Chapter 2

Tony was staring at the house in front of him. It looked cozy and more like home. He could understand why she chose such a place to stay. She was Indian Royalty but she never boasted about it. Instead, she loathed it.

Ri saw a car pull into the driveway in front of her house. She saw a man step out of it. She recognized who he was. "Pa" she whispered.

She dashed out of her room. That was when she heard her mother cough. She knew her mother wasn't feeling well so she finally gave up being angry with her. She went to her in the kitchen to see blood on the sink.

"Ma" she gasped. She saw her mother fall to the ground.

As Tony was about to press the caller, the door flew open and a raven haired teenage girl caught his arms and dragged him in. The girl looked a lot like him.

"Please save her. "

She dragged him to the kitchen of the house. There he saw Durga's limp body. He scooped her up in his arms and took her to the car. The girl followed him. He didn't know what to do. He heard the girl say something to the driver. All he could catch was Medical College RCC. That's when he saw her clutching a strip of tablet.

Tony's POV

"Vincristine," the girl told me.

I was shocked. She was having cancer. We reached the hospital after going through a hell of by roads. When they had taken her to the ICU I turned to see the girl talking to a doctor and showing her the tablet and saying something in a language I knew wasn't Hindi. I saw the doctor pat her shoulder and spoke to her pointing at me.

"He is Ma's friend".

The doctor gave me a wry smile and went into the ICU.

The next thing I knew was that the girl, no, my daughter, slid down the wall she was leaning to. She started to cry sitting there on the floor. I sat down near to her and threw my arm around her and held her close to me. She wrapped her hand around me and cried.

"She didn't even give a clue. And I was so mean to her".

I didn't know what exactly I should say to her. I lifted her and carried her to a bench nearby. We waited there.

Just then a nurse came out and called out something I heard Durga Rajput in it that and stood up.

"Excuse me Could you repeat what you said?" I asked her.

"The patient wishes to see her daughter"

"Rhea, kiddo, your mom wants to see you."She sniffled and looked at me.

We both entered the room. Durga was under external support.

"Ma I am sorry." She cried.

"It's ok honey.

"Tony ". That was when she saw me

"Durga."

"Promise me you will be with her"

"Yes I promise"

"Rhea, I am happy that you are safe."

The doctor came in

"Mr. Stark Miss Rajput Please move out" he requested.

Third person POV

Rhea was staring out of the window. She remembered the times she walked through the road that bordered the garden with her Ma. Then she sensed her dad near her. "She worked here ".

"Mmm. Maybe we should go for a walk."

"But Ma."

"Don't worry kiddo she is going to be there"

"No, I am not coming." She told him defiantly. Tony was surprised. "I am not an idiot.I know well that she is not going to make it through tonight. I want to be near her. Please."

Tony felt this girl was far more precocious than he thought. She was more mature than other teens of her age.

"Ri" he heard a boy call out down the hallway Rhea turned. Her eyes widened with surprise.

A/N: I am planning to skip to Avengers straight away. But I will post one shots of Ironman and Rhea's Interactions with Steve later. I am open to suggestions.
