Iron lies (The Avengers)

Prologue

Do you understand why our dreams are the first cause of our pain?

Do you understand why you should fight and be thankful that you have a dream?

I've fought for so long, I've worked so hard to reach this point and seeing everything I've reached so far collapsing in front of my eyes and not being capable of doing anything is just like tearing your heart out of your ribs.

"Is everything okay?" I heard Jennifer's voice.

"Yes, I'm going for a walk.. see you later." I said.

So that was the reason why I am doing this right now: Chasing my dream. What do they say? 'Aims justify means.'

That night I couldn't sleep, everything seemed so vulnerable around me. And death seemed closer to me than ever. At that time, I could just say alright I give up, I'm leaving MIT and going to a normal college then get a normal job and die at my husband's house at the age of 80. But deep inside, I knew that that person wasn't me. I am the girl that seeks perfection in everything, even in the details of details and a normal college was never enough for my arrogance. I'd prefer to die than live normally. Since I was a child, I believed that I'll never be like my mother who married at a very young age to find herself trapped between a careless husband and two needy children. She never finished her education nor got the job she wanted. My family lives in my natal country, a small island in the pacific called Honigtal. At times like these I miss them a lot. I miss my mother's cheese bread, my father's encouraging words and especially my brother's warm hugs... If they only know what I got myself into...

My head kept torturing me until my phone rang. It was a text from an unknown number. 'If you want to stay at this college, meet me behind the dormitories now.'

That text message changed my life for good. I've never imagined myself trying to escape a disaster and falling into a bigger one.

That's what happened anyway. I was too desperate to think, what if it was a kidnapper or a psychopath. My face would be on the first pages as a student found dead behind the dorms.

When I arrived, a woman was already standing there.

"So, you're stupid enough to come" She affirmed.

"How do you know about my problem?" I asked ignoring her sarcastic tone.

"Because I am the one who caused it darling." She affirmed and before I could open my mouth to talk she continued "And I am the only one who can help you to stay here."

"What's your problem?" I asked "Do you have something with me?"

"Um, nope, not with you. But with the man you'll help me to destroy" She said.

"You want me to help you destroy a man, whom I don't know? Because you say that you can help me? Oh no, you can just clean up the mess you've made to my life and find another bitch to help you ruin people's lives." I threatened.

The woman who seemed to be blond smiled sarcastically "Do you see this?" She handed me a paper "You can sign it and your position in this college will be intact, I'll pay every penny you'll need in your whole studying years. Or you can say no and start packing to go back to your pacific island, you can find a job as a school teacher there. All I am asking you to do is getting closer to that man and tell me everything he does." She affirmed.

"Alright, I'll sign but, nothing of this will happen before you pay all my debt." I told her.

The next day, Mr. Walker came to me and congratulated me. This woman wasn't a liar after all.

At noon, I met with her.

"I paid for everything" She affirmed. "you have a whole scholarship from IUN industries for 10 years from now."

"Alright, let's start and get finished so I can get back to my studies" I affirmed "What's your plan?"

"Do you know Tony Stark?" She asked.

"Do you know pizza?" I asked back.

"That's our target." She affirmed.

I froze in shock "You really want to die.. that's why you dragged me into this right? I'm out."

"You're in darling, you signed." She affirmed.

"Take back your money I don't need it" I said. "Do you even think? He's Iron man."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, In case of retreat, your family will have to pay the double." She said.

"Has anybody ever told you that you're a whore?" I affirmed.

"Oh yes I am, let's start with the plan baby girl." She said

Alright, let's not talk for too long, The plan is: I need to show up in front of Tony Stark and say I am his daughter. He could run a DNA test. And that's why she chose me, I am a perfect match. Who is my mother? 

---------

Two weeks later:

"Mr. Stark." I affirmed as the man entered the office.  He was tall, and a little handsome for someone his age. 

"Miss Turgard." He affirmed. "The DNA is positive. But I did my research, you already have a family at Honigtal." 

"Yes I do Mr. Stark, and I love my other family very much, but you know, I've always wanted to meet my real father, you. I'm not asking you for anything Mr. Stark, I just want to get to know you. I don't need money, I have lots of it. I don't need your compassion or help, because I already have what I want, I'm currently studying quantum mechanics at MIT after I graduated high school at 15. everyone was surprised because no one could know from where my genius attitude has come. Now, I know and I am proud to say that I finally found you father." I said. 

"Alright, slow down, what I was asking about is, who is your mother? and why after all this time you show up in my company saying that you're my daughter" He questioned. 

"My mother? Jessica Stones, She's dead but she left a letter .. Um, wait I brought it." I handed him the letter Lady Carla gave me. She thought of every small detail. 

Mr. Stark's eyes widened. "Jess?" He whispered. "You look like her.. I should've seen it." 

I smiled innocently and he hugged me tightly  "My daughter" He whispered "I am sorry, I didn't know" 

What in the actual fuck.. Lady Carla is genius. I don't know this Jessica's story but he seems weak when I say her name. 

"Let's go and talk somewhere else" He said and I nodded. 

ps: the girl in the picture up there is Hella's actress.
