Kelsy Banner is the daughter of Bruce and a woman he briefly dated in college. Kelsy is 22 and has only met her father a few times. Her mother had decided after Kelsy turned 5 that she didn't want her anymore and left her to be raised by her grandparents without Bruce's knowledge. Bruce had tried to contact Kelsy and her mother for years until the other guy came into the picture. He thought it would be best to keep Kelsy safe. Now Kelsy is fresh out of college and in desperate need of her father's help. This will take place right after the events of New York.
Disclaimer, I don't own The Avengers. Although I wish I owned Captain. Whoo… What a hottie. Just own my ideas and my story! enjoy.
Walking out of yet another doctor's office feeling the same dread I had for the last month and a half, I pulled my phone out of my pocket to see if I had any new messages. That is when I saw the email from one of my dad's old friends. I had been searching for my father ever since I had found out that I had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. Neither of my grandparents or my cousins had been a match and I was on a donor search list, but that could take years for me to find a match and the doctors didn't think I had that long.
I first noticed that something was wrong about a month before I graduated college. I was always tired so at first I chalked it up to being stressed and late nights studying. Then I started noticing the bruises and that I was getting weaker. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed, they said that if I started treatments right away and had a bone marrow transplant then I had a good chance. So right away they had my family tested to see if they were a match. No one was, so that led me to this email I had just received. All that the message contained was a phone number. I quickly called it crossing my fingers that this would be the sign I was looking for.
"Stark Industries, How may I help you?" A cheery woman answered the phone.
"Umm yes, I am looking for Bruce Banner and one of his old friends gave me this number?" I said nervously. Why would my father be associated with Tony Stark?
"May I ask who is calling?" The woman replied.
"My name is Kelsy, I am Bruce's daughter. I really need to speak with him. It is urgent." I started to ramble.
"Well Bruce isn't in but I can direct you to Mr. Stark to see if he has heard from him lately. Please hold." The woman said as she put me on hold. Had I finally found where my father is? I sure hope so!
"This is Tony. What can I do you for?" The man said as he answered the phone. I couldn't help but giggle as he said this. I had heard that Tony was kind of a playboy jokester.
"Hello, Mr. Stark, my name is Kelsy Banner, I am Bruce's daughter and I was wondering if you knew how to get a hold of him. It is kind of important that I see him."
"Wait! Banner has offspring?" Tony asked sounding shocked.
"Yes, I have only seen him a few times though, but please Mr. Stark this is really important. My life kind of depends on it." I said hoping that he would tell me where to reach my father.
"Well Bruce has been out for a few weeks but should be returning in the next few days, why don't you come here and wait for him. Where are you living anyway?" Tony inquired.
"Im from Kansas City, I don't think I can afford a trip to New York Mr. Stark." I said starting to feel bummed again.
"Don't worry about money Miss Banner, I will send my private jet to come pick you up and we can get you a room at Stark Towers. I can tell by your urgency that this is serious."
"Thank you Mr. Stark! I don't know how I will ever repay you!"
"Please don't worry about that right now, Miss Potts is on her way from Malibu to here so I will have the jet make a stop to pick you up. Shall I have her call you on this number when they arrive?" Tony asked.
"Yes please. Thank you again Mr. Stark."
"Please call me Tony." He said as he hung up the phone.
About an hour and a phone call to my grandparents telling them what is going on I received a phone call from a very nice women saying that the plane had arrive at the airport and I was to meet them outside of terminal 22B. I quickly finished packing my stuff, pulled my long brown hair into a messy bun, and grabbed the keys to my car as I made my way out the door. I made it to the airport in record time and followed all of the signs pointing me my way. I made it to terminal 22B to see a pretty red head standing with another man.
"Miss Potts?" I questioned looking at the woman.
"Oh please call me Pepper. You must be Kelsy, pleasure to meet you." The woman said extending her hand to me. I quickly shook it and said it was a pleasure to meet her also. The man standing next to Pepper grabbed my bags from me and told me that we could now board the plane.
