It's a new day in the Stark household. The sun was just above the horizon letting in the morning light. It's been almost two weeks since I moved in here, and I'm loving this place more and more with each passing hour.

"Good morning Miss. Russell," JARVIS said.

"Mmm, morning JARVIS," I said, stretching and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "What's Tony up to?"

"He's waiting for you to come down to his lab."

"Really? Let him know I'm up and gonna be down there soon," with that I got up and changed into one of my new jeans and a t-shirt. I ran down to Tony's lab and unlocked the door running, excited to see what he will teach me. For the past couple of days Tony has been showing me his Arc Reactor technology. He told me why he has the one in his chest. And that it was his own weapon that caused it. Tony also told me about how Iron Man was started. All that he did in that cave in Afghanistan can change things that we do today. He told me that he has a tower in New York running on the Arc Reactor. If most major companies used that for energy, then the world would be a lot cleaner.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked.

"At them moment, you're going to go and eat your breakfast, missy, then I'll tell you what we are doing," he said not looking up from his work.

"Ugh, fine," I'll be back. I went upstairs to the kitchen and opened the fridge grabbing a yogurt. I grabbed a spoon and ran back down stairs.

"Back so soon?" Tony asked, not looking up from his work again.

"Yeah, just grabbed something small," I hopped on the couch he had and started eating. Once I finished, I put the cup down and grabbed the Iron Man helmet that was on the coffee table. I looked at it from all angles and there was a blue light on the edges making it expand. I shrugged wondering what harm would come if I tried it on for just a second. So I put it on and once I heard it close there was a display of the room with different gadgets on the side of the screen.

"Do you like it?" I heard Tony ask. His voice sounded different in here, more synthesized.

"This is...amazing," I was awestruck. Never have I dreamed of wearing Iron Man's helmet let alone live with him. Tony did some sort of motion and something flew over and landed on my right arm. Once it was on I realized it was an Iron Man hand. I moved my fingers around and faced the palm up showing the repulsor.

"Ooo, be careful where you point that," he said with a look of worry in his eyes.

"I know how it works, don't worry," I kept on moving my fingers around watching how easily they could move without any pain.

"How did you make the hand come on me?"

"I have micro sensor chips in my arms," he said.

"Ouch, wouldn't that hurt to have those put in?" I asked making a face he couldn't see.

"Mr. Stark complained about them when he was injecting himself," JARVIS said I laughed and Tony gave a glare. Apparently JARVIS was linked to the suit, and it makes sense considering all of the things I saw before my eyes. There were different weapons available to use, it can be used as a phone, connected to S.H.I.E.L.D., and all this I got from just looking at the icons on the side. Suddenly I heard this beeping along with a light flashing and a face appeared in the corner of the display.

"Stark, we need to-" Fury said. "You're not Stark."

"Thanks for stating the obvious," I replied.

"Get me Stark."

"Woah, woah, woah, Fury that's Janis, remember, and whatever you want the answer's no," with that the man disappeared. Tony must have turned the video call off from his desk.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"That was Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. you remember him from a couple days ago, right? Well, sometimes he needs Iron Man to come in on a mission and I normally go, but not today. Today its just goin-" he got interrupted by Shoot to Thrill. It was another call from Nick, but soon the call went away and I assumed Tony had something to do with it. But I didn't really care. Tony did another motion with his hands and pieces of metal started flying to him. Even the armored hand I had flew toward him, pulling me off of the couch The helmet came off as well. Soon, there was a fully armored Tony standing in the middle of the lab.

"That was pretty cool," I said walking around and taking a better look at the armor. I could hear the armor powering up and then Tony started hovering around the room. I had to bite my lip to hold back a smile. "This is literally the coolest thing I have ever seen."

"Glad you like it, want a ride?" he asked. His voice sounded so synthesized through the helmet. I jumped up and down like a little kid waiting to get candy. When I was in mid-jump, Tony flew over caught me and flew out of the lab. A big smile started to creep on my face, but it was hard to keep it there considering the fact that I was scared out of my mind too. My hair was blowing in my face, making harder to see. Soon, he stopped and I looked down, seeing the ocean beneath us. It was nerve wrecking to see how high we were. I tried to let go of one hand to move my hair out of my face, being slow and cautious about my movements.

