"The Revelation"
Okay, after this, I think the next chapter will be the last one. Please enjoy and review!
Once Stane was announced dead and his crimes were alerted to the world, the media kept demanding for a press conference with Tony to confirm if this was the truth, but he refused to give them any attention.
Instead, he was spending time with his family who were all helping Bucky get used to the new time period he found himself living in with people who were happy to welcome him into their lives.
Jun seemed obsessed with giving the handsome man a makeover, but he kept running off to hide much to Davey's amusement since she knew how he felt about being turned into her sister's personal Barbie doll.
When she finally got her hands on him, Jun had trimmed his hair since he didn't want it to be cut too short.
Jun asked him why and he bashfully admitted that it was because Davey had said she loved his hair long which had the magenta haired woman smirking wickedly at him and he felt like running off to hide again when he saw the look on her face.
Needless to say; Jun was the one from the Stark-Motomiya family that scared him the most.
Davey's 18th birthday was quickly approaching and there were preparations being made.
She had decided that it was finally time for her to come out to the world and she felt very nervous about speaking in front of a huge crowd of reporters, but she was trying to prepare for it.
Bucky decided that he wanted to go as well to provide comfort and support for the young woman, although he was going to be hiding behind the scenes so that no one recognized him.
He had stopped shaving so he could have a new beard to make himself unrecognizable to anyone who may be searching for him.
Finally, the day had arrived for the press conference where Davey would be revealed to the world and she was in her room getting ready and also trying not to panic at what would happen.
Meanwhile, Bucky had decided to speak with Tony about a memory that had been plaguing him for a while now.
Dressed in a black suit, Bucky made his way into the office where Tony was standing, texting on his phone and checking over the schedule for the day.
The man was wearing a blue suit and he looked ready for the event that was about to un fold.
"Tony?" Bucky called.
"Hey, Buckster, what's up?" Tony asked shoving his phone in his pocket.
"We need to talk." Bucky said nervously.
He could only imagine the way the man would react to the news and was worried that he would never be able to see Davey again after this event.
Hearing the serious tone in the man's voice and seeing the worry on his face, Tony walked over to speak with him and wondered what was wrong with him.
"Okay. What is it?" Tony asked.
"…I-I killed your parents." Bucky revealed.
Stunned by the news, Tony stared at the brown haired super soldier, unable to believe what he had heard.
"My parents died in a car crash." Tony finally said.
Shaking his head, Bucky stared at the ground in despair as the memory of the event flashed through his mind.
"It was an order. Howard Stark had something in his trunk that my handlers wanted. They sent me after him. I caused the car crash and stole his briefcase from the trunk. I didn't expect there to be a woman there, too. I'm so sorry." Bucky said as tears started to fall.
Staring at the man in front of him, Tony saw how broken he was over what he had done and felt his heart go out to the man.
Tony felt horrified to learn that someone had killed his parents, but he couldn't bring himself to hurt or hate Bucky since the man had protected his daughter and he felt regret over what he had done.
Stepping closer, Tony placed his hand on Bucky's shoulder, stunning the man who looked up at him with wounded eyes.
"My mom was sick. She was already dying and was in constant pain. You put her out of her misery. And as for my dad… We never saw eye to eye. He was never a father to me. Never once spent any time with me at all when I was growing up. Also…you weren't in your right mind when it happened." Tony comforted.
"Why are you being so nice to me? I killed your parents, Davey's grandparents! I don't deserve any kindness from you guys after what I did." Bucky pulled away from the man.
Sighing at this, Tony shrugged and fought back the tears he felt building in his own eyes at the fact that his mother's killer was living in his home but steeled his emotions and reminded himself that Bucky wasn't in control of his actions.
"Dad?" Someone called.
Jumping to attention, the two men turned around to find Davey stepped into the room, wearing a white summer dress, silver kitten heels and her hair had been curled while her lips were painted pink.
The Soul Stone was around her neck as usual and it shone in the lighting of the room.
"Is something wrong?" Davey asked in concern.
"Nope, nothing at all." Tony grinned.
He stepped in front of Bucky, hiding the man who was furiously trying to dry his tears before Davey noticed and started asking him relentless questions.
"Princess, you look so beautiful. I can't believe I have to share you with the world now. Are you sure you don't want to wait a few more years? Or maybe ten more?" Tony asked.
"Dad, people are going to figure it out sooner or later. Especially with SHIELD snooping around and bugging us. It's time." Davey told him.
Sighing at this, Tony placed his hands on her shoulders and placed a kiss to her forehead, wishing that he could keep her locked up in a tower where she would be safe until the day he died.
"Okay, princess. Let's get moving then. You know how pissy the press can get if you keep them waiting." Tony joked.
"No kidding. I really hope I don't have to deal with that blonde slut that tried to throw herself at you a few months ago. What's her name again? Christine Evergreen?" Davey asked.
"I think it's Everhart. Whatever. It's best not to bother remembering their names. It makes them think they're important to you." Tony advised.
Davey chuckled at that and turned her attention onto Bucky who had dried his tears and was smiling over at the girl, ready to go with her to a very important day.
Holding his arm out towards Davey, the super soldier gave her a smile and she linked her arm with the metal one she had constantly been working on.
"You're going to do great, krolik. Don't worry so much." Bucky told her.
"Can't help it. My stomach is all in knots." Davey groaned as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Soon enough, the Stark-Motomiya family all drove off to the building where the press conference was being held and Rhodey was with them for support while Pepper was speaking to Coulson who had also arrived to give the girl some support.
