Your P.O.V.

When Tony pulled away and wiped the tears from my face I felt like he had always been there. I hadn't realized he could be so caring and sweet. "Umm... I have something I want to show you if you'd like?" Tony rubbed the back of his neck and smiled questioningly. "Sure!" I replied trying to ease his apparent nerves. I had no idea what he was talking about but I followed him to his lab. As soon as we entered he turned around and addressed me. "I know I was awful the other day and I wanted to do something to make it up to you...please don't be mad but after you left I saw what you had been drawing. I took the liberty of taking a closer look at the suit you had drawn and everything you wrote down was brilliant." He took a deep breath before continuing. "I made the suit. I used the blueprints you sketched and I haven't quite finished but I figured maybe you would want to help me put the finishing touches on it?" I could barely contain my excitement at hearing that I was not only going to be able to help make an iron man suit, but I was going to get my own. "Of course I want to help!! Can I see what you have so far?!" He nodded, smiling at my enthusiasm, and led me around to where it was standing in a glass case similar to the ones that held his suits. I gasped and turned to throw my arms around him in a bear hug. "It's amazing!! Thank you so much!!" He laughed when I let go of him and we immediately got to work finishing up. There were a few parts that still had to be installed before a test drive and it had to be painted but that was it. We worked for a few hours before my stomach reminded me that I hadn't actually eaten anything when I went to the kitchen. "Tony? I do you have any food down here? I haven't had anything to eat in hours." He chuckled and led me over to a cabinet over his mini fridge. He grabbed two packages of poptarts and handed one to me before opening the other one for himself. We sat down and ate in a comfortable silence. When we were done we got back to work and the suit was done in no time. "Alright. What color do you want?" Tony showed me the variety of paint colors I had to choose from. "I like this midnight navy blue color. And silver accents." He nodded his agreement before showing me the best ways to paint the curves of the suit that were designed to fit a teenage girl. The whole time we were working my mind kept drifting. At some point I was going to have to go back to school, but I didn't want to bring that up just yet. I sighed and kept working. 

~~Time skip because its late and i don't know what to write;)~~

When we finished the suit I couldn't wait to do a test drive. Unfortunately the paint had to dry and we had to finish it so the paint would chip, which would take a long time. Tony told me he would finish up the boring stuff if I wanted to go have fun. I gave him a quick hug before heading out of his lab. Not knowing what to do I started wandering around the tower, looking for someone to entertain me. I eventually ended up in the garage. I stared in awe at the sports cars and motorcycles that filled the space. One in particular caught my eye. I wandered over to get a closer look at the beautiful Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout. As I was admiring the powerful bike I heard someone walk up behind me. I turned around to see Steve smirking at me. "Like what you see?" He asked. I nodded vigorously. "I've always wanted a motorcycle but I can't drive yet." He smiled knowingly. "It's a really nice night. Want me to take you for a ride?" I smiled and said, "Is it safe for two people to ride this one?" I already knew the answer but I wanted to see how Steve would react. He raised an eyebrow at me. "It's not illegal if you don't get caught." I laughed. "In that case, saddle up!" He grinned at me and we hopped on the bike. Steve revved the engine and we took off. I closed my eyes and relished the feeling of the wind blowing my hair behind my head as the city flashed by. We rode for a long time, getting out of the city and cruising along the edge of a beautiful lake that reflected the light of the full moon like a mirror. When we finally arrived back at the tower my hair was a mess. We got off the bike and Steve laughed when he saw me. "You look like you've had a really rough day," he said when his laugh subsided into a chuckle. I rolled my eyes and walked away, knowing he would follow. We walked to the sitting area and sat down on the couch. As soon as we sat down Pepper and Tony came in the room. "Where have you been young lady?" asked Pepper. "It's 3 in the morning. You should have been in bed hours ago." I looked at Steve and he cut in. "I took her out for a ride on my motorcycle to clear her head. She's been through a lot lately." Pepper acknowledged that I had indeed been through a lot. "Whatever. There's something we need to talk to you about anyway." She looked at Tony, who hadn't said anything yet. He cleared his throat and addressed me. "Y/n, I'm sure you know you will have to go back to school eventually. We decided to have you continue at Midtown high, rather than have you switch schools. It's not far either so it should work fine. More importantly though, I know someone there who can keep an eye on you and make sure you're safe." I tilted my head and waited for him to elaborate. When he didn't, I gave up and decided I'd ask him about it later. He said he wanted me to go back as soon as possible, which would be Monday. Since today was Saturday, that meant I didn't have much free time left. I groaned in protest but realized that at least I'd get to see Peter. Pepper sent me right up to bed and I crashed as soon as I had brushed my teeth and changed into pajamas. It had been a good day, but a long one and I was glad to let go of consciousness as tendrils of sleep came to claim me.

Hey guys, sorry its been a long time but I've been really busy studying for semester exams and haven't had much time off. I will hopefully update again in the next two weeks since it's almost Christmas break!!! I'm so excited!!
