Moday Morning Mayhem (Tag Iron Man)

[Iron Man]

He feels good wearing his hooded sweat suit. The cloth was light able to both keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

It has been forever since Tony has hung out in the lobby. Watching the people come and go and none of them recognizing him. Hearing them talking was fun some were talking good other talking and but nothing really terrible.

All the lovely ladies walking by in there three piece suits caught his attention. Walking over to the window he saw women of almost every ethnic group different heights and weights all them full of confidence and sex appeal.

That’s one thing Tony loves about New York there is no shortage of sexy women. Walking up to the front desk he leans the desk and sees the lay working she leans back from her computer and smiles at him.

“Welcome to Stark Towers! I am Gwen may I help you sir!”

Gwen looked pretty young around her mid-twenties. She had short red hair and golden brown eyes and one very deep dimple. Her smile took his breath away and her attitude didn’t feel fake.

Her eyes go wide as she final notices who is in front of her. Her hands cover her mouth and she blushes a little.

“Oh my god! Mr. Stark I am so sorry please forgive I had no idea it was you!”

Leaning back he gives her a smile.

“Don’t worry Gwen I know most people have really noticed me so please don’t give me away, I had Just phoned and set up a session at Ms. Kim’s and a ride could you please check on the ride for me”

“Yes Mr. Stark and don’t worry I wont tell”

She says with a cute giggle. Walking away from her desk Tony hears the ping from the elevator and Katalyn walks off. Watching her look for him was quite amusing once she did she walked right over to him.

She also was surprised he was sweats. He was happy to be able to so and besides wearing fine suits gets boring at times.

“Well I hope to surprise you more and besides suits can be very uncomfortable at times”

She then asks him what he preferred if she called him Mr. Starks or just Tony. For a long time he was called Mr. Stark and even though he had people respect he had few friends. Since his time with his friends in college it took him a while to find that.

“For you Katalyn you can call me Tony!”

Putting an arm around her shoulder he leans in to her ear.

“You never had to ask I wouldn’t have gotten upset with you if you done so earlier”

Removing his arm he sees the limo drive up he turns and gives Gwen a thumbs up. Walking out he opens the door for Katalyn and gets in on the other side himself.

“This should be fun!”

[Katalyn Downs]

I see amusement in Mr. Stark’s eyes when it took me a few moments to locate him in the lobby since he was in his sweats and not his usual suit or casual dress and among the visitors and workers of Stark Tower’s.

Tony smiles at me says; that he hopes to surprise me more often and says that suits can get uncomfortable at times. I nod to him knowing all too and I totally understand where he comes from, “I totally agree that suits can be very uncomfortable, I prefer to wear dress casual when I can.”

As for his preference of how he would like to be addressed and it takes him a couple of minutes before he speaks saying Tony will be okay and I nod to him as I will call him Tony only when we are working together in his office or lab but in public I rather call him Mr. Stark. “Thank-you only in public I’ll address you Mr. Stark in your office and other places out of public eyes I’ll address you as Tony.” I give him a wink.

Tony then lightly sets his arm around my shoulder and he leans in towards my ear and says he wouldn’t have been upset if I had done this earlier .

With the people moving in and around us I feel a blush blooming I just hope that no one has noticed us like this and it is making me slightly nerves.

He then takes his arm off my shoulder seeing that our ride has arrived he opens the lobby door for me and I step out of Stark Tower’s into the early afternoon sun and there is a light breeze and the breeze feels nice I take in deep breath of the fresh air.

Tony then opens the door to the limo and he then slides into the limo on the other side. I gracefully climb into the back of the limo where he is already seated. This is not the first time I’ve been in a limo but this one is very, very expensive then again Tony can afford it. I set my bag on the seat next to me next to the door.

Looking over to Tony as he smiles brightly and for some reason that smile takes my breath away as he says that this will be fun. I nod to him nicely although I’m blushing again Damnit Katalyn you have to quit blushing like this. “Indeed it will be a nice afternoon out.”

Walking around the corner to Stark Tower’s I lean up against a
street lamp post taking out a small note book with information on Katalyn Downs. It has taken me a better half of a couple of weeks to get information on her it was harder than I originally thought. She had kept herself very elusive with giving out information about herself. Not much information on her but it was more than enough for me and it was worth effort and pain stinking time to get it.

