Tony slept in Naruto's arms on the flight back home. Across the isle from them, Rhodey slept in his seat as well. It was strange how he was still wide awake after today, but he was fine with it. All he cared about was that Tony was safe and that they were heading back home. Naruto leaned back into his seat and thought back about what had happened earlier. One of the first things he had to deal with was removing the shrapnel from Tony's chest. She had resisted the idea on him healing up the hole in her chest where her Arc reactor was.

In her words, "It's a souvenir! And it draws eyes to my boobs!" Naruto slightly chuckled at remembering this. When Naruto closed his eyes, he dreamed about Sasuke's death and the objects containing gems. He woke up when Tony began to shake his shoulders.

"I'm up. I'm up!" Naruto groaned as he opened his eyes. He turned and looked into the dark brown eyes of Tony. Her lips quirked into a smile as Naruto scratched the back of his head. "You are usually the last one to wake up in the morning." Naruto stated.

"We usually performed a tango in bed the night before." Tony replied. Naruto leaned his head into Tony's chest and sighed.

"I missed you, y'know." Naruto stated. Tony put her arms around Naruto's shoulders and rested her chin upon Naruto's head.

"It was only a week."

"You were kidnapped."

"I escaped."

"And I caught you in the air." Naruto whispered back. Tony leaned Naruto's head back and stared at his eyes.

"Well I'm back, and I think that what I will really need is some time to deal with everything that happened. Namely with you. In bed." Tony replied.

A cough sounded behind both of them which made the couple to turn face Rhodey. "Should I find you another plane to fly on, because you two are acting like horny rabbits," Rhodey stared at Tony, "mainly you." Tony rolled her eyes at her friend's opinion.

"Get married first and then we'll talk. Now, when is this plane going to land?" Tony asked as she began stretching the cramps out of her body. Sleeping on a carrier plane was not the most ideal ride. It was made better with Naruto sleeping next to her and acting as her pillow, but that still didn't completely help.

"We'll probably be landing in an hour." Rhodey replied before he tossed a bag at Tony which she quickly caught and opened. It was a set of clothes that she could wear. She began with pulling the blouse out and making Rhodey turn around which he did quickly. Tony took the tank top off revealing her bare breasts and the Arc reactor between them. She then buttoned the blouse up which covered her nudity but did not hide the glow of the Arc reactor under it.

Tony then pulled out the next article of clothing and blanched. She looked at Rhodey's back with a glare. "I hate skirts, Rhodey, you know I do!" Tony said with annoyance. Rhodey chuckled at this.

"Consider it payback for the things you've done to me over the years." Tony rolled her eyes and removed her pants, revealing to Naruto that she wasn't wearing any underwear. Tony eventually slipped the skirt on and searched through the bag and found a pair of black leather heels.

"Rhodey, I will manage to find a way to make you pay when we get back." Tony stated.

"I'm not going to be staying in Malibu when we return. I'll be on another flight out to D.C." Rhodey replied. "And from your tone, I'll assume that I can turn around now." Rhodey did so and chuckled. Tony folded her arms over her chest.

"How long till we land, and do we have any food on this flight or is this part of an interrogation technique that you pull on all the rich billionaires?" Tony asked as she sat down once again.

"I'm sorry Tony, but this flight doesn't serve peanuts. Maybe you should have gotten another military aircraft to give you a lift. And didn't Naruto give you food last night, even though I have no idea on how he did that." Rhodey looked at Naruto as he said this.

"I have deep pockets." Was Naruto's only reply.

"You sure do, slugger. Now, do you really have nothing to eat? Fruits, bugs, the probable rats that managed to sneak aboard?" Rhodey shook his head which made Tony sigh. "Worst rescue flight, ever."

"Just calm down, Tony. We'll get there soon, and then we can spend some time together. Well, after both of us hang out with Alex. He really missed you." Naruto said.

"Oh, well I'll just have to build a car with him. Maybe I should teach him how to build an A.I." Tony mused to herself.

"Not before I teach him a few of my moves." Naruto said proudly. He felt Tony put her arms around his shoulders before she leaned to his ear and began to whisper. "Never mind. You can teach him whatever you want first." Naruto corrected himself. Rhodey looked at him while trying to contain laughter. He even gave Naruto a whipping motion which Naruto had to admit was quite a correct summary of his marriage at times, even if he didn't want to admit it.

"So, Rhodey, any plans?" Tony asked.

"If you consider working, plans? Then yes." Rhodey replied.

"Naruto, plans? We could take a break, just you and me this week." Tony asked Naruto.

"I have work."

