Here it is chapter 7, hope you enjoy it.

P.S. Last chapter I wrote about being a crossover with Spider-man; I want to clarify that it will be with the movie Spider-Man 2, and it will be with that one just for the mere fact that Harry is alive in this one.

Chapter 7

"Dad?" I can't believe it.

"Hello Darla" He says when I reach the lobby.

"What are you doing here?"

"I had a meeting with the governor and-"I interrupted him.

"The Governator?" My dad had a meeting with him?

"Yes him, so I had a meeting with him and I thought I could see you before I head back to D.C."

"How?" Me no comprende.

"Well, you left me a message you were coming and staying here"

"But I didn't thought you actually do something about it"

"Well I'm here, so let's take a drive shall we?"

"Okay"

This is one of the few things dad and I do together: just drive around in the limo, looking at the ocean. Except that in New York you really have to drive to get to a place where there's no traffic and you can actually see the ocean. We used to do this when he would pick me after school, we would sometimes buy a Famous Star and eat it while we listen to the radio. But then again, I was ten years old back then. Things changed when dad had to move to D.C. and I decided to stay behind, I couldn't leave New York, my friends are here, Harry's here. Dad didn't really mind; as long as I lived with Norman and Harry everything was cool. It didn't really matter anyway, I stayed at the penthouse where we lived, which I'm still living in, I mean, Norman didn't even notice, except when dad called and remembered him.

"How's photography?" My dad asks, bringing me back to the present.

"Fun"

"You're the first person I know who says they're job is fun"

"What can I say? I'm lucky" Then I remembered something. "You didn't go to the gala" After all, he's the reason why I went.

"I couldn't make it, my flight got delayed, then canceled; I landed yesterday afternoon. Was it boring?" Well…

"Not much"

"Did you meet someone interesting?" He asks looking ahead.

"Well, this is L.A. everybody's interesting" He chuckles.

"Nothing caught your attention?"

"The open bar?" Where is he heading with this?

"So I shouldn't worry to see a picture of you with Tony Stark on yesterday's paper?" He says finally looking at me.

My eyes got wide and I'm desperately trying to shrink myself until I'm the size of a smurf. "This is so embarrassing" I said looking down.

"I had to hear it from the governator" He said handing me the newspaper. "Which do you think is more embarrassing?" He has a point.

II looked at the paper. Damn it! They used the picture where I'm leading Tony away from Christine. This doesn't look good. "I can explain"

"Please do"

"I was doing him a favor, like community service; I was saving him from evil" Dad looks at me weirdly. "Okay, so maybe I was just leading him away from a really bad person"

"Your mother?"

"A reporter"

"Right. But nothing else happened?"

"Nothing" And he hasn't called. He left a note but… Damn it, he doesn't have my phone-What the hell am I thinking?

"So, how much longer are you staying?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow"

"Did you reserve your plane ticket?"

"Crap!"

So here I am walking down L.A. after dad drop me off on the travel agency and I told him I could go back to the hotel on my own. I would hire an assistant to do this for me, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of someone following me all the time. Talking about assistant, let's call Pepper.

"Pepper Potts" She answered.

"Hi, this is Darla. Why didn't you tell me there was a picture of me and Tony in the newspaper?"

"I-I thought you already knew, and since you didn't say anything about it I thought you wanted to ignore it"

"Well I didn't know and I had to find out from my dad!"

"Sorry"

"I'm more, but at least I'm heading home tomorrow"

"You are?"

"Yeah, I'll tell you at what time but…"

"You think Tony will find out"

"Sorry"

"I guess I deserve it"

"Nothing personal"

"I know"

"Bye"

"Bye, see you soon"

What time is it? I looked down at my cell phone; 7:35. Wow, my dad and I don't talk much, but when we do, we make up for the lost time.

I'm hungry. This time, dad didn't take me to Carl's Jr.

I look around; I'm on a commercial street, full of stores and fast food restaurants.

Ooh, Burger King!

From where I'm standing, the drive thru is the closest of the place, but I don't have a car. What the hell, I'll order on the drive thru, there are no cars waiting.

"Welcome to Burger King, what would your order be?" The thing said.

"I want a whopper with cheese, you know the whole combo, with the soda and fries"

"Your soda, of what flavor will it be?"

"A coke, I guess" A car honks behind me. I turn around and see it's a silver car, thanks to its lights I can see it's an Audi. "I'm moving, I'm moving" And I went to the next window.

"You're not driving" Said the BK guy when I arrive.

"No shit, how much is it?"

"Cars only"

"To late for that, how much?"

The guy is about to tell me when the silver Audi almost runs me over. "Hey!" I yelled. "Watch it!"

"Why aren't you a normal person and order inside" The driver said while getting out of the car.

"Why aren't you-"Wait. "Tony Stark?"

Hope you like it.

Also, it's weird that I write about burgers when I just ate tacos.
