The night had been spent reading all the files Tony had received, as well as being told what the Avengers were supposed to have been. Tony also explained that after he revealed himself as Iron Man, he was considered as a potential member.
"But because of how you were acting around the time of the Stark Expo when you were dying due to palladium poisoning, you were deemed unfit?" Her brows furrowed once he had laid everything out for her.
"Pretty much sums it up."
"I don't get how the Iron Man suit could be accepted, but not you." she looked off to the side as she absently toyed with the fork in her hand. "I mean, that's like saying the sleigh and reindeer are real, but not Santa."
When she turned to face her father again, Kagome chuckled sheepishly and ducked her face to hide her blush at the questioning look from Tony. "Sorry, it's all that came to mind."
"I don't like being compared in any way to old fat men, but I get what you're trying to saying." he forked another mouthful of the food Kagome had cooked for them early that morning.
First a late supper, then a midnight snack, and now breakfast. If there was another thing to love about his daughter, it was her cooking. She could put the best chefs to shame; in fact he had stopped ordering in, as Kagome had taken to cooking their meals ever since she'd moved in with them.
"At least we're on the same page then. So what are you going to do then? About this whole... Avengers thing?"
Pausing in his breakfast, he turned to the few simple files that were still displayed. The one thing that worried him was this Tesseract. History proved that people shouldn't have such power sources in their hands. What was even more upsetting was that it was missing.
AN: And so... it begins with Tony feeling troubled. And now I'm out of Arizona Green Tea. Read, enjoy, and review!
