An Iron Man FanFic:
(It's my first one so go easy on me!! Please review and Enjoy!)
Thirteen Years Ago:
London, England:
Dr. Samuel Tallis C.E.O. of European Labs in the heart of London was pacing his office. Today, he was expecting a group of men who were interested in investing in his company's weapon program. With the help of these men, they could change the way the world thought of weapons. They could build bigger and smarter weapons that could end wars in a spilt second!
But he also had another problem on his hands...a problem in the form of his five year old daughter Remy, who was playing with a doll on the floor of his office.
"You're going to have to be a good girl today, love." He smiled, looking down at her.
Remy didn't even look up at her father. She was too absorbed with her doll. "Okay, Daddy."
There was a knock on his office door. Dr. Tallis' assistant, Barbara peeked her head inside.
"Doctor, your expected visitors are waiting for you in the lobby." she stated.
The doctor sighed. "Well, better not keep them waiting. How do I look, Remy?"
This time, Remy looked up at her father. She smiled. "Fine."
He picked her up in his arms and placed her on the edge of his desk. He kissed the top of her head.
"Stay here with Barbara...I'll be back when I can." He told her.
Remy made a face and crossed her arms, but nodded.
Dr. Tallis smiled and then hurried off to meet the men. Remy jumped down from the desk and started to follow, but Barbara stopped her.
"Stay here. Your daddy will be back soon." Barbara told her before she closed the door on the five year old.
Remy pouted. She knew Barbara didn't like her. She didn't like the woman anyway. She wore too much makeup and talked to her father a lot, while laughing and touching her hair one too many times. Remy looked around. Her father always kept toys in his office for her, but today she didn't feel like playing with them. She wanted to be with her dad. She opened the door quietly. Barbara was sitting at her desk talking to a delivery man. She was too absorbed in him to notice the little Remy sneaking off to find her father.
Her father's office was on the second floor of the building. It was very open with a balcony overlooking the lobby. Remy stood on her tip toes and looked over the railing. She saw her father shaking hands with a group of men.
"Welcome, Gentlemen!" Her father boomed.
"Hello, Dr. Tallis. I'm Howard Stark, head of Stark Industries!" A man who looked about her father's age said. He turned to another man standing next to him. "And this is my son, Anthony."
"Tony." The boy corrected.
"How old are you?" Dr. Tallis asked.
"Twenty, sir." Tony replied.
"My son, a genius he is!" Howard Stark beamed. "Now, show us your praised weapon program!"
The group of men started down a hallway. Remy quickly bounded down the stairs after them. She was quite curious now. When she reached the bottem of the stairs she headed in the direction she thought her father had gone.
Remy found herself in a halllway that was filled with different doors. She had never been her before. She heard her father's muffled voice coming from somewhere, but where?
Suddenly, one of the doors at the end of the hallway opened. A man in a big white suit emerged, pushing a cart. Terrified, Remy quickly ran into the nearest room, the door slamming shut behind her.
"Remy? Oh, bloody hell! Where is that child?" she heard Barbara call out.
Remy looked around at the room. There was a giant, long metal table in the center of the room. Stools surrounded the table. Remy started to climb up one. She wanted to see what was on the table. When she reached the top, she sat and stared at all the different objects that were scattered across it.
But the main thing Remy was interested in was the glowing oval that was siting in a glass case before her. Remy had never seen anything quite like this before. She had never seen a glowing ball before. She was overcome by curiosity. She reached for it slowly...
Present Day:
Kabul, Afghanistan
"For you, Miss?" A man held out a pink silk covered in all kinds of different designs.
Eighteen year old Remy Tallis shook her head. "No thank you."
The market place was very crowded today. People were swarming all over the place. It was also quite hot. Remy fanned herself with her straw cowboy hat. She was wearing tan shorts with a 3/4 sleeve button down white shirt. On her feet she wore brown flip flops.
"Isn't it wonderful?" her father asked.
"Yes...it is." Remy forced a smile. She hated it her. It was too hot and too crowded. Usually she like coming on these trips with her father, but not this time.
"I know it's different than the usual places we visit, but I thought we'd try somewhere new...not that we had a choice. It's not up to me where the company decides to hold these..er..business meetings." He smiled. Stark Industries had bought her father's company to help mas-produce their weapons.
"This is definately different." Remy replied, glancing around.
"Sir!" A man called to her father in a broken English accent. He held out a basket filled with fruit. Dr. Tallis stepped towards the stall, observing the fruit. Someone knocked into Remy, making her drop her hat. It fell to the sandy ground.
"Bloody hell!" she mumbled to herself as she bent down to pick it up. But someone kicked her hat farther into the crowd. Remy hurried after it. She liked that hat and it was her only way of cooling herself off. She looked around. She couldn't see it. She sighed in frustration. There was no way she was going to find it in this crowd.
Suddenly, she spotted it in an alleyway. She hurried over and picked it up, placing it back on her head.
"You're not going to get away from me again!" she said.
Suddenly, she heard voices coming from farther down in the alleyway. Curious, she stepped closer. The men were speaking in broken English it sounded like. Remy ducked behind a barrel so she could listen.
"They're meeting here in the city." a man hissed. "This our chance!"
"Yes...when will all these important men ever be meeting like this again?" another man exclaimed.
"We must destroy Samuel Tallis and his company for good!"
Remy gasped. These men were after her father!
"Patients, men! You will have your revenge...like I promised...as long as you bring me Tony Stark." a man in perfect English spoke.
Remy backed up slowly. She had to get out of here! But as she backed up, she knocked into another barrel, knocking it over.
"What was that?" a man yelped.
Remy froze. She tried to stand up, but someone grabbed her by the wrist. She yelped.
"A girl!" the man who had grabbed her hissed. "Spying on us!"
"Take her with us!" one ordered. The man grabbed Remy by the waist. She tried to struggle, but he was too strong! She started to scream. The man covered her mouth with his hand. She kicked the man in the groin with as much force as she could. He yelped in pain and let go of her. Remy started to run. She had to get out of here.
She felt someone grab her again. She spun around to kick her attacker and then...everything went black...
