Shit. I forgot about Jazz…
WOO HOO. I downloaded the Doctor Who theme onto my iPod. I feel like saving someone from aliens, or traveling to England looking for a certain blue police box….
I'm also going to ask you for one thing.
PLEASE REVIEW.
Anything. I don't care what you say. No...say the most random thing ever. Winner gets a sneak peak!
Pepper stood by what was left of the mansion, along with another red hair teen. Pepper got a call from someone saying Tony would be arriving shortly here, and Jazz demanded to come along. They immediately called Happy, who stood next to the red heads now. They patiently waited, scanning for a sign of the ship.
Why didn't Tony call her? What if he was injured? Dying, maybe even dead? Her breath caught in her throat as a metal ship appeared out of a green portal, and flew towards them. The faithful friends (and maybe more) watched as the ship landed skillfully in front of them. The door opened, revealing Tony and 4 teens. She smiled, thankful the only damage looked to be a cut on his head.
Pepper recognized three of them as Sam, Tucker, and Danny, but the 4th remained unknown.
"Danny!" Jazz yelled, and almost squeezed the poor boy to death. "I was so worried about you."
"Air…" She released the boy, and then demanded to know what happened. The 4 teens then filled Jazz in, and Jazz revealed that Clockwork has rescued her and she had been with Pepper since last night. She laughed when she said Pepper was really surprised to see her at 3 AM… The teens laughed in return.
"Pepper!" Pepper smiled as Tony encircled her in his arms.
"I'm so glad you're ok." She mumbled out, her eyes already watering.
"Its good to have you back, Sir." Happy interrupted the warm loving moment, and the two separated.
"Yes, Thank you, Happy. Kids, come on now. Don't be shy!" Tony joked. The teens groaned in return, and stepped down from the ship.
"Happy, this is Sam, Tucker, Danny, and Danielle, and you already know Jazz."
Happy nodded, surprised at the remarkable resemblance between Danny and Danielle.
"Good, now that everyone is buddy-buddy, we have work to do." Tony turned and faced the mansion, and groaned. "This is going to take awhile to repair. And we need somewhere to stay…" He smiled in his usual cocky way, and dialed Tucker's phone.
SHIELD Headquarters
"Sir, Tony Stark is on the phone for you." The unnamed guard said, then left the office.
Nick Fury grumbled, then put the annoying genius on the screen.
"You're alive. Last I heard you were visiting some parallel universe to rescue a certain ghost teen."
"Did everyone know but me?"
"Now Stark…You obviously called about something you need. Maybe this has something to do with the destroyed Stark Mansion?" Smirking, Fury leaned back in his chair.
"Yeah. I need a favor…"
"Already on it." Fury hung up on the genius, and called for a guard.
"Send out the Stark Package 1B."
"Yes sir!" Saluting, the same unnamed guard left the man alone in his office once more.
Stark Mansion
He sighed at the fact he was just hung up on. But, the package would be here very soon, so that made up for it.
"What was that about Tony?" Pepper asked, and the teens all looked on in question.
"That…was my invention."
"…"
"You'll see." Danny and Danielle both looked up, watching something.
A jet flew into human vision, and out dropped a large box, which fell towards the ground. Danny and Danielle both moved towards the right, and the other teens followed.
Tony, seeing the half ghost teens moving to right, through it would be smart to do as well. He pushed Pepper and Happy out of the way, and hoped they were right.
(Oh crap. Did I just make a pun?)
Seconds later the box fell right where they were standing, with a loud resounding THUD.
Thankful for the hint, Tony moved towards the box, which sprung open.
They watched as Tony fiddled around inside, waiting to see what Tony had come up with.
"This is a little something I created for when this happened." He said, pulled a control box out of the box.
He pulled out 3 large boxes, each a different size. The smallest had STARK printed on the outside, while the others had numbers.
Placing the STARK on the ground, he aimed the control box at it. Pressing a button, the box glowed yellow, and expanded into a large tent. He repeated this with the other ones, each one bigger than the last.
"OK. The biggest is for the girls, the second for the boys, and that's mine."
Tony entered his tent, and the teens followed into the designated tents.
"I call the TV!"
Tucker dibs the large TV, while Danny checked out the beds. It had two large comfortable beds, a small kitchen, bathroom, and TV.
The girl's room had the same thing, except with 3 beds.
Leaving Tuck to check out the TV, he silently turned invisible and phased through the tent, and entered Tony's.
Tony's had an extremely large screen, with various control panels.
"Welcome home Danny." Jarvis' voice rang through the tent, blowing his cover.
Tony turned, but couldn't see Danny, then remembered why.
"Its good to see you to." Danny released his invisibility. "What are these things?"
"These…are my special tents, incase something like this happened. Using a technology created by a friend, I can shrink the entire tent, and expand it. I left a few with SHEILD, and I just call on Fury when I need it."
Danny's eyes were drawn to the screen, which was covered in blueprints.
"And what are you doing now?"
