Felicity left Bucky's room after a few more hours of hanging out, even if she was now just purely sexually frustrated. She knew he found it amusing.

The rest of the day would be chaos for her, she needed to help pepper with organising tonight's event and making sure the venue was prepared, along with getting herself ready and making sure she had enough information on people and that a speech was prepared.

Felicity probably had the quickest shower of her life, grabbed the hangers that had her clothes for tonight and ran out of her room in joggers and a vest. She had her heels in one hand for tonight and she was so happy she was in trainers now. She could see happy waiting for her by the entrance of the headquarters. "You're gonna be late" he called out to her laughing as he saw her rushing.

"Yeah, Yeah, blame Tony and Rhodey! They're the ones whose caused this terrible hangover" she called out to him. As she reached him he took her bags and shoes and put them carefully in the car. Felicity made her way towards the car and she could see pretty much everyone else hanging out outside enjoying the sun. Tony and Rhodey were stood up chatting to the group. Felicity caught Tony's eye and he grinned as he saw her, "I hope that's not what you're wearing tonight!" His comment caused everyone to turn around to look at her.

"Nah, I have black plastic sac to wear!" She called out, "and you" she pointed towards Rhodey "are not my friend"

Rhodey laughed, "not my fault you can't keep up with the adults" he gestured and felicity rolled her eyes before getting into the car.

Later...

"No, this needs to go there" felicity told the staff at the venue. Felicity had ordered pepper to go home, she looked exhausted and she knew if she was going to make it to tonight she would need to rest. The caterer gave her the menu and felicity looked through it, "yeah that's fine" she told him. Four hours passed and felicity gave instruction after instruction. She altered the decor and gave criticism for changes. Once everything was done she looked around and it was perfect, thank god she thought.

Felicity checked the time and she had a hour to get ready before guests would start to arrive. She slipped into one of the spare rooms and changed into her long red dress, it was backless and it clung to her curves in all the right places. She did her make up and once she was finished, she checked herself over in the mirror one last time. She put her hair up loosely so some of fell down and the rest was up in some sort messy bun.

She left the room with her purse in hand. Felicity could see Tony and pepper greeting guests, she assumed they got hear half hour early. They would need to put on a good show as this would officially be the night that the world would know iron man was retiring and that he would be a father. Stark industries would be entering a new era of felicity stark takin over the reigns even if it was on a temporary basis. The press conference that was held almost a month ago was long forgotten and it was the real chance for her to schmooze with the big dogs. Felicity could see that Bucky, Steve, Wanda, Natasha, Steve, Sam, Bruce and Rhodey were all talking to who she knew were the other members of the avengers - Clint and Thor. They hadn't yet seen her, which kind of made her feel relieved as if they had called her over she would have just spent the whole night with them and in her comfort zone.

She did her usual greets to the guests in the venue. After a few hours she needed a drink. Felicity went over to the bar and she was standing next to a older guy with grey hair and glasses. The bartender had just finished serving him and turned to her, "can I have a scotch please..." she asked, after a few seconds "make it a double too. Thank you" She smiled at him when he passed her the drink.

Felicity could see the guy looking at her with amusement, "I've spent two hours mingling with people. This is well needed." She smiled at the man who then laughed at her comment.

"I will toast to that" he raised his glass to hers and she did the same and with a clink or their glasses, "I'm Dr Hank Pym"

Felicity knew the name well, she was very aware of the work he had been part of. "Felicity" she introduced herself, purposely leaving out the name stark. "I must say Dr Pym, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've read all about your research."

"Ah, I'm flattered" he smiled at her, "how are you finding the event?"

"It's a bit dull" felicity told him honesty, "I'm still waiting for the usual stark flare from Tony."

Hank chuckled at her comment, "yes, Tony stark is one for dramatics. I believe he inherited it from Howard." Felicity nodded, she was very aware of the charisma they had with the media and when it came to putting on a show.

Within minutes of their discussion on atomic studies, Tony hit the stage with his speech. Of course he roared the crowds on. "There's the flare you were talking about" Hank whispered to her.

Felicity smiled at his comment, "I assume you do not approve of his techniques"

Hank hmm'd. "I didn't trust his father and I for one do not trust him." Felicity nodded at his statement.

"I for one, don't blame you so to speak. I read you were a founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D and I saw how well that turned out, let alone the amount of times Tony's weapons fell into the wrong hands." Hank looked at her obviously impressed, "but if I remember correctly there was a time that your technology almost fell into the wrong hands. Perhaps a partnership would be ideal? But perhaps not with him." She chuckled.

Hank nodded, "yes, but I do not see him stepping down any time soon"

"...so with all due respect, I would like to announce that Pepper and I are expecting a underoo. She will be stepping down as CEO from tonight." There was murmurs now going though the room, "also after the recent events, I will be retiring as iron man. I will be helping with the training of our new recruits." The room gasped in shock. Felicity stood there watching as Tony was able to calm down the room. "So with the changing of the futures, I would like to ask my sister to step up here as she will now be the current CEO of stark industries." The room was now filled with murmurs of who his sister was and was it the same girl from the press conference earlier that month. She could hear reporters talking about how they didn't know there was another stark child. "Felicity" Tony said, "step right up."

Felicity turned to hank, "like I said, team up would be amazing and as you can see I'm not Tony." She winked at him as she walked up to the podium.
