Take Me Home (Tony/Open)

[safetytronic]

Abby held on tightly throughout the entire flight. She watched the city lights below her sparkle and twinkle as they flew over the Big Apple. She had almost didn’t hold her breath when Tony told her to, but she made it just in time. However, the take off wasn’t the only thing that had left her breathless. She of course had never experienced a view like that below her. He seemed to be steering them to a tower that housed apartments and penthouses. She recognized it at Stark Tower, and she couldn’t help but smirk. Not because she knew that he recognized her as his daughter, but because she had a place to live for the time being.

She held on to his neck tightly when she thought they were going to land, as she didn’t want to be dropped or anything of that nature. She also couldn’t help but wonder what damage control was needed from the press about their departure for the warehouse. She closed her eyes for a brief moment in order to let the stress from her weeks of captivity leave her as well as that strange man’s way of frustrating her. When she opened her eyes, they had landed safely. She looked up to him and then around her surroundings, and she was like a kid in a candy store. ”So this is what it looks like from the inside…” She muttered as she tried to take it all in.

[TONY STARK]

As Tony flew through the city he noticed Abigail looking through the city lights as it hit her. He pondered what he was going to say to the press to get them off his back now. They were going to have a field day when they question him at the next press conference. Tony simply looked at where he was flying not really wanting to think about it now. All he wanted to do was have a nice drink and work on his cars down in his shop. As he got close the Stark Tower gleamed with his name brightly lit on the top. As he flew closer and closer he looked down a bit to the city, who he could see people pointing and cheering as he flew by. He smirked a bit as he was coming in for a landing with in his penthouse, in the Stark Tower.

He gently put her down, watching her look around the place in amazement as she took what she was seeing in. It was only first floor, but still it was amazing. The front piece of his helmet lifted up showing his face, as he went over to the bar. He grabbed a bottle of aged whiskey and poured it into a cup. Tony put some ice in it and slowly started to down it like it was water. He really needed that, so he poured himself another and started drinking downing it again. "You most likely want something to eat and to take a bath right? there's a bath on the second floor, near the bath is a towel rack you can use one of them. As for food I'll be right back hope you like a good fashioned American cheese burgers" he said. After saying what he had to say his helmet closed shut as he started running. He then jumped out of the window he just entered and flew off to a burger joint near by.

[safetytronic]

Abby watched as Tony went immediately over to the bar and poured him a cup of spirit. From the scent she gathered it was whiskey, and watched again as he quickly downed it. He then proceeded to pour another one and empty it just as quickly. She thought that perhaps he may have a drinking problem, but then again he was a multimillion dollar playboy. He can do just about anything he wanted. She turned around in her spot to get a 360 degree view of the room, and it’s architecture. It of course was amazing to say the least. She recognized some of the influences from a book she had read some five years ago just for fun.

"You most likely want something to eat and to take a bath right? there's a bath on the second floor, near the bath is a towel rack you can use one of them. As for food I'll be right back hope you like a good fashioned American cheese burgers"

She nodded her head, and knew that good old fashion American cheeseburgers sound divine right about then. She then watched as he took off for her food, and she in turn went upstairs to search out the fore mentioned towel rack and bathroom. She found them rather quickly, and grabbed what she would need to get cleaned up. She then entered the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror to see that her nice set of clothes she had on when she was taken was now dirty, filthy rags. There was no way she could even wear them again, so she quickly undress and hopped into the shower.

She emerge half an hour later feeling much better, and found to her surprise a set of clothes for her to wear. She had no idea on where they came from or who had left them there for her, but she didn’t waste no time in putting them on. Once she was presentable, she returned downstairs to see if Tony had returned.

