A/N: completely winged it with this chapter, so let's hope it went well.

Warning: swearing.


Disclaimer: still no, don't sue.

"The proposed element should work as a viablereplacement for palladium" came the voice of Jarvis from over head. Orna didn't think robots were capable of emotion but the A.I sure sounded relieved.

That's when the Starks really got to work.

They smashed walls left and right to create space for the contraption they would have to make to create her grandfathers element. They dug up the floor to get to an electrical box. Drilledholes through the ceiling of the workshop and ordered
crates of al sorts of things they may need. Even though they didn't show it, both Starks were incredibly excited.

The workshop was a complete tip once they were finished, wires were strewn everywhere, bits of the copper tube where all over the floor. At least 12 crates sat open and completely ransacked. You could hardly take a single step without being yelled
at for treading on something important. Orna knew this from experience l.

The girl currentlysat on atable covered in blue prints and designs,eating a box of jammydonuts while her father put together the largecopper tubes that would help him make his element. She had offered to help but Tony
has politely declined, she tended to be slightly careless with projects and this one had to be exact.

The last project she had done, restoring an old BSA Bantam, had ended up with an exploded engine, the workshop covered in motor oil and she ended up in the hospital for 4 days. It's safe to say the bike could not be used after that. After that she
just got her Dad to buy her one of the old bikes, she was too impatient to go through that process again.

She watched Phil enter the workshop, and she gave him a wave that was defiantlyover the top but she didn't care. She was a Stark, she was always exaggerating.

"Heard you broke the perimeter," the agent said. He did not look impressed, he looked like a proper agent in that moment, all stoic and bored,but he completely ruined that by throwing a wink at Orna. The girl threw one straight back.

"Er... Yeah, that was like 3 years ago. Where you bin'?" Tony answered sassily, continuing to look for something that would level the pipes.

"I've been busy," the agent answered vaguely. That instantly had Orna suspicious.

"Yeah well so have we," Tony said gesturing to himself and his daughter. Orna looked extremely proud to have been included in the we."And it worked."

"Hey I'm playing for the home team Coulson, you and your crew gonna let me work or break my balls?" Tony said, he was really getting impatient now.

"What's this doing here?" Orna nearly choked when she saw what he was holding, it looked like the shield Captain America had used before he took a plunge into an icy death. The guy Coulson had a complete man crush on.

"That's it," her father said dreamily, Orna was sure he knew what it was by now, "bring it to me."

Agent Coulson slowly carried the half built shield to Tony as if it would break at any moment.

"You know what this is?" Coulson asked, he was so close to fangirling right now.

"It's exactly what I need to make this work." Orna had no idea how the old captains shield would make a difference to anything.

That is until he stuffed it underneath one of the copper tubes, making it completely level. Coulson looked mortified. How could this Stark abuse such a beautiful man and all he had done for the world? Especially since his father had worked so hard
to help the fellow.

Sensing a rant about to come out of the agent about the brave soldier, Orna turned her one, unscarred eye onto her father.

"Dad, you do realise that that is a symbol of our great nation right? That the star spangled man himself used something similar to that. Right?" Orna said in bewilderment.

"Orna, Darling. My little pumpkin. Do me a favour and shut up," he was so close and she was talking about Captain fucking America?!

He turned to the agent, "what do you want?"

"Nothing," Phil replied "I've been reassigned, Fury wants me in New Mexico."

"Great," Tony said dryly, "land of enchantment."

"So I've heard," the agent replied.

"Secret stuff."

"Something like that."

The two men shook hands before Phil headed for the door.

"Goodbye Phil!" Orna yelled at the top of her voice, even though the agent was only a few metres away.

"Goodbye Orna!" He called, without even turning around.

Both Starks were wearing goggles by the time Elder Stark fitted the prism in place, Baby Stark sat a safe distance away, per her fathers request. Unfortunately the prism hadn't been properly placed, so it needed to be turned, setting much of the room
on fire in the process before it finally reached the triangle they were turning into the new element.

When the machine was turned off Orna got out from where she had hidden under a table, to see her father striding towards the glowing blue entity.

"Dad?!" She said, "are you sure that thing is safe?"

"Nope!" He called back, doing nothing to reassure his daughter as he put his face right up to the glowing triangle. Then taking it off with a pair of pliers.

"Congratulations sir." Jarvis said, Orna could have sworn she could hear a hint of pride in the A.I that her father held so dear,"you have created a new element."

Tony placed it inside a new and improved arc reactor, and the machine accepted it with a few blue winks.

"Sir, the reactor has accepted the modified core," the A.I spoke Orna's previous thoughts "I will begin running diagnostics."

Both Starks barely registered what he had just said as they both realised at the same time what this meant.

Tony Starkwas going to live.

A/N: chapter 17! This was slightly shorter than normal, but as I said at the start, I just watched this part of the movie and went from there.


It would mean a lot of you would go vote on the poll in my profile, as I am truly stuck on what to do next.

Thank you to everyone who is reviewing, and feel free to leave any question or constructive criticism you have to offer. It will be much appreciated.

See you next chapter x
