"This is our ticket out of here." Tony says looking at the sheets of paper with Yinsen.

"What is it?" Yinsen asked the billionaire.

"Flatten them out and look." Tony says as Yinsen flattens out the sheets to see a drawing of a metal suit.

"Oh, wow impressive." Yinsen compliments Tony.

.....

Tony and Yinsen are playing a game to pass the time while being in here.

"Good. Good roll. Good roll" Yinsen says.

"You still haven't told me where you're from." Tony says to Yinsen.

"I'm from a small town called Gulmira. It's actually a nice place." Yinsen says.

"Got a family?" Tony asked.

"Yes, and I will see them when I leave here, and you, Stark?" Yinsen asked the billionaire.

"Yeah, I do. I have a daughter, and she probably hates me right about now." Tony says as he misses Mira terribly wondering what she's been up to since he's been gone.

.....
Stark Mansion
.....

Mira was wondering the house at 1am, to work on her boots that she's been making. She grabbed some food, and when she was done with the food, she told JARVIS to make sure that she gets a decent amount of sleep.

Mira got downstairs in the basement, and she punched in the code which she wasn't technically supposed to know, but she knows it.

"Anything from Dad?" She asked as she knew that she would get the same response she's been getting since he basically got held hostage in Afghanistan.

She got the legs done with her own Iron suit, she just needs the chest and the helmet that will cover her face. Her suit will be a black and purple coloring. Those are her two favorite colors, so it works.

"No, Mira. I'd let you know if I even find the smallest detail of your father." JARVIS says to the girl which made her huff a little as she knew that she would get that answer.

Mira filmed herself as she tested out the boots and to see how high she could go without falling as one of her dad's robots was just an arm and it held the fire extinguisher in case something happened. She stared nervously at the camera before clicking the heels of her boots together. Her boots slowly levitated her in the air, then seconds later she crashed into one of her dad's fancy cars. 

"I didn't really like that car anyway. So, it works." She stood up as she got her balance in check before she fell forward and land on her face. She doesn't want to go to the hospital because she fell on her face. That isn't on her agenda.

Later, Mira had finished the first half of her suit, and when she was done building the rest of it. "J, make a hologram of the suit." Moments later there was a hologram of the suit that Mira got done building.

Then the doors opened, and Pepper came in and turned down the AC/DC blaring through the numerous speaks throughout the room. "How is the suit going? Last I checked you were working on the boots, and or starting to." Pepper asked the girl as she saw that Mira was looking at a hologram of her suit.

"Just got done finishing the chest of the suit. Also, whatever you do, do not look at the car that I fell on to." Mira says. "Also, I named the arm robot thing, Casper. So, I can blame everything on it. If Dad asked Casper fell on the car."

"Works for me. I never liked that car, I kept begging him to get rid of it, and I think because Casper fell on it, that he will finally get rid of it." Pepper joked as the two laughed at the joke.

Just wait until Tony sees what happened to the car.

"I came down here to tell you that Tony is on his way back home. He has to go to a conference. If you want to come with." Pepper says to the girl as she thought about it before nodding her head.

"I want to harass that man for leaving me here by myself." Mira says. "Do I have time to change into something that doesn't look like I've been in a garage."

"Yeah, the conference doesn't start for like twenty minutes, so you're all good." Pepper says as Mira nods her head.

"J, can you close out the hologram, thanks." Mira says as the hologram disappeared.

.....
in the car
.....

When Tony arrived at the press conference he was immediately surrounded by a crowd of clapping people. All he wants to do is get this over with so he can take a nap and be with Mira.

Maybe he can take her to Disneyland.

Obidiah walks towards Tony and hugs the billionaire while asking. "Why aren't you in the hospital?" Obidiah says as Tony ignores him as he took his paper bag that had his burgers in it from a fast-food restaurant. 

"You had to get a burger." Obidiah mutters as Tony merely shrugs as he took a bite. "Did you get me one of those?" He asked as Tony shook his head.

"Nope." He says to him as he walked into the building, and everyone started cheering which was giving him a migraine already.

Tony made his way up to the stage and surprised everyone when he sat down on the edge of the stage. "Hey, would it be alright if everyone sat down, please? That way you can see me and I can see you, a little less formal." Tony says as everyone began to question this man's sanity.

Everyone gave each other weird looks but they took a seat anyway. Tony grabbed his burger and took a bite out of it before he began speaking.

"I never got to say goodbye to Dad. I never got to say goodbye to my father. There're questions that I would have asked him. I would have asked him how he felt about what this company did. If he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch the man we all remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability." Tony explains.

"Mr. Stark!" A man from the audience yelled which got Tony's attention.

"Hey, Ben." Tony replies as he took another bite from his burger.

"What happened over there?" Ben asked as Tony stiffened a bit from the question that was asked. He didn't want to answer it, but he knew that he had to either way.

"I had my eyes opened." Tony stands up and moves behind the podium. "I came to realize that I have more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark International." Tony says as after he says that everyone stands up in commotion. "Until such a time as I can decide what the future of the company will be."

He says as just as he was about to get out of the building, he saw Pepper approaching him along with his sassy daughter. His daughter had her arms folded across her chest. "Hi."

"I don't like you, but at least you're in one piece." Mira says as she walked towards him. "You're in one piece, right?"

"I'm in one piece don't worry."

