So school starts Monday for me, and I've finally managed to get a few chapters in. I hope you all can forgive me for being such a horrible author :(

So first of all THANK YOU SO MUCH to my dear reviewers-

maxwell02:that's the general idea! :D

Lila Nightengale: I'm so sorry, I really haven't been updating at all :'( this is what happens to over-achieving AP honors kids -.- LOL

crooney83 : thank you! I will!

IvPayne : thank you so much! it gives me a lot of encouragement :)

magicstrikes : haha yes, bad Sherlock, now I also need to come up with a plausible explanation for it xD

Potix : thank you so much! I feel so honored that you like it! hahaha :D

to guest 'yay': thanks a lot! it really boosts my spirit!

Starship221bBagEnd : thank you! and I will :D

So I'm updating around half past midnight, so if there's anything you see that can be improved, grammar, plot/holes, spelling anything please let me know! I hope this isn't too awkward and OC.

CAN I JUST MAKE A BIG APOLOGY FOR HOW SHORT THIS CHAPTER IS? I couldn't find a better way to end it and make it longer without it being REALLY long (but i should start doing that; those are more interesting LOL just insert more page breaks! hahaha) but the next chapter will hopefully make up for it :)

Enjoy! Hopefully!


It was late in the afternoon, and Tony was fixing up JARVIS after a little mishap that involved wine getting into the machinery...taught him a lesson not to drink cocktail while trying to improve his machines. Of course he'd probably forget that pretty quickly once his faith in his handling of technology slowly came back full force.

Satisfied with his repairs, he leaned back, before thinking of something to test out to make sure he was back into a fully functioning shape.

This was not necessary however, as the phone rang, and JARVIS relayed the action flawlessly. In his process of observing how 100% well the phone call was being relayed, any delays in ringtone, any breaks, lapses, or pitch, he had to make sure everything was back and running smooth. The pitch was wrong however. Then the caller started leaving a message. 'Yup the pitch was definitely wrong.' he thought 'Wait how would he know that? Who was the caller? Molly Hooper? I know a Molly Hooper. Why do I know a Molly Hooper...must have met her somewhere...did I sleep with her? Probably. But why would I?' ran through his brain within a second until "..Corpse Bride" 'OHHHH Corpse Bride! I remember her, no I didn't sleep her. Huh that's a new one. I wonder how she's been? It's been a while!' was the next thought.

And then 'She wants to come to America? Well isn't this perfect, I can give her the time of her life that she'll never want to return to those Asgardian sounding British tea-drinkers' "-if you have any suggestions" 'Suggestions? Boy have I got suggestions! Step 1-Come to Stark Tower. Step 2-PARTY. Good for her though, she deserves a really long vacation. Speaking of which why is she coming for a vacation now? Wasn't Mr. Cheekbones alive again? Shouldn't she be happy-and thus be spending more time there?' He was ready to dismiss the thought, but something about that just felt wrong, why would she suddenly be fleeing Britain the very day her hero came back to life?

Something wasn't right.

But then he is Tony Stark/Iron Man-genius, millionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and he was definitely going to get to the bottom of this.

So saying (or rather, thinking) he made a note to return her call tomorrow-preferably while she was at work, just to get into contact, meanwhile setting up her mind-blasting vacation to America.

"Pepper!" He called, "We have a new mission"


Did I make his whole thought process too OC? I'm a bit out of my depth with Tony here, so I'll watch all the Iron Man movies again tomorrow xD lol
