Chapter 6: You want my Property? You can’t have it!
After that press conference me and Tony have definitely stayed busy.
Since now we are outed as superheroes, we now are more active in our suit we team up and split up to save and rescue many Americans when we are needed.
I also watch over Malibu.
After Tony became surprisingly more famous he decided to start the Stark Expo again so 6 months later the opening night begins.
Me and Tony are about to jump out of a plane.
("Don't hit the fireworks.")
("I won't, I'm a better flyer then that.")
("Ok then see you down there.")
Then we jumped we dodged fireworks as we glided down, until. Ting!
("Not a word.")
("Hahaha.")
After that we successfully went through the opening and landed on the stage.
We made an area on stage to take off our armors, I was fine with it just facing forward but Tony wanted it to spin so unfortunately it spins as our armors come off.
When the suits came off it revealed Tony to be in a very expensive suit and me in a dress.

[During the back and forth the T and R will represent who's talking.]
T "oh, it's good to be back."
R "It's like we never left."
T "you missed us."
"Blow something up!"
T "I already did that."
R "We're not saying that the world is experienced it's longest period of uninterrupted peace in years because of us."
T " i'm not saying from the ashes of captivity the world has never had a greater Phoenix metaphor in personified in human history."
I pointed at Tony and clapped at that.
R "we're not saying that Uncle Sam can kick back on a lawn chair, and relax because no one has been man enough to go against me on even my worse day.." I chuckled. "I meant us." I got some laughs from that.
T "no, no. It's not about me."
R "us."
T "even you."
R "it's about legacy."
T " it's about what we choose to leave behind for future generations." He said while pointing at me.
T " that's why for the next year and the first time since 1974, The Best and brightest men and women of nations in corporations, the world over all the resources,will share their collective Vision, to leave behind a brighter future."
R "so what we're saying."
T "if we're saying anything."
T/R "is welcome back to the Stark Expo."
T " now someone would like to tell you what this is all about from the great beyond. my father."
R "my grandfather, Howard Stark."
We walked off stage and Tony looked at his blood toxicity.
"You stopped taking my potion?"
"Yeah, it was just a band-Aid, if I kept taking it I'd never find a solution."
"And have you?"
"No, but this pushes me. When I was taking your Potion I got complacent.
Lets leave."
We had Happy push a path through the crowd so we could make it to a car.
As we left the building happy pulled out some keys.
"Look what we got."
And it was a brand-new Audi, and a woman was leaning against it.
"Does she come with the car?"
"Dad!"
"What? You can't deny she's hot."
"Still"
"I'm on the wheel."
"I have my license now though."
"Still driving," looked at the girl. "And you are?"
" Marshall."
Happy. "Irish."
"I like it."
"Nice to know you, Tony."
"Where you from?"
"Bedford."
" what are you doing here?"
"Looking for you two."
I looked at her from the passenger seat. "Both of us?"
"Yep."
Tony. "What you up to later?"
"serving subpoenas."
"I'll take this he doesn't like to be handed things."
"Yeah I have a peeve."
" You are here by order to appear Before the Senate armed service committee tomorrow morning at 9 AM."
"Can I see a badge?"
" you wanna see a badge?"
"My dads weird like that."
She pulls one out and shows it to us.
" still like it."
" Yep. Happy how far are we from DC?"
"DC? 250 miles."
"Ok, we'll meet you there."
And he gunned it.
I yelled back. "See you there!"
We made it to the mansion we apparently own in DC in 3 hours do to how fast Tony was driving.
When we woke up, Pepper was waiting on us at the door.
When we got there Tony didn't pay attention at all and made jokes out of there questions.
Tony just made a joke out of one of the questions when he looked back at Pepper who didn't look to happy.
"Mr. Stark can we get back to were we left off?"
Gabble bang!!
" Mr. Stark. Please."
I elbowed him.
("Don't get us arrested.")
("We're fine.")
"Yes dear?"
"Can I have your attention."
" absolutely."
"Do you and your daughter possess a specialized weapon?"
I perked up. "This Stark will answer this question teacher. we do not."
"Do not?"
"I do not. well it depends on how you find the word weapon. You could be a weapon senator."
"Exactly! She gets it."
"You know what weapons I'm talking about."
Tony put a smile on his face. "What weapons?"
"The Iron Man and slipstream armor."
" That's not how I describe it."
" How would you describe it?"
" Jighly advanced prosthesis."
" I like peacekeeping units."
Tony pointed at me. " that works too.
" their weapons."
"If your priority was."
"My priority is to get the Ironman and Slipstream Armor turn over to the people of the United States."
I spoke. "Never going to happen that's slavery."
"No it's not Miss Stark."
"Yes it is, you see Slipstream is me and I'm my suit, so to turn it over is to turn myself over you see the problem?"
"Mr. Stark."
"I'll agree with the kid means the suit are one, I am Iron Man, and I don't think you want to make us prostitutes, I do know what state you're from."