"Jan, you don't have to worry, I've got you. You won't fall." Tony's comforting words eased my mind a little bit, but I was still nervous about how high we were. I finally got my messy hair tamed and I could finally look around. To my right was the house, which I never realised how much it was hanging over the cliff. To my left was an endless ocean.

"This is really great. Thanks for taking me up here," I said smiling.

"Anything for you Jan," I could hear the smile in his voice even through the synthesizing speakers in the helmet.

"Can we fly some more?" I asked not being able to contain my excitement.

"Sure, hang on," his grip on me got tighter and I clung to him again. He took off, flying close to the cliff and I turned to see where we were heading. Soon I began to loosen my grip; we were going slow enough that I could do that. I let go all the way and leaned back stretching my arms out. Tony moved me so I was underneath him facing the water. I bent my arms back and out, flying like Peter Pan.

Tony got close to the water, so I reached a hand down and ran it through the ocean, making a wave go out. I laughed thinking about how incredible this is and how lucky Tony was. We flew back up and circled around to the house, landing on the roof. He set me down and I went to the edge, sat down, and let my feet hang over. Tony came and struggled to sit down next to me. He took off his helmet and put it between us.

I picked it up and put it on, then I put my hands on my hips and with a mocking voice I said, "I am Iron Man." Tony and I both laughed and I rested my elbows on my knees looking around as the helmet scanned everything. But I was leaning too far forward and started to fall off of the edge. I turned around to grab it but my grip wasn't tight and I started slipping. I felt a metal hand grab me and pulled me back up.

"Don't worry, I've got you," once Tony said that I grabbed him and hugged him, breathing heavily in his chest. He took the helmet off of me and set me on his lap comforting me. We sat there for a few minutes just staring out into the open.

"How about we go back inside, yeah?" With that he gave me his helmet and I hugged it as he picked me up cradling me as he flew back inside.

Once we were inside I saw Pepper standing in the middle of the lab hold papers in her hand.

"What were you guys doing?" Pepper asked.

"Jan wanted to have a ride, so I gave her one," Tony said.

"Flying around was amazing," I said leaving the small detail of nearly falling off of the roof out

"Tony!" Pepper hit him in the shoulder. "She could've gotten hurt again."

Tony cupped her head in his hands, "But she didn't. She's not going to get hurt when she lives with Iron Man." He smirked and I quietly made my way up to my room so I could get some time to calm down from flying around. Once I got to my room, I grabbed a blanket that was in the closet and hopped on the couch turning on the TV.

"Any good shows that the Stark's watch JARVIS?" I asked flipping through the channels.

"The Stark's normally watch the news," JARVIS replied.

"I wonder why," I said dryly. " Where are the movie channels? Maybe there's something good on there." The channels changed and I scrolled through, finding a movie.

A few hours later I woke up to the end credits of some movie and JARVIS calling out my name.

"Ugh, what do you want," I said groggily rolling over and shoving my head in the pillow.

"Mrs. Stark has requested that I remind you to try on the clothing she has purchased for you. They can be retrieved in the living room," JARVIS explained, I honestly didn't want to get up, but 'tis life. I straightened up my clothes and went downstairs. When I got there Pepper was on her laptop typing away.

"Hey, Jan," she greeted without look up from her work. "Have some more clothes for you. Most of them are skinny jeans and sweatshirts, like you wanted, but I also got some more professional clothes, in case you go to a press conference with us, like the one coming up Friday."

"Oh, ok. You did all this in 2 hours?" I asked.

"You learn to do things fast when you live with your fa- I mean Tony."

"What's with the snow gear? Its not like we have three feet of snow on the ground," I did a weak laugh and Pepper looked up.

"Oh, Tony wanted me to get that, I'm not sure why but he said he had something planned later today with you two and Rhodey."

"What about you? Don't you want to come along as well?"

"Oh, I have too much stuff to do. And besides, I'm not really into what the boys do." She got up and walked over putting a hand on my shoulder, "As long as they're ok, I won't worry. You'll keep an eye on them right?" Pepper asked walking down to Tony's lab.

