[May 30th, 1977]
Sky pulled into the parking lot of a cinema that was nearby to the hotel she was staying at. She walked up to the booth of where she bought the ticket for the film that her father had left in his list of things for her to do. The car outside she had just arrived in was a recent favourite of hers. It was a Ferrari Dino 246 GT which someone had painted yellow she at once had Ferrari repaint it to its proper colour.
The list also contained a bunch of other things to get. Like a Bell 222 helicopter from one series that would start filming in a few years called Airwolf. Another was one of the original Time Traveling DeLorean props from a film called back to the future once they made the third film. The list continued with random stuff from shows which were yet to be made like the Avengers, A-Team and Night Rider. Whatever those were.
When she found out about her father’s ability it had taken sometime for her to get her head around it. She had eventually figured out that even with the extraordinary group of people who ran the Augur Corporation, it was impossible for them to have been this successful.
She had read over all the plans that the council had put in place and decided to just stick with it and let things continue as they were.
Those she didn’t know the full scope of what they actually owned because Uncle Jim was incredibly good at keeping all of their resources under the radar with his ever growing intelligence network.
She ended up enjoying the film very much. She usually preferred reading in her spare time then watching shows like star trek. She wouldn’t watch it again but she could now see some of the inspirations for a few things those geeks at the Foundation had cooked up.
[March 1991 – New York]
A Porsche Carrera RS 911 Prototype in its infamous blue colour pulled into the estate. This was the latest purchase of the Cane Trust. Sky liked all the cars she was buying recently. Other than this she also had to buy in the next few years a Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, a Ferrari F50, a Lamborghini Diablo, a Jaguar XJ220 and a McLaren F1.
She liked the sound of all those cars. She loved cars and had ended up buying dozens mostly from her father’s list but a substantial amount of ones she took a fancy to.
However, she was in the passenger seat. Driving the car was a mid-thirties looking Hispanic woman. Her name was Dr Candela Laguna she was a psychologist who after receiving her doctorate was only offered menial low paying jobs.
After she was offered a high paying position at the Augur Foundation, she leaped at the position. She has mainly been studying the differences in people’s intelligence through neural pathways. Sky was pretending to be her intern.

She was now the executive of the Augur Corporation, but to hide the fact she still looked in her mid-twenties she did most of her business through the phone.
“This sure is a nice ride, Luna.” She spoke.
The doctor’s Nickname was Luna because candela was a bit too long. Luna responded with, “This is all thanks to Mrs Cane. She said she wanted us to meet the starks in style.”
Sky was still irked that her father would use an experimental serum on her when she was a foetus, but she had to admit that it was times like this when she enjoyed it though she didn’t like the Mrs bit. Even thought she was meant to be thirty-nine this year I didn’t mean she was old right.
The car pulled up to the front doors of the stark mansion and stopped.
Luna got out the car and headed to the door saying. “Kelly, please grab the equipment.”
Sky just nodded and grabbed three suitcases from the trunk.
(A/N: Almost instinctively typed trunk as boot. Huh hu haa.)
Luna Knocked on the door and it was answered by an elderly looking man. He then asked in a posh I mean refined British accent. “Dr Laguna, I presume.” To which he just received a nod as sky heaved the suitcases which would have been heavy even for her if it had not been for the super soldier serum, she had took a few months ago.
‘I need to let of some steam with the universes greatest punching bag Piotr.’ She thought to herself as she pretended to struggle with the heavy cases.
After Jarvis had offered to take the cases she had given him one and smirked as it slammed to the floor and she had then said it was fine and she got it. By the time she had set it all up in the living room a chatting couple of Luna and the elderly looking maria walked in talking excitedly.
After a few minutes maria asked, “Do you really need me as well or is it just him you want?”
Luna responded with, “Well, while I want to scan his and Anthony’s head, we really need as many as possible so if you want, I can do yours as well.”
Maria instantly agreed. She sat on the sofa as I put the metal crown on her forehead.
After a few minutes Howard went as well. Afterward Howard was amazed by the scans detail.
“While Philip said it would be worth my while I didn’t think you could get this much detail without one of those giant machines.” He said while looking at the readings.
“If you want, I can send you some images once there rendered.” Said Luna with a slight blush on her face.
Sky at this point was leaning on the door frame to the hallway.
There was a knock at the door as Jarvis opened it. It was Hungover looking tony. Sky just chuckled as she watched him greet Jarvis then go up the stairs. ‘He’s Cute.’ She Thought to herself as she heard a shout from the lounge.
“Tony, get your butt in here a get your head scanned.” Came the voice of Howard.
While putting a hand to his forehead he shouted back, “Dad, I don’t want to get my head sca…”
He stopped when he spotted sky who was still leaning on the door post smiling at him.
(A/N: Should I? Maniacal laughter ensues.)
He had at once sobered up upon seeing the angel that is sky. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. The roots and top half being red while the bottom half was a bottle blonde colour. She had decided to grow it back to her natural colour after her mom died a few months ago. Speaking of which the only member of the council left was Jim who was still running the clandestine operation in his eighties now.
She just shook her head as tony made his way over. She turned and walked back into the living room while adding a little extra sway to her hips. He was a bit too young for her but that didn't stop her from teasing him. He was too young for her at the moment.
