Alice in wonderland

2. Hello Sister

1991 flashback

-Where is mom and dad? - said a little Alice with the body of a 10 year old.
-They're gone kiddo - answered a 17 year old Tony
-Will they come back?
- No kid.
Tears filled the childs eyes, even though she was only in the Stark family for a few years, Maria and Howard where the only parents Alice knew.

The next couples of days I spended my time in bed, crying, thinking about Tony. The press called a thousand times, but I hated them, they only wanted to know family details, if I was going to take after the family business even though I was against weapons.
Happy and Pepper came by a couple times, but everytime they came I wasn't responsive.

Finally a month later, I decided to go to the lab, I wasn't going to continue with the family business but I was going to continue with the investigations about my powers. Most of the time I was on the lab, sleeping, eating, practically living there. I made advances like founding a way to control my force fields, making them any size I wanted. moving, controlling things with my mind, more things that I could ever think of.
I was so into the investigation I forgot about the rest of the world. My cellphone was ringing non stop but I was very busy to pay attention to it...

Meanwhile on the airport

A bruised Tony appears , an emotional pepper is waiting for him,
- Your eyes are red, a few tears for your long-lost boss?
- Tears of joy. I hate job hunting
- yeah , vacation is over....
And where is my dear sister, partying around celebrating being the only stark left?
- Tony she has been crying for a month, not getting outside for anything.. we haven't heard from her these past months . Recently we've tried to reach her many times but it goes directly to voicemail....
- well, she will have to go out for me... I've got esplendid news for her.

Back in the tony's.

Queen sounding in the background, me with the same sweatshirts I've been these past months, my messy ponytail up, with the headphones on, concentrated in the lab. I turn around to grab a thing, and then I freeze , I see Tony, after 3 months there he is... With a bruised face and an arm in a casket, more skinny than the last time I saw him..
- Tony? Wha? Wha? Is this real? Are you really here? - I say stammering.
- Hello Sister. - says my older brother with a smirk on his face - did you miss me?

- WHAT THE HELL TONY? YOU DISAPPEAR FOR 3 MONTHS, I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!! I SPEND A FUCKIN MONTH DEPRESSED , AND THE ONLY THING YOU SAY IS HELLO SISTER???
- Oh, yeah! I can see you all depressed here in MY lab, with the music out loud!
  - You're fucking kidding me right??? I spend a whole month in bed  okay? Ignoring the press, not wanting to see anyone, and when I finally have the courage of pulling myself together you..

I get interrupted with a slight hug from Tony.. he has never been the touchy one. I was always the one hugging.
- I've missed you too sis. Have you heard the great news?
- what?

Tony tells me all about his captivity, Yinsen, the electromagnet in his chest , the suit they build allowing him to scape, the decision he made about ceasing manufacturing weapons.

- I don't  want to sound like a bitch but I'm glad you  had  to be attacked by your own missile to stop yourself from creating deadly weapons, it's just ironic.  - I say proudly with a smirk.

- don't be so happy about it.. I still have a bomb in my chest.

I laughed, thinking how much I missed this idiotic brother of mine.