[TONY STARK]

As Tony flew around he looked for a perfect Burger joint so he could also eat. And what do you know he came across a good one which was one of his favorites, burger king. He smirked a bit as he went inside with his suit and lifted up the Iron man mask. Tony over looked the food choices and ordered some of the burgers there. The cashier and the rest of the people inside as him if he was Iron Man. Tony raised a brow, "Sometimes". As he got his recite, he went over to wait for his food to be given to him as he thought about Abigail. He wondered how they he come to have a daughter. How was it possible in the first place, it would have to happen years ago. But his thoughts were cut short as one of the personal at the place presented him with his food. "Can you leave it there, I don't like people handing me things" he told the person. They looked at him a bit, as they placed the bag on the counter. Tony waited for a few seconds before picking it up and leaving the nearest exit, taking off.

He the got on his comm with in his helmet and told one of the maids that takes care of the three floors to go and buy Abigail some new cloths. Once he got the confirmation, he sped up making sure however that the food didn't rip out of his hands. Once he got back he heard Abigail taking a shower, and it seemed like the maid did what she had to do, leaving him the recite of the purchase. He then took of his helmet, and walked over to a holographic dial in which he turned. Once doing so the entire first floor lit up brightly, turning on the huge flat screen, playing the news.

Apparently Tony Stark was caught leaving with the daughter of Isabelle Rasmussen, slightly proving that she was indeed his daughter. It continued on to say how will this effect him and his company along with his Hero alter self Iron Man. He raised a brow a bit, "You know you could do me the curtsy and at least mention the people I save once and a while". He placed the bag of food on the counter and grabbed another drink for himself. He sat down on the couch still in his Iron Man suit as he heard Abigail come down the stairs. While he was sipping on his drink he looked over to her, "The food's over there if your hungry".

[safetytronic]

Abby walked into a brightly lit room instead of the slightly more dim and quiet room that she had departed half an hour ago. She could smell the delicious burgers on the counter across the room from her, and of course her stomach rumbled. She didn’t have to be told twice as she of course was starving. The food they gave her wouldn’t have even been approved for prisoners. She approached the bag, but stopped when she realized she didn’t have anything to drink. She sighed and walked over to the bar and poured herself a glass of orange juice. She returned to the food and snatched it up before walking over to the flat screen and listened to what they were saying on the news as well. She had caught his comment about mentioning the people he save and smirked.

She sat down near him, not wanting to crowd him, and looked at him for a moment. ”Well, you saved me from getting crushed and horded by the press. Thank you.” She said as she unwrapped a burger and biting into it. She savored the taste, and then looked at him again. It seemed that she hadn’t noticed he was still in his armor. ”It’s comfortable, isn’t?” She asked him knowing that if it wasn’t he would have taken it off by now. She then dug into the Burger King bag and brought out one of the burgers and offered it to him. She gathered he must be hungry as well, as he did most of the hard work tonight to get her out alive.

[TONY STARK]

Tony after know she went to get her food, he looked over to the t.v and watched it a bit. He then heard some shuffling in the bar area, he knew she wouldn't touch the alcohol, she didn't look like she would. As Tony sat in his suit, he placed two fingers on his forehead and his thumb on his chin. He couldn't believe the day he was having to many odd occurrences for one day. One finding out that he had a daughter that was basically right under his nose. Then a bionic man, tells him he has things he must discuss with him, and then disappears in a flash of light. Imean who does his exits, that was a little to cliche he thought to himself. He broke his thought for a moment when he noticed Abigail walk over to him and sit a little away from him watching the news program.

"Yeah didn't save me from having this light turn off on me when you told me I was your father" he told her with a smirk. He continued to take a sip from his glass of whiskey. Tony looked over to with the glass still on his mouth as she asked if the suit was comfortable. "Yeah, if I could sleep in it I would, but you know then I might fall almost a hundred and thirty floors down" he told her with a slight chuckle. Tony then noticed her offering him one of the burgers he bought. He scratched his neck a bit, "Yeah I'll have just put it down on the coffee table there, I don't really like having things handed to me". It was one of his pet peeves that he really couldn't help, just didn't like having things handed to him.

[safetytronic]

Abby swallowed the bite that was in her throat when he told her that he didn’t think it was cool the way she told him he was her dad. ”Well, I only found out moments before you arrived.” She noticed his smirk and knew he wasn’t angry with her. She raised her eyebrow when he mentioned that sleeping in the suit would cause him to fall nearly to the ground floor. She somehow knew the armor was heavy, and took a sip from her glass of orange juice. She truly needed the vitamin C that it contained. She was surprised that she didn’t end up sick because of the lack of hygiene she was forced to endure.

