A/N- I decided to upload the next chapter today because the first one was so short and didn't really get into much. The real action isn't going to start until chapter four or five because I want everyone to be able to get to know Ingrid considering she is a new character. So, without further ado, here's chapter two!
Ingrid was wrapped in a cocoon of furry blankets underneath her goose feather comforter. She remembered asking the sales lady five times if any geese were harmed in the making of it. She wouldn't be able to bring herself to buy if it so. Luckily the worker answered with a firm no each time. The last time she was in bed like this was when her ex boyfriend, Zach, broke up with her. All she wanted then was for her dad to hug her and tell her everything would be ok, but now all Ingrid wanted was for him to stay away. He was practically a stranger to her now.
"Grid? Can I come in?" Ingrid tried to say no and express her anger towards her father but she just couldn't. Even though she was mad it didn't mean that she didn't love him.
Ingrid sighed, "Yes." She then proceeded to bury herself deeper under the blankets.
"I know you're really mad and I know you're really confused but before you go full on guilt trip on me I'm going to do my best to explain what I can, Ok?
Ingrid stuck a thumbs up out from under the blankets, telling him to proceed.
"Ok, so. Our last names are not Strike, it's Stark. I chose Strike because I thought it sounded cool. I work for S.H.I.E.L.D. and protect the world against threats like aliens and the reason why I don't let you watch TV is that I don't want you to see me in action on the news. I am a billionaire because I used to be CEO of Stark Industries which your grandfather founded, it makes weapons for the military and the reason why I work for S.H.I.E.L.D. Is that I developed a suit of armour that does cool stuff and saves people's lives and explodes stuff, the public calls me Iron Man. The People you heard on the phone were Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, and Bruce Banner, but more commonly known as Captain America, Black Widow, and the Hulk. There is more of us, like Clint who is known as Hawkeye and Thor who is, well, Thor. There is more that you should know and trust me, you will but we don't have time right now, I kept you here so you'd stay out of the lime light as a kid and after I became Iron Man I made a lot of enemies so it became for your safety but now it's time that you come with me to New York now that you know all this."
Ingrid threw the blankets off her head, "Are you expecting me to just except all this? I just found out that my entire life is a lie and that my father is a billionaire who fights off evil aliens while wearing a metal suit for his job! You want me to just pack up all my stuff and move to New York?
"Pretty much."
Ingrid waited a few moments and poked her out from under the covers once again, "Well, ok then." She climbed out of bed and walked to her closet so she could box up her clothes. She knew that there was no point in fight with her dad. Plus, she had to admit, living with a bunch of Superheroes in New York did sound a little bit cool.
Ingrid and Tony were standing in the backyard of their house, surrounded by boxes that they had rushed to pack up. Ingrid looked at her father, he seemed to be waiting for something.
"So is there a moving truck coming or something?" Ingrid asked her father.
"Not exactly. You see, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to meet you and he decided that their was no better way to do it then to bring a giant ass helicopter into the backyard of a house in a small town to help them move to New York." Tony said sarcastically.
Before she had time to respond, Ingrid's breath was taken away when she saw a helicopter zooming through the sky, if it could even be called that! The thing was massive!
"That's the a helipad, The real one is at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. It's basically a floating hotel with room for a few planes." Tony shouted. The noise from the propellers was deafening.
Eventually it made a landing in the large field behind Ingrid and Tony's home. Ingrid stared, dumbstruck at the "small" helipad looked ginormous! Ingrid and Tony watched a man in all black get off of the thing and walk towards them. As he got closer she noticed that an eyepatch covered his right eye.
"Mr. Stark… Miss Stark…" The man dressed in black shook both their hands and lead them back to the helipad.
"Umm… Who are you exactly?" Asked Ingrid. Her father was obviously well acquainted with him she had no clue who the man was.
"I'm director Nick Fury, head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I work with your father." Fury replied in a commanding voice.
Fury turned to Tony and started asking him thousands of questions. He looked angry. Probably because he didn't know everything about the man who had pretty high security clearance.
The helipad moved fast despite it's size and it reached New York in what felt like no time at all. Ingrid expected that Fury would come with them but he dropped them off and left. He said that their was "urgent business" for him to take care of in the capital.
Tony's driver picked up the father and daughter and dropped them off at the Stark Tower.
"Woah. This belongs to you?" Gasped Ingrid as she stepped out of the car and gazed at the giant skyscraper before her.
"Well it's got my name on it." Ingrid shot her father a sly grin as he said that,
"Our name on." She corrected him. He half smiled back.
Tony held the door open and welcomed his daughter inside. He then lead his daughter over to a private elevator which had a screen beside it that scanned his finger print. The doors slid open and the two stepped inside the elevator. That's when everything finally caught up with Ingrid and she realized what was going on.
"Holy shit!" Ingrid stumbled back and leaned against one of the walls on the fast moving elevator, "This is actually happening."
"I knew you were acting too calmly earlier." Groaned Tony, head in his hands.
A/N- Ok! So there's chapter two! I'll probably post a chapter twice a week and I'm still in the process of writing to story so reviews of what you want to see happen would be great!
