This will play out through Iron Man 2, the Avengers movies and Captain America 2. It's a Black WidowxOC story. My oc is Richard Potts, Tony and Pepper's son. He's just as smart as his father but he chose not to follow the family legacy, and he joined the military. He eventually became a Navy SEAL, excelling in everything, becoming almost as good as Steve Rogers. He soon became known as the Sword. He will get armor as well, but it's more like the Arkham Knight's.

I own only my original character, nothing else.

Happy was just sitting down watching the Expo on tv at his boss, Tony Stark or Iron Man's home, as he was off duty, unaware that there was man at the door, messing around on his phone, making JARVIS not announce his presence.

The man slowly walked towards him, being careful that his footsteps didn't make a single sound. He stood above him and then suddenly yelled and put his hands on Happy's shoulders, which made him jump off the couch.

"Whoa! What the-?!," he yelled and the man just smirked. The man had jet black hair, about three inches taller than Tony, slim body but had very well-defined muscles. He had a small beard growing as well. Seeing him, Happy got a huge grin on his face.

"Hey Richard!," he exclaimed, walking over to give him a hug, which was returned.

"Been a long time, Happy," the man said. "Where's Mom and Dad?"

"Downstairs."

'Shall I tell them that you're here, Mr. Potts?,' JARVIS asked.

"Please don't, I want to surprise them."

'Very well, sir. And Mr. Hogan, I suggest you lie down as your heart rate still has not decreased."

With a chuckle, Richard descended down the stairs while Happy went to go follow JARVIS's advice. He found them how he imagined them to be doing, fighting over something stupid.

"Oh no, no, no! You are not taking down the Barrett Newman and putting that up!," Pepper yelled.

"I'm not taking it down, I'm just replacing it with this," Tony argued, as he put up a poster of Iron Man up.

'Oh, some things never change,' he thought to himself. He had gotten used to them fighting a lot, since they did it often since his father was an ego-maniac and his mother was a worry wort. They had had him when they were very young, but they did their best to raise him, even if they weren't together. But now that they were again, Richard couldn't be happier, he could finally have one big happy family. Richard was then pulled out of his thoughts when they stopped yelling.

"Have you been drinking?," his mom asked as he quietly walked closer to them, telling the robot arms to to make any noise, especially Dummy.

"Chlorophyll," Tony answered, and despite witnessing more disgusting things, Richard still gave an 'ew' face. "I now name you the new CEO of Stark Industries."

This blew both Pepper and Richard away. Tony had given his position in the company to her.

'She's the only right choice,' Richard thought.

"I-I don't know what to think," she said, still processing what just happened.

"Don't think, just take this and enjoy the moment," Tony said calm as ever as he hands her a drink. They then began to sit and enjoy each other's company, still unaware of their son watching them.

"Congrats Mom," Richard said suddenly, startling them both. They turned and saw him and they immediately got up and gave him a hug.

"Richard!," Pepper said as she let go. "When did you get here?"

"Couple minutes ago."

'4.64 minutes to be exact,' JARVIS said.

"JARVIS, why didn't you let us know he was here?," Tony asked.

'Master Richard asked me not to. Wanted to surprise you, although I did try but my systems were interrupted.'

"Helps when you know how to hack into his systems from the front porch," he said, and got a look from his dad.

"Sounds like I'll have to update those systems."

"Probably wouldn't make a difference," Richard said.

"Well, while you two continue your little battle of wits," Pepper said. "I'll get us another bottle." She then walked down into the wine cellar.

"It's good to see you again Dad," Richard said.

"You too, son," he said giving him a fatherly hug.

"Saw your speech on the tv, very nice."

"Oh yeah thanks," Tony said, then he saw his son's face change. "What is it?"

"How long have you been sick?"

"What're you talking about?"

Richard then lifted his father's shirt up and saw black technolike lines spreading across his chest, all around the arc reactor.

"Oh my God," he said and Tony pulled his shirt down.

"Do not tell your mother, I want to wait for the right moment to tell her."

