Katalyn's Worst Nightmare (Tag Iron Man)

[Katalyn Downs]

From the corner of my eye I see that Tony was ready to hold me back from not slugging Miss Vale. I know that I came way too close of snapping.

Seeing Miss Vale didn’t flinch when I bored my eyes into hers and more or less told her off about my parents. She backed off good hope that my message got through to her I’m pretty sure that she saw before the interview started I wasn’t really in the mood to be questioned.

Tony speaks up for himself about not being drunk and I can see a little smile and he wasn’t mad at me for the remark about saying he was always flirting with the ladies.

Miss Vale is taken off guard with a comment from Tony as she drops her tape recorder and notes on the floor and her face was red as a beet. I kind of smile to myself well at least I’m the only one who likes their go red in front of Tony.

Tony tells Miss Vale that Iron Man was an employee of his and was near by the fundraiser and when I left he had sent Iron Man to help and to see if there was a threat to me.

He answers the question about Pepper and I’m totally taken off guard. I thought I was just filling in for Pepper it looks like I’m now Tony’s full pledge assistant, I’m filled with excitement this is an honor working for Tony my eyes are filed with pleasure.

Miss Vale quickly picks up her items and it looked like she was lost for words for a moment or two and comes back saying that she was caught off guard at the fundraiser when he kissed her and she was a busy women and didn’t have time for men like Tony.

She turns off the tape recorder, I sigh to myself glad that was finished. Miss Vale stands up and straightens her clothes and clears her throat.

Saying she was sorry for upsetting me and she truly met what she said at the beginning of the interview about my parents and what I’m going through. She had a friend who had gone through this as a kid. And she wouldn’t run this story good, and if you do it will mean war with me. Miss Vale said that she would do the interview with Iron Man when there was time and to have a nice day.

Miss Vale walks towards the door of the lobby she turns around for a moment saying that since that Tony and I are not an item she would like to work out some things over dinner, not over my dead body I’ll be there watching from the distant as a body guard and she leaves.

Sitting down bringing up both my hands and rubbing my temples the nasty headache is still pounding at the moment like a freight train.

After a couple of minutes looking up at Tony and smile a little, “Mr. Stark sorry for almost snapping like I did with Miss Vale. It’s like everyone is now looking into my personal life and I don’t like, this will take a long time for me to get use to. How do you deal with the media? Damn it feels like dog years with the media and you.”

Gathering my purse and standing up, “let’s go and see the new apartment you built for me.” I’m assuming that the apartment will be totally bare and will need to have my stuff brought over from the old apartment that can be done slowly one room at a time.

Taking out my cell phone and I called a close friend of mom and dad that has known us for a long time and has a daughter that I’m close friends with and she is my age and we have stayed in touch with each other over the years.

Telling my friend what I needed from my apartment and telling her that I’m moving to a new place and instructing what I needed to brought over to me now and I would meet her in the lobby of Stark Towers. She says not a problem and she would be here in hour and a half she is the only friend I have and I had trusted her with spare key to my apartment.

Saying good-bye and I return my cell phone to my purse. Have my laptop at the office I can get that after seeing my friend at least I’ll have something to do later walking to the elevator.

Stepping off the elevator on the floor where Tony’s apartment was on, walking down the hallway to the other end seeing that the apartment had my name on the door plate.

There is a key pad next to the door this must be for the lock, wow this way different than the old place only had a key to lock the door this will be a lot safer than the old place, and I wait for Tony.

“Wow Tony this is different a key pad a code for a lock better than the old place, will be much saver here, don’t get me wrong the other place was safe over there this just makes the other look cheesy.”

Putting my hand on the knob and turn it and it wasn’t locked opening the door and stepping in into the new apartment.
Letting out a huge loud gasp of joy, it looked like I stepped into the most spacious living quarters I have ever had; the place is bigger than my parent’s house and my tiny apartment whistling loudly in awe, “Wow! I’m going love it here won’t be going back to the old place!”

