*~Chapter One~*

Alyanna's Apartment, Bathroom

Alyanna Emily Jones looked at herself in the mirror. She was of average height, with toned arms and legs and slightly wide hips. She was a mix of Vietnamese and Caucasian, giving her the almond exotic brown eyes and long dark hair. She was dressed in a brilliant red mermaid dress, running up to her neck. Her hair was done in a beautiful braided bun and her make was was simple with thick wing eyeliner.

On her right shoulder, exposed to all, was one of her marks. It is a red circle with a yellow triangle in the middle of it. It's the size of her palm and caressed her shoulder gently. On her left shoulder was her other mark, a blue circle with a red star in the middle, again the size of her palm. On her neck, right above her spine, was a lightning bolt, her third mark. Below that, in the middle of her back was a lime green flower with a yellow center, this was her biggest mark, the size of a small dinner plate. Her last two marks were on each of her ankles, a red hourglass on her right ankle and a bow and arrow on her left.

Alyanna was the daughter of Arnold and Kimberly Jones, a scientist and a science school teacher. Her mother was adopted into the U.S when she was nine years old; at the age of twenty, she met her soul mate during a Stark weapons convention where her father was a new intern for Howard Stark. They married and years later they had her. But to say they were shocked by what marked their baby girl would be an understatement.

Throughout her childhood she dealt with many stares for no one had seen someone have so many soul mates before. Some gave her looks of envy while others with pity. When trying to enlist, She was almost disqualified because of her marks. But she proved them that she was capable of handling herself, and didn't have the distraction of six mates down her throat, worried about her being in danger.

She spent six years in the service and served three tours to Iraq where she earned the Medal of Honor for saving her commander and squad when caught in the line of fire. Since her father had worked for Howard Stark for many years, she was invited to his Son's home where he had planned an honorary banquet to celebrate her return and congratulations on her medal.

She found it highly unnecessary, but considering Stark had been generous enough to even recognize her, she figured she shouldn't turn down the billionaire playboy.

"I still don't see why I am the honored guest tonight, I have never even met Mr. Stark, why would he be interested in throwing me such an event?" She says into her phone, her best friend Annie was FaceTiming on the other end.

She hears a chuckle from her phone. "If you found out one of your father's employee's daughter won the medal of freaking honor, wouldn't you want to show that off?"

She sighs, reaching up and pinning back a loose stain of hair with a bobby pin. "I still don't believe I deserve all this. I was just doing my job."

"Aly, you ran through enemy fire with your wounded commander on your back. You took out five enemy soldiers while saving his life. You saved the whole squad. You are a hero," Annie tells her sincerely, her voiced laced with emotion.

Alyanna stares at her reflection, closing her eyes as the flashback of that scene played back into her mind. The yelling, the loud crack of rifles going off, the shouts of her men, and the explosion of grenades being thrown fills her mind.

She snaps her eyes open, "I was only doing what was right of me. I do appreciate being recognized, but a banquet for just me is a little much."

Annie scoffs, waving her hand in the air. "You look beautiful tonight, just go, smile, have fun, maybe you'll even meet one of your soul mates!"

Alyanna couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I have six soul mates and it's been 23 years and not a single one has found me."

"Maybe they are all in one place?" Annie teased. "Maybe it's Stark himself? The magazines say he has a mark, but still hasn't found her. Maybe that is why he is throwing this party for you!"

Alyanna dismisses her, "Annie! He is like 50 years old!"

"Actually he's only 41, and can I say sexy? Not to mention a superhero!"

She rolls her eyes again, but in the pit of her stomach she couldn't help but feel the tickle of butterfly wings. What if he was one her soul mates? And the party was just a way to get to her?

She shook her head to rid of the thoughts, no soul mate could wait that long after knowing who their soul mate was.

She glances at the clock above her toilet. "Crap! The limo will be here in 10 minutes, sorry Annie, but I have to get going! I'll call you tomorrow to tell you how it goes!"

"Good luck darling!"

Next Scene

In the Limo, pulling up to Stark Tower.

The door opens and Alyanna steps out of the sleek black limo. As soon as her silver heel hit the ground, she was assaulted with shouting and flashing cameras. She had to close her eyes and take a deep breath, trying her best to ignore the noise for it began to make her feel anxious. She pastes a smile on her face and began to walk down the deep blue carpet, nodding to everyone in appreciation.

