Chapter 10 (I hope you like Casey, and her team mates. This is from Tony's POV.)
Steve picked up the girl she had seem tried since she fell asleep in his arms, it was cute I had to admit. He hadn't tried getting close to anyone after Ellie died but maybe he could, and maybe even with this girl, he had shown more kindness than normal. I hadn't seen Casey yet. I went over to the bodies of the recent fallen experiments. Two boys, no older than twenty-six or seven, close to the same age as Casey. It was relief in a way to know that it wasn't her but to know that it's someone else child, broke my heart. The two standing at the end of the gun and arrow I finely remembered I knew. Violet Hickson, and Jackson…something I'm sure it had to be Hickson but it's Violet's last name.
"What do we do with them?" While Steve had walked off to the aircraft to put the girl down, he had left Natasha and Clint standing there holding their weapons at these kids heads.
"Put your weapons down. They're harmless." It sounds a lot better in my head the when I just said it. But none the less I knew these kids, but the others looked at like I wasn't insane.
"I'm sorry did you say harmless? They just kicked our asses, or did you forget?" Natasha could be a bitch at times but she meant well and she was right about them not being harmless, they did kick our asses but I trusted them.
"I didn't forget, but I know these kids. Violet and Jackson, right?" I wanted to make sure that they were them, if not it wouldn't be pretty. They turned slowly to look at me but I had my mask on. I lowered myself down from the hovering and removed my mask. Their face had shock written all of it I have to say it is nice see that look again, of not knowing who Iron man is, I kinda missed it.
"Mr Stark? OMG!" Violet came running over to me, and hugged me. I have to say I was shocked to have her hug me. Her reaction was not what I expected. Jackson walked over slowly, still looking at Natasha and Clint to see if they would shot. I hadn't realized that she was crying into my suit. Violet and Jackson had gone with Casey when they joined, they were all very close. A big brother and two little sisters their relationship was family.
They were in an orphan home together, the woman ran it was an orphan once, I grow up with her, and she was a lot like Casey. I had visited a lot but never noticed Casey until it was her eighth birthday, and I had come down to say hi Merlia spoke a lot of Casey and the other two. Casey caught my eye straight away. Beautiful, unbelievably smart for an eight year old, she had a heart made of gold. When I brought her back with me was Pepper started working for me. A year after I adopted her the other two were brought to me asking to look after them until Merlia came, which I had Pepper do. They were adopted not long after she came but by a friend of mines brother Rhodey, so Casey grew up with them.
"Are you two ready to get out of here?" I was glad to see these kids come out alive, over the years I had grown to care for them.
"Yes please!" Violet whipped her tears away and smiled at me, her eye were golden I didn't remember them being this colour but it suited her. These kids could use a shower, hair wash, body care, haircut, but now it was about getting them to S.H.I.E.L.D which I wasn't sure was right for them.
As I entered the plan Steve had just put the girl down to sleep. I went over to look at her when he grabbed my arm and looked at me.
"She is okay. But she needs her sleep. Talk to her when she wakes, it's the best for her Anthony." I wouldn't of care what he said if he didn't use my name. I shot him a look of question and all he did was nod in her direction, and walked off. Just then I knew it was Casey. Casey was the one who started called me Anthony, she knew I hated it but when it came from her I knew I was in trouble or we needed to have a talk. Then Jackson and Violet started calling me it too, it annoyed my but I lt the three continue calling me it.
