Chapter 9(:

Enjoy lots(:

Disclaimer: I own Sarah and Kara. Thats it! Everyone else belongs to Stan Lee. Not me. Sadly D:

Tony had been in the air for about 10 minutes when his cell phone rang. He checked his screen and saw that it was an unknown number. Normally he would ignore them, but something told him that he should answer this.

"Yellow." he said when he answered.

"Where are you!" came a voice that belonged to none other then the person he was trying to get away from. Sarah.

"Oh hey Sarah." he was annoyed, and hoped that if he sounded like he didn't care, she would just leave him alone.

"Don't 'Hey Sarah' me. You were supposed to wait in the waiting room!" She sounded pissed. If she was anything like her mother when she got mad, Tony was gonna be far away when she exploded.

"Well I didn't. Get over it" he responded. Who did she think she was? Trying to boss him around like this. She was not his wife.

"Wow." Sarah said, Tony could the tears in her voice, and he instantly felt bad, maybe he was being slightly harsh. "I trusted you to wait for 20 minutes and you couldn't even do that. Not even for your own daughter. Mom said you would do this. Ignore me and only care about yourself, but I wanted to come meet you. I was insistent. I begged and pleaded with her to tell me who my real father was. Who had given me half of my DNA. I wanted to meet the man who gave me life. Obviously that was a bad idea." She said, and he felt terrible.

"Wait Sarah-" he began so he could attempt to make amends, but she cut him off.

"No Tony. Don't talk to me." and she hung up on him. He felt a pang of guilt in his chest. He could almost feel her pain. He knew what it was like to be ignored and let down by a father. He needed to figure out a way to make it up to her.

"Sir," JARVIS said interrupting his thoughts, "I suggest you start with arranging a way for her to get home" he said, as if reading Tony's mind.

"Thanks JARVIS, call the tower"

Tony waited, the phone rang 4 times before someone picked up.

"Stark Towers, Tony Stark's office, Steve Rodgers speaking, How can I help you?"

"Why does everyone answer my phone like that?" Tony asked, it was weird and too professional "No one calls except for us" he said

"Sorry Tony, It's how you told us to answer the phone"

"Well... Stop, it's weird"

"Then how do you want us to answer?"

"I'm not sure.. Just make it more.. Pizazzy"

"Pizazzy?"

"You heard me." Tony replied "But that's not why I called. I need you to stop at the hospital and pick up Sarah"

"Aren't you supposed to be there with her?"

"Yeah.. But some stuff happened so I need you to go pick her up"

"How am I supposed to get there and what about your car?"

"Wow you ask a lot of questions" Tony sighed, if he wasn't flying he would probably be rubbing his temples right now. "Take the bus. Or walk. And then take my car home, if you take the bus I'll pay you back" he said and then hung up before Steve had a chance to say no. Besides, Steve was a good guy, he would go get her. Hopefully.

He called back.

"What?" Steve said as he answered.

"Okay, that was just mean. Not Pizzazy." Tony said. "And I just wanted to make sure you were going to get her."

"Of course I am. Now bye" Steve said as he hung up. Jeez, some one is cranky, Tony thought.

Tony kept flying in circles, he just needed to clear his mind. He had probably been flying for 2 hours, he was flying at a relatively slow speed, so he really wasn't all that far from the city.

"JARVIS, what time is it?"

"About 5:30"

I should probably head back soon, Tony thought to himself.

He no sooner turned around that his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and noticed that Natasha was calling him.

"Yes?" he said, answering the phone

"Tony, do you happen to know where Steve and Sarah are?" She said. He could tell from her voice that she was trying to hide her worry.

"You worried something happened?" he asked. They should be fine, it would take something strong to take out Steve.

"Yes. Steve could be in trouble."

"What about Sarah?" Tony asked. They still had to make sure she was ok. Tony was still having a hard time believing her without some real proof. Like a blood test or DNA test. But the more he flew around, the more he accepted that she was probably telling the truth.

"Don't tell me you've already grown soft on her? Your hatred has already melted away?" she said

"Of course not. But we were still assigned to protect her so protecting her we shall do." he responded.

