Double Agent (Fem Reader X Tony Stark)

Chapter 16 - Missing

I rush over to Tony as the ceiling breaks apart, leaning above him so he doesn't get crushed. "I got you." I smile.

"I got you first. Like I said, we can't stay here." He stands. "Move! I'm right behind you." I turn and start to run, stopping as the floor splits between us. "Get her. I'm gonna find a way around." I don't move, "Stop stopping. Get her. Get outside. Go!"

I nod and grab Maya, trying to rush as we approach the front of the house. I hold up my hand and try to blast the door. "Why the hell isn't this working!" I yell, throwing my hand down. It suddenly blasts, causing us to be thrown through the glass and slam onto the ground. The suit starts to fly off of me as I stand, flying back into the house as it continues to be destroyed. "Oh, my God. Tony!" I scream. I run to the edge as the house completely falls off and into the water, "Tony!" I scream again as I don't see him.

I turn back as the cops and fire department show up, running around me as I start to cry.

As the sun sets, I was interviewed by the cops. I then walk towards the edge again and look down to see one of his armored helmets. I start to cry again as I pick it up and press it against my head. I turn it as it starts to beep,  squinting as I put it on. "Stark secure server. Retinal scan verified."

"Y/N, it's me." I gasp as I hear his voice. "I've got a lot of apologies to make and not a lot of time. So... First off, I'm so sorry
I put you in harm's way. That was selfish and stupid, and it won't happen again. Also, it's Christmastime and the rabbit's too big. Done. Sorry. And I'm sorry in advance because I can't come home yet. I need to find this guy. You gotta stay safe, that's all I know.
I just stole a poncho from a wooden Indian. And I don't really know where to start....but I love you so much Y/N."

I shake my head and take off the helmet as the message ends. I turn to Maya and nod towards my car. I drive off, shaking my head as I turn to look at her for a moment. "Why were you at the house tonight? What was so important that you had to speak to Tony?" I ask.

"I think that my boss is working for the Mandarin. So, if you still want to talk about it I suggest that we get ourselves some place safe."

"Your boss works for the Mandarin, you think?" I ask. "But Tony says you're a botanist. So..."

"That figures. What I actually am is a biological DNA coder running a team of 40 out of a privately funded think tank. But sure, you can call me a botanist."

"This boss of yours, does he have a name?" I ask.

"Yeah, Aldrich Killian." My eyes widen as I look back at the road, "You know him?"

"Not really....I had a meeting with him yesterday. I had a bad feeling about him...I guess I was right."

We drive for a few hours and check into a small hotel. I sit in front of her as she starts to talk. "Fun fact. Before he built rockets for the Nazis, the idealistic Werner Von Braun dreamed of space travel. He stargazed. Do you know what he said when the first V-2 hit London? 'The rocket performed perfectly. It just landed on the wrong planet.'  See, we all begin wide-eyed. Pure science. And then the ego steps in, the obsession. And you look up, you're a long way from shore."

"You can't be too hard on yourself, Maya. I mean, you gave your research to a think tank." I nod.

"Yeah, but Killian built that think tank on military contracts."

"That's exactly what we used to do." I nod. "I have a bad past..I'm sure you've heard about it. So, don't judge yourself." I smile.

"Thank you, Y/N. I really appreciate that."

I look back as there's a knock. I smile to see it's our room service. "Hi, good evening. Come on in."

"Good evening."

Suddenly Killian steps up and breaks the mans neck, "Maya, run!" As I turn he grabs my neck and slams me into the wall.

"Hi, Y/N." He smirks at me. "So, you want to tell me why you
were at Stark's mansion last night?" He asks Maya.

"I'm trying to fix this thing. I didn't know you and the master
were gonna blow the place up."

"I see. So, you were trying to save Stark, when he threatened us?" Killian asks.

"I've told you, Killian, we can use him."

I pull my hand up to punch him but grabs my hand and suddenly starts to burn me. "Y/N....Y/N." He smiles as I struggle.

"Look, if we want to launch product next year, I need Stark. He just lacked a decent incentive. Now, he has one." She points to me.

Suddenly Killian hits me, knocking me out.
