PLease review, let me know what you think esspecially with the thrid person POV or the First person

The cameras were flashing and Tony Stark, age of 21, sat at his third press conference since taking over Stark Industries. He was proud to finally be taking over. He was happy to follow in his father's footsteps.

And he was also, leaving early.

"Obie, you got this right?" Tony whispered as he didn't actually care about the answer seeing how he was already standing and buttoning his tailor made suit and silently slipping out of the room despite shouts of the reporters and board directors. He never looked back at them as he pressed the earpiece on; "Jarvis, how is she?" his tone of concern was evident as he made his way to Happy who was waiting patiently by the car.

"She is still sleeping sir."

Tony's confusion was clear on his face as the car began moving, "Then why was I called out?" Happy handed his a file of papers, "Happy, what is this?"

Jarvis replied for Happy as well as he answered, "Those are the resumes you asked for while looking for a secretary. Also, she has not woken yet she has a visitor checking on her vitals, a Dr. Bruce Banner."

Tony nodded calmly leafing through the papers not really looking at anything but the pictures, "Is that so? Interesting, do I have any calls or notes from the doctor?"

"No."

Tony sighed with a smirk as he nodded, "Thank you Jarvis." Well this was going to get tough, "Happy, could we speed it up a bit."

Happy didn't reply sarcastically or anything of the like. He just went faster because who can blame Tony. Any man would want to rush, Tony was just a bit impulsive but he always had been; even when she told him to go to the press conference and forget her for a day. Tony of 'course wouldn't do that after sitting by her bed side straight through for the past week, writing email after email, making call after call to get her help because in his mind she would always deserve the best.

You see Anthony Edward Stark was a lot of things and even though he may be all of them there was one thing that the press didn't really cover.

He was the best big brother ever.

Sure, they acknowledged she was always with him and she was just like him in almost every way and that she would be co-CEO when she turned 21 and that she was already well on her way to that but that didn't begin to cover it. Ever since four years ago when their parents died he stepped it up for his baby sister. He always loved her, was always supporting her and always building her up in ways their parents didn't care for.

He was proud of her. She already graduated from High School at the age of twelve and also installed one of the best if not the best artificial intelligence systems throughout their house. Though the reporters often asked if he thought she was a threat to his own intelligence he would always laugh and ask back 'Where is the problem in that?'

"Sir, we are here." Tony was shaken out of his thoughts by Happy already holding the door open.

Tony nodded and got out putting on his dark shades walking past Happy with only a hand gesture to leave as he walked through the revolving doors without a thought to the people around him. He threw his ID on the counter and lifted his shades for a moment as the young woman at the counter shuddered to rush and get a visitor pass written for the famous man. He took it with quiet thanks before weaving through the halls, getting on and off the elevators easily as he knew where he was going. As he walked through the floor he had rented for his sister he saw her room. It had glass windows facing towards the wall and the outside and there standing was a dark haired young man leaning against the window holding her charts of work and shaking his head.

Tony smoothed his coat before taking his normal personality once more as he walked confidently towards the man he had researched multiple times and had come to as a last resort. At the last moment the man looked up and immediately fumbled taking his glasses of and stuttering apologies but Tony didn't stop as he simply reached out a hand in greeting with a smile, "Dr. Banner I would presume?"

The highly esteemed man shook his head, "Technically not a doctor yet but I have to admit your offer was…." He paused and Tony didn't push him as he searched for a word, "Surprising, seeing how you could most definitely afford something bet-"

Tony cut him off, "There is nothing better," His attention turned completely to the slumbering girl in the hospital bed just behind the glass, "She is dying and nothing I can do."

Banner stood nervously beside him, "Gamma radiation though? Don't you think that is a bit inhumane to do to a child?"

