The Daughter of a Superhero

When Nick Fury walked into a room he commanded everyone's attention. That wasn't the same in the Stalk household. Most of the time Tony couldn't be bothered. So of course when Fury walked into the Stark mansion and strode into Tony's office, he rolled his eyes.

"What do you want Fury?" Tony said as he looked through the papers he was signing.

He had sworn that he would take care of everything once Pepper had died, and he worked damned hard to make sure the company ran with minimal problems. He had his daughter to think about, and their future. There was no time to be a hero, he gave that up a long time ago, and while he still worked on small projects for Fury, he didn't fight anymore. He didn't want to be reminded about what had happened so long ago.

"Your kid is a handful," Nick said as he sat down. "I know the world doesn't know that she's yours Stark but I'm pretty sure she's turning heads out there. Considering she blew up the science lab."

Tony couldn't help but wonder what Fury was up to or his motives for being there were but his daughter had something to do with it.

"Riley," he yelled out wondering why he hadn't just asked Friday to get Riley for him. He was a dad in that way, calling out to her, being home for dinner, small things he had never thought about before he had a kid.

Not too long afterwards the brunette ran down and slid into the room. She smiled when she saw Fury and gave the man a quick hug before walking over to Tony and sitting down next to him.

"What's up?" she said as she looked at her father, "Hey Uncle Nick?" she smiled. Fury was the only person outside of the Matthews Family who knew that Riley was his daughter. She had an alternative life, so that the press wouldn't know, but she was a Stark through and through.

"You blew up the science lab?" Tony asked getting a knowing smile from his daughter.

"Well," she said looking down at her hands. "I was attempting to create this compound for you to use to make that line of drug detectors you know the ones we talked about, that way someone knew if they were getting drugged and I think the chemical compound I used well... it sorta exploded."

Tony couldn't help but laugh as Riley looked at him with a I'm not really guilty face, he knew she was always trying something new but when it came to school he always told her to hold back.

"I guess you forgot the rules of the house," Tony said to her trying to be serious.

"No but I was so close to a breakthrough that I sort of let it get away from me, because it's for the greater good."

Tony didn't know what to do, she was so much like him with the sassiness of her mother, but he also knew that Fury came over for a reason so he sent Riley away before turning back to the man in front of him.

"Why does her little experiment scare you so much Nick?" he ask honestly curious about why the man had shown up just because she had blown the science lab.

Fury smiled at him, like all the other times before Tony knew this had something to do with the Avengers. "Well I just wanted to say that maybe she should come to the new S.H.E.I.LD. School we've set up. And before you argue against it, I know that she already knows about Iron Man and the Avengers, you just don't want her exposed to all of that because then she would have to deal with the fact that she's Tony Stark's daughter."

"That's not why... well mostly," he said thinking back to the last time he had actually interacted with his one-time friends. I hadn't ended so well, and even though they had worked together to defeat that other worldly power hungry jack-ass Thanos, he wanted something better for his daughter.

"Tony no one knows who she is, for the most part she could just be an asset to us, and you can teach there if it would make you feel better."

He sighed thinking that he needed a break from Stark Industries, he missed the overall aspect of starting something new. He missed his one-time friends.

"I'll talk to her about it," he said which earned him a nod from Fury before the man walked out of the house. "Maybe it will be different now, maybe I can deal with seeing them all there again."

------------------------------------------------

Riley had FRIDAY playing her workshop playlist while working on a new project, she didn't want to deal with chemicals for a while since she nearly blew off her eyebrows when the science lab exploded. She knew that the Matthews would be called in the next day to deal with it, and her father was probably trying to keep her from being kicked out of another school just because she was trying to make it easier for girls to be able to detect date rape drugs.

"Riley," she head her father call out over the music, which only caused her to drop the soldering iron and jump away before it landed on her jeans.

"Damn it dad," she said as she picked it up and laid it on her work table.

"What have I told you about playing music in the workshop?"

"That it should be louder, and probably AC/DC."

"That's my girl," he said kissing her on the head.

Riley laughed, she knew him too well. "So what did Uncle Nick want today?"

"For you to go to the Avenger's School," he said.

She couldn't believe it, she knew about her father's other life long before she was born, now at sixteen someone wanted to bring her into that world. But she also remembered the ramifications of his life in that world. Her mother died because of the constant danger, and she knew that something had happened between him and Captain America, and whatever that was it had caused a rift so bad the two haven't spoken to one another for years. Almost sixteen years according to the age of the man's son.

"I don't know," she said wondering if it was a good idea especially since no one knew who she was. "Wouldn't it bring problems to what we are?"

"Riley regardless of anything you are the heir of the Stark fortune, but you are also one smart ass kid, and even though I wanted you to be more than I was, I also want you to reach your full potential. Your Uncle Peter teaches there too so it should be alright, he can help you."

"Okay, and it's closer than the school I was going to so I wouldn't need to take a nearly two hour train ride to get there. We could have dinner together and everything."

"Well," her father hesitated. "He asked me to come and teach at the school as well."

"So we can be home at the same time for once?"

"I'm thinking about it, it might be good to take a break from S.I. plus I'm pretty sure that Vision has the company handled when I'm not around."

"That's because he doesn't sleep," she smiled thinking about at least some normal time with her father. They could make Italian food, or watch horrible movies, or even invent something together.

"As long as I keep up with my projects, which means," he smiled. "Show me what you have."