"Mira if he wasn't in one piece, we have a problem." Pepper commented as he wasn't wrong. They would have some serious issues if Tony was in pieces.

"Can I go to Disneyland?" Mira asked randomly which made Tony release himself from the hug that he gave Mira.

"Disney, seriously?"

"In my defense mister, I never been there." Mira says as he sighed as Mira gave him a blank look.

"Fine." He says knowing that he wouldn't get out of it.

.....
at the mansion
.....

Mira practically dragged Tony to the basement to show him her contraption that she had built since he got held hostage. "So, what have you been working on?"

"Why do you think we're down here, duh?" Mira sarcastically said to Tony which just made him shake his head.

Tony walked around a bit as Mira was getting her iron suit, as Tony looked at the corner of his eye and noticed something, his eyes widened when he saw the car that Mira had crashed into when she was testing out her suit. "What the hell happened to the car?" Tony asked his daughter which made Mira freeze momentarily. 

"Uhm, it wasn't me......it was Casper." Mira says blaming the arm robot that she so graciously named Casper.

"Who the hell is Casper?" Tony asked as he turned to face his daughter as she immediately pointed to the arm robot. "You named him Casper? Of all things, why?"

"It's cute." Mira says to her dad.

"How big are your hands?" Tony asked which made her look at her father like he was crazy.

"What?" She questioned making sure that she heard it right.

"How big are your hands?" Tony asked again to his daughter.

"I don't understand, why..." She says, walking closer to her father.

"I need you." Tony says as he took off his shirt as he sat in a chair. "Hey, let's see them. Show me your hands. Let's see them." Tony says as Mira holds up her hands as she got closer as she is still questioning her father. "Oh, wow. They are small. Very petite, indeed. I just uh...need your help for a sec." He says.

"Oh, my god, is that the thing that's keeping you alive?" Mira asked frantically.

"It was. It is now an antique. That is what will be keeping me alive for the foreseeable future. I'm swapping it up for an upgraded unit, and I just ran into a little speed bump." He says which didn't help her at all.

What's that supposed to mean?

"Speed bump? What does that mean?" She asked.

"It's nothing, just a little snag. There's an exposed wire under this device. It's contacting the socket wall and causing a little bit of a short, it's fine." Tony says pulling out the old device and handing it to Mira.

"What do you want me to do with it?" She asked her father with confusion.

"Put that on the table over there. That is irrelevant." He tells her as she slowly nods her head. "I want you to reach in, and you're going to gently lift the wire out."

"Is it safe?" Mira asked, nervously.

"Yeah, it should be fine. It's like the game operation. You just don't let it touch the socket wall or it goes 'beep'." Tony tells her as she gave him a look and he gently put his hand on her cheek and gave her a weak smile. 

Mira didn't want to hurt her father, and she felt like she was doing that, and she felt that all she was doing was messing this up.

"Okay." She said to him. "Is this a bad time to say I'm terrible at operation?" Mira asked.

"Just don't kill me." He says to her.

"That doesn't help at the moment." Mira says to him.

"You're the most capable, qualified, trustworthy person I know. You're going to do great." He says to her which still doesn't help with the situation at hand.

Mira slid her hand into the hole in her dad's chest. "Oh, there's puss!" Mira exclaims, as she wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"It's not puss. It's an inorganic plasmic discharge from the device not from my body." Tony tells her as now Mira wants to get sick.

"It smells!" Mira says scrunching her nose.

"Yes, it does. The copper wire. The copper wire, you got it?" He says and then the door opened, and Mira turned over her shoulder and sees Pepper in her PJ's

"Okay, you got it? Now don't let it touch...." Tony says before Mira accidentally touched the side. "The sides when you're coming out!" Tony says to his daughter.

"Sorry, this is why I said I suck at operation."

"That's what I was trying to tell you before. Okay, now make sure that when you pull it out, that you don't...." Mira pulls out the wire with the magnet attached and the medical equipment starts beeping. "There's a magnet at the end of it! That was it. You just pulled it out."

"Oh, God!" Mira says to her father.

"Okay, I was not expecting...." Tony says before once again Mira interrupts him mid-sentence.

"Don't put it back in! Don't put it back in!" Tony says to his daughter.

"What's wrong?" Mira asked him as she was freaking out.

"Nothing. I'm just going into cardiac arrest." Tony says as Mira's eyes widened.

"What?! You said it was safe?" Mira exclaims to her father.

"Cause you yanked it out like a trout....we gotta hurry. Take this. Take this. You gotta switch it out really quick."

"Okay. Okay." Mira says.

"Okay, you're going to switch that to the base plate. Make s-sure you..." Tony says before he screams when it attaches. "Was that so hard? That was fun, right?" Tony says.

That was definitely not fun at all.

"Are you okay?" Mira asked as Tony let out a little laugh.

"Don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ask her to do anything like that ever again. She's just a child." Pepper says frantically to her boss.

"I don't have anyone but you two. Anyway..." Tony says as he rips off the wire as he stands up.

"What do you want me to do with this?" Mira asked holding her father's old arc reactor in her hands. She will lowkey admit it's cool, as then again, she never seen one before.

"That? Destroy it? Incinerate it." Tony says to her as she had a frown on her face.

"You don't want to keep it?" Mira asked her as he gave her a look.

"Mira I've been called many things, but 'nostalgic' is not one of them." Tony tells her.
