Of course, he's late. Rodey was pacing in the jet as I was working on the plan for the demonstration. When Tony took over the company, he made me the chief weapons tester. He had promised it to me when I went into the army even thought he was mad at me for it.

He knew when I was to ship out. But did he even try to see me? No, he was who knows were with god knows who in truth it broke my heart. But It didn't take long for him to see he had missed seeing me off. So, in a true Stark fashion he made it to my graduation from training and threw a huge party on the base. To which the Army let him.

So, when my contract was finished Tony gave me a blank contact as the weapons tester for Stark industry's. I had unlimited access to everything and everyone. I could even sit in on board meetings if I wanted. But I let Tony handle that while I stayed with weapons testing. Which is why I'm on the jet waiting for Tony to show up now.

"Where is he at?"

"just call Pepper"

"he should have been here already"

"Rodey just call her"

"fine ill call her"

Next thing I knew I could hear two cars pull up. He was racing Happy agine. Quickly covering up my smile just as Tony came on board.

"Lilly tell him were waiting on him now"

"Tony, we have been waiting for hours. So blond or red head"

"blond, but who knows maybe one day it will be a brown-haired beauty"

"will you two stop flirting and just marry each other."

turning to Rodey I just started laughing.

"ya, sure when he can fly"

"speaking of flying shouldn't we be taking off already?"

Rodey was watching as Tony went to the pilot then turned to her which meant here comes the lecture now.

"you know he dose love you, right?"

"One its Tony and two just because we love each other doesn't mean they are meant for each other."

As much as I hated saying that I had to. I know I can't be with Tony no matter how much I love him.

"but"

"alright let's eat, Lilly drink?"

"no, I'm good"

About an hour latter Rodey was drunk and Tony was watching the flight attendants dance on a pole. Which reminded me why I hated flying with him sometimes.

"really Tony, and yet Rodey wonders why were not together."

"well I have a soul mark and you don't."

Wait what, I looked at him shocked since I had seen him naked a few times. with out meaning to of course. But I had never seen his mark.

"don't worry aunt Peggy told me to never tell were it is or what it is"

"funny she told me the same"

I had to get way before he started asking agine. And knowing him he might just start trying to find it.

…

"wait what?"

She had already walked away. Aunt Peggy told her not to tell which meant she did have one. Great now I had to rethink about what i saw when we were kids.

….

During the presentation I just watched as they launched the Jericho missile after Tony gave his speech. Oh, I hated that thing but due to the current war it was needed. Fighting in the mountains had cost to many lives already. Hopefully this would help end this war.

When I looked at Tony as he walked by the wind was blowing his hair way from his right ear. And that's when I got a glimpse of a circle with a lily in the center. No, it can't be, he can't have the same mark as me. Tony's my soulmate!

"see something you like?"

I had to recover fast or who knows what could happen.

"when we get home, I think we need to have a long talk"

I was following him as he climbed into a Humvee when he shut the door in my face.

"I'm sorry this one is full"

Oh, if only I could hit him right now but instead, I got in the Humvee with Rodey. Which was a decision that would latter save my life.

During the ambush all I wanted was to get to Tony. And you could see the same want in his eyes, but we couldn't reach each other. Rodey was coving me as Tony yelled at him to get me out of there. But I blacked out when I was hit by an explosion that came from behind us.

When I woke up at the base hospital all I wanted was Tony, but he had been taken. My injuries weren't too bad, but my back would be forever scared from the shrapnel that hit me. Returning home without Tony was what almost killed me.

I Never left the lab and lived off coffee for three months. I had every contact I ever had and even a few of Gramps getting me intel to put together to find him. Jarvis was monitoring a program I had designed to hack and receive all sat footage from the areas we were in.

The lawyers tried to get me to declare him dead since he had made me his next of kin. I never knew that Tony had made a will that clearly stated that I would get everything including Stark Industries. But I can't and won't do it I know he is alive.

"come on there has to be something? Jarvis how much longer can we keep the sat over the region?"

"Mrs. heart?"

"Jarvis please don't, I know Tony did that as a joke but please not now"

"very well, but there has been an explosion in the western region."

"show me"

The sat picked a heat signature leaving a massive explosion. Tony it had to be only he could make that kind of exit. After all he is a Stark.

"get this to Rodey NOW!"

"yes mam."

"just hold on Tony, please just hold on."