Also it took me well over two years to track her down and the information was scarce though I got it and that’s what mattered in the end. For the past week I’ve been standing here from the time she has started work watching her and getting to know her daily routine at and at home.

When she came to work and leaves for lunch and if she didn’t leave for lunch and when she leaves at the end of a work day, and he also has watched her from time to time where Katalyn lives.

He sees Katalyn leaving Stark Towers today for lunch it’s a little early for her lunch and sees Katalyn in sweats then he sees someone else with her also in sweats could it be a friend she is having lunch with or could it be her boss? It didn’t matter he waited this long and now it was time to take action against her, hurt her at all costs.

That old wound is still fresh in his mind when he was caught smoking the pot, also doing drugs and drinking she betrayed him for turning him for that, then he was expelled from college and it hasn’t healed until he can get his revenge he will be restless.

Seeing Katalyn and her friend leave in a black limo, he quickly flags down a taxi he climbs and tells the driver to follow the black limo then proceeds pay the driver a handsome amount of cash.

The driver nods taking the wad of cash and quickly catches up with the limo and follows not to close but close enough so he wouldn’t lose the vehicle. And follows the limo to where Katalyn and her friends were heading to.

[Iron Man]

They both agree on the fact hey feel the spa should be fun. This was one of the most comfortable limos he has ever been in. This was one of those days he was glad there was no Avenger business to take care of.

In times past it would have been him Happy and Pepper taking this trip. Those were some of the best times he had. Pep would be upset saying this was a waste of time while Happy would be listening every now and then he would add how he felt.

This is something that he and Katalyn had to do because, if they were going to work as closely together as they will be they had to be able to not only trust each other but feel good around each other.

One day they will have to invite a third and maybe even a forth the more the merrier. They offer mineral water along with sports drinks and name brand soda.
The limo arrives at Ms. Kim’s the old fashion style of this building would have been very expensive to pull off in the Meiji period but now it was very easy. The driver gets out and lets them both out. Just before leaving he gives Tony his pager number so he could return as quickly a possible.

Walking into the building the sound of the music hit his ears. The first room was the only one not made to look in the era, It was a small space only big enough to have a desk for the worker. That was about five steps across from the six chairs for the people waiting and a water dispenser.

The lady at the desk looked up at Tony and nodded at Tony letting him know it was okay for them to walk on through to the next room. Once he walked through the door right beside the desk he sees one of the most beautiful sights, and That is the work they put into the place.

The coble stone floor and the stream with the little bridge on the other side was fours doors. The ones on the far left had girls on the outside of them so he crossed over the bridge taking a peak at the fish while doing so and over to the girls.

“I am Sui Len here to take Mr. Stark to Ms. Kim”

Says the one standing by the first door giving a slight bow to Katalyn he follows her through the door. Once he passed through the door he was in a short walk way that lead to a doorway with a beaded door.

He walks down the path behind Sui Len till she stops at the door. Pointing with her left hand she shows him a space made for him to undress and put on his towel witch was hanging off a hook on the wall. After taking off his cloths and wrapping himself in the towel He follows Sui Len into the next room.

There sat the famous massage bed with the whole in it. He lays down face down. After hearing a familiar voice enter the room he knew Sui Len had left.

“Mr. Stark it has been far to long I can see your lumps from over here!”

[Katalyn Downs]

As the driver of the limo drives to the spa, I have this feeling that Tony is doing this for a reason such as him gaining my trust and me gaining his trust if we are going to be working together in the lab and to feel comfortable with each other side by side with each other. I have to ask what the name of the computer is later.
Arriving at the spa and I see it is old world style and I love it! I see it was set in the Meiji era of Japan. The driver gets out and opens the door for us; I step out of the limo with my bag. I see the driver give Tony something then we walk into the building.

I hear soft music and I believe the music is from the Meiji era, though it’s not the real music more or less a reproduction of the music and I instantly fall in love with the music. Closing my eyes for a moment and I let the music sooth me. It is almost like it was before I would start karate classes.

