7 Plan

Tristan calmed down once he was further away from pops. Frank had made him madder than he was supposed to be once he saw that boy wearing new clothes, Frank's boy. Clothes bought using money him and his sisters had worked for with blood and tears. Money the previous Ian had died for. The worst thing was that he knew Frank was not going to pay. He will probably skip town and go into hiding for a while, a fact that made him almost go back and take a kidney if he didn't know they were both hanging on by a thread!

"Fucking hell!" he sighed as he sat at a bench. He needed money with the bills coming in fast. He also needed much more money in order to relocate him and his sisters! That's too much for a normal teenager!

"I need a cash cow!" he exclaimed before racking his brain. This was Marvel universe, he didn't know everything but there were some things he was a pro at. One of them, military operations. He had not become Master Chief by twiddling with his thumbs all day.

Now, the biggest cash cow might be Tony Stark. He had been kidnapped by a terrorist cell in Afghanistan and being forced to make Jericho missiles for the cell. Now that he thought about it, Jericho missiles are a fucking genius idea. A missile that can cluster bomb is just heaven sent, no wonder they would just spit on the money Obadiah Stane provided them. If they have one of those and release it in New York, it will be the worst terrorist attack ever, 7-11 would be a kid's party compared.

So, he decided that the. best way to get a large amount of money as fast as possible was to save Tony Stark. But, there was a big problem. He had no idea where Tony was being kept. However, there was a solution to that and it was with Tony's brilliance. His mind made up, he got up from his bench and walked to his house. There, he found his sisters waiting for him at the living room.

"Did he give it to you?" Mandy worriedly asked.

"Nah," he answered before signalled everyone to sit down. "I have bad news everyone. I found Frank but he didn't have the money. He had spent, if not all, most of it on another child of his." He was heartbroken to see Sue's and Chloe's face become crestfallen. They were the youngest and being sheltered by the love of their two older sisters and a dependable brother, they had not faced the worst of Frank.

"Does that mean dad doesn't love us any more?" Chloe asked as tears started swelling in her eyes. Tristan steeled his heart, resolving to give Frank a beating of his life the next time he saw him.

"It doesn't matter, Chloe. With me here, why do you need him?" he tried to console her but that just made her start crying. Mandy, ever the motherly type hugged her consolingly. Tristan looked at Sue who just looked sad without her crying. He decided that he was going to watch out for her.

"What are we going to do? We need that money in two weeks?" Zoe asked him.

"I have a plan for that. If all goes well, in three days, we will have so much money we will be swimming in it. But, I am going to LA for some business. I want you all to keep your heads down a d if any thing happens, you don't hesitate to call me,"

"Is this a drug deal?" Sue asked.

"No, hopefully I am completely done with that. I'm meeting someone that's going to help us get the amount of money we need to finally get out of this dump. No drug dealing will be required, I promise all of you," Tristan reassured them all. Zoe gave a small nod before going back to her books. Mandy shooed everyone out of the living room before sitting next to him.

"Will you be in danger?" she asked him. Tristan was amused by how this scene looked like when his former girlfriend was being worried everytime he was going out on a mission.

"It will not be dangerous, I promise you," he assured her, giving her a reassuring squeeze on her shoulders. Mandy sighed suddenly, looking so relieved it bothered him.

"I'm sorry," she said, fighting back tears. "I'm sorry it has to be you putting yourself out like that. I wish I could do it but I'm not as strong as you." Tristan pulled her to his shoulder, giving her a protective hug.

"I just want each one of you to come out of this stronger. I don't care what I have to do, as long as all four of you are safe, it's all that matters," he told her. "Besides, you are probably the most kickass girl I know. No way are you in any way not capable of making it out of this jungle we call it life. You just have to believe in yourself a d have a can do it attitude." Mandy scoffed at this before they both just stayed there being quiet for a few minutes.

"Whatever you want to do, just do it faster, okay? The others might not show it but it gets really tense everytime you are away,"

"I'll try and make it as short as possible," he promised.

.....

Personally flying to LA was much, much more comfortable than any other flight he had taken. Feeling the wind in his hair was such a joyous moment that he had slowed down half way there. He would have arrived much, much faster but he took two hours, an hour and a half spent playing in the air on the way here. But, now that he was here, it was time to put his mean face on.

Tony Stark had many properties, but two of his most prominent ones were the Stark tower and the Malibu mansion. It only took his three minutes to finally triangulate and locate the mansion, thanks to his comic and movie knowledge. With a bang, he landed on the porch, making sure there was no damage whatsoever.

"My name is Ian," he announced while looking at a hidden camera. "I can sense your presence, Jarvis, you might be hidden to other people but your electrical consumption is much more higher than anything else's." There was silence for a little bit before a slightly mechanical voice spoke up.

"Ian Waters, local drug dealer in Hells Kitchen, born in 1991 to Frank Waters and Mary Waters. Both parents on functioning alcoholics, Mary Waters confirmed dead on overdose..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're amazing and all," Tristan cut him off. "I'm not here to hear about my life's history but to offer my services." He took out his phone and activated his bundles. Jarvis took that as a hint to connect to it and started going through it. When he came to the videos, he watched it over and over again before setting his 'eyes' on Tristan, looking at him in a new light.

"What does this have to do with you coming here?" Jarvis asked.

"One of my many abilities is supernatural deduction. I know Tony Stark is alive, no way some terrorists will let one of the greatest weapons maker on the planet to die without milking him dry. What I want is for you to provide me with some utilities and I promise I will rescue him post haste," Tristan explained. Jarvis was silent for a while before the front door opened.

"Come in, Mr Waters, we have a lot to discuss," Jarvis said, amicably.
