Ok chapter 2. I own nothing. The characters belong to Marvel while the song belongs to someone I don't know. All I know is Alison Krauss sings it in "O, brother where art thou". R&R and enjoy!
There was never a day she didn't look down to the ring on her finger. A month had passed since he surprised her at the concert, and their love for one another grew. She stared down at the ring for what seemed like forever before Jarvis interrupted her.
"Ms. Potts, Mr. Stark is awaiting you in the garage." He said. She nodded once, set her laptop on the coffee table and walked down the stairs to the garage. She typed her code to open the door and walked in. She looked around the room for him and smiles slightly when a set of hands wrapped around her from behind.
"Hey." He said before kissing her cheek.
"Hey to yourself." She replied. He pulled away from her and walked over to the Audi R8 with a basket.
"I thought we could have a picnic at the park." He said. She smiled brighter and crossed her arms.
"I can't believe it." She said. He turned to her with a picnic basket in his hand.
"What?" He asked.
"Iron Man wants to go on a picnic?" She asked. He smirked and nodded to her motioning to the car. She walked to the car and took a set in the passenger side while he slid in and handed her the basket. She took in from him and he sat down in his seat. He started the car drove from the garage and down the main road. He reached for the radio and smiled when a country song played. He caught her smile out of the corner of his eye from under the sunglasses and drove in silence. He heard her singing along, only making the moment even more perfect.
"Some bright morning, when this life is o'er. I'll fly away. To that home on god's celestial shore. I'll fly away."
He knew the words to the chorus and sang with her as they entered the highway. She looked him and smiled widely and laughed a little before looking to the sea.
"I'll fly away, oh glory. I'll fly away (in the morning). When I die, hallelujah by and by. I'll fly away."
He took her hand in his, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles. She leaned back in her seat as they approached the park. He found a spot for them to set up their picnic and turned the car off. He held the door open for her, walked to the trunk to retrieve the blanket and radio. He set the blanket down as she set down the basket. He turned the radio onto the same station and sat down with her on the blanket. She passed him a sandwich still singing to the song.
"When the shadows of this life have gone. I'll fly away. Like a bird from theses prison walls I'll fly. I'll fly away."
She laughed as he brought out a vintage video camera and filmed her. She put her hand over the lens, trying to block her face from the camera. She then snatched the camera from him and turned it to him with giggles in the background. He mouthed the words to the song to the camera with a smile on his face, making more giggles fall from her lips.
" I'll fly away, oh glory. I'll fly away (in the morning). When I die, hallelujah by and by. I'll fly away."
Their day went on like that. Giggles, chuckles with some eating in between. They laid on the ground after a while and watched the clouds. His arms behind his head and her head resting on his chest. She could hear the hum of the arc reactor and knew his heart was beating beneath it. She never knew he had a sweet side to him, and was glad she was the only one he showed it to. The idea of Iron Man being a softy on the battle field made her heart stop, knowing he would more than likely die. She sighed and gripped tightly to his shirt gaining his attention.
"Oh how glad and happy when we meet. I'll fly away. No more cold iron shackles on my feet. I'll fly away."
"Something wrong?" He asked. She smiled and kissed the arc over the shirt and looked up to him.
"Not at all." She said. He smiled to her and leaned up to kiss her once before laying back and looking to the clouds. She sang the song again after it had ended long ago. The radio was off but the lyrics remained in her head.
"I'll fly away, oh glory. I'll fly away (in the morning). When I die, hallelujah by and by. I'll fly away."
He hummed along with her and watched her lay back down in her spot before continuing.
"Just a few more weary days and then. I'll fly away. To a land where joy shall never end. I'll fly away."
She sat up and reached for her camera before laying back with him and snapping a picture of them to add to a scrapbook she had been keeping. He kissed her just as the camera snapped the picture making her smile return. He smiled back and finished their song.
" I'll fly away, oh glory. I'll fly away (in the morning). When I die, hallelujah by and by. I'll fly away."
"I wanna fly away with you Potts." He said. She smiled and sat up holding the camera to him and snapping a picture.
"And where would we fly to Stark?" She asked. He laughed a little and sat up with her.
"I was thinking we'd fly to the stars." He said.
"Well I'm afraid that is impossible seeings how I can't breathe up there." He laughed again and touched her cheek.
"Well then where would you like to go?" He asked. She sat in thought for a moment and smiled again.
"How about we go on a cross country tour." She said. He nodded in agreement and kissed her lightly.
"I like that idea." He said. "Our honeymoon cross country." He said. She nodded and set her camera back down before resting her head on his shoulder. He began to hum the song again while wrapping an arm around her.
"I'll fly away."
She sang before giving him a sweet kiss on the lips.
