"What happened?" Asked a very worried looking argosy after I hung up the phone and smashed it against the wall. I ignored him and grabbed my coat and the audi's keys and headed towards the elevator. Rhodes followed right after.

"Victoria is in jail."

Rhody patted me on the back and presses the garage button on the side of the elevator's door. When the door closed the little bastard started laughing. Does he think this is fucking funny?

"What the fuck, Rhodes?"

He stopped laughing and gave me one of those 'meaningful looks.'

"Now you know how Howard felt."

He ride down was painfully quiet. He was right, I might only know Victoria for a few days but even I noticed how similar we are. Please God, don't let me mess her up like my father messed me up.

The ride to the station was dead silent as well. I was too consumed in my own thoughts and Rhodes was smart enough not to fuck with me in times like these. Just a little over a week ago I would've never imagine I would be picking up my daughter from jail.

My daughter, my daughter. I still can't wrap my head around it. And I thought the Mandarin was bad no barely made it out of that mess and now I'm in an even bigger one. Technically, she's part of the Mandarin's mess. Because of me her mother is dead, and I don't think she will ever forgive me for that.

"She's just going through daddy issues, it will pass Tony." Said Rhody, bringing me back down to Earth.

"I'm a grown ass man and I'm still not completely over my daddy issues. Don't lie to comfort me." I growled back at him while I was pulling into the police station.

When the receptionist saw me, her eyes sparked up. Oh great, not this again.

"Oh my god! It's Tony Stark, it's Iron M-"

"Be professional, come on."

Amanda, or so her name tag read, say back down disappointed and pulled herself together. I couldn't care less if I ruined her moment, my mind was lost somewhere else. I was having one of the worst days in my life and it couldn't possibly get any worst.

"Don't fucking touch me!"

Okay, I stand corrected. Victoria's scream could be heard all the way into the waiting room. I looked back and Rhody and he nodded knowing exactly what I was asking for. He stayed behind to fill the paperwork and I SHIELD-ED my way in. A few guards tried to stop me but I flashed my SHIELD badge at them. It wasn't completely real but oh well, I WAS working for SHIELD after all. Might as well get the little perks.

The head of the police was locking her up in a cell but stopped as soon as he saw me. "Holy shit, she was saying the truth." Said one of the guards. I rolled my eyes out and took my wallet out. Victoria was sitting down on the bed, hands cuffed and streams of tears running down her cheeks. Just the sight of her, my daughter, like this broke my heart.

"Let her go." I threw the bail money at his feet and walked up to her cell.

"Now."

He signaled the guard to pick up the money and he took his keys out and unlocked the door.

"Mr. Stark, you can count on my silence, the confidentiality agreement about prisoner's information was faxed to us by your secretary Pepper Potts. You can count on our silence." He handed me a folder with Victoria's name on it and a bad with her belongings on it. "Here is all or her belongings and the details of the assault. The victim issued a restraining order against Ms. Hansen here, and she is also banned from that specific Starbuck's location. Next time the consequences will be worst and it will result in indefinite jail time. If I may, I suggest anger management classes."

"Victoria, let's go." She wiped the tears away and tried to put her poker face back on. I could see she was struggling to do so.

"On the way out Amanda will hand you the release forms, all you need to do is sign and she's free to go." Added the officer.

The ride home was painfully silent and awkward. Rhodes had stayed behind to make sure everybody will keep their traps shut so it was only her and I in the car. She had stopped crying but was still sobbing quietly. I was terrified of speaking up, for the first time in a while actually. She needed me right now and I had no idea what to say. I turned the car around waking her up from her little trance.

"W-where are we going?" She asked, her voice low and rough.

"You'll see."
