Ironman and Nitrous

Chapter 3

Mandy walked out of the little building in her street clothes holding two boxes and a small purse.

"So stranger. You hungry?"

I smiled then nodded my head. She handed me one of the boxes as we started walking.

"So, what are we going to call you?"

"You think of something."

"Ok," she took a minute to think of something then said, "how about Miranda or Miria?"

"Sticking with the M's?"

She laughed.

"I like Miria," I smiled, "thanks for showing me around Mandy."

"Well what are friends for."

I stopped in my tracks, "friends?"

"Oh," she turned to look at me, "unless you don't like it."

"I do," I smiled, "Thank you for all this."

"Don't mention it," we turned onto the street that led to the expo. The streets were filled with vendors of all sorts. Mandy led the way into the expo and to one of the store inside.

"So which one do you like?"

"I'm sorry?"

"The avengers. Earths mightiest heroes? Come on, you don't remember the battle of Manhattan either?"

"Nope. Sorry," I walked over to the giant poster on the wall, "but I do like him," I pointed to the hero in armor.

"Ok. Well there's a section in the middle with them. We can find you a jacket or something."

"Thank you."

We left the store with a bag of items. Mandy was a big fan of Captain America and got the jacket and she got me the ironman jacket.

"Let's head to the stage area and try and get good seats."

"After you," I smiled.

---

We sat down close to the front of the area. Mandy and I quickly ate then put on our jackets to join in on the fun. We were talking and laughing when she pointed up into the sky and said, "There he is."

The whole placed cheered when the armor came off and Tony Stark came out.

Mandy and I sat in our seat when the show was over and waited for the crowd to clear out.

"Miria want to go look around at the other exibits?" She stood up.

"You go ahead. I'll catch up."

"Miria is something wrong?" She sat back down.

"I don't know. I just have this funny feeling that were being watched."

"Ok. Well then let's go and get out of here."

"I, I um," I stopped when I saw Mr. Stark come out. Mandy saw who I was looking at and stayed quiet.

When the lights equaled out Mr. Stark said, "oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize anyone was still out here."

Mandy stood up again, "we were just leaving. Sorry to bother you Mr. Stark."

I stood up with Mandy and started to follow her. When we reached the isle Mr stark said, "well are you two hungry. I was headed to get a bite to eat."

Mandy looked at me, "want to?"

"Sure."

Mandy turned back to Mr. Stark, "we'd love to," she took my hand and we started walking to the stage as Mr. Stark got back in his armor.

When we reached the stage and into better lighting I could see Mr. Starks body language change.

"Have we met before Ms.?" he placed his hand out.

"No and my name is Miria. This is my friend Mandy."

Mr. Stark shook Mandy's and my hand then said, "you can call me Tony. Now if you two wait here. I'll have my driver come by and pick you guys up."

"Alright."

"Good," he smiled then said, "See you in a bit," before taking off.