I walk around the living room it was huge it looked there was a few more rooms looking into the kitchen even that was big next was bathroom, “OMG! This way too much a hot tub wow! This totally awesome!”

Stepping into the bedroom my heart skips a beat the closet was the biggest I’ve ever seen it could swallow you up with the room in it and it will hold all of my clothing and then some.

Stepping back to the living room I’m smiling from ear to ear don’t’ think I could be happier at the moment. Tony was standing in the living room smiling, “I love it Tony! Thank-you so much and I’m honored to be your assistant. You are the nicest boss I have had in a long time, those temp job places are the pits! Will I have to pay rent Tony?” I asked.

Walking over to Tony and I very gently take him into my arm standing slightly on my toes to reach his face and I very passionately kiss Tony for a few moments there were a few tears of joy escaping from my eyes.

Moving my fingers lightly down his face and neck reaching his chest I unbutton his suit jacket and shirt lightly tracing my finger over his chest, “Damnit Tony you are one gorgeous look man!” I said softly.

[Iron Man]

Not having to worry about Katalyn going to jail for assault was a huge relief. The tension between them was so thick he could cut it with a knife. Giving Vicki answer catches her completely off guard.

He didn’t think was possible but Ms. Vale may have turned a shade redder than Katalyn. Dropping her recorder and notes even stammering he couldn’t help but think if he wanted her he could have her.

She stands up and he she shows the spark of humanity that he saw as Iron Man. She apologizes and he couldn’t help but believe that she meant it and he believes she wont run the story. After getting herself together she heads to the door stopping she proposes a date to talk about an possible interview with Iron Man.

“Well Ms. Vale if you keep your word and not run that story I’ll see what I can do!”

Her new apartment had officially blown her mind. She was like a kid getting the pony she wanted for her birthday. Katalyn excitement seemed to grow with every room. He could help but smile at her child like aura she was giving off.

Hearing her call him the nicest boss she ever had made him feel good she then asks about rent .
“There’s no way I could charge you anything Katalyn you help me more than I could ever put in words!”

They walk over to his place Tony thinks that a little champagne wouldn’t hurt but before he could get it she kiss him. The door closes behind them as she pulls him closer unbuttons his shit and runs her finger down his chest she says what exactly on her mind.

“I couldn’t agree more Ms. Katalyn but that’s enough talking about me lets talk about you!”

He reach around the middle of her back and pulls her closer and pick her up off her feet. He returns the kiss her back only pausing to remove her shirt. He dims the lights and letting his emotions take him and doing what ever felt good.

[Katalyn Downs]

Tony answers the question about the rent saying that I don’t have to pay I’ve helped him in more ways than he can say in words. I’m very shocked and I let it go.

Slipping my skirt on then my tank and blouse then the jacket looking at my watch have about 10 minutes before my friends would be here with the requested items from my old apartment. I’m smiling from ear to ear gain like I’m walking on air.
Looking at Tony’s gorgeous body my heart skips another beat letting out a little gasp wouldn’t mind going another round, maybe another time. Damnit Tony this one experience I’m not going to forget for a long time.
“Tony this is one experience I’m not going to forget for a quiet

sometime, you see this was my first time to experience this kind of pleasure and it totally took my breath away!”
Sitting on the edge of the sofa where he was slipping my shoes on, before I get up I lean over him and kiss him again, quickly getting up so he couldn’t pull me back down on him.

“Have to meet my friend down in the lobby with the items I had her get for me that I’m going to need for the next couple of days until I can get my things from the old apartment over here. Have to stop by the office to pick up my laptop, don’t think I can work after this my mind is too scarred shouldn’t be too long.”

Grinning as I head out of Tony’s apartment and head down to the lobby. Just as I’m walking to the exit of the lobby I see my friend walk in and I head over to her waving my hand to signal her that I was here. Greeting her with a hug it’s been a while since I’ve talked to her. “Hey Cindy nice to see you gain sorry for not calling you as of lately with everything going with mom and dad’s death,” I said sadly.

