smile, earning a giggle from Skyler.

"Heard that!" Pepper was out in the hall,

"How did she..."

"You're not the only cool one you know."

"I know, it's sticky."