"It's not my place to say."

"How did you know?," he asked as they began to hear Pepper returning.

"I already knew that palladium was toxic to the body after long periods of time, especially the way your using it. I also found records of blood toxicity levels when I backed into JARVIS's systems, that just confirmed it."

Tony gave him an impressed look, then turned to see Pepper returning.

"What were you two talking about?," she asked.

"Something Dad has been meaning to tell you about," Richard said and Tony gave his 24 year old son a 'traitor' glare. He then turned to look at Pepper.

"Uh well... what I was going to tell you is that uh...," he said, trying to think of something else other than the truth.

"Yes?," Pepper said.

"...Is that I have planning a trip to Monaco for us. I wanted to surprise you with it, so thanks for that Richard."

The boy simply gave him an amused look, but then his mother spoke up.

"Oh really?! That actually sounds great! Thank you Tony!," she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I think the day after tomorrow will be perfect. How about I arrange everything, JARVIS, can you help with that?"

'It would be my pleasure, Ms. Potts,' he said through the intercom, and she walked away to do so and then go to bed, and when she was put of hearing range, Richard began sarcastically clapping.

"Bravo, nice job telling her that you're a dead man walking," he teased.

"Shut up," Tony said. "Thanks for playing along with that JARVIS."

'Of course sir. I shall have everything ready by the time we leave.'

"Good, I think it's time we all went to bed. Goodnight, son," Tony said walking upstairs to bed.

"Goodnight, Iron Man," Richard said, he then looked around the workshop and began designing some stuff.

'What are you attempting to build Mr. Potts?,' JARVIS asked.

"Something like my dad's armor," he answered. "But I want it to be more like reinforced body armor, full armor seems to bulky for my taste. I want you to put this stuff into my private files."

'You and Mr. Stark certainly love your secret projects.'

"We have the Stark blood in our veins. Now here's something I'd like to perfect. Back in the military, we had grapnel guns. I'd like to have it attached to my armor and an improved version of the gun. A spare you know? One last thing, improved military dual swords."

'I shall come up with various designs over the night as I schedule a trip to Monaco in two days,' JARVIS said.

"Thanks JARVIS, now I better get to bed as well, as I have will be trying to get in done family time. Especially since how long it's been."

'Very well then, goodnight sir.'

"Goodnight JARVIS."

The Next Morning

Richard awoke early in the morning and began his routine, healthy breakfast, exercises, jogging, etc.. He then showered and put on a dark grey athletically fit t-shirt, black pants tucked into black military boots.

He soon found his dad on what he called 'Happy time.' Basically him practicing boxing with Happy.

"Morning," he said to them.

"Morning, son," Tony said not looking at him, and Happy just waved a 'good morning.' Richard then went downstairs and went to check on the designs. He walked over to the hologram table and turned it on.

"JARVIS you up?," he asked already knowing the answer.

'At your service, Mr. Potts,' he said back. 'I have run and created numerous designs for the items you have requested, all in rough draft form so you may improve upon them with ease. Richard then went through the designs and picked out one of each of the four requested designs, trashing the rest.

"Alright the armor must be light and flexible," he began. "Let's use Kevlar weave with ceramic plates, and have titanium tri-weave underneath for flexibility. A mix of titanium and carbon fiber."

'That should work,' the AI said. "Might I suggest having a visor similar to your father's?'

"Good idea, bring up an Iron Man helmet," he requested and it was done. He began tinkering with it, removing the metal and then adding on a base for the visor and had two eye lights to show where the eyes were. He then moved to the swords.

'Unfortunately, there wasn't much to be done with these weapons,' JARVIS said. 'But I was able to find ways to create vambraces for your armor and fir it to have a grapnel upon it, and your gun is finished.'

"I'll get back on the swords and these designs with the vambraces looks good as does the gun, I want the designs all ready to be built when we return from Monaco. In the meantime there is something I'm try to make first. Something I've been designing in my head for a few years now."

