I was in the car waiting for Dad to come back after he walked into the building. My mind racing at the thought of finally getting to meet and talk to my mother. Although, I couldn't help but wonder, if she was my mother why didn't she want me. My thoughts were left there as Dad got into the car.

" So, I guess Obadiah's pissed,'' I said looking at him. He nodded sadly in response, I still didn't understand why he trusted him so much.

" I just want to do what's best, I want you to not have deal with a body count, and I want to be held accountable for everything,'' He said as sadness and honesty dripped from his words, " I just want to do the right thing now for once.''

I laughed absentmindedly, " Better late than never right," He laughed with me understanding that I was with him, " If we're gonna do this you're gonna need more than just me,'' he nodded and told Happy to drive to the house. Pepper went back to the house with Rhodey and I was left with Dad and Happy. The car took forever all I wanted to do was go home. As much as I loved him I was physically and mentally exhausted

" G, whenever you're ready come down to the lab,'' He said descending the stairs of the mansion to get to the lab. I nodded and went upstairs to change.

" Miss, It's great to see you back,'' Jarvis said happily as I walked into my room.

" Nice be back J,'' I said back just as happy. I took my jacket and tank top off and threw on my Dad'd Black Sabbath t-shirt before going down stairs. I was walking down to the lab when I bumped into Roxy. She stumbled but straightened up soon after.

" Sorry,'' I said quickly fixing my outfit.

She brushed herself off and looked at me, " It's fine. Really," her words softened when she finally really looked at me.

" Um.. I'm supposed to go to the lab when I was ready,'' I said not wanting to talk to her.

She nodded her head, " Your Dad, actually, just asked me to come down there.''

I was taken aback by this, " Oh, well we could go down together. I not really allowed down their by myself.''

She nodded and I grabbed her hand. She smiled down at me as we walked.

" Roxy!'' Dad yelled form the lab, " Is G, with you?''

" Yeah! Why?!'' She asked looking down at me confused.

He sighed but replied, " G, I need you wait at the top if the stairs for a few minutes.''

Gia stomped up the steps and sat at the top like she was told.


Roxy's POV:

I walked into the lab the rest of the way. I looked at Tony laying on a chair with wide eyes.

" Hold your hands up,'' he ordered. I did and he nodded, " Very small, very petite.''

" Tony, why is Gia not allowed down here right now?'' I asked walking closer. I stopped when I saw the miniature reactor, " Oh my God! Tony why am I here?''

" Because I need to put a new reactor in. Pepper isn't here, and I'd rather not scar my four year old,'' He said as quickly as I asked.

I sighed agreeing with his response. I looked up at him and wonder again why he need my help.

" I got a little snag, so I need you to help,'' Tony answered my unasked question.

I nodded and walked over to the chair, " Two things first, when we're done you let me actually talk to her,'' I said and nodded, " and second is this safe?''

" Yeah, completely safe. Just like Operation,'' He said setting down the new reactor.

" Okay.''


Gia's POV:

I hated being left out of things especially when it involved something in the lab. I sat at the top of the steps for what seemed like ages. I kept asking Jarvis when I could down and all he replied was not yet. Why did Dad have to be the main programmer for that AI?

" J, can I come down now?'' I asked in my whiniest voice.

Jarvis sighed, " I will check miss.''


Roxy's POV:

" Sir, Miss, wants to know if she is allowed down yet?'' Jarvis said quiet irritated

" She is very stubborn,'' I said looking at Tony, " Like someone else I know.''

" Yeah, she can some down, " Tony said handing me rag. I took it and wiped my hands off. I saw dirty fly by the window and I turned right as she entered.

Gia jumped up onto one of the bar stool Tony had and sat down. She sat their with her arms crossed pouting.

" Are really mad at me?'' Tony asked her. She didn't answer all she did was turn in her chair. He groaned in frustration at the young girl in the lab. I looked at at him and gave him a pleading look. He nodded and began to walk away.

" I'm gonna go get a drink,'' he walked up the steps and shouted down, " don't kill each other.''

She turned around to face me, " so you're my Mom. What about it?'' she said like it meant nothing.

" I want to tell you why I wasn't around," I stated getting her attention, " I just got into the Marines when I had you. I knew would need someone who would be there for you.''

She laughed at that, " so we couldn't be like a normal military family?'' she asked me sarcastically.

" You were already Tony Stark's daughter. I didn't want to add to it,'' I pleaded now wanting to be apart of her life.

She sighed, " Well I'm young, and you're kind of young,'' she said causing me to laugh, " We could try to be a family.''

" Okay. But you tell your Father,'' she nodded and gave me hug. I smiled and looked down at her.
