A/N: Hello everyone! I’m so stoked y’all liked my first fic! I really appreciate all the love and support you guys have no idea. (This might have to stretch to three chapters lol)

Tony Stark X daughter!reader

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tonys pov

A tense silence filled the halls of the Avengers tower. It’s been a week since Y/N left the tower in tears. It’s been two days since anyone has seen the girl to think of it.  The first few days it was thought the girl was just staying with a friend while she cooled off. But after the third day, a bad feeling settled in the stomachs of the heros. By the fourth day, they asked some of Y/Ns closest friends. 

No one has seen her.

Pepper called her aunt, Pamela Isely, but the women said that the last time she spoke to her god daughter was a week before this whole mess happened. 

By the time the week was over, it was concluded that Y/N Stark was missing. 

Tony Stark was not a perfect father. He knew that, of course he knew. I mean, he didn’t exactly have the positive male role models growing up other than Jarvis. He knew he wasn’t going to be a perfect father. He just never thought he’d screw up this badly.

He found out he had a daughter four months after the Battle of New York. He had gotten the news that an old fling of his had died during the attack. leaving behind a daughter. Feeling bad for the kid, he began to set up a college fund for her, as he knew what it was like to lose someone in a tragic way. At first he thought nothing of it, just simply seeing it as a good deed. But then one night, during one of his restless nights, he began doing the math and figured out that the age of the girl was just about nine months off from when he had...met her mother. Needless to say Pepper was shocked when she woke up to Tony passing out.

After a few minutes of being yelled at by Pepper and another hour of coming to terms with this discovery, Tony made plans to find the girl.

Y/n pov

After explaining your situation with your father to the boy, you realize that you still didn’t know his name. Turning to him you ask for it. 

“Oh, my name is Daniel, Daniel Winston.”  You snort as you realize the irony of this ghost boys name. 

“You mean to tell me that your name is Daniel, and you’re a ghost with white hair??” He glares at you for a second then a small smile creeps on his face, “Well, despite the circumstances, it is kinda funny.”  You hum in agreement and let a comfortable silence take over as you try and figure out where you are and if you’re even in New York.

“Hey Danny?” You ask, “Where are you from?”  

“Bludhaven, I was walking home from school when I was taken. Why do you ask?” 

“Because” You reply,” I was taken from New York.” A heavy silence falls over you both as you realize that you’re both unfamiliar with your surroundings. There weren’t any markings to indicate where you were. The base was nestled in a corner of abandoned buildings that looked like factories. The sky was dark and you couldn’t see any stars. There was a strange scent in the air that you chalked up to air pollution. You both continue walking when you see a building with its lights on. 

“Danny, that’s the only building so far that has any lights, we should go check it out.” He looked hesitant, and he wasn’t wrong to be. The building was an old shoe factory, it was dark and looked as if a sneeze could take the whole thing down. Whoever was in there probably wasn’t good company.

“ Are you sure you want to go in there?’ Danny's voice full of doubt, “Maybe we should keep going till we actually get into town.” While his idea was the more logical one, you were starting to get tired, blowing up a building with freaky ghost powers takes a lot out a a young girl.

“I think we should go, I need to rest up and we don’t know how far the town will be. We don’t even know what town this is.” And with that, you start to make your way to the building, a hesitant ghost trailing behind you.

Tony's POV

Tony realizes locking himself up in his lab really isn’t going to help find his missing daughter. He just can’t believe he screwed up this badly. His own child, thought she wasn’t loved. He did that to her. A rage filled his body as he angrily swept everything off his work table. The clatter of wrenches and pens filled his ears as he stared at the wall.

The sound of the door opening caught his attention. He turned to see Steve Rogers walking in with a box of chinese food and a stern face. Quietly, the blond man took a look at the state of the lab, shook his head and placed the food on the table.

“We picked straws to decide which one of us had to come convince you to come out.” Steve said breaking the silence between the two men. Tony said nothing as he continued to look at the wall.

“You know, you have some nerve to lock yourself away.” Tony jerked his head over and stared at the man . “ What did you just say?” 

“You damn well heard what I said.’ Steve shot back. “ Your daughter is missing. She disappeared into thin air. And you’re in here doing what? Throwing your tools around?” 

“Are you going to lecture me?” Tony said in a bored voice.” Because of you are, i want to take notes” 

“You know this is your problem. You don’t care.” Steve said angrily. “ You don’t care that your daughter is missing. You don’t care that for eight years, the longest conversation you’ve had with her was when you were introducing her to this team.” Steve stood up from the table and walked back to the door before Tony could say anything. “It’s been a week Tony. She’s been missing for a week.  We need to find her.” He walked out without another word.

