A Beauty for the Beast

Chapter 2

As the sun shone through the blinds Marie pulled the blankets over her head. Wait a minute this wasn't her bed this was a king sized bed with a temprapedic mattress. Then she remembered everything that had happened the night before. Her mother had finally lost her battle with her disease and now Marie was living with her billionaire father who she knew next to nothing about. She slipped out of the giant bed to be greeted by a chill in the air and looked around the room. For a guest room it was pretty well furnished. It had a giant flat screen TV and a table with a bean bag chair next to it. The closet door itself was a giant mirror which Marie found herself staring into. Feeling a sore pain in her stomach muscles Marie slowly lifted up the high school gym shirt she slept in revealing a trail of black and blue bruises in the shape of a mans shoe.

"He said he wasn't going to do it again." She whispered to herself and changed into her old navy blue hoodie and some grunge style jeans. Not only did loose clothing hide her bruises but it was comfortable enough to not hurt her sore body. She opened the door to find Tony Stark sitting in front of the TV drinking a glass of what looked like heavy alcohol. He turned to face her" Hey mornin' kid you hungry I've got donuts." Marie raised an eyebrow, this was his idea of breakfast? Not that she was complaining as she cheekily snatched the bag of powered donuts from Tony's hands. "Hey!" he growled pouting like a twelve year old boy. Marie giggled and popped a powdered donut into her mouth. Tony glared at her" If you're done stuffing your face you gotta come with me on an errand."

Marie licked a bit of powered sugar from the corner of her mouth" What kind of errand?" Tony wasn't exactly sure how to explain that he was a super hero and that they were going to a government agency but than again how hard could it be to lie" Nowhere important but I don't trust you with all my stuff." She scoffed but held her tongue. She wasn't sure what might get her kicked out of Tony's place but she really didn't want to find out. So she just nodded and once again found herself in the seat of Tony's very expensive car.

She wasn't sure exactly where they were but she felt a feeling of uneasiness as she looked around at the large building full of people in suits and sunglasses buzzing around like bees with a purpose. Tony must of noticed her discomfort because he chuckled and holding out his arms announced" Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D Headquarters land of secrets now with ten percent less fun." As the structure being to shake and rise from the ground Marie clang tightly to Tony's forearm" what's going on!" She exclaimed looking up at him with terrified green eyes. Tony bit back the laughter at the scared look on the young woman's face" Relax kid it's suppose to do that, come on lets go inside" Marie released her death grip on Tony and walked inside a huge room full of computers where I man with an eye patch was giving orders. "Mr. Stark thank you for coming" He shook Tony's hand. Even though Tony shook back his expression was one of annoyance" Yea why would I want to be having awesome sex and drinking with my girl when I could be here cleaning up your messes director Fury."
