Author's note: I realize I'm adding a lot of emotions to Jarvis and they don't seem logical since humor is considered a solely human trait, but just think of C-3PO, he had personality! That and I couldn't bear writing stuff for Paul Bettany without some humor!

PS: I realize that some parts of this narration sound like Harry form Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but I thought it made the narrator sound like she was an actual character in the story, so there! (Laughs maniacally)

Ainsleigh

My contacts tell me Stark has a new prototype android hot off the press. This is my best chance to do what I swore I would do; Kill Tony Stark by any means necessary. My team and I have drawn up plans to capture the prototype and turn it against Stark by reprogramming it's CPU. Knowing Stark, it will be stronger than a human and probably a lot smarter. We'll use that against him.

You may be wondering why I would want to kill Iron Man. He's a hero, and everyone likes heroes. Ha! Tony Stark is no hero. He ruined my life. I'm just returning the favor. You see, when I was 13, I developed the ability to see the future. It was never strong and it was pretty much limited to dreams that happen months later. But it got stronger. It got to the point where I could see about 10 minutes ahead when I was conscious.

That's when Stark's man, Obadiah Stane offered me an education and a future. Not to mention a significant amount of money for my family. We could use it to get out of the dung heap we were living in. I couldn't say no. I wanted my family to be taken care of. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to do that. All I had to do was let them study me and my ability.

What happened was two years of electroshock, sensory and sleep deprivation and various other "treatments." I escaped when I was 15. I killed three of Stane's men that day. By the time I got home, my family was dead. The police said the stove had been pumping gas into the house and no one noticed until it was too late. I was alone.

I heard about the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. It was supposedly some sort of haven for mutants. I would be safe there for a while. That's also where I met Logan, codenamed Wolverine. He taught me how to fight, track and take care of myself. I stayed for a year. I think I would have been happy there if I could've just let go of the past, but I couldn't. I had to go after Stark and Stane. They had destroyed too many lives and I knew they would continue if someone didn't stop them.

Over the next three years I made contact with a number of fellow mutants as well as some sympathetic humans with skills we would need. We've trained and planned day and night and made contact with a number of people on the inside who can help us. We're ready for this. Two days from now, Stark is holding a press conference, announcing the success of his new android technology. We'll be there. We're going to use his creation against him.

Tony has Jarvis and I going through Obadiah Stane's computer files, making sure none of his black projects are still going. The man had tons of them: experiments on human and mutants. We've found a few of these people and Tony says he'll do everything he can to help them, to make it right. I believe him.

We're still trying to track down Ainsleigh Gwyneth MacArthur, though we're not holding out a lot of hope. Stane tried to have her killed several times and took out her family, but couldn't confirm that she was killed. A few times, the operatives never returned.

Jarvis is fairly sure she used her abilities to escape, but something doesn't add up. Stane was only able to boost her abilities a little, not enough for her to be able to predict the attacks and get out of dodge without being caught. The best of the best were after this girl, and they would have had to have found her.

"I believe humans require food from time to time." Jarvis says not bothering to look up from the schematics he's going over.

"Alright, I'll eat, but only if you come with me. I don't want that guy from accounting to bother me in the middle of my chicken chow mein; I hate being interrupted while I'm eating."

"Very well." He says with an exaggerated sigh.

We've been doing that a lot lately. He'll remind me of my need to eat and we'll have lunch and joke about whatever's going on. You've got to hand it to Tony for giving Jarvis a sense of humor; that was probably the hardest programming. People stare at us sometimes because they're not used to seeing an android laugh. He's got a great laugh, too. You know how some people have that fake laugh where it's just in the back of their throat and it doesn't reflect in their body language or eyes? Well Jarvis is totally the opposite. He laughs from the bottoms of his shoes up. Again, way to go Tony for that nifty bit of coding. You know it's strange to think that I'm sitting here, joking around with an android. Even weirder to think that I helped build him.