And again, Tony was alone. Alone with his thoughts, and alone with his regrets. Then he realizes, if he wants a chance to make up all those years, he’s going to need to find you first.  

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Y/n POV:

Getting into the factory wasn’t too hard, considering you can just walk through walls now. The real hard part finding someone to help, as there was no one in the building. In fact, the only living thing in the factory was the surprising amount of vines and greenery over taking the space. 

“hey, Y/n.. maybe we shouldn’t be here...” Danny whispered, ‘” this place is creeping me out.” 

“D, you don’t have to whisper, I’m the only one who can hear you.”

 You answer as you look around, the room you were in seemed like an office of some sort. Then you noticed something.

“Danny, those vines...they lead out of the room” 

And with that you start walking towards the door, but before you can make it you hear loud voices, two women from what you can tell. 

“....mmy you can’t keep doing this to yourself....”

“i....never let her go with him....”

You can’t hear what they’re saying, you take a step forward and accidently step on a vine. 

“wait...there's someone here.” 

Oh shit. You look at Danny in surprise as there was no way these people would have known you were here.

Then suddenly, the room of plants came to life. Vines started thrashing around, searching for the intruder. 

“WHAT THE FUCK” Danny yelled as a vine goes through is body. “Y/N lets get out of here!” In your panic, you forget you can literally turn into a ghost, so you look for a window to get out of. Before you can climb, a vine suddenly wraps around your leg and pulls you out of the room.

“Y/N!!” 

You thrash as you are pulled down the hallway, around corners, and painfully down stairs. You scratch at the floor, desperate to find something to cut the vines.  Then your eyes start glowing. Your skin melting to a pale blue. You blast through the plant as you start floating upwards. You shoot the plants around you with a blue mist like energy.

“What is that?” “Aye whatta you doing here?”  Wait. You know that voice.

Looking up, you get distracted and a vine wraps around your body, restricting your movement. You struggle for a while till you hear it. 

“Y/N?” You stop and look up. You change back to your normal appearance, shocked.

“Aunt Pam?!”

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

TONY’S POV

After Steves not lecture, Tony got to work. He had FRIDAY look for anything suspicious in and near New York. By doing that, he found out that there has been an influx of missing people ranging from ages twenty to fifteen. They were going missing from three specific cities: Bludhaven, Gotham, and...New York. Seeing this had Tony's heart sink. He ran into the conference room where the rest of the team was conducting their own investigation. But before he entered, he stopped to listen to the teams conversation.

“How can she just...disappear into thin air..” Sam said in a sad voice. The rest of the team sat in silence. 

“Maybe we missed something. There has to be something there.” Natasha said with a desperation no on has heard from her. “It’s been a week Steve, she wouldn’t just leave like that.” And that when Tony decided to make his presence known.

“Maybe she didn’t” He said making everyone jump, “There has been an increase in missing person cases in the cities of Gotham, Bludhaven, and New York. All around the same age as Y/N.”

“So,you’ve decided to step up” Clint said sarcastically. “Where have you been this past week Stark?”

“ Look I know I haven’t been the best parent” Tony said.

“that’s an understatement”, grumbled Clint.

“I love my daughter. I hate the thought of her not knowing that.” Tony finished looking around the room to see the disapproval of the team.

“Fighting isn’t going to find her.” Wanda said quietly. “We need to work together.”

“Wandas right.” Steve said, “FRIDAY ,can you find any abnormal activity in any of the cities?”

“I did a widespread search specifically in the Gotham bludhaven and New York areas. A building in the indrustrial area in Gotham spontaneously collapsed. When authorities searched through the rubble, they found bodies of thirty out of the ninety reported missing people.”

“Was there anyone matching Y/N description,” asked Natasha anxiously.

“FRIDAY bring up the missing kids files”

A long minute went by, and all the files uploaded. The Avengers were all on edge as they flipped through the thirty files. They were relieved when they realized that Y/n was not part of those thirty kids.

Network challenges loom large for telecom’s ‘4G on steroids’

Cellphone towers disguised as pine trees, palm trees or cacti aren’t fooling many as they jut out of the natural landscape. Just google the Rogers Communications Inc. “tree” that towers over Sudbury, Ont., or the BCE Inc. ones in Muskoka, Ont.

Of course, wireless companies have for years dressed up existing steel poles in an attempt to appease cottage, beach or desert dwellers who’d rather not see the infrastructure needed to power their mobile devices.

But telecoms will need new camouflage tactics as they prepare for the 5G network evolution that will enable real-time applications such as self-driving cars and smart cities. On top of the approximately 33,000 towers already dotting the Canadian landscape, 5G networks will require a few hundred thousand small cells equipped with radio equipment and antenna.

