Alright, I was grounded for a little while, so this one will be nice and long! I also put a new video for SuperVengers, my OTP HunterHawk! It's with the most perfect song for the pairing, I Bet My Life! Now, onto my poor OC Kadin's life, plus bits from her past! Well, I just want you to know it took me forever to write this cause I started procrastinating on Tumblr. Since I don't truly like Mary Sues, Pepper, Happy, and Rhodey don't especially like Kadin. They… tolerate her.
It wasn't until I had started driving after Tony had immediately said, "Don't forget to buckle up.", and gotten the call on my phone that I realized that Tony loved me. No, not like that, like he was family. "Put the phone away while you're driving." I slowly put the phone down and blinked at him in surprise. "Keep your eyes on the road." I turned back to the road and stopped at the red light, before looking back over at him. "Tony, are you worried I'm going to kill you by crashing? Sweetheart, I'm one of the best drivers, even while multitasking, you're not going to die on my watch." Tony sighed and gave me a genuine look of openness. "No, Kady. I… I'm worried about you. How much sleep did you get last night?" I shrugged, then furrowed my eyebrows before giving Tony a look. "You're one to talk- Look at your sleeping habits!"
Tony gave a shrug, before turning away. I started to drive again as the light turned green and followed Tony's instructions to get to the Disney Concert Hall. When we got there and gave the valet guy the keys before starting towards where Obadiah was speaking to the press. "Hey Tony, remember me?" Some chick, probably a model, asked, and Tony didn't even look at her. "Sure don't." She gave me a glare when I followed Tony further. I flipped her off and turned to Tony and Obadiah. Oh. I missed Hef. "What's the world coming to when a guy has to crash his own party?" Tony asked jokingly, and Obadiah suddenly looked a tiny bit nervous and angry, especially when looking at me.
"Look at you. Hey, what a surprise!" Tony started to walk away, pulling me with him. "I'll see you inside." Obadiah called after us, "Hey listen, take it slow, alright? I think I got the board right where I want them." I glared at him while Tony answered, "You got it. Just cabin fever. I'll just be a minute." When we finally got inside, we went to the bar. "Give me a scotch, I'm starving. What do you want?" Tony asked me. "Uh, vodka and juice." I answered, not really paying attention. "Mr. Stark, Colonel Retter?" I looked over to see lovable Coulson, who did NOT die in Avengers, no matter how much Fury denied he was alive. He's a liar, I saw Agents of Shield!
"Agent Coulson." The man told us. I glance over. "The guy from the," I sucked in a mouthful of breath, "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. You know, if you made it an acronym it would say SHIELD, right? It would be so much easier." I swear I saw a sweat drop on his forehead like an anime person. "How did I not see that?" I chuckled lightly at him. "L-look, I know this is a trying time for you," I made sure to keep Tony's attention on Coulson and gave him a tiny slap on the arm every time his attention wandered. No. There will be NO Pepperony on my watch. Then I realized I didn't listen to a thing Coulson said. Damn it. "Alright, that sounds like a great time. Come on Kady, how about you and me dance?" I blew a piece of my hair away from my eyes and cocked an eyebrow at him. "This relationship is completely platonic. I don't want anything happening, got it?" Tony chuckled. "Hey, you're like my little sister. And I'm against incest." I gave him a blank look. "Oh. Cool." I said sarcastically, and he sighed before pulling me to the dance floor.
After a few moments of swaying to the low music he started, "You know, you never actually told me about your family." I froze a moment, then sighed. "Alright, I'll tell you, let's just… let's go outside for it." As we went out, and I realized I was becoming a Pepper stand-in, I thought about what I was going to say. Not all of it. No, I'll give him a watered down version. "So?" I sighed and leaned over the railing. "I was left in a dumpster by my real parents." I finally whispered, making sure to not look at Tony. "Those… people, they found me, became my parents. Never told me that they found me. They… conditioned me into the perfect warrior. Worked night and day, went on little missions for them. I was… they made sure my pain tolerance was very high so I never would say anything if I was getting 'interrogated'." Tony flinched at that, in the corner of my eye, but I didn't look at him.
