Tony Stark had an awards Benefit in Vegas he had to go to he brings his daughter Caroline along with him. He wins the award but he is busy in the casino so when his his name is called Caroline accepts the award. " My father is very honored to accept this award."

Xxx

The next morning the woman Tony brought home to their mansion in Malibu is looking around the house for Tony in his dress shirt. She presses a button and an alarm goes off and a voice starts speaking to her startling her.

The front door opens and Christine turns around and sees a curly brown haired teenager in a black dress her heels are in her hand and she's yawning. Katherine met this guy last night named Elijah they spent the night together. " Who are you?"

Katherine just waves her heels at Christine and goes to her room. Katherine has been living with the Starks for a couple months her family used to work at Stark industries but they got relocated to Bulgaria.

Caroline and Katherine have been best friends since Caroline moved in with her dad when she was a baby. Caroline begged her dad to take Katherine in when they found out Katherine's parents were being relocated, Tony talked to Katherine's parents and they agreed.

Caroline and her other best friend Enzo were in the kitchen having breakfast when they heard the alarm and the voice. " That's Jarvis he runs the house and you must be my dads latest conquest."

Enzo has been living with the Starks since he was ten. Caroline and Katherine found him one day when they were at the park. Enzo was sitting on a bench alone, Caroline and Katherine came over sat down next to him and introduced themselves and they have been best friends ever since.

Enzo was in foster care and his foster mom had so many foster kids to look after she kind of forgot about Enzo so he took care of himself. Caroline and Katherine took it upon themselves to take care of him. Some nights he stayed at Caroline's house and some nights he stayed at Katherine's house.

One day Caroline asked him why they never go to his house and Enzo told them his mom gave him away and he lives with a bunch of other kids. Caroline understands her mom didn't want her either that's why she lives with her dad. Caroline begged her dad to talk to Enzo's foster mom and see if Enzo can live with them. Enzo's foster mom gave Tony all rights to Enzo.

Christine looks taken back at the question and that two teenagers are talking to her like this. "Excuse me."

Caroline is no stranger to telling the woman her father brings home to leave. " You just woke up from sleeping with Tony Stark right."

Christine nods " Well now that your life is complete. Pepper had your clothes dry cleaned and there's a car outside waiting to take you anywhere so you can leave."

" Who are you?"

Caroline shares a smiles with Enzo she loves this part when she shocks them with her identity. " Caroline Stark Tony's daughter."

Christine is stunned she can't believe Tony has a daughter.

Xxx

Caroline goes to the lab/garage and Enzo went to check on Katherine " Dad you can't just bring random women home other people live here too."

"I know that. Did the girl leave?"

" Yes she's gone you can come out of hiding now."

Tony looks at his daughter leaning up against her Porsche still in her pajamas a tank top and a pair of sleep shorts and a pair of Uggs. " And what about you when I left bed this morning I saw you sneaking a guy out."

Caroline goes to say something but closes her mouth then opens it again " We're not taking about me."

Tony had to raise Caroline on his own her mother was a one nightstand that didn't want her after she gave birth. " Now Caroline I've been a pretty easy parent I let your two best friends live with us, I've taken you all over the world, got you a Porsche. I need you to promise me that you won't fall in love with the first guy who thinks your pretty. Some guys out there will think your pretty your blonde you will be easily tricked and try to scam you. You prove them wrong your extremely smart and the future CEO of Stark industries."

Caroline nods but Tony isn't done parenting "Answer me one thing then I will drop it."

Tony is very protective of his daughter she is the most important person in his life the only other person who comes close to that level of important is his assistant Pepper. " What is it?"

" How did you meet this guy and does he have a name."

Caroline shakes her head and smiles she loves her dad so much he's always been there for her no matter what. If she had a problem and he was in a meeting he would stop the meeting and deal with her problem then goes back to his meeting. " First that's two questions and by the way that reporter woman couldn't have waited until we were home to jump your bones I did not need to see her kissing you in the helicopter. But anyway after we got home Katherine and Enzo asked me if I wanted to go out I figured you might want some privacy so we went out and I met this guy his name is Klaus he's amazing, British and really hot."

