The next morning day I was in the lab with dad again. Testing the boot thruster… again.

"Day 11, test 37, configuration 2.0. For lack of better option, Dummy is still on fire safety. If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college," Dad announced.

I laughed, "Be nicer to your robot, dad."

Dad scowled playfully, "All right, nice and easy. Seriously, just gonna start off with 1% thrust capacity."

"Finally gonna take your 17 year old daughters advice?" I asked, playfully.

Dad ignored me, "And three, two, … one." Dad lifted slowly into the air. He hovered in the same spot for a few seconds before he started to move sideways a little. I cheered, and dad regained control.

"Okay," he said, and saw Dummy following him around, "Please don't follow me around with it, either, 'cause I feel like I'm gonna catch on fire spontaneously."

I laughed as dad stumbled again.

"Just stand down!" dad shouted, "If something happens then come in. And again, let's bring it up to 2.5. Three, two, one." He hovered higher in the air and started to lose control. "Okay, this is where I do not want to be! Not the car, not the car!" He started to float toward the table I was sitting at, "Bells, move! Table!"

I dove out of the chair and sat up, dad had floated over the table and was working his way back to the landing pad.

"Could be worse! Could be worse! We're fine! Okay," he rambled. When he got over the landing pad, he dropped and landed on the metal with a little bit of balance issues. He looked at me smugly, "Yeah, I can fly," he stated.

I laughed and jumped to my feet, my dad's boots deactivated and he stepped out of them. I hugged him, "Yes, you can fly."

Over the next few weeks dad and I were holed up in the lab, testing and engineering the Mark 1 suit. We built the mask, finished the armor, and dad even added the mini missiles I built into the weapon firer. Pepper stopped down every now and again but she mostly left us alone, I did most of my classes online so I was able to keep up on school work. It eventually came to be the day that the suit was finished and it was time for a test run!

"Jarvis, you there?" dad called.

"At your service, sir," the AI answered.

"Engage Heads Up Display, " I commanded as dad worked on getting in the suit.

Jarvis responded curtly, "Check."

"Import all preferences from home interface," dad told Jarvis."

"Will do, sir."

Dad was in the armor, "All right, what do you say?"

"I have indeed been uploaded, sir. We are online and ready."

Dad started to turn around the room, scanning things I presume. He was probably arguing with Jarvis about something, but I couldn't hear because.. well I wasn't in the helmet. Suddenly dad took off through a garage tunnel, I was shocked, that was suicide!

"Jarvis, get me online!" I yelled.

"Right away, miss."

"Hey sweetheart," dad's voice came through the speakers in the room.

"You are an idiot," I told him.

I heard in laugh in response, "Seriously dad, the suit isn't even done."

"Bella, sometimes you have to walk before you can run," he said, I could hear the smirk in his voice. "Handles like a dream."

"Idiot," I scoffed.

"All right, let's see what this thing can do? What's SR-71's record?" dad asked, again ignoring me.

"No, dad you are not going to die."

"Relax, kid."

Jarvis answered, "The altitude record for fixed wing flight is 85,000 feet, sir."

Dad shouted, "Records are made to be broken! Come on!"

I screamed in frustration, "You are a careless ass, dad!"

"Live a little," he retorted.

"Sir, there is a potentially fatal buildup of ice occurring," Jarvis announced.

"Dad, get down now." I yelled. He was going to be the cause of his own death for god's sake!

"Higher! Keep going!"

"Are you suicidal?" I growled.

"Miss Stark, connection has been lost," Jarvis announced.

"Damn it!"

Minutes later Dad came crashing through the roof of the garage and he landed on the cars, I yelped in surprise and jumped out of my seat at the noise.

"Don't say it, Bella," dad groaned.

"Told you so," I smirked. I crossed my arms, and left the lab.

Hey everyone! Almost done with Iron Man 1! Between Iron Man 1 & 2 I plan on doing some fillers in stead of rushing right into the next script. Thank you all for your amazing support, I will continue to post chapters today and maybe tomorrow night because I slacked of this weaken. Love you all!