Katalyn’s friend sets the bags down on the floor to and she returns a hug to her friend, “no Katalyn under the circumstances I totally understand, there is no need to be sorry. I’m also really sorry for your lose Katalyn you’re parents were wonderful people I’m going to miss them,” Cindy said with a tear that slid down her cheek. Cindy hands Katalyn the items she was asked to get.

“Here are the items that you wanted as far as the clothing goes not sure what you wanted so I brought two sets of business suits with matching shoes, two sets of casual dress and shoes and everything else you wear under, also here is the care package you wanted also I know this will be hard for you to go over it’s going to hurt a lot if you need to talk to someone you know I’m always around when you need someone to talk to. Oh where are you moving to?” she asks.

I couldn’t help it and I smile broadly at Cindy, “I’m moving into an apartment here at Stark Towers guess I won’t need to have a car anymore I can walk to work lol. Anyways need one more favor from you Cindy could you have your dad call at this number,” I said giving her my cell phone number. “Need a favor from your dad helping me move over here in the next couple of days,” I said smiling.

“Sure Katalyn you will have to show me around when you are finally settled in and are finished with the task of your parents please promise me you will,” Cindy said smiling.

“I will do that Cindy and thank-you for getting the items for me, I’m not in the mood to deal with the media at the moment they have been all over me wanting to know what happened and I plain refuse to tell them not their business, I know you understand.”

Katalyn’s friend nods to her. “Alright Katalyn if you need anything else call me and I can get what you need also if you need to talk to me for any reason you know who to call.”

Smiling and I hug Cindy again, “again thank-you Cindy you are a good friend I will call if I need to talk to about the recent events and what happened with dad and mom,” stepping back band watch my friend walk out and I wave good-bye to her.

Taking the few bags that Cindy left and head to the elevator and head to the floor where Tony’s office is I head to my little area and pick up a couple of the things and the laptop and then head back to Tony’s apartment. Opening the door and stepping in with the items setting them down next to the door closing the door.

Taking the laptop and the items I brought from the office and the care package from Dad walking over to the coffee table setting the laptop down and the other items sitting on the floor opening the computer and start looking at the paper work. “Back and it’s time to get down to business with Dad’s estate.”

[Iron Man]

Tony could help but feel like had connected with Katalyn she felt to good to be true. After the passion they share Katalyn tell him that it was her first time he felt both honored and saddened because part of him felt that he had taken advantage of her.

She leaves him to go be with her friend they had a lot of plans. He had to get her a house warming present but what would be. She would most likely get every thing she need while she is out then it hits him what bout something that can’t be replaced after quick shower he gets dressed grabbing his new limo driver he drives to the police department.

The chief was not to happy to see Tony Stark in his office but since he was not there because of an legal issue he gave him a break. The case against Duane was still on going but they had looked through almost all of what was left. They had given her back most of things but not everything some was needed for evidence.

One of the detectives returns with a charred picture of katalyn and her parents. The picture was damaged badly there were slashes and smudge marks on it. He could take it back and fix it.

He couldn’t help but see how happy Katalyn looked in the picture it must have been birthday picture or maybe a Christmas one. After thanking the chief and promising a donation to the Policemen’s Ball he jumps into the limo and heads back to Stark Towers.

He wouldn’t even have to go to the lab to take of this he gives his new driver some money and tell him to pick up a picture frame. He walk to his office and scans the picture he then sits down at his desk and opens his three d connection to Jarvis.

Having the computer run a image cleanser and finder he is able not only to clean the picture he is able to fix the slashes. The picture looked great he prints out a copy the driver got a perfect oak frame and the picture fit in the fame snug. He would keep the original at his desk to remind him of the promise he made to her parents.

Then he begins to feels bad having sex with her was not part of that but it felt so right he was sure as long as he did right by her they would be alright with it. He puts a bow on the frame with a note that says welcome home. He leaves his office and places the picture in the middle of her living room and heads back to his place.

