The Birth Of A New Stark

Chapter Twelve

Walking toward the lift tony tried his best not to get caught he does feel guilty for not telling Rhodey he was going since they decided not to let him go anywhere alone, but Rhodey have missed too much of his Rehabilitation sessions and tony couldn't help but feel guilty again if not for him Rhodey wouldn't have fallen and if not for him again Rhodey wouldn't miss his sessions so sneaking out was the only option.

If only he was that lucky (which he was not) standing inside the lift is the very person he was trying to elude with an Are You Serious expression on his face(Damn Friday must have warned Rhodey) shoulders sagging tony gave Rhodey his best smile, it won't work but he could still try“ hey i thought you were busy with therapy” Tony asked as he walked into the lift.

“yeah, i noticed or else you wouldn't have tried to sneak out” Rhodey added.

“Me, sneak out, no pfft, why would i want to sneak out of my own home” Tony scoffed trying his best to sound offended by his remark.

“Oh, so you weren't going anywhere just now” Rhodey crossed his arms with a clear smirk on his face.

Knowing he had been caught “okay okay i was, i need to go see Xavier again and try to figure everything out, like why only on certain situations i get static in my mind along with bits and pieces of information, or how on times i keep losing myself in my mind i forget everything around me and dwell and the farther i go the longer i stay”.

Patting tony on the back“ i understand we will figure it out but you're not going out alone, just give me a few minutes and ill go with you”.

“No, you lost to much time, go to your therapy sessions and ill go to Xavier's, i will be fine besides its only a few hours” tony reassured he was grateful that Rhodey would be there for him when he needed him but he also needed to look out for himself.

‘Tony’ was all Rhodey got out before Tony stopped him.

‘No, No, okay look i will have Friday give you all the details, report to you on how the visit and the drive went and ill even let happy drive again’ Tony said giving Rhodey the smile he knew could win anyone over, he needed to do this himself to prove that he could handle things on his own that he wasn't some helpless pregnant teen who got knocked up and depended on everyone for everything.

His emotions were running high and he has had a hairline temper trigger he was tired of being cooped up he needed out and with fury's surprise visit a week ago made it worse, he wanted to demand fury to tell him if he knew all along but given who he was talked to he already knew his answer and that didn't help at all so he kept cool, showed nothing slapped on his mask, a mask which usually gave him great comfort, NOW send chills down his back and sat a ball of disgust in his stomach, he hated the lies, necessary, but still he hated them.

Coming at a stop on the floor Rhodey had to get off, he hadn't said a word since Tony had told him the plan, Tony could see he was contemplating it so he stood waiting quietly (which was very difficult for him).

“Fine but i don't like this, Friday you better give me updates i want to know how the trip went and you” Rhodey turned pointing at tony “better not tell Friday to withhold information got it,” Rhodey said making sure with the tone of his voice how serious he was.

“Got it gumdrop”Tony called out as Rhodey got off the lift he was glad Rhodey had agreed also, to be honest, he was kind of surprised that he did Rhodey had always had his back but since the(Unnatural)Pregnancy his Overprotectiveness had reached a new level, which was fun to watch sometimes and can also be infuriating at times.

“Fri, contact happy and tell him to get the car ready, ”

The sun was shining the air was wonderful and even the road was quiet and yet Tony couldn't focus his mind keep wondering from place to place one problem after another there wasn't a problem he couldn't solve in turn made this completely maddening.

And given at any day Tony would have been able to concentrate on his work but he couldn't, image after image of his daughter flashed through his mind like a slideshow, a profound amount of joy filed him at the slow and steady beat of her heart that let him know she was healthy, he knew he needed to get his work done, he had Friday keep digging (discreetly) into Ross past collecting all the evidence that Ross thought he buried deep enough for no one to find but no matter how deep she went he made all the little thing that's wrong look innocent it was getting on his nerves.

Fast approaching cars pulled Tony from his work, glancing out the window tony spotted two black SUV barling down the road, giving that the road toward Xavier mansion isn't exactly a road traveled frequently unless your either a parent of one of the students but the lack of license plates told him other ways,(Guess he talked too soon) a shiver of dread slid down his back as he realized why they could be coming this way.

Instantly regretting the not allowing Rhodey to join him as one of the cars sideswiped him, Tony reached for the seatbelt, as the car rocketed from side to side as the SUV attempt toed to drag him off the road.

Fear settled in him at any moment something could go wrong the car could flip with the wrong push or they could successfully pull them over and then who knows what they'll do.

Reaching inside he searched for a way to calm down to not stress the baby even more as the steady race of her heartbeat filled his ears but the sound of the cars bashing against their's kept coming

(Bash)

(Thump thump)

(Bash)

(Thump thump)

As it got louder and more forceful, he couldn't stand it anymore for the fear and the adrenaline came to much to bare he felt himself start to lose consciousness when a massive force of energy erupted from the car causing the other two cars to flip and roll.

With the sound of banging and grinding metal gone tony concentrated on the beat of his babies heart while the world around him go dark.
