School was over for today. Since a few days the albino girl spent much of her time wondering about an event that happened some time ago. She remembered that day clearly. First it seemed like there was just an usual robbery so she had decided to went there on her own – of course as her alter ego Icequeen. But when she had arrived the Mobile Mart there was already another hero waiting for the bad guys: Spiderman. He and Winter took the men into custody but suddenly another baddie appeared: A woman riding a huge mechanical bunny. To top it all Tony Stark aka Ironman apperade there, too. And he babied them! Unfortunately the villainess could flee. But what was her aim? And when would she show up again?
The girl's feet didn’t lead her to her home as usual. Today she chose another way. Yesterday she managed to hack Mr. Starks follow up chart for a few minutes and got to know that he would visit the Stark Expo today. This was, of course, no official declaration. And if the Invincible Ironman wouldn’t be behind schedule she won’t have to wait too long. She placed herself near the entrance but not too close because of the security guards. Today she wore a worn-out blue jeans, a black T-Shirt and also an Ironman-Cap and sunglasses. (No white today but a little bit Fangirl.) But she was sure that Mr. Stark finally would recognize her by her special hair and eye color.

This year's Stark Expo had been the first official appearance back in public since Pepper had broken up with him shortly before their wedding date. And even though there hadn't been made an annulation to the press, the newspapers had published a rectification right on page one on the next issue. Sometimes it wasn't easy to be Tony Stark, although of course, it was fantastic.
Anyways, his appearance at the Expo had been a good way to step back into publicity, just as seeing how much his fans had missed him. To have lost Pepper was hurting as much as it had on the day she had stated to have enough of his behavior and had packed her things, but it was on time to get back to his real self. Despite his willingness to finally pick himself up, Tony couldn't help checking his phone for any new messages from her, even if they just may regard the success of the Expo or something else businesswise. But other than businesswise messages coming from other senders and which were looking to difficult to concern himself with right now, there was still no sign of life from Pepper.
"Believe me that I don't like to say this but..."
"Yah, I know.", Tony put Happy off before he could have finished even. "Just thought she would at least have an interest in the company if not in me."
Happy remained quite at that, either because he knew that anything he'd say wouldn't change Tony's mood anyway, or simply because he had become Tony's personal how-to-deal-with-the-break-up counselor additional to the bodyguard job which rather should have been advertised as a babysitter job at that.
With both of them having this awkward conversation while leaving the building and walking towards the limousine, Tony suddenly almost clashed with a girl standing near the entrance. Instead of saying anything though, he just gave her a surprised look while tucking his phone back into the pocket of his jacket.
Happy was just about to politely fob off the fan that seemed to have been waiting for a chance of a meet and greet with her favorite hero when Tony raised a word first.
"Nice cap.", he casually passed a compliment before just walking by as, unfortunately, they were already late for another business affair, one that promised to become rather boring though. But as much as he had enjoyed being back on stage, he was exhausted as well.

Finally Tony Stark appeared. Of course, side by side with his bodyguard Happy. Suddenly Winter wasn’t sure what she really expected from this situation. And she also felt like getting weak in the knees. She asked herself if it was a good idea to hack herself into Stark Industries and appearing here to… Well – for what?
But then Tony recognized her. Happy also did. But before the bodyguard could send her away Mr. Stark gave her a short moment of his attention. "Nice cap." "Thanks," was all she could answer at this moment. And her voice sounded a bit squeaky. She didn’t like that but she couldn’t change it. But then she remembered that this might be the only chance to talk to Tony for a long while – just in case that they won’t meet again fighting against the same bad guys.
"Mr. Stark – wait a second, please!," she yelled and walked after him. "I hoped that we could talk a bit. Maybe… about Easter Eggs?! " She hoped Tony would get the hint.

