Okay everyone, I've had to really do some thinking and I am afraid I have been very distracted as well as busy. I am writing this as the last chapter of this segment.

I will write the next one once I've seen Iron Man 3.

However, there is time before that happens. So, I am giving you, my followers, the choice to vote.

Once this is done, do you want me to just do some random stuff with Sadie and Tony before Iron Man 3, or would you like me to do a future (Sadie as a teenager segment). I have heard many would love this idea and am considering it. It may not come for a bit but I will try I promise.

Thank you for all of your continued support of Sadie and Tony.

Love, Geminisonic

Sadie was back in school, Tony was back to work, and Pepper was back to doing what she always did; worry about the two of them.

Sadie was welcomed back at school with open arms and tears. All of her friends had been waiting for her safe return and gave her a Welcome Home Party on her first day back.

Their papers would be due any day. Sadie withdrew and her teacher understood. She gave Sadie an A for all the research she'd done and decided it was best for everyone to destroy it.

Tony was not happy but he knew it made Sadie feel better to know her paper was no longer being used for evil. He instead had her help him with the judging.

Sadie gave the prize to Polly. Not because she was her friend, but because her research was going towards a good cause ending world hunger using science.

She told Polly the good news herself and Polly was ecstatic to win. All of her friends were pleased with the choice and as they prepared for fourth grade, they made sure Sadie was still considered part of the class, even if she didn't pick their papers.

Tony on the other hand, was distracted. For a few weeks after the ceremony, he was constantly in his workshop. He seemed different, more distant. He wouldn't even let Sadie come down.

It upset her so much that her dad didn't want her to help him that Pepper decided to enroll her in a 2 week summer camp with Polly. Sadie needed to get away and have fun. And Pepper needed to figure out what Tony's game was. It wasn't like him to treat Sadie this way.

…

Tony was so busy with his latest discovery for his suit; he didn't realize Sadie would leave for summer camp today.

He heard a knock and looked up. Sadie was wearing a jacket and backpack, looking sadly at him through the glass.

He let her in and asked her where she was going.

She looked down and shook her head.

Then it hit him, "summer camp! Yeah! Have fun, Sade's!"

She looked up sadly, "Daddy…?"

"What is it?" he asked, going towards her.

"Do you hate me?"

"What? No! Why would you think that?"

"Are you ashamed that I dropped out of the contest?"

"No! Sadie, I'm just glad you helped judge it."

"Are you upset that my paper turned into something bad?"

"Sadie, that's not your fault-"

"Then why won't you talk to me?!" she yelled.

He was taken aback.

She continued to stare at him and he finally sighed and rubbed his face, "Sade's, do you really want to go to summer camp?" he asked.

She nodded, "But not until you talk to me."

He sighed again and sat down and motioned her to come to him. She put her backpack down and sat in his lap. He hadn't realized how long it had been since he'd let her sit in his lap.

She curled up and he hugged her, "I'm sorry, Sade's."

"Why are you down here all the time?" she sobbed.

"I'm onto something, baby. But I can't…"

She looked at him, "Is it for Iron Man?" she asked.

He nodded, "Look, I'll tell you when I know it's safe, but right now…I don't want you involved in any more bad stuff okay. I just want you to be a normal kid."

She nodded, looking down.

"You do want to be a normal kid again, right?" he asked, chuckling.

She grinned. The special grin that she and Tony shared when they were at a loss for words.

"Then go to camp, don't worry so much. When you come home, I'll be here." He said, kissing her forehead.

She kissed his cheek and finally got up.

Before she left, she turned around, "Daddy…"

"Yeah Sade's?"

"I may want to be a normal kid…but I want to be your daughter more."

With that she left and Tony smiled to himself.

He stared with disdain at his newest project. He looked over at the collage picture frame filled with photos of Sadie. He should never have let his suit come between him and the ones he loved.

He finally decided to make something special for Sadie. Something that would come in handy later. Something that would definitely make her his daughter. Something a little insane. Something with a little bit of….iron to it.

Course he'd have to make it pink.

Thanks again for following everyone. I am sorry to end this segment. Don't forget to vote! Sadie's counting on you!
