A/N: I am so sorry, I said I'd write twice last week but I got ill and I just didn't have time this week so I hope you can forgive me. Here's chapter 14.

Disclaimer: marvel isn't mine


Orna slept in a separate room on the jet, she was so tired after the trip. The stress was starting to get to her, she still hasn't come to terms with her fathers coming death. For once she was wishing for a vision, if only so she knew if she was really
going to lose her father. And she got a vision. But she never gets to choose what their about.


The expo was destroyed. She watched from above as civilians ran screaming for cover. The deadly machines followed her like a swarm of bees. Every move she made wouldn't be enough to throw them off. She needed a miracle.

Rhodey followed close behind her in another metal death trap. They worked as a team to destroy the bots but for every one they got rid of two more seemed to appear. But they destroyed as many as they could.

A larger machine landed in front of them. To the arms were attached two lengths of wire. Just like the man at the race had. As he reared the whips, she woke up.


Orna sat in her bed the following night. Pepper and Natalie were sorting out the news, trying to get people to trust Tony again. And Tony was moping in the workshop. She could feel every emotiongoing through him, he was a complete wreck.

Her vision had been haunting her ever since it had come, she was sure she wasn't the one fighting the killer robots. The one person it could have been was her father, and he already had enough on his plate to have to include fighting whip guy. He was
dying for god sake!

She was sure that every time he used the iron man suit it sped up the rate of the toxins entering his blood, but she couldn't for the life of her think what it could be that could slow it down, and she was running out of time.


Her father stood looking in the mirror, she stood looking at him from the door way. He so obviously thought he was alone, that gave her time to study the lines on his chest leading from the arc reactor, aka the thing that was killing him.

"What's that Dad?" She asked, she knew she didn't sound impressed.

He hurried to button up his shirt, hiding the arc reactor but it was too late. Orna had seen it all.

"Wha? What's what sweet heart? I'm not hiding anything" he said, he was such a bad liar, especially to an assassin.

"The lines on your chest. There from the arc reactor aren't they. It's killing you." None of it was a question.

"How long have you known?" He asked. He hung his head. He didn't want his only daughter to know he was dying, that wasn't right.

"I'm a Stark," she said, " I know everything. Plus I can read you like a book, don't take it personally I'm an assassin."

He said nothing, but scowled at the word assassin. It was a horrible word. And to hear his daughter use it to describe herself broke his heart, she was so much more than a sword. She was a Stark and a genius. She didn't take shit from anyone.

"Dad just don't do anything stupid" she pleaded, she was ready to get on her hands and knees and beg him not to. "I don't want to lose you yet, not if I don't have to"

He pulled his daughter into his arms and held her to his chest, he knew in his heart he had been irrational. Driving that race car, taking on Vanko alone. He hadn't stopped to think about the people around him. How it would affect Orna and Pepper and
Happy.

"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry Orna" he pulled away and held her at arms length. "I promise you I'll be better, but it could be my last birthday, can I go a little crazy?"

Orna snuggled herself back into his chest. "This won't be your last birthday if I have anything to say about it," she vowed, if only her tear ducts worked, "but since it's your birthday, you can go a tiny bit crazy,"

She left when Natalie came in to ask Tony about watches for the party. Her chest felt ten times lighter already.


Orna was ready to punch him in the face. Her father was drunk off his ass with another drink in hand, talking to the crowd that was gathered in the living room. She held her water close to her to avoid it getting spilt by the people around her. He was
defiantly more than a tiny bit stupid right now.

It was when he peed in his suit that she actually got up to do something, but the crowd was too thick to fight her way to him.

Luckily Pepper stepped up and stole the mic from him, but her relief didn't last long, she was really hoping by after party he just meant tea and cake or something. But she knew she was trying her luck. Especially when some blonde bimbo started throwing
bottle around. Her father hit every one.

And where on earth did she get a watermelon?! He destroyed that too though of course.

"IM ONLY GONNA SAY THIS ONCE" was heard over the crowd, everyone turned to see Rhodey in an iron man suit. Shit was about to get real. "Get out"

Everyone turned to run out the door and Orna turned to go cower behind the sofa, she subconsciously wrapped a shield around herself with her power. She didn't know what was gonna happen.

"You don't deserve to wear one of these!" Rhodey accused "shut it down!"

Tony just turned, ignoring his best friend. "Goldstain" he called to te DJ "give me a fat beat to beat my buddy" he obviously thought he was hilarious.

The music started to play as the boys began to pummel each other. They threw each other through the house, propelling them selves along in the suit. Luckily the glass just bounced off Ornas shield or she would likely need medical assistance. They were
punching in front of all the guests, breaking all kinds of windows when Orna decided enough was enough, she suited up in her own sleek black assassin suit and drew a pair of blades from her back.

"STOP!" She yelled at the top of her voice.

They immediately dropped each other and the music came to a stand still. She walked calmly between them as if they were toddlers, not men in machines capable of blowing off her head.

She placed a blade at each mans throat, "these blades are capable of cutting through anything, even ironman suits. So I think it would be best if you listened to me." She said softly, but everyone heard her as the crowd was deathly silent. "You are acting
like children, so I'm going to treat you like children. Dad, your going to go inside, take off the suit and go to bed. You are not going to leave that room until you wake up tomorrow morning. Rhodey, your going to leave right now, you can bring the
suit back tomorrow just go before you do something even more stupid."

The two men looked at her dumbfounded, while the crowed just wondered where she got the swords from. It was surely going to be all over the tabloids in the coming week. But right now she was too angry to care.

"DID I SAY SOMETHING OR WHAT?!" She thundered at them. They scrambled to their feet and flew off in the direction they had been told to, although she was sure Rhodey hadn't gone off in the direction of his house.

She replaced the blades back in their scabbards and turned towards the lingering crowd.

"you can go now"she said.

Orna hadn't seen a group of people move so fast in her life.


A/N: Okay so there was chapter 14! I hope it was worth the wait and I'm so sorry it took so long. You can yellat me in the reviews if you want.

This chapter was a bit more Orna focused because I'm trying to set a few things up for the future. You also may notice that I've changed a few scenes but it will all make sense in the end.

Please tell me if your enjoying the story, I do like to know what you think.

See you next chapter xx
