Chapter 6: Test
"I want a blood test."
The words left his mouth in a rush. He couldn't think, couldn't see anything but those eerily familiar eyes looking at him from a stranger's face. Tanaka had to be lying. He couldn't be a father. This had to be some sort of elaborate ploy to get something from him. It just had to be.
"Of course Mr. Stark I would expect nothing less." Tanaka scoffed.
He snapped his eyes away from the girl to the older Japanese woman.
"Jarvis!" he snapped.
"Yes, sir?" the AI responded calmly.
"I need you to perform a paternity test on our young guest. Now." He refused to wait any longer than necessary to know the truth.
"Of course, Sir." A needle extended from the ceiling moving towards the girl. She tensed as the needle approached her looking ready to bolt. Tanaka calmed her with few words spoken in their native language. The girl eyed the older woman as if she were mad before unhappily raising her arm. Her vein pointing outward. Jarvis stopped the needle a bit away from the girl before commenting, "Don't worry Miss, it will only sting for a second." Gently he pierced the unflinching female with the needle taking the blood sample necessary to confirm the girl paternity.
The entire time Tony watched the process in silence his eyes never leaving the girl.
"I'll have the results within an hour, Sir." Jarvis informed him. He merely nodded. Distantly he heard Tanaka speaking again but he couldn't make out what she was saying.
