A/N: I'm really sorry it's taken so long, I just couldn't get any ideas for this chapter and so I'm just playing by ear and watching the movie as I write.

Disclaimer: not mine

After about 10 minutes of Orna doing nothing, she fell asleep. When she awoke, she heard a noise coming from the TV in the workshop, it seemed her father was home.

As she approached the sofa Tony was sitting on she realised 3 things; 1 he was working on the suit, 2 he was watching something extremely depressing and 3 he was very, very angry. He looked ready to smash something.

"Hey, I didn't hear you come in, you should have woke me up" she said, fake affronted.

"Yeah well I was a bit busy with the fact that Obadiah locked me out of my own company, and sold myweapons to a group of TERRORISTS" he shouted, if Orna hadn't trained for years as an assassin, she would have flinched.

He got up to start pacing the room, Orna watched him carefully.

His shoulders were tense, his breathing shallow, and his hands were clenched into fists, she had never seen him lose his cool so badly.

Suddenly, so sudden Orna actually nearly did flinch this time, he span from the counter and shot at one of the ceiling lights.

"DAD! What the hell!" Orna screamed, she remembered when those lights were put in.

He didn't seem to hear her, because he paced forward with new found determination in his eyes.

The last thing she heard from the news reporter was "...who, if anyone, will help them..." Before her father shot and destroyed 3 of the glass windows.

Orna was bewildered, why was he destroying everything? She was so caught up in her thoughts that she nearly missed him stepping into the plate in the middle of the room. Where they kept the suit.

When it was assembled around him, Orna decided that she should say something, invade he did something stupid.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"To do something right" was his only answer, before he took off.

After he left, Orna sat down at her computer and asked Jarvis to find absolutely anything on a man in a metal suit.

She found nothing.

Whatever he was doing was away from the eyes of any camera, mobile phone or reporter. And that made it 10 times more knew, she had used it to her advantage before, many times.

Orna took a deep breath, now wasn't the time to think about that. her father was out there, risking his life, and she was sat there thinking about what she had taken from other people.

She had thought about it many times before, but this time was different. When she used to ponder on the past she could always remember that her father was an alcoholic, a womanizer. But now he was out there 'doing something right' just because he could.
Just because he didn't want others to suffer.

But she was sure she had never changed, from the scared little girl who had murdered her best friend. The girl who craved family, but didn't deserve one.

She wanted to cry, wished she could, but her eyes were as dry as they had been for 14years, ever since they first sent that God forsaken rope of metal soaring for her back.

She wished she could cry, but she knew she didn't deserve to, didn't deserve the satisfaction of being able to wash away all her sorrows, her pain. She was a monster, and a killer, and a freak.

But she decided. There and then. That if there ever came a time that she could save the world, save someone even if that meant she could only save herself, then she would be damned if she didn't do it.

Because she had spent all her life, taking and taking, that she realised it was time that she gave something back, to the people who she had destroyed.

She'd just have to wait until he got back. If he got back.

When he did get back, he wouldn't seem to let the machines take the suit off him, he wanted it off, but he wouldn't stop moving.

He asked Orna for help about 20 times but she just laughed. This is what he gets for not telling her where he was going.

While she was in the middle of her laughing, Pepper was coming down the stairs. Her father didn't notice. She didn't tell him.

"What's going on here?" Pepper asked, coming through the window Tony had desroyed earlier. For the first time in 20 minuites he stilled.

Trying to turn to face her, he said "let's face it, this isn't the worst thing you've caught me doing."

"Are those bullet holes?"

Orna cut in at this point "do you want us to lie or..." At that point, pepper just left.

The next time she saw pepper, her and Tony were arguing, about what she had no idea. She was sat on the other side of the room, it seemed her dad was asking something, but pepper was having none of it.

Eventually, she seemed to give in, as she quietly left the room.

"What did you ask her to do?" She said slowly as she approached him. Ready to punch him if he had done something stupid.

"Hack into my mainframe" he said casually, as if it wasn't a big deal.

"And she said yes?"

"Yeah"

"Marry her" Orna said, and she walked away before he could say another word.

Orna went to bed early that night, but she couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned for half an hour before she threw the covers off and went downstairs.

When she got to the living room, she realised she wasn't alone, Obadiah stood next to the sofa, removing the arc reactor from her fathers chest.

"Did you think, that just because you have an idea, it belongs to you?" Obadiah said.

Orna made 2 mistakes that night.

"Dad?" She whispered.

That was her first mistake. Obadiah whirled around, he placed the arc reactor on the coffee table and stalked towards her.

"Orna stark, the golden girl, Americas beauty, Tony Starks biggest mistake" he said. Orna was livid, she was no mistake. She hadn't been scorned with that in 8 years, not since Acheron Stone. She was so angry, that she didn't see the punch aiming
for her head in time. That was her second mistake.

As a pain launched through her temple, and darkness clouded her vision, she swore that if someone didn't kill him quickly, She'd do it herself.

A/N: well that was chapter 8, I hope you enjoyed it, I was really stuck to write thisbecause all the ideas I'm getting for this story, seem to rotate around the avengers. So I'm gonna try and get through iron man and iron man 2 quite quickly so that I can really get into avengers and the later movies.
