I was wrong in how long this story was continued for. I came up with some Ideas that I think would be awesome additions. So this chapter is the shortest I've written this far. Ah, well what are you going to do? So thanks for the reviews you guys are amazing~! It always great to hear what you guys think. This chapter is Twin-centric. Now on to Chapter 7. After the famous or infamous disclaimer.
DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN THE AVENGERS MARVEL DOES. I ONLY TAKE CREDIT FOR THE TWINS AND THE PLOT!
On Friday, after school, the twins began their planning of the exploration of the Stark mansion.
"How do we go about it?" Jamie asked in a hushed tone.
"Well I figure we do it at night. After everyone's vacated the main area." Sam said.
"Less of a chance of being caught then. But we have to be silent." Jamie pointed out.
Sam nodded her head. " We have to 'go to sleep' before everyone else." Sam used her fingers to for air quotation when she said go to bed.
"Easy enough. Most likely they'll check on us when the go to bed. Then once they do we wait about an hour and a half then look around." Jamie explained.
" We have to have it organized though. So we aren't running around and wasting our time. We'll start at the bottom and work our way up." Said Sam.
"Alright." Jamie said.
Just then their ride came to get them. Sam and Jamie raced to get to the car. Sam beat Jamie easily, climbing into the front seat she gave a greeting to their driver.
The car ride to the mansion was quite. Sam was listening to her Ipod watching out of the window as the buildings passed by. Jamie on the other hand was working on his homework.
The arrived at the mansion in good time thanks to the lack of traffic, it turns out their time was so good that they beat everyone else. Sam and Jamie got out of the car, hoisting their bags over their shoulders and began to walk up to the door. They didn't need to worry about keys the door is opened and locked with a key code.
"You two going to be fine without someone here?" The driver called after them.
Sam and Jamie shared a look. They were going to be using this extra time to get more exploring done and the didn't need someone breathing down their necks.
"We'll be fine." Sam said as she turns around with a smile. " I'm sure someone will be here soon enough so we won't be alone for to long."
"If you're sure." The driver said as he rolled the window up.
Sam turned around and entered the key code in, which as it happens is their fathers birth date.
"Well isn't this a stroke of luck?" Jamie said with a laugh.
"Its almost like someone wants us to find out more." Sam said.
The twins dropped off their bags in the rooms that they would be staying in. They met in the living room.
"Well that's the way to the forbidden basement." Sam said. Their mother had told them many times that they weren't to even go on the steps that led to the basement.
"Yep. Ready to break some rules, sis?" Jamie asked.
"As always." She began walking down the steps.
Jamie followed behind her, the steps seemed to go on for quite awhile, but it wasn't that long of a descent it only seemed like that due to the curvature of the stairwell.
The reached the bottom of the steps and it was a complete shock to them. It was an engineers dream office. Tools laying out, old car parts left alone as if the person working on them had just gone to bed and would begin working on them in the morning, and there was an entire table dedicated to what the twins figured were plans for something.
Jamie walked to the door and tried to open it. But instead of it sliding open a keypad appeared with a large red error flashing. He reeled back a few feet after what came next.
"Young sir, you should know that the doors here are all locked with a key code." Said a voice.
"Who are you and where are you speaking from?" Sam asked, after her initial surprise wore off.
"Young Madame, I am not a who but a what. As an answer to the question I am JARVIS and I run the house.
"The house is run by a computer program?" Jamie whispered.
"Evidently." Sam answered. " So when were you installed?"
"I was created when Master Stark was still alive." JARVIS answered
"I'm going to be safe in assuming that there are different codes for the different areas of the house?" Jamie asked finally regained composure enough to talk to JARVIS.
"No young master only this area has different codes." JARVIS answered.
Sam had moved to the keypad to examine it. "Difficult to hack, put not impossible." She mumbled to herself.
"Are you sure you want to try and hack something out dad designed?" Jamie asked worriedly
"Well if you don't want any answers then I'll gladly walk back upstairs." Sam gave him a look of pure disbelief as her brother seemed to lack in courage.