"Yeah, I will. Don't worry, they'll be safe with me." I grabbed the bags full of clothes and made my way back up to my room to try it on. I tried a skirt and blouse on to see how it would look and it looked amazing. Pepper has a really good sense of style I thought. I changed back into my other clothes and looked at the few pairs of shoes she had bought. There was a pair of black wedges and black combat boots. I asked her to get the boots. I finally went to the biggest bag which had all the snow gear.

"Jan," Tony called over the intercom.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Put on your snow gear, we're going to be leaving once Rhodey get's here."

"Ok, be down in a few."

I picked up the coat and held it up. It was blue and had a Stark Industries logo on the left side of the coat. The pants were just plain black. The snow boots were black as well. I put the snow pants on and then tied up my boots, grabbing the hat that was in the bag and put it on. Then I grabbed the coat and gloves and made my way downstairs. Tony was zipping up his jacket when I got to the living room.

"You ready?" he asked.

"Sure, as long as you tell me where we're going," I smiled at him.

"We're going somewhere where it has snow," I rolled my eyes at him.

"No dip, Sherlock. But, seriously, where are we going?"

"You'll see." Right when Tony finished his sentence Coulson came walking in a hurry over to us.

"Mr. Stark, I don't approve of you going out like this. You should be monitored at all costs so that what happened at the airport doesn't happen again," he said sounding out of breath.

"Don't worry Coulson, we'll be fine. The place where we are going is in the middle of no where," Tony stated.

"That's the problem sir, how close will guards be? What if something happens to all of you and none of us find out until days later," Coulson continued.

"Coulson, we'll be alright," Tony said trying to comfort the agent. It didn't seem to work. "We have you don't we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Coulson, you can come too if you're that worried about us," I could see Coulson relax a little bit after Tony said that.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Nana, now is the copter ready?" he asked as Rhodey was walking in.

"Ready when you are," Rhodey said.

"I'll grab my things and meet you outside," Coulson said walking away.

"Can we go out, please. I'm roasting," I begged.

"Sure. Rhodey, will you wait for Coulson?" Tony and I started making our way to the door.

"Oh, sure, I'd loved to Tony," Rhodey said crossing his arms and he started tapping his foot.

We walked out and over to the heli-pad with the waiting copter. The propellers were blowing everything around. I had to hold onto my hat so it wouldn't fly away as we got closer to it. Tony slid open the door and held out his hand to help me up. I tried to take a step but the snow pants didn't allow me to. I felt hands on my waist and got lifted up into the copter. Tony then followed behind me closing the door behind him. He handed me a pair of headphones. A few minutes later Rhodey and Coulson came out.

"Hey Phil," I said has he got in.

"Uh, his first name is Agent," Tony said correcting me. I saw Rhodey shake his head when he walked in and I just laughed.

"So are you going to tell me where we are going or not?" I asked Tony.

"You'll see when we get there." I leaned back on the seat frustrated that he wouldn't tell me.

After a while I finally dozed off and once I woke up the helicopter was landing in a snowy area. Rhodey was the first to get out, then Coulson and Tony. When I got to the edge Tony grabbed me and helped me down. Snowflakes started to land on me as I looked up into the grey sky. It started to get a little windy which made me cold. Well, colder.

"So, what next?" I asked walking over to Rhodey.

"Tony made these arrangements, I know as much as you do," he replied.

I looked over to Coulson to see if I could get some more info out of him. He just shrugged, "What he said."

"This way," Tony waved getting our attentions. We followed him for a quarter of a mile and then he stopped at a snow pile.

"Good job, you found California's smallest snow mound. Or maybe it's the largest," I teased. Tony reached down and grabbed a tarp pulling it up to show four snowmobiles.

"Ok, California's first all natural snowmobile," I smirked.

"Are you done?" Tony asked he sounded annoyed.

"Maybe."

"Yay, we have two Starks now," Coulson stated.

"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not," I said.

"Hey now," Tony said. "This is what I had mapped out," he pulled out something and then threw it on the ground. A hologram started to project out of it and it was a map with a red line in the middle of it.

"Its basically just a giant loop coming back here, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, the snowmobiles have a tracking system built in so we know where we are," Tony explained.

"This sounds like a mission, not a trip into the woods for the heck of it," I said.

"That's because it is," Rhodey said leaning close to me.

"Oh."

"Miss Russell-"

"Jan," I corrected Coulson.

