Christina and Pepper both smiled as the door to the jet opened and they saw Rhodey helping Tony come down the ramp

"Your eyes are red. A few tears for
your long-lost boss?" Tony said to Pepper

"Tears of joy. I hate job hunting" Pepper answered

"Yeah... vacations over" Tony smirked a little

"Just saying, you might not have any jackets or jumpers left clean" Christina spoke up

"What did you do to them?" Tony asked with a sigh

"Well, I took them because I didn't know when you were coming home" Christina smiled as the two hugged before Happy opened the door for Tony as he and Pepper got into the back while Christina got into the front with Happy

"Where to, Mr. Stark?" Happy asked Tony

"Take us to the hospital please Happy" Pepper told Happy

"No" Tony butted in, getting a glare from Christina and Pepper in result of that answer

"No?" Christina asked then the two started to argue for a few seconds about where the four were suppose to be going

"I’ve been in captivity for three months. There’s only two things I want to do. I want to eat an American cheeseburger and the other-"

"-thats enough of that"

"It's not what you think. I want you to call for a press conference now" Tony told her

"Call for a press conference?" Pepper asked

"Yeah. Hogan, drive. Cheeseburger first" Tony ordered. Happy looked over at Christina for a reassuring answer

"I can agree with the idea for food" Christina nodded, getting a small nod from Happy as he drove to Burger King.

"I'll go get a cheeseburger... or two" Christina said as they pulled up. She got out the car and walked to the fast food restaurant.

"Can I help you, Miss Stark?" The person asked her

"Can I have 2 cheeseburgers and a chicken burger with two bottles of water please" Christina ordered

"Of course" They smiled as they put it down and displayed the amount. Christina just handed over 2 20$ bills

"Keep the change as a tip" Christina smiled as she then stood aside to wait for the order. There was a little girl who kept begging her mom for some money for one of the little toy claw machines
"Hey, wanna show me?" Christina asked as knelt down next to the little child

"I wanted the little bunny" She said as she pointed into the machine

"Oh no, it's fine... don't worry about her" The mother spoke

"No no, I insist... she really wants it" Christina smiled to the mother, before getting a nod in agreement as she recognised who Christina was
"Okay, I'm gonna win it for you" Christina smiled as she placed some coins into the machine and started to move it around until it was in a perfect position, unexpectedly picking up 2 stuffed animals. They dropped out and Christina laughed as she realised she had another 2 attempts left.
"Alright then" Christina said, she was knelt down to keep playing. By the end of it she had 5 stuffed animals and one for the child

"Thank you" she smiled as she hugged Christina

"Anytime" Christina smiled

"What's your name?" The child asked her

"Chrissy, what's yours?" Christina asked back

"Rebecca" The child smiled

"That's a cute name. I'll name this little one Rebecca, yeah?"

"Okay!" She giggled as Christina pointed to the little tiger in her jumpsuit pocket

"Miss Stark, your order" A worker said as they handed it to her

"Thank you" Christina smiled as she took it and stood up, brushing down her jumpsuit
"It was nice meeting you Rebecca" Christina smiled as she walked out and back to the car

"What took you so long?" Tony asked as she sat down

"It was busy" Christina said as Happy started to drive. She handed Tony the bag for his food

"Then why did you also hand me a stuffed animal?" Tony asked

"Because it was cute and I won it" Christina smirked as the car started up again and they drove towards Stark Industries 
"Heya, what's up?" Christina asked as she answered a phone

"A heads up. I'm gonna be there today and we don't know eachother"

"Fine by me" Christine said as she took a sip of her drink

"Alright, I'll see you later" Then the call ended

"Weirdo" Christina said, shaking her head

"Who was that?" Tony asked

"A friend, just wanting to plan a small catch up" Christina smiled as they continued the drive.

The car soon pulled up around the front of the building, a crowd of employees cheering. The car came to a stop as Obie came to the doors and opened them up. He pulled Tony into a hug and spoke to him briefly while Christina stood next to Pepper and Happy before they walked inside Stark Industries

"Nice to see you returned, Christina" Obie told her as he turned to see her before she walked next to her brother

"Well I at least had to be a private welcome waggon, not infront of an entire audience" Christina smirked

"You're attitude has not changed at all" Tony whispered to his sister

"He deserves it" Christina shrugged as she took a sip of her drink while Tony unwrapped his second burger. They walked into the room full of cameras flashing at the two siblings
"I'll catch up" Christina said as Tony walked ahead for a brief moment, she slid into the crowd and saw a familiar face

"I thought my call was pretty specific" He said as he saw her

"I know it was... I just need to make sure whatever you're upto... it is safe" Christina said

"Always, I'll come catch up with you tomorrow or something. Go be with your brother" He smiled as Christina nodded and left him. She made her way to the stand where Obie Stane and Tony was stood

"Hey would it be alright if everyone sat down?" Tony asked as he pulled another burger out his pocket

"Where did you get the third?" Christina whispered as she sat next to her brother

"Specifics Chrissy" He whispered back before turning to the crowd
"Just sit down... this way everyone can see me and- and little less formal" Tony said as Obie sat the other side along how all the people sat down infront of them.
"I never got to say goodbye to my father... theres question that I would ask him, I would ask him how he felt about what this company did... if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts... or maybe he was every inch of the man we remember from the news reels... I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to protect them, to defend them and I saw that I have become apart of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability" Tony spoke, Christina looked away for a brief moment before a person spoke

"What happened over there?" He asked Tony

"I-I-I had my eyes opened" Tony said as he got up, placing a hand on Christina's head, before he held his hand out to pull her up. She stood next to him and looked over the crowd
"I came to realise that I had more to offer this world then just making things blow up. That is why, effective and immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division" Tony announced and the press leaped up with questions alongside Obie standing up and pushing Tony aside. The two argued over the microphone for a few minutes before Tony took Christina's arm and dragged her with him through the crowd of press.
