BUZZ.. BUZZ.. BUZZ..
"Jarvis.." A sleepy Tony groaned rolling over.
"I'm sorry sir, but this is urgent!" Jarvis replied letting the phone ring.
"Its.." Tony rolled on his side to see his clock "..its half three in the morning. Who would be calling and why is it so important?" Tony yawned.
"I'm afraid you would need to answer the phone to find out!" Jarvis said. Tony moaned and picked up the phone.
"Mister Stark!" A mans voice greeted him.
"Uh hello?" Tony yawned.
"I'm afraid I have some terrible news!" The man said.
"..okay hold on.." Tony sat up in bed ".. First off who is this?"
"I'm Professor Charles Francis Xavier." He said.
Tony's blinked " and why are you phoning me?"
The professor sighed "9 months ago you held a summer party, correct?"
"Correct!" Tony said straight away.
"During which you slept with one of my house mates... Her name was Ella. Ella Lewis."
"Look Professor charlie.. Or whatever I'm still half a sleep so just cut to the point. I wish to go back to sleep." Tony snapped.
"Ella died 2 hours ago.. During child labour." The professor sighed.
Tony sat for a minute thinking "so why are you telling..." Then it hit him. The party was nine months ago, he slept with Ella and now she had given birth.
"Is It mine?" Tony asked quietly.
"I'm afraid so... Ella died during child birth so.. Well we have two options."
"Options? What do you mean?" Tony asked rubbing his eyes.
"Well no we have only one option. The child is staying with us. You may visit the child while you come to sign some papers." The professor said bluntly.
"..w..wait. Do I not get to keep it?" Tony asked in complete shock.
"Of course not. You can come visit her this once and then you can never see her again!"
"Its a girl!?" Tony asked.
"Yes, a rather beautiful one in fact." The professor confirmed.
"Okay I'll be there in a hour!" Tony said hanging up and jumping out of bed.

As soon as Tony had arrived at the house as the professor called it he barged straight in.
"Where is she?" He asked the first person he saw.
"Mister Stark!" Called out the same voice for the phone. Tony turned on his heel to face him.
"Where is she professor?" He snarled.
"Right this way mister Stark." The professor gestured for him to follow.
As they walked down the hall Tony could feel eyes glaring at him. Burning holes right through his head.
"Please excuse my other house mates. Ella was very loved around here. She was like the mother hen. And now she's gone and we have her child."
"What do you plan on doing with her child? My child!" Tony asked.
"We plan on raising her like everyone else here was!" The professor smiled. " She has a great power Mister Stark. I'm sure you're not a wear of it but you don't have to worry about it either." He trailed off as they entered a small room.
The room had a small bed, a large table and toys, toys for kids. Tony's eyes scanned the room. He was looking for his baby.
"Peppers going to kill me.." He muttered zoning off.
"Mister Stark.." The professors voice brought him back ".. Meet your daughter." He said holding out a tiny infant.
Tony stared down at the baby girl in the professors arms. The first thing he noticed were her baby blue eyes. Those were Stark eyes. Tony carefully reached out and stroked the baby's cheek. She cooed as he did so.
"Now mister Stark can you sign the papers..." Everything went black, his head went fuzzy and then a falling sensation came.

Tony jolted up in bed, sweating and breathing hard. Night mares. Night mares from the past again. Tony remembered getting the phone call. Then going to find his baby. But he also remembers signing a form saying he has no right to be near the child again and other stuff. He couldn't remember everything. it was 20 years ago this happened. The main thing he remembers where the little girls eyes and how soft they were.
A/N: okay so this was set just a few month after the attack on New York. Where Tony's having a night mare from when he had to give up his baby girl. Let me know what you think so I can carry on. :)