Tony's mouth formed a perfect frown as he nodded, "Yes it is, but personally I think dying from this is worse."
Bruce Banner didn't seem to understand because to the grad student di didn't see the reason to go through such a risk for a one in a million shot, "You have to understand Mr. Stark the chances of her surviving are slim, and if it should work my research isn't nearly complete I haven't even self-tested it, the side effects could be devastating!"

Tony wasn't in the mood to deal with idiots today. His eyes watched as the petite teenager turned in her bed and her dark eyes fluttered open and a look of confusion crossed her features softer yet like his. She sat up quickly running her hand through her dirty blonde hair before looking to the two in the window, her eyes meeting her brothers' who was standing now with a smile on his face. The only similarities in looks were their eyes and features. As the young girl laid back down Tony knew though that this was most literally his last choice, and Jennifer's last chance, he had to be polite. Which is why Bruce was shocked when the arrogant playboy billionaire spoke quietly, "Just talk to her, and you will understand."

Bruce sighed, knowing full well this was Stark's way of putting on a guilt trip yet as he watched the girl simply pulled a bag onto the bed and pulled out a book, "The Hobbit". In that moment Bruce turned to Stark, putting on the glasses once more looking at the clipboard and walking to the door, "Fine, but I don't agree to this yet."

Tony held up his hands in mock retaliation, "Never said you did." Though as he watched the student doctor walk into the room a smile grew on his face as he knew Banner would fall for his sister, most everyone she met did.

Bruce walked in confidently yet as the door closed the girl looked up at him he almost froze yet simply slowed his walk meeting her eyes before looking to the board of info in his hands suddenly forgetting it all, "Jennifer Stark?" She closed her book partially using her finger to keep it open as she nodded, smiling slightly, "I'm Bruce Banner, your brother called me here."

Her dark brown eyes rolled with a gentle sigh as Bruce took in the I.V.s hooked up to her and how she seemed used to them by now as he moved to read them as well, "I'm so sorry for wasting your time Dr. Banner, my brother is sort of used to getting his own way and he is acting ignorant of the facts in front of him."

Bruce turned to look at the girl, the child it seemed with a curious expression, "Call me Bruce please, and how old are you?"

The girl seemed shocked by the question, probably because Starks were supposed to be smart, she never had to explain that to anyone, "I would be turning fourteen in a month."

He took the empty seat next to her and leaned back still reading page after page of information for her, "Has anyone ever told you that you are much too cynical for a child?" His tone was kidding and as she laughed lightly and he looked up just to see her smiling brightly.

"And you are a doctor? How old are you? Twenty?" She joking guessed his ages exactly as he smiled under the spectacles and read, "Plus I may be thirteen but I was supposed to be leaving for MIT this year, cynicism is sort of a requirement when you leave for college young."

He mumbled absorbing the medications and treatments she was already on, "Then I suppose it's good I'm not a doctor yet." After a few moments of silence Bruce placed the papers on the table beside Jennifer's bedside and leaned forward looking at her, "So, you say there is no chance huh? Your brother seems to disagree, enough to call me from studies at PA anyways."

Jennifer shook her head and sighed in frustration falling back on her bed, "That's because Tony is a but head sometimes, most guys are." Even though Bruce heard the last part he simply smiled at the thoughts of a fourteen year old as she continued, "Plus, he feels responsible being my brother and technically adopt father, he is just learning money can't buy everything."

Bruce remembered seeing the adopted father comment on the page and nodded not bothering to look any farther into it, "Well then since you are so plain about this Miss Stark, I will do the same. When are you supposed to die?"

Jennifer stayed lying down and Bruce began wondering if he crossed a line and was about to reconcile when she sat up slowly with a small smile on her face and a loathing look in her eyes that almost made Bruce quiver, if she wasn't a girl and lying in a hospital bed, "That depends on you doesn't it? Tony obviously brought you here for something radical seeing how you are actually nuclear science student and nothing like a doctor. With not only the variable then of your actually agreeing to doing something but then whether that's going to work which since you work with weapon it will not and so the question is really 'sooner or later'." Time froze for now before she added, "Oh, and the name is Jenny, Jenny Stark."

