Time skip to the first Ironman movie. Not much interaction in here, but things will start getting along soon ;)
I woke up to the sound of yet another explosion. Everything was dark in my room, well at least darker, so it must be around 2 o'clock in the morning. I checked my digital clock and it blinked 3:15 a.m. Huh, got more sleep this time.
Ever since that day when I decided to stay in the Stark mansion, I've never had a full night's sleep. So I slept in the afternoons or when Tony was passed out, either from being drunk or exhausted. After observing him for a few days, I realized that Tony Stark was the kind of guy who would start a project at 1 a.m. and never stop until he finished it, not even to eat or sleep. In fact, I think he would never sleep if it weren't for his P.A., Pepper Potts. She had to drag him out of his lab when he spent way too much time in there and put him to sleep. She also checked that he ate at least once a day and to have some personal hygiene (Eww). Pepper Potts was Tony Stark's life support in every detail of his life, including apparently surviving. I actually admired her for having to stand all of her boss' tantrums and eccentricities.
I got out of my bed, which was a Tiffany´s old necklace box, and extended my patched up sheets. After, I changed into my borrowing clothes which consisted of denim self-made jeans held by a wire belt, a doll's hoodie and some snickers from the same doll. Apparently Beans in California had some really accessible and comfortable doll's clothes.
I entered my kitchen which was connected to the living room. In the middle of the room was a coin on top of a screw that was used as a table, surrounding it were cupboards made of matchboxes, a sink and a stove. I had tapped into the water pipes and made a pipe system that worked for me so I could have sinks and showers. For the stove, I basically rigged a lighter so it could stay on and bent some wires on top of it so that I could put pans and pots on top of it. For breakfast, I ate tidbits of Pop tarts and bagels. In the living room was my borrower equipment. The walls had stickers of all kinds that had caught my attention while borrowing. My sofa was made of cushions out of jewelry boxes and my coffee table was made of corks put together by wires that went through them. I grabbed my cord, gear, pin, wires (I had A LOT of wires), and backpack. I decided to check what Tony was doing.
I got out of where I lived, which were the vents on the kitchen ceiling, and started to walk towards the lab. In my first few weeks here, I noted that the safest way to move around the house was through the vents. The mansion had a freaking AI that could control all of the rooms and appliance and could record everything that happened within. There were cameras and wires that ran through every single wall in the house, including the lawn, which allowed Jarvis (the AI) to check if there was anything out of the ordinary. Paranoid much? I had memorized and even marked the vents as roads so I could borrow easily. The downside to the vent road was that I had to pad the vent's floor and walls so my footsteps and my voice wouldn't echo around the house.
Finally, I came to the lab. From my vantage position near the ceiling, I could watch Tony work in some new kind of weapon. I never got tired from watching him. Sure the guy was an asshole, but he was a talented asshole. Thanks to watching him work and having read many of his notes, I learned much about hacking and rigging devices. I tried to make little things, like repairing what Beans threw away and automatizing other things. I started getting interested in nano technology, since for me it was normal sized. I eventually went to the kitchen to see what I could borrow since Tony wouldn't be coming out of his lab anytime soon and Mrs. Potts wasn't coming until later in the morning.
Since Jarvis could watch ALL of the house, I began looking for blind spots or ways to pass without being seen. I registered all of the "safe areas" and knew how to enter the cupboards and the fridge without being caught. From the cupboards I grabbed a few bean coffees and some sweets. After grabbing what I needed, I went home to put my borrowings in the stock room and headed through the vents to the living room. In the living room was a great glass wall that faced the sea. After that, there was a sort of platform and then the edge of the cliff. I loved that spot, since I could use edge of the cliff as room to hear music and relax. With the sun still down, I put on music on my iPod nano and watched the waves and their crashing to the rocks…
I must have fallen asleep because I was startled awake to the sound of a car entering the front driveway. Damn it, I must have been sleeping way too long for that was Mrs. Potts' car. I scrambled to gather all my stuff and sneaked through an outlet that was on the outside wall of the mansion. I climb the wires and went to the vents. Just when I reached the one that was in the living room, I heard voices. Female Bean voices. They seemed to be arguing, so I sneaked a peek through the vents and saw Mrs. Potts arguing with a younger blonde Bean. The blonde one must be another of those one night stands Tony seemed to have often. Mrs. Potts sassed her out and the blonde one left. I chuckled quietly and watched as Mrs. Potts went to retrieve Tony for yet another business meeting. Good, that meant he wasn't coming for a while. At that moment, I didn't knew it would be a long while.
