Okay, So this is kind've an idea that I've had floating around in my head for a while and I just really needed it to get out of my head. I haven't seen any stories like this so I really hope that mine is unique and that you guys like it :)

Tony Stark turned off the TV and sighed.

"JARVIS, check the stock numbers for me?"

"They are down 15%, sir"

"And Sarah Tech's numbers?"

"Up 38%"

Dammit! Tony thought, How could that damn girl steal all my business? She just

swooped in a took it all. She was like a parasite with boobs.

Out of boredom, He flipped the TV back on and he was looking directly into the face of his arch (Business) nemesis, not that she knew it. Well, he thought, She probably did know that she was stealing all his money and costumers, so he had to know that he hated her. He hated every fiber of her being, yet he couldn't seem to stop staring at her. He felt oddly compelled to help her, and he hated it. She confused him and he hated it.

Sarah Sttop. She was the girl version of Tony himself, 22 years old and richer

then Bill Gates. She hits it big with one computer program and all of a sudden

Stark Industries is a thing of the past. He won't lie though, Her computer program is great, just about all of Stark Industries computers used it, except his personal one of course. With his stocks dropping, he is slowly loosing money, just like he's lost everything else in his life.

*Flashback*

It was about 23 years ago when she left him. Pepper, the only girl he truly

loved, walked out on him, with no more then a note that said "I'm sorry Tony.

But it must happen like this. Pepper" and just like that she was gone. He was devastated, and he didn't understand what had happened between them. He had thought it was going fantastic, he had been planning on marrying her, and them living together, just the two of them. No kids, it wouldn't be fair to raise a child in the world he lived in, though they had always disagreed on that. He wished he could see her just one last time.

*End Flash Back*

He'd never heard from her again, and he missed her terribly. Sure his team was

still around, The Avengers, and they provided him company but they just weren't

the same as Pepper. Pepper understood him better then anyone else. She always

knew how to get him out of any sort of mood. She was his princess and she left.

Ugh, he thought. I need to get my mind off Pepper before I do something stupid.

He turned back to the TV and watched Sarah on the screen. She was very pretty,

if given the chance he would probably go after her, Although with her being that young, she probably wouldn't give in. She had light strawberry blonde hair, and dark chocolate brown eyes. She was very tall and had a nice body, he guessed probably a size 2. He hated looking at her though, her hair too closely resembled Pepper's and her face shaped almost the same, if he didn't know any

better he'd swear Pepper and Sarah were related. They couldn't be though, Sarah

was a child genius and those kind of things usually ran through genetics and Pepper didn't have that in her Genes. He would know. He'd run the tests to see what their child would've been like had Pepper finally convinced him, with his brains only being passed on in 12 outta the 135 different combinations that had been given. It was obviously a recessive gene.

Just then Steve Rogers, Aka Captain America, walked in to the living room.

"Watching this again Tony? It's not healthy for you to be obsessing over her

like this."

"I am not obsessing over her. I just need to know what the competition is up to"

"She's no competition Tony! You've got something she doesn't have, you're Iron

Man!"

"While that may be true, my stocks continue to go down and hers go up, so

technically she's stealing my money"

"Then pick yourself up and start building things again!"

Tony looked down at the ground and said silently "You know why I can't do

that..."

"I know what your excuse is, but it's been over 20 years! Your coming on 50! If

you don't get your act together Sarah Sttop will have stolen all of your

business."

"You think I don't know this? I've tried Cap! I have! But after Pepper left it

seems like everything I've ever built has tumbled down around me. Nothing

works."

"Well lets just hope that not everything comes crashing down" Steve said, with a

slight smile

"What do you mean?" Tony said, not really caring enough to try and understand

the joke, it probably sucks anyway, Tony thought.

"Well we are currently living in Stark Towers, a huge building built by Tony

Stark."

As much as he hated to admit it, it did cheer him up a bit. He looked at the

Captain.

"Thanks Cap, You sure know how to talk some sense into me"

"It's my job Tony, and speaking of jobs, Fury is downstairs, says he's got an

important message for all of us, and he's only telling us once so we all have to

be there"

"Alright.." Tony said "Give me like 10 minutes to be come semi-presentable"

"I'll let him know your on your way"

Tony walked upstairs to his room. "Meh... I hate changing out of my pajamas"

"Sir, You've been wearing the same clothes for 3 days, It'll do you some good to get out of them"

"Nobody asked you, JARVIS"

The AI ignored him and kept listing off some suggestions. "A shower would probably be helpful too, sir"

Tony pondered that, sniffed his shirt, and decided that yes, a shower was defiantly in order here.

After a quick shower, he changed into some jeans and a clean shirt and wondered downstairs to where everybody was waiting for him.

"Good. Tony is finally here" Nick Fury said. Tony hated when he came personally to the building, it usually meant that something terrible had happened. Something so bad that he didn't want to say it over the intercom. Tony did a quick scan of the room. Everyone was here, so it wasn't anything that involved loosing a member. They also all looked equally confused, which means that none of them knew what he was going to say. Maybe he was resigning, Tony thought, and then he started to smile at that prospect

"I'm not resigning Tony, Stop smiling"

"That's not at all what I was thinking about Director, I was just thinking about how lovely you looked in that suit today" he said, in his most innocent voice, that anyone other then Nick Fury would have bought

"Its the same suit I wear everyday, now shut up so I can talk"

"Hear that JARVIS!" Tony said to his AI "He wears the same suit everyday!"

"I understand, sir, but his are clean, and your pajamas were not"

"Tony! Pay attention!" Natasha hissed

"Fine" he said, and grumbled until Fury glared at him.

Tony made a gesture of zipping his lips closed and Fury glared at him for a few more seconds until he finally started to speak again.

"You guys have been put on, well how do I describe this, baby sitting duty."

"What!" Natasha yelled, "I never agreed to this! I will not be watching a snot-nosed spoiled brat"

"Me either" Tony agreed "I'm gonna have to pass on this one"

"None of you will be passing on it! You all must do it! and FYI, its not just some kid, she's technically not even a kid, She's 22"

"If she's old enough to be on her own, why is she coming here?" Bruce Banner asked

"Because she has people after her, people who want her gone, dead and killed. So you guys have been assigned to protect her"

"Alright, I guess we can do that, right guys?" Steve looked around at his fellow team mates, who all nodded in agreement, save for Thor who began to merrily jump around the room at the thought of meeting another Midgardian.

"So were all in agreement? Good, Sarah! Come on in!" Fury yelled

Tony's head whipped up at the sound of the name Sarah, and he looked up and right into the eyes of the only person he ever really truly hated, Sarah Sttop.

So what did you guys think? Good so far? I hope so, Because this idea has really been in my head since I saw the Avengers the first time, and its about time I got around to writing it. :3 So please review and let me know what you think :D