He is not there long as Katalyn walks in with her laptop. She lets him know that she was about to work on her fathers estate. Since Tony gone through that process himself he was more than willing to help. Walk over and kissing on the he takes a seat beside her.

“I have done this dance before so if you need any help just let me know!”

[Katalyn Downs]

Tony steps over and kisses me on the forehead and sits next to me saying he had gone through this before and was more than happy to help me out, and I had been silent for a long time and into reading dad’s will only rustling of pages being turned pen scribbling down key notes then entering the key notes into the laptop in different categories.

Out of habit after I’ve been working for a long time at home hitting the media player button and play the first playlist, and this is my favorite playlist it has a collection of songs that I like to hear a lot keeping the volume down but up enough so I can hear and Tony can hear if he likes what I’m listening to.
First section of the will is finish that was an overall account of what was stated in the will itself, setting the small pile of papers to the side and marked finished with a question mark.

Going to the main part of the will and the first part was dad’s last request, reading through it ever now and then reaching for a tissue and wiping my moist eyes, setting the papers down my hands are trembling with sorrow and tears are lightly falling from my eyes down my cheeks.

The playlist is playing one of my favorite songs titled a call to Courage the song is from the movie titled Ladder 49 and I cried at the end of the movie, listening to song I see mom and dad at the old house in my hometown where I was born.
The smell of the rose bushes and the lilac bushes always have lingered in my mind loved the smell of them so much, “dad mom glad you requested to be laid to rest in our hometown really miss the old house,” I mutter softly wiping the tears from my eyes.

Picking up the papers again there was one more request and the request of Dad’s financial estate, such as bank accounts and investments accounts. Reading on and when I turned to the next page a small envelope falls to the coffee table.
Picking up the envelope and I carefully open it there is a note saying, Katalyn to save you a little time with sorting out the financial estate here are the links, names and passwords to the accounts and. This will give you easement of what I’ve invested and saved over the years. You will have to go to the bank to access all the accounts and investment accounts and sort through them, the bank clerks will be more than willing to help with this task. It’s not much though you are like me you will be able to live comfortably for a very long time. Finding on another piece of paper there were the links to where dad did his banking and investing.

Going to the web sight and logging in looking over the bank account first carefully then going over the investment accounts gasping in awe, “OMG dad this couldn’t be right no…” I mutter in shock continuing looking at the staggering figures I’m quickly writing them down on paper and my fingers are dancing across the number keys of my laptop adding, subtracting, and so on.

After a couple of hours of working the figures my eyes go wide in awe, “dang dad if I did everything right I’m sitting on a small mountain of cash, must have made a mistake somewhere there is now you could have this much cash flow dad!” Rubbing my eyes remembering Tony saying that he had gone through this and said he would happy to help, I sure do need a little help here looking over to Tony, “Could you give me a hand with the figures I know I’ve made a mistake somewhere. Didn’t think dad has this much cash flow.”

Sitting back against the sofa for some reason the ringing came back to my right ear, flinching in pain and I quickly take out the hearing aid and I bring both of my hands up to my head and I hold it for a minute until the ringing settles down, now I’ve got a nasty headache again cruising lowly, “dang it I hate this blasted ringing in my ear wish it would go away for good now I’ve got a head and it will bother me for a while.”

The ringing finally settles down knowing that the headache will make me unsteady I carefully edge my way up to my feet careful not to loose my balance. I stretch for a moment then I walk around to stretch my legs. Stepping towards the window to look out, when I see on a small table near the window two pictures one of Tony which looked like he was a kid and the other were two people maybe his parents, carefully picking up the picture of the two people who might be Tony’s parents, “Tony your parents?” I asked slowly turning around to show him the picture.

[Iron Man]

Sitting and watching Katalyn work was a pure delight for him. The way she would fidget and pause was priceless even when she would have her moment of anger He couldn’t believe how cute she would look she turns on some music and a very nice song at that.