Tony walked out onto the mini stage that was made up and cameras started flashing, taking pictures of the man as he stood before the crowd.
"All right. Now, I know everyone is here because they want to know about what happened with Stane. And to answer your questions, yes, Stane has been making illegal transactions to terrorist groups. He had plans of taking over my company by trying to get me killed. When the 10 Rings failed, he tried to kill me himself. What he didn't know was that even f I had died, my company wouldn't simply be handed over to him. It would be handed over to the next in line." Tony said.
Everyone grew silent, but there were a few people whispering on in curiosity as they wondered what was going to happen next.
Clearing his throat and gathering up his nerves, Tony tried to prepare himself for what he was about to do.
"Okay, so, 18 years ago today, my most prized creation was born. Ladies and gentleman, I would like you all to finally meet Davia Katia Maria Stark, my daughter." Tony held his hand out to the side.
Everyone exploded in shock and excitement at the news and turned their attention to the side of the stage as they watched the raspberry haired young woman making her way over to her father, smiling shyly at the audience.
Unknown to Davey, her former classmates back in Odaiba were staring at their TV screens in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Yolei fell off her couch, her mind going numb as she couldn't believe that the girl she used to pick fights with was the heir to a powerful business.
Kari was stunned, but soon started to realize why Davey was always trying to stay out of the limelight and kept her brilliant mind hidden.
As for Izzy, he wasn't stunned at all.
He had his suspicions about Davey for a long time and was smirking over the fact that he was right about his theory on the girl being Tony Stark's daughter.
After all, she looked quite a bit like him and seemed to have the same interests and sense of humor as the man.
Walking over to her father, Davey was pulled into a hug and felt him place a kiss to her head.
"You know, we can still get out of here if you want." Tony suggested.
"When have you ever known me to back down from a challenge?" Davey asked.
Chuckling at that, Tony pulled out of the hug, but kept a hand on her back and pushed her towards the podium where the microphones were set up.
"Okay, um, this is my first ever press conference, so you'll excuse me if I'm bad at this." Davey chuckled lightly.
A few of the reporters chuckled as well which helped to put her at ease.
"Okay, well… My name is Davey Stark, but I'm sure that most people who have met me over the years know me as Davey Motomiya. I was born a few months before my grandparents' death, so they couldn't really announce my existence to the world. Now, I'm sure you all have a bunch of questions for me, but I'd just like to clear a few things up for everyone. My father kept me a secret, not because he was ashamed of me, but to keep me safe. You probably don't know this, but my grandfather Howard had many enemies. And those enemies struck back at him by going after my father when he was a child. He had so many kidnapping scares happen to him that they've lost count. My dad wanted me to be hidden from the world to keep me safe. Being a Stark pretty much has a target painted on our backs. My dad made sure I was a secret from the world so I would have a chance of going to school and having a regular childhood, something that my father and grandfather didn't get to have." Davey explained.
Everyone was silent as they listened to the girl speak and she looked around at the people in the crowd, finding Coulson standing with Happy, Rhodey and Pepper was they stared up at her.
"I'm 18 now and I'm being trained to take over the company. I've already worked with my father to make some changes. And yes, Stark Industries will no longer be making weapons. we will not be held responsible for what the people who buy these weapons do with them. There are better things our company can do." Davey said.
Looking back over at her father, she met his eyes and he nodded, deciding to be the one to take over.
"Okay, and that's it for now. Sorry, but it's my little girl's birthday. We're going to celebrate. Don't worry, this won't be the last time any of you will get to see her. Have a good day, people!" Tony blew a mocking kiss to the audience.
Davey laughed and quickly rushed off the stage, running into the arms of Bucky who hugged her tightly, comforting her as she felt the anxiety of the day flow out of her.
"Oh my god, that was so intense!" Davey whined as she buried her face in his chest.
Bucky laughed at that as Veemon, Jun, Tony and Tatia all gathered around the couple.
"It's all right, it's over now." Tatia comforted.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Jun asked.
"We're going to get something to eat. I'm starving." Tony said making everyone laugh.
"I think everyone here is always hungry." Veemon commented.
"Brooklyn…" Bucky frowned.
"What about Brooklyn?" Davey asked looking up at him.
"There was this diner in Brooklyn. They made the best burgers and pizza. It was my favorite place to go to. Steve and I went there almost every day." Bucky said.
Veemon and Davey felt worried that Tony would tense up and get angry at hearing Steve Rogers being mentioned, but the man seemed to be grinning and was relaxed.
"Off to Brooklyn we go." Tony decided.
Everyone then made their way out the back entrance, making their way to the car they had waiting on them, careful not to be noticed by the press.
Sitting down in her seat, Davey pulled off her heels and relaxed against Bucky, feeling content now that she was away from the stressful environment.
"You okay?" Bucky asked her as he wrapped an arm around her.
"Yeah, I'm good. I think I'm still trying to process what just happened." Davey said as she placed a hand on his chest, gaining comfort from the super soldier.
"You'll be fine. I know you will." Bucky said as he rubbed her back.
Smiling, Davey looked out over the car at her family who were all talking and enjoying their time together as they made their way to Brooklyn.
Smiling, Davey felt happy at that moment and hoped that, even though things would get tough, that she would always have these amazing people in her life.
With them at her side, she could accomplish anything.