The first room was more or less a waiting room it is small with enough room for a desk for the worker to greet people and there are 6 chairs and a water dispenser.
The lady at the desk looks at Tony and waves to him saying it was fine for us to walk into the next room. I follow him and step into a world that by gone.

And what I saw was the most beautiful and wonderful sight I’ve ever seen in my life. I see a cobble stone floor a little stream and a little bridge in the middle, there are four doors on the other side.

Stepping onto the bridge I stop and peak over the side of the bridge into the stream and see gold fish swimming. I’m totally in awe and I whistle softly, “Mr. Stark I believe I’ve died and went to heaven, thank-you so much for bringing me here I’m totally in love with this place and it is so beautiful.” I said softly smiling.
Then I hear a voice she was saying she was Sui Len and she was here to take Tony to see Ms. Kim and shows Tony where he is to go.

I look over side of the bridge again for a moment into the stream it is very soothing. Another lady comes out to greet me saying.
“I’m Mei Sung I will take you to see Ms. Mizuki Won,” she said softly.

Picking up my bag I follow her as she leads me down the path to another room with a beaded door, she points to the left and there is a small space that has been prepared for me to change and there is a towel hanging from a hook on the wall.
I enter the space I quickly take off my clothes putting them in the bag closing it up, wrapping myself in the towel; I follow Mei into the next room.

I see the massage table it is anything unlike what I’ve seen before. It is made of bamboo stepping up to the massage table not sure if the table will hold me, it is now or never lying face down with my right arm out don’t like lying on it because it usually goes numb.

I hear Mei leave, and then I hear another soft voice enter the room, “I’m Ms. Mizuki Won and I will be giving you your body massage and I can see you need one I see the lumps.” She steps up to the table stops for a moment as she sees my injured right arm.

I sigh to myself; people seem to shy away from me when they see my injured arm. “Ms Won it is okay this is an old injury from a year and a half ago you can’t hurt it anymore than what it is,” I said softly, but reassuring her it was fine.

Ms. Won nods and she sets out to work on knocking out the knots in my right shoulder down to my hand and the move on to the rest of my body.

The taxi driver pulls over a half a block from where Katalyn’s limo stops, seeing them get out and walk into the building. I leave the cab and I walk slowly to where they are.

I’m not far from the building that Katalyn entered looking over the surroundings I see there are several ways to escape and I walk around and map out an escape route incase my plan does not follow through and I will make sure the plan will follow through.

Walking around several building seeing which would be the best escape route, finding the right one didn’t take long.

10 minutes later I walk into the spa building and into the waiting
room, the room is small just the way I like it and there was one person in the room. Taking out a small club and I step up to the desk she was busy doing something and I crack her over the head with the club knocking her out cold for a short time.

Stepping over to the door turning the sign over saying closed and locking the door. Then I walk through the door to the left see that there are several ways out the back way.

Stepping back to the waiting room I take the lady from there to a closet and I change into her clothing stepping out and walking into the main room I stay off in the shadows and wait for the right time to strike.

[Iron Man]

The magic hands of Ms. Kim take Tony away. She was the best indeed all the days stress and tension leave and he is totally relaxed. Every time she get to this point he wonders why it always takes him so long to return.

"Ms. Kim would you think about moving to Stark Towers I'll make it worth your wild"

"Tony we go through this every time I am very happy here! But it does make me happy that you do ask"

Ms. Kim was never going leave this place she had built it from the ground up and was very proud of what she had. Being born and raised in the U.S. wasn't easy on Kim her parents had moved to New York from Japan shortly before she was born in search for the American dream. There life in the beginning was rough but a twist of fate had her father winning the lottery and they were able to start up there own business.

The Original name of the Spa was The Palace but after their child was born it was renamed. The design was her father idea he wanted to show some of their culture with it and when Kim took over she fulfilled his dream.

Ms. Kim was going to be here till she died and passed it along to her daughter or son when the time came. At the moment she was without a child still being a young woman of twenty-eight she still had time they had joked on many occasion about having a child together, She was a good woman and was going to make some one a very good wife.