"Yeah I'll have just put it down on the coffee table there, I don't really like having things handed to me"

She shrugged her shoulders, and perhaps the thumb drive was a necessity. She didn’t dwell on it though. She had a thing about people she didn’t know touch her, and if she wasn’t too hungry she would have spent a lot more time in the shower to get the creepy crawling feeling of the people that took her off of her skin. So she laid the burger down on the coffee table in front of him. ”These are really good. Better than the ones by my…” She trailed off as she almost said house. It was no longer there. ”…where my house used to stand.” She corrected herself, but her attention was caught by a new report on the screen.

It was her conniving uncle conducting a press conference. He basically said that he was asking the board of trusties to sign over the remaining shares of the company to him. The only shares that didn’t belong to him were the four that now belonged to her. His reason for asking? She was unstable due to the trauma she had suffered the last few weeks in that warehouse. She felt her anger flared. He hadn’t even seen her and he said she was traumatized! How preposterous! She felt the muscle in her jaw twitch in anger, and her empty hand balled up into a fist. She couldn’t say anything at the moment, but she knew she couldn’t let him take away what was left to her by her mom.

[TONY STARK]

Tony looked to her as she place the burger on the coffee table which was just waiting for him to pick it up. But before he did he noticed he was running a bit low on whiskey. So he got up real quick and poured some more into the cup as he went to sit back down. He then picked up the burger and unwrapped it and bit down on it. He remember when he had his first couple of burgers when he escaped from captivity. They tasted like golden bricks that were purposely soften for him to eat. They were delicious, though the events that happened afterwords was less then appetizing. Tony continued to much on his burger as he looked out the window and saw all the buildings, There neon lights shinning bright, giving who ever was staring off out into the city a show. He smirked a bit as he finished up his burger and crumbled up the wrapping. He looked over to the trash can not to far from where they were and threw it in. "I don't know about you but I think I need to be on my own basketball team".

He then looked over to her as she continued to munch down her burgers as if they were little fries. He smiled in till she was about to speak about her house then hesitated for a moment. He looked at her understanding how she felt about losing her home. But before he could say anything the news had a new report. It seemed to be her uncle asking the board to give him Abigail's share of the company. He raised a brow a bit, "He can't really do that. Your still under aged, it's only when your older they can do that. The second you take over the company they can but at the moment he's just barking up a leafless tree" he said with a smile. Business was one of Tony's many games, and if it was anything he knew he couldn't simply take the shares away.

Tony got up, "hey be right back, going to take this suit off" he said as he walked over to a stair case leading to his workshop. He then climbed down the stairs, inputting the password and opening the door. Tony walked over to a work padding on the floor and told Jarvis to initiate taking off the suit. As the suit started to come off they were being loaded back into the casing where it was originally. He moved a bit before going back up stairs in a pollo and some jeans. Tony then downed his drink, and pour himself another getting ready to drink again.

[safetytronic]

Abby smiled when he made his comment about being on his own basketball team. She couldn’t argue with him. It was a good shot. As he was staring out the window, she was staring at the impressive penthouse around her. She had hoped that she could roam the place later or at least be given a tour of it. The latter she wouldn’t possibly end up lost and in trouble. She couldn’t actually believe her luck, and she wondered how she ended up like this.

"He can't really do that. Your still under aged, it's only when your older they can do that. The second you take over the company they can but at the moment he's just barking up a leafless tree"

She turned to look at him upon his statement on what her uncle was trying to do. ”Oh, I know that. It’s just that he says I’m traumatized when he has yet to even see me. Plus, mom’s parents made sure that he can’t get his greedy hands on the whole company. Thus why mom and I were left with a trust fund upon their deaths, and that either one of us couldn’t take control of the company back unless something happened to him.” She responded to him as she took a sip from her juice. She then continued to polish off her meal.

