1Chapter 4.1:
Introductions
A/N- Okay I am personally not happy with how this chapter came out (I promise the others will
be better). One of the reasons being that I accidentally deleted the chapter when I was typing it up
on my iPod, so I had to stay up until 4am to rewrite the whole thing. Which, considering the
original length of it, to rewrite everything from memory was extremely hard. :/ So tell me what
you think.
P.S.- these are where the buttons in the elevator lead to;
(Button 1- Lobby/Entrance
Button 2- Kitchen/living room, Tony and Pepper's bedroom, three extra bedrooms.
Button 3- Bruce's lab 'n' bedroom
Button 4- Left hall: Gym room. Right hall: Archery training
room, Nat, Clint and Steve's bedrooms
Button 5- Tony's workshop
Button 6- Fury's 'Hideout'
Button 7- Bar room
P.S.S.- Im sorry for making you all wait so long for this chapter. But now I present to you a
chapter that is quite longer than the others, so I suggest you get comfortable!
Enjoy! :D
Peppers P.O.V.-
I open my eyes and see that Tony isn't laying in bed with me.
"Jarvis?" I say uneasily, "Where's Tony?"
"I believe he is in Dr. Banners lab, Miss Potts."
"Okay thanks Jarvis."
He better not be harassing Bruce again!
I get off the bed and sprint to the bathroom and take a shower. I then swiftly brush my teeth and
walk up to my closet. I rummage through it and slip on a simple white sun-dress then put my feet
in my beige Greek sandals.
I open the door to the bedroom then go down the hall to the left passed three doors and to the
open entrance of the kitchen/living room. I walk in and see that there are two empty plates still
on the large circular table and shake my head. I pick them up and put them in the sink. I go to the
coffee maker and pour myself a cup when I see Natasha enter through the doors, looking tired.
"Hey Pepper. Where Is everyone?" she asks.
"Hi." I say with a smile, "Im guessing they're all in Bruce's lab. But all I know is that Tony's
there. I don't have a good feeling about it, so I'm going there now."
"Oh okay, maybe I should come with you." she says with a smile.
"Maybe you should!" I laugh.
We head down to the elevator and I press the button and we step in. I push the number 3 button
and lean back into the wall, I take a sip of my coffee and sigh with content. I then turn to face
Natasha and say,
"You doing okay? You didn't get hurt too bad this time did you?" I ask her worriedly, looking her
over for any visible injuries.
"No, no I'm fine." she says flashing me a reassuring smile.
"Oh, good." I say with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Tonys P.O.V.-
"I told ya I'd be right!" Emma exclaims
"Yeah, yeah!" I say with a laugh. "Okay I guess since you really are my daughter, you can live
here."
"Awesome." she smiles.
Clint suddenly coughs and I look at him then roll my eyes.
"Let me introduce you to these three." I say motioning to Clint Steve and Bruce. Then point at
Bruce, "He's the world famous, big green rage monster. . ." he murmured. "The one and only-"
"Dr. Bruce Banner," Bruce interrupted my circus loud voice. "Or Hulk as Tony likes to
constantly remind me."
"It's nice to meet you," she replies.
"Likewise." he says with a small smile.
"Now this is The Bird." I say smirking at Clint.
"Hawkeye," the Clint replies annoyed. "Clint Barton and may I just say that thank God you didn't
get his insane genes."
"Believe me," she smirks "I can get crazy."
Steve's P.O.V.-
"And this guy, is surely the most boring of the guys here-Steve Rogers, the famous capsicle."
Tony says.
I glare at him annoyed then sigh.
"Captain America, the man who has been frozen for seventy years, cool," Emma smiles as she
shook my outstretched hand. "The name's Emma, captain." She then smirks.
"Pleasure to meet you, ma'am." I say. "Steve Rogers, you have the prettiest eyes that I have ever
seen."
"Aw, thanks!" she gushes, which makes me blush.
I expected a different kind of girl to be Tony Stark's daughter, someone who acts spoiled and
bitchy. She looks a lot like Tony, except for her blue eyes and height. They're so alike yet so
different.
"So where am I going to be living?" Emma asks.
"Well there's a couple extra rooms, you can stay in one of your choice." I say. "Why don't we
give you a tour of the tower? and I'll show you the extra rooms when the tours over." Tony says.
"Okay, let's go!" she says and I smile at her excitement.
Tony's P.O.V.-
We all chuckle and walk out the door I turn right and point to a door that has 'Hulk' printed in
lime green on it.
"That's Bruce's room, nothing fun in there." I say with a grin.
I then go to the elevator push the button on the pad on the wall. We step in and I press the
number 4. We step out and turn down the left hall and see and large door and walk into the large
gym-like room.
"This is our training room." I say then run to the punching bag station. "and this is what Bruce
takes out all of his anger on!"
"Not!" Bruce says then rolls his eyes.
I just laugh and walk out the room, they follow behind me.
I walk back down the left hall to the right hall. There are four rooms. On the left was one silver
door that had 'The Hawks Nest' printed on it. I open the door to reveal a room filled with targets
all over the place and arrows lined up against the walls.
"This is the hawks nest" I say smirking back at Clint.
"Coool" Emma says in awe. Clint chuckles softly at her amazement.
I then close the door and turn to the right wall. On the right wall, are three doors. One door is
near the elevator that has 'Cap' printed in USA colors on it.
"This is Cap's room" I say.
The other door that is far away has 'Hawk' in yellow on it. There's another door right next to
Clint's door that has 'Widow' printed on it.
"And those Clint and Natasha's rooms." I say grinning at Clint. "You'll meet Nat later."
We then head back into the elevator and I press the number 5.
Peppers P.O.V. -
We step out of the elevator and head for the door to Bruce's lab. I open the door to see that no
one's in the room. I start to panic.