"That's it Kim me and were getting married and I am not taking no for an answer"

"Tony if you were ever to make a really offer I don't believe the woman would know"

They both laugh she was right his past history with women was one mixed with good times and regrets. Love is never easy for anyone he was also looking for the right person he heard sometimes it happens when your not looking but fate is rarely kind to him.

When the massage is finished She slaps him on the butt and walks out. Standing up Tony felt as good as he has in a very long time. He was going to have to leave her a very nice tip the Spas stream leads to a pond in the back that has be modified.

Walking out the back door he sees the connecting hallway that all the rooms connect to so they can go to the make shift pond hot tube. Their was one door leading to that and another to the far left witch lead to an employees only room.

Katalyn was in for a surprise when she got back there he thought as he walked over and stepped in slowly. Perfect as always Taking and releasing a deep breath Tony is very happy his chest piece can withstand things like this.

Both Men and women use this and very few people have any issues with it. This was most likely one of the few times that a man and woman went in that weren't married. As much as she was blushing earlier the ultimate one was yet to come.

[Katalyn Downs]

Ms. Won continues to work on getting rid of those tight knots; I didn’t realize how tense and stressed I have been the past couple of weeks.

Slowly but surely I can feel the stress melt away, I close my eyes and relax into the body massage. I have to admit that having a body massage is way better than the physical therapy I went through after my injury.

Even my injured arm hasn’t felt this relaxed and good for a long time it feels so much better relaxed it doesn’t feel tense or even stiff.

Ms. Won finished the massage and she actually had to gently shake me to wake me. I open my eyes as I didn’t realized I had dozed off, must have been exhausted as well.
Sitting up and thanking Ms. Won for the wonderful body massage, she bows slightly and leaves the room.

I step out of the room totally relaxed and I haven’t felt this good in a long time have to thank Tony for this, have a feeling I’m going to be a regular here. Have to leave a tip might not be much but I’m sure it will help.

Stepping into the space where my bag was I slip on my shorts, looking in the bag making sure I had everything and moving my pistol to the top of the clothing if any trouble should arise I will have quick access to my weapon.

I wonder around the main room for a moment then find myself wondering towards the back of the building until I step into the back room of the building and it looks like it has been modified into a make shift pond but it really is a hot tub.

I stand just inside the door of the room for a few moments taking in the beautiful surrounds and trying not to have my jaw drop in awe and my mind starts to drift, my hand must have been so relaxed that I didn’t know my bad had slipped out of my hand.

I quickly shake my head and gather my thoughts, picking up my bag and I whistle softly, “If we are in the middle of New York City how in the world did this little piece of heaven get here? Did I really die and go to heaven? I could totally stay here and forget work!”

Stepping into the room and looking around my eyes are full of life. Then I spot Tony he was already in the hot tub and I stop dead in my tracks seeing something in his chest and it was glowing.

I’m kind of terrified at first there must be some explanation about what happened to his chest. It looks like huge scar from a very serious injury and it is in the middle of his chest.

I have to look away it’s not nice to stare at people, but I can’t and it seems I’m drawn back and I can’t help myself form not staring at Tony’s chest.

Then the huge blush is in full bloom, “OMG! Mr. Stark this is so beautiful! May I ask what is wrong with your chest?” I asked slightly shocked.

Though I’m not sure what my next move will be and not sure either, I’ll wait, watch and listen.

NPC: Duane Zandle

I wait for the ladies to enter the employee room or head to the office to do some paper work or whatever else that needed to be done and not give me any problems there will be problems later when he tries to escape.

I quietly move to the back of the building and I see Katalyn is in the middle of the room I can’t move in without Katalyn seeing me or her friend I need to get in without being seen.

I see there is a small alcove just a few feet away from the door stepping into the walls are fairly thin and I can hear what is going on in the room where Katalyn is I quickly make a couple of peep holes and look in. Her bag slips out from her hand to the floor unlike her then again the body massage must have relaxed her to a point, then again she is staring at her friend, and Katalyn quickly responds and picks up her bag.

I hear muffled conversation can’t make out what was said, I stand there and smile I will move in soon and hit hard wait until she has her guard down, though I know she won’t have her guard down wait or hit?

