Chapter 12

Two Weeks Later…

"Please ma'am calm down" Over the last two weeks, Jarvis tried soothing Bella into relaxation, but she refused to do so until Tony was found. So Alice and the others decided to stay longer so they could help.

"I can't Jarvis, you know that! He's been MIA for two weeks now" Bella sighed. She rubbed her temples and laid her head on the workshop desk, where she had been staying for the gruesome two weeks. That's the only place she would go. That and to meetings when Stark International needed her, but other than that she stayed in Tony's workshop. She refused to go upstairs and fix herself something to eat, but instead had Dummy fix her meals since she couldn't trust You in the kitchen anymore. Who she just was actually reprogramming now.

Jarvis studied Bella over the last few weeks and realized she was starting to develop into the female version of, well… Tony. She tinkered in the lab working on projects he didn't complete or fixing errors that he had made. She had even started her own project by working on the beat up Saleen S7 that he wrecked. If you looked at the car after Tony had wrecked it, you could say that it was way beyond repair. But just after two weeks with it, Bella made it look good as new. Truthfully even better. If Jarvis could smile, he would. He know understood why Tony always wanted more with Bella. She was amazing.

So Jarvis waited for Alice to return with You- new and improved- to do a test run, he watched as Bella and Rosalie worked on the car. Well, Bella worked on it while Rosalie gave her suggestions and the others watched astounded. Jarvis was used to the amazement in the Stark household, especially when your creator is Iron Man. Alice skipped downstairs with Dummy and You behind her.

"I'm guessing that You's test run was a success, Miss. Hale" he asked her

"Yup. He didn't break or spill anything" Alice smiled "Here's lunch, Bells"

"Thanks Alice. Thanks Dummy" Bella said reaching for the grilled cheese sandwich from under the car. Alice snatched the sandwich from her disapprovingly.

"Bella, what did I tell you? You can't eat under there" Alice contradicted. Bella sighed and pulled herself up from under the car and Alice gave her the sandwich back. She munched on the sandwich at a reasonable pace, so she wouldn't get yelled at… again. She was becoming more like Tony every day. …Tony.

Bella was going crazy waiting for Tony to come back and was getting more impatient each day as well as stressed. She had taken on Tony's job at SI in those two weeks and it was not very easy. First she had to get a PA, which was difficult because her short temper and irritable mood scared them off. So they had finally appointed Alice as her PA, since she could handle Bella's moods. Second, were the meetings. She knew what they were about since she had always informed Tony before he went in there, but it was different actually sitting in there and participating. So that got some getting used to. Third, was all the paper work Alice would bring her to sign. No wonder why Tony complained so much, it was a lot of stuff to sign. But since she wasn't one to complain, she got through it quickly. AS for Tony's other job as Iron Man, she had given the public a good excuse for Tony's sudden disappearance and left Rhodey in charge of the rest. He was more than glad to put on the War Machine armor, since the last time he had put it on since Whiplash.

So now as Bella worked on the S7, she couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to do this every day. To do this every day with Tony. She smiled as those thoughts coursed through her head, but then disappeared as Iron Man came down the chute and fell face forward.

"Tony" everyone ran to his and tried to pry the suit off of him. Bella ran and got two gauntlets and ripped the chest plate off. She proceeded into ripping the rest of the armor off of him. It went y faster since Emmet got a back-up pair of gauntlets to help and Jarvis took off the heavier pieces. Tony was going to kill her for this later, that is if he lived to do that. Bella shook her head contradicting herself. He's gonna be alright, he's gonna be alright, she thought, I hope.

Edward- who thank God had been training in medicine with Carlisle- announced that he was okay, but did need some sleep and needed to save up some energy. She told Emmett to carry him to the master bedroom and put him down in there. She said good-bye to everyone as they left and told Alice she would see her in the morning at SI. Bella climbed up the stairs and changed Tony's clothes for some clean PJs, then went back to the workshop.

"Ma'am maybe you should get some sleep. You do have a big day ahead of you" Jarvis suggested.

"You're right" She sighed and closed the hood to the S7. She would have to work on it tomorrow, after she finished doing God knows what at the company. She trudged up the stairs and into the guest room. She silently thanked Alice for going to her place and packing some of her belongings then brought them at Tony's. She changed her clothes and then got into bed.

Sometime around 3 in the morning, Bella decided to head to the workshop since she couldn't sleep. When she got down there she was surprised to see tony there admiring her work on the S7. She cleared her throat and he looked up at her.

"I see you some work done on the S7" he smiled

"Yup. I did it actually" he looked up at her surprised.

"You did" she nodded shyly. He looked between her and the car. "This is seriously amazing Bella"

"Thanks" she said looking around the massive workshop which was also his garage. Tony sighed and scratched his head.

"I'm sorry" he whispered

"Sorry won't erase those terrifying two weeks" she said

"I know, I know"

"Do you? Do you really know" she demanded angrily

"Of course I do" he shouted "Do you honestly think I wanted to stay where ever the hell I was? With whoever the hell had taken me hostage? Is that what you think" Bella blinked realizing that she never thought that he was taken hostage. Bella looked away fighting back tears and tried to control her hitched breathing. Bella, I'm sorry" he murmured as he hugged her gently. "You know I didn't mean any of that"

"No, it's just-I" she cut off sobbing in his shoulder. "I was so scared you were coming back in one-shape… or at all" she whispered the last part, but she was still easily heard. Tony looked up at her and regretted yelling at her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you" he sighed. She shook her head and laughed. It was awkward and nervous confusing him.