"Tony are you here? If you're hiding, then stop. It's not funny!" I say as I look around the large
room. No answer. I walk into the other room and still no one is there.
"Where are they?" Natasha asks exasperated.
"Why would Jarvis say that they were in here, when they're clearly not?" I ask to no one in
particular, then say, "Jarvis where are they now?"
"Mr. Stark and the others are currently on the fifth floor, giving his guest a tour of the tower."
"What guest?" I ask confused.
"I am sorry but I can not say. You will have to go and see that for yourself, Miss Potts."
He's giving me lip again!
"Okay Nat, let's go back downstairs." I tell her with a tired sigh.
"Here we go again." she says then laughs a little, which makes me laugh.
Emma's P.O.V.-
When the elevator doors open, it reveals a large room with machines, screens and tools
everywhere, three long work benches and 5 metal suits encased in retractable glass cases against
a wall.
"This is my personal joy room, my work shop." Tony says smiling widely, which makes the other
three men scoff.
We then are lead out of the room and back into the elevator. Tony pressed the button numbered 2.
When the elevator doors opened, it revealed an wide hallway with five doors. On the left wall
there are two doors and on the other are three more. Down the hall leads to an opening to the
kitchen/living room.
Tony walks up to one of the doors on the left and says,
"This room is mine and Pepper's. The others are extras."
He opens the other door to reveal a large modern day room with a big black bed with plain white
sheets, black recliner, white dresser and nightstand, and a walk-in-closet and a bathroom.
"Wow that's nice." I say as I look around the whole room.
"Yeah there's still more to look at." Tony says with a smile.
~After~
We head out of the last room and go to the kitchen/living room.
I look around and take a good look of the room. For the first time I realize that there is a piano in
the room.
"I need to go back to my lab, i didn't finish what I was doing." Bruce says trying not to sound
rude.
"I have some things to do." Steve says.
"Me too." Clint adds.
"It was nice meeting you Emma," the three say in unison as they turn to leave.
"What was she like?" Tony asks quietly as he sits down in a chair.
"Oh, well, she was friendly, witty always happy, caring, loving , sentimental, and understanding.
She always knew what to say to cheer someone up... When we first found out she was going to
die, we made a bucket list. We did all we could until she couldn't do anymore. We went on a boat
ride, we went to Egypt, Jerusalem, started a small charity, and we went on meditation retreats.

5 months ago...
3rd Person P.O.V.-
"Jillian, you have pancreatic cancer." the doctor says.
"Can't you remove it?" Jillian asks.
"No, I'm afraid in this stage, the cancer is too far developed to remove. I'm sorry."
"Okay." She says with a shaky "How much longer do I have to live?"
"About 3 to 5 months, maybe less.. I am so sorry." he says sadly.
"O-okay, thank you doctor." she says.
Later on, Jillian walks back to the waiting room, where Emma is sitting in a chair reading a
message on her phone. She looks up to see her mother approaching. Emma gets up and smiles at
her mother.
"So what did they say?" she asks.
"We'll talk about it at home." she says looking at her daughter with sad eyes.
"Okay."
~At home~
"Emma please sit down, I have to tell you something."
"What is it mom? Tell me." she asks taking a seat at the kitchen table.
"I have pancreatic cancer."
"They can take it out, right?"
Jillian shakes her head no.
"Why? Why can't they?" she asks, about to cry.
"The cancer is to developed to removed."
"What now?"
"Sorry, I won't be here very long."
Emma starts crying and runs to her mother and they both cry in each others arms.
"I know baby, I know. I know it's sad, that we'll never see each other again. But remember all of
the happy moments we had together. I want you to lead a good life and remember that I loved
you very much. I want you to live life to the fullest, because you only have one life to live."
"Okay mom." she says sniffling. "Let's make a list of things to do together in the short time we have."
"That's perfect."
*End Of Flashback*
Pepper's P.O.V.-
"So this is where you've been. Who's this?" I say motioning to the girl who is sitting across from
Tony at the table.
"Oh hey Pep." Tony says smiling up at me.
"Hi." I say then look at the girl in front of me.
"Uh Pepper, this is Emma ...my daughter." he says slowly.
"W-what? Why didn't you tell me you had a daughter? I mean once we started dating, you
promised there would be no secrets being kept from one another! Or did that just come across to
you as unimportant?" I ask angrily.
"Would you just stop talking for one moment and let me explain?" he asks then sighs
exasperated.
"Fine." I say.
Tony turns to the girl and says, "Hey, why don't you go pick out your room and let the adults
have a little chat, yeah?"
"Okay, see ya." she says then quickly leaves the room.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask quietly.
"Pepper, I just found out today! It was more of a surprise to me than you! I didn't believe her at
first when she said that I was her father, so I had Bruce give us a DNA test. She really IS my
daughter."
"Oh I'm sorry Tony! I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that."
"It's okay Pep."
"So she's staying here?"
"Yeah, it's not like she has anywhere else to go anyway."
"What do you mean?"
"Her mom just died, that's why she came to me."
"Oh my God"
"Yeah."
Tony's P.O.V. -
Before I could say anything else Fury's voice boomed from the intercom.
"Stark, I want you in my office, NOW." he orders angrily.
...
I enter Fury's office slowly.
"What do you want?" I say, nonchalantly leaning back on the doorframe.
"What I want, is to know why there is a girl here in the tower. I never said you could have
guests!" Fury yells pointing to a screen that displays pictures of him and the guys giving Emma
the tour and other pictures of us talking in the kitchen.
"I don't need your approval. This is MY house, Pepper lives here, so I think my own
DAUGHTER can live here too!" I yell back, then stomp out of the room.
