You must be angry. Yu deserve to be. First, I had exams and then I was really reluctant in writing the chapter. So you all deserve a sorry present. Here's a super long chapter, my lengthiest. It runs 10 pages in word!

Anyways, here's chapie 11.

Chapter 11

Rayne's POV

I met Jasper at the cross way as planned and we walked to Maine's concert. It was quite crowded and I thanked god that not many people know me. I hate it when I get too much of attention in these situations when I want some privacy. I loved the concert.

"Maine was awesome, wasn't she?" I said as we walked back from the concert in a deserted alley that was probably a short cut to the taxi stand. Apparently few reporters had spotted me and were after me so Jasper and I took this street.

"Yeah, she really was cool... Thanks for coming." he said

"Nah! Thanks for calling." I said.

"Ray?" he called. "Can I say you something?"

"Shoot it!"

"Suddenly without any warning he pulled me towards hi and crashed his lips on mine. I was too shocked t realise what had happened that I didn't even react. He pushed me against the wall. When I gained a little sense I pushed him away but he forced me back to a kiss. "Hell Jasper what are you doing?" I tried to push him again but he kept on wildly kissing me without any reply. He started browsing his hands on me before he tied to slip his hand s inside my t-shirt. "Bull shit, Jasper!" I pushed him away, this time with greater strength. "I...I thought you like me..." said Jasper. "What?" I snapped . " NO!... No not like this. I don't like you!" "But..." was about to say but I cut him off. "No buts! I'm going home." I started walking away. Suddenly he did something that I didn't expect. He pulled me by my arm and pinned me on the ground. "Jasper what the hell!" I shouted. He took out a knife and made cuts on my hands. "You bastard, what do you think you are doing?" I cried as he made a cut in my stomach as pain shot me. I tried to gain upper hand kicked him on his gut as he fell on the floor. As he was about to get up I kicked him hard again this time with my heels and before he could move I took out the paralyser Tony had given me and used it on him. He fell immovable on the ground. "It works!" I said pulling up my jacket. I noticed that my stomach was bleeding. I pulled my jacket closer to hide the blood and then rushed to the taxi stand. "Stark Manson." I said at ones and sat on the seat with a thud.

Normal POV

Tony hates it when Ray is late. It's about 10:35 now and she is not back yet. It was around 11 when Ray came back and she dashed into her room. "Hey!" he said that she replied before banging shut her door. Tony followed her to her room and noticed that she had gone to the washroom to freshen up and had kept the jacket on the bed. Tony picked it up only to see the blood stains in the inner part of it. He quickly reached the pocket and pulled out the paralyser and hit its memory button. It had been used ones. He slowly walked up to the washroom door before placing a light knock."Ray, you in there?" he said but no reply came. Then he noticed that the door wasn't locked. He slowly opened it to see that his little sister was sitting on the wall of the bath tub staring at her feet. Her back was turned towards him and she had not noticed Tony entering and walking towards her. She was wearing a regular blue short shorts and a half sleeved t-shirt. Tony noticed the small cut on her left hand from where blood was flowing while the rest wasn't visible from his angle. "How did you get that?" he exclaimed walking beside her "Shit! Tony! I thought I locked the door!" she exclaimed suddenly turning around. That when he noticed the other cuts on her hands, one on her thigh and the big one on her stomach that was bleeding and staining her t-shirt red. "What happened? Who did this?" he asked in a demanding tone but Ray did not reply. "You are going to tell me or I'm goanna force you!" he pulled her harshly to face her and accidentally pressed his hand on one of the cuts on her arm. She finched. "Tony I'm fine , okay? Calm down" she said.

Tony knew he had to handle things carefully. He always felt confused when it was about Ray. He knew that he sometimes he forced her to tell things. But e didn't understand what should have been right do. What would mom have done if she was here? That's the question he asked himself several times before and he asked it to himself again. He realised that he should handle it calmly and give her some time. "Yeah, I can see that." He said calming his tone.

"Can you please go out?" Ray asked.

"Why?"

"I'm not wearing anything."

Lame excuse Tony thought but said, "You always wear these!"

"Oh come on!" She said pushing him out.

"I'm waiting outside." he said ones he was out before. Ray closed the door and sighed. Why does my brother has to be so observant? She thought and wiped the blood that was on the hands and stomach and changed her clothes. She took more time expecting that Tony wouldn't stay if she took longer. She didn't want to talk to him about it. Not now. She was feeling sick and angry...angry at Jacob for not keeping her faith. Such a jerk! Such a jerk! she repeated in her head.

