Third person's pov

"Dummy, can you clean up this mess?" The voice of Tony stark could be heard.

"Incoming call from a blocked number sir." The voice of the AI of the house JARVIS cut him off.

Tony swiveled around in his chair,eyes furrowed in concentration.

"My phone privilege is reinstated. Lovely. " He sarcastically said to himself, relieved that he could talk to his daughter now.

Thinking it was his daughter, he picked the call up. "Hey Sofie, what you doing?" He called out.

"Hey Tony. How you doing?" The laughter of Ivan Vanko drawled out, instantly making Tony tensed up with tension.

"Double cycle." He continued, which drawed Tony's attention for a second, as he started tracking the call silently. His panic was rising minutely as he got worried about his daughter.

"What?" Tony said, not paying much attention to Ivan, more focused on the tracking.

"You told me double cycle was more power, good advice."

"You sound pretty sparkly for a dead guy." Tony countered, coming closer to the location.

"You too. " Ivan laughed, as Tony pushed the mute button.

"Now, the true history of the Starks will be written. What your father did to my family over forty years, I will do to you in forty minutes. I hope your ready. Your daughter is, as we speak. "

Tony's eyes widened, "Wait what did you say about my daughter?" At which point Ivan cut the call.

Tony banged the table in frustration. How does my daughter always gets pulled into this mess!?

But now Tony had a plan. He got the location he needed, and he was off to the Expo before anyone could say 'endgame'.

Sofia's pov.

I woke up to vigorous shaking. With a groan I sat up, hitting the person roughly. As I sat up I saw two people in front of me .

"Happy? Natasha? Wh-whats going on? Wh-wheres Vanko?!" I said, trying to fight Happy as he pulled me in his arms.

"Hey hey hey, calm down. You're okay now. What happened to you? I thought you were in Malibu with your dad?" Happy asked.

"Long story, my uncle happened. Will tell you later. Is dad okay?" I asked, directing the last question to Natasha.

"Yes he's fine, for now. " She said , whilst working on the computer still.

"What are we doing? Can I help?" I said, slowly getting up.

"You can help by overriding the controls Vanko has over all the drones that Justin Hammer made." She said, nodding once in the direction of one of the computers as she did the same on the other.

"What are you doing?" I said, as I started the override.

"Saving your father's life. I'm rebooting Rhodey's suit ." She muttered, slightly annoyed by my chatting. I got it, as I continued to work silently.

As soon as she got access to Rhodey's suit, so did I with all the others. I whooped loudly as I swiveled in the chair I was sitting.

"You got your best friend back." Natasha said to dad, as she smirked a bit.

"Thank you very much agent Romanoff." He said, as he glanced back up at her.

"Well done with the new chest piece. "

She said.

"I know right dad? I'm reading significantly higher op and your vitals look real promising!" I cheered . Really happy that he figured it out.

What's the point of being a genius if you can't even save your own life? Right?

"Yes sweetheart. For the moment I'm not dying. Thank you." He replied back as I finally saw his face, and so did he.

"What do you mean not dying?" The voice of Pepper Potts rang out from the third monitor.

"Oh shit." I said, already anticipating the fight.

"Is that you? No , I'm not. Not anymore." Dad said, even I could detect a bit of panic in his voice.

"What's going on?" Pepper said, still confused.

"I was gonna tell you, but – "

"– you were gonna tell me you were dying?"

"– you didn't let me."

"I was gonna make you an omelete and tell you!" Dad said , making the situation even worse as I slapped my hand over my forehead in second hand embarrassment.

"Hey hey, you can do it later Dad and Pepper. Save this for the honeymoon. Right now you got incoming." I interrupted their little squabble.

"Looks like the fights coming to you. " Natasha said, I even forgot she was here for a minute.

"You and me are gonna have a talk when we go home, okay sweetheart?" Dad said, looking at me.

"Yup. Now go save the day Iron man." I said, relaxing back in my chair.

"Great. Thanks for the vote of confidence honey. Pepper?"

"Are you okay now?" The defeated voice of pepper came from the monitor.

"I'm fine. Don't be mad. I will formally apologize when I'm not fending off a Hammeroid attack ."

"Fine."

"We could be in Venice."

"Oh please. "

As soon as that fight got over, I switched off my monitor and got up.

"Where you going ? Stay here I can protect you. " Happy protested. Natasha said nothing.

"With all love from my heart Happy, you took down one guy while Nat here took down like ten more. So, I think I can take my chances out there. " I smiled apologetically, scratching the back of my neck.

With a questioning look in his eyes i explained , " I saw the footage just now. " With a grudging nod he let me go out.

As soon as I got out I searched for Pepper. I found her soon , still at the expo, standing beside Justin Hammer . Anger flared inside me as I saw the man.

"You!" I said, stomping up to guy and punching hin right in the nose, not giving him enough time to see who it was.

"Ow! What did I do now?! Oh it's you. " He said, rubbing his nose – which was running blood now – carefully.

"You kidnapped me ! You evil loathsome cockroach!" I shrieked out.

"Wait, what?! I thought you were in Malibu?" Pepper said, as she joined the conversation.

I crossed my arms over ny chest as I glared at my uncle.

"I was , until he came to my house and freaking kidnapped me! And then took me to Vanko, hoping I could help him with dad's suits. " I said, still giving him a glare.

He just rolled his eyes as he co times talking to the men around him . My anger yet again flared, and as I surged forward, Pepper put a small hand on my shoulder , stopping me. She missed behind me as I saw the police behind me. I smirked as I saw what was going to happen.

"That's your guy here." Pepper said coldly. Still glaring at the man who kidnapper her almost-daughter.

"Excuse me? Are you kidding me?" Justin said as his hands were put behind his back and the handcuffs were put in place.

"Have a nice time in jail Uncle!" I called out cheekily, all anger vanishing as I saw what happened to the man who kidnapped me.

Soon , I was heading out with Pepper in tow. She was speaking some orders to the police men beside her as I fiddled with her phone.

As the men cleared out she turned to me.

"Are you okay Honey? What are these scratches on your arms?!" She said, as she pulled off the sleeves of my arms which I just noticed , were stark red in contrast with the white (now dirty) top. Both my arms were full of scratches, and they were made with clear precision, as they were still oozing out blood.

He wanted to kill me by bleeding me out.

But thankfully Natasha and Happy cane at the best time possible as I didn't loose much blood.

"What the hell? Even I didn't see that?! Vanko must have done them when I was out cold. " I muttered.

"We need to get these checked, right away. " She said, as I nodded along.

You never question Pepper when she's in mama bear mode.

She took me to one of the stranded police officers and from there I went to the nearby hospital by myself as she had to remain there until the park was clear.

In an hour I got my arms cleaned up, some cuts sewn in, and with a fruit juice in my hand, I was ready to go.

Coming out I saw Uncle Rhodey, still in that awful suit. I smiled a bit, glad to see him as I tried hugging him with my bandaged arms and him in the metal suit.

"Let's postpone that hug till we reach home, alright Sof?" He said, as I nodded several times, clasping my hands behind his neck as he flew me home.
