Thanks to Everyone who Reviewed on the last chapter! :D

Chapter 10 :3

Sarah slammed the door to her room. She was so mad. She didn't care that she was acting like a child.

Tony expected her to just come running into his open arms like all of his little girl friends. She was not like that and she never would be.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe he was going to apologize? Sarah thought to her self. No.. She thought. And then again, Tony was not one to apologize. He was just going to make her want to yell again.

She was so frustrated with him. They had a very Bi-Polar relationship. One minute it was fine, the next they were yelling and insulting each other. She couldn't tell if she was mad at him, or if she was on an okay basis with him. She hated it. All she had wanted when she came here was for her father to accept her.

Growing up without a father had been harder for her then it probably was for other kids in one parent homes. As a child she had always just wanted normalcy in her life. She was a genius after all, and she had been picked on until she was 12, when she finally learned to stand up for herself, but by then it was too late. She was already in college and taking her classes online so she didn't have to interact with other kids. When she had been picked on, the one thing she had wished for the most is a daddy who would come and beat up all the bullies for her. As she got older, she just wanted a father to be her rock. To help her in her times of need. For example, the first time her programs had gotten a virus and everybody started saying how she had lied. How they were supposed to be anti-virus, and she just sat there and watched her sales drop. If Tony had been around, he would've helped her up, maybe even helped her reprogram the software so that it really did block all viruses. She had always wished for the same thing on her birthday when blowing out the candles.

It hadn't come true until her 22 birthday when her mom finally told her who her dad was and how she could find him. It had taken over a month for S.H.I.E.L.D. to get back in touch with her, and then another month for her to be ready to come live with them. Now that she was here, it stressed her out to have such an unstable relationship with her father. He needed to prove that he was willing to try for her, and so far he had done nothing but fail in the "Dad" department.

She needed to get rid of some stress but She only had two stress relievers. One was building things and with Tony being down stairs there was no way she would be able to get to the workshop without having to confront him again. So she'd have to settle for her second, but not nearly as efficient stress reliever, Music. She usually used music when she was nervous or worried. But it would work to relieve stress too.

She knew that Tony had a grand piano in the living room that she had been itching to get her hands on and play for the past two days, but hadn't had the time.

"JARVIS, where is Tony?" Sarah asked. If he was still in the kitchen she might be able to get there without him noticing.

"He has gone to his bedroom." he responded.

"Thanks" she could've gone to the workshop, but she had already decided to go to the piano.

She quietly opened her door and walked down the stairs. Once she was down there, she noticed that Steve, Bruce, and Clint were all still in the kitchen. She guessed that Steve had probably heard her, with his super human speed, strength, and reaction time, she only guessed that his senses, like hearing and sight, had been heighten too. She had guessed also that Clint's spy training had probably

informed him that she was there. She was grateful when neither of them acknowledged her.

She walked over to the piano. It was a beautiful instrument. She set her fingers down on the keys and gently pressed down on one. It was perfectly in tune.

She casually started going through all of her scales. Once she finished that she began to play Taylor Swifts "Forever and Always" the piano version. She started to sing along softly. "I don't feel welcome anymore, baby what happened? because one second it was perfect and now your half-way out the door." She drifted into her own world, forgetting that she was at Stark Towers. She didn't notice Steve, Bruce, and Clint stop what they were doing and watch her play. She didn't hear Tony come down the stairs and stand right outside the living room and watch his only daughter play. It was amazing to watch her fingers move across the keys. "So here's to everything. coming down to nothing, here's the silence, it cuts me to the core."

Tony had only bought the piano for decoration, Pepper had insisted that it made the place seem more grown up. This was the first time it had been really used other then as a table. "I was there when you said forever and always, you didn't mean it baby."

He watched at she switched to Second Hand Serenade's "Fall for you" "The best thing about tonight, that's we're not fighting. Could it be that we had been this way before. I know you don't think that I am trying."

She had an amazing voice, but it wasn't one that Would make it big time. She had a folksy, bluesy, voice, and not a pop voice like so many of today's hit artists. "This is not what I intended. I always swore to you, I'd never fall apart. You always thought that I was stronger, I may have failed but I have loved you from the start."

It was weird to know that she was his daughter and she was this talented. The Stark's were not normally known for being overly musical. "And remember me tonight, when your asleep."

He listened to the music fade out and watched her take her hands off the piano. What he didn't see what the one tear slip out of her eye. Playing the piano had reminded her of her mom and she missed her. They had never been away from each other for more then a couple hours. Sarah always did all of her course work for college at home from her laptop.

Tony was then suddenly aware that it was silent and he clapped. Sarah spun around, unaware of her audience.

"I'm.. I'm sorry if I disturbed you." she stammered. She just wanted to relax and relieve stress. She didn't mean to bother any one.

"You didn't disturb me." Tony said, and he meant it. Just like it fascinated him to watch her work, it was memorizing to watch her play. "Where'd you learn to play? It sounded fantastic."

"Oh, um, Mom taught me. She said that there was a reason she made you buy this piano besides just the fact that it looked good in the room"

"I didn't know she could play.."

"She only played when she was worried..." Sarah said looking at Tony. He knew she was referring to all the times he had to leave Pepper alone when he went on mission as Iron Man.

"Well.." Tony started "I just came down to let all of you know that the annual Avengers charity benefit has been scheduled for Saturday. And this year everyone has to go" he said, looking at Bruce who has skipped the past four out of precaution of the hulk.

Bruce sighed but nodded "Alright I'll go this year."

"Perfect. Sarah, that means you too"

"What? Why! I don't want to go!" she protested "Plus, I'm not even an Avenger"

"So? It's just hosted by the Avengers. There's gonna be like 500 people there, and they aren't all Avengers"

"I don't know.. I'm not really a people person."

"So? Neither is Bruce but he's still going."

"But it's only 5 days away, and I don't have anything to wear."

"Your a girl, you like to shop right?" he said, and she glared. Just because she was a girl didn't mean that she loved to shop. He was lucky that she loved to shop, especially for dresses.

"Umm..." she said, thinking about how easy it would be for the paparazzi to get a picture of her announcing to the whole world that she was now in New York.

"Please Sarah?" Tony said, close to begging, but not quite. Stark's don't beg either. "I want you to be there" his eyes pleading with her.

"Why..? I really don't want to go. It just gives the paparazzi an excuse to take bad pictures of me and spread it around the Internet"

"I promise no paparazzi. At least inside the event, I can't control what they do outside of it."

She sighed, "If I say maybe, will you leave me alone for the rest of the night?"

"Say yes and I'll leave you alone for the rest of the week" he countered.

"Okay fine! I'll go. Jeez, why do you even want me there so bad?"

"Because.. You'll see."

"Well that's reassuring" she said standing up, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need a shower, I smell like hospital still"

Tony watched her go upstairs, her words still rang in his head "You may be my father, but you are no dad to me." He was determined to make her see otherwise. It had stung him when she said that.

He just needed to make sure the benefit went well now. If it did, she would change her mind. He just knew it.

So not a very exciting chapter, but the Benefit is really big thing that will happen in the story, Also some inner turmoil has been revealed in Sarah. Also.. If you haven't heard either of the songs mentioned in this chapter I highly suggest going to you tube and listening to them.

Reviews are loved and appreciated :D
