Hey guys, so this is my first Iron Man fanfic… Haha I feel so nerdy but oh well. Let's just say I have an obsession... Oh and the main characters name (Tony's daughter) is called Eden… just like in most of my stories XD and this story is placed before Tony is Iron Man :P
Also I'm not Spanish or Mexican (I'm Australian ;P) so sorry if I get anything wrong…
Disclaimer: I don't own Iron Man or the Avengers, so don't sue me ;~;
Eden's P.O.V:
"Eden, come down and do your choresl!" My mother shouts from down stairs waking me up from my slumber. I glance towards the clock in my room, its 7am… I've only had 3 hours sleep. Oh well. I get out of my bed and walk over to my older brother's bed.
"Thomas, get up!" I shout as I push him out of his bed.
"I'm up woman, calm your tits." He says as he wipes to sleep out of eyes. I shake my head and quickly get my clothes to change in the bathroom down the hall. I also make sure that I have my necklace that has my first name engraved on it. I've had the necklace ever since I can remember, and I don't think the family I have now gave it to me… it looks pretty expensive. Oh, where's my manors. I'm Eden Veloz. And yes, if you can't tell my last name is Spanish. Wonder why? Because we're Mexican, well they're Mexican, I'm actually adopted. My family and I crossed the border illegally, and then we went on a bus to Los Angeles when I was 8 years old. They said they found me on the streets unconscious so they took me in. But, my first memory that I could remember was when I woke up. But I knew before then that they weren't my real parents. I mean they all have black hair and brown eyes. They also have really tan skin. I have brown hair and blue eyes, and pale skin. Not terribly pale, but compared to them I was as white as a ghost.
After I get changed I walk down stairs to do my chores. Right now its school break so I don't have to get ready for school. I start to wash up from when my dad had breakfast earlier. After I've done that I take the trash out, ect. After I finished my chores for the day (Well until night time anyway…) I put on my converse ready to go for a walk, maybe even go shopping.
"Mum, I'm going now." I shout
"Where are you going, dear?" She asks curiously.
"Just for a walk around, I might go to one of friends' houses as well." I say as I open the door.
"Okay dear, but can you get some things for dinner while you're out?" Mum asks me. I sigh, I'm going to have to dig into my savings. But oh well, mum would do the same for me.
"Sure, I'll just go get some money from my room." I state walking back up the stairs to my room. I was saving my money to get some parts for a project that I'm working on but I guess family comes first, even if I don't like my family. I walk over to my cupboard I get out $285, which will leave $300 for my parts. Oh, and the reason I have all this money is because I work some part time shifts at a Chinese shop down the road, but only sometimes because they don't like to hire teenagers. I walk down the stairs with the money in my pocket.
"Here's the list." Mum says, "Oh, and be home before dark." She adds as I walk out the door.
"Okay mum." I state as I close the door. I look at the list, there isn't much to buy on it so I should have $170 left after. But I'm not going to buy the things until the end of the day when everything is cheaper at the local food shop. Hm, I think I might go to Malibu for a while. I mean it only takes twenty minutes to get there by a train, and the train ticket is rather cheap only 30 dollars for a ticket there and back. I walk into the train station. This will be fun, I guess. I go up to the ticket booth, I buy my ticket there and back.
~~~~Time Skip to after the train ride~~~~
I walk out the train station, after 20 minutes on the train I'm glad to be out. I guess while I'm here I'll go and see what Malibu has to offer. I start to walk down the path when I see a coffee shop. I can smell the coffee from here, that delicious smell of tasty coffee goodness. I walk in and order a coffee. I know why would a 15 year old drink coffee? Well, why wouldn't I drink coffee? It's addicting! A woman hand me my coffee I hand her the payment and of course a tip. I walk out of the coffee shop sipping my coffee as I go. As I take yet another sip of my coffee my vision is blinded by the lid of the cup and since I'm such a bad luck charm I run into someone spilling coffee on both of us. Oh god.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry!" I apologize, oh sweet baby Jesus I'm in deep shit this time.
"Hey, this is a new shirt!" He shouts completely ignoring me, I look up at him. My eyes widen noticing who it is. It's Tony Stark. Tony fucking Stark!
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to! I'll pay for it! How much was it?" I ask/ramble.
"It was $200." He tells me, well. There goes food money, I sigh and take out the $200 of cash out from my pocket.
"Well, here." I say holding out the money for him to take which he does.
"Why are you carrying $200 worth of cash on you?" He asks.
"Well, my madre wanted me to comprar some alimentos." (madre = mother comprar = buy alimentos = food) I state using some Spanish words because I don't want him to know that the money was for food. Because then he'll make me pay him back with some other way.
"You're Spanish?" He asks. Shit he speaks Spanish. Oh god.
"Er, um, adios!" I shout walking away quickly as I could but he grabs my shoulder. I smerk.
"Did you know 70% of rapes start off with someone touching someone else's shoulder." I state loud enough for him to here. Immediately he lets go of me and I run away from him. I run all the way back to the train station. I have to go home and get some money out to buy the food that mum wanted me to buy. I quickly give my ticket to the train adviser and I jump on board and take my seat. To my disliking Tony had followed me on the train and took the seat next to me. URGH! What is he a stalker or something?
"What's your name?" He asks me.
"Why do you want to know?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"Because," he states.
"Well, my name is Eden Veloz." I say in a bored tone. I glance over to Tony looking up my name on his phone, eheheh he won't find anything because I'm adopted and I'm not even sure if Eden is even my first name. I sit there for a moment when I realize I just gave my family name out. I freeze. Well, I guess I'll be going to jail…
"What are your parents' names?" He ask me.
"I dunno." I shrug, I do know my parents' names but I'm not telling him.
"You don't know your parents' names?" He asks.
"… Nope." I state.
"So, Veloz is a strange name-"I cut him off there.
"It's Spanish." I state
"Are you from Mexico?" He asks. I should really start to think before I say something. I shrug.
"You don't look Mexican." He says.
"Ehehe, Yeah I know. I'm actually adopted… sort of" I say.
"Sort of?" He asks repeating me.
"Yup." I state not wanting him to ask 'why'.
"Why?" NO, DON'T ASK WHY ;~;
"Because I'm awesome." I state. Yes, that is my answer.
"Well, why can't I find any files on you?" He asks
"Is this like, a game of twenty questions or something?" I ask, I sick of all these questions.
"You just remind me somebody that I used to know…" He states. Eheh That's a song… somebody that I used to know… XD