She was met with a man in uniform at the door, she recognized him as Cpt. Randy Thomas, one of the officers at her unit. He offered her his arm, "Sgt. Jones, it is a pleasure and honor to be able to escort you this evening."

Alyanna blushes, taking his arm. "Thank you sir, it is a pleasure to be here."

He smiles before leading her through the big doors and to the main room. The ballroom was extravagant, with huge windows lining the walls, brilliant chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and dozens of circle tables with white table cloth and red roses as the centerpiece. She couldn't help but gawk.

Cpt. Thomas leads her to a smaller room where the reception was being help. "Will I be meeting Mr. Stark before the banquet begins?" She asked Cpt. Thomas, her eyes scanning around to all the people in the room.

"Unfortunately, Iron Man will be missing the reception. But he will be present to give you an award," he answers, grabbing a small cocktail for both of them.

Grabbing the drink, Alyanna had to swallow the disappointment. "Late to his own banquet?"

Cpt. Thomas gave her an apologetic smile. "No, tonight ma'am, it's your banquet."

Alyanna had to stop herself from grimacing.

She walked around the room where she was introduced to almost everyone. Many of the people were highly important personal in the government and high ranking officers in the military. Each greeted her warmly. By the end of the hour, she had forgotten almost all their names and was ready to leave, but she still had three more hours to go.

One person stood out to her though, Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes, Air Force liaison to Stark Industries. He approached her warmly, offering his hand.

"Sgt. Jones, it's a pleasure to meet you," Rhodes greets her. "I'm James Rhodes."

She shakes his hand firmly, smiling in return. "The pleasure is all mine."

"Tony wishes to extend his apologise for arriving late. He had a few things to take care of," he smiled sheepishly.

Alyanna knew exactly what he meant. "Iron man stuff?"

Chuckling, he confirms her beliefs. "Iron man stuff."

Everyone finally began to make their way back to the ballroom, taking their seat as the first toast and speeches began. But their was still no sign of Mr. Stark. Her commander, Col. Julian Martinez, who was still recovering from the attack, was the first to speak.

"Never in my 30 years of service have I ever met someone as strong and brilliant as Sgt. Jones...if she had not done what she did, me and some of our fellow soldiers would have flown home wrapped in the American flag…."

He went on to describe the amazing things she had done as well as listed some of her accomplishments. She felt tears well in her eyes as she listened to the kind words of praise and the raw emotion he expressed when speaking of their lives.

"And it's with my utmost honor and privilege to say this," Col Martinez turned to her. "Thank you." He then salutes her and she nods in return, gently reaching up and wiping a tear from her eyes. She smiled brightly as everyone clapped and cheered.

The lights suddenly changed color and the back windows began to move downwards. Their was a loud bang and everyone gasped and turned to see a bright light moving quickly towards the tower. Panic began to set in but was quickly defused when they saw what it was.

Iron Man had finally arrived.

Tony Stark flew in gracefully, capturing everyone's attention as he landed right on the stage. Everyone clapped and cheered as his metal suit began to retract to reveal him dressed in a black tux.

"Good evening ladies and gentleman, sorry I was running late, I was stuck in traffic." The court irrupted into laughter.

Alyanna felt her whole body tense up at seeing him. Her right shoulder began to burn and itch and she couldn't help but let out a short gasp.

Tony felt his soul mark on his right breast begin to stir. He paused slightly, his eyes scanning the room in wonder of who could be causing this sensation. For 23 years since the mark appeared he had not once felt it. But tonight it felt like it was on fire. His soul mate must be here. But since he was in front of all these people, and tonight was about honoring one of former employee's daughter, Sgt. Jones, he will search for his mate during dinner.

"If I calculated this correctly," he mutters under his breath, straightening up his tux. "Col. Martinez thank you for your wonderful words to our honored guest. Speaking of that," Tony pauses to walk to the podium where he bent down to retrieve a large plaque. "I must say how truly impressed I am to know that a former employee of mine had a daughter in the service. To say that she is now a Medal of Honor recipient is remarkable. I have heard of what Sgt. Alyanna Jones did for her platoon, and for that I would like to present this plaque and a check for $250,000!"

Confetti blew everywhere and the crowd went wild. "So Sgt Jones, if you could please come to the stage."

Alyanna felt her whole body stiffened at his words. Not only was that a lot of money, but now all the attentions was directly on her. The spotlight felt hot on her body and her shoulder flared up. She gulped and slowly rose, gaining Tony's attention.

His eyes flickered to her, finally seeing where she had been sitting. It was at the moment his whole world froze.
