Dad and Princess Time.
Once and awhile Anya needed some Dad and Princess time. When she was growing up there was a lot of time with Dad, but as she got older the time with him diminished and now it was almost nonexistent. Dad had a company to run along with a wife and a newborn son to deal with. She had school, a team and a boyfriend and they both had more family members to deal with. Before it was just the two of them for the majority of the time and it was them against the world. Now the team had gotten bigger and it meant less time with just the two of them.

Friday afternoon saw her stopping by the company to ambush him in his office. He had left for work by the time she got home from the Avengers mansion and Steve. Mom had said that he went in to sign paperwork Pepper had been nagging him about. Though Anya suspected it has something to do with Nick being fussy.

She knocked on the door and stuck her head in.

	Tony looks up from the paperwork (it does exist...even if Pepper had been nagging him to sign it on Monday instead of right now) to greet his visitor. "Hey, do I know you? You remind me of my little girl, but I'm not sure. You could be an LMD or something. Tell me something that only my Anya would know." Tony grins, getting up from his chair. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"You like pickles on peanut butter sandwiches and you think Boston is the worst city on any planet in the universe." She smiled. "Hi Daddy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's my baby girl." Tony says, wrapping his arms around Anya in short order. He hugs her, probably longer than she's used to, as being with Eddie has reminded him how much older he's gotten.

Once upon a time, a newborn was a challenge that Tony could have worked through with sheer force of will. Now, it took sheer will, at least eight hours of sleep and two cups of coffee to keep up with his son.

And then there was slightly-grumpy-from-getting-up-all-night wife to deal with, too. Mood affects Team-Ups...and Tony did love his Team-Ups.

"How are things in The City That Stole My Daughter?" Tony asks.

Anya returned the hug because Dad Hugs were the best. No matter how old she got, she would always love Dad Hugs.

"Things are good. Quiet. Which means we're due for some trouble soon."

She looked around the office. The man would never change the decor. It was almost the same as she remembered it from her childhood. She had spent many hours in here after school while he worked and Mom was out of town.

"I was wondering if you wanted to grab some lunch or something." Anya couldn't just come out and say she needed time with Dad.

	"Well, I really have to finish signing these papers or I think Pepper will make good on her threat and finally kill me. Sadly, I think your mother will understand and help her hide the body. But...what if we order in? I have something I need to tell you, anyway, Anya. I want you to be the first to know." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Knowing Mom? Yeah, she would understand and help Pepper. Ordering in is fine, but what disturbs me is this thing you need to tell me. You know I don't like surprises and neither does Mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, it's not a surprise to your mother, because I told her already. I told her during the Charity Ball last month." Tony says, taking a deep breath.

"Your life, and Eddie's birth, have made me rethink a lot of things, Anya. There were a lot of times I wasn't there for you because I was out punching some bad guy in the face. You turned out pretty good, despite all of my best attempts otherwise." Tony jokes, smiling at his daughter.

"But now, I see that you, Misha and Justin are carrying on where Rhodey and I left off. Rhodhey hasn't suited up in years and I think he has about four or five less gray hairs for it. Those really count if you know Rhodey like I do." Tony says.

"What I'm saying, Anya, is that while the rodeo should still go on...it's time for this cowboy to hang up his hat and settle down.

Iron Man is done, Anya. Or, /my/ time as Iron Man is done." Tony says.

"Now, do you want Chinese or Italin food?"

Of all of the things he could have told her, this was the least surprising. Though a small part of her did feel a little disappointed that it wasn't one of Dad's out of the blue earth shattering announcements. There had been plenty of them throughout the years.

"Of all the things you have ever announced, this is the least surprising." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "It's about time and I'm glad you are fully retiring. You need to start taking it easy because you're not getting any younger and Mom and Nick need you around."

"And for the record, Dad, I was always proud that you were out there kicking butt. My Dad was Iron Man. I couldn't ask for more." A pause. "Okay, well maybe Captain America," she teased.

	Steve smiled a bit. "Good to be back, Sir," he said as he shook Tony's hand. He nods, rolling up his sleeve and pulling off the glove he'd been wearing, exposing some of the metal of his arm. "A little, around where the metal meets my chest. Just kind of a constant dull ache." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty rushed," Steve confesses. "I told Anya about how they butchered me... but I didn't talk about how they didn't cauterize the wound or anything. By the time my people got me out, I'd lost a lot of blood." "No problem," he says. "You're not the first person to poke and prod." He pulled off his shirt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve looks away. "No," he said, quietly. "They've seen the arm, but that's it. After getting shot, and then dropping off the face of the Earth for--what was it here? Four months?--I didn't want to give them anything else to worry about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve made his way down to the labs, eventually finding Anya. He was feeling pretty good about himself, all things considered. He'd made it out of that conversation alive and more. "Hey, Gorgeous," he said. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Anya jumped off of her stool and threw her arms around him. "There's my handsome man." She gave him a deep kiss. "How'd it go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve smiled after they broke away. "Ah, pretty good, actually. He thinks he can set me up with something better." He wondered if he should mention the whole other part of the conversation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's wonderful to hear," she said and smiled. "I'm really glad there's a chance he can help you." Getting Steve back to close as normal was important. For him and for them. "Daddy didn't give you any grief did he?" Anya knew how her father could be. He had a gift when it came to giving people grief or pissing people off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve frowned for a moment. He wasn't much of the whining type, but on the other hand, he'd probably get reamed for not bringing it up either. "He tried to," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later anyastark 2011-01-10 03:50 am UTC (link)
	"Oh no," she said. She could just imagine what her father said to Steve. "I'm sorry you had to go through that. Daddy can be a little overprotective at times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"'s not that bad," Steve said. "We kinda... had some words, things were aired. And then he didn't trigger the kill sat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