"Fine. But get back here so we can try and figure out were they are"

"Roger that" Tony said, he put the accelerators on turbo and zoomed back to the city.

He arrived back at the tower within about 45 minutes. He landed on the roof and JARVIS began to remove the armor. Once it was all off, he walked into the kitchen of the Pent House that the Avengers all shared.

"Still no word from them?" he asked

"None." Clint said.

"Did any of you guys try and call them?" Tony asked

"Steve doesn't have a phone and nobody knows Sarah's number"

"JARVIS, find the car" Tony instructed the AI.

"Sorry sir, Sarah has disabled me in the car"

Tony looked at his team. "They don't want to be found. Or at least Sarah doesn't, but they'll be back"

"How can you be so sure?" Natasha said. "Steve could be hurt!" she yelled.

"So could Sarah.." Tony said, reminding her that there was someone else in the car. Natasha rolled her eyes. "Besides, even of JARVIS is disconnected, I have a Crash Sensor, If anything terrible happened to the car, meaning indirectly them, then we would know."

"As long as your sure that they're okay."

"Yeah.. I'm sure" Tony said "Or like.. 95% sure"

"Go look for them." Natasha growled at him.

"Ahh. No. I'd like the meet the mugger who can take down Steve Rogers. Calm down and chill out. I'll make you a drink." Tony said walking over to his bar. She glared at him for a second, huffed and then stormed out of the room. Clint and Bruce who had been sitting there quietly looked at Tony like "What do we do about her?" Tony shrugged.

"Just give her some space. I suggest we just wait till the other two get back, if their not back by say... Nine o'clock, I'll go find them." Tony said plopping down on the couch.

As much as he tried to calm himself down, by 7:30 Tony was pacing by the door. Maybe Natasha had been right. Maybe something had happened to them. They should've been back by now.

"Tony, stop pacing. Your gonna wear down a path in the floor. You said it yourself, their fine" Bruce said.

"I know.. I just can't stop worrying. I mean Sarah is my.." he stopped what he was saying. If he said it out loud, it would make it official. It would mean that he is accepting the truth. He swallowed "She's my daughter" he confessed. Clint and Bruce looked at Tony in surprise.

"What!" Clint yelled. "She's your daughter? How the..?" he trailed off in surprise.

"Her mom is Pepper.. That's why she left all those years ago. She was pregnant with Sarah and didn't trust me around a child."

Clint snorted "I don't blame her" Tony glared at him. "Hey! It's not my fault that your a little careless and immature"

"True.." Tony admitted at he flopped onto the couch. "They need to be home soon" he said and he sighed. Just then they heard the elevator ding and out stepped Steve and Sarah laughing and eat ice cream.

Tony jumped up "Where have you been!" he said pointing at them

"Oh hey Tony" Sarah replied, her mood instantly darkening. She finished the little bit of ice cream she had left and turned to go into her room.

"Hey! Get back here!" Tony yelled at her retreating figure.

"No. Now you know what it's like to be worried when you don't know where someone is." She said over her shoulder.

"Yes I've learned my lesson. Come down here."

"Uhh.. No." she said, continuing on her way to her room.

"We need to discuss this." Tony said.

"Maybe later. I have important things to do"

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

"I'll find something important to do"

Tony was getting frustrated. They needed to get some of the minor details smoothed out.

"Young lady! I order you to get down here right now!" he yelled and she spun around and glared at him. If looks could kill, you'd be sweeping up my ashes, Tony thought. She walked up to him until she was right in his face.

"You order me? Oh no. You don't abandon me in the hospital and then expect me to come back here and run into your open arms. Your going to have to prove to me that you actually care now. Prove to me you actually have a heart that this thing needs to be protecting." She said, pointing at his arc reactor. "You may be my Father but you are no Dad to me." She growled at him. She then spun back around and walked up to her room.

Her words stung him. "You may be my father, but you are no dad to me." They kept repeating in his head. He looked at the other guys. They had been watching the conversation between the two of them.

"Never have kids." Tony said, groaning as he sat down on the couch.

Ooooh so now the whole team other then Natasha knows Tony's little secret. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter (: Reviews are loved and cherished :3