"Mr. Stark – wait a second, please!," Well, Tony really liked to meet up with his fans but what he also liked was a well-deserved break before another business affair. It seemed that lately Pepper wasn't just neglecting him but also her duties as CEO of Stark Industries. He couldn't take it amiss on her though. Maybe it was better for both of them to find their way back to each other after a little pause because Tony was still positive that they would.
"I'm sorry but...", he started while still continuing their walk towards the limousine.
"I hoped that we could talk a bit. Maybe… about Easter Eggs?!"
Then suddenly Tony stopped his steps to change a perturbed look with Happy right next to him. "Did she just say..."
"I'm afraid she did.", Happy answered rather unfazed. In all the years of being Tony's bodyguard, he had heard quite a lot even more disturbing than this. "Unfortunately, Mr. Stark has to...", he tried to end this another time when Tony interrupted him yet again.
"Okay, a quick autograph. But I no longer sign on naked skin. Got into trouble cause of that, well, y'know. You have a pen and something I shall write on with you?" Of course Tony wasn't remembering that this whole autograph thing actually had been the same way he'd ditched her already last time because he wasn't remembering that as well. At least not right this moment.

Okay, he stopped. But he didn’t remember her apparently. His bodyguard startet to compliment her away, again. "Unfortunately, Mr. Stark has to..." But then Tony interrupted him. Yes! So he did remember! "Okay, a quick autograph. But I no longer sign on naked skin. Got into trouble cause of that, well, y'know. You have a pen and something I shall write on with you?" "Are you kiddin‘ me?!," was all she said at the first moment. Her facial expression also looked like she couldn’t believe it and as if she wanted to say 'That’s Greek to me'. "I don’t need another autograph, Mr. Stark. You already gave me one, remember? Nice to save you! So," she made a short pause to give him the chance to use his brain, "does that ring a bell? " She wouldn’t dare to speak that way to him under normal circumstances but Tony really stretched her patience. And, as always, she started to speak before thinking.

"Are you kiddin‘ me?!," Tony looked up in surprise at that. Sure, fans were always dreaming of some more Tony-time but this reaction was rare. As he felt Happy was running out of patience, he placed a hand on his arm to silently ask for another minute.
"I don’t need another autograph, Mr. Stark. You already gave me one, remember? Nice to save you! So," Tony gave her an expectant look. "does that ring a bell?"
"Oh, of course!", he suddenly uttered with feigned recognition towards the girl. No, he still had no idea who she was. But if he really had saved her, she at least deserved some time for a selfie. "Okay, one quick photo but then I really gotta go cause Happy is not so happy right now." His bodyguard gave him a shake of his head from the side as once again he was feeling like a babysitter rather than the bodyguard of an adult man.

"Oh, of course!" Finally. "Okay, one quick photo but then I really gotta go cause Happy is not so happy right now." Oh my gosh! No! He still had no idea who she was. Her face turned to Happy who shook his head. She gave him a look like she wanted to say 'Hey, I understand. I'm feeling with you!'. But maybe this would be her last chance to get Tony’s attention. So she took her cellphone and placed herself right next to him for a selfie. "Okay, say cheese!," she said while she released the shutter. Then she whispered to him: "It seems a shame, to play them such a trick. After we've brought them out so far, And made them trot so quick!" These were exactly the same words the Bunny-Lady had used before she had vanished. Perhaps Mr. Stark would remember These... But she wouldn’t bet on it.

Happy answered her silent look of fellow feelings with one that said You have no idea about the whole range of this job as another wave of impatience mixed up with it. He just exactly knew who was the one who had to explain if they would be late.
"Okay, say cheese!," Tony's corners of his mouth quickly rised for the photo just as he was adding the usual Tony Stark peace sign with his hand before the little fan moment was over again. But just as he was going to say his farewell, the girl suddenly leaned closer. In the first moment he almost feared to get kissed without getting asked. Fans were doing a lot of creepy stuff, especially since his break-up with Pepper had been all around the news.
"It seems a shame, to play them such a trick. After we've brought them out so far, And made them trot so quick!"
"Tony, we really gotta..."
"Wait, you're the girl with the bazooka!", Tony suddenly uttered as her whispered words had finally rung a bell indeed. It had been a while and it had happened a lot since then but never could he forget the disturbing picture of that rabbit-lady although he had seen a lot of disturbing shit.
"Is there something I should know? Wait, better not let me know. We really gotta go now, Tony. I'm sorry., Happy added in the girl's direction.
"Say hello to Spidey for me.", Tony finished their little conversation before it really could have become a real conversation at that. Then he put on a pair of sunglasses, about to enter the limousine with one last cool gesture of his hand.