Tony can see his daughter is smiling talking about this Klaus guy. " Are you going to see him again?"

" I don't know I might."

Tony nods changing the topic "Are you ready to leave for Afghanistan?"

Caroline folds her arms over her chest she knows her dad isn't going to like this it's their thing to go on business trips together. Tony has always brought Caroline on his trips for one she was to young to stay home alone but two he loved their father daughter trips. " I'm not going I love traveling with you dad but I'm seventeen. I think you can do this one on your own. If you were going to be going to Paris, Milan, Rome, Italy even Australia I would so go but not this time. But I will drive you and pick up plus throw a party for you when you get back."

" Ok it won't be nearly as fun now."

" Dad of course it will be your going to be exploding things your favorite and there will be alcohol your other favorite."

Xxx

Caroline pulls up to the Stark private plane and sees James Rhodes her dads marine friend "Your late."

James always kind of scared her. " Sorry we were having a father daughter talk it took a little long."

James just looks at the teenager as she hugs her dad " I love you be safe."

" I love you too."

Xxx

Caroline comes back from dropping her dad off and there's an envelope in front of door. Enzo is watching tv in the living room when she comes in. " Hey gorgeous what's in the envelope?"

She sits on the couch next to him and opens the envelope and two pieces of paper comes out. Enzo picks one up while Caroline is checking to see if anything else is in the envelope. The picture Enzo picked up is a hand drawn picture of Caroline sleeping. " Gorgeous I think you have a stalker."

Caroline looks at the picture then notices there's a message at the bottom "Had a really good time last night Klaus."

" I don't have a stalker they're from that guy I met last night Klaus."

Enzo picks up the other picture is Caroline at the club they went to last night dancing. This one says " Can I see you again."

"He's a good artist I'll give him that but its still creepy he's sending you a hand drawn picture of you sleeping."

Caroline taking the pictures and standing up " I think they're romantic."

Two hours later Caroline and Katherine go to the mall to get a dress for Caroline's date that night. Enzo had opted out of the shopping trip he's been on enough shopping trips with Caroline and Katherine to last him a lifetime.

Xxx

That night Enzo answers the door and Klaus is on the other side wearing a suit. Caroline comes down the stairs in a short black strapless dress with black heels. Katherine and Enzo were just going to order a pizza and have a night in. " Have fun you too don't do anything I wouldn't do."

" Don't destroy the house."

Enzo getting comfy in a chair jokes " That's why we have Jarvis."

Jarvis speaks up " I take offensive to that."

Xxx

Klaus is in awe of this beautiful woman. He takes her to a fancy restaurant while they're waiting for there food they're talking. " I loved the drawings you sent me they're beautiful."

Klaus doesn't show anyone his drawings he has six siblings and they've see him draw but they don't see the drawing. " Thank you your the first person who I've shown my drawings to."

Caroline smiles she feels touched that he has shown her his drawings. " You should show others there really good it's like they're professional. Do you paint or just draw?"

" Both I have a studio at home that none of my siblings are allowed in."

As they're exiting the restaurant Klaus goes over to the valet and the paparazzi surround Caroline " Caroline who's the new guy?" " Is it true you and Ryan Gosling had a fling." "Anything new coming from Stark industries."

Caroline learned from a young age don't talk to the paparazzi. She finally gets to the car and Klaus is waiting for her "I'm sorry about that they get so annoying."

Klaus has lived in California since he was twelve and he has never been swarmed by the paparazzi. His family owns a chain of hotels called Mikaelsons. Klaus walks Caroline to the door and kisses her. "I fancy you. Your beautiful your strong your full of light I enjoy you."

Caroline blushes, " I enjoy you too." She looks down embarrassed " I would invite you in its only Katherine, Enzo and I. My dads out of the country but our butler Jarvis would tell him if I had a boy in the house."

Klaus lets out a little laugh " I understand I'll call you tomorrow."

Caroline smiles and kisses him one more time.

Xxx

Caroline is waiting on the Tarmac the next day when James comes off the plane with out Tony. " Where's my dad?"

" The car he was in was attacked."

Caroline covers her face with her hands " No he's gone he can't be gone."