"Jan, Mr. Stark wanted another pair of eyes to help us search the area," Coulson explained.

"Search the area for what?"

"Something that will get us closer to the guy who is trying to kill me," Tony said, "Now, are we going to go look or just stand around and talk about it?"

"One more quick question, why here in the middle of nowhere? No one would want to be here, not even a Yeti," I said making my way over to the snowmobile.

"My thoughts exactly but good ol' Jay found a heat signature similar to the one from the plane explosion. Do you need help starting your snowmobile?" Tony started to get off of his.

"No, no I'm fine. How hard can it be?" After I started it up I made my way to the front waiting for the others.

"There's first aid packs and other things for emergencies in the compartment under the seat," Tony said. The helmet had speakers in it so I could hear him clearly and not have to struggle over the sound of the motors. Tony took off and Rhodey was right next to him. Coulson and I were side by side behind them.

"So, Coulson, what exactly should I be looking for?" I asked.

"Something out of the ordinary," he replied.

"Well that helps," I mumbled. "Oh, why are you still with us? I thought the other agent was suppose to be with us last Friday?"

"Barton's mission is taking longer then anticipated," he replied.

It seemed like an hour had passed and we were getting close to the turn. Tony and Rhodey were further ahead of us because they started to race. I could see the colored shapes moving along the map.

"Careful, you're gonna run into something," I heard Coulson say.

"I know, I am," I looked up for a second from the map then looked down. I saw Tony's red circle make its way around the turn before Rhodey's green one. I looked up again to make sure I wasn't going to run into something, but as I did that an explosion on my left sent me and my snowmobile flying. I rolled down a few feet then noticed that the snowmobile was sliding down toward me. I rushed to get up and move out of the way. I barely made it. The snowmobile skidded to a stop a few feet past where I just was. Then I heard gun shots a few yards away and footsteps coming closer to me. I hid behind the snowmobile. The footsteps were getting louder as they got closer. Slowly I looked over to my left to see where he was. I turned back not seeing anything. As I did so I heard a click to my right and found a gun pointed at me. I scrambled to get up crawling away.

The guy grabbed my foot pulling me closer. I used my other one to kick him in the jaw. He staggered back a bit giving me enough time to get up and run.

"Coulson," I yelled. It didn't take long for the guy to catch up to me. I was in snow pants and didn't have very long legs to carry me far.

I yelled for Coulson again and got a response. At first it took me a minute to see him running towards me.

"Get down," he said. I dropped down on my stomach and saw him firing behind me. He lowered his gun and then bent down to my level giving me a hug. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken up," I stated.

"Come on, we need to go look at what they were hiding." I started walking over to where the explosion first came from until I was stopped by a tug at my hood.

"You're not going anywhere, we need to get you to safety," Coulson said.

"Oh, come on Phil, I know you want to go look too," I pleaded.

"I do, but I can't afford to have you get hurt, Tony would kill me."

"Ugh, fine. I hope the Barton guy is more fun than you," I teased.

"Watch it," I could see a small smile dance on his lips.

"Is that a smile I see on the big bad Agent Coulson," I poked at him smiling.

"I am human you know," he stated.

"I'm not so sure about that. How 'bout a race to see?"

"You're on," with that he took off running. I caught up, I sticking close to him, following him most of the way because I couldn't remember the path for the life of me. We couldn't use the tracks from the snowmobiles because they were mostly covered by new snow. Staying close to Coulson was a challenge because of how slow he ran.

"You're a secret agent, aren't you suppose to be a fast runner?" I asked.

"Ha ha, very funny," he said between breaths, "being an agent is more about combat skills then sprinting."

"I see," as I said that I saw the helicopter coming into view. I picked up my pace leaving Coulson behind. When I finally got there I collapsed onto my hands and knees taking deep breaths as Coulson ran up to me.

"Took you long enough," I said smiling.

"I think I saw the others coming," he said between breaths. I stood up looking around and soon I could hear the engines getting louder.

A few minutes later they arrived and Tony quickly got off and ran toward me. He pulled me in close then grabbed my head looking around my face, "Are you ok? Did you get hurt?"

"I'm fine," I pushed his hands off my face.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, come on before we find out if there are more guys coming to find us," I said getting into the copter. The others followed suit, and soon we were making our way back home.