"It's okay. I think we're both just tired" she said heading towards the stairs "See you in the morning" He watched she jogged u the stairs and disappeared.

"Jarvis, did something happen while I was gone" he asked

"You could say that" he answered

"Explain"

"In the last few weeks, Miss. Swan has taken up your behavior"

"I'm sorry? What"

"She has started acting exactly like you, sir. Staying in the workshop all day until Ms. Hale drags her to any meetings or appearances. Only difference is is that she hasn't taken up drinking and gone out in an iron suit. Though if you hadn't come back, I think she might have in a few more weeks" Jarvis informed him. Tony thought about that for a second, unsure of whether or not it was a good thing or a bad thing.

He finally came down to a decision sometime around four a.m. It was good and bad. It was good cause hopefully she would realize that he was flirting with her because he really liked her, he could have her help more on his projects, and she would hopefully understand him better. But, she did already understand him… didn't she? Will, she understood what he displayed of himself and he winced realizing that it wasn't all that good. But she had seen some of his better moments, so it wasn't all that bad. He must have fallen asleep, because he was greeted by Alice.

"Wake up, Tony" he groaned as the high pitch song-like voice that came from Alice woke him even more.

"Ugh, go away" he groaned

"Nope! Now wake up, sleepy head"

"No wonder why they choose you for Bella's PA. You don't take no for an answer do you" he asked the small girl

"Nope. And from what I hear from Bella, it's one of the things we have in common. Though she said it wasn't a good thing, though. I wonder why" she asked giggling

"I'd rather not say" he said stretching

"You can trust me" she pouted

"I know. But something's are better left not in the known" he said walking up the stairs. Alice studied him as he went upstairs, but shrugged and followed after him. They were greeted by Bella who was already dressed and ready to go. She was fixing a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee.

"Bout time you woke up" she smiled

"You know I'm not an early riser" he grumbled. She laughed and pushed some hair out of her face. He smiled at her and sat down. "Looks yummy"

"Don't thank me. You made it"

"You made my breakfast" he asked astounded "you're kidding right"

"Nope. I made some minor adjustments and fixed the errors you made"

"I'm sorry… errors. I'm Tony Stark, I don't make mistakes when it comes down to my work" he said getting up

"Oh really. You, go get me a grilled cheese sandwich" she ordered smugly. You did as he was told and made her sandwich in four minutes flat. He watched as You handed her the sandwich without a flaw and handed to her. "Thank you. Want some" to stupefied to speak, he shook his head and glared at the giggling Alice. She smiled at him apologetically and he slumped down in his seat.

"Okay. So what's for the agenda today" he asked giving up.

Later that day, Tony sat in the workshop going over his schematics for the Mark armors. He was so engrossed in them he didn't realize that Bella had walked in. She cleared her throat and he looked up smiling. She crossed the room and sat on his desk.

"What'cha up to" she asked

"Mark armor schematics"

"Which one" she asked not recognizing the armor

"All of them"

"oh" he laughed at her one word response and sighed. He got up and stood in front of her.

"Listen, about last night- well this morning actually, I was just so stressed out and didn't have enough sleep and- " Bella placed a finger over his lips and smiled

"It's okay" she said removing her finger but got caught by his hand. They stared at each other for a while and he rubbed circles in the back of her hand. She looked away first and blushed. He took a deep breath and shook his head. They looked at each and smiled widely. Tony leaned into her and she leaned in closer to help close the distance. Before they knew it, their lips had touched and moved against each other. She took away her hand from his to wrap her hands around his neck. He placed his hand at the side of her waist and brought her closer to him. She knotted her fingers in his hair and bought him closer, if that was possible. She broke away and looked at him. He blinked for a few minutes then smiled.

"Know, was that so hard" he teased

"Shut up and kiss me" she demanded. He raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously at her.

"Ma'am yes ma'am" he saluted before reclaiming her lips as his own. She moaned at the feeling and wanted more. He broke off this time and kissed her forehead. "You know, I've been wanting to do that for the longest time now"

"I can tell" she said rolling her eyes. He laughed loudly and she shook her head.

"I never felt this way about someone before" he murmured against her skin. His breath tickled and she shivered in response. She looked up at him and smiled softly. He returned the same smile and kissed her cheek. "Only you can have this effect on me, you know that" before she could ask she felt something hard press against her leg. She looked at him and he smiled innocently. She chuckled and shook her head.

"Can't you ever keep your hormones to yourself" she muttered and he laughed

"Now what fun would that be if I could" he teased

"Make my job a lot easier" he kissed her again and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer. He wanted her closer and closer to him, but knew better of that idea. She would never go for it… or so he thought. Bella pulled tony closer to her, refusing to let go. For the third time, she pulled away and stared at him. The look in her eyes was complete dominance and want, something that Tony couldn't deny her.

"Are you sure you want this? That you want me" he asked

"Forever" she murmured against his lips. His lips came crashing down on hers and the tension was removed. And the pleasure had began.

and thois is why we didn't let him go.