James never liked the teenager she was always getting in the way but he does feel bad for her. " Caroline I will find your father."

Caroline was planning a party for her fathers welcome home she found women that he hadn't sleep with which is hard to do by the way. She had to cancel when she found out there was an explosion.

Xxx

While Tony is being held hostage to build a missile for the terrorists he and his translator who is also a doctor are talking one night. Tony asks him if he has a family he says yes. The doctor asks if Tony has a family " I have a daughter and her two best friends live with us."

Xxx

Three months later:

Caroline, Katherine and Enzo along with Pepper are waiting on the Tarmac when Tony comes off the plane his arm is in a sling " Dad."

Caroline runs to her dad and Tony hugs his daughter with one arm " Caroline."

Once in the car Pepper insist they go to the hospital but Tony only wants a cheeseburger. "Dad you have to go to the hospital you were a hostage for three months."

" Cheeseburger first, press conference, then hospital."

Caroline knows when to pick her fights with her dad and this is not one of those times to argue. They get to Stark industries where the press conference is taking place as Tony is eating his second cheeseburger.

Caroline, Katherine and Enzo are standing with Pepper in the back when a guy in a suit comes up to them " I'm agent Phil Coulson with the strategic homeland intervention enforcement and logistics division."

"Wow that's a mouthful."

Phil hands Pepper a card " We're working on it."

Pepper tells him she will put something in the books.

Tony tells everyone to sit down while he pulls out another cheeseburger from his pocket "Goldilocks what's wrong with Tony?"

" I don't know maybe being a hostage for three months has made him a little crazier than usual."

Tony starts the press conference by telling everyone that he never got to say goodbye to his dad and that Caroline never even got to meet her grandfather or grandmother. Tony stands up and goes behind the podium and announces that effective immediately he his shutting down the weapons manufacturing division.

Xxx

The next day Tony calls Enzo into his lab/garage. When Enzo gets down there he sees Tony sitting in a chair with a thing on his chest. He would of called Caroline but he doesn't want her to worry about him anymore than she already is. "Tony what did you need?"

" I need your help how big are your hands."

Enzo is so confused right now he shows Tony his hands. " What is that thing?"

Tony is holding a glowing circle "Before i was taken there was an explosion I was fixed but there is shrapnel close to my heart this was keeping me alive."

Those three months Caroline never gave up hope her father was alive but she wasn't her bubbly happy self. "What do you mean was keeping you alive and what do you want me to do?"

He holds up the glowing thing in his hand " This will keep me alive I need you to put it in my chest but there is an exposed wire I need you to reach in and take the wire out."

Enzo looks at his foster father he knows Tony is a little crazy but this is insane. " Is this safe shouldn't we call Caroline."

" I don't want her to worry. You remember when Caroline, Katherine and you used to play operation this is the life size version the wire can't touch the socket wall."

" You do remember Caroline always won operation."

"Enzo just pull the wire out and don't let it touch the socket."

Enzo sticks his hand in the circle it's so gross and it smells as Enzo is pulling the wire he accidentally touches the socket and it makes a noise he panics and pulls out the whole thing and it goes off. " What's happening?"

Tony somewhat nervous now " Oh nothing I'm going into cardiac arrest because you pulled the whole thing out quickly put this in."

" You never told me how far to pull it out."

Enzo puts the glowing circle wires in his chest but accidentally touches the socket again then clicks it into place. "There."

"Next time I have a chest problem I'm calling Pepper."

Enzo turns around from wiping his hands off " Hey I just saved your life I had my hand inside your chest plus I did tell you I wasn't that good at operation."

Xxx

A couple days later Tony is downstairs in the lab while Caroline is down in the ocean with Klaus. " You know how to surf?"

"Yeah my dad taught me in these's waters too."

Klaus looks up at the big white Mansion that sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean. " Have you lived here your whole life?"

" Yeah, sometimes when my dad has a meeting with one of his business associates in New York we stay at my grandfathers mansion there but we mostly live here."

Xxx

" Jarvis are you awake?"

" For you sir always."

Tony moving plans from one screen to another then to a work desk so he can visible see them. "We need a secret file and do you know where Caroline is?"

" What should this file be called and Caroline is surfing with her boyfriend."

