AN: Hi guys! I got 3 reviews on the first chapter of this story so I decided to continue. That's pretty good for my first story right? Anyway, here's the chapter! Sorry, it's kinda short.

DISCLAIMER: Anything you recognize I do not own.

"So you're positive he's in Afghanistan?" I asked Uncle Bruce. I just wanted to make sure they weren't going to walk into a trap.

"I'm positive, Ashlynn. Now stop worrying. Tony will be back soon, as arrogant as ever," he replied, shooting me a smile that I returned.

2 HOURS LATER

I anxiously bounced in my seat. I was excited that my dad was coming home. All of a sudden, I felt a hand on my knee. I looked up and was met with Clint's amused eyes. "Calm down, Ash. You're bouncing the whole table," he said with a chuckle. I immediately stopped bouncing and smiled at him and Uncle Bruce.

"Sorry," I said sheepishly, but still smiling. Just then, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and slid the arrow on the screen to take the call. "Hello?"

"Ashlynn! We found him! We're on our way back!" Natasha's joy-filled voice sounded through the phone.

"You found him? Is he alright? Are you guys alright? Where are you? How far away are you?" I fired off questions before realizing that I was asking waaay too many.

"Take a breath Ashlynn," Natasha said chuckling. "Yes we found him. He is perfectly fine, except for a few cuts and bruises. Nothing that won't heal. We are all perfectly fine, don't worry about us, sweetheart. We are almost there. Should be there in about ten to twenty minutes."

My grin was so big, I was sure it would fall off my face. I looked up at Uncle Bruce and Uncle Clint and they looked happy and relived. "Thank you, Tasha. May I speak with him?" I asked nervously, almost afraid of being turned down. I bit my lower lip as I waited for her answer.

"Sure, Ash. One sec," she said. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding as I heard the phone being passed to my dad.

"Ash?" my dad's voice spoke.

"Daddy!" I said with tears in my eyes. "You are a moron." That earned a laugh from my two uncles in the room.

"Love you too sweetheart," he said and I could hear the smile in his voice.

"I really love you dad. Don't ever scare me like that again." I said, a few tears escaping down my cheek.

"I love you too, baby. I have to go. We're almost there. See you in a little bit, sweetheart," my dad said.

"Okay. Bye," I said hanging up the phone. I leaned back in my chair and took my straight, dirty blonde hair out of its messy bun. I ran my fingers through it and decided to leave it down. I didn't notice it at first but more tears made their descent down my cheeks.

"Ash, c'mere," Uncle Clint said, standing next to Bruce. I walked over to them and enveloped both of my uncles in a tight hug.

"He's coming home," I said into Uncle Clint's shirt.

"I'm going to go find Fury. You guys can come whenever. I'll text you when we see the quinnjet," Uncle Bruce said smiling. Clint nodded and I pulled back.

"Thank you," I said to Bruce, enveloping him in yet another hug.

"Your welcome, Ash. Those guys were stupid enough not to cover up the signal," he said smiling. "I'll let you know when they're here." He strode out of the room.

"When is Pepper coming home?" I asked Clint. I wondered if she even knew Tony was on his way back.

"Do you wanna call her?" He asked back. I don't really think he knew either.

"Okay," I said as I pulled out my phone and typed in her number. She answered on the second ring.

"Hello?" I could tell she had been crying.

"Pepper? Did you hear? They found him! He's on his way back right now!" I yelled excitedly into the phone.

"What? They-how?" She stuttered. I laughed.

"I got an anonymous text and the moron was too stupid to cover up the signal so Uncle Bruce tracked it. He also picked up energy from Dad's ARC reactor right around where the cell signal was," I explained. "By the way, when are you coming back?"

"That's great! And I'm on my way right now. I'm getting on the jet as we speak," Pepper said. I fist pumped the air and I heard Clint chuckle. I turned around and stuck my tongue out at him. That earned a full blown laughing fit from him. I grinned.

"Okay, Pep," I said. I felt my phone vibrate and I quickly glanced at the screen before putting it back up to my ear. "I gotta go, Pep. Dad just landed!"

"Okay bye sweetheart! Tell him I'm on my way!" Pepper said happily.

"Will do! Bye!" I said as hung up. I looked at Clint and said, " Lets go!"

He laughed at me before we sprinted off to the landing area.

I turned the corner and I saw my dad getting off the quinnjet.

"Daddy!" I squealed and ran toward him. I enveloped him in a tight hug.

"Uh, Ash? Too tight," he chuckled.

"Sorry! Sorry!" I yelled and pulled back immediately.

"I didn't say you could pull back," he smiled and gathered me in his arms again. "I missed you, baby."

"I missed you too," I said, tears filling my eyes. "Pepper told me to tell you that she's on her way here."

"Where did she go?" my dad asked looking around. I pulled back from the hug.

"She took the jet to Malibu. Uncle Clint wanted to keep her safe because he said that whoever kidnapped you wasn't just going to stop there." I explained. Behind me, Uncle Clint nodded.

"So why didn't you go with her?" my dad asked, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Do you think she would have?" Natasha smiled from her place next to Uncle Clint. I saw that he had his arm around her waist. I raised my eyebrows and he just pulled her closer. I shook my head and heard my dad laughing behind me.

"Like father, like daughter," Uncle Bruce said laughing. I flashed him an over-exaggerated grin and he laughed even more.

"Alright guys. Sorry to end your little reunion, but Mr. Stark over here needs to go to medical to get looked over," Fury said coming up behind me. I jumped when I heard his voice. When the hell did he get there? He actually cracked a smile. He had a soft spot for me. "Come on, Stark. Ashlynn, stay with Natasha and the rest of the team. We'll come find you after." They walked out of the room, leaving me with Uncle Clint, Natasha, Uncle Bruce, Uncle Steve, and Uncle Thor.

"So, what do we do now?" I asked the group smiling. My dad was home and I was as happy as could be.
