001. "Stereotypical Sappy Pet Nickname"

Three Days Later

Carmen sat on Pepper's home desk as she came to visit the woman who was like a mother to her

Carmen had no idea who her real mother was, and she didn't care because Pepper was all she wanted

"Pepper, are you and dad breaking up?" Carmen asked her father's secretary and girlfriend

Pepper looked up at her and gave her a small smile

"I don't know, sweetheart. I just need a break, that's all" She responded as she grabbed the rest of her papers

"Oh, okay" Carmen muttered and look at her hands playing with her sweater paws

Pepper sighed and turned to the young 16 year old girl who became like a daughter to her

"I will always love you and your father. I'm not going anywhere" Pepper tried to convince her

"I should get home" Carmen muttered and jumped off the desk, her flower printed timberlands hitting the floor

"See you later, I hope" Carmen told her and walked towards the door

"I love you"

Carmen turned around and made eye contact with Pepper

"Love you too" Carmen responded as she walked out the door and towards her red Jeep Wrangler

🌙

Carmen walked into her home, Stark Tower.

Although it has changed over the years she still loved it, but missed the good times, like when Jarvis was around

She really missed Jarvis, although she most definitely forgave her father for that whole situation, some people can't let it go

"Hi daddy" Carmen greeted her father as he sat at the bar with a small glass in his hands

"Hello, stereotypical sappy pet nickname" He responded as they did their quick little handshake

"What's the plan?" Carmen asked him as she took a seat next to him at the bar

"Before we can assemble a plan, we need a recruit" Tony told her and pulled up a screen in front of them

A video then started to play of someone in a red and blue suit literally catching a car before it hit a train and then 'webbed' away

"Where do you find these things?" Carmen asked as Tony chuckled

"We're going to Queens"
