*Age 15*
Margo opens the door quietly; taking a quick look inside, making sure her dad isn't in the living room. She walks inside, placing her bag near the door and slipping off her shoes.
"You're late Princess." Tony says, walking into the living room from the kitchen. "Did you get held up at school?"
Margo jumps slightly, quickly zipping up her jacket before turning and smiling at Tony. "Yeah, Mrs. Masters wanted me to stay after for extra practice." She explains, heading for the steps. She gives a fake yawn, stretching her arms above her head. "You know, I'm pretty tired, I'm going to head to bed."
Tony raises an eyebrow, placing his coffee on one of the tables in the room. "What's the rush, it's only six."
Margo nods. "Lots of homework and what not." She says, jumping up a few steps.
"I thought you said you were tired?"
"I am!" Margo yells, surprised, hands flying to her neck. "Sleepy and lots of homework." She stands there for a moment, hands still on her neck, watching Tony. She gives another fake yawn. "Well goodnight Daddy."
"Wait." Tony says and Margo stops in her tracks. "Come here young lady." Margo complies, walking back down the steps, zipping her jacket up more until it looks more like a turtle neck sweater. Tony kisses Margo's forehead. "You alright Princess?"
Margo nods quickly, tightening her jacket. "Perfectly fine."
Tony nods, hands slowly going to the zipper on her jacket. In one quick movement the jacket is undone and Tony is tapping his foot. "Then what's that?" He asks gesturing toward a purple bruise on Margo's neck.
Violet eyes widen and the girl mentally panics. "I ran into the wall."
Tony raises an eyebrow again. "And you got a bruise on that awkward part of your neck?"
"Yep, pretty much. I'm tired so..." She trails off, quietly heading for the steps.
"Not so fast." Tony says, grabbing Margo's arm and tugging the teenager toward him again. His fingers trace the bruise and he sighs, does she think he's stupid? "Who did it?" He asks venom in his voice.
"I don't know what you're talking about Daddy." Margo says, jerking away from Tony. "It's a bruise."
Tony laughs. "Princess, do you think I'm stupid I know a hickey when I see one! And that my lovely daughter is a hickey." Tony returns to his concerned/threatening demeanor. "Now who did it?"
Margo shrugs, avoiding eye contact. "The vacuum."
"Do you really want me to believe that?"
"I'd appreciate it." Margo answers, shuffling her feet.
Suddenly there's a knock on the door and Tony goes to answer it. "Stay where you are or you're grounded for a month." He warns, opening the door to see a boy.
"Hello Sir." The boy says, smiling at Tony. "I found this phone lying on the ground outside." Tony suddenly doesn't believe a word this guy is saying, he's seen that phone before. "And I looked inside and is a Margo..." He pauses for a moment. "Stark here?"
Tony leans against the doorway, arms crossed. "Did you?" He taps his foot, eyeing the boy, he just looks suspicious.
"Yes Sir, so does this belong to your daughter?"
Tony raises an eyebrow again. "I never said she was my daughter."
Margo suddenly panics, eyes widening again. "Run Andy run!"
Andy (the boy at the door) drops Margo's phone and starts running, Tony not far behind him. "JARVIS," Margo hears Tony say. "Lock all the doors, this guy isn't getting away."
Margo rushes after Tony and Andy, watching as Tony backs the boy into a corner. Tony pushes the boy into a corner, threatening look in his eyes. "You're the boy who did that to my daughter?"
Andy shakes his head, blonde hair bouncing around his face. "No Sir." Tony narrows his eyes and steps closer to the teenager. "Yes Sir."
Tony punches the wall next to the boy's head, hand making a loud cracking sound, but right now he's too angry to care about the pain. "You need to leave before I decide to kill you, got it?" Tony warns, punching the wall on the other side of the boys face. Tony glares at Andy, if looks could seriously kill. "Touch my daughter again and I WILL kill you, no questions asked."
Andy nods, swallowing and glancing at the man's hands on either side of his face. "Yes, Mr. Stark Sir." Andy swallows again and glances at Margo. "Bye Margo."
Tony moves Andy's head to look at him. "You don't even look at her, got it?" Tony growls out, removing his hands, and letting the boy escape his spot on the wall.
"Sir." Andy says as the doors unlock and he rushes out of the house.
Margo quickly heads to her room, aiming to avoid confrontation with her father. "Stop." Tony says and Margo stops in the hallway, sighing. "We need to talk. What the hell are you doing with a hickey?"
Margo sighs, rubbing her face. There goes her first boyfriend; he won't be back after that little stunt Tony just pulled.
