Gene was pacing back and forward in his room at his best friends house. She sighed and listened to his rant,
"Ten rings! Lea,don't you get it?" He panicked,
"I get it I get it! Yeassssh!" She sighed standing up, "Get over it. They won't help you now, you got power hungry and screwed up." She smiled during a coffee. Gene smiled, "No, wipe that look off your face!"
"You don't even know what I'm going to say!" He said defensively,
"Gene..."
"Okay maybe you do but please! Lea come on you know how long I searched for the rings..."
"You used Stark for the first five, find the rest on your own." She said taking a swing,
"Don't you want to be friends with Iron Man?"
"No. I tolerate being friends with the Mandarin." She growled, then sighed, "I hate you sometimes Gene. If I wasn't your only friend, I'd walk out on you."
"Love you too, Lea." He laughed. Handing her papers, her eyes bulged,
"YOU ALREADY ENROLED ME!"
"I knew you'd say yes...bye."
"Gene! Get your Mandarin Ass back here now!"

Tony stumbled around his head the next day in school. Totally absent minded he didn't notice he walked into someone. Her books clattered to the ground but before he bent down to get them she had scooped them up,
"Sorry, I'm a bit out of it." Tony smiled, the girl smiled back. Her warm brown hair and icy blue eyes seemed to make her smile more enchanting. She wore smokey eye make-up, clearly complementing her blue, blue eyes. Her hair was in a short Bob, jaw line but shorter at the back. She had a thick full fringe that stopped just above her eyes. She wore blue boyfriend jeans, a plain black v-neck and a red and white letterman jacket. She had a scarf loosely around her neck, different shades of brown...very designer looking. She clutched her red polka dot file and smiled,
"No, It was my fault I was in a daze."
"I know what that's like." Tony laughed.
"Tony Stark isn't it?" The girl asked, Tony sighed and nodded, "Cool, I'm Lea. Lea Parker." She offered out her hand which Tony took and smiled, "I'm new."
"Oh well welcome to the tomorrow academy." He felt his pod buzz, "I'm sorry I have got to go." He started to run off,
"See you around, Tony."

Iron Man had to try and stop an AIM attack on blah blah blah. He didn't care, it wasn't about Pepper. Pepper was all he could think about. But Lea, she seemed to pop up in his mind a lot in the race over. MODOK, fantastic just the thing he was in the mood for. Someone else finding out about the hell hole that is the mind of Tony Stark. He sighed and got on with blasting goons to kingdom come until MODOK gained the upper hand. Iron Man fell to the ground with a bone shattering crunch, Tony winced making impact but his armour received most of the damage. He then heard a faint beeping. He looked at the wall he heard the noise coming from. It exploded in a ball of fire, emerging from that fire was a girl. She was tall, skin tight lilac one piece with green strips down the legs. Dark purple gloves that matched her dark purple boots. She wore a dark purple dress with a green shoulder on one side and the other side only showing the lilac one piece. She had a thick, dark brown bob with a full fridge that joined her camouflage mask. There were black and white holes for the eyes are two icy blue vertical strips. Clearly she was using some kind of eye manipulation to hide her identity. She had a belt contain bullets, ammo and mainly grenades. High grade too, military stuff,
"S'up Shell Head, need a hand?" She laughed. He knew that voice...
"Ha! You expect to defeat MODOK with silly war toys!" MODOK laughed...he did have a point. The masked girl Quickly somersaulted and landed on the MODOK head and shoved one of her grenades in his face. He laughed,
"Ok, be serious kid. What do you think that is going to do?" Iron Man asked. She was running and covering her ears. He put up shields just in case. The grenade went off, taking half the AIM building with it. Iron Man looked nervously at the wreckage,
"Hey, you OK?" He called, worried the girl was crushed. He heard laughing over his head.
"I'm fine shell head." She was lying on a beam above him. She jumped down and landed like a cat in front of him, brushing off dust, "What about you?" She added coyly.
"I-I-I'm fine." He cleared his throat, "I'm fine." She laughed and picked a bit of rubble of his armour,
"Sorry to scare you."
"You didn't. Sorry but who are you?" She smiled again and paced,
"I have several different names, some you know." She quickly jumped in front of him. Her fringe brushing his mask, "But you can call me Grenade." Iron Man held his breath and she ran for that hole she blew in the wall, "Sorry 'bout the mess. See you around shell head."
"See ya." He waved then sighed. "Wow."

"Mandarin, I meant no disrespect!" A servant coward. The mandarin raised an claw to strike him when,
"Yo, Orange boy. Simmer down, alright?" The mandarin sighed,
"Leave us." He ordered as the servant scurried away, "You have fun with Iron Man today, Grenade?" She smiled,
"Yes I did."
"And did Lea have fun with Tony Stark?"
"Yes," She pulled off her mask, "I did."

Pepper watched the news and saw the footage of this new hero fighting with Iron Man. She was glad, Tony could use all the help he could get. She was glad...until her door opened and someone new walked into her cell. She struggled against her restrains and gasped,
"You...you were helping Iron Man why are you...?" The girl laughed, it was clear it was Grenade.
"I happen to be Gene's best friend. He isn't the only one who can use Tony Stark. She laughed, "I think I have...an advantage on my friend."
"Don't even think about it." Pepper growled, knowing where her mind was going.
"Why not? I go to his school now, and he is cute isn't he?"
"He's with me."
"We'll see how loyal he is." She laughed again, "Oh and from what I gathered, he will eventually get bored of his...pet." She smiled slamming the concrete door.

I don't own Iron Man Armored adventured but I do own Grenade. She is an OC and my first OC so take it easy on her ;)
