Katelyns POV

"Your dad is here to pick you up." Mr. Derrin told me. His voice was crisp and I knew he was being serious but I laughed anyway. This had to be the funniest joke in the whole world.

"You're funny sir. My father doesnt want me. He wouldnt be here." I said as I adjusted my dark purple beanie that rested on my black hair. My skin was tan because of my father but I got my mother's sea green eyes. From what I remember, she was beautiful.

"I'm serious Katelyn, this is no laughing matter." He told me, he stood up and walked over to the meeting room doorman the broken down door looked farther away from me than it truly was. Slowly, his large hand opened the door and the creaking seemed to echo in my ears. There stood Tony Stark, the one and only father of mine. Playboy, asshole, billionaire. He was every punchline of a sick joke.

"Hello! I'm Tony Stark, Courtney! I'm your dad." He said as he stood up. A smile cracked on his lips. I recognized it from the one he wore on the news when he wanted everyone to like him. He was a joke. My heart beat faster in my chest.

"Its Katelyn. You have my name wrong." I said. My voice quiet, but loud enough to be heard. His eyes flickered to me quickly. I rolled mine at him.

"Of course it is. My bad." He said as he shook hands with Mr. Derrin. "All the papers are signed and ready to go." Tony said as he gave him a massive stack of papers. I looked between the two men and starred at the stack of papers.

"No." I whispered. Tears building up and threatening to fall from my eyes. Quickly Derrin walked over to me and wrapped me in a hug. "Please dont let him take me. He never wanted me before. Please dont make me leave." I begged. Tears now streaming down my face as fear left my voice. I clung to Derrin like he was my life line. He was the only family I had had since I was 4. After my mother died and Tony never in the picture I relied on Derrin. He was my dad, or close enough to one.

"Shush hun. You'll be ok, you can come visit me any time you want. I'm always here and you know that. You're the longest kid I've had here and its about time you go to someone who loves you as much as I do." He said. Tears brimmed his eyes but he blinked them back, pushing them away like they would haunt him for ever.

"Go pack kid, we gotta get going." Tony said as he hesitantly touched my back. I moved away from him. I didnt want him to touch me. I didnt want him near me. Wordlessly i nodded still and did as i was told, for the first time in forever I didnt fight back.

Fifteen minutes later and my bag was packed with the small amount of stuff I had. I gripped it like it was the only thing that was still holding me down to reality.

"Ready to go?" Tony asked me. I shook my head yes when in all honestly I met no. He grabbed my arm and gently pulled me to the door. This was all for show. This was to make him look good and to show the news that he cared for long lost children from a drunken one night stand.

"I love you. Ok?" Derrin said as he hugged me one last time. Tony waited by the door as I hugged him back.

"I love you too." I mumbled into his chest. His cologne smothered me and made me feel calm again. Slowly he pulled away and smiled. I walked over to Tony wordlessly and smiled at Derrin.

"Let's go, the others are excited to meet you." Tony said as he pulled me outside. The sun was out and it shined into my eyes. I black limo was parked in front of the small orphanage like house, outside the limo was a large man.

"Sir." The large man said as he opened the door for to both of us.

"That's Happy." Tony said as he pulled out his phone once we were inside the vehicle. I nodded wordlessly. The car ride was silent for the most part, Tony made random small talk conversations with Happy when he thought of something. I kept quiet, only nodding and shrugging the whole time. I had no reason to talk, I had no reason to be here with Tony.

"We are here." Tony stated as we pulled up to the Avengers building. I only nodded with an uncaring expression on my face. We stepped out of the car, I grabbed my bag and walked slowly behind Tony. I watched the way he carried himself, i watched the way his attitude changed when he walked into the building and the way he changed again when he stepped into the elevator. The door dinged when we came to the floor Tony seemed pleased with. Stepping out I took in the view, we were in a common area. Large couches lined a large coffee table, clearly meant to hold multiple people, but on those couches was only three people. Tony walked over to the bar straight away. I rolled my eyes. Clearly somethings never change, the news said how he was an alcoholic.

"Hey. Who are you?" A tall lady with red hair asked as she saw me. I looked over to Tony who was getting another drink before I spoke.

"I'm Katelyn." I said. I watched for her reaction. Nothing changed as she listened to me.

"Well why are you in the tower?" She asked again. Her voice showed signs of agitation and annoyance.

"Honestly I dont know. I woke up this morning and was forced to go with a stranger who could possibly kill me at any moment." I said to the lady, I looked away from her. I was annoyed now.

"Shes my kid. I adopted her." Tony said as he sat down on the coffee table. His drink was in his hand. The tall lady and two other men starred at Tony in shock.

"You mean this is the kid? This is the one you-" A hand was slapped over the mouth of the younger man who was talking. His mumbled sentence was all that could be heard in the quiet room.

"Yes. She is." Tony gritted his teeth while he spoke.

"Well I'm Natasha. Nice to meet you." The red head said, she stuck her hand out to shake but I didnt give her the chance to shake my hand back. Never touch someone you dont trust.

"I'm Steve and that's Clint." The one who slapped the hand other the younger Male spoke up. He seemed older, more wise then the rest. I nodded towards them and played with the hem of my shirt. Tony just took a swig of whatever poison was in his cup.
