A/N: Thank you all for the love I have been getting on this story so far. That being said there is a lot of people saying that I need a beta, all of my stories are un-beta'd. This is not by choice but more by the fact that I have no one with the time to read my stories. I have stated this in my last story it is also posted on my profile. That being said I do my best with spell check and Microsoft Word. Thanks for understanding. Now back to the story!
Xx T.S. POV 6 months later xX
"Sir, you told me to inform you of any anomalies in Mr. Stane's files that was not part of normal Stark Industry work. I have found a few unauthorized shipments of stark weapons and a Trust fund that was feeding from Mr. Stane's personal company card. It seems that he was sponsoring a young girl named Hermione." J.A.R.V.I.S. stated to Tony Stark as he was working in his shop.
That stopped Tony from tinkering with his iron man suit. "pull up the details J. I want to know why Obie would sponsor some random girl, and even so why put it on his personal card and not make a grant through the company instead?"
Tony walked away from his workstation over to the nearest screen. J.A.R.V.I.S. pulled up all the data that Obadiah had horded about Hermione, her grades, honors in school (A honor roll in all grades completed), cost of the schools she was going to, and all her emails including the ones about her plans for collage that were un-opened. Tony was shocked, Obie was sponsoring a kid genius. J.A.R.V.I.S. also pointed out that she had even published a paper about Alternative power sources that they themselves pulled from to work on Stark tower. Then Tony got to the last few documents one being the DNA tests comparing Hermione to himself and the other being a contract with Hellen saying that she would only contact Obie if she needed anything from SI for Hermione. Claiming that Tony wanted nothing to do with the kid, with Tony's signature at the bottom forged.
"Son of a Bitch! Obie STOLE MY KID FROM ME! J.A.R.V.I.S. I want to know everything about her. It looks like she is a FUCKING Prodigy, I want to meet her. Shit, she may be even smarter than me and she may hate me! I want her schooling funded. I don't want her talent wasted. Get a hold of pepper I need her to get in contact with them. I want Hellen to know that I knew nothing about this, about our daughter. See if we can find a time for her to meet me then we can talk about meeting my daughter."
"Of course, sir. I do not have a listed telephone number for Mrs. Granger, but I did find an email address in the files found in Mr. Stane's server. I have sent the email stating that upon review of Mr. Stane's files we discovered his sponsoring of Miss. Granger and we would like to continue funding her schooling, should she be applicable to provide a number for us to contact her at. we would be able to discuss new terms for said funding. Including you being able to see your daughter in those terms. I have also gotten a hold of Miss. Potts; she is in route to the house as we speak. I did not inform her of what you wished to talk to her about as I believe it would have been too much of a shock to her as she is driving. I am sure you would not wish for her to get into an accident on the road."
"Good looking out J." Tony said as he slumped back into his workstation chair. A daughter. How was he supposed to be a dad? Would she even want him to be her dad now, after so many years? He had so many questions and no way to get answers besides waiting for Hellen to get back to him.
Xx H.G. POV xX
"Stupid Dean, Stupid head of admissions, Stupid head of financial aid. So what that I am 11, I was a valedictorian. I should qualify for grants. 'I am sorry Miss. Granger, but we need to use this money for the young adults that meet the age requirements to even attend our school.' Bull crap! They just don't want to let me in now that I don't have SI backing me. Dang it, Obie you couldn't wait half a year before trying to kill my father… you put a real cramp on my education. Now I have to fund myself if I want to go to college before I hit 16." Hermione fumed to herself as she was walking down the hall taking off her Mary jane heels that she wore to the meeting with the college administrators.
She had gotten them to ok her coming into the school if she found her own funding, but she would not qualify for grants or loans until she was older. If only she could tell them that Iron Man was her father. They would be falling all over themselves to let me in but nooo, Thanks to Mr. Ivan Vanco any association to her father would just paint a giant target on her head. Well nothing to do for it now. Hermione walked into her room throwing her shoes in to her closet.
"L.A.I.L. are you up?" her computer screen lit up and her speakers responded.
"yes, my lady, what is it you require?"
"I need to know how my investments are doing, I am going to need to sell some of them soon to pay for school. I need to be sure I am selling at peek points, to maximize the money I get from them. School is not cheap, and I have a lot of books to buy if I am going to get what I want to get done as fast as possible. Also, I need to use the any extra money to expand your hard drive. I need you to be a better version of J.A.R.V.I.S. and that can't happen if your stuck in my little desktop hard drive."
Hermione saw her father's presentation of J.A.R.V.I.S. to Obie that Obie had recorded. Naturally she had to make a better one with an easier name. Just A Really Very Intelligent System, I mean really… At least hers was shorter. Lifelike Artificially Intelligent Lady, and after she got her degree in engineering, she was going to build her a body. I mean what's the point in having an assistant that has no physical presence to be of assistance.
"Stark Industries stock is up 100 points after your fathers defeat of Mr. Vanco. Now would be an opportune time to sell 4 shares of stock you bought with your thesis money to gain enough money to get tuition and your books covered for a semester. I would also recommend leaving the other 6 shares in the company alone. So, you could build more equity and have something to fall back on should you need another semester to complete your schooling. I have run the numbers and you have a 68% chance of needing another semester to complete your doctorates my lady."
"Understood, send the email to our broker and have him sell the 4 shares. I also want you to fill out the forms required to have me join this summer's semester. I don't want to wait any longer I am already 6 months behind schedule. Also print me out a book list for school and let me know when the money from the sale is in my account. I want to get my books as soon as possible. I can and will teach myself as much as possible before I actually attend class."
"yes, my lady it will be done."
With that Hermione turned back to her closet taking off her skirt and blouse to change into a pair of jeans and a cotton jumper. Got to enjoy the small things like comfort. Just as she finished changing there was a knock on the front door. Hermione could hear someone talking to her mom.
"Hermione can you come down here for a minute." Her mom yelled up the stairs to her.
A/N: Sorry guys I know cliff hangers suck! But I couldn't help myself. I am sure if you guys do the math you know who is at the door. I want to hear your guys guesses. I just can't stop writing this so you should get another update sooner rather than later. Tell next time.