After taking her time inside the washroom she came out only to find that Tony was still there fidgeting with her lego art kept on her table that she used to make when she was younger. "I don't know you stopped making these? You know you are quite awesome in these."

"I don't like making them anymore." She said plainly. "Are you hurt?" Tony asked in his concerned tone. "No!" she said in a tone showing that she didn't want to talk about it. Tony, trying to keep himself calm let her take some time to calm down. She sat on her bed fuming and mentally talking to herself. "Ray, calm down." He said in an attempt to start a conversation. She threw herself in frustration on the bed hugged the stuffed bunny that she treasures from her childhood. Tony lent forward to take a look at her to see that she was squeezing her eyes shut. "Hey, tell me what happened." He asked but she didn't answer. "Listen to me. It's enough now. You are my sister, you are my responsibility. You can't just react like this. You have to tell me or I'll make you. Look at me!" he pulled her to face him. "Ray please." He said calming his tone. "Who did this?" "Jasper." She almost whispered. She wasn't looking scared but rather upset. "Jasper?" he asked "Isn't he one of the guys from your groups?" she nodded. "I thought he was a friend. But he is an absolute jerk!" "Hey, are you hurt?" "No!" "Tell me what happened." Ray knew that there was no way Tony was letting her get away with this so she finally gave o and told him what happened.

Tony felt his blood boil. How could anyone hurt her like that? He thought to himself. "I'm goanna kill him!" Tony said. "Tony, no!" Ray said sternly. "Please let me handle it, Tony. I don't want you to be in all this. If I need you I'll tell you." she said but Tony didn't seem satisfied. "I promise." She added. Tony rolled his eyes. "Just because you are telling me." Tony said and Rat gave him a smile.

TIME JUMP

After Tony had gone out Ray spent most of her time scribbling in her diary where she was making planning for a machine. This machine she was making could use nuclear energy to convert it to different forms of energy. Right now her aim was sound energy. She didn't even know why she ha d stuck up to sound energy but it didn't matter right now considering all she wanted was to efficiently convert the energy and see if her calculations worked or not. By the time she finished it , it was around 1 o' clock. Time to sleep! She said in a sing-song tone.

Ray was running, looking for someone who could help her out of the unknown danger. She was in Stark Mansion. "Help!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. She went down the stairs to the garage. It was wrecked. The computers were broken, the cars disintegrated. What was left were the metal scrapes the branded cars not even recogniseable. Suddenly she saw someone come towards her. The pace of his walking was amazingly slow. When he approached she was shocked to see that her brother was standing in front of her. But he didn't look like what he usually does. He was bruised all over, blood all over his body. His hair messed up and black unlike his natural brown and sticking to his face, his skin pale his eyes dull. Suddenly , he grabbed her shoulder. "You..." he said , "why are you here?" "Why?" I asked. "You shouldn't be here!" he said and suddenly pushed her and she suddenly felt like she was falling down in an endless hole.

"Aaaah!" Ray screamed as she sat up on the bed. She realised that it was around 2:30. Great! Not even two hours of sleep. She held her head in her hands. Her hear was aching like hell. Realising that she wouldn't be able to sleep she went down to see if her brother was awake or not.

As expected, Tony was working in his garage. He was sitting surrounded by holograms that Ray recognized as the Mark II suit. "Looks impressive!" she said walking in. "Hmm?" Tony said shocked not expecting anyone to come at that hour of night. "Not sleeping?" he asked realising that it was his sister who had came in. "Didn't feel like. Had enough." She said turning the projection towards her. "Nightmare?" Tony almost read her.

"Hmm" she nodded.

"Ray, you haven't been sleeping properly." Tony pointed out.

"I know. But I don't want to." Ray protested.

"I don't want you to fall sick."

Ray didn't reply to him. Instead she kept on inspecting the suit. "Having all the fun yourself, hunh?" she said.

"I was just checking the software."

"Mind if I join?"

"No... I'd love to."

At around 6 in the morning the suit was ready. "Finally!" Ray exclaimed with excitement. "We just need to upload the software." Tony said and Ray nodded. "Your additions are awesome, Ray." Tony said referring to the additions in the aiming system and the plasma blasters. "What do we call it?" Ray asked ones the last of the suit was kept in place.

"Mark II" said Tony plainly.

"No we need a more friendly name, something more like a superhero."

"Okay...What about... kick-ass?"

"No!"

"Butt crusher?"

"Of course not!"

"What then?" he asked frustrated. "Why don't you suggest one?"

"What about..umm..Iron Man?"

"Iron Man." Tony said "That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean, it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold-titanium alloy,"

"I know that! But what else do you want to call it? Auro-titanium man?"

