Iron Man, Spider-Man and Avengers does not belong to me, everything belongs to that adorable and handsome old man, Stan Lee
Prologue
10 years before Iron Man…
Antoniette Edelyn Stark is one of the brightest minds in the world, if not the brightest, nobody could deny it, but she could not help thinking that for the first time in her life her brilliant mind had failed her (and no, that time it started as a night of bets in Las Vegas and ended as an exotic dancer on a Mexican boulevard does not count).
There she was, sitting on the gleaming porcelain of her private bath, staring stupidly at the absurd positive symbol of five pregnancy tests Potts gave her, taunting her.
"Miss Stark? Are you okay?" I hear Potts through the door, the girl was good, she was the assistant that lasted longer, and his performance would surely last a long time, she hoped, not every day someone had the courage to face to her and tell her that she was wrong, she definitely had a future.
"I'm fine, Potts, I'm fine ..." She was definitely not fine, but she could not sit here stupidly, had much to plan, and a future father to call.
"That's what I doubt, Miss Stark," Potts said as she opened the door, took a look at the pregnancy tests and then took five and threw them in the trash, approaching Toni, picked her up and helped her get to his bed.
"I'll go for tea, wait here please, Jarvis if you do not mind ..."
"It was a pleasure Miss Potts, the machine is prepared mint tea with honey that you use to calm down after one of my mistresses mischief" a cybernetic voice was heard throughout the room. Potts just smiled ironically, she knew how often this happened.
"That two please Jarvis" ordered as she went to the door.
"As you like Miss Potts"
Toni did not pay attention to them, she was immense in her daze, remembering the night that resulted in this little problem.
Contrary to popular knowledge about her, she does not spend her time sleeping with any man who crosses her, if she was seen with lots of beautiful men, but those were just ornaments, mere dolls she used to show in events. She was not interested in the outward appearance of men, but society did not think the same, for her, as long as she had the brain to have an intellectual conversation with her, she was a good candidate, so far in her 22 years of life alone. A few who can count on one hand have achieved this and kept their numbers in case they needed some company.
I was at a charity party where the world's brightest scientific minds met, and Richard Parker, being the scientific head and right hand of that disgusting human named Norman Osborn would surely be there, of course it all started as an accident, not even crazy she would voluntarily get involved with someone from Osborn, but like all her (few) adventures, she started with a talk and a drink, followed by a great scientific talk and then mentioned her name, she was a little surprised that Osborn had someone decent, but she did not care anymore if it was Osborn's or not, the guy had already excited her with the talk and she was drunk enough not to think about it anymore, and he was not much better than her, so as they say, what the rest is history.
"Here I bring your tea Miss Stark" Potts appeared through the door leaving the tea on your bedside table, Toni came out of her daze just to let out a sigh.
"Don't call me that, Potts, you know I hate formalities, just call me Toni, you earned it- I sounded tired, and I was-just leave me alone please ..."
"It's fine Mi-I mean, it's fine Toni, if I call you that, then you can also call me Pepper, have a good night, and try to rest a bit" she commented while retreating, leaving Toni alone in her room, Jarvis, feeling the mood of his mistress little by little dim the lights of the room until leaving it in complete darkness.
"I promise nothing," she said to the darkness as he curled up on himself and gently rubbed his flat belly.
"Well kid, at least your sperm donor has good DNA, I would definitely hate you if you went out an idiot like Hammer, although having me as a mother, I doubt it very much and I also doubt that drunk or I would not sleep with someone like Hammer, the most likely is that I ended up hitting him with my black mixed martial arts belt" and that's how he stayed, rubbing her belly and ranting about human stupidity until he fell asleep, tomorrow machinery the hoaxes he had planned to solve this problem.
Richard Parker had a quiet life, a nice wife, a good job and a good life, or so he thought, all that was missing was a son, he and Mary had tried countless times but nothing had happened, he had felt very frustrated, he loved his wife, but all this process was very tiresome, so much so that he had decided to be social for once in his life and go to a charity party on behalf of Oscorp, which to his strange wife, imagine his surprise at to meet Antoniette Stark and have a decent conversation with her, by the time he told his name, which she surely knew, both were drunk enough not to know what they were doing.
Meeting the next morning in a five-star hotel room where the party was held next to nothing more and nothing less than Toni Stark. He did not expect that, no, definitely not.
He felt horrible, and could not look Mary in the face for a week, until she took it and forced him to tell everything, he felt even worse seeing the betrayed face of Mary bursting into tears, did not speak to him for 5 days Whole, and he did not bother her either, he was grateful that he did not leave or ask for a divorce.
After the sixth day Mary's cold face had thawed a little, and I even gave her a few words, by the end of the week they could talk decently, and it was not until the following week that Mary touched the subject.
"Did you enjoy it?" She began during dinner. They ate meat and potatoes, and had to work hard not to drown after the sudden question.
"Excuse me?" He asked confused and half-drowned with his dinner.
"Did you enjoy sleeping with Toni Stark?" I ask again, looking even more anxious. Richard's brain did not catch the question very well (it's nice that he had managed to swallow a moment ago if he was not already dead) so just gawking was his answer.
"so?! Did you enjoy it or not ?!" She finally exclaimed from Richard's stupid expression.
"What?! Do not! Of course not! I do not even remember, I was drunk!" apparently his brain finished processing the question and finally he was able to respond decently.
"Yeah right! You would be the first man in the world to forget to sleep with Toni Stark!" Sarcasm dripped everywhere, while his hands and head moved in synchronicity.
"I really do not remember it! Further! What is your problem?! Why is this the first thing you ask?" Still unable to believe that this really happened to him.
"Please! Did you really think I would not want to know if my husband liked sleeping with that damn Stark bitch?! Be realistic, Richard! If I slept with Leonardo Di Caprio would not you like to know if I liked it or not? Would not you be curious if someone else is better in bed with your wife?!" Already totally upset, Mary was not making much sense, but the last question gave Richard that to think, so a silence fell over the table as there was no response from him.
"... You're right ..." commented absently Richard.
"You know I always have it" Mary answered proudly.
Another silence settled on the table, this time quite uncomfortable, both looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds, expressing their mutual adoration in a crossroads of glances, all continued for a few more seconds until they both broke into laughter, due to the ridiculous in your situation.
They finished the dinner in laughter and making ridiculous jokes followed by consolation sex, the subject was not touched again and Richard knew at that moment that he had been forgiven, yes, life was good, he had a wonderful wife, a nice house, a good job and a nice little family, children could still be missing, but he had decided not to hurry, everything would come in his time, he told himself, and yes, life had never felt calmer... .
