Okay, there's no need to tell me how amazingly awesome I am, but because it's my birthday tomorrow, I'm uploading now, And I have an unrelated birthday chapter that if you want it, I will upload.
"Okay." I sighed leaning back trying not to focus on Ally and Dimitri's curious stares. "So basically, there's this company. That used to be one of Stark Industries. I guess you'd call it a major competitor, Tony and I just saw them as our toys." I shrugged at Ally's raised eyebrow. "What?" One of the best ways to keep the nine year old, the seventeen year old and the thirty five year old entertained is to figure out how best to mess with the heads of our 'competition. "Let's just say after a year or maybe it was two." I shrugged, "We landed their overseas contracts and that sent them out of business. Shortly after that the head of the company killed himself and his two sons were sent to live with their mom." I shrugged. I'd sympathized right up with them until a year later when both my parents died. I mean at least they still had one of their parents. All Tony and I had was each other. Ally patted my shoulder gently, but I wasn't finished with my tale. "So that's the story of the Valentino brothers. Well at least that's all it was to me and Tony, a good memory of our father up until a couple of days ago." Dimitri looked at me confused.
"What happened a few day's ago?"
"Well there was this guy. Who tried to kidnap Ally and I awhile back, remember Jacob?" Ally spat on the floor of the truck. "Well I was talking to him that one time Loki and I were locked in the Prison room." I turned to Dimitri who was about to ask another question. "It's a long story. Well anyway. Jacob told me that evil really stood for Ethan Valentino Industries Limited, which I was under the impression was sunk so I did a bit of research and it turns out that his two sons are still alive, Kane is about Tony's age, married and has a career as a chef. Adrian however just graduated from high school and it looks like he's just picked up the family business and is out for blood. I got his address of Facebook. He managed to hide it from police the CIA and the FBI by taking his mothers name but. SHIELD held a record of the name change and like most ignorant people, he put his address on his Facebook page allowing people like me to find his address with the click of a mouse." Dimitri looked impressed, Ally shrugged she was used to my stalker skills. I grinned as the truck pulled to a stop. "Let's have some fun."
"Interrogation, Interrogation, I love my torturous occupation!" I laughed jumping out of the truck. Ally rolled her eyes but nonetheless skipped with me as the three of us made our way up to the front of the imposing warehouse structure, it was old and derelict but the pointed iron fence that surrounded it looked solid and the guards who stood out front looked like the kind of people who shouldn't be messed with. Lucky for us. We were the kind of people who messed with those sorts.
"Good evening gentlemen, my name is Blaze, this is Genie and…" I paused looking at Dimitri. "Shadow. Your masters are expecting us." I finished off with a quirky raise of my eyebrows. They glared at us for a moment whilst someone barked orders at them in those cool walkie-talkies guards have. A moment late the doors opened revealing a thickly set older looking man.
"Miss…?"
"Blaze,"
"Miss Blaze, if you and your friends would care to accompany me, master Adrian will see you in the study." I nodded and we fell into step behind him, the eyes of the guards following us until we passed the threshold and the door slammed shut behind us. The man quickly shepherded us into what I guess used to be the site office. Now it looked like the rest of the warehouse. Sturdy but it need of a woman's touch.
"Master Adrian, a pleasure," I said to the lean boy who sat in the chair opposite the desk.
"Mistress Stark, the pleasure is all mine."
"It's been a while, when was the last time I saw you… was it before or after you had people kidnap me. You need to update your henchmen by the way, they lack challenge. " I said lounging in the chair opposite the solid wooden desk. Ally and Dimitri standing behind me.
"I'll take that under advisement." He said with a sigh. Damn this kid was good, most people would be running for the hills. Or a knife by now. "So, tell me Miss Stark why are you here?"
"You tell me," I replied
"Before my father died," Adrian began. "He asked my brother Kane and I one thing. To get revenge on the people who took everything from him." I raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"That's it. Daddy issues. That's why you tried to have me kidnaped? Just because my family put your daddy out of business?" I rolled my eyes and turned to Ally. "Maybe we should have brought Tony, they could have had a 'My daddy didn't love me enough' pity party." Adrian glared at me
"My brother, Kane ignored my father's request and went to get married. He was okay with you taking our father from us. Our uncle, however regained the family honour by wrecking his revenger upon your family. But for me that wasn't enou-" I cut him off,
"What do you mean your uncle wrecked his revenger upon my family?" Adrian laughed.
"Surely Miss Stark you can't have thought that the car accident that killed your parents was just an accident." Ally placed her hands on my shoulders restraining me.
"You shouldn't have told me that." Adrian smirked.
"And why not?" Now it was my turn to smirk.
"Before I was just going to kick your ass. Now I'm going to make you regret ever being born."