That stops Tony from figuring out this project. " Tell me everything about this boyfriend."

Jarvis finishes creating the file " His name is Klaus birth name Niklaus he is the fourth child of Esther Mikaelson and stepson to Mikael Mikaelson they own the largest chain of hotels in the country. Klaus has six siblings Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah and Henrik. They went out on a date the first night you left she didn't invite him in. They have been dating since then."

Tony getting rid of things on his secret file " Thank you Jarvis."

Xxx

A couple days later Tony is trying the feet first and tries to fly but ends up hitting a wall behind him. Caroline comes running down the stairs having heard a thud then a bang. " Dad what is going on?"

Tony gets up " I'm fine."

Caroline looks at him he has the thing on his chest glowing his feet are in robot shoes and he has this robotic thing on his arm. " Seriously because when I came down dum-e was hosing you down because of fire safety."

Dum-e is a robotic hand helping machine build by Tony. Tony taking the stuff off. " Trust me I'm fine."

Xxx

Katherine comes down later and sees Tony sitting at a table. " Is this part of the robot boots Caroline told me about earlier."

Tony is trying a robot arm on " Yes watch."

He opens his fist and a ball of energy comes out and the force of it flies him backyards. Katherine helps him up and tells him that Obadiah is upstairs.

They walk up from the lab and Obadiah Stane Tony's second in command at Stark industries is playing the piano and there's pizza on the table. Katherine takes a slice and leaves.

" Tony we need to talk its like an orphanage in here kids everywhere I came in and a teenager took the pizza box while another came from a different room and two were leaving."

Tony opens the pizza box and slices are missing he grabs a slice. " There's three teenagers and one of the teens at the so called orphanage that I run is my daughter."

Xxx

Day 11 Tony called Caroline, Katherine, and Enzo to his lab he has the teenagers standing a reasonable distance away and Dum-e is ready to hose him down if he's on fire. Butterfingers another robotic hand helping machine has the camera.

Tony has the boots and the arms on he starts hovering then comes down. He scolds Dum-e for following him with the fire extinguisher.

He tries a higher voltage and is in the air again but moves over the very expense cars. " Watch the cars."

Tony is trying to steer himself away from the cars " I'm trying this is not easy."

He gets away from the cars and gets near the teenagers " Dad."

Tony tries again to control the flying " I know and hey it could be worse."

He finally lands on the ground " I can fly."

He puts on the rest of the suit and Jarvis is already programmed in the suit. " I'm taking it out for a test drive."

Caroline looks at her dad in this grey iron man suit "Do you think that's safe?"

" Why not and I won't go to high so if there are any malfunctions I won't fall that hard."

Xxx

Klaus was about to ring the doorbell when he sees this thing fly out of the garage and Into the sky, he sees Caroline and Enzo run out of the garage after it. Katherine left she had a date with Elijah. "Love what is going on?"

Caroline turns around surprised he's here " Did we have plans tonight?"

" No I was just wondering if you want to hangout?"

" That is so sweet I'm in the middle of something at the moment family issues you know how it is, but give me an hour and we can go."

Klaus nods and sees how both Caroline and Enzo are looking at the sky. " What was that thing that flew out of your garage and into the sky?"

Caroline still looking up into the sky to see if she can see her dad. " The family issues I mentioned earlier."

Caroline, Enzo and Klaus who decided to wait are watching from the driveway. When Tony lands on the roof he tells Jarvis to kill the power and falls through the roof.

Xxx

Before running off Caroline turns to Klaus. " One moment please."

Caroline and Enzo run Into the house and see the destroyed piano they run down to the garage Tony is laying on the ground next to an completely smashed Shelby cobra 1967. Dum-e is hosing him off so he doesn't catch on fire he was never on fire. " Dad are you ok?"

"That was awesome."

Caroline shoves Enzo while Tony gets the helmet off " I'm fine just a little pain in my head can someone get me an ice pack."

Caroline helps him up while Enzo comes back with an ice pack. " Cinderella your prince is still waiting upstairs."

Caroline totally forgot what with her dad falling through the house. " Oh my god Klaus I completely forgot he probably hates me I just ran off."