"Designing blueprints for the new house." He quickly added another bedroom, along with a bathroom. The lab size was increased, along with the master bedroom. He increased the strength of the roof, for obvious reasons and added a heli-pad.
With a flick of his hand, the prints vanished.
"I just sent them to my personal house building company." It beeped, and apparently they replied.
"They'll be here in two days. Construction will take approximately… 6 weeks. But I'm going to hire more people, and we can help out. And that doesn't include the new lab. The old one has to come out…" He winked, which worried Danny.
3 Weeks Later
Tony sat in his new lab, in his special blue jumpsuit, grinning at the modernist feel of it. He was installing Jarvis in the wiring in the house, which annoyed Jarvis to no end.
"Upload complete."
"Jarvis! Its good to hear you again. Everything working?"
"I am able to monitor 99 percent of the building, all connections are responding, and I am connected to STARK Industries and your personal files. Mr. Foley's technical security system is working at 100%, and I am detecting Danny and Danielle. I am unable to monitor the master bedroom, and coffee machine does not seem to be responding."
"Mr Foley? Oh god…" At the sound of grinding metal, Tony turned in time to see a certain special car drop a few feet, before stopping. Thankfully.
"Dani! I told you not to drop it." A special white haired teen appeared and had managed to stop the car from free falling without straining, carefully set it down on the lab floor.
"I didn't! It slipped!" Another white hair teen complained as she floated down the giant hole.
"Fine, go get the last one." She huffed, and then floated up into the ceiling.
"How's it going?" Danny asked, seeing Tony messing with some wiring.
"Good. I just need to make the specifications for the car lift, after I fix this shielding flaw."
Danny teleported out of sight, and appeared just in time to catch the free falling car before it hit the ground.
"Dani!"
"Sorry!"
Danny groaned, then phased through the ground. The car lowered and lowered, until its tangible tires hit the ground.
Danny appeared next to the last car, and looked up at the giant gaping hole in the roof.
"So what's the plan for this thing again?"
"I already told you. Since the lab is underground, I need a way to get my cars above ground."
"It's called a garage Tony."
Tony sighed, and then continued. "It's going to by hydraulic lift, which lifts the car above ground."
"And what about that round hole next to it?"
"That's so I can get above ground."
"Ok then…"
"See that thing over there?"
"The big metal hamster tube?"
"Yes, the big metal hamster tube. I want you to attach one end at the roof, and the other right there." He pointed, and Danny nodded.
Danny lifted it, and squeezed it through the hole.
The elevator opened, and out stepped Tucker, Dummy, and Butterfingers.
"Hey Tuck. How's the progress going?"
"Great. Pepper and Jazz are choosing the 'décor' and I've managed to repair Dummy's claw." Dummy beeped in happiness, and then pinched Tucker in the…lower area.
Tony ignored the following high pitched squeal.
Tony rose from his seat, and entered the elevator as Dummy and Butterfingers took their rightful place in the lab, next to the for once quiet Tucker. The doors opened, and sighed.
The room was covered in fashion magazines, with various pages taped around the unpainted room. Pieces of paper with various writings and drawings decorated the room.
He turned to inspect the tube, which stuck out like a sore thumb. He leaned in, noticing a piece of paper was already there.
"Fake fireplace to disguise giant tube thing." He read aloud. "Oh boy." He moved to the left as a worker with metal cans passed by him.
He headed into the Kitchen, and stopped when he realized Sam was ordering them men around.
"Is this recycled metal?"
"No…but."
"Well it should be! Jarvis, add this to your Ultra-Recyclo Vegetarian menu…"
Quickly leaving the room, he headed back towards the lab.
"Jarvis. Ready the Mark 3."
He watched the robotic arms rise from the floor. He stepped into the boots, and felt as the suit was successfully completed.
Testing that everything was working, he took off up through the metal tube.
He stopped in mid air above the mansion, scanning everything. He smirked, remembering what Danny suggested should be added.
"Every mansion needs a star gazing area on the roof."
Glad that everything checked out, he landed back in the lab, and waited as the robots removed the Mark 3.
Pepper awaited him, alone in the lab.
"Hey Pep, how's the decorating going?" Tony joked.
"Well, for your information, Jazz and I have selected the furniture and paint job. Which should be completed in 2 days."
"That's great. The mansion is almost completed." Tony faked enthusiasm.
This perked Pepper's 'Worry Sensor'. "Tony? Is something wrong?"
"…"
"Tony." She said, more stern this time.
"I'm worried."
"About Danny?"
"And his choice. I haven't mentioned it, and he hasn't either. Do you think he'll return home? To his parents that almost killed him?"
"I don't know Tony. It's his choice, and we can't decide it for him. He'll let you know soon enough."
"Thanks Pep." He chuckled once.
"What's so funny?" She asked, curious.
"Something that a friend said. About us." Vague as ever was his answer, it was.
"Us?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Tony… If you're hiding something again…"
"Its nothing! I swear."
"Tony, if you don't tell me right now…"