[Iron Man]

He Watches Katalyn as she walks over and get in to the hot tube with him. She seemed to be in seventh heaven. Her reaction to the place would have Ms. Kim very happy.

She hadn’t notices yet so Tony had to resist the urge to smile. But he does notice how hot she looks in her towel. He keeps from starring at her but it wasn’t easy for him.

She asks him about his chest piece which was kind of a surprise but a good question. It’s been a while since he has told someone and Katalyn is a nice girl and a good worker he could tell her.

“That’s a good question, a few years back I was working on some experimental tech when I was almost taken out by a booby trap set by Whong-Chu. In the beginning all it was was a magnet but then it evolved to what it is today so I defiantly know how it feels to have serious surgery”

Rubbing on his chest he is gratefully to have it, without it he couldn’t had all the adventures he’s had not mention his life would have been shorter.

“Yeah Katalyn It reminds to live my life because it is not given that I will have tomorrow!”

Sliding close to Katalyn Tony takes her hand and rubs his chest piece with it. He then releases her hand thinking that after touching it may help ease her towards seeing now and in the future.

He gives her a quick kiss on e the cheek before sliding back to where he was at.

“Hope you didn’t mind me doing that it seemed you were some where else mentally a second ago!”

The day was slowly getting later and he was happy that they had taken the time off to bond and have fun.

“ I am getting kinda hungry how bout you and if so what would you like?”

[Katalyn Downs]

Setting my bag down next to the hot tub slipping off the towel revealing a one piece swim suit and a pair of shorts never did like showing off my body.

I notice that Tony is trying not to stare at my slender but slightly muscular body probably thinking I’m looking hot.

Once I’m in the hot tub Tony tells me that it was a good question when I asked what happened to his chest, saying that an experiment went wrong and a booby trap from Whong-chu as it nearly took his life. At the beginning the chest piece was merely a magnet, and it evolved over the years to the present day, and he says he knows how it feels to have serious operations.

I flinch a little at the image of what Tony might have looked like; my operations were far less serious than his operations by far less. Seeing him rubbing his chest piece it looked like he was grateful to have the chest piece.

Saying it reminds him to live life to the fullest and it is not given that he will have a tomorrow.

Now I have to agree 100% with him I nod to him as I speak, “you don’t know if there will be a tomorrow for anyone or when you time is up, so enjoy the big and little things in your life.”

Tony sits fairly close to me he takes my hand and lightly rubs his chest piece then he let’s go of my hand.

Looking at Tony my eyes tell him that I understand why he did this it is for the present and for the future. Though I’m amazed by the way Tony’s skin has adjusted well with the metal. Touching the chest piece again the metal feels very light and not heavy.

Thought I saw something in the water as it was clear, I noticed that Tony was wearing a towel main I swear my eyes are playing tricks on me today face turns red with embarrassment from my eyes playing tricks, then he leans in and quickly kisses my cheek and my goes from a red to a pretty bright red, this was way too much in one day for this to happen.

Tony says I hope I didn’t mind him doing that as it seemed like that my mind was somewhere else a second ago.

Looking at him I smile softly, “sorry, I was just enjoying the beautiful surroundings, thanks for bringing me here and for bringing me back.”

Looking at my watch I didn’t realize how late it was and I still have a lot of work to do, “Damnit can’t believe how fast the afternoon went haven’t even started my work yet, looks like it will be a late night for me,” I mutter quietly more or less cursing under my breath for being so damn relaxed.

Tony says that he was kind of hungry and asks me if I was also and what I wanted. I’m really not hungry at the moment; I don’t want to say no, it’s not polite to turn down a late afternoon lunch invitation, “Maybe a light sandwich or a salad.” I said quietly.

[N.P.C.]

NPC: Is Duane Zandle

Seeing that Katalyn was distracted I quietly slip into the room not too far in just enough to have them in sight, Katalyn quickly settles herself down this should prove to be interesting.

I gag at the sight of her friend kissing Katalyn and her face turns red from being embarrassed, I think it’s time to get this little grudge match going.

Moving a little closer towards Katalyn within a few minutes I’m within range of them.

