LILLIAN looked at Tony.

"What question is that?" She asked.

"Just answer it. Are you from this world?" Tony asked again.

"Of course I am from this world! What? Am I supposed to be an alien?" Lillian said. She wasn't telling the truth. But she can't risk him getting into her problem.

"Well you could be. It's not rare now to have some aliens in this world and beside, if you weren't, then why can't I see some information of you?" Tony asked.

"Well maybe you didn't search enough" She said.

"Oh trust me. I did my research and for some reason, I can't. So I only have one theory. You are an alien" Tony said and Lillian groaned.

"I told you! I'm not an alien! It's not my fault that you aren't smart enough to find some informations of me! Now, let me out of here!" She said.

"No can do, Violetta. I'm still not convince of you not being an alien. You will stay here until you give me real answers" Tony said.

"How many times should I tell you this, old man? I. Am. Not. An. Alien!" Lillian said. She knew Tony was stubborn, but so she was. And she's not backing down from an arguement. Mostly with him.

"Mr. Stark?" They both heard Peter who entered the room.

"You! You tricked me!" Lillian said to Peter. She couldn't believe it. She fell for their trap.

"I'm sorry! But Mr. Stark ordered me! It's not like we're hurting you or something! Please don't be mad!" Peter said.

'Oh God, please don't let me lose a potential partner in crime!!' Peter thought.

"God! How can I be so stupid! I swear! This is the last time I will help you! I won't come if you ever call my name!" Lillian said to Peter who looked sad.

'Great. Way to go, Peter! You just lost a partner! How stupid can you be?!' Peter thought.

"The kid only did what I ordered him." Tony defended Peter. He saw that the mood of Peter went from worried to sad.

"Seriously?!" Lillian yelled. Then she sighed.

"Listen. Just let me go! This is useless" She said.

"Like I said, you are not going anywhere until I get the answer that I want." Tony said.

"Do you want me to lie and say to you that I'm an alien? If I do that would you let me go?" She asked.

"No, because I know when someone lies to my face. And even if you're really an Alien, I would not let you go. Not just yet" He explained.

"Look, I am not a bad person ok? If I was, I would have already did some crimes that would make me bad! But no! All I did was good things!" Lillian said.

"Maybe that's your plan. To have a good side, but in truth, you're already planning something bad and it'll be under our noses" Tony said, making Lillian groan.

"This is so crazy! I can't believe that Tony Stark can be stupid!" Lillian said.

"I am not stupid, kid. I'm only doing my job" Tony said.

"What? To kidnap someone that didn't do anything bad? And stop calling me kid!" She said.

"What is going on here?! I could hear yelling and screaming outside" They heard a voice. They turned around and saw Pepper. Lillian's eyes widened.

'Mom...' She sadly thought.

"Nothing is wrong. We, well, I was just asking her some questions" Tony explained to Pepper who walked closely to them.

"This old man held me here against my own will! And won't let me go" Lillian said.

"You were the one who went here at the Tower"

"Yeah, because I thought I was helping someone!" Lillian said and glared at Peter who looked down.

Pepper sighed and put her left hand to her forehead.

"Honestly, I've been so familiar with him taking kids that have superpowers, that it doesn't surprise me anymore" Pepper said.

"Can you please tell him to let me go?" Lillian asked Pepper who looked at Tony.

"No way. I'm not done yet with questioning her" Tony said.

"Fine! Then I'll just do something that I should have just done before!" She said and tried to use her power to teleport herself somewhere else, but it didn't work.

'What?' She thought.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but you see those ropes" Tony said and pointed out the ropes.

"It stops anyone who has powers to activate their powers. I already thought that something like this might happen, so I made something special" He continued.

"You've got to be kidding me" She said in disbelief.

"Is that really necessary?" Pepper asked and Tony nodded.

"Yes. Because if I didn't put those at her, she would escape easily and would be difficult to trace again." Tony explained.

"Can you please let me go?" Lillian tried again.

"No"

"I-Isn't this too much, Mr. Stark? Not that I'm critisizing or anything, bu-"

"If she would just tell the truth, she would be free from now" Tony said, not letting Peter finish what he was about to say.

"Tony, she's just a kid" Pepper said.

"Yeah and I think it's illegal to kidnap kids!" Lillian agreed and Pepper looked at her, well not that she can see her perfectly as she was wearing a cloak. But Pepper couldn't shake something off. Why do she feel so..warm when she looked at her.

Lillian noticed how Pepper was staring at her and gulped. She couldn't help but to be nervous.

"I think you should let her go" Pepper said and Lillian looked at her happily, meanwhile, Tony looked at her shock and annoyed.

"Tony, like she said before, it is illegal to take a kid here by force. And it's bad! So just let go of her" Pepper said.

"But Pepper, I still need to get answers from her" Tony said.

"Well you can put some detecting device on her leg or wrist. That way you'll know where she is" Pepper suggested.

"Now that's just illegal too!" Lillian said. She was shocked. She wasn't expecting her mom would suggest something like that.

"I kinda like that idea" Tony said and Lillian shook her head.

"No! There's no way you're putting something at me! I'd rather stay here tied up than being stalked!" Lillian yelled.

"Well if that's what you want.."

"Tony!"