Her smile never faltered and Bruce began to realize she was always in NY newspapers, she was brilliant yet passionate; a dangerous combination. He on the other hand found himself sitting up straight in his chair like someone getting caught in school, not that he ever did. Tony however was astounded trying to figure out she knew that before realizing he had left her a phone, meaning he had left her with her best friend, Jarvis. Sighing he was about to enter the room and calm it down when her gaze shifted to him with an innocent smile and he couldn't do it.

Bruce finally spoke cutting through the silence, "Jenny, you are very smart."

The girl's face was pure happiness and her eyes completely softened as she laughed running her fingers through her long hair, "Tell me something I don't know."

"But," Bruce's word silenced her as she looked to him again, "You are also going to die, weather I help you or not."

Bruce immediately felt guilt as the girl's face dropped and he felt his own heart drop with it and then even more as she spoke sadly still smiling slightly, "Bruce, I said, 'tell me something I don't know'." From behind the glass Tony's heart broke at his little sister accepting defeat with so little fight yet he knew he couldn't do anything about it and that's what he hated most.

Bruce stood slowly and didn't know what made him do it yet he reached out and took her hand, perfectly manicured from before she came most likely as he spoke, now determined, "Jenny, I intend to prove you wrong."

He walked out without another word and Jenny simply shook her head and went back to her book. Tony however was hopeful as Banner came out and shook his hand, "Are you sure of this Mr. Stark?"

Tony nodded, "You can have whatever you want." He took the prewritten check from his pocket of five thousand dollars, "Let me know if you need more. When can it happen?"

Banner seemed shocked at first before remembering who the Starks were and simply nodded, "I can have it all here tomorrow, but I will also have paperwork drawn up."

Tony had already walked away and was waving as he went to his sister, "Nice talking to you." The moment he went into the room Bruce even stopped to watch because within seconds Tony was wearing his dazzling smile and even the smile on Jenny's face had grown brightly. Bruce walked away now sure she would live, but with what consequences.

JENNY STARK'S POV-

Tony casually came in taking off his suit coat, "Well aren't you a regular Irene Adler?" (A/N Just realized the Robert Downy Jr. reference ;] I'm so clever!)He turned the chair to face me better as he sat down and opened the file in his lap but not before watching me roll my eyes and laugh at his compliment.

"Toooooooonnnny! Why is this all so hard for you?" I laid back down a bit throwing my book on the side table trying to catch his eye though knowing I wouldn't. Tony had been taking this harder than I had and today had just sort of proven it for me, ironic seeing how I'm the one dying.

Tony simply shrugged nonchalantly and threw some papers on my lap, "Well Jen, choosing a secretary can be very difficult and I don't want to make the wrong choice, how do you feel about the brunette?"

Sighing I looked through the resumes while speaking absentmindedly, "Nope, she won't last one week with you." I searched the names before settling on one that caught my eye, reading her references and history and letter from reference quickly reading about her determination and smarts, "How about a strawberry blonde?" I knew how to propose an idea to my brother.

He shrugged looking my way and snatching the file from me quickly, "Interesting, she looks … Qualified." Thank god she was cute in that pic or he wouldn't know what was good for him. That however didn't stop me from saying what I had meant to say earlier to my adult brother.

"Now that that's taken care of, look at me Tony?" I asked softly so he knew I was being serious.

He tried to ignore it looking up at me innocently, "Yea Jen?"

I sat up in the bed and reached for his hand which he wouldn't have dared to pull away from me, "Tone, it's alright you know? I love you okay? I get it, I do, but you have a life and you shouldn't be here. You have a company to run and I'm positive the girls are getting disheartened."

It was silence for a bit before he spoke again, now it was clear he was just avoiding he subject, "I'm going to see about Happy getting us some dinner, I'm sure he wouldn't mind running to the Chinese palace. You want your usual?"

