Chapter 1

The Backstory

A/N: You the reader are the main character. So by reading this you agree to be involved in this world. This story is written for a female by a female. In this backstory you are aged 10 meanwhile your brother and future iron man, Tony Stark, is 15. I am basing you on myself. I got inspired for this in a highly awesome dream. I shall not be giving you a name as I am assuming that you should have a name. I do not own any of the characters including you

You are sitting in your bed, reading a book on mythology. You always found this subject highly interesting. As you flip through the leather bound book filled with careful and precise hand drawings of exotic creatures, you wonder about the nine realms while cross referencing it with the Greek world, before a loud clanging broke your thoughts. Right after on cue you heard a certain someone cussing loudly. This is what happens whenever father was away or in other words every day. You hear the tell-tale sign of beeping as your automated servants rush out frantically to clean up Tony's messes, AGAIN. With a sigh you walk down to the basement that has been converted to Tony's lair after his 9th birthday. As usual things were glowing dangerously and threatening to blow up. You scan the room looking for the cause and found your brother hunched over a screen muttering about recalibrations. His hair was sticking out in all directions giving him an interesting look. You just could not resist the temptation of a picture perfect moment. You whip out your handphone and exclaim.

"Smile for the camera"

Your brother turned around with a bewildered look and you snap the moment perfectly.

"Hey! What the hell" he muttered.

You stick out your tongue and do a weird dance while simultaneously singing "Tony's got the frizzies".

"Get out" he shouted.

You just ignore him and continue your weird jig around his lair. When you accidentally trip over your own feet and end up falling right in between two beams. At the moment Tony did not realise you were there and pressed the button. A powerful pulse hit you and you black out.

-Line Break-

You wake up sometime later in an unfamiliar white room. Your eyes slowly adjust to the glare of the room. You see your brother sitting in a chair with a hunch. You slowly sit up and call out for your brother. He turned up to look at you and you realise he had been crying.

"Hey don't get all emotional and mushy with me" you say gently.

"Your heart stopped and the doctors weren't sure you would ever wake up again. It's all my fault. I'm sorry," he apologised with a genuine look of worry on his face.

A nurse came over to check on you and you suddenly say

"Tony thinks you're pretty" to a shocked nurse. You shake your head and your mind is attacked by various thoughts. You scream in agony.

Tony looked at you with a look of scientific curiosity.

"I think the beam must have given you mind powers" he said in awe.

"Sweet!" he let out a whoop of joy.

"You think it's funny knowing what people are thinking. I don't even want to talk about what that creepy old man there is thinking of you" you answer back fuming mad.

You try to close yourself off and after several minutes of effort you manage to tune back to your own thoughts. People's thoughts are definitely dangerous. After some time you were told that you were fine and could go back home. You find your clothes laid out on the dresser by the hospital bed. You change quickly and soon get into the car with Tony and get back home. You find your dad waiting at home with a dangerous look. This is gonna be fun.

"Antony Edward Stark! What did I tell you about experimenting on people?" he bellowed.

Tony looked like he wanted to disappear. Hmm what was it that he said? That's right you have mind powers. Does that mean you can control Tony with your freaky mind powers? You decide to get even with him.

"Dad I'm … bawk bawk" his sentence stopped in midway as he started doing the chicken. You laugh at him and your dad looks at him with that look he always gives his toys.

"Interesting…" he muttered to himself and seemed to have forgotten his fury. He dragged chicken boy by the arm to his lair.

-At the lair—

"This is simply marvellous my son. Some day you would make a great inventor." Dad said with pride.

"This calls for a celebration. Tonight we shall have dinner as a family"

-Dinner Table-

"So what can you do?" asked dad.

"Erm… I can read minds and control people" you reply meekly.

"So what am I thinking now?" he asked.

"The chicken is great" you say hesitantly hoping you did it right and didn't read Tony's thoughts.

"This is amazing my daughter" he looked at you with a wide smile.

Preview in upcoming events:

"I don't think I can live up to the Stark name. I am not like you."

"So is this goodbye?"

"I guess so. Goodbye Tony I will miss living with you. Tell dad that this is something I must do"

"Can I at least have a goodbye hug from my loving brother"

"Sure. Just don't lose the Stark humour."

"Never"
