//HACKER THINGS\\

Safe to say Uncle Rhodey now knew of Tony's suit. After being shot at multiple times by two aircrafts, Tony called Rhodey and admitted the truth. However, it was unknown if he knew of the twins involvement, though he most likely did.

Lydia and Lucas sat in their chairs watching the tv as their Uncle Rhodey talked about a so-called training exercise with an aircraft. Which they all knew was complete bs.

Tony let out a noise of protest as his machines attempted to take off his suit.

"You know, a little bit of help would be nice." He says when the twins laugh.

Before either kid gets a chance to help they hear the crunch of glass from behind them. They instinctively hide under the desk.

"It's just me, kids." Peppers voice fills the room.

Lydia lets a breath as Lucas helps her up from under the desk. The twins notice that Peppers voice caught Tonys attention as well.

"Let's face it, this is not the worse thing you've caught me doing." Tony remarks.

Pepper remains silent, staring back at the twins before looking to Tony, her mouth dropping slightly. "Are those bullet holes?"

Nobody dares to answer, scared of what the woman might do if she knew the truth.

Lucas clears his throat, "Um, no?"

***********

Lydia sat on the couch reading a book. She wasn't sure what Lucas was doing, he had gone upstairs a while ago and left her to read her book 'Nineteen Minutes'.

She was currently invested in the book, she loved the characters and the plot and the style of the writer. Books were always one of the simples things in her life and she admired those simple things.

However, it seemed she could never admire those things for long, as she was soon dragged into another one of Tony's missions.

This time it was a hacking mission; helping Pepper hack into Tony's office, to be specific. The office that was now run by Obadiah.

And that is the story on how Lydia ended up in Tony's garage once more, awaiting a call from her mom.

Her phone rang from beside her and she glanced at the caller ID quickly before sliding the button to answer it. She put Pepper on speaker so Tony could hear as well.

"Okay, I'm at the computer." Peppers voice came through.

Lydia began typing away at the computer. "Once you plug in that USB I'll have partial access to the computer, I'll be able to help you from here."

Lydia waited a moment and then heard Pepper sigh. "Where exactly did you learn to hack like this?"

The young girl bit her lip, "Uh, school, internet, kinda everywhere."

There was no response on the other end.

"If it makes you feel better-" Lydia was cut off by Pepper saying "Alright the drive is in."

On cue, Lydia's screen lit up with a login screen. She looked around and realized Tony had stepped out, before turning back to the screen.

"Alright I can get you past this, then you gotta find the files for me."

The young hacker put in her code variations and began to run them as quickly as she could, knowing her moms time in the office was most likely short.
