Starks Bug
Tony Stark x Son!reader
Not quite satisfied with this one but I rather concentrate on making the next few better than dwell on this one. I also almost gave myself a heart attack accidentally deleting the chapter. I want to personally thank all the gods that exist for the invention of the reverse option in writing programms.

Chapter 9
The first week home was spent doing whatever you wanted to do. Clinging to your fathers side as much as you could. Literally only giving him privacy when he went to the toilet or to shower. And even then you asked where he was going. You had an urge to know where he was and what he was doing at all time. He also showed you the cool mini arc reactor in his chest. It made for a nice nightlight.
You went "Hiking" when he was in a bit of a better physical form. There you found several cool sticks to fight monsters with and some neat rocks you took home with you and put on your windowsill.
You went to the amusement park and rode a Rollercoaster for the first time in your life, it was NOT as much fun as you had imagined. It was terrifying.
The both of you visited so many places in a spawn of almost two weeks that you felt a bit overwhelmed.
Today was Friday and with that the last day you were excused from school.
"Where are we going?" You asked bouncing around your dad who was currently getting dressed all fancy.
"Lets visit your favorite uncle shall we?" he said and you cheered. You were going to visit Rhodey!
"Can I wear my uniform?" You asked already on your way to the dresser. Rhodey regularly provided you with uniforms for you to play dress up in. Some in the standard military camo style, some the same as his. Your dad agreed and let you change.
You walked into the hanger and spotted Rhodey immediately. He was wearing the same uniform you were.
You ran over only shouting a his name for a short warning and jumped into his arms.
Your dad was better with entrances than you.
"Uncle Rhodey! Look what I'm wearing!" You said as he sat you down.
"Whoa we're twins!" You giggled.
"We can't be twins! You're my uncle." you said as if Rhodey didn't know that already.
You were introduced to the cadets and your dad said something that they found funny. You didn't get it.
While your dad was talking you were looking around at the planes. Walking around and touching the exterior.
Immersed in them you didn't notice that Rhodey had left.
"Uncle Rhodey can I- Where'd he go?" you asked looking around. He wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"I think I made him a bit mad." Tony said truthfully.
"Did you make fun of him? Cause that's not nice." you said as you took his hand and wandered back out towards your car.
"No it's more complicated than that." He said not explaining any further.
"Because of the weapons?" you asked making him stop for a second before continuing.
"Yes, yes it's because of the weapons." you just nodded. You might be young and often times oblivious but you weren't stupid. That's what Tony realized today. He couldn't really shelter you of those topics.
And you never really didn't listen.
While you were dozing off on your own workbench your dad was in full work mode back home. You only stayed awake as far as to grasp the extend of what he was doing. An Armour of some sort which was cool in your opinion. But not cool enough to keep your tired mind awake.
You woke up early the next day in your bed. You made your way into the kitchen and ate the first tasty thing you saw in the fridge. Jarvis told you that your dad was still in the lab.
You finished eating, grabbed some leftovers and made your way down the stairs the door opening automatically for you without the need of a password.
"Good morning dad." you said and put the box of leftovers and a fork down beside him.
"Good morning Bug, thank you." he said putting his tools down and kissing the top of your head.
"Go change. You don't have any shoes on." he said and you left him to his food.
Your father didn't want you to help with the armor so you started your own project. A little robot. Your dad would help you with the hard stuff so you were starting with the easy one which was basically just sketching how you wanted it to look and putting the pre prepared pieces together.
You both worked in relative silence, there was music playing in the background. You disassembled one of your remote controlled cars for its wheels and motor, and worked from then on out.
"Hey, (y/n). Wanna see me fly?" Tony asked holding up his boots.
"I can make you fly without the boosters." you chuckled at the thought but came over to watch anyway.
"I'd rather not be force choked by my personal mini Darth Vader."
You took a seat beside Dum-E and watched intently.
"Alright. We'll start of easy with 10% thrust capacity." he explained got into position and, threw himself right into the ceiling ledge. You couldn't hold in your giggles, especially when he got sprayed with the fire extinguisher. God Dum-E was the BEST.
Your dad glared at you once he had wiped his eyes free.
Quickly you used the force to pick up some of the fire extinguisher stuff and flung it back into his face like a snowball. Then you ran away knowing full well that he was about to do the same to you.
For lunch you dragged your dad upstairs to cook you some food. You didn't like living off leftovers.
He made you spaghetti with tomatosauce. You couldn't decide whether it tasted good or horrible. It was some weird mix inbetween.
Back downstairs your dad was working on a flight stabilizer. You got bored with your robot so keept yourself busy with multiple tasks. Like drawing, singing, dancing, playing with your dolls and action figures, and stuff like that. You didn't want to go upstairs since you'd be all alone up there and that's boring and lonely. You don't like being alone.
Pepper came, hours later when it was already dark outside. And she had a present! It was for your dad but it was still a very exciting moment for you.
"I thought you were done making weapons." She said and he explained that it wasn't a weapon but a flight stabilizer and after he said it was safe flung himself backwards with it, he fell over with a thud. You giggled. Your dad getting slightly hurt was really funny.
You followed your mom Pepper and your dad upstairs and started inhaling the pizza as soon as you saw it.
You stopped listening in on the conversation Obie and Tony were having, it seemed tense, and decided to look at the screen of the laptop Pepper was holding. She was writing emails which seemed to be a very boring task. You tried to read what she was writing but she turned the screen away as soon as you did. You held out a pizza piece for her but she refused. Shrugging you ate it yourself. Your dad went back into the lab. You would've followed but you like to eat some more pizza. And you weren't alone up here now.
"What is he doing down there (y/n)?" Obie asked leaning over you a bit. It made you feel really small so you looked away.
"Dad says it's a secret. I can't tell anyone not even you. But I can tell you what I'M doing there!" you said looking at everything but him. You weren't actually told to keep it secret but you didn't like your uncle-grampas tone. He was being, weird.
"What are you doing down there?"
"I made a drawing. And I play pretend and I'm making a robot from my toy car." you said willing to share your projects.
"Thats nice." he said in a monotone voice and ruffled your hair. It didn't feel like the Obie you know.
