A/N: here is the next chapter, hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: still don't own marvel.
An hour after she hung up, a sleek black car turned up on the doorstep of the mansion. A man climbed out and stood stick straight to speak to her.
"Miss Stark, I'm here to take you to shield courtesy of Agent Coulson"
The man said, and it was the only thing he said the entire journey.
When she arrived Phil was waiting for her in the lobby. He wore a sleek suit and tie, with an earpiece going down the back of his jacket, he looked very much the part of 'agent'.
"You know, I'm surprised Orna," Phil said "I would have thought you would have called sooner,"
"Well, I've been trying my best to block out everything that's going on and if this is the only way to help then so be it" she replied, not even looking at him as they fell into a brisk pace. She had no idea where they were headed.
"And you really think that you can find him?" He said, he oozed doubt and worry. She was almost insulted.
"Yes"
They walked in silence after that, until they reached a door, as they arrived a pretty red head stepped out. She wore a jet black catsuit and a scowl that looked like it could kill. Although knowing shield, her scowl wasn't the only thing that could kill.
"Careful Coulson, he's in a bad mood today," she said, refusing to even acknowledge Orna, "what with everything happening with stark, he hasn't been able to focus on much else,"
"Well Romanoff, I may be able to solve that problem," he said, with a side glance at the girl beside him.
"Good luck with that" she scoffed before walking away.
The pair stared after her before a voice called them into the room.
It was a large room, with a desk and some comfy looking chairs, one of the walls was entirely glass, they seemed to be quite high off the ground. Unfortunately she could only count 1 exit. Well, unless she wanted to break the window.
"Orna, this is Director Fury, the head of shield. Director, Orna believes she can find her father. That she can find Stark." Coulson said, before he was even in the room. It was then that she noticed the man he was talking to. He was a tall, black man,
dressedentirely in black and had an eye patch over his left eye. He was downright terrifying. He was her only hope.
"And how will you accomplish that, Miss Stark?" He asked. He even sounded scary.
She took a deep breath. No one alive knew her secret except her, but she had to do all she could. For Tony's sake.
"What I'm about to tell you, you can never tell anyone. Only the academy ever knew this, okay?" They both gave nods of agreement. "Good. Well... You see... Icankindasortatellthefuture," she blurted, it was a complete word vomit, but both men had understood
herperfectly. Even Fury looked shocked. She continued to explain. "I was born with it, you see. But it only showed itself when I was 9, I had a vision about a man, in a suit of armour an a glowing chest, flying away from me, and that hasn't
happened yet,but others have, I saw the hulk destroy Harlem 5 years before he did, I saw Phil and his team saving me, but I never understood that until it happened, and I think I might be able to find my father."
"Is this all you can do Miss Stark?" The Director questioned slowly, it was all a lot to take in.
"No" she said, the more she spoke the bigger a weight was lifted from her chest "I can focus time energy, the energy that allows me to see the future, into solid mass, the only limit is my imagination, I can also use it to lift things, and rip things
/apart. I can also crush a mind by wrapping it in memories." She was talking very fast, she didn't want them to use her like Acheron had.
"In whatever way you can help shield would be glad, but you may want to keep this hidden from your father." The director said, he was still talking slowly, like he was trying to calm a wild animal. It was getting annoying.
"I have for 6 years haven't I?" She said impatiently. "Now I'm gonna have to ask you to be quiet so that I can concentrate on the vision."
Both men were silent, they even took a step back from her.
She closed her eyes and began.
She felt her breathing stop, as it always did with a forced vision, she fell to the floor her eyes still tight shut until she passed out. Her eyes flew open, they were glowing blue. She could see the future.
Tony Stark
Figments of the future rushed by her in a blur of colour, she focused on his name, her fathers name.
Tony stark
Suddenly she grasped something, a vision.
She saw her father walking off a plane, supported by Rhodey, he looked her in the eye and a sort of happiness filled her, rattling in her bones, quickening her heart, he was safe.
Tony stark
The vision changed, she saw a desert, it was vast and extremely hot, and she felt like she hadn't had water in days, in fact she didn't believe she had. She just wandered and wandered glad to be free of that place, though she didn't know what that place was.
Tony stark
It changed again, she saw the metal man from her first vision, but this time she saw him properly, he was a silver colour, and awfully clunky, the pale blue glow came from a disk in his chest, it seemed to power him. He was running around a cave, killing people who were yelling in another language, she saw him stop at a dying man, and talk to him. She would know that voice anywhere. The metal man was her father.
He continued on and took off, she watched long enough to see him fall out of the sky before she was pulled back to the present.
When she awoke, the two men were standing over her, concern written all over their faces.
"I'm fine, don't worry," she said, already expecting their responses. "But I think I have an idea where he is, he's in a cave, I think he's in Afghanistan still, but he will escape the terrorists and end up in the desert, you have to find him before he
/dies of thirst, please," she was about to panic when she remembered the first part of the vision, he should be okay.
"We will do everything we can for your father Miss Stark, is there anything we can do for you in the time being?" The Director asked, he didn't seem so scary now that he was concerned for her.
"Tell Rhodey, get him in on the search, he needs all the help he can get" she whispered, she had never been wrong before, but there was a first time for everything. For the first time in her life, she was terrified.
Fury called in another agent to lead her back to the car, but what she didn't hear was Director Fury saying to Phil.
"Put her on the list for the avengers initiative, she could be a valuable asset, no matter her background,"
Nick Fury was going to get her on his team, if it was the last thing he ever did.
She carried on with her routine, she trained and trained and trained, but this time she didn't try to shut the world out, she stopped to eat and sleep, because now she had hope. And she'd be damned if she was gonna let that hope slip away.
A week later, she got a phone call from Rhodey, they'd found him, and she'd been right again, he was wandering the desert, and they had no idea how he escaped, but Orna thought she had an idea.
She stood with Pepper and Happy as the plane dooropened, and her father and Rhodey stepped out the plane, and just as in her vision, when their eyes met she was filled with a joy of which she had never felt before paired with relief that he was okay,and
anger at the people who hurt him.
She couldn't hold herself together anymore, she rushed towards him and flung her arms around him, he was surprised. They hadn't hugged since she was 14 years old, but still he hugged her back and he cried. Because it's only now, he's holding her like
adrowning man needing air, now she gripping onto him as if he's her last her only anchor to this world, it's only now he realises how much he's missed her. He didn't have time to miss her in the caves, nor when he was wandering the desert, but
nowthat
he's holding her. His beautiful, broken little girl, with the scar down her face, and her eyes, so much like his. He missed her and he swore, in that very moment, to be a better father to her, and give her everything she deserves and more.
"Never do that again," she whispered, and his heart broke a bit more, "never leave me again, because I promise I will never forgive you."
"Don't worry love, I'm not leaving again in a hurry" he grinned at her, trying his hardest to cheer her up, he kissed her forehead and leant down to whisper in her ear.
"I want a burger, do you want a burger?" And they giggled all the way back to the car, they were a family again.
A/N: the next chapter is written. Hooray! I do believe this story is coming along swimmingly, and as always, tell me what you think, it would be greatly appreciated.
Next chapter should be a bit more on track to the plot of the movie but who knows, I'm improvising.
See you next chapter xx
