Chapter 25(the beginning is all howard and later bella)

Howard Anthony Stark had been held captive by the Mandarin and the Ten Rings ever since his son, Tony, was a boy with his wife, Maria.(i didn't know when he was killed DX)

He watched as they used his technology to kill people, realizing that that his creations weren't helping people, it was destroying lives by the millions. He had hoped that it would end, but it never did. Obadiah Stane kept making weapons using Stark technology, and when his son turned 21 so did he.

He realized it had to stop and we was going o stop then. He told them that he would not make weapons for them anymore, but didn't expect the aftermath. On that sole lone day that Howard Stark said that he would not make weapons for them, he watched them kill Maria in front of his eyes. (i'm sorry! i really am)He could never get rid of the images of his wife, his on, true love and mother of his son, being murdered before his own eyes.

Howard looked up at the roof of the hut he was stuck in. The Mandarin had not asked for anything, but he knew it would not last. After all, they had told him when they kidnapped Tony and how they were helping Whiplash kill Tony as well. Howard had faith in his son and his faith proved to be true. Tony saved himself, the world, and humanity himself each time. But now, he wasn't sure what they had in stored for his son. All he knew was that they had a 'sure-fire' plan that would take down the Stark legacy for good.

Two men came into his room and grabbed him roughly, then dragged him from his room. They bought him out to where the rest where and he was confused when he saw a young girl tied down to a chair. But was even more confused when he heard a voice he thought he would never hear again.

"Dad" the voice was of his son's. It was mature, pained, and agonized. Howard watched as Tony glanced between him and the girl through the video transmission.

"What's going on? I told you leave Tony out of this" Howard demanded. Mandarin turned to him and smirked at him then at Tony and the girl.

"You did, but of course I didn't listen" he said simply(i made the mandarin a more relaxed and chilled out villian. the kind of person who remains calm no matter what until ushed to the edge? like jasper expect evil XD) "How could I? With such a brilliant son like yours? Not to mention the fact of how easy he made it by exposing to me his beautiful little girlfriend" Girlfriend, Howard thought. He had never thought Tony would be in a steady relationship, well…ever. But looking at the beautiful girl with the soft brown hair that fell to her back in curls, how could Tony not be infatuated with her? "If you both do as I say, she won't fall into the same misfortune that your darling wife and mother fell to"

"What happened to my mother" Tony demanded

"She died in front of your father eyes" Mandarin said as a matter of factly.

"No" Tony whispered and Howard looked at his son with such pain it hurt.

"Yes. Now we don't want this to happen to her, do you? After all she's much to beautiful to fall for the same fate" Mandarin said "Such an angel deserves much better"

"Let her go. This is unnecessary" Howard begged. He could already see the images of Tony watching her demise and couldn't bear it.

"Oh I will. I'll let both of you go" he said "As soon as I get the Jericho"

"Fine" Tony said

"What" he recognized the voice as General Nick Fury.

"I'll rebuild the Jericho for you. But so help me if you hurt Bella-I don't care if she comes down with a life ending illness or she breaks a nail- you hurt her, I kill you" Tony threatened and he could see how much he cared for her.

"It's a deal. We'll be expecting you Mr. Stark" Mandarin said before cutting off the video transmission and turning to his men "Untie her. Take them both to the refurnished area we have. Also get them new clothes as well"

"Let her go. Tony's agreed now let her go" Howard said as the two men released him

"Oh but I can't. That would make it all too easy" he smirked "But she is a lovely girl. Your son really does have a fine taste in women"

"Let. Her. Go" Howard growled as he came closer in contact with Bella.

"As you wish Howard. After your son delivers me the Jericho I hope we can put this behind us"

"Hardly" Howard muttered. A man came back in and turned to the Mandarin

"My Lord, the car is ready to take them to the refurnished living space now"

"Excellent. Take them now" he smiled "And please wake Bella. Rather yet, Howard why don't you do it"

Howard walked warily over to her, unsure of what to say. 'Hello Bella. I'm Howard Stark, Tony's supposed to be deceased father. It's a pleasure to meet you'? He shook his head and carefully bent over and shook her lightly.

"Bella? Bella, I'm going to need you to wake up" he asked smoothly. She blinked for a few minutes, before squinting at him.

"Tony" she asked hoarsely. Howard chuckled to himself, seeing as how she confused him with Tony even after all these years.

"NO, I'm not Tony I'm afraid" he said

"Then who are you" she asked as a man handed her a glass of water "And where are we"

"We're in Afghanistan with the Ten Rings" he said somberly "And I'm Howard. Tony's father" He watched as she choked on the water and the same man who handed her the water now handed her a napkin.

"But how? You-you're supposed to be… well… ya know" she stuttered

"Dead" he asked and she nodded shyly "Yes I know. I guess this isn't the exact way you wanted to meet your boyfriend's father, huh" Bella was surprised that he knew she and Tony were dating but nodded. "I know. I wasn't exactly prepared for this either"

"Thank you" she said as one of the Mandarin's men helped her stand. He bowed his head courteously and motioned for them to follow him. They did as told and walked to a red car. He held the door open for them and they slid in quietly. "What's going on"

"The Mandarin is demanding that Tony rebuild the Jericho for our safe return" Howard said sadly

"Let me guess? He agrees"

"Yes. Though he has demanded that if you're hurt or even break a nail he's threatened to kill them" he said trying to comfort her. Howard smiled as a faint blush crept up her cheeks and she smiled faintly.

"That's Tony alright. He tends to…"

"Overreact" he suggested

"Overreact is an understatement" she laughed quietly.

"It'll be alright" he said wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "I promise"

Bella gasped as they pulled up to a luxurious mansion. It was beige with a light gray roof. There were several windows and a bridge connecting to the front. Underneath the bridge was a moat of some sort that was the same color of the ocean.

"It's beautiful" she said as they walked to the front door.

"Thank you" she whipped her head around and glared.

"Bella, please hear me out! I had no idea-"

"Save it! You had a pretty good idea when you showed Tony that file, Gene" she hissed. She stomped passed him and was followed by Howard. They entered the mansion and Gene watched them sorrowfully.

"But…I love you" he whispered