"hey be right back, going to take this suit off"

Abby only nodded her head telling him that she understood and continued to eat. She was kind enough to leave him two more burgers on the coffee table. She had then gotten up and threw away her trash in the garbage can. Now that he had disappeared somewhere, she wondered around the room. She admired the technology infused décor and when she touched a pad on the wall of a corner, an AI male voice told her that she didn’t have authorization to access it. She raised an eyebrow, ”We shall see about that…” She told the program and looked around for a computer. She found one surprisingly enough in the area where her and her father were sitting. She opened it, and quickly accessed it and began to write a program. This is what she was doing when he returned in his jeans and polo shirt. She noticed him go back to his whiskey, and she was finished with her program.

She hit send, and went back to the panel she had touched earlier, denying her access. She pressed it again, and surprisingly it granted her what it denied her earlier.

[TONY STARK]

Before Tony went down to the shop he heard her explanation on how her uncle, before even seeing her saying she was traumatized. He of course knew how she felt, seeing as the same happen to him when he came back from captivity. Though the circumstances where different they were similar in a way. One difference was he was the owner of the company while Obadiah tried to take the company for himself. Even trying to kill Tony and Pepper in the process. Ah the technology and power, what it can do to people. Of course Tony himself wasn't free of guilt either, he was responsible for some of the things happening. A better reason then any other to dawn the Iron Man suit. What better way to help people then to be a hero to them, to give them hope. At least that's what he tells himself.

As he was coming up the stairs before he went to the bar, Jarvis gave him and update that someone with in the penthouse was hacking around the security parameters. He raised a brow not really giving it a second guess on who it could be. When he reached the bar and poured himself a drink he looked to Abigail as she was finishing up on the computer. He smirked a bit, gulping down the drink like water as he saw her approach the panel. He leaned back on the chair he was sitting on turning his head slightly, fully knowing what was going to happen. When she gain access, he took out his pocket panel, and decided to mess with her little 'program'. Tony drew circles in the small panel typing in some words and decrypts.

Finally when he was done, the alarm went off saying warning, warning unauthorized access, cleansing to begin in five seconds. He put the pocket panel back into his pocket to see what her reaction was at the moment.

[safetytronic]

Abby knew that her father had complete control over the security systems, so of course it didn’t surprise her the least in when the alarm went off and retracted her access. The cleansing didn’t sound to good either. She rushed to the computer she had been using, looked at the decrypts and automatically started typing. Her brain was working lightening fast and with one second to spare, she had broken through the decrypts and stopping the alarm. However, it also caused her to revoke her access to the panel as well. She looked up at Tony, and he seemed to be seeing what her reaction would have been. It was as if he was testing her…

”I knew that was you, but what exactly is cleansing?” She asked him with her head tilted to the side. She wanted to know what would have happened if she didn’t break through his decryptions in time. ”I was only curious, I swear it.” She finally explained as she got up and approached him. She didn’t want him made at her, as she most likely had just broken his trust. Not only was she just curious, but she was also just testing herself as well. It wouldn’t be a good idea to get him angry at her for attempting to break into whatever it was that she wasn’t allowed access to there.

Abby stopped just beside the other chair next to him, and looked down at the floor. ”And sometime I get bored very easily, so I test myself.” She had hoped he would stay something to her, anything really. She couldn’t tell if he was angry at her, upset, or what….

[TONY STARK]

Tony looked to Abigail as she rushed back to the computer surprised of the cleansing protocol. He was actually quite proud of how fast she worked, she worked as fast as he could. Which in it's self was that he his genius was a given trait and not something just at random. But even with her skill and his, he still felt like they were still right behind his dad. Her grandfather most likely would run laps around both Tony, and Abigail given the chance. Though they wouldn't be able to get the chance however. He stood silent as she worked for the remaining couple of seconds she had before the 'cleansing' commenced. Once she was done the alarm shut off, still denying her the access that she wanted. Tony folded his arms a bit as he looked to the panel and back to Abigail.

