"Pep, can you fix my necklace I think it's caught on my hair." Astra asked her ginger friend in the car.

"Yeah. Here." Astra turned around to give Pepper access to the back of her necklace. "There you go. You look beautiful, Astra."

"Thank you." The brunette accepted the compliment. Pepper was right. Astra wore a lilac colored dress that hugger her body nicely, simple silver heels and a silver necklace that looks nicely with her grey eyes. Astra's eyes are her favorite feature. In the right lighting, the grey looks blue, sometimes green. Her long brown hair that is usually down to her waist is pulled into a need updo.

"Here we are girls." Tony announced as the car comes to a stop.

The trio stepped out of the car. Tony making a peace sign while Astra walked out with Pepper and following her inside.

"Hey whatever happens in the next twenty minutes just go with it." Tony warned quickly.

"Go with it? Go with what?" Astra raised an eyebrow, but refrained from starting a lecture at the moment since a photographer came over to get a picture.

"Mr. Stark." Natasha, or Natalie, walked over to them in a nice pink dress. "Hello, how was your flight?"

"It was excellent." Astra walked with the small group through the crowded venue and towards the bar.

"Anthony is that you?" An obnoxious voice called.

"My least favorite person on earth," Tony commented under his breath.

"Pal, how you doing." A man Astra recognized but hasn't met pat Tony on the shoulder.

"Justin Hammer." Tony mumbled.

"You're not the only rich guy here with a fancy car. You know Christine Everheart from Vanity Fair." Hammer introduced Christine, someone that Astra dislikes on a high level.

"Hi" Christine greeted.

"Hi." Pepper greeted back, awkwardly.

Pepper and Christine exchanged very awkward yeses as Astra sat there, receiving her drink.

"Oh god." Astra muttered into her drink.

"Astra!" Christine greeted the female that was trying to avoid bing seen. "Didn't see you. How are you." Christine faked a smile.

"Oh, you know. I was fine up until now." Astra faked a smile as well, grabbing her drink and leaving the bar.

"Right." Christine said than directing her attention to Hammer.

Astra made her way over to the table. Feeling a pair of eyes on her, she looked around the venue and sat down at a round table. Watching the person speak on the television, until a piece of paper hit her shoulder. She looked around as another hit her neck. In the table next to her was a man, not too older than Astra. Brown hair, hazel eyes, fair skin.

"Can I help you?" She raised an eyebrow in annoyance.

"Yea, your Tony Stark's sister right? Iron Man?" He asked enthusiastically.

She hated being known as 'Tony Stark's sister', If anything Tony should be known as "Astra Stark's brother'. "Yes." She answered, keeping her comments to herself.

"Name's Chase Jordans." He introduced himself.

"Guessing you know my name?" Astra assumed, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Wanna refresh my memory?" The male flirted with a cocky smile.

"Astra" The female answered him.

"Well, Astra. Now's the part where I say a catchy pick-up line." He warned before-hand. "I think I lost my number, can I have yours?" The young woman laughed as he held out his phone with a hopeful face.

Damn, that's cheesy. Astra thought to herself.

Astra smirked lightly before taking his phone. "Don't sell this to anyone." She threatened while typing in her phone number.

"Wouldn't dream of it." He responded with another cocky smile. The female shook her head slightly then giving his phone back.

"Where's Tony?" Pepper surprised Astra while making her way over the the table and sitting down.

"I- I thought he was with you." Astra furrowed her eyebrows, watching Peppers annoyed expression.

"This brother of yours." The ginger shook her head.

"So, we're just waiting?" The young female assumed.

"Yep." Pepper responded quickly.

It got a bit quiet between the two as Astra read the menu for something to eat. The room got very noisy and crowded around the television to watch the program.

"Natalie." Pepper called. "Natalie!"

Astra raised her head in confusion and faced the TV. There on the screen, Tony Stark, her brother, was climbing in a race car.

"Oh my God." The brunette said under her breath. You know how some people feel like they failed as a parent when their kids do something bad. Well, Astra felt like she failed as a sibling.

"Yes, Miss Potts?" Natasha approached the table.

"Do you know about this?" She referred to the screen.

"Uh this is the first that I know of it."

"This- This cannot happen." Pepper flustered.

"Absolutely, I understand. How can I help you." If keeping her cover weren't so important, Natasha would have already been outside and dragging Tony by the ear. But, she had to keep her cover, therefore she stayed calm, collective, but still human.

"Where's Happy?" Astra leaned closer to insert her question.

"He's waiting outside."

"Get him. I need Happy." Pepper demanded.

"Pep, I have a really bad feeling about this." Astra kept her eyes on the screen.

"Me too." Pepper breathed out. Her face was painted with worry while staring at the TV.
