Kunar Province, Afghanistan 2010

3rd Person POV

Tony and Bailey were getting driven down a road from some of the army people down here in Afghanistan since they had just finished a presentation for Stark industries.

Now Bailey was not the biggest fan of the company and what they do but it was still her name and she knew that she would have to represent and plus Tony begged her to come.

Het thoughts keep going back to Ava her niece and Tony's daughter as they drove down the road and although she really did miss Ava since Ava was back at the house with Pepper so Bailey knew that Ava wad a safe as she could possibly be right now.

They were listening to Back in black by AC/DC while Tony had a scotch in his hands as him and Bailey say next to each other in the car with the army crew sitting across and next to them.

The army guy sitting in the passenger seat and next to them kept looking at Tony and ignoring Bailey like she didn't exists but what was new.

Don't get Bailey wrong Tony and Bailey loved each other but what Tony didn't  realise is that Bailey would always get cast to the side quite often and it's because she was a girl.

Especially working in the kind of industry Tony and Bailey did everyone look's towards Tony like he is the genius and Bailey was just the gum under the table that nobody wanted.

That's why she loved Tony, Ava, Pepper and Happy because they all treated her as an equal nothing more or nothing less which is what Bailey always wanted.

"I feel like you're driving us to a court-martial this is crazy, what did we do? I feel like you're going to pull over and snuff us" Tony starts talking and b
Bailey sighed shaking her head at her brothers antics.

Sometimes Bailey fely like Tony was just a child "What, you're not allowed to talk? Hey Forrest" Tony says trying to get the younger soldiers attention which caused Bailey to slap him on the chest "Tony" Bailey scolded.

"It's fine ma'am, we can talk, sir" the young soldier says and Bailey scoffed at the ma'am part, Bailey was twenty four for crying out loud she was not that old.

"Oh, I see, so it's personal" Tony's questions further making Bailey roll her eyes, truthfully Bailey just wanted to go home and be done with this whole mess of a trip.

"No you intimidate them" the soldier driving says now revealing herself as a woman and Bailey smiled at the fact that there is a woman fighting for her country.

"Good God, you're a woman, I honestly I couldn't have called that" Tony says and Bailey groaned in embarrassment "Tony stop it" Bailey said trying to stop her brother from being a fool.

"What I mean i'd apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here?, I thought of you as a soldier first" Tony says and Bailey couldn't fault him on that I guess.

"I'm an airman" the soldier reveals "thank you for doing what you do" Bailey said smiling at the driver causing the the driver to smile back at Bailey.

"You have, actually excellent bone structure there, I'm kind of having a hard time not looking at you now is that weird?" Tony says causing all the soldiers to laugh while Bailey rolled her eyes at her brother's shameless flirting.

"Come on, it's ok, laugh" Tony says encouraging them "sir, I have a question to ask" the soldier in the passenger seat begins looking at Tony waiting for a sign to continue.

"Yes please" Tony says "is it true you went 12 for 12 with last year's Maxim cover models?" the soldier says causing Bailey to roll her eyes again at the stupid question knowing how much Tony will love it.