"No I want answers, I just think maybe there might be a spare code laying around." He said feebly under his sister's gaze.
"Oh yes, because everyone would leave a code laying around somewhere, especially if it was a code to the lab that has all their future plans and expensive car parts." Sam said sarcastically.
"It was a thought." Jamie mumbled.
"I do not think it wise for you to go into the lab of Mister Stark." JARVIS suggested. " It is impolite."
Sam sighed. " JARVIS, we're" She gestured to herself and her brother. " Tony Stark's heirs."
JARVIS remained silent as if processing this information. He was most likely running over birth certificates to verify their statement and claim.
A moment later the door slid open. The twins shared a cautious looks. Sam shrugged and walked into the workshop. Jamie followed behind her.
"Whoa. Look at this place!" Sam said excitedly.
"Yeah this is amazing!" Jamie agreed.
The twins split up looking a different parts of the workshop. Jamie was examining the plans. Sam on the other hand had walked to the very back wall which was strangely blank. She knocked on the wall. It sounded hollow she knocked on a different part of the wall it sounded normal. She raised an eyebrow.
"JARVIS is there something behind this wall?" She asked quietly.
"Yes, young madam. Would you like me to open it up for you to see?"
"Yes please." Sam said with uncertainty and intrigue.
Moments later the wall slid upwards revealing four suits of armor.
Sam gasped. "My god. Jamie! Come over here!" She yelled at her brother.
"What I was reading-" He suddenly was quite with shock as he saw the suits. "Are those…?"
"Yeah." Sam was still dumbfounded. "JARVIS pull up the plans for the IronMan armor."
Sam walked to the center of the shop where there was a mass of computer monitors. As she arrived the plans where pulled up. She looked at them with her head turned to her side. "Pull up the most recent version of the suit." She ordered.
"Why?" Jamie asked joining his sister.
"I want to see something."
As soon as the words left her mouth the screen flashed up the plans for the Mark VII. Sam and Jaime scanned the plans neither knowing what it is they were searching for.
After minutes of reading, rereading, digital files, and CGI's Jamie was lost on what the importance of this suit was even if it was the last IronMan suit that was ever made.
"Okay please tell me what's up with the sudden research!" Jamie said.
"If you must know, I am curious as to how this suit as good as it was designed ran out of power as quick as it did and why it was draining energy from the mini arc reactor." Sam said facing her brother.
"Ah. What for?" Jamie asked somewhat caught up to speed.
"To see if there was anyway that our dad could've survived." Sam said attention returning to the screen.
Jamie's eyes widened, he never thought that their father's death could've been avoided. "And?"
"The answer is yes it could've." Sam said sadly.
"How?" Jamie asked awestruck as to how his sister figured this out.
"By cutting off the suit's power the moment he hit the ground. Sure the thing would've weighted a ton and suck to mess with, without the suit remover. But had someone thought of that then we would've still had a dad." Sam explained.
Jamie looked at the ground. Something so simple was something that no one thought of doing. "How can you turn off a suit that if need be could run itself?"
"The emergency power button." Sam said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "He had it in a place that it would've had to be deliberately pushed in to turn off the suit. I assume his thoughts on having the button was incase there were super geniuses that were able to hack and control the suit. So the button was to protect the people of wherever he happened to be."
"Ah." Jamie nodded.
"He would've had to tell the team though. He must've thought that this fight would have no risk of his suit malfunctioning. So he kept it quite. But also he must've been so out of it in his final moments he forgot about the button." Sam continued.
Jamie looked at his sister. He was amazed at how she thought of this.
"The suit was trying to save him by killing him?" Jamie guessed.
"Yeah. It was always somehow tapped into the arc reactor for power but it was a limited amount but once the suit was in reserve power it opened the connection even more." Sam theorized.
"Making it seem like the arc reactor was broken." Jamie said.
The twins had been so caught up in there discovery they hadn't heard the footsteps come down the stairs and into the workshop.
"Clever for your age. Aren't you?"
Cliffy! Sorry about that, but I need some sort of lead off. So I leave you with this thought… Whose the voice?