"Iron man" he repeated, " it's kind of evocative, the imagery, anyway. Not bad Ray!"

Jarvis had by now updated the software. "Let me in." He said.

"Jarvis, you up?" Tony asked his loyal AI.

" For you, sir, always."

"Open a new project file, index as Mark Two." said Ray.

"Shall I store this on the Stark Industries Central Database?"

"Actually, we don't know who to trust right now."

"Till further notice, why don't we just keep everything on my private server?" Tony suggested and Jarvis obeyed.

"Working on a secret project, are we, sir?"

"I don't want this winding up in the wrong hands. Maybe in mine, it can actually do some good." Tony said.

"Next. Up." Ray instructed the robots.

"Not in the boot, Dummy. Right here. You got me? Stay put. Nice. You're of no benefit at all. Move down to the toe. I got this." Tony instructed Dummy, his assistant. Then he was realising that he was on his way he said, "Okay, I'm sorry, am I in your way?" but Dummy couldn't do the stuff properly. "Screw it. Don't even move! You are a tragedy! Okay, let's do this right." He said as Ray set the computers.

Tony got up on the stage in front of the cameras. "Why am I at the back stage?" protested Ray.

"Because, I am the hero of the movie."

"Dummy, look alive. You're on standby for fire safety. You, roll it." Ray said.

"Okay. Activate hand controls." Ray added, "We're gonna start off nice and easy. We're gonna see if 10% thrust capacity achieves lift." She told and counted down, "And three, two, one." And pressed the enter key.

"Up two. All right, set that." Tony added

"I've been buzzing you. Did you hear the intercom?" Pepper said when Tony was checking the blasters.

"Yeah, everything's... What?" Tony asked when he realised that Pepper wanted to say something.

"Obadiah's upstairs."

"Great!"

"What would you like me to tell him?"

"Great. I'll be right up."

"Okay." And Pepper went upstairs leaving Ray and Tony alone. Ray had not gone to school because of her headache. She had decided to join directly at the football practice.

"Why is Obadiah here?"Ray asked ones Pepper had gone.

"I have absolutely no idea." Tony said, "So what's your problem with him?"

"Nothing like that, its just...uuh... when youo weren't here, we were not in equal terms."

"That's what I'm asking, why?"

"I can't explain, exactly. He was hurrying with stuff and all. I found it really stramge."

"Yeah, Pepper told me. You want me to talk to him about it."

"Probably not I never had happy terms with him. It was always you. So, nevermind."

Tony nodded.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot it!"

"Do you trust Obadiah?"

"I don't distrust him." He said himself confused. "Do you?"

"I don't know. I don't think I do."

Tony nodded and then he and Ray made their ways upstairs to meet Obadiah. "How'd it go?"Tony asked ones up. "It went that bad, huh?" he said realising he had brought pizza.

"Just because I brought pizza back from New York doesn't mean it went bad." Obadiah said as Ray went round the room to take seat beside Tony but she didn't speak. She didn't like speaking to Obadiah.

" Sure doesn't. Oh, boy."

"It would have gone better if you were there." He argued.

"You told me to lay low. That's what I've been doing!" Tony defended himself. " I lay low, and you take care of all..."

" Hey, come on. In public. The press. This was a board of directors meeting!"

" This was a board of directors meeting?"

"The board is claiming you have posttraumatic stress. They're filing an injunction."

-"A what?"

"They want to lock you out."

"Why, 'cause the stocks dipped 40 points?"

"We knew that was gonna happen."

"Fifty-six and a half." Pepper piped in.

"It doesn't matter!" Tony protested.

"We own the controlling interest in the company." Ray finally spokek up.

"She has a point." Tony said.

"Tony, the board has rights, too. They're making the case that you and your new direction isn't in the company's best interest." Obadiah said.

" I'm being responsible! That's a new direction for me," tony said honestly. "for the company." He added "I mean, me on the company's behalf being responsible for the way that..."

"Oh, come on. Tony. Tony."

"I'll be in the shop."

"Hey, hey! Hey, Tony. Listen. I'm trying to turn this thing around, but you gotta give me something. Something to pitch them. Let me have the engineers analyze that. You know, draw up some specs." He said about the arc reactor.

Tony looked at Ray. The siblings shared glances before Tony spoke, "No. No, absolutely not."

Obadiah might have noticed that but didn't say anything about it. " It'll give me a bone to throw the boys"

" This one stays with me." Tony made it clear. Then he got up to walk down to the garage pulling Ray with him.

"You mind if I come down there and see what you're doing?" Obadiah asked.

"Good night, Obie."
