Christina Stark ~ Tony's sister

6

Christina made her way to her meeting point where she saw her friend

"Nice to see you again Phil" Christina smiled as she hugged him

"You too Christina, how is your brother doing?" He asked as they sat down in this outdoor cafe

"Good considering everything... I heard you tried to book an appointment with Pepper about seeing Tony... all I can say is goodluck because Tony is no fun" Christina laughed

"Fury put me on this one, I know he would've chose you if Tony knew what you do" Phil stated

"Don't remind me... Pepper saw those damn scars from my past mission yesterday, she freaked but I covered it up with a lie" Christina said as she tilted her head away from some people she recognised

"Do you want to move somewhere less... open?" Phil asked

"No, it's fine... I just know those ones... most people don't recognise me outside of business work luckily" Christina giggled as she changed her normal American accent into a spanish one

"Well, it works for when you're with us" Phil shrugged

"Pretty sure the suit has to do with that... the hood hides a lot you know" Christina laughed

"It wasn't my idea, it was Furys... oh, Romanoff and Barton wanted me to say hello from them... and I'm sure Romanoff said something along the lines of goodluck" Phil laughed

"She knows me too well" Christina laughed
"Hows the woman... cello player, right?"

"She is great, she said she can't wait to see you again" Phil laughed

"I made a good impression then" Christina giggled before seeing Tony was messaging her

"Is that your brother?" Phil asked

"Yeah... he seems on edge again... he panicked this morning because I did a little, well he thought that my sleep was because I was worried about him... it was partly right but I ended up training like mad inbetween the drinking" Christina explained

"I'm sure it is just paranoia from the 3 months of captivity" Phil tried to reassure her

"Anyway, I was surprised to hear from you yesterday... thought being level 8 for the last god knows how many years and being good friends with you and Fury was suppose to be a good indication to trust me" Christina stated

"He didn't want to trouble you" Phil smiled

"He always says that when he needs my help the most... he wants him on that Avengers initiative, doesn't he?" Christina asked

"I have no clue, Furys keeping the candidates on a down-low for now... I thought that we are only using super-powered people for that anyway" Phil explained to her

"Yeah... I mean it sounds about right... Could be for Tony's weapons though, with all of them now going off the market, if he goes through with his pitch" Christina said as the two got up, noticing more people coming to the area. They made their way to Christina's car and drove to a off the record training facility.
"I missed this place" Christina smiled as she opened the door, seeing it empty.

"When you, me, Fury and Hill use to come down here and train then drink like crazy" Christina laughed

"Or when me and Fury told you about the wierd alien invasion thing back in the 90's"

"And to think we haven't heard of once since... although now we just said it... probably just made our odds worse" Christina said as she switched the targets on so they would move as she also grabbed a holster full of knives

"Anything exciting happen to you over those 3 months though?" Phil asked her

"I was treated like a damn piece of empty paper by Obie Stane... I get I refused to keep the company before but the reason Tony was given it at the age of 21 is because Stane was unstable, or so the board told me. The agreement was, if anything happened to Tony I was entitled to take over... so I did. Stupid me forgot that I was the least favourite sibling" Christina said as she threw the knives at the target, harder with each throw.

"As far as we could see, you done an amazing job... don't beat yourself up over it" Phil said

"I'm not, I'm just pissed that people thought I couldn't do it... acting dumb is the worst part of being a damn Agent" Christina said with a shake of her head.

A fair few days later

Christina was sat down in the room with Obadiah as Pepper just left. She was drinking away at the whiskey until they heard a huge crash

"What was that?" He asked Christina

"What was what?" She smiled, hearing it but choosing to ignore it

"Yeah, nevermind" He said as he went to the piano and start to play and Pepper soon came back up

"I'm gonna go to bed... my head kills" Christina told Pepper

"I'll bring you up some water in a few minutes then, and some pain killers" Pepper said, Christina shook her head as she made her way upto her room and sat on her bed. She felt this annoying headache grow each

"JARVIS, kill the lights... blackout the room and make the do not disturb a clear enough sign... also don't wake me up tomorrow morning" Christina said as the room dimmed right to a total pitch black room. She rubbed her temples as she led down, until there was a knock at her door and Tony walked in
"No no no" She whined as she hid her head under her pillow

"What's wrong?" Tony asked her as he closed the door and sat on her bed next to her

"Nothing, everything is peachy" She snarled as she closed her eyes

"You are a terrible liar Chrissy... what is wrong?" He asked

"Just a stress migraine..." Christina whispered

"Sure sure... move the pillow" he said

"No, it is cooling my face" She argued

"I'll take it" He smirked as he snatched the pillow and looked down at her, well the shadow of her

"Don't turn the lights on... just go finish your stupid Mark 2 Project" Christina huffed as she turned over

"How do you know about that?" Tony asked

"I saw it on your computer when I was looking through it for my files I saved about my company on there" Christina answered

"Rest up" He said as he kissed her head before leaving

"And I hear you crashing into the walls and cars every 2 hours" She added as she heard him get to the door

"That's a lie" He laughed as Christina fell asleep