As we boarded the plane I felt myself relax for the first time since I received the diagnosis. I was finally on a path that may save me. Even if Bruce isn't a match there are still different doctors in New York that may have another way to save my life. I sat in a seat next to Pepper as the captain told us to get ready for take-off.
"So Tony told me that you are Bruce's daughter and that you were very persistent to see him. Is something going on?" The woman asked.
"Yes, I am Bruce's daughter, although I have only met him a few times. My mother decided that she didn't want me anymore when I turned 5 and shipped me off to my grandparents here in Kansas. I don't think that she told Bruce. She was kind of a floozy like that. And yes, there is something going on. I have leukemia and am in need of a bone marrow transplant. My grandparents aren't a match so I thought that maybe Bruce would be." I told Pepper this hoping she wouldn't pity me. I hate when people did that.
"What about your mother? Would she be a match?" Pepper asked.
"We wouldn't know. She died of a drug overdose about 3 years ago." I told her. "Bruce is really my only hope right now."
"Well even if he isn't a match Bruce is a really smart man, we will figure something out." Pepper said grabbing my hand and giving it a squeeze. "Why don't you try to get some rest, we should arrive in New York in a few hours. I will wake you when we get there."
"Oh that's not necessary." I said as I let out a yawn. Pepper gave me a stern motherly look so I nodded sheepishly and lowered the backrest of my chair closing my eyes.
As Pepper promised she woke me right as we were approaching New York. I looked out the window to my right and marveled at the city. It was dark out so I could see all of the twinkling lights of the city that never sleeps.
"First time to New York?" Pepper asked. All I could do was nod my head. This place was amazing. We landed smoothly and got off the plane. When I went to grab my bags the man from the airport shook his head and told me he had it handled. It was weird having someone do things for me. Pepper showed me the way to a car that was waiting on the tarmac for us. As we approached the car the door opened and out came Tony Stark. He quickly gave Pepper a kiss then turned to me. "Miss Banner, it is nice to meet you. I can definitely see the resemblance to Brucey, although you are a lot easier on the eyes." He said winking. I stifled a giggle.
"Mr. Stark, I want to thank you again for doing this." I said shaking his hand.
"I told you to call me Tony. Mr. Stark was my father." He said grimacing. He ushered us into the car and we took off toward Stark Towers. On the car ride there I told him the same story I told Pepper. As I finished he told me that I would be taken care of here. That he knew plenty of doctors that would help me out.
We pulled up to Stark Towers and I couldn't help it as my jaw hit the floor. This place was amazing. "You live here?" I asked in amazement.
"Yes, as well as Miss Potts, your father, and the rest of the avengers. Although, Thor is back on Asgard at the moment. Let's give her a tour then we can introduce her to the crew that's here." Tony said as we walked into the building and straight to an elevator. "Floors 1-25 are for business, floor 26 is the gym, 27 is my lab, and 28 and up are residential. Pepper and I are on the top floor. There is a small kitchen on each floor but the main kitchen/dinning area are on the 30th floor."
As we got in the elevator Tony hit floor 36. "There isn't an extra room on your fathers floor so we put you on 36 with Steve." He said as the elevator stopped and we exited on the 36th floor. "If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask."
Tony showed me to my room which was bigger than the house I lived in, in Kansas. I had a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a huge Jacuzzi tub that could probably fit 3 people comfortably.
"JARVIS, can you please tell the Avengers to meet me on 30." Tony said out loud. I was shocked to hear a disembodied voice say "Yes sir".
"What was that?" I asked Tony.
"Oh that's JARVIS, it stands for Just a Rather Very Intelligent System, I created him. If you ever need anything he can help you." Tony explained. "Now let's go introduce you to everyone."
Thank you for reading this, it will eventually be a Captain America/OC story. Thought I should get some background to it first. I hope you enjoyed it. Give me your feedback.
