Chapter 2
"Ms. Allen, we have come in contact with Cisco Ramon. Your uncle. He'll be ere shortly to offer you a deal."
"Why? I mean, I'm excited to see Cisco, but why, or what, is the deal?"
"You'll find out." he hung up.
Damn Fury and his stupid secrets. I walked back into the conference room. Pepper was still being interro- interviewed, but by a different person. "How are you relevant to Stark Industries," the person asked.
"I am the CEO (I know Pepper was just his assistant at first.. I'm speeding things up), and I am also Mr. Stark's significant other… If Miss Allen wouldn't want to take control over the company, it would belong to me but I'm sure you already know that." "That's about it. Thank you for your time."
I walked out with Pepper. I was about to walk in the car with Pepper and Happy, but in the corner of my eye I saw a flash of blue light. 'Cisco' I thought. I turned, seeing him and smiling brightly.
"Crisco! Over here!" I shouted, almost laughing at my nick name for him. He walk/jogged over here, and I ran the rest of the way into his arms. The press were taking pictures, wondering who this man was.
"We have to go to STAR Labs. We need to talk."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. Central City is across the country. In New York. We're in California. I know your a breacher, but I don't know how to control my powers. Tony and Jarvis never let me."
"Haven't I already told you not to underestimate me?"
"Yes, I grew up with you always there. I think I've learned not to question your power. If we have to go to STAR Labs, we should go soon. I heard you have to offer me a deal."
"Yes, I do. We should go to your mansion."
"Kay. Let's go. Follow me," I said as I let go, walking towards the very nice car Happy and Pepper are in. Cisco and I got into the back row. I made eye contact with Pep, and it was obvious she wanted me to strike up a conversation with him. Ugh. Fine. I have to ruin the peaceful silence, but before I could, Cisco starts to talk. "I see you still haven't gotten over the Emo Phase?"
"Nope. How's Gypsy? And Steven?" I asked. Steven is my cousin.
"Not very good. She keeps on throwing up every morning and I think she has a stomach bug. Steven's good, though."
I laughed. He looked at me confused, almost angry. "Are you sure she isn't a few months or weeks pregnant? If she isn't.... Well, I want another cousin, one who I can annoy about boys or girls and I can be over protective with. Actually I don't really want to know about the possibility of her being pregnant because that means… other… things."
"Julia!" Pepper scolded me.
"Hey! Tony does say I have the mind of a 12- year- old. What do you expect?"
"Well, this is normal behavior for you. Anyways, any new people in your life? Meaning boys?"
"Oh, well, I hugged my friend Andrew at school because I was helping him ask out my other friend Sierra when Tony was picking me up and the next day Tony came and… beat the shit out of Drew. Dad would have done the same thing. Anyways Drew is in the hospital now and I feel really guilty and Tony is now gone and and I haven't been to school for at least a week and I'm pretty sure I'm now in charge of Stark Industries and I'm only 17!" I started panicking near the end.
"Woah Jules, calm down. If anyone can handle all of that single- handedly, I'm most definitely sure it's you. Plus you're glowing so calm down." He was right. I was glowing a bright- ish lavender and I started freaking out.
"What do I do? Do you ever glow? How does this happen? Are these my powers? Am I dangerous?"
"Julia Nora Iris Allen, you can handle this. Breath in and out. Calm. Just breath." Pepper said.
And so I did. My breath started steaming up. I was loosing control of my own body, almost like Killer Frost and Caitlin Snow. I felt power surging through my veins. And I hated it. I hated it because I wasn't in control. I hated it because all of a sudden, this was happening. I didn't ask to be the daughter of the two most powerful metahumans alive. I hated it because I felt the need to run. To cower in fear. To hide. I hated it because I didn't know how to control it. I hated it because this is what my mother was trying to get rid of for oh, so long.
"Julia!" She laughed. "Finally. I'm in control. My mother would be so proud. We could have ruled together." she said in a creepy, monotone voice. I tried to make her stop. "Jules! You can fight her!" "No she can't. She doesn't know how to use her powers. If she did, I wouldn't have a single chance. Really, this all Jarvis', Tony's, Mom's, Dad's and your fault. See you around Cisco."
Don't even try to fight me. I've been waiting for this for seventeen years. Now I'm in control. Also, you can call me Natalie instead of her. Natalie thought. Then, she summoned an icicle, that looked so sharp it would easily cut right through our hand. She stabbed Cisco's leg. Sorry, I thought. Then, she summoned snow and that created a diversion and we disappeared.....
