Thread: Tony's New Girl (Me & Novacian)

Tony just sat there blankly staring at the screen, it was almost as if he'd become a husk or a body without a soul. He was caught in deep thought, or what seemed like a trance. His mind was racing as he continued to think about all the events leading up to this very moment. The thought quickly faded as he began to think about his parents and what they would think of him had they seen him grow into the man he was today. Would they see him as a monster? or would they have praised him for taking on the role of guardian? One thing would be certain is that his mother would've been proud of him, but his father. That would have been an entirely different story. His concentration broke once Himni sat next to him, he didn't even hear her speak initially about the sleeping arrangement, but somehow he'd knew she wouldn't want what he stated earlier. I think I can arrange something, just let Jarvis know what you need, he said. Tony grabbed the remote and turned the television off so that he could pay attention to what Himni was saying. She then asked him an odd question about Myrkur. I don't believe I've heard of that, is it a rock band, he said in a joking manner. But before he knew it she leaned on his shoulder for a moment and fell asleep. Her sleep felt like a mere second as she jumped up making a random statement. Tony then placed his hands on her shoulders as he turned toward her. It's alright, no one ever gets used to being a hero. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it, he said with a smirk on his face. He then realized he hands placed his hands on her shoulders and quickly released them. Um, if you don't like sleeping alone I can sleep in the room on the floor, or we can sleep head to toe on the bed. He then got up off the couch and walked over to the bedroom, but before he entered he opened a small closet next to the room. In the closet were a bunch of extra Linen, blankets, and pillows. He proceeded to grab a few blankets with some pillows then continued into the room. His phone began to ring as he placed all the extra pillows and blankets on the mattress. Tony grabbed the phone from his left pocket and answered it. Hello, Tony Stark speaking, he said, trying to sound all business like. Tony it's Rhodes, I think you should know that SHIELD is spying on you. They don't trust the girl, and quite frankly I don't either. Just be careful around her Tony, we don't need another event happening because some girl just appeared out of nowhere, said Rhodes in a blunt and matter of factly tone. Tony turned to look at Himni and in his eyes she seemed quite harmless. Of course, she had a little temper, but with the right approach, she could be reasoned with. Rhodes, I understand your concern, but I think it'll be fine. She is quite the looker and seems to be on board with the idea of being a hero, he replied before immediately hanging up on Rhodes. Tony was a little perturbed that SHIELD would go to all these lengths to keep an eye on the girl. He brought up and app on his phone and pressed a few buttons. In a moment metal shutters can down on all the windows in the penthouse. It was the kind of precaution he'd always take considering Pepper always hung around and when you're Ironman and people know who your public identity is you gain a lot of villains, and now SHIELD couldn't see either of them.
