Hey everyone.

this is part on of my rewind. This story and maybe(I'll try) the next possible three stories will be part of my rewind to before Bella found out that she was a princess of one of the Nine Realms.

And this is before she was sent to Forks.

Today started like any other day with my dad.

Jarvis woke me up to start my day and informed my of my dads more important appointments to help me figure out what time he would be home for dinner and such.

But what I did not expect was I would not see my dad for a while.

"Good morning Miss Stark." Jarvis woke Bella.

She rolled over, yawning, she replied to the AI, "Good morning Jarvis. What is on today's schedule?"

"Today your father is scheduled to go to Afghanistan to present the soldiers with the Jericho missile." he replied.

"With Rhodey?" She asked, walking to the kitchen.

"Yes ma'am."

"Thank you Jarvis." She thanked him and started the coffee for her dad while pouring herself a bowl of cereal.

"Good morning Miss Stark." Pepper said, helping herself to a cup of coffee.

"Virgina." Bella answered. She didn't like 'Pepper.' And the feeling was mutual. When for as long as Bella could remember, Pepper Potts did not approve of Tony adopting her. Maybe it was the fact that the assistant loved her father but her father's attention was either on the company or his beloved daughter. No one knew the answer to why Ms Potts did not like Isabella Stark.

"Jarvis has your lesson plans for the day and the money for what ever you are needing today is already in your account. Your lunch materials are in the fridge-" Pepper started to run down her never-ending list for Bella.

"Virgina, I am seventeen. I am not a child anymore. And my schedule is the same everyday. You don't need to pretend to like me, you don't need to tell me things I already know." Bella interrupted, jumping onto the kitchen counter.

"Miss Stark, must we do this everyday?" Pepper asked.

"No. You don't like me. I know it. You know it. So you really don't need to tell me the same things daily. I get what I need to know from Jarvis each morning." Bella answered, putting her hair in a messy bun.

"Miss Stark, your father brought home another reporter last night, so I suggest that you make yourself scarce before she wakes up and starts to wander the house."

"Very well. If you need me, and I pray you won't, I'll be in my room. And because, not even you, has access to my area of the house, just have Jarvis call me." Bella replied, jumping off the counter and walking back to her room.

the Garage

Tony was working on the engine of one of his many cars when Pepper interrupted.

"Please don't turn down my music."

"You're supposed to be half was across the world right now."

"How'd she take it?" Tony asked.

Pepper rolled her eyes before answering. "Like a champ."

"Did she run into my daughter?" Tony asked, examining one of the parts.

"No. Miss Stark was back in her room before the reporter was even awake." Pepper answered, examining her check board.

"Why is it you are trying to get me out of here?" Tony questioned.

"You are supposed to be on your way to Afghanistan right now. Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago." Pepper vented.

"Well that funny. That is what it being my plane was all about. That it what for me to get there. And I wanted to wait till my daughter was awake."

After they bickered for a few minutes Tony asked why Pepper was trying to all but shove him out the front door.

"I have plans. I have plans okay." Pepper snapped slightly.

"I don't like it when you have plans."

"Tony, I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday."

"Oh. That's today? Well, did you get yourself nice from me?" Pepper nodded. "Great. Oh-wait- who's going to take care of Isa till I get back?"

"Daddy, I've been taking care of myself for two years now. Unless you count Jarvis." Bella spoke up, entering the garage, wearing on her dad's many band t shirts. "Daddy, you should be going to meet with Rhodey right now. The sooner you leave the sooner you get back. And we have plans tonight. O did you forget?"

Tony pulled his daughter in for a hug, "How can I forget something that we have been doing together since you first got here? I've been reading to you since you were about three years old baby girl."

"I know daddy. Be home for dinner?" She asked, hugging him tight.

"I'll be there." Tony answered, pulling away.

"Any requests?" She asked.

"Not really. Surprise me." He said as he got into one of the cars he had.

"You just come home safe dad." Bella asked her dad.

"Always." He replied, before driving of to the airport.

"You can leave now if you want Virgina. You can't try run my fathers company from here." Bella said before heading back to her room.

Pepper rolled her eyes, "as you wish Miss Stark. It's been a pleasure as always. I shall see you tomorrow."

the Next Day

Bella was worried. Her dad didn't come home last night. He didn't call either. If he was going to be late he always called her so she wouldn't wait up. But she was up till three in the morning before she passed out on the couch and when she woke up, her dad still wasn't home.

"Good morning princess." Jarvis greeted her quietly.

"Good morning Jarvis. Is there any word on my father yet?" Bella asked.

"My apologies princess, but there is still no word on Mr Stark." Jarvis answered.

Bella pulled out her phone and dialed her dads number, getting more worried by the minute when the call went straight to voice mail. After trying a few more times, she decided to call Virginia.

"Hello."

"Virginia?"

"Miss Stark? To what pleasure do I owe to your call."

"My dad. Have you heard from him? He didn't come home last night and his phone is going straight to voice mail."

"I'm sure his just passed out drunk with some girl..."

"He went to Afghanistan yesterday."

"I'm sure he's okay."

"I hope so..." Bella hung up, but still not reassured. She then decided to call Rhodey.

"Hello?"

"Rhody?"

"Yeah. Who is this?"

"This is Bella... Tony's daughter..."

"I'm sorry Bella, but it's not a good time right now."

"look, you don't have to tell me any details but is my dad okay?"

"I'm sorry but-"

"Where is my dad Rhodey? He didn't come home last night and his phone is going to voice mail."

"Bella... Your dad..."

"What happened to my dad? He promised me that he would come home..."

"Your dad is currently MIA. But I promise you Bella, we will do everything we can to get you your dad back home to you."

Bella was trying not to break down, she took in a shaky breath, "Thank you. But, please, make sure he doesn't come home in a box... For me.. Please..."

"I'll try... Bye Miss Stark..." The line went dead. Bella walked to her dads garage, collapsing on her dads desk.

Bella let a few tears fall before she called Ms Potts again.

"Hello?"

"Virginia, can you come to my dad's house please? I'm in the garage if you can meet me..."

"Miss Stark? What's wrong?"

"Please, Miss Potts, I... I need your help... My dad... He's MIA..."

"I'll be there as fast as I can." Once again the line went dead and Bella was trying not to break down again.

Okay, so kinda short for a first chapter and kinda dull.

But I did not mean for Bella to seem like a spoiled brat it's just that had to get the point across that Bella and Pepper do not get along very well. And No body other then Pepper, Rhodey, Obadiah Stane and Happy know about Bella being the daughter of Tony Stark.

And if it is not to clear, this is the first Iron Man. This story is the first on my rewind on how Bella adjusted to her Dad being Iron Man and possibly how she became a Shield Agent, and possibly how she met the Fantastic four. (Basically, her life before she was Danella Vanira, the princess of Vanaheim.)

But let me know what you think.

Auggie Frank.