Tony watched as she approached him, asking him what was up with the cleansing. It was funny how she wondered what it was and what it could do, seeing as they were in a pretty high tech penthouse. He didn't answer at first seeing how much he could pull out of her. Which the waiting to answer actually slightly paid off. Tony listened to her explanation to why she was accessing restricted panels. He laughed a bit as he saw he approach him with her head slightly down. She looked like she really didn't want him mad at her. But truth be told he was actually the opposite of mad right now, he was happy and proud. For if she didn't even try he wouldn't even be able to believe that she was his daughter. He also heard her say about her getting bored, which might be the beginning of what he has which is ADD.

He looked at her with a brow raised with a slight smirk on his face before he decided to talk. "I'm not mad at you Abby, actually I'm glad you tried. If you didn't I would have deny any linking between you and me. I mean what kid of the Stark family doesn't try to get what they want?". He put his hand on her head and rubbed her hair a bit, "But next time ask me, because that cleansing, it shuts down the entire apartment and throws out a noxious gas that would knock you out in till I arrived and I did the cleansing" he continued.

[safetytronic]

Abby looked up when his first words reach her ears. He wasn’t mad at her, but glad she tried. So it was a test, and it seemed that she had passed. With flying colors it seemed. So she was officially a member of the Stark family, and that is all she needed to hear. She was a Stark. She celebrated in her head for a few moments, and smirked to herself. She so wanted to hug him, and tell him how grateful she was. However what he told her next made her understand something about the security protocols in the penthouse.

"But next time ask me, because that cleansing, it shuts down the entire apartment and throws out a noxious gas that would knock you out in till I arrived and I did the cleansing"

She nodded her head in complete understanding of what it was now, and her chemistry isn’t good enough to battle any effects of noxious gases. So her trying to access restricted areas are put on hold for the time being. She didn’t even smoother her hair back into place, which if someone knew her would say was a big compliant as she didn’t like just anybody touch her. Her response to this whole conversation was of course to close the distance between them and wrap her arms around him, careful of his drink, and give him a hug. When she let him go, she looked back at the panel she tried to access. ”So what is behind the panel anyway?” She asked him politely, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to let it drop until she found out what it was.

[TONY STARK]

Tony was glade that she did happen to hack into the panel, it gave him a glimpse into her abilities. Which again where exactly similar to him, which made him proud of her. It was indeed the perfect test of sorts to say the least to show her best skills. And now he got a hint at what she could do he can at least entertain her with some hard programming stuff on her times off as practice. He doesn't want her hacking into panels and end up getting caught in the protocol security systems. The system wasn't perfect of course, it was something he did on his spare time that wasn't to time consuming. But it was still dangerous if you messed up even on code, the system would know you where hacking it. And if that happen it would most likely do something two times as worse then gassing you out.

He smiled when she hugged him as he hugged her back slightly making sure he didn't spill his drink on her. Tony found her curiosity quite cute and funny actually as if she was fully determined to find out what that panel did. She would be surprised if anything that it was a simple device that actually did simple things. It was one of the manual controls for the first floor, controlling the air temperature, the electricity flowing threw it and all. He smirked a bit, "That controls the basic stuff here on the first floor. Such as Temperature, electricity flow into the room, air flow, if the windows should have tint or be open and so on". He wondered how she was going to act to find out that all it did was just control the necessity of the room.

[safetytronic]

Abby smiled back at him and then turned toward the panel. Her mind doing it’s thing and she suddenly understood. ”It is basically a big custom made universal remote. It controls the air, electricity, windows, lights, and something called Jarvis.” She finally told him. She truly didn’t know how she knew that, but she just did. It always happened when she faced with something she hadn’t experienced before. She even knew how his suit had worked and put together. She then returned her attention back to him and cocked her head to the other side as if thinking.

”What is Jarvis? Is he like Maria?” She finally asked him. Maria was her baby, her house maid, before she was blown up along with her mother. She had done the female AI for a school protect, which she of course had aced with ease, and decided to keep her and continued to work on her in her spare time. So she wondered if this Jarvis was her father’s Maria, and if so would he mind her looking at his programming.
