:; Disclaimer I own nothing all belong to Marvel. Accept for the characters out of my imagination:)
Just a warning this is my first try at a Fanfic, my brother and I made a bet if he published a story before the end of 2013, I would before the end of January 2014 and guess who won?
So this is my first story and it will probably have bad punctuation and grammar so forgive me and without further adieu
Chapter I
Genius, billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, Tony Stark Paused on his way out the door of the orphanage, looking in to the back yard where kids were playing. Some in the wood jungle gym others on the matching wood swing set while still others ran around with a ball, but that's not what made him pause.
What had caught his eye was the boy sitting on the steps leading out side with pad and pencil writing fast covering sheet after sheet of paper in what ever he was writing adding to the pile of books at his side.
Curiosity got the better of him and moving closer peeking over the kids shoulder, but staying in the shadows of the door way. It took him a moment realize what he was seeing the kid was writing out computer code a fast as...well as fast as tony himself could type.
Tony didn't know how long how he stood there watching the boy, when a group of older kids surrounded the boy and started jeering at him and making fun of him the gang of kids didn't see him because he was half hidden in the doorway.
The kid ignored the bully's and the leader of the group, a big burly kid a little over weight very "meaty" Tony decided to call the kid. Tore the pad away from the kid and laughed at the code before tossing it at his gang as the kid stood protesting but "meaty" just shoved him laughing with his gang when the kid ended up sprawled on the ground.
Tony had enough the bully's brought back bad memories from when he was a kid and how they picked on him, shaking the memories Tony came forward the bully's seeing him froze for a beat before bolting tossing the kids book as they ran.
The book landed at Tony's feet kneeling he picked it up before going over and offer a hand to the kid helping him to his feet.
now that he was in front of him tony got a good look at the kid he was short but tony guessed he was 12 to 13 with curly black hair making it unruly at best bight Grey eyes and features softened by baby fat making it hard to discern an age for certain. Kneeling he brushed the kid off before picking up the rest of his books and papers and handing them to the kid.
he was dressed in old clothes his green shirt was too big for him and was almost see thorough after too many washes, his jeans fit but were more holes than jeans and the kid was bare foot making tony smile which the boy returned shyly
"Hi my name is Tony what's yours?' Tony asked gently
the boy looked at his feet "Daniel, sir."
Tony smiled and impulsively picked the boy up letting him rest on his hip with eases and made a split decision smiling widely "I would like to give you a home, you have a gift and I like you Daniel. You remind me of me and I would like to Adopt you, can I do that?"
Daniel watched him silently and Tony started to fidget under Daniel's stair "Well you don't have to, it is your choice I could also be a foster home if you would prefer, I mean you don't have to we can do what -"
Tony cut off by Daniel putting a finger over his mouth smiling softly and Tony's eyes lit up and he opened his moth but Daniel cut him off softly "I would like to go with you but can I keep my name?"
Tony lit up "sure come on let's get the paper work filled out I will foster you so I will be your guardian and you can keep your name and live with me."
Daniel smiled and Tony carried him inside.
Finding the head of the orphanages office Tony took over shocking the woman so much when he asked for foster paper work she complied without putting up much of a protest and within the hour Tony had the paper work filled out and was out the door before the woman could even begin to protest.
Looking at Daniel Quinn his new foster son who was still in his arms Tony smiled asking "Do you have anything in your rooms any personal possessions?"
Daniel just shook his head and warped his arms around Tony's neck "OK then let's go first we are going to my decorators so he can get your room done before we go home then we are going to get lunch then we are going shopping and we will pick up pizzas on the way home. Passengers side Happy."
that last he directed at his driver Happy who was gaping at him an Daniel but he snapped to when Tony said his name going around and opening the passenger side of Tony's white 2008 Audi R8 and slid in letting Daniel sit on lap and buckling them in while waiting for Happy to get in behind the wheel
Happy turned to Tony "Where to first Sir?"
Tony warped his arms around Daniels Saying "To Jason's first we need to get a room designed for Daniel here. OH! Happy this is Daniel Quinn he in my new-" Tony paused looking at Daniel "can I call you my Ward for now?"
Daniel nodded and Tony smiled happiness bursting inside"You can pick what you want to call me later?"
Daniel nodded again Tony turned back to Happy, smile still firmly in place "This is me ward Daniel I am his new Foster. . .Home, Daniel this is my bodyguard and friends Happy."
Happy glances at Daniel and smiles at him "Nice to meet 'cha Kid just call me Happy no Sirs here, I work for living."
Tony watched as Daniel smiled slightly hugging his note books close smiling as Happy chatted about nothing at all keeping Daniel occupied.
Daniel was a comfort for Tony he didn't know why but as he hugged Daniel to his chest Tony sat back gazing out the window watching the world pass he felt for the first time in a longest time truly happy and not willing to give that up for any thing.