Xxx

Klaus takes her to get ice cream. As they're coming back they drive past the third annual Tony Stark Benefit for the firefighters family fund is taking place. Caroline slaps herself on the forehead. " How could I forget the benefit."

" Do we need to stop?"

Caroline looks at their outfits her summer dress and his jeans and a Henley. " No we're not dressed appropriately it's a black tie event. I forgot I was going to go because Obadiah wants my dad to lay low after the whole situation."

" Are you sure I wouldn't mind."

" Just for a couple minutes but we need to change first how fast can you get a suit."

" I own one."

Caroline runs up to her room and puts on red draped mini dress with black heels and grabs a clutch. Klaus gets his tux and they arrive at the benefit.

Paparazzi are taking their photo outside they get inside and go to the bar when Caroline notices Phil. " Your the guy with the really long title you need a new name why don't you just call it SHIELD for short."

" We'll think about it."

Caroline had ordered a soda " So what are you doing here?"

"It's classified."

" Whatever." She turns to Klaus " Want to dance?"

Klaus takes her to the dance floor and they're dancing when Caroline spots her father talking with Christine. " I am so sorry again will you excuse me for a moment."

Xxx

" Dad what are you doing here?"

" Caroline what are you doing here I thought you had a date."

" I did but on the way home I remembered the benefit."

Caroline looks over at Christine " What are you doing here trying to sleep with my dad again let me tell you he doesn't sleep with women a second time."

Christine is appalled Tony's daughter is speaking to her like this she takes the photos she showed Tony and leaves.

Xxx

As Klaus is driving her home Caroline is apologizing " I am so sorry I keep leaving. Being a Stark is hard everyone thinks I'm a super genius because of my last name. I am a genius like my dad and grandfather but I'm also a girl. I want to have fun, hang out with my friends, date and yet I get questions about the company. People at school judge me because of my last name and what my dad used to do. I can't promise I won't run off again but I can promise I'll come back to you."

" It's ok love it makes the relationship interesting never knowing if your staying or leaving."

" Thank you for understanding."

Klaus kisses her " I love you."

Caroline blushes " I love you too."

Xxx

After her date she goes down to the lab she's still smiling from Klaus telling her he loves her when she sees all the glass windows in the lab are broken. " Do I even want to know?"

" I was testing the arm out."

Caroline shakes her head and looks at the robot arm on her dad. " Whatever I'm going to bed."

Tony sees how tired his daughter is her head is leaning on the doorframe. " Good night Caroline."

" Night dad."

Xxx

The next day Tony is trying the suit on for the first time all finished its red and gold. " Wow dad way to keep a low profile and be discrete."

After his first test with the finished suit which he saved a village then got attacked by the military.

Caroline comes to see how it went and walks in and her dad is getting his suit off the machines are helping him but he is struggling. " You know I don't want to know."

"Oh come on you have to admit this isn't the weirdest thing you've caught me doing."

"Dad are those bullet holes?"

"There was an incident."

Xxx

A couple days later Tony sends Caroline to the Stark industries to get some files. Caroline, Katherine and Enzo sneak in to Obadiah's office.

Enzo is keeping watch while Caroline and Katherine hack into his computer. Caroline's phone rings she looks at who's calling it's Klaus. " Hi I can't talk at the moment I'll call you back."

Caroline clicks on a folder and it's a video in a different language she hits translate. " Oh my god."

Katherine was looking at another folder Enzo turns around " What?"

" It wasn't a mistake that my dad was taken hostage Obadiah paid those terrorists to kill him."

" Obadiah also got my family relocated to Bulgaria."

" Gorgeous we have a problem Obadiah is coming."

" It's not done downloading yet."

"You two need to hide he hates all of us the only reason he mildly puts up with me is because of my dad."

Enzo and Katherine hide Caroline is still at the desk when Obadiah comes in. " Miss Stark what brings you to my office?"

Caroline takes a breath time to use the Stark charm. " I was getting a feel of the company when my dad steps down as CEO I will take his place plus I wanted to see if you had a better view in your office then in my dads office."

