"So wait, Tony has an offspring, a daughter at that, and it is not Peppers and he had no idea it existed." Thor's voice boomed through the room.
"She, Thor, not it." Bruce corrected.
"Pepper will not be pleased." Thor finished as he, too, stared at me.
"Ruby-" Clint began as he took a step towards me, but then Tony abruptly dropped the test results and began shaking his head, "I can't do this." He said as he practically ran from the room.
We all watched him leave, and then Clint came up to me, "It's okay, Ruby. This is shocking news for him, he needs time to adjust, that's all."
I brushed my hair back behind my ear, and looked up at him, "Listen, it was nice of you guys to cover for me or whatever, but I can take care of myself, you guys don't have to do this."
"You're only like what, 12, do you even know what taking care of yourself means?" Nick said with a chuckle.
"I'm 16, and yeah I do. I grew up in Brazil, and not the part where you vacation to, the parts they tell you to stay away from. Trust me, I am more than capable of taking care of myself." I snapped back.
"Well, you're not going to" Bruce cut in, "Why don't we find you a place to sleep for tonight, and we will just wait for Tony to get his head together and come back."
"She had no clothes to wear." Thor said, "Don't human girls require the sleep uniforms in order to sleep."
They all looked at each other, they were all men. Grown men. Well, Thor is an alien prince, but same difference. "I can call Nat, I'm sure she can help get her some clothes." Clint said.
"Whoa, whoa wait, are you sure we should do that, this is Tony's personal life here. Don't you think it's not our place to tell Natasha?" Bruce said.
"Not your place to tell Natasha what?" I turned to see Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame. "I just passed Tony as he ran out of here so fast his feet were barely even touching the ground. What's going on here?" She finished as she turned her eyes on me, looking me up and down before turning back to the room of uncomfortable men.
"Tony has an offspring, Ruby, and it- she- is not Pepper's and he had no idea she existed." Thor said as he pointed at me.
Natasha's eyes got wide as she stared at me, looking me over again, "Is the Asgardian prince right?" She asked, her voice slightly breathless.
"Yes." Bruce said, "He is right. This is Ruby Stark, Tony's daughter. Social Services just brought the DNA test to prove it."
"She needs clothes." Nick Fury said, "And Tony isn't capable of helping with that right now, so could you-"
"Yeah, I have some clothes that would probably fit, atleast to get you through tonight. I will take you shopping tomorrow." Her voice was hesitant, I knew she just wanted me to go away so that they could all talk about me.
"Let's get you to a room, and Natasha will bring you those clothes." Clint said.
He took me to a room with a bed in the middle of the room against a far wall, a TV, a bathroom, and a dresser, and he just left me there, assuring me he would be right back.
I flopped onto the bed- it was the most comfortable thing I had ever laid on. I felt the tears swell up in my eyes and run down my cheeks. Tony Stark couldn't even remember my mother, and yet she had died for the seed he put inside of her- because he lied to her about love. He lied just to get my mom in bed, and she died thinking he only ever thought of her, that he loved her eternally. But it was all a lie.
