Chapter 13
Bella woke up in the Stark household, but not in the guest room she usually occupied. Instead she was in Tony's room, next to him both in the nude. She recalled the events that happened the night before and mentally cursed herself. Oh well, she thought, it was only a one night thing. The thought of being considered another one of Tony's one night stands hurt her so much it hurt thinking about it. She shook away the thoughts and was about to get up to hunt for her clothes, when strong firm arms wrapped around her waist. She turned around and found tony propped up next to her smiling.
"And where do you think you're going" he asked. She tried to pay attention to the fact that he was naked, though it was hard not to(not like we can blame her). She looked him in the eyes and pulled a pleasant smile.
"I'm trying to find my clothes, so I can get dressed then get you dressed so we can get started with the day" she said. He raised an eyebrow and sat up.
"Why do I get the feeling your trying to leave"
"Well technically, we both have to leave"
"You know what I mean" he said. She looked away and then turned back at him.
"It's nothing"
"Oh yeah? Then look me in the eyes and say it's nothing" he demanded. She looked him in the eyes and they both knew he had won.
"I'm not another one of your one night stands" she stated simply. He looked at her shocked for a minute then shook his head chuckling. "And what's so funny"
"What's so funny is that you don't remember what I said last night"
"And that would be" he looked her dead and the eye smiling.
"I love you" she stared at him for the longest time before smiling.
"I love you too"
"Now was that so hard"
"Shut up, stupid" she said shoving him. He wrapped his arms around her and she sighed.
"Now what"
"Let me think… oh yeah! I'm with my boss in his bed. Naked"
"I am seriously one lucky bastard" he said after some consideration. She rolled her eyes and he laughed "Oh come on! It's no big"
"No big? Tony, how will it look for me to be dating you and work for you"
"Pretty sexy to me"
"Can you please be serious"
"I am! I love you and you love me, that's all there is to it. If anyone has a problem with it, they can go screw themselves cause I don't give a damn" she looked at him surprised and smiled.
"I guess you're right" she sighed
"No, I am right and you know it" he said. She laughed then smiled.
"You're right"
"Damn right I am. Now let's get something to eat" he said. She rolled her eyes at his antics and sighed. Oh well, she thought, Tony will be Tony.
After they had gotten dress, they fixed breakfast successfully and ate laughing, when Alice walked in.
"Morning boss. Morning other boss"
"What are you talking about Hale" he asked calling her by her last name (alice and jazz are married in this one along with em and rose), a habit he had gotten into over the years and never once thought of breaking "I'm back and going back to work. Which means Bells is my assistant again"
"I know that, but while you were gone Bella handled several matters that she has to continue those matters" she explained. He raised his eyes in disbelief and pouted.
"So what am I suppose to do"
"Well, I gotta call from a agency named S.H.I.E.L.D and they need to see you for 'debriefing'" she said making a confused face. Tony let out a loud groan and both girls stared at him.
"S.H.I.E.L.D is a a government agency that helps people around the world" he explained
"So, they're with the government" Bella asked
"No"
"But you said they were a government agency" Alice said
"But they aren't with the government"
"Then the feds"
"The feds are with the gov"
"CIA"
"Still the gov"
"Then what" the girls demanded
"S.H.I.E.L.D is a government agency but don't work with the government. They're actually quite above that"
"How far above"
"Above the president"
"Then what do they want with you"
"Let's just say S.H.I.E.L.D has its own agenda" he said before sipping his coffee.
"Glad to know that's what you think of us, Stark" they looked up and saw a mean looking black guy with an eye patch walk in(finally! it took them long enough). He was followed by a medium sized man with black hair and a woman with dark red hair.
"Fury, Coulson, Natasha" he said bluntly "Bella, Alice this is General Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, and Natasha Romanoff"
"Nice to meet you" Natasha said with a thick Russian accent. Coulson nodded and walked over to the counter then leaned on it.
"Long time no see, Stark. How've you been"
"I've had better days. Though I did have a very… peaceful night" he smiled. Bella shook her head and tried to hide her smile "SO is there a reason you broke into my house Fury? For the what time"
"Second. Last time you invited me in" he said taking a seat across from him next to Bella. Natasha stood next to Alice quietly and smiled.
