Santana (B.B)

Tony Stark

Hayley's pov. 

I stormed through Nick Furry's office with a file in my hand "  Are you kidding me?"

Nick looked up at me with a raised eyebrow "sure, come in" 

I walked over to his desk and slammed down the file on it "what in the actual hell, Nick?"

Nick looked at it and then at me, sighing" Hayl- "

I growled "Why the hell did i just catch Coulson with a file that has my brother's name on it?"

Nick leaned back in his seat "you know the kind of project your brother is working on. Those projects-"

I shook my head "Those projects will not fall in the hands of SHIELD, Nick"

He nodded "it's his decision. He made the call "

Me "SHIELD will get him killed"

Nick "As his older sister, Hayley, i think you'll do a good job protecting him"

I growled pissed off.

Nick "choice is yours"

Next day. Malibu, California.

I pulled over in front of Tony's house and walked to the door. I rang the bell and Jarvis answered.

Jarvis "Miss Stark, your brother -"

Me "is not here, i know, let me in, please"

Jarvis "i'm afraid to tel--"

Me "Jarvis, i helped programming you and i will not hesitate deleting your program, okay? now, please, open the door"

Jarvis "Yes, Miss Stark"

Then the door opened and i walked inside. I looked around and rolled my eyes. Typical Tony. I walked downstairs into his lab and looked around. Robots were everywhere. Then my eyes landed on a picture of him and me that was hanging off the wall. Seems like Tony was enjoying every moment of his iron man fame but he shouldn't do that.

I don't think Tony would be happy to see me, i mean, i didn't visit him since the arc reactor was installed in his chest nor when he started building the suits. He and i have a typical brother sister relationship but we are family in the end. The biggest mistake he did was outing himself as Iron man. I mean, of course, i was known as his little sister, as Santana but in reality i am older than him.

I sat down on the table and then i heard footsteps coming in.

I could hear Tony ask Jarvis "Are there any news i should know about?"

Jarvis "Mr. Stark, i'm afraid to tell you -"

Suddenly i saw him standing in the doorframe. 

Tony looked at me before sighing   "that my sister is here, thanks for the information"

Jarvis "of course, sir"

I smiled "Hey, brother"

Tony walked to this desk "what are you doing here?"

I shrugged "i just wanted to check on you, i heard about Iron Man"

Tony fake smiled "i'm fine."

He walked over to the kitchen counter and grabbed the green smoothie " How many ounces a day of this gobbledegook am I supposed to drink?"

Jarvis " We are up to 80 ounces a day to counteract the symptoms, sir."

I looked at Tony  worried.

Tony downed it and put the cup on the table. 

I grabbed the cup and sniffed on it before grimacing "that's disgusting"

Tony" Check palladium levels."

He put his thumb on the device.

Jarvis " Blood toxicity, 24%. It appears that the continued use of the Iron Man suit is accelerating your condition. Another core has been depleted."

I raised an eyebrow.

Tony took the Arc reactor out of his chest and the core was rusted "God, they're running out quick."

Jarvis "I have run simulations on every known element, and none can serve as a viable replacement for the palladium core."

Tony put a new core in.

Jarvis "You are running out of both time and options. Unfortunately, the device that's keeping you alive is also killing you."

I faked a smiled "That's lovely to hear, isn't it?"

Tony shot me a look. 

I asked confused "Why didn't you tell me?"

Tony shrugged "didn't think you would care"

I shook my head "no, don't do that, please. Tony, you're my little brother-"

Tony snapped kinda hurt  "and yet this is the first time i've seen you in 6 years, Hayley "

I sighed "i was busy"

Tony "doing what? hiding from Hydra?"

I sighed "We've already talked about this -"

Tony shook his head  "no, we haven't. Because every time i even mention Hydra or your past you shut me down immediately"

I shook my head "Because it has nothing to do with you"

Tony "i am your brother, Hayles"

Me "And yet i am the one who went through hell, Tony. And let's not forget that it was dad who injected me the serum in the first place"

Tony looked at me irritated "Dad saved your life. You were poisoned by that snake, what was he supposed to do? huh? let you die? !"

Me "Dad was a monster, Tony!"

He shook his head "don't say that"

Me "He never cared about any of us"

Tony looked down "That's a lie"

Me "did he even talk about me at home? was my name ever mentioned?"

Tony looked at me " barely "

Me "and when he did?"

Tony "he spoke of you as if you were dead. A dead person."

I nodded "i am neither surprised or hurt"

Tony sighed "i am so sorry-"

I shook my head "do not apologize for him, okay? don't waste your breath on that"

Tony didn't say anything but then changed subject "Are you coming to the expo?"

I shrugged  "Maybe. i don't know"

Then i saw a painting of Iron man lying there and picked it up "Wow. Look at that. That's modern art. That's going up."

Suddenly Pepper Potts walked in, angrily "Is this a joke? What are you thinking?"

Pepper turned to me surprised "I am sorry, i didn't- i didn't know you had a visitor-"

Tony nodded "yep, that's um - my sister"

I smiled "Hayley Stark, a pleasure "

Pepper "Pepper Potts, likewise"

Me "i guess, i'll just, you know, leave"

Tony looked at me "you gonna sick around?"

I grimaced "wouldn't count on that"

He nodded. 

I hugged him. 

Tony hugged me back "be careful out there"

I nodded "always"
