My Hero
Pairing: Tony Stark x Daughter!Reader
You crouched down in the dark, Stark Tower elevator terrified. Ultron's robots uncontrollably and relentlessly tried to break in to get to you. One was able to slightly separate the elevator doors. It leaked oil and guck onto the elevator floor as it entered. Its metal parts were sharp and rigid.
The robot made a grab for your face. You dodged and came away with a nasty scrape on the right side of your head. You frantically thrust a broken chair leg, the only weapon you had, into its control panel shutting it off immediately. It took all your teenage strength to shove the robot out of your confined space. The doors of the elevator immediately reclosed keeping all other robotic persons at bay…for now.
Using your hoodie sleeve, you tiredly rubbed dripping blood off of your face, which trailed from the top of your forehead to your chin in a single, thin river. You exhaustedly leaned against the wall, knowing it wouldn't take long for another robot to break through the doors.
You would die here.
You fell to the ground in hopelessness. This was not how you thought your summer vacation would go.

The big day was finally here! You heart thumped as you got off the plane and made your way to baggage claim.
You would finally see someone who you had longed to see for an uncountable number of months, your father, Tony Stark. No, you weren't the offspring of Pepper and Tony, though you wish you were. No, you were born long before Tony even met Pepper, when he was still in his instable days of alcohol and women. You were the product of his lustrous behavior. Your biological mother had no interest in keeping you. Tony had to fight hard to keep you from an abortion. Even before you were born he was saving your life.
As soon as you entered this world he scooped you up and brought you to his home, promising to be the best father he could. The two of you have had your ups and downs, but you've always had a very important and special relationship with each other, especially since you were so similar. You had inherited his unmistakable ingeniousness and sarcasm, two traits that you displayed with the utmost pride.
You rushed out the gate in excitement, expecting a huge welcome hug and millions of kisses from your hero, but instead saw no one. You looked around puzzled. Tony was nowhere to be found.
Did he forget? You wondered Did something happen? You immediately began to list all possible outcomes to riddle your way through this unexpected scenario. In your mind there had been no doubt that Tony would be there, at the terminal, waiting for you with extended arms. After all he had always been there, whenever you needed him, wherever you needed him.
You were broken out of your thoughts by the sound of your name being called. You turned in expectation, a huge smile on your lips. Out of the crowd came a familiar red-head with a dazzling smile on her face. You shouted her name in joy as you ran into Pepper's arms.
"I missed you!" you told her laughing as you left the embrace. She smiled and responded likewise. Ever since Tony had met Pepper, the responsible and dignified red-head had become a mother to you in everything but blood.
"Where's dad?" you asked expectantly looking around, half-expecting him to jump out from around somewhere to surprise you. However, Tony did not appear as you had hoped. Instead, Pepper gave you a sad smile.
"Maybe its best if I tell you when we reach the tower" she said.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Wait, so now… dad's in Sokovia?" you ask unbelievably. You were sitting on a comfortable couch and Pepper had just explained to you the whole Ultron fiasco. In response to your question, Pepper switched on the TV.
"Sokovia is now under the attack of thousands of, what seems to be, AI robots" said the reporter as a terrible fight was shown on screen "The city has been miraculously evacuated but the robots have not been stopped despite the Avengers' best efforts."
You felt your heart speed up as you saw Natasha being slammed to the ground by one of the robots. Steve wrestled another. You winced as he was hit over and over.
Then, you caught your breath as tears threatened to fall.
There he was.
Flying overhead, you could see the all too familiar red and gold blur. He endlessly attacked and was attacked, fighting tirelessly as if he was in some action movie. But this was no action movie. These were your friends, heck, more like your family.
The footage ended and the reporter went on to interminably list the threatening statistics of failure and death. You ignored the television as tears of fear silently fell down your face. Pepper came closer to you and hugged you to her chest, and as much as you were grateful for it, you couldn't help but wish it was your hero comforting you, safe and sound at home.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Give it up Ultron!" yelled Steve Rodgers to the robot sprawled on the ground "You've lost. You will never rule the world!"
"Ugghh! You Avengers!" roared Ultron enraged "You always get in the way! One day you will see, one day you will suffer, one day you will BURN!"
"Uh, yeah, could we speed things up" interjected a sarcastic voice, one belonging to Tony Stark "I got a daughter visiting for summer vacation and I would like it if I could go back home before summer ended."
"A daughter?" asked Ultron, suddenly interested.
"Yeah a daughter" said Tony "you know, female offspring? Child of a feminine sex? A not-boy kid?"
"I know what a daughter is!" yelled Ultron. He took a deep breath as if to calm himself. "So, is this daughter precious to you?" he asked with a devious smile.
"You don't know the half of it" said Natasha from behind Tony.
"She loves you?" pressed Ultron.
"I'm basically her hero" said Tony ever so humbly (note the sarcasm).
"Perfect, now you'll get a taste of your own medicine!" said Ultron smirking "I will go to your daughter and murder her before you even see her! You took away my chance of ruling the world, now I will take what is most precious to you!"
"Keep dreaming" said Tony gritting his teeth "You'll never get the chance to even see her 'cuz your sorry metal butt is going to die here" said Tony firing his repulsors to life and aiming them at Ultron.
"Oh, Tony" laughed Ultron evilly "You are incredibly slow for a genius. Did you really think I wasn't smart enough to plan for defeat? I knew that there was a chance of failure, so I made a clone of myself. Its not exactly permanent, but it will live long enough to fly to New York and extract my reve-!" Ultron was cut of by Thor's lightening, Vision's mind stone ray, and Tony's repulsors all being fired upon him at once. The robot soon lay in a pile of twisted metal pieces and cinders.
