Chapter Twenty-Five: Phase 2. Panic has just been revealed to the world and now everyone knows her face but it's been awhile since S.H.I.E.L.D. and Panic heard from Jedidiah and Vortex so now it's time for the second part of their plan. Enjoy this chapter and please review and follow this story.

When Tony and I got back to his Malibu mansion lets just say he wasn't to happy about my little stunt in there. Pepper left to go to the private jet to some place that I never actually asked her about. Now I'm stuck here for God only knows how long with Tony Stark, my father, who I don't seem to get along with. He orders me to sit down on the couch and since I'm to lazy to argue I do as I'm told. He sits down in the seat across from me and looks at me with such an intensity that if he had the ability to melt things, I'm sure I'd be a puddle on the ground right now.

"What the hell?" that's what he asks. I roll my eyes and look down at my necklace, just fiddling with it, avoiding eye contact with him. I don't know why he's so mad, probably because me doing that reflects bad on him. Him and his life and his career and his reputation that really couldn't be anymore tarnished.

"What?" I say, putting a snobby snap in my tone.

"That was not apart of the plan."

"Oh like you listen to any plans that anyone makes" I reply.

"That is completely different, I save the world and a lot of people."

"So because I'm not a idiotic superhero I have to bark like a dog and do what you tell me to? What am I a Labrador Retriever?"

"Yeah, I'm your father, I think that's one of the rules, I don't know how to be a dad and obviously you don't know how to be a daughter."

"I do too! I choose not to behave like that though" I reply, slightly offended.

"Why not?"

"Because I don't need a parent! I've been on my own for a long time and just because you found out I'm your bastard child doesn't mean that you have to take responsibility for me. If you had a choice you know for damn sure that you wouldn't keep me!" I shout, jumping up on my feet before spinning around and bolting up the stairs and into my room; I pull the diary out from under my pillow and look down at it as I pull my legs up to my chest and wrap my arms around them.

"Miss Stark," JARVIS says, as tears fill my eyes. "Are you alright, you seem upset."

"I-I'm, I don't know." Not a lie. For once it's not a lie. I know I snapped at Tony when I was mad at myself but he made me angry and I lashed out.

The door to my bedroom comes open and Tony steps in, unsure whether or not I'm going to snap again. "Sorry" is all I say as I keep my gaze on the diary, something Tony notices as he sits down at the end of the bed.

"What was that about?"

"While you and the Avengers battle outer demons I battle internal ones and you annoyed me and I lashed out. So I'm sorry."

"Is that book talking to you or something?"

"Get up" I say, releasing my knees from a death grip, he does as I get up and pull the folder out from under the mattress and drop it on the bed top. I climb back onto the bed and pull my knee back up to my chest as he looks at the folder like it's gonna open itself.

"Are you gonna open it?" I ask, looking up at him as I set my chin on my knees.

"You're giving me permission?" he replies, as I nod.

He picks up the folder and flips it open, eyes scanning over the pictures, birth certificate, letters. I sit silently as he reads each letter while I think to myself about everything that has led up to this point. He first reads my mothers letter, then Obadiah's and that's when I see something I hadn't noticed before. I lean forward as Tony's still reading and I pull the picture from the folder and look down at it. It was a picture of my mom as a teenager, maybe my age with a boy with messy blond hair and the same cold eyes that I recognize, Jedidiah.

She's dressed in a red bikini and he's in black and yellow swim trunks with the beach behind them. He looks flustered and then I remember something Jedidiah said. I didn't really think about his tone back then or the expression on his face but now, now I think it means more than I originally thought. "When you find her connection to Obadiah you'll learn how I know her. How I know she ended up pregnant with that..., that scumbags child, meaning you."

His words ring through my head, his voice was cold and hateful, not the type of tone you'd expect from someone who wanted revenge on all of the Avengers, more like he had it out for Tony. Why would he have it out for Tony because he didn't sound to passionate about avenging his brother. Unless...

My eyes go wide as I put it together, what he said, the picture, what it all means. I grab the diary and skim through the pages in search of something that validates my theory. Then I find it, a page that reads:

Dear Diary,

Today Jedidiah, my best friend who's also the little brother of Obadiah, my brothers best friend, told me something that made me feel so guilty. He told me that he was in love with me and I-I'm pregnant with another guys, Tony Stark's baby. I could go on pretending that nothing was going on and yeah, I may have used the baby as a major reason we couldn't go out but I had to tell him who that father was. I've been pregnant for three weeks and I'm starting to show a little bit and Obadiah is moving me tomorrow and now I'm not sure if Jedidiah and I are even still friends.

I look up from the page, that's all I need to read to know what's really going on. Jedidiah want revenge against Tony, not only for his brother by also for my mother, the woman he loved whom Tony knocked up. He kidnapped me because... maybe because I'm his bastard child and mom used me as the main reason they couldn't be together despite that not being the truth.

"Oh my God..." I mumble the words before I can stop myself. Tony looks up at me as I gape down at what I've just discovered.

"Panic, what'd you find?"

"Oh my God!" I say again, getting up off the bed and bolting down the stairs as I reach the bottom floor the TV comes on and an explosion overcomes the screen and I notice Tony is standing behind me. Vortex blew up a S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

"Stay here, I'm gonna go find Fury and everyone, got it?" he says and I nod. Tony gets into one of his many suits and I watch as he flies away, over the ocean and up into the sky and then a voice behind me makes my veins freeze up like ice.

"Hello Miss Stark..."