Taking out a small throwing knife and I steady it, “its good see you again you lousy rotten bastard or should I say bitch! I could have a good job and life after college; oh no you had to ruin that by turning me in! I should ruin your life make you lose your job! You should have died in that bar fire my life would have a lot easier bitch!”

Flicking my wrist and I threw the knife at Katalyn and I quickly move in to give her a good pounding.

[Iron Man]

She has become totally predictable during the trip thinks Tony. This is easily one of the best days ever. For lunch he was thinking of ordering something from bar in Stark Tower’s Tony had most recently hired some of the best cooks in the area so he could order anything he could have a taste for.

“Ms. Downs we have the best cook back at Stark Tower’s so anything you could want you can have!”

Ignoring the ringing in his ear that of course is his cell phone Tony stands up and readies himself to leave the hot tube. A slight smile comes to his face as he remembers the song Eddie Murphy did about hot tubes when he work for Saturday Night Live.

The approach of an individual he had never seen before catches his eye. Maybe a new worker but if that were true they were a little to early to collect the bill.
The person starts talking and sounds like a few people that were angry with him. Katalyn was this person target Tony scratches his head as he listen to this person rant.

After announcing that Kat ratted him out and that he was going to get his revenge. Revealing a knife he attacks. Tony couldn’t armor up in here he would causes to much damage trying to take this person down.

Even though he wanted to help at his distance he wouldn’t be any help. He was going to have to let Kat defend herself at least till they get to place were he can at least have some room to work without worrying about damaging anything.

Being taught by Cap himself Tony was good at hand to hand not great. This situation was going to unfold and he was hoping for a good outcome.

[Katalyn Downs]

Tony says that he has the best cooks around and they work for him, I can have anything my little heart could desire.

I’m really not that hungry but a sandwich and salad will do it for me, was about to say that when I saw Tony stand up in the hot tub and was about to leave. Thought I heard a cell phone ring.

Reaching over the side of the hot tub where my bag was to see if my cell phone rang. When hear a familiar voice from my college days, couldn’t forget this voice. Looking towards him not sure what to say. I listen to him rant about how life would have been a little easier for him if I hadn’t ratted on him he also says that I should have died in the bar fire, then his life would have been easy.

Hearing him say that I should have died pissed me off, quickly getting out of the hot tub. Not going to take this crap from him or from anyone else now way in hell. Yes in a way I should have died, I managed to survive and that’s the truth in life so deal with it.

He lunges at me with a small throwing knife, that doesn’t bother me in the least raising my arms to block the attack and I don’t even flinch.

Quickly moving my right hand even though it being hurt I still can do a lot of damage, clamping my hand on Duane’s wrist with the knife and as quickly as I clamped his wrist I snap down as hard as I can hearing one of the bones crack.

“You had it coming one way or another, just for the fact that you tampered with my science project which I worked my ass off for, and catching you using drugs you knew how strict the school about drugs. I had to the right to turn you in for using drugs and for tampering with my science project.” I said with anger in my voice and my eyes narrow in anger as well.

Taking a step back and roadhouse kick him square in the chest and then I throw a hard right hook to his right jaw.

[N.P.C.]

NPC: Is Duane Zandle

Taking the hit from the right hook feeling the whiplash effect and staggering back a few feet from being nailed in the chest with a size 8 ½ bare foot and slightly winded.

I quickly catch my breath wiping the blood from the corner of my mouth and from my nose, as far as my wrist goes it doesn’t faze me at all it still can be use.

Smiling, “looks like you haven’t lost your touch in brawling, is that all you got? Hope not because I’ve got a lot more where that comes from and when I’m finished your spirit will be broken, just like my spirit was broken bitch!”

Shoulder tackled Katalyn into the wall leaving a little dent in the wall where she hit, hearing her gasp in pain.

Landing a good one two punch to her midsection quickly moving my hand and went for the left hook. Adding to the assault I slid out another knife and stabbed her in the right side.

“Should of kept your mouth shut and stayed out of my business and I wouldn’t have been expelled from college, even my parents have disowned me because of what you did. Now it’s payback time!”

Quickly taking her right hand and spinning her around with her
back to me not giving her a change to counter attack and bringing her right arm back and pushing it up her back and holding it like a chicken wing.
