Danika was shocked, to spot a metal hand underneath a pile of dirt, stone, rubble... She raced towards it and realised it was near the lake she'd go swimming in.
When she slowed down, her breathing was uneven as she observed the find with her own two eyes. She had never seen it before, so why was it there now?
"What the hell-." She stopped herself and raked her fingers through her dark auburn hair which was tied in a messy bun. She crouched down onto her knees, trying to get a better look at it. She poked it, before confirming that it was in fact not a figurement of her imagination.
"That's so cool." She mumbled to herself in excitement. She scooped both her hands underneath the metal, it was larger than her own two hands. It probably didn't help that she was smaller than the average woman her age. As she hoisted herself up and attempted to take the hand with her, a metal arm appeared from under the dirt.
Her scream didn't even last for a second, not even her hold on the hand as she dropped it in shock and fright and backed away from it.
Shock, nervousness, fright. But the emotion she felt for the majority of this sudden situation, was curiosity. And excitement. And confusion. Yeah, confusion overruled all of them. She tried again after composing herself and pulled the metal arm.
As she pulled, more metal surfaced from underneath the rubble. A shoulder, a head. A torso. No... an entire metal body.
When finally everything was pulled out she dropped the arm and observed her findings.
"It's a robot." She confirmed. Deformed, and missing external and internal parts, but nevertheless, it was a robot. "What the hell is a robot doing here!?" She groaned, making a commotion to no one but herself. What would her Mum believe? Especially when she would come home to find her daughter cleaning up a robot.
'You did not make that yourself.' Damn right she'd say that. But she wouldn't know. It looked so high tech, so sleek and modern. But that was when Danika noticed a little emblem near the neck area.
S.T.A.R.K.
It was a Stark robot. Tony Stark. Tony Stark, the legionnaire, the Iron Man!
Danika freaked. A possibly decommissioned robot that once worked for Tony Stark. Her Idol. The reason why she looked into mechanics and robotic engineering.
"Surely he won't mind." Danika chuckled as she grabbed hold of the same arm. "He would've found it long ago if he wanted it back."