"Oh yeah. So, what's up now" Fury smirked and pulled out a folder sliding it to him. Bella got up and walked behind him to see what was in there. "Ten Rings"
"What are the Ten Rings" Bella asked
"Not what. Who" he corrected "They're a group of people under some influence of massive technology. They held me captive a year ago. When I first became Iron Man"
"I'm so sorry"
"It's okay"
"Actually, it's not. In those files you'll see we found out we got some information on them. Including the person who leads them"
"Who is it" Alice asked
"A man who guys by the name of Mandarin" Natasha explained
"And it turns out he had some kind of connection with your dad" Coulson added. Tony's head shot up, then he rushed down stairs.
"Tony" Bella called "We'll be right back" she followed him downstairs to the workshop and saw him getting ready to put on the Iron Man suit "Don't you even think about"
"Already am and don't try to stop me"
"Too late. Tony, are you insane? I understand that the death of your parents is important to you, but you have to think about what you're doing"
"Okay then let me think. I'll be finding out information about the death of my father, be ridding the world of the Ten Rings, be bringing down their leader making them helpless and did I mention world peace? I think that's enough"
"Oh yeah? Well, what about me" he paused for a minute and looked at her.
"Sometimes you have to make sacrifices" he whispered
"So you're willing to sacrifice your life and go get yourself killed, when you can stay and plan this"
"Yes"
"Why"
"I have to do this-"
"No, I mean why do you always have to be so damn stupid! You always have to do the worse thing possible to get the job done, don't you? Don't you"
"You know what? Yeah, I do. But it gets the job done" he yelled
"But it gets you killed"
"And? That's the price I have to pay! It's not like I have anything to live for" Oh shit. "Bella, I did not mean that, I swear to God"
"Yeah you did"
"No, Bella! I was mad- I was thinking straight! I-"
"Forget it" she said before running upstairs. He slammed his fist down on the table and cussed. Why do I always have to screw it up when I finally have it good, he asked himself mentally.
She walked upstairs trying to get herself together. Pull yourself together Swan, she thought, it was never going to work out anyways. She sighed before walking into the kitchen.
"Is everything okay" Alice asked
"No. Tony's being an idiot- again- and deciding to go after them" she announced before sitting down next to Fury.
"Dammit Stark. Why does always have to be so bull headed"
"I'm not sure. I think it's cuz I'm so used to getting everything I want" they turned and saw him walking in to the kitchen.
"What happened" Bella asked acidly
"I-I couldn't do it. Well, at least not yet. I have too much at stake to lose" he admitted. She looked down and tuned out the rest of the conversation. It must have ended early because she heard Tony moving towards her. She didn't look at him and tried not to address him. "I know you're mad at me and I know I deserve it, so I'm not going to ask you to forgive me"
"What" she asked looking at him
"I'm not going to ask you to forgive me" he repeated "Instead I'm going to rough out you being pissed at me and ignoring me. If you decide to forgive me- which I doubt you will for a while- then I'll do whatever you want and always keep you first. Well, I'm going to keep you first anyways, but you get the idea" She looked up at him and sighed. She got up and looked him dead in the eyes.
"you really didn't mean it, did you" she asked and he shook his head.
"I really am sorry" he said. She looked at him and smiled.
"I forgive you" she said. He smiled widely and leaned into kiss her, but was cut off by her hand over his mouth. "I forgive you, but I haven't completely forgiven you. Which means, you're back to square 1" she removed her hand and walked past him towards the stairs.
"You're kidding, right" he asked. She smiled to herself and didn't answer him "Right? You are just joking around, aren't you"
"Good night, Tony" she called from the top of the stairs. He listened as he heard the door to the guest room close.
"that's what you get for being an asshole, you dumb bastard" he said out loud to himself "Well, looks like I'm sleeping alone tonight" he climbed up the stairs and walked into his room. He sighed ad flopped down on the bed. He stayed like that for a while when he heard his door open. He sat up and saw Bella.
"You really didn't think I'd make you sleep alone, did you" she asked. He nodded sheepishly and she giggled quietly. She walked over to him and sat in his lap "You are so sad"
"Well how was I suppose to know? You were pretty damn convincing" he said defensively. She shook her head and sighed into his shoulder. He rubbed her back and laid back down. "So… what do we do know"
"Didn't I say that I didn't forgive you completely" she asked. She crawled out of his embrace and got under the covers. She laughed at his frozen and sighed. "Are you going to come over her or not" he shook his head and crawled in next to her.
"So, when do you think it'll take you to forgive me" he asked
"A while. A very long while"