Relationship woes: Canadian cities don't want to split costs with telecoms for data

How one company plumbed an ultra-fast internet route across the bottom of Lake Ontario

Variously described as the size of pizza boxes, briefcases or laptops, approximately 273,000 small cells will be embedded into Canadian cityscapes over the next five to seven years, Accenture PLC estimates. You’ll find these cells every few city blocks on lampposts, buildings, newspaper boxes and bus stops, as well as in every office building because 5G operates at higher frequencies that can’t easily penetrate walls or buildings.

Yet there’s tension between the telecoms that want to build their networks as quickly as possible and the municipalities that want to know exactly what goes where and how it might affect their properties. There’s also a debate over how much the telecoms will pay for the right to latch their equipment onto existing infrastructure.

Municipalities have some say where telecom equipment goes under federal tower siting rules that require consultation for any tower taller than 15 metres. But, ultimately, the federal government has jurisdiction over everything to do with telecommunications, and it might change the rules to speed things up given the importance of 5G, which is expected to create a host of yet-to-be-dreamed-up industries, much like 4G enabled app economy players such as Uber Technologies Inc. and Airbnb Inc.

As part of the Government of Canada’s review of the broadcast, telecom and radiocommunication acts, it is consulting with the public on whether its procedures are “5G ready.” It has already acknowledged that shared responsibility over passive infrastructure presents challenges for efficient deployment.

  A 5G cell in a U.S. city. Installing such a network is underway in the U.S. where its equivalent of the CRTC — the Federal Communications Commission — has ruled that municipalities have 60 days to approve or deny proposals to attach a small cell to an existing structure. The order also limits the fees municipalities can charge, although it gives them leeway for “reasonable aesthetic reviews.”

“Inefficient access can dramatically increase the cost of deployment or prevent it altogether,” Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) stated in its terms of reference for the legislative reform.

“Given the importance of passive infrastructure for network deployment and the expected growth of 5G wireless, are the right provisions in place for governance of these assets?”

While Canada asks questions, the U.S. has already changed its rules to constrain a city’s control over small cells on their streets.

The Federal Communications Commission last month passed an order that puts a shot clock on small cell deployment, giving municipalities 60 days to approve or deny proposals to attach a small cell to an existing structure. The order also limits the fees municipalities can charge, although it gives them leeway for “reasonable aesthetic reviews.”

Telecoms praised the change, but some municipalities are livid. The U.S. Conference of Mayors called the order a “wrongful intrusion” and a “gift” to private enterprise, and vowed to take its beef to court.

Asked if Canada would consider similar rules, an ISED spokesperson said it’s “closely monitoring the developments in other countries, including the United States, regarding the management of siting next-generation 5G small cells.”

Canada’s consultation phase runs until November, but the expert review panel isn’t expected to deliver its final report until January 2020, though telecoms and cities alike acknowledge the need for upgraded regulations when it comes to 5G infrastructure.

Telecoms have already started deploying small cells that can be upgraded to 5G and are testing the new technology in various labs and environments across the country. For now, the small cells improve 4G LTE network connections. Telecoms don’t divulge how much they each cost.

As it stands, telecoms must come to separate deployment agreements with individual cities, typically broad agreements that include fibre deployment. Those agreements just cover public property. For private property, such as office buildings where 5G networks may require two or three small cells per floor, telecoms have to strike deals with each landlord.

Getting everyone on board involves knocking on a lot of doors. But Rogers has figured out a way to test 5G in a real environment with fewer complications.

It inked a three-year, multi-million-dollar partnership with the University of British Columbia to build a 5G hub at its Vancouver campus on the tip of a peninsula that hosts 56,000 students and 15,000 faculty and staff.

“The idea is that this becomes an actual live production,” Jorge Fernandes, Rogers Communications’ chief technology officer, said. “It’s not just a lab environment.

Critically, UBC isn’t technically part of the City of Vancouver or the University Endowment Lands.

“They have complete planning authority over this ‘city,’” Fernandes said. “If you think about it from our perspective, it’s the ideal location to test real-world applications in an environment where you can get the technology deployed very, very quickly.”

In this case, Rogers and UBC have the ability to put small cells wherever they like for their research (they’ll share the intellectual property).

They plan to study radio propagation — small cells behave differently than macro cells, so they’ll analyze how radio waves behave and how simple things such as foliage affect network quality — 5G applications such as traffic or energy management, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze smart city data.

Still, selling 5G can be tough. Most cities want the latest networks as a way to attract residents and businesses, but 5G’s benefits remain a bit of a mystery.