Obadiah gets himself a drink and sits on his desk right next to the computer still downloading all files. Caroline puts a folder over the flash drive to hide it and minimizes the downloading. " I'm so happy Tony is home but it doesn't seem like he brought all of himself home."

Out of the corner of Caroline's eye the door opens just a little and Enzo and Katherine sneak out of the room." My dad is a complicated person but he's perfectly fine all of him was brought back."

Caroline pulls the flash drive out and and takes the paper with her to hide the flash drive " Is that today's paper?"

She looks back nervous. Obadiah points to the paper " Oh I didn't even realize I picked it up."

Caroline walks out of the office and sees Katherine and Enzo right outside the door. " We need to get out of here and fast."

Obadiah goes over to his computer and there's a message on the screen 'download complete' He's mad they stole his files.

Xxx

They're walking down the stairs when they see Phil sitting in the entrance. " Miss stark is your father in we had an appointment."

"No but we will take you to him. Come right now let's go. How do you feel about running because we might need to run if there's anybody chasing us."

Phil joins the fast walking teenagers " Excuse me."

Xxx

They get home and give Tony the flash drive. "We are never doing that again Obadiah almost caught us and he was the reason you were a hostage."

That night Tony and Enzo are in the living room watching the basketball game, Enzo goes to get something to drink. Obadiah had snuck into the house and is behind Tony with a button they made to cause someone short term paralysis. Enzo comes back in as Obadiah pulls the thing out of Tony's chest.

Enzo punches him in the face. " You decided to get your hands dirty this time trying to kill Tony."

Obadiah punches Enzo in the eye Who stumbles back a couple steps. " I can't let you take that."

Obadiah looks at the teenager with a forming black eye. " And who's story is everyone going to believe when it is found out Tony Stark is dead an orphan teenager or the new CEO of Stark industries."

Enzo has to figure out how to get that the glow thing back and into Tony's chest. " You will never be CEO that is Caroline's birthright."

"Not if she doesn't live through tonight."

Obadiah leaves with the one thing that makes Tony live.

Xxx

Enzo texts Caroline. "Get home now emergency."

Caroline was on a date with Klaus. Enzo texted Katherine too. " Get home now Tony's in trouble."

Katherine was with Elijah she told him she had to go he offered to drive her home she does think of Tony as a second dad she runs in the house. " Enzo what wrong?"

Enzo points to Tony who is grey and has veins all over his face " Tony it's going to be ok." she turns towards Enzo "What happened?"

Enzo explains and Katherine remembers something. " The prototype its downstairs go get it."

Enzo runs down to get it he can't find it Dum-e grabs it and hands it to him " Good boy Dum-e."

Katherine is trying to comfort Tony while texting Caroline who won't pick up the phone. " It's going to be ok just don't move."

"Is Caroline here yet?"

"No and I'm worried if you sent the same text to her she would be here in a second."

"Jarvis wake up."

" Yes miss Petrova."

Katherine watching Enzo carefully put the prototype in Tony's chest. " We need you to locate Caroline and send us her coordinates."

" Right away."

Xxx

Enzo and Katherine run out the front door and bump into Elijah and Klaus who are looking up at the sky. " You came back. "

"Why are you here do you know where Caroline is?"

" You left your purse in my car when you ran out is everything ok?"

" No I don't. I was driving her back here and this car came out of nowhere and smashed into us and these men grabbed Caroline and put her in a van and drove off."

Katherine and Enzo share a nervous look " We need you to drive us somewhere our cars are downstairs in the garage and we don't have time to get them."

They all get in Elijah's car " Where am I taking you?"

Katherine swallows this might sound weird " Did you see that thing fly up into the sky?"

Elijah nods "We need you to follow it its life or death."

Xxx

Caroline was dragged back to Stark industries sector 16 which is where Obadiah has been building his own suit except his is much bigger. Obadiah starts shooting at Caroline who starts running she gets outside and Tony calls her. Caroline is in full panic mode. " Dad are you ok? Help Obadiah has gone insane he's made a suit it's huge and he wants to kill both of us and take over the company."

" I know get out of there."

As Caroline is turning to leave the ground starts to rumble and Obadiah comes up threw the ground. " Going somewhere."

