AN~Heres chapter 1. Enjoy.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning as I did just about every morning to Jarvis, Tony's virtual assistant, telling me about the day.

"Good morning Miss. Hardwin. It's May 27th, 4:30 a.m. The weather in Malibu is 50 degrees with scattered clouds. The surf conditions are fair with waist-to-shoulder high lines. The high tide will be at 10:52 a.m. Mr. Stark is downstairs in his workshop. And has had a guest last night. Her clothes are downstairs in the living room. And Mr. Hardwin has asked me to inform you that he currently is on his morning run and will be back around 6:30."

I smiled softly at his familiar voice before sighing at the 'had a guest' part. Tony almost always had a woman over.

"Good morning Jarvis. Can you start my morning playlist?" I asked.

"Yes, Miss. Hardwin," Jarvis said as Simple by Florida Georgia Line began playing.

It was well known that I loved country music.

"Thank you, Jarvis." I smiled.

I got up and did my morning routine before I got dressed in my normal business clothes and did my hair then went downstairs and got a cup of my tea and made Tony, Ben, and myself a small breakfast of eggs and toast. I set their plates in the oven to stay warm and ate mine.

Then I heard the 'guest' up and calling for Tony.

"Tony? Hey, Tony?" She called out.

I walk around the corner with her clothes and watched with a small, fake, smile as she touched one of Jarvis's control panels. She was tall with long brown hair and tan skin and was too curious for her own good.

"You are not authorized to access this area," Jarvis said scaring the crap out of her.

"Jesus." She breathed out with her hand over her heart.

"That's Jarvis. He runs the house." I said startling her more as she turns to look at me. "I've got your clothes here. They've been dry-cleaned and pressed, and there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go." I told her the same speech I said nearly every day.

"You must be the famous Amina Hardwin." She said walking up to me.

"Indeed I am," I said with a small smile.

"After almost all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry-cleaning." She said taking her clothes and throwing them over her shoulder with a smug look.

"I do anything and everything that Mr. Stark requires, including, occasionally, taking out the trash. Will that be all?" I said with the same mocking smile continuing to say the same speech. It's like all these girls were the same person.

"No, thank you." She said before walking away.

I sighed and rolled my eyes once she was gone from sight. I went to my office and picked up some things for Tony to see and or sign then to the kitchen and grabbed his food as my phone began to ring. I picked it up only to see it wasn't my phone.

I placed my phone down and brought my hand up to my neck where a special necklace sat. It was an Autobot insignia I always wore that was also a transmitter. It was ringing.

"Jarvis. Mute all cameras in my office, lock all the doors and repeat nothing that goes on here to anyone else including Tony." I ordered as I walked to my office.

"Yes, Miss. Hardwin. It is done."

I sat down and let the message play.

'Hey, Vira, Bee, its Jazz. I'm on Earth and I need your help. I'm in some town called Tranquility, Nevada. Drop everything and get here as fast as you can. This is more important than whatever you're doing. Please hurry.'

I sat there in silence.

"If you don't mind my asking who is that Miss. Hardwin?" Jarvis asked.

"It's a friend of Ben and I's. I have to go to him. Jarvis is Tony still in the workshop?" I asked as I got up.

"Yes, he is." He replied.

"Thank you " I called.

I was about to run down the steps when the front door opened and closed and Ben came around the corner with a panicked and shocked face.

"Did you hear it?" He asked.

"I did. I'm about to head down and talk to Tony." I told him.

"I'll go with." He said.

"No, you go take a shower and pack. I've got Tony." I told him.

He nodded then we went our separate ways. I ran into the shop. Tony looked up in surprise and asked.

"Whoa slow down there. What's got your panties in a twist?" He asked.

"Ben and I need a few weeks off," I told him.

He sat there with a shocked expression "Uh come again?"

"Ben and I need a few weeks off. Our mom just called and said it's a family emergency. Pease Tony, We have to go." I begged.

"I don't know Ami I kinda need you here." He said.

"I have a replacement until I come back. She's qualified. Please, this is so important that we go. Tony we never ask for anything. Tony, I'm begging you."

He sighed and said "Alright go. Two weeks Ami that's all I'm giving you. Unless someone is dying you both come back after that." He told me.

"Thank you, Tony," I said before racing back to my room and packing.

Once I had everything packed I called my replacement Pepper and told her she needed to come in. Then called and explained everything to mom. Then I got dressed in normal clothes, met up with Ben and raced out the door and into our 'cars'. Just as I started my car Tony came racing out. I rolled down the passenger window.

"Not even gonna say bye?" He asked.

"I'm sorry Tony we have to get there as soon as possible. Even if we have to break a few laws while at it." I mumbled.

Tony started laughing and handed me a bag.

"What's this?" I asked.

"It's a little bit of cash in case you need it." He said'

"Tony no. We're good I don't..."

"Not listening now go. And don't worry about the police and tickets. Get to your family." He said.

"Thank you, Tony," I said before racing out of the driveway with Ben on my tail and on to Tranquillity, Nevada.

I turned on my transmitter and said 'Jazz, We're on our way. We should be there in less than a day. Send me your coordinates and we'll meet you there. As much as we've missed you this better be super fucking important for us to have literally just dropped everything.'

I sent it to him and we continued to race to his location.