"So, I found out that I wasn't even legally their child, never signed any papers or anything. Legally, I wasn't a human being. Legally, I wasn't real. So I didn't really matter. I… I yelled and screamed and ran when I found out. When I came back…" I shook a little as I realized I was getting to the worst part. The last time I cried. But I was not going to cry again. What that man took from me… "I forgot all my training when I found their bodies, just 17 years old, 13 years ago. Yes, I'm 30. Don't say anything about it, you're 40." I said, giving him a pointed look. He gave me a sad smile and motioned for me to continue. "Well… I was an idiot. I forgot to check and see if I was truly alone. They were murdered, there must have been someone who killed them! But I didn't- I forgot- and he- he was still there, and I- I didn't even notice! He came up from behind me- knocked me out, I woke up…" I stifled the tears threatening to spill and stopped, breathing deeply to pause them. Tony sighed and ran his hands through my hair that fell to the nape of my neck and whispered, "Hey, it's ok, you don't have to tell me anymore. I'll go get us some drinks, ok?" I nodded as I felt him leave. "Something strong, Tony…" I said hoarsely. "Course."
Then I realized he would leave me if I stayed on the roof. I stayed for a few minutes longer, just taking in the scenery, before walking out and going to where Tony was with Obadiah. I made sure to grab the drink before following, well, drinks, and I drank both of them fast. "Tony, who do you think locked you out?" I heard Obadiah say, and I glanced at where Christine was standing. "I was the one who filed the injunction on you. It was the only way I could protect you." I growled at him with my teeth bared as he walked away, and then stopped. No way. My canine teeth were sharper than normal. Wow.
Since I was nearly drunk off my ass, Tony drove us home and let me sleep in the couch he put in the lab, and I gladly did, even if I had a few nightmares because of the memories I told Tony. I only woke up when Tony started blasting the lab with his repulsors. "Jesus, Tony!" I cried, nearly falling off the couch. "Kady." Tony said seriously, and I looked up at him. "I need you to put the headpiece on. I'm going to Gulmira."
Let me just say, watching everything that happened was awesome. It felt like I was the hero! I even started jumping around like a crazy person, mimicking the moves of Tony. My favorite part was either when he used the tiny missiles to get just the bad guys, or when he ripped the guy from behind the brick wall and left them for the villagers. "He's all yours." I smiled lightly at that nodding. That was the right thing to do. You know what I just realized, watching Tony fly through the air in first person? The name Kady might not be as bad as I thought. The missile hit Tony and I winced in sympathy, sitting on the couch again. As Tony flew through the air, a phone rang.
I raised an eyebrow as Tony answered. "Hello?" Colonel Rhode's voice filtered through the headphones on my human ears. "Tony?" Tony answered almost immediately, asking a question he should have known the answer to since the guy's picture was on the screen. "Who's this?" I sighed and muted the noise and flipped the screen up as if they were sunglasses as their conversation continued, going up the stairs, to the freezer to get some ice cream. Don't get me wrong, I love Tony, and I love this movie, but I've seen the movie at least 5 times. I know what will happen and what has happened without me. When I turned it back on, Tony was on the underbelly of the jet and hissing for me. "Yeah Tony?"
"Where were you?! Why do you keep doing that, you make me worried!" I rolled my eyes. "Tony, you gotta tell Colonel Rhodes that it's you. If you don't, the military is going to keep shooting at you. Then you're going to die." I clanked the spoon to the lid of the ice cream carton and said nonchalantly, "That wouldn't go over well with the company." Tony glared at… the belly of the jet. Hey, I just realized, if I can see his picture in the corner, he can probably see mine when the headpiece is on. "Thanks for that, Kady." He said sarcastically. "Welcome!" I chirped as he started to call Rhodey. I decided that my services were unneeded so I went back to the kitchen, made sure to keep the sound on, and turned off the visual. I searched the cabinets for some things to put in my ice cream and sang, "I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you~! So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do! Yeah, you're worse than Nicotine~! Nicotine! Yeah you're worse than Nicotine~! Yeah~!" Then there was Tony's voice in my ear, making me blush extra red. "You know, the sound is still on, right? Nice voice, by the way." I blew hair out of my face and started to put the candy, whipped cream, and fruit in my French vanilla ice cream.
"Tony, stop it. You're probably running for your life at the moment, you need to pay attention." I heard him chuckle. "Flying, Kady. I'm flying." I rolled my eyes and started to eat my ice cream. "Hey, why don't you keep singing? I actually do like your voice." I chuckled and shrugged. "Fine Tony. For you." I searched my memory for a good song then nodded as I thought of a nice ant-folk song, and took one more spoonful of ice cream before flipping on the visual and starting to sing as he rushed to save the man with the broken parachute.
