Second chance (Tony Stark fan fic)

13. Texas

"I am ironman"

Everywhere I go, all I hear & all I see is Tony Stark aka ironman. Tony Stark is a world wide phenomenon & now he being ironman he's everywhere, it's like the world is only interested in one thing & one thing alone Anthony Edward Stark.

"Please, don't turn on the radio again" I muttered as James huffed "okay", I really didn't want to hear another Tony Stark or ironman news anymore our whole trip we were seeing him pop up on news channels on the Tvs/adds/billboards & the radios nothing was spared even my notifications were all about him. James was loving it but me on the other hand I wasn't, I sipped my cold coffee as I gazed at the blue skies it was beautiful & we were getting closer "the GPS is showing 15 minutes" James announced as I nodded "we are almost there".

"Princess" dad yelled as we pulled up.

"Dad" I yelped as I ran towards him & he gave me a bear hug, Hercules barked & followed wagging his tail behind "Hercules" dad petted him. They have seen & heard each other from our skype calls back home "hello, Mr Ross" James smiled as he & dad embraced each other "you have become skinner" dad gazed at him.

"He has not eaten ever since we left" I announced as I walked inside.

"Cause I decided to eat healthy, unlike you hogging on junks" James followed me in.

"Casper" I beamed as my dad ten year old St. Bernard dog greeted me "he did a minor surgery, so he's indoor these days" dad said as Casper was wearing an Elizabethan collar.

"That's sad" I petted the dog, Hercules kept staring at Casper from a safe distance as dad called Hercules & introduced Casper. I walked towards the kitchen & grabbed a can of soda as James was already on the couch with his eyes fixed on the TV & I knew exactly what he was watching & I wasn't even bothered to look or talk to him about it.

"Princess" dad called as he walked upto me.

"Yeah, dad" I mumbled as I sipped my can of soda "how long are you planning to stay?" He asked.

"Probably three days, you know I have to get back to LA...I don't want mom to be alone, you know why..." I explained.

"Yeah, it's tragic & sad how Obadiah passed away in a plane crash" dad sighed, if only dad knew Obi didn't crash but was killed by Tony & Pepper, where his daughter & her best friend were the prime witness.

"Yeah...." I drawled.

"I was happy for her, you know...she finding someone like him, you know your mom always liked men like Obi" dad said slowly.

"Ummm hmmm" I murmured, I really didn't want to discuss about Obadiah.

"How are you holding up?" He looked at me.

"Good" I smiled a bit "and you?"

"Great" he huffed "it's just that sometimes, I miss being around you guys".

"Then why don't you move back to LA" I gazed at him "no, can't do" he rubbed his jaws "I like it here, this is where I belong...this is home".

"But you're so far away from family & friends" I said slowly "I know...but we can't have it all in life" he murmured.
