Disclaimer: Don't own Ironman I wish but sadly I don't.
A/N: Yes I know its been a while forgive me hope this makes every thing better.
Remember to read and review too you all know how much I love off to the story.
Third persons POV:
"Thanks again for filling in on short notice Phillip."
Tony smiled as Phillip, Pepper and Nataile stepped out of the car next to Tony and Danielle.
"No problem Mr. Stark. This means alot I can't thank you enough."
Phillip grinned helping Happy and Carlos grab the rest of Tony and Danielle's bags from both cars and load them onto the plane.
"Hey you've flown me around the world and back god knows how many times. Whats a trip to France?"
Danielle teased punching his arm teasingly as the two boarded the plane. A chuckle asked Tony's lips as wrapped his arm around his daughter pulling her into him tightly.
It was funny. Without looking or knowing you would have thought Danielle had spent years with her father, when really it was just over a week or so. Yet it seemed like ever since she had first set foot into his house Tony some how felt almost determinded to spend every minute he could with her. Terrified Juliet might change her mind and try and take her back never to be seen again.
Or that the blood poisening from his Arc reactor would leave him knocking on deaths doorstep.
"For the record I still don't approve of this..."
Carlos grumbled from the couch as the flight attendents locked up the main door and began running through their in flight saftey instructions.
"Mom said I could and since your my body gaurd you have to go were I go."
Danielle stated plopping down on the couch across from her body gaurd. She knew he wasn't happy about her being so close to Tony and knew he was beyond furious at the fact that being how stubborn and smart she was, she'd be dumb enough to trust him.
"Oh this isn't what I signed up for."
Carlos grumbled glancing at the two of them with a dissaproving scowl.
"What part exactly? Being my body gaurd or being stuck with me and my dad on a plane for seven hours?"
Danielle asked him with a satisfying grin forcing Tony to grin even more, and Carlos to stand up and change seats in the back of the some very colorful words in the process.
"God you are my kid."
Tony chuckled sitting next to his daughter lazily settling in for the long flight ahead of them.
"So what're the do's and don'ts once we get to Manaco?"
The young girl asked slouching in her seat as the plane begin to ascend to its cruising altitude. She had been to a couple of events like these before with her mother butnot enough to know what to do.
"Like who to talk to, who to ignore, and who to hide from?"
He smiled resting an arm of the side of the couch taking a small sip of his scotch.
"Yeah something like that."
He glanced at Pepper for a moment who shrugged, pushing him to answer the question on his daughters question while sge continued helping Natalie get into the swing of things
"Well you know just uh...
Tony mumbled trying to figure out what to say. One person clicked into his head though. The one person in the world he couldn't stand seeing.
"You ever heard of Justin Hammer?"
"Gag me with a spoon..."
"Take that as a yes. You don't really sound like a Hammer fan."
Tony chuckled softly hearing the reaction he wanted to hear from his daughter.
"Please tell me that pathetic excuse of a 'genius' isn't going to be there is he?"
He felt Peppers eyes glaring at him from behind but Tony shook it off to interested in what his conversation.
"Sadly he is. I guess he was invited just like we were."
"You sure it wasn't a typo or mistake in mailing. Dad he has a freaking Ironmsn action figure in his coat pocket. I mean seriously thats a little creepy."
"I knew I wasn't the only one that thought that."
The two laughed and continued ranting on about Justin Hammer and the meeting in Washington. There thoughts on him and the various idiotic senators that attend the 'event'. Most of the conversation consitted of either one of them laughing hysterically or mocking Carlos and Hammer.
A half an hour turned into an hour. And hour turned into two and that into two and a half of the father and daughter talking.
"Oh this is to good finally someone who understands my point of views!"
Danielle chuckled running a hand through her hair and wrinkling her nose slightly. Something, Tony noticed her mother used to do when she was happy.
"Mom always used to tell me I could keep a good conversation going with no matter the person."
He grinned ruffling hus daughters hair teasingly.
"Yeah you got that from me, but you got you moms good looks. Something thats bound to bite me in the ass some day."
They both laughed giving each other a little bit of crap about the whole looks thing.
"Don't worry I'm sure you won't have a heartattack on the day I bring a boy home."
Danielle spoke patting his shoulder trying to reassure him.
"Alright fair enough just no one with an IQ below 200."
Tony joked forcing his daughter to laugh and roll her eyes teasingly at him.
who returned the gesture.
"Damn looks like Hammers kids are out of the picture."
He snickered placing a hand over his heart as if he were having a heart attack.
"That would probably put me in a coffin if you married anything with that name."
"I'd probably join you. And take the company with me."
Once again they both began to laugh wiping tears from their eyes once things had calmed down.
"So I take it you haven't been to Monaco from the questions you've asked."
"Only when I was little. I've always wanted to go back but much like L.A it was 'Forbiden'."
Danielle mumbled pulling her knees up to her chest sighing heavily as she looked down.
"I used to take your mother to there and Monaco whenever we got a chance. She loed it. We'd stay for a few days before taking off where ever.-"
"And just drive and drive and drive to no where in general huh?"
The words left her mouth just over a whisper as she smiled.
"We'd always do that when I was little. She got my hooked on it and you must have gotten her hooked on it too."
His daughter spoke yawning softly as she smiled at the man across from her. It wasn't that the conversation with her father was boring her but from the lack of sleep being up with him for the past few days, it was catching up to her.
"Well I guess there are a few good things she remembered..."
Tony mumbled just over a whisper forcing his daughter
"What?"
Dani mumbled raising an eyebrow at him trying to figure out what he said. Though Tony being who he was wouldn't tell her.
"It's nothing just talking to myself. You looklike your ready to fall over."
He chuckled ruffling Danielles hair as he placed his empty glass of scotch of to the side table.
"Who said I was tired?"
"Your yawn did."
"That wasn't...a yawn my mouth was just stretching."
The teenager protested just as another ywan escaped her lips.
"Thats one I haven't heard before."
"You still don't buy it do you?"
He chuckled calling one of the flight attendents over and getting him a refill along with some blankets and pillow for her
"Nope not at all."
Her father told her smirking teasingly as he realised how stubborn she was about sleeping. Probably because he was the same way.
"Damn."
By now the attendents had returned handing Dani her pillow and blanket as she settled onto the couch. A soft smile escaping her lips as looked up at her father. Who was standing up now stretching his legs.
"Get some sleep I'll let you know when we land."
He told her patting her head softly as he took a large sip of his drink.
"Ok. Goodnight Dad I'll see you in a few hours..."
As the words left her mouth her eyes slowly began to close. Her smile still on her face as she dirfted off to sleep.
The eyes of Tony Stark never leaving her as he sat back down. Slowly the minutes ticked by and he began to relax stretching his arms out along the couch, his own eyes getting heavier and heavier by the second.
Letting out a soft sigh he downed the rest of his drink before placing it for the attendent to grab later on.
"Might as well try."
Tony mumbled to himself as he let his eyes close. He pondered in his thoughts for several minutes. Politics, Stark Industries, his Health and...now his family. Juliet and Danielle.
To him. Danielle was the spitting image of her mother. She acted and looked so much like her. Just like the woman he was still so madly in love with.
'Never should have let you slip away Jules...'
Tony thought before falling into a deep sleep. The entire time dreaming about the love of his life.