"Look. I'm no expert."
"In prostitution, I hope not, your Senator."
"That will look bad on your record."
I love seeming this guy get mad.
"I'm no expert in weapons. So we brought someone here who is an expert on weapons.
I now like to call Justin Hammer our now primary weapons contractor."
"I object, I don't see a weapons expert, I'm pretty sure my chauffeur is more of an expert then him."
("Ha, beat you.")
("Yeah, but I'll allow it due to it being good.")
"Absolutely. I'm no expert. I defer to your family on this one.
Senator. If I may. I may will not be an expert, but we all know who's. The expert?
Your dad Anthony. Howard Stark. Really a father to us all., and into the military-industry age"
("I see why you hate him.")
("Right!")
"Let's just be clear. He was no flower child. he was a lion.
We all know why we are here. In the last six months, the Stark family has created a sword with untold possibilities. And yet they insists it's a shield. they asked us to trust them as we coward behind it.
But this isn't Canada. I'd love to keep my door open, but there was many threats that the Starks can't and won't see.
Thank you, god bless America."
As he finished his annoying speech I turned around and looked at the door due to me noticing Rhodes outside the door. What's annoying is that I don't remember him being here.
"That is well said Mr. Hammer.
the committee would now like to invite Lieutenant, colonel James Rhodes, to the Chamber."
"Rhodes? What?"
Tony got up to greet him while I stayed seated and looked confused.
I only seen him once when we got rescued but I swear he looks different.
The two sat down an Senator Sternstarted back.
"I have here before me a complete report on the Iron Man and slipstream weapons compiled by Colonel Rhodes. And, colonel, for the record, can you please read page 57 paragraph 4?"
"Your requesting I read certain sections from my report, senator?"
"Yes, sir."
"It was my idea that I was going to be testifying in a much more comprehensive and detailed manner."
"I understand a lot of things have changed today."
"You do understand."
I got tired of the back and forth. "Rodey please just read it. We'll understand that reading."
"Miss Stark!"
"I'm helping. As I was saying, we'll understand that you're words will just help make his agenda sound better but isn't actually what you meant.
See helping, I explained it for you."
"Very well. As they do not operate within any definable branch of government, Iron man and Slipstream presents a potential threat to the security of both the nation and her interests.
I did, however go on to summarize,"
"Stop."
"that the benefits of both Iron Man,"
"Stop!"
" and Slipstream outweigh the liberties."
"Stop!."
"And that it would be in our interest.."
"That's enough."
"to fold the Starks into the existing chain of command senator."
I extended my hand out to the senator to show I was correct.
"I'm not a joiner but I'll consider secretary of defense, if you ask nice.
We can amend the hours a little bit."
Senetor. " I'd like to go on and show, if I may the imagery connected to your report."
"I believe it is somewhat premature to reveal these images to the public at this time."
" Colonel, I understand, but could you please just narrate those for us we'd be very grateful."
On the two screen on either side light up."
" Intelligence suggest that the devices seen in these photos."
("I'm ready to leave. You?")
("100%, ready when you are.")
("I'll have Ceil get you the screen.")
I stood up. "Sorry to cut you off, I bet it'd be a great speech but I think it's time to show you an up close look at you "these suits.""
I looked at Tony, then pointed to the screens.
"If you look here at these screens, is this North Korea?"
"I believe so."
A big robot took a step then fell while shooting a mini gun.
"Can you turn that off. Turn it off!"
Tony tapped his phone. "Iran. No grave threat, immediately right there."
"Maybe to the people holding the camera.
Oh, it's Justin Hammer. Hey! Stop messing with the tv and look, you're on."
On tv.
"Left foot up. Lefts good. Turn to the right."
Man screams due to him now looking at his rear.
Justin. "Oh shit, oh shit."
Justin finds the plug and finally turns the tvs off.
"That looks like it hurt."
Tony smiles. "Wow. Just wow Justin.
Yeah, I'd say most countries 5, 10 years away. Hammer industries 20."
Justin quickly grabs a microphone. " I like to point out that that test pilot survived."
" I think we're done is the point they're trying to make."
Tony rested his head on his chin. " The point is you're welcome, I guess."
"For what?"
I went behind Tony and pulled his chair out.
"I'm not trying to call you stupid but come on. It's because we're your nuclear deterrent. And it's working."
Tony stood up. "Exactly. You want my property you can't have it.
But my family did you a big favor.
We both put our hands up.
"We've privatized world peace.
"What more do you want? For now!
I've tried to play ball with these ass clown's!"
I laughed as the Senator cursed at us.
I pointed at a camera to look at me.
"Come on Senator. Prostitution first now cursing at us in public!" I shook my head. "Not looking good for you!" I blew him a kiss. "Have a nice day!"
I shook hands of the people as I caught up.
As we got into the car.
"And you were worried about me being the cause we'd go to jail."
"Just drive."
"Sure."
"What? You started it, I just got in the groove."
He laughed as we left.