Caroline is backing up Obadiah gets ready to shoot her when Tony flies out of the sky. " Don't touch my daughter."

He flies right into Obadiah they crash into a building and over a bridge and land on the highway.

Xxx

Elijah had been following Tony in the sky and stops the car when he sees two metal suits fighting In the middle of the highway.

Katherine and Enzo stick their heads out the window looking for Caroline when Jarvis speaks threw the radio. " Miss Stark is outside of Stark industries."

Elijah is a little taken back this unknown British voice is speaking threw his radio Katherine and Enzo stick their heads back in when they hear Jarvis. " Thank you Jarvis."

" Elijah drive you heard Jarvis we need to get to Stark industries."

Elijah somehow manages to get through the highway without being in an accident or being picked up and used as a weapon against Tony.

Xxx

They arrive at Stark industries and Caroline is scared and alone. Katherine and Enzo run out of the car and hug her. " Your safe."

Klaus hugs her too Caroline looks around. " How is my dad even here Obadiah took his glow thing and put it in his suit."

" Katherine and I put the prototype in his chest."

" The prototype isn't as strong as the one Obadiah stole and he wants to kill Tony and myself we have to go."

Xxx

They arrive just In time to see Tony fly up to maximum altitude and Obadiah right behind him " What is he doing?"

" Don't you remember when my dad broke the house he flew up into the sky as far as he could go he began to freeze he's freezing himself to get Obadiah to freeze. The only thing is the prototype wasn't made for something like this."

Katherine and Enzo are used to Caroline and her brainiac mind but Klaus and Elijah are not they're looking at her like how do you know this. " What I'm a Stark being a genius is in our DNA my grandfather helped create Captain America and his shield."

Xxx

Pepper runs up to them with Phil and five other guys. " What's going on Enzo sent me a text saying Tony's in trouble bring Phil and back up."

" You two weren't picking up the phone I texted Pepper."

Caroline looks over at Pepper she has known Pepper her whole life. Pepper helped raise her. " Obadiah has gone insane he wants my dad and me dead so he can take over the company he build a suit bigger than the one my dad build and they just flew up into the sky Tony is trying to freeze him."

" Love what is going on exactly?"

Caroline looks over guilty she hasn't been telling him the the truth " Ok truth time I can't really hide the truth any longer after you witnessing this. You remember the night of the benefit you came to my house and saw something fly out of the garage then fall through the house and I said it was family issues. That was my dad my dad is Iron Man."

" You mean to tell me that I slept down the hall from Iron Man."

" No you slept down the hall from Tony Stark genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist he hadn't become Iron Man yet." Caroline looks up into the sky " I can't watch my dad die he's the only parent I have."

Klaus pulls her into his chest " If there's anything I know about the Stark family it is their resilient you will see your dad again love."

Xxx

Obadiah falls out of the sky frozen and Tony starts to fall he is running on emergency back up power. Tony makes it to the ground with only one fumble. Caroline goes running over to him and helps him take the suit off. " Dad your alive."

" I am and your safe."

"Tony look out."

Obadiah picks up Tony and squeezes him. Tony manages to make it smokey and hides behind a wall he calls Caroline " Caroline I need you to blast the roof."

Caroline is so worried about her dad " How?"

Tony explains what to do. They run to the central consul room and everyone opens a circuit. While Tony tries to distract Obadiah. " Ready."

Obadiah is shooting at Tony he falls threw the glass ceiling but is still holding on. "Dad."

Obadiah is still shooting more glass is falling into the room.

Klaus has Caroline's head in his chest while Elijah has Katherine protected and Enzo is protecting himself. " Caroline hit the button."

Caroline looks up at her dad holding on to the ceiling by one hand " You will die if I press it."

" I love you Caroline press the button."

" I love you too dad."

She presses the button and Klaus gets her away from all the electricity she just released.

All the electricity in the big doom shoots up and they hear Tony yell.

The electricity makes a beam shooting into the sky making the clouds go black and half of the surrounding cities loses power.

Obadiah leans forward dead through the ceiling and into the dome which creates an explosion.

Everyone had run outside they find Tony, Caroline runs over to him. " Never never never ever have me do something like that again I can't loose you."