"Good work gang! Now we have to- Tony! Where are you going?!" Steve Rogers stared at the sky in confusion as Tony blasted away faster than the speed of sound.
"To save someone I love."

You reclined on the couch as Pepper made some calls a few feet away. You sighed as you read your favorite book, one about a magical world and the power of love. Yeah, it was pretty cheesy, but who the hell cared? You certainly didn't.
The battle of Sokovia had ended around yesterday morning, much to you and Pepper's relief. Now, you were excitedly awaiting your hero's return, which could be any day now. You had tried contacting Tony but he wouldn't pick up, which was understandable. He had probably lost his phone in all the chaos.
Suddenly you heard the doorbell ring. Tony! In a frenzy, you tried to rush frantically downstairs, but Pepper held your arm tightly.
"What are you doing?" you ask her, impatient to finally see your father. She remained silent, but a look of terror was in her eyes. You were about to protest once more when you heard a loud thud downstairs. Suddenly the elevator behind you dinged and the doors opened to reveal a tall silver colored robot.
"Ultron" you breathe, recognizing the robot from the television.
"Ahhhhh, finally!" said Ultron seeing you a Pepper in the center of the room "No more annoying Avengers to get in the way." He prepared to blast. Pepper shoved you out of the way and she herself jumped backwards. Almost immediately, hundreds of Ultron's robots crashed through the huge glass windows, targeting you and Pepper.
"Don't bother with the red-head!" yelled Ultron "We want the girl!"
"Yeah?" you challenged "Well the girl don't want you!" Ultron turned to you with a smirk… if robots could smirk.
"Grab her!"
A droid lunged for you. You grabbed a nearby broken chair leg and brought it down as hard as you could on the most sensitive part of all robots: the control panel. The robot immediately shriveled up and fell to the ground.
"Why do you want me?" you yelled at Ultron.
Ultron smiled evilly and uttered one word, drenched with hate "Revenge."
At once all the droids rushed at you.
"Leave her alone!" Pepper yelled.
The droids immediately hit Pepper's head causing her to blackout. You screamed her name as you ran behind a sofa to dodge the fire of the droids. You looked around for a way to escape.
Just a few yards away you saw your answer: the elevator. You gripped the broken chair leg you were still holding and rushed with all your speed to the elevator. One droid was able to shoot you in the leg. You yelled in pain but continued moving. You jumped into the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. The doors closed shielding you from the deluge of bullets.
"No!" you heard Ultron scream "We cannot let her get away! Turn of all power in the tower! Shut the elevator down!"
Almost at once you felt the elevator grind to a stop.
"Well this just couldn't be any worse" you muttered. The lights went out leaving you in total darkness.
"Obviously it can" you sighed. The droids started to bang against the door, trying their best to knock it down or make it part, but since the power was off the doors didn't open.
You crouched down in the dark, Stark Tower elevator terrified. Ultron's robots uncontrollably and relentlessly tried to break in to get to you. One was able to slightly separate the elevator doors. It leaked oil and guck onto the elevator floor as it entered. Its metal parts were sharp and rigid.
The robot made a grab for your face. You dodged and came away with a nasty scrape on the right side of your head. You frantically thrust a broken chair leg, the only weapon you had, into its control panel shutting it off immediately. It took all your teenage strength to shove the robot out of your confined space. The doors of the elevator immediately reclosed keeping all other robotic persons at bay…for now.
Using your hoodie sleeve, you tiredly rubbed dripping blood off of your face, which trailed from the top of your forehead to your chin in a single, thin river. You exhaustedly leaned against the wall, knowing it wouldn't take long for another robot to break through the doors.
You would die here.
When all hope seemed lost, you heard a miraculous sound; the sound of repulsors being fired.
"Dad!" you yelled from inside the elevator. There was no response. Instead, you heard your father outside battling robot after robot. You were forced to torturously listen and clash after clash erupted from the other side of the elevator doors. Suddenly, it all became quiet.
"Sweetie?" you heard your dad call from outside "Sweetie, are you in there?"
Your hero had saved you once again.
"I'm here!" you croaked out, a few tears of joy and relief threatening to fall. You saw red and gold fingers grasp the door and pull it open with brute force. As soon as the gap was big enough you jumped into your father's arms.
"Daddy!" you groaned as you fell into his arms, finally reuniting with him. He threw his helmet aside and wrapped his arms around you, holding you close.
"Oh, Sweetie!" he gasped out seeing your injured leg and face "I'm so sorry. What happ-"
"Pepper's hurt" you interrupted urgently motioning upstairs. Tony's eyes darkened. Despite the situation you couldn't help but smile slightly. Ultron was going to be sorry for laying a hand on Pepper.
"Stay here and don't move!" Tony commanded, as he blasted off upstairs to face Ultron and save Pepper. You tried to follow but your loss of blood prevented it and you blacked out.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Your eyes slowly opened. Your head no longer felt dizzy and your leg no long throbbed with an agonizing burn. You grunted quietly trying to lift yourself from the soft and fluffy bed you were in. You gave up when a shot of electrifying pain blasted through your body at the slightest movement.
Did I die? You thought Is this heaven?
"Sweetie?" you heard a gentle and familiar voice say, "Can you hear me?"
"Daddy" was all you could breathe out. Immediately, strong muscular arms surrounded you careful not to move your body. Your father hugged you gently, trying to withhold his passion so that he wouldn't crush your fragile body.
"I missed you" you told him holding on to his shirt.
"I missed you too"
There was no doubt about it; Tony Stark was your hero.