I looked out at the autumn sun setting over New York City that I could see from my window then back at my brother and nodding, "That sounds great bro, and you may also want to make the call to Ms Potts since you will forget later."

He pointed a finger at me, "Good idea," He picked up specific resume looking it over one last time, "You sure about the strawberry blonde though? I mean-" He looked back at me as I gave him a you-got-to-be-kidding-me look and he just nodded, "Right, right, okay then why don't you call her and I call for food."

I knew my brother well enough to know he would never personally call someone he didn't have to, especially when he was hiring them so I simply nodded and took out my prototype Stark phone tablet and went to call, then typed in Virginia's number. After about three rings she picked up, after verifying it was her I continued, "Miss Potts, this is Jenny Stark and I am calling on behalf of my brother to say congratulations you have got the job. Be in tomorrow morning, at Stark tower between ten and ten ten, Okay? Great." Hanging up I hadn't really let her get a word in but then again I saw no reason for her to do so.

Tony had hung up as well and was now just telling Happy to pick it up but as soon as he hung up, "So did you get any work done today?"

Eagerily I took out a note book from my bag and opened it showing Tony my idea of an actual Lightsaber which he was laughing very loudly at before taking the notebook and I could see him checking all my work, "This is possible." My turn to laugh.

"Oh and turn the page, I did all the calculations for that car downstairs that dad never finished, I know we agreed to stay away from it but I think its time we moved past it." Our dad was a touchy subject and was never really one we brought up. Tony had basically taken over my father's position by the time I was four with every nightmare, every bedtime story and every award. Then once the plane started going down and I was one of the two only survivors Obidiah was going to adopt me so me and Tony wouldn't be split up but instead Tony did it himself, that's why people ask the question as to why he is also my father on the records.

"Okay, but then I get to go through the cabinet of files." Our basement belonged basically to our dad before we came in and started working too but there is always stuff of his that we don't want to touch. Why? Neither of us really knows though I suppose it is just fear but we just don't want to.

I agreed knowing Tony hated paper sorting and would give up but didn't say anything. The rest of the night we simply talked, joked, the usual for us while I turned on the tv over the Chinese food watching a bit of big bang theory which was funnier because me and Tony knew all the science jokes, or well he knew them all but I got most. Around midnight a nurse came in to check my vitals and IVs, apparently I was dying but they had no idea what from. It was doing something to my blood however, it was killing my blood count by a lot and also destroying the tissue surrounding my organs.

She advised I get some rest tonight and I simply nodded as Tony shooed her out and I looked to him, "You going to stay here?" I felt immediately younger like whenever I'd have a nightmare and he'd come into my room.

Sitting back down, "Of course I will kiddo, least till you fall asleep at least." Smiling I laid down because even though I have encouraged him to give up, I would be lying if I didn't love his attention. Slowly I felt myself struggling to keep my eyes open and I felt Tony reach around me to tuck me in while kissing my forehead softly, "Night night, love you Jen." I only snuggled into my pillow and nodded before falling into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning Tony came by, now with his new assistant who was strangely curious as to what was going on because Tony had refused to tell her anything yet as she saw the girl, still sleeping in the hospital bed she recognized her as Jennifer Stark. Tony however stood talking to young dark haired man, who couldn't have been older than him yet was in a medical lab jacket while Tony simply was adamant about the sooner the better. The newly hired secretary over heard them only when their voice grew too loud-"But the gamma radiation is not a healing product, it's a weapon! This is unethical-" Stark rose a hand to stop the man as he took of his sunglasses slowly still smirking.

"Dr. I assure you I understand weapons quite well, but I also know the extent at which I am willing to go to keeping that girl alive. Now you have been paid, and I have done my own research, this is the next step up from the radiation she has been getting. If you plan to stand in my way, it will be in vain."

