A Daughter of Iron

Angel awoke early the next morning, way more early then she should have, but she couldn't help it. Her excitement had woke her up. It was around eight in the morning when Angel went down stairs. She fell right back into her routine. She went to the gym, (listened to her music and sang along for a change) worked out, grabbed something to eat in the kitchen before going back up stairs to her own room to get ready.

Travis was here now, watching with a smile as Angel searced for something to wear on her key pad. Music was playing on her stereo in her room. She was happy again and Travis loved seeing that. She had seemed almost dead before.

Pepper was down stairs, making the arrangement's for the car ride there, finding out when Tony and Rhodey were arriving and basically keeping everything in line like she always does.

Angel's hair was pulled up in a pony tail as she piratically danced around her room.

"God, I've missed seeing you like this," Travis said as he watched her dance out of the closet with her clothes.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm always like this," she said, beaming as she grabbed Travis by the hands and pulled him up to his feet.

"Dance with me, Travis," she said already dancing like crazy herself.

Travis laughed.

"You know very well I don't dance," he said and she gave a fake pout.

"Come on, for me? Just today?" she pleaded and he gave a heavy sigh before smiling.

"Yow owe me big, Miss Stark," he began but Angel cut him off with a happy squeal.

oOo

Angel was like lightening getting ready this morning. She got ready much faster then she usually did because she was eager to get to the air base. She got out of the shower and dried her hair with a blow drier. Then she curled it with the help of Travis who could only do it because he said he had a little sister who forced him to learn. She put on her make up in a flash, it looked a lot more natural because she was in a hurry but also because she knew Tony liked it when she didn't wear as much makeup.

"I don't see why you wear the stuff anyway, you don't need it," he had said many time.

Today, Angel had choice a very cute looking outfit. A black dress with a white floral print, some black tights, some black high heals, and a black leather jacket. The floral on the dress thankfully stood out and made her look amazing. Of course she didn't think that at all.

"Do I look okay? I don't look like I'm going to a funeral do I?" she asked in a panic as she rushed down stairs.

Despite how much she had hurried they were running a little behind.

Travis gave a groan, "You look perfect! Now come on," he begged.

Pepper and him were standing by the open front door.

"Let's hit the road, Missy," Travis said clapping twice trying to her to move.

Angel, still worried she didn't look okay came down the stairs, messing with her hair.

"You look as cute as button, Angel. Calm down," Pepper promised, patting her on the back as they walked out the door.

oOo

The car ride felt like it was three hours long even though it was just an hour. Angel wanted to see her dad so badly. It was wrong how horrible it felt knowing he was coming and it was taking forever and a day to happen. Her leg was bouncing up and down like rabbit as they sat in the car. Travis grabbed her hand and held it tight.
