Chapter 1

A/N: I'M BACKK! LOL And with a new story! BTW Arianna is Tony's 24 y/o cousin! And Happy Two Year Anniversary to me because May 3rd, 2011 was the day I posted my first story. Anyway This takes place after Iron Man 3 so if you didn't see it... I suggest you don't read.

Silence. No machines running, no electronic british butler, no Avengers, no armor, no SHIELD, no Pep... okay lets not talk about that. But it was too late. She was already running through his mind like a race. He sighed and stood up and walked away from the chair he was sitting in. He grabbed the handle of the fridge before pulling it open. He quickly grabbed the half of sandwich he bought and closed the fridge.

He sat back down in the chair and tried to eat the sandwich. He took two miniscule bites before setting down the sandwich. He sighed before standing up and going to the bathroom. He washed his face with cold water before looking into the mirror. He was skinny, looked gruffy. He hadn't shaved in months, had a slight hunch in his back.

He then turned his head and looked out the door. He lived in a Small house in a small rural town now. One bedroom, one bathroom, small kitchenette and den. No phone, no tv, nothing. The world had believed Tony Stark to be dead after he battled Aldrich Killian so he capitalized on that and "died."

The company went to Arianna and Bruce. Anything to keep the board from getting it. He looked at his life now and agreed with the voice in his head. It was true that this was best to just be dead for the rest of his life until he really died. He would have a nice funeral of people that knew him in the town as Edward Toledo. A tear threatened to fall from his eyes but he wiped it away before walking toward his bedroom. He grabbed the bottle of scotch from his drawer and stared at it before drinking it in one gulp. "This is for the best"

"And if you walk this way, you'll see the library of the white house" the tour guide spoke. The group followed her there.

"Steve, thank you for taking me to see the white house. I've never got to see it so this means a lot" Arianna whispered. Steve smiled. "You are welcome."

He was doing everything he could to keep Arianna's mind off of Tony. He disappeared in battle with Aldrich Killian and no one knows where his body went. The whole team had actually been trying. Bruce, Arianna's best friend turned boyfriend started this. The whole team was trying to keep it together for her. Tony let them live at Stark Tower, while he was in Malibu.

She had cried a lot in the beginning but now she was much better from where they were. She kept walking but accidentally knocked into one of the guys on the tour with her.

"Oops, I'm sorry" she said loudly but sincerely.

"Its okay" the dude said. He was caucasian, tall and looked familiar. He looked at her as his eyes flashed orange. She looked at him weirdly before walking away and back toward Steve.

"His eyes are weird" she said. She looked at him very suspiciously before turning to her earpiece. "Jarvis, are my contacts operational?" "Yes, They are ready for use Arianna." "Thanks" she whispered before taking a small box out of her bag and opened it.

She picked up the contacts and each one attached to her eyes. They scanned her eyes and soon she became a walking computer. She looked back at the guy and in seconds she got information on her. Her eyes told her that his name was Eric Savin.

"He used to work for Killian" she whispered slowly. "Scan for traces of Extremis virus" she whispered and her eyes began to trace them out. She saw that he was infected with it. Then she saw that the whole room was infected. "Uh oh" she whispered to Steve. "What's wrong"

"This whole room is infected with Extremis." "Well thats not good" Steve spoke. "Lets get out of here" she whispered. They both silently slipped away from the group and walked the other way before they were called out by the tour guide. "You have to stay for the whole tour you guys" she spoke with a little attitude in her voice.

"Well, we uhh, have to use the bathroom" Arianna thought quickly. The tour guide looked at her and slightly smiled deviously. "Okay." Arianna and Steve walked toward the bathroom but was stopped by one of the girls that was on the tour. "Yass girl, go handle your business, boo!"

She blushed, clearly embarassed by the comment. She walked away with Steve. Once they were sure, the tour guide couldn't see them, they ran through the hallway toward the exit. They turned the corner to the door to see Eric Savin standing there. "Going somewhere" he snapped. Steve walked up to him against Arianna's protests. "Son, please move before I..." "Before you what?" Savin interrupted. "Punch me in the face?" he laughed out.

Steve clearly was not happy with the comment and proceeded to punch him in the face. Eric's head whipped violently to the side before turning back toward Steve. He began to laugh really hard. As he was laughing his bruises and his skin regenerated back to its former health. Steve looked like he just saw a ghost. Eric reered back and punched Steve, launching him across the room. He slid on the ground and hit his head on the wall. Steve stood up and felt his nose.

"Bleeding, and broken" he spoke softly. Savin looked at Arianna with an evil smile before stalking toward her. She backed up before she hit a wall. He trapped her against the wall with two hands. But she had a different plan. She stuck an arrow in him that exploded before kicking him over and running. She pressed the button on her bow which exploded the Arrow head. She smiled before turning and seeing everyone who was on the tour glowing orange. Steve stood up and went back to back with Arianna. "You ready" she said. "You bet." And before your eyes they went from Steve Rogers and Arianna Stark to Captain America and Agent 24.

They began punching, kicking and throwing Arianna's ever present throwing knives. But they did nothing to stop the powerful soldiers. "Steve, go" she said "Get 'em" she screamed. "But you'll be here with them" he protested loudly. "I'll get out just go get her" she screamed back. He then turned to the window and charged out of the window of the famous home of the president. He hit the ground with a thud and probably broke a few bones but he didn't care. He had to get to Natasha.

But in the house, Arianna was already subdued by the Extremis soldiers and brought to the Oval office. Where she went face to face with none other than Aldrich Killian