'Sounds like you'll have your hands full, sir. But right now, Ms Potts has requested your presence.'

"Thanks JARVIS," he said beginning to go upstairs. "Let her know I'm on my way."

Then he remembered something and he went back to the console. "Oh and send the designs to this email address. He's an old friend who can help."

'I will immediately sir.'

He soon found her back in the boxing room, but standing next to her was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on. She was a few inches shorter than himself and looked to be about the same age as him. Long red hair, green eyes, but they looked sad to Richard.

'That girl has the look that I know all too well,' he thought to himself. Then his military training kicked in, he began studying her swiftly and quietly. She definitely wasn't whatever she was pretending to be, she is a spy. It was then that his mother spotted him.

"Morning Richard," Pepper greeted, and her son smiled and walked up to her. The other woman looked him down then gave a silent look, as if she had not been expecting him. It was then that Tony had noticed her as well.

"What's your name lady?," he asked.

"Rushman. Natalie Rushman," the woman answered.

'That almost sounds rehearsed,' Richard thought to himself.

"Front and center," he said, gesturing her to enter the ring.

"Certainly still know how to treat a lady, Dad," Richard said, but was ignored by Tony, but Pepper and Happy snickered slightly. Tony began studying her over for about a minute, then got out to talk to Pepper.

"Why don't you show her some moves Happy?," Tony suggested. All the while, Natalie began to realize why Richard was staring at her for. 'He's studying me,' she thought to herself. 'He knows why I'm here.'

Richard stopped watching her, and walked over to her parents. Tony was looking her up, researching her, and looking at her modeling photos.

"Very impressive," Tony commented on what he was learning about her. "The woman is fluent in French, Russian, Latin. Who speaks Latin?"

"No one speaks it, it's a dead language," Pepper said right away.

"Not necessarily," Richard said. "During my time in the military, I met a few people who spoke it fluently. I even picked it up."

"How many languages do you know?," Tony asked, genuinely curious, then Happy lazily threw a punch in Natalie's direction and she grabbed his arm and wrapped her legs around his neck and flipped him over onto his back.

"Oh my God!," Pepper exclaimed. "Happy!"

"I just slipped," he said, obviously an excuse. Tony then went back over to her.

"I need your impression," she said.

"You have a quiet reserve. I don't know, you have an old soul," Tony said.

"She meant your fingerprint," Richard clarified. Once that was done she began to walk away. She turned to look at them again but soon saw that one man was gone. 'How did he disappear like that? I turned my back on him for five seconds,' she thought.

Along the way, Natalie began to get the feeling that she was being followed. She then swiftly spun around, ready for action, but there was no one there. Then she heard the slightest of taps, like boots hitting the floor from the upper floor, and she spun and threw her right leg towards the noise.

But her foot was caught and she saw it was Richard. He spun her in the air and she fell to the ground. She quickly recovered and then was about to throw some fancy moves, but wasthen stopped when he forced her to the floor and held a sword to her throat.

"You're SHIELD I'm guessing?," he asked, she hesitated but then gave the slightest of nods. "Okay then. Now I don't care why you're spying on my dad, as long as you're not here to hurt him."

"You don't have to worry then," she said. "I'm not going to hurt him or your mother."

"Excellent," he said then pulling the sword away and sheathing it, and then offered his hand. She slowly took it.

"How did you do that?," she asked.

"I was a Navy SEAL," he simply answered.

"That explains a lot then."

"Don't worry beautiful, you and I are gonna get along just fine," he said then walking away.

'I certainly hope so, handsome,' she thought to herself. 'Wait, what am I thinking? I have to focus on my mission, there can't be any distractions. I've already been compromised, but he does seem trustworthy. Perhaps I should evaluate him as well.'

There's the first chapter, next one will have Monaco and then I'll probably have Richard meet with Fury and then have him help Romanoff at Hammer Industries. Hope you like it. I'll try to have another done soon, but I'm working on a lot of stories at once and schools coming up. I'll try, until then see ya.
