Kelsey's POV

I was home at Stark Mansion, where me and Pepper were watching the news. It was some sort of weird Stark Industries plan.

"Stark Industries! I've got one recommendation! Ready? Ready? Sell, sell, sell! Abandon ship! Does the Hindenburg ring any bells? Let me show you the new Stark Industries business plan! Look, that's a weapons company that doesn't make weapons!"

I rolled my eyes at the way the guy was talking. He was talking like those commercial people, that try to get you to buy their product even though it isn't good.

Suddenly the intercoms turned on and out came my father's voice, "Pepper. How big are you hands?"

Pepper turned over to the intercom, "What?" She asked confused.

"How big are your hands?" He asked her again.

"I don't understand why..." Pepper started.

"Get down here. I need you." My father said before the intercom cut off. Pepper looked at me confused and I just shrugged my shoulders. Pepper left and went downstairs.

What is my father doing now?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was still watching the news and the guy from before was still on. Pepper came back upstairs but she had something in her hands. It was some sort of reactor.

"What is that?" I asked her pointing at the reactor.

"This is what was keeping your father alive." Pepper answered making my eyes widened.

"What?!" I exclaimed. "What do you mean that was keeping dad alive?!"

"I'm guessing it's some sort of life support. It's the arc reactor." She said.

I got up from the couch and walked up to Pepper. She handed me the arc reactor and I examined it. It was really cool to be honest.

"Why did he give you this?" I asked her.

"He said to throw it out, that it was useless. But I think I have a better idea with it." Pepper explained.

"What do you have in mind?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me and Pepper spent a long time making something for my dad. Instead of a throwing the arc reactor out, we fixed it up and put lettering on it saying....

"PROOF THAT TONY STARK HAS A HEART"

Me and her went downstairs and I saw him working on something. It looked like some sort of armor technology. A flight stabilizer.

Pepper was holding the wrapped up gift and a cup of coffee.

"Up two. All right, set that."

"I've been buzzing you. Did you hear the intercom?" Pepper told him.

"Yeah, everything's... What?" He was distracted still by the flight stabilizer.

"Obadiah's upstairs." I told him.

"Great!"

"What would you like me to tell him?" Pepper asked.

"Great. I'll be right up." Dad answered her.

"Okay. I thought you said you were done making weapons." Pepper mentioned as she saw him using the flight stabilizer.

"It is. This is a flight stabilizer. It's completely harmless." He said before he shoots it at something and flings backwards, scaring me and Pepper.

"Harmless you say." I shouted out.

"I didn't expect that." My father said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me and Pepper were upstairs waiting for my dad to come and talk to Obadiah. To be honest, I didn't like Obadiah that much. He seemed suspicious to me and I don't know why.

My dad came up the stairs to find Obadiah playing the piano, Pepper working on the couch, and me next to Pepper drawing.

"How'd it go? It went that bad, huh?"

"Just because I brought pizza back from New York doesn't mean it went bad." Obadiah told Dad, still playing the piano.

"Sure doesn't. Oh boy."

"It would have gone better if you were there." Obadiah told my dad.

"Uh-huh. You told me to lay low. That's what I've been doing. I lay low, and you take care of all..." My dad sat down

"Hey, come on. In public. The press." Obadiah sat down next to him. "This was a board of directors meeting."

"This was a board of directors meeting?" Dad asked.

"The board is claiming you have post-traumatic stress. They're filing an injunction." Obadiah told him.

"A what?"

"They want to lock you out."

"Why, 'cause the stocks dipped 40 points? We knew that was gonna happen." Dad said completely wrong.

"Fifty-six and a half." Pepper and I corrected him.

"It doesn't matter. We own the controlling interest in the company." I rolled my eyes at this comment.

"Tony, the board has rights, too. They're making the case that you and your new direction isn't in the company's best interest."

"I'm being responsible! That's a new direction for me, for the company. I mean, me on the company's behalf being responsible for the way that... This is great." Dad stood up and grabbed the pizza box. Obadiah followed him.

"Oh, come on. Tony. Tony." Obadiah tried.

"I'll be in the shop." My dad said walking away.

"Hey, hey! Hey, Tony. Listen. I'm trying to turn this thing around, but you gotta give me something. Something to pitch them. Let me have the engineers analyze that. You know, draw up some specs."

"No. No, absolutely not." Dad refused.

"It'll give me a bone to throw the boys in New York!" Obadiah argued.

"This one stays with me. That's it, Obie. Forget it."

"All right, well, this stays with me, then." Obadiah took the pizza box back. "Go on, here, you can have a piece. Take two."

"Thank you."

"You mind if I come down there and see what you're doing?" Obadiah asked.

"Good night Obie." Dad headed back down to his workshop.

Obadiah left not long after and I continued to draw while Pepper worked.

I never was into drawing but I started doing it when my mom introduced me to it. She loved drawing, especially portraits of people.

God, I miss her so much. I wish she was still here with me.

I put my pencil down and closed my eyes, wishing she was here.

I went up to my room and looked at my drawing. It was of me and my mother.

I just wish I was able to hug her one last time. I never even got to say goodbye to her.

Neither did my dad......

Hey guys!! So I just need to rant right now about the latest episode of "Loki".

So if you haven't seen it......SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

So like first of all, I knew there was something up with Ravonna from the beginning. She just seemed suspicious to me and she is!! Also I literally cried when they said Loki liked Sylvie, its kinda weird since it's basically him but it was still adorable!!! Also the scene when Sylvie showed Hunter B-15 her memories, I cried so hard!!

Also when Loki got pruned!! But then the mid credits scene, and all the other Lokis......like omg!!

I also hope Mobius is still alive, because it's unknown what his status is.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed my rant and this chapter. And more is coming soon.

Oh and also Sylvie is my wife now 🖤

Anyway love you all! Bye!!
