Chapter 16

*Chapter 16*

Charlie's POV

Why wasn't my mums name on there? I almost felt sick to the stomach. This meant that Pepper wasn't my real mother. This meant that both of them had been lying to be all these years. I felt sick, my head spinning as I sat back on the floor.

It made sense, Why I was nothing like her at all. My dark brown hair, brown eyes, all from my dad. There was nothing of Pepper in me. I should have guessed, probably was why she wasn't around as much when I was a kid, I mean, usually a baby is supposed to be with its mother right?

I felt tears threatening to fall, not sad ones, but angry ones. Angry at how much I'd been lied to, angry that i hadn't figured it out sooner. But I didn't let my tears fall. I'm Charlie Stark, and Charlie Stark does not cry.

I pulled myself together and got up, picking up my birth certificate and stomping down to the labs were all the Avengers were, planning how to capture Loki. My mother was there too.

I quickly entered my code and stormed in, all of them turning to look at me in shock of why I was there.

"Yeah, I still live here twats. What the fuck is this?" I demanded, holding up the certificate. Both my parents did a double take when they saw what I was holding, everyone else just looked a bit confused. Usually someone, probably Steve, would scold me for my language and for calling them twats but I think even he could see how pissed off I was right now.

"Let's read it shall we? 'The Birth Certificate of Charlotte Diana Maria Stark. Born: 30th July 1997. Father: Anthony Edward Stark.' Oh and this is the interesting part. 'Mother: Kelly Johanna Daniels'" I read it out sarcastically. Everyone looked really nervous and looked to the floor, except for Peter, who looked extremely confused. Pepper, I didn't even know what to call her anymore, looked as though she was about to cry.

"Charlie we were going to tell you-" my dad began but I stopped him. All he was going to say was bullshit in my mind.

"Really? When? It's not like I'm 18 now or anything, not like you purposefully kept the box hidden and kept this off the computer so I wouldn't find it. Or were you too busy? Yeah because that makes sense, you are Iron Man after all, the famous Tony Stark. You have a lot to think about and a lot of important things, unfortunately, your daughter doesn't make that list" I snarled. It hurt. It hurt that they had lied to me all these years. My mother, well she had lied to be before, but my dad, he'd never lied to be before in my life.

I could see guilt in my dads eyes but I was so angry that I didn't care. "You know, being your daughter isn't easy, bring in the pupil eye since I was a baby, having to be perfect all the time. And I've been through a lot of shit, everyone used to lie to me because they thought they were protecting me. Like when you were in Afghanistan and Pepper or mum, whoever you are, told me you just holiday. I knew she was lying, just like everyone else. But now? I find out the man who I thought could never lie to me, had been lying to me the whole time." I spat, anger laced in my voice.

No one really knew what to say, they all stood there, blank expressions on their faces. "And what about you guys? Did you know about this?" I asked the Avengers, bar Peter. They all looked at me nervously, unsure of how to answer, but I heard their answer loud and clear.

"Of course you did, it was stupid of me to think that maybe someone who lived in this tower could actually be truthful" I almost laughed to myself. After all, I was just the pathetic little girl that clearly was never meant to happen and who just gets in the way.

I took the peace of paper and slammed it down on the table in front of both of my parents. "I'm going out, don't expect me back for a while" I glared at them before storming out of the lab, leaving a defeating silence behind me.

I ran to my room and picked up the get away bag I had used only weeks before, only this time chucking in more stuff, everything really. I made sure to grab my new serum too. I wanted to get out of this tower, I was 18, I didn't need to live here anymore. I grabbed all I could and went downstairs, grabbing my car and throwing my bags inside, making sure to disable the tracking device. I jumped in and sped off.

I needed a place to stay and I knew just who could get me a place. I pulled my phone out, going onto my contacts and clicking on a name.

"Shane hi, it's Charlie, Charlie Stark. Look I need a place, somewhere I can buy quickly, a nice one though" I asked him.

"Okay, well I have a place on 6th. An apartment, two bed rooms, it's very nice really. I'm selling it, so you could buy it off me"

"Thanks Shane, means a lot. Due me a favour and don't mention this to Ashley's dad and if my dad asks for some reason, don't tell him either" I warned him. Shane was Ashley's older boyfriend who sold properties for a living, he also bought properties to later sell for investments.

"Um okay? Charlie are you in some kind of trouble?" He asked.

"No I'm fine, I just need a place to get away, away from Avengers Towers" I spoke. I did. I had to do two things.

1.Get the hell away from all of them 2. Find out who Kelly Johanna Daniels was.

Sure, my dad probably could of told me but right now, I didn't know if I could trust what he said.