"Wait, you're the girl with the bazooka!" YES!, she screemed out in her thoughts. But before she could say something more Happy interrupted them. "Is there something I should know? Wait, better not let me know. We really gotta go now, Tony. I'm sorry." "Say hello to Spidey for me."
Wait! That was all? To be honest she didn’t really think about what a conversation between Tony and her could be like. But this wasn’t what she wanted. "Wait, Mr. Stark!," she shouted out loud and ran after him to his limousine. "There’re so many things I wanted to ask you, so many things we could talk about – if you just could spare time for me." She grabbed into her purse and took one of her calling cards. "My Instagram, Facebook, Email – contact me, please." She first wanted to offer it to Tony but then remembered that he didn’t like to be offered things and gave it Happy. "I’m sure Mr. Stark don’t tell you everything what he’s doing when he’s turning on his Iron Man suit. I once fought against a Baddy side by side with him. Please, give this to Mr. Stark."

"Wait, Mr. Stark!," Tony turned around one last time, already half entered the backseat section of the limousine while Happy slowly but surely lost his patience. "Okay girl, please step back now. We really...""There’re so many things I wanted to ask you, so many things we could talk about – if you just could spare time for me." Tony let out a quiet sigh, about to say something when suddenly she was handing something over at Happy. "My Instagram, Facebook, Email – contact me, please."Fans had no idea how many cards of this sort he already got and that exactly the same amount of cards had never make it farther than into the next trash can. Bitter but true. That was the prize for being famous and awesome. It was not like he wouldn't love his fans, just they all seem to have a picture stuck in their heads that he couldn't fulfill, especially not at the moment where the break-up with Pepper was depressing him. Tony was already sitting inside the car, starting to playing on his mobile, when Happy still had to deal with the crazy fan outside. He closed the car's door before he was going to launch into an answer, one last try to finally get rid of her, when it was yet again the girl who spoke up first. "I’m sure Mr. Stark don’t tell you everything what he’s doing when he’s turning on his Iron Man suit." "He doesn't, no. And I'm fine with not knowing." For some reason, there was coming up this odd picture of Tony throwing a party and graphically explaining how to pee while wearing his Iron Man suit. Happy quickly shook off that disturbing picture in his head.
"I once fought against a Baddy side by side with him. Please, give this to Mr. Stark."
"Okay.", was everything Happy said as he received the card from her, knowing that Tony probably wouldn't even have a look on it. "Now get home safe." And with these last words of farewell, he finally opened the driver's door of the car and get himself in.
*** Inside the car ***
"I'm not gonna ask.", Happy eventually broke the silence after they have already hit the road. "Okay.", Tony replied with only half attention, checking his phone for any new messages from Pepper. Still no messages though.

At last even Happy seemed to loose his patience. But he finally took her card. At the very moment he did she starts asking herself if he really would hand it to Tony. Probably she wasn’t the only one who acts like this… But surely she was the only one who did it because she wants to help the Invicible Iron Man to fight againt dangerous criminals from outaspace! "Now get home safe." Winter just gave him a thankful nod instead of an answer.
She watched the car leaving until it was out of her sight. And then she began to have a vague premonition that she won’t hear anything from him. Feeling a bit frustrated – and to be honest like an idiot for coming here – she tipped her cap over her eyes. No one should see her tears of frustration and disappointment. It was not because she hoped to be Tony’s next love affair or something like that! (If she would have an interest in having an affair with a superhero she would favor Spiderman because he might be at her age – and she liked his friendly and joking demeanour.) It was because she felt like she had failed.
*** Winter left the place starting her way back home ***