Even the young man seemed stricken as he nodded as Tony went into the room motioning for Miss Potts to stay where she was. She watched as he sat by the bed and if she didn't know better she'd say there were tears rolling on his cheeks. He seemed to be talking but it was too soft to hear and even the girl didn't wake up. Finally Tony stood and kissed her cheek before coming out with his sunglasses back on and Pepper knew there were tears. Stark only turned to the doctor, "Do it."

Two weeks later-

"Let's go Pepper!" Tony Stark shouted from his workshop and the click of heels could be heard running down the stairs as Tony simply hopped into what he knew was his sister's favorite car, besides her bug and Mazda Miata, he settled for a classic red 1955 corvette and hood down of 'course. Strange, the fact she couldn't actually legally drive never affected her.

"Shouldn't we wait for Happy or even Rhodes?" The woman asked as she approached the car and got in shakily, probably the first time she ever rode in her boss's car, Tony thought, good thing it's not mine.

Stark only rolled his eyes and began pulling out before speeding out of the garage and onto the open roads, ignoring Pepper's comments completely though he smirked at her fear of his speed. When they finally pulled up to the hospital Pepper sat in shock for a few moments while Tony even opened her door for her, "See, who needs Happy? I got us here, and in record time too." He mentally told himself to compliment his sister on the engine later as he walked with Pepper in the building and walking right past the front desk with a wave seeing how they knew him so well already. Pepper had been here every day with him so far and had only met his sister once which was the day after she woke up a week ago. It went well.

Soon enough they were upstairs and looking in at an empty room. Tony immediately looked around and went to the main nurse on this level but before he could say anything he heard the childish squeal of his little sister, "Tooony!" He turned to see her walking out of the bathroom in the change of clothes he had brought yesterday for her, which Pepper had actually picked out. Decked in a light pair of flare jeans with a purple and white tank and purple sweatshirt (unzipped) she ran at her older brother who almost picked her up as he hugged her. He couldn't help but notice her waist had thinned from all this time in the hospital but she found strength he didn't know she had to hug him just as tightly. Once he put her down she was beaming as she looked to Pepper too who smiled and nodded yet completely froze as the five foot girl hugged her as well before turning back to her brother, "I can go home now right?"

Tony didn't even bother looking at the nurse as he nodded, "Go on, and grab your bag and shoes, we are out of here." Although the Dr. Banner left four days after treatment and she still hadn't woken, her regular doctors attended her under the one condition that they couldn't take any of her blood. Tony over saw it all and he was ecstatic when she woke up only seven days ago and was threatening to kill him as she usually does. With no side effects appearing, other than a change in eye color he was confident she was well enough she could come back home and he could give the rest of this floor back to the hospital.

He looked to Pepper and began signing all the release papers of the hospitals, and his little sister ran back into her room and grabbed her faux suede ruck sack with all her books. She quickly put on her typical converse and ran back outside, "Ready?"

Pepper couldn't help but smile back at the teenage girl whose smile was truly infectious, "Ready." In minutes the three were out of the revolving doors and the adults were laughing as Jenny spun in circles outside screaming "I'm finally out of there!" Not bothering to mind the looks of bystanders. She eagerly jumped in the back seat of the corvette running her hand over the material and smiling back at them, "Thanks for bringing Apple!" Yes, she names her cars. You can ask anyone else in that house and not one could give you an answer on why she does but she does.

As they drove away she didn't even bother sitting in the seat as she sat on the back of it and put on her sunglasses. On that day I think every New Yorker could hear her as they drove, and she didn't care one bit, whereas Tony couldn't wait to see the paper tomorrow of the three of them in that car and her with her hands in the air all the way home.

He still hadn't told her the extreme as to what happened to her.

"But the gamma radiation is not a healing product, it's a weapon! This is unethical-" Stark rose a hand to stop the student on nuclear science as he took of his sunglasses slowly still smirking.

"Dr. I assure you I understand weapons quite well, but I also know the extent at which I am willing to go to keeping that girl alive. If you plan to stand in my way, it will be in vain."