"They made a statue of us! And put it on a mountain top! Now tourists come and stare at us. Blow bubbles with their gum, take photographs for fun, for fun. They'll name a city after us. And later say it's all our fault!" Tony interjected at that point, breathing heavily. "What was their fault?" I closed my eyes and let my head hang low. "How am I supposed to know, Tony?! Just listen to the song or I'm going to stop singing!" Tony laughed and told Rhodey to tell the press that it was a training exercise gone wrong before starting toward the house. "He never ever saw it coming at all… He never ever saw it coming at all…. He never ever saw it coming at all… It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright… Hey, open wide here comes original sin! Hey, open wide here comes original sin! Vhvhvhm. Hey, open wide, here comes original sin~ it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright!" I stopped a moment, continuing to eat my ice cream as Tony got closer, staying silent for once.
"No one's got it all. No one's got it all. No one's got it a-a-ALL. Power to the people, we don't want it, we want pleasure! And the TV's try to rape us and I guess that they're succeeding. And we're going to these meetings but we're not doing any meeting. And we're trying to be faithful but we're cheating, cheating, cheating!" I stopped singing then, as Tony arrived in front of me. I took off the head piece and smiled at the still armored man. "If you weren't in that armor I would be handing you a spoon."
"Hey!" I now sat in the lab, still finishing off the ice cream as Tony tried to take off the armor. "It is a tight fit, sir." I chuckled. "That sounds so wrong." I commented, ignoring Tony's glare. "Sir, the more you struggle, the more this is going to hurt." Tony huffed as he flinched a little fro
m the robot arms reaching for the armor. "Be gentle. This is my first time." I started laughing again. "I designed this to come off so… hey… it really should come off." "What's going on here?" I jumped and whirled around, falling off the couch but still keeping the ice cream safe and not splattered across the lab floor. There was silence. "Let's face it. This is not the worst thing you've caught me doing." Tony finally said, as Pepper got closer. "Are those bullet holes?" She asked hoarsely, before giving me a glare. "Hey! What did I do?!" I asked incredulously.
I don't remember exactly what happened after, but I fell asleep in the lab again. I stayed asleep for a while until Tony 'gently' woke me up. And by gently, I mean blast Back in Black as loud as the speakers would allow. I don't think he'll do it again, because I automatically, still half asleep, lashed out. I had also said something that had got him regretting ever scaring me out of sleep, but he wouldn't tell me what.
"Hey, where's Pepper?" I asked. "She's at my office, getting information on what Obie did." He answered roughly, blankly, and I sighed. "Tony, is there anything I can do to help?" Tony turned to me, stared for a few moments, just watching me, then smiled. "Nah, it's alright. Actually, do you hear that?" I looked up the stairs. The phone was ringing. Oh no. "No, Tony, ignore it, just ignore it!" I cried, blocking his way up the stairs. I had an unfamiliar ache in my throat and I just wanted to scream and cry at the same time. "Kady, I have to grab the phone." He said, almost like a disapproving father, and pushed past me.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" I hissed, looking around the room, before rushing up the stairs. "Easy, easy…" I choked back whatever tears were threatening to spill and growled at Obadiah, ignoring Tony. Obadiah just gave a small laugh. "Ah. The beast. I've read the files on you. You date back to the 1940s. You don't look that old, do you?" I furrowed my eyebrows, and then heard it as I suddenly couldn't move. Aw, come on, he's using the paralyzing thing on me! "It's a shame the government didn't approve of this device. There's so many applications for causing short term paralysis." I watched as Obadiah went over to Tony and started to use the thing to rip Tony's arc reactor out. I closed my eyes and freely let myself cry for the first time in 13 years. That was it. I just cried until I couldn't hear. I cried until there was no tears left. "Too bad you involved Pepper into this." Obadiah said as he walked away. "I would have preferred that she lived."
Ok, told you, I'm almost done! Next chapter is the last chapter of Iron Man 1, then I'll be going to either Thor or Captain America! Please vote, cause if it's Thor, she's going way, way, way back to when Loki was a child in Jotunheim, where she'll meet Odin and nanny the 2 until Loki falls from earth, and then she'll end up in Captain America where she'll act as another person watching in the program like Peggy, Dr. Erskine, and the other Colonel. Review, follow, favorite! I'm also changing the name to Believe in Heroes. You can vote on which movies you want her to go in next on the poll on my profile.
