Chapter 2

What am I doing here? Steve asked himself. Howard probably doesn't even live here anymore. he glanced up at the building. Stark Tower. Okay Howard probably still lived here. He rang the doorbell. Several minutes passed. Maybe he's not home I'll come back later. Thought Captain America. Just as he turned to leave the door opened. It wasn't Howard.

"Can I help you?" asked the woman standing at the door. Steve's opened his mouth and closed it again. She was quite beautiful. Her hair was messy and brown. Her brown eyes deep dark and mysterious. Short, and muscular. She was unusual thought. There were bags under her eyes, and a faint blue glow from her shirt.

"Is Howard Stark here?" he asked nervously. He thought he saw a flicker of sadness in her eyes, but decided he must have imagined it because the woman gave a harsh laugh.

"Sorry Capsicle you missed him, he's been dead for a while."

'shoot' thought Captain America, his heart sinking but all he said was,

"Oh, who are you?"

"Toni, Toni Stark." Tony what an unusual name for a girl, wait did she say Stark?

'Stark?"

"Yeah Stark, now is there anything else I can help you with because I honestly do not like you and I have things to do."

Wow, fiery thought Captain America, but I need a place to stay.

"Just read this," he said shoving the letter into her hands. She stared down at it with raised eyebrows.

"Come in," she said opening the door wider. Her house was very nice and Steve sat awkwardly on the couch, as she read the letter. Her face showed no emotion, but the crease between her eyebrows became more defined. Captain America wanted to reach over and smooth the crease out with his thumb. To hug her and tell her everything would be okay... wait what was he thinking? He had just met her. Besides she looked like the kind of person who knew twenty different ways to kill you with a spoon. The woman sighed and put the letter down on the coffee table.

"So you need a place to stay?"

"Uh, yeah it just for a couple of weeks."

"Fine," Steve grinned. Yes! He thought. He grabbed her hand and shook it.

"Thank You so much!"

"Yeah, yeah let me show you to your room."