She informs him of her parents request to be laid to rest in their hometown. He could very well understand that most people want to be buried where they grew up. Tony gives her a moment as he could see a tear rolling down the side of her face.

After her moment she went back to work Al short while later He could see what looked like a look of confusion on her face. She then begins to talk to herself and crunching numbers at a fast pace.

Tony could tell that Katalyn was happy and surprised with what her father was able to do. She asks Tony to look over her work to make sure everything was right He felt that was understandable she didn’t want to think one thing and find out another. He looks over the numbers and he couldn’t see anything wrong with what he could see she should be able to live very cozy for the rest of her days.

She catches him off guard with a question about his parents. It had been a while since he has looked at that picture of him and his parents. It was a special day in a way and he had a reason to be happy.

“Well Katalyn that is a picture of my parents I am happy because this was the day we went to the fair, It was a great day it was something we did once a year from that on!”

He slides the paper work away from himself and stands up.

“ Katalyn you work is correct your father was a very savvy man and I am very happy for you. Well Katalyn unless you need some more help I believe I am going to take a nap!”

[Katalyn Downs]

Tony sets down the paperwork and he stands up looks I’ve caught him off guard, answering the question saying the people in the picture were his parents and it was a happy day when they all went to the fair and did that once a year after words.

That’s reminds me during the summer months when I was on vacation form school Mom, Dad and me would go somewhere for a week or so just for down time and spend time together with each other those where the happiest times for me.

Dad always made sure that he spent time with us no matter how busy he was even after moving to the city he always took the time off to spend with me and Mom.

Tony says that my math was correct and he couldn’t see anything wrong with the figures, I’m happy that I didn’t make a mistake hopefully that the totals will match the bank, I’m sure it will don’t like taking changes with these staggering figures.
He asked if I needed him for anything else and if not he was going to take a nap. Looking at Tony, “Not that I can think of Tony there is more in the will I need to read over then I have to see about the house insurance on Dad’s house I believe that he had that with the will to make it easier for me to handle. Go take a nap Tony I’ll finish up here and call it a day I know there’s more to the will and I’ll look it over in the next few days thanks for looking over the figures.”

Seeing Tony walk off to his bedroom I settle back down slipping the hearing aid back in, picking the paper where I had left off and continued to read through the will, listening to my music it’s soft enough and it shouldn’t bother Tony. Writing down again key notes from the will, have to go back to dad’s house and see what I can salvage from the house if there is anything I can save, that blast did a lot of damage and of course the fire didn’t help matters either. Setting the pen down and I stretch a little and I stand up it had been a few hours since I went back to reading dad’s will there is a lot but I’m about ½ maybe ¾ reading through.
Walking around and stretching my legs for a few minutes then I go back to where I had been working and I carefully put the papers back in a neat pile and slip it into the envelope that it came in.

I couldn’t resist myself and I walk to Tony’s bedroom he is sleeping I’m sure he is sleeping pretty lightly or maybe not. Quietly stepping into the room and I lightly set a light blanket on top him, very carefully whispering to him, “Tony thank-you so much for helping me through this time sorrow you have been wonderful.” Then I step back and out of the room and I decide to close up for the day packing everything up and putting it back into my computer bag.

Needing to step out for a while and take a long break I go back to my apartment I’m still in awe with how much space it has stepping into the living room there is something in the middle of the living room on the floor, walking over to the item.

Kneeling down and I see it was a prize picture of me with mom and dad tears are rolling down my face. That was the last picture of the three of us it was taken the last year of college. They were so proud of me when I finally finished college I was there little girl. Wonder who found the picture I don’t have a copy of it because it was my gift to them, then I see a note that was attached to the frame carefully opening and reading welcome home that puzzled me for a moment how could someone know about this picture it was in dad’s house. Then it dawned on me maybe Tony had found it somewhere around the house after the fight don’t know but I will cherish this in my heart.

Sitting on the floor and I cry hard for a while and didn’t realize that I had cried myself to sleep I’m lying on my side hugging the picture one could see my face was streaked with tears.
