Rubbing my neck discreetly, I went out to see what the commotion was. There I see my dad , in the ring where the race was gonna be held in roughly five minutes.

"Whats the use of having, and owning a race car, if you don't drive it?" He called out to the audience as now went into the car.

Pepper came up behind me, face full of worry.

"What is wrong with your dad." She mumbled out.

"Natalie. Where's Happy. I need Happy right now." She said to Natalie, who rushed out in the next second.

We watched as they checked everything, and then the race was off.

Happy came in, the briefcase containing Dad's suit inside. Pepper turned to him and started to walk out.

"No no, wait! Lemme go with you!" I called out.

"No young lady, you are gonna stay here while I deal with your dad. " With those being her final words, she went out.

Without any energy left to fight, I just sat down on one of the nearby chairs, knowing exactly why Dad was doing this.

He was dying. And according to him there was no option other than suicidal tendencies left.

I watched worried as they cars raced by. Suddenly, the camera zoomed in to a guy wearing an orange jumpsuit. He pulled off his helmet as he stood in the way of zooming cars. He ripped his top off, and inside there was an arc reactor , eerily similar to the one Dad built for his own heart.

He held cables which were sparking electricity, as his shirt burner off from the back. Whipping the cables again and again, he striked them onto the coming car, watching as it toppled off. I put my hand on my mouth, slightly scared as to what the motive of this man was.

Smoke was everywhere, and I saw my dad's car coming in. There was no one else in sight except the man and the car. The man whipped his cables, and striked the car, cutting through it easily as if cutting through paper. The car flipped inside, as the man whirled around to face dad.

Ofcourse everyone wants to kill dad! Now what did he do?!

I saw Dad, his car flipped around, as he took off his helmet, and looked at the man upside down. He was just standing there, watching him. The other cars were coming in, and sharply turned around, making many of the cars to crash into each other and create a big explosion.

The camera zoomed in to the fire as I started praying for dad, just hoping that Pepper reached to Dad faster and could give him the suit.

The man whipped the cable where dad was earlier, watching as the whole upper part broke down. Seeing Dad nowhere, he turned around and came face to face with a metal piece, thrown by my Dad.

In retaliation, the man whipped his cable towards dad, making him lose the metal piece and fall down, scrambling behind something - anything - to take cover. He dodged the attacks coming from the man, a one coming very near ti his crotch. As he stood up to make a run for it, the man hit him again, making him bang his head into a nearby car. He was still for a moment.

"Dad!" I shouted out, not caring about the spectators beside me as of now.

He was still for another moment , as the man whipped his cables recklessly around, coming closer to Dad every second. Suddenly he whipped his cable to Dad, as he turned away.

The cable hit the car and there was a big explosion and a lot of fire separating the two. Suddenly Dad jumped up to a cable as a car rammed into the man.

"Yes Happy! That is what we call an epic slam!" I cheered out, although still extremely worried for dad.

The impact from the car had done little damage, but dad still went over the Pepper.

"You okay?" Happy yelled out.

"Yeah, were you aiming for me or for him? Because I can't tell!" He calmly asked Happy.

"Are you out of your mind?!?" Pepper yelled out.

"There was security!"

"Get in the car now!"

"I WAS ATTACKED!"

"We need better security. God! It's embarrassing. " He said as he turned towards the other side of the car. But before he could enter, the door was split in two as the man strikes him. Happy yelled out as he took the car in reverse and rammed the man again.

"Hit him again! Hit him again!" Dad yelled out.

He opened the car door - what was left of it anyways - as he reached for the briefcase.

"Gimme the case, now."

"Take it , take it!"

"Stop banging the car!"

With that banter the man woke up again and again attacked the car. As pepper shrieked out, dad turned towards the other side shouting for the case.

Finally, Pepper slid the briefcase to him as he put his foot on it, initiating the suit formation.

D

ad aimed at the man again and again, and yet again the man attacked him just as Dad powered up his thrusters. He fired the thrusters at him but the man just swatted them away. Suddenly the man caught Dad's arm and neck in his cables, and dragged him on to the other side.

Dad jumped up and grabbed the two cables, but the man again pulled him and threw him on the other side. But , he slowly stood up, took his place in the ground and caught those cables in his hand. He clenched his hand real right and started wounding himself in the cables, while coming closer to the man . He dodged every attack of the man , and finally got close enough to punch twice in the gut. Then he grabbed him and threw him over the other side.

Once the man was put down , Dad pulled out the arc reactor from his chest, as the police grabbed the man. The man spit blood in Dad's face as he said something I couldn't hear. After which Dad crushed the arc reactor in his hand.

I breathed out a sigh of relief as I saw that all was handled. But the area around me wasn't. Till now I hadn't realised that I was in a room full of interviewers, including Christine Everhart, the harlot Dad had associated himself with for one night before the whole Afghanistan thing.

In a second I was surrounded. Questions flew from one side to the other, as a blonde - almost white -haired guy tried to grab attention for himself. The lights were blinding, and I would have had a panic attack if it weren't for Natalie. She quickly grabbed me, and dragged me out, to another vehicle she might have ordered before.

From the panic earlier, or maybe it was the mayhem which occured, it had taken a toll on my body as I finally fell asleep in the car, noticing Natalie in front of me.

"Everything will be all right now , Sofia." Her words were the last I heard before I fell into a deep slumber.