“It’s not something you can buy out of a box right now,” Fernandes said.

It will take 12 to 18 months for the first iteration of 5G, which Fernandes described as “4G on steroids.” But it’s the second release — date to be determined — that will have the real-time capabilities that would really help cities do things such as manage traffic or even check when a garbage can fills up.

The sales pitch comes down to exploring such possibilities and others. Telecoms hope municipalities will see it as an exchange where municipalities give access to infrastructure in return for smart city applications that will ultimately reduce their costs, Fernandes said.

Despite the benefits, there has been pushback, usually related to infrastructure placement, but sometimes related to health concerns.

“People want to have the service, they want to have the coverage, but they don’t want to see where it’s coming from,” Fernandes said.

It inked a three-year, multi-million-dollar partnership with the University of British Columbia to build a 5G hub at its Vancouver campus.

Gord McGuire, the City of Hamilton’s director of engineering services, is one of the people receiving these sales pitches.

“Most cities are pretty open to have advanced telecommunications infrastructure,” he said. “It’s a huge benefit, it’s a big attraction for business and residents.”

But the evolution from copper wires to cells changes the way cities have to look at rights-of-way, the areas below, on or above city streets and sidewalks. Wireless communications all end up in a wire somewhere, McGuire said, and rights-of-way are already loaded with infrastructure. Plus the city has to ensure equipment isn’t placed where there’s upcoming development or roadwork.

As density grows and telecoms build out their networks, Hamilton is getting ever more permit requests, he said. But telecoms are reluctant to share long-term plans for competitive reasons, making it difficult for the city to respond with staffing.

“Without us fully understanding the program more than six months to a year out, it’s difficult for us to react really quickly,” he said. “It would be helpful if telecoms had a game plan.”

Other common questions dwell on the practical. With so many cells, how much of a risk is vandalism? (Not much, given they’ll be adhered to poles and blend in, Rogers said.) Does the network collapse if a car knocks over a street lamp? (No, the traffic would be picked up by adjacent cells.)

Then there’s the question of who pays for determining the best sites and maintaining them.

Earlier this year, Hamilton, the City of Calgary and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities filed a joint application with the telecom regulator in a dispute between Hamilton and Bell. The cities argued that taxpayers shouldn’t have to split the bill with Bell to find location information for underground facilities.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in August issued a decision siding with Bell.

Calgary is also in the middle of a court battle with Rogers, Bell, Shaw Communications Inc., Telus Corp. and Zayo Canada Inc. over its municipal rights-of-way bylaw.

Bruce Cullen, Calgary’s director of corporate analytics and innovation, won’t comment on a case before the courts, but he echoed the importance of revamping procedures for small cells, which may be placed every 300 metres in dense urban areas.

“It’s a lot of infrastructure if you think about it, if all are connected to power or some sort of fibre backhaul,” he said. “The processes we currently have aren’t going to work.”

As the federal government reviews its rules, Calgary plans to advocate on behalf of its citizens to ensure there are no safety issues or unnecessary tax burdens. The city is redesigning its internal processes so the people who work on streetlights, roads and above-ground facilities have input inTO where the small cells go.

Calgary has time to plan, Cullen said, given the industry still needs to set final standards and the government must auction off more spectrum before 5G becomes a reality. The city is also preparing for a 5G world with its own “living lab,” where it’s working with the University of Calgary on smart city applications.

Cities and telecoms recognize 5G isn’t just about faster speeds. Rather, it’s a whole new network. Right now, Canada is building it piecemeal.

For instance, Telus has successfully reached separate commercial arrangements with cities, building owners and provinces, though it would prefer a more cohesive approach, said Ted Woodhead, Telus’ senior vice-president of regulatory affairs.

Its tech team would “giddy up” on capital investment if there were clearer rules in place to distinguish jurisdiction, he said. Court battles that arise because of disagreements over whether a municipality or the federal government has final say, “it goes without saying, inject a great deal of delay in the process,” he added.

Woodhead lauded the FCC’s order to speed up deployment in the U.S., particularly since it limits how much cities can charge telecoms on an ongoing basis to lease space on city property.

“This isn’t about macro towers, it’s about small cells,” he said “We need 2018, 2019, 2020 rules to deal with this change in reality.”

In a telecom’s current best-case scenario, it takes about a year to get a 30 to 75-metre tall macro tower built and lit up, he said.

“We can’t be doing that times 100,000 or 200,000 or 300,000,” Woodhead said. “Canada will be so far behind the 5G curve. I don’t think that’s in the public interest, I don’t think that’s in the government’s interest. I don’t think, ultimately and most importantly, it’s in Canadians’ interest.”