"And I own where you work." Naruto sighed at Tony. She pretty much had the easiest job that anyone could ask for. All she did was wake up, build something, get nagged by Pepper, drive in her car, build something, show up at her work or presentation to look pretty, and sex. Really, anyone would want that job.

"We'll talk about it when we get back home." Naruto stated with a finality in his voice.

"Now that's just boring. I thought that people at your age would be in a midlife crisis." Tony replied.

"I'm only two years older than you." Naruto mumbled. He felt Tony smack his ass which made him slightly jump.

"And you're looking good for a forty-year-old." Tony remarked.

"You're not going to let this go, are you?" Naruto asked. Tony didn't answer and instead walked over to her seat where she sat down with her legs crossed. "I feel like I should be scared when we get home."

"More like excited. But if you want to act scared then I could work with that. But Naruto, on a more serious note,"

"Not that it's been that serious since we began talking."

"Definitely not. Anyway, we need to speak privately when we land." Tony said.

"If that's what you wish, then sure." Naruto walked over to where Tony was and sat next to her. Rhodey stood up and walked up to the cockpit of the plane. "So what's the first thing that you're going to do when we get back?" Naruto asked.

"The first thing I'll do is get a good old all American cheeseburger. Then the rest will come along after I eat." Tony leaned her back against the side of the plane which exposed the glow of the Arc reactor once more to Naruto. Tony noticed this and smirked. "Eyes us here."

"Do you want me to hide that glow?" Naruto asked. Tony thought about this. On one hand it would drag people's attention to her chest, on the other, all the reporters and other people would start asking questions which she just really didn't feel like answering.

"Do it." Tony replied. Naruto nodded and put two fingers up which caused a cloud of smoke to burst on Tony's chest before dispersing to reveal that the glow had disappeared. "I will never understand how you can defy the laws of physics like that."

"One word: chakra."


At the landing strip, both Pepper and Alex watched as the plane carrying the two members of the Stark family landed. Alex had managed to get out of school early due to Pepper's machinations. The plane eventually stopped and the back door slowly lowered down. Pepper wiped the tears from her eyes while Alex was filled with excitement. With his excitement, Alex was having a slightly difficult time controlling his chakra. Mainly it would manifest in static cling that Pepper felt when she touched him.

Slowly the back of the plane began to lower down and finally hit the tarmac. Out from the back, Naruto and Tony walked down the lowered platform and onto the tarmac where they walked towards Pepper and Alex. Tony waved with a smiled on her face as they walked over to them. Alex couldn't take the wait anymore and instead ran towards his mother who he hugged.

"Mom, you're back!" Alex shouted. Tony looked down at her son and hugged him back.

"It takes a lot more to get rid of me." Tony replied before crouching down to her son's eye level. "Were you a good boy for Pepper? Brush your teeth, wash your face, didn't blow up your school's science lab? Alex shook his head.

"Good boy." Tony kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair which made the boy blush in embarrassment. Tony stood up and walked over to Pepper. "Peps! It's so good to actually be near another woman after all this time!" Tony said as she gave her assistant a hug. When it was returned, they separated and Tony noticed Pepper's slightly disheveled appearance. "Did you cry for me?"

"No, just happy that I don't have to go job searching."

"Well Pep, vacation's over." Tony said, "Now let's get out of here. Is Happy driving?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Good, Happy's driving. That means happy driving. Let's go!" Tony shouted. The group of four quickly walked out of the airport together and towards the black limo that Happy was driving. The each got in and when they finally did. Happy spoke.

"Where to, ma'am?" He asked.

"Take us to the hospital." Pepper responded immediately. Tony with a small delay of a millisecond also responded.

"No." She said. Pepper turned to look at Tony as if she was crazy. Not that it was very hard for Pepper to think that about her boss on most average days. But today, after being kidnapped?

"No Tony, you have to go to the hospital."

"I have already healed. I am perfectly fine." Tony replied. It was true. When both she and Naruto had been waiting for Rhodey to arrive, Naruto decided to heal up all of her wounds beforehand so that Rhodey wouldn't find it immediately strange that Tony had healed up so quickly after.

"But-" Pepper began.

"Nothing. Now first, we are getting lunch. And by lunch, I mean a cheeseburger. Then afterwards I want to call for a press conference." Tony replied. This confused both Pepper and Alex as Pepper thought that they would go to the hospital while Alex thought that they would be going home immediately.

Naruto was the only one who was not surprised at what Tony did. He had been married to her for one and a half decades. Nothing could really surprise him now. Pepper had only one thought going through her head when she heard this. "What for?" She asked.

"Hogan, drive! Cheeseburger first. Talk later." Happy nodded and started the car. As they drove; Tony began to look out the window as if everything was something new. "So Happy, anything new?" Tony asked the security guard who by now was extremely redundant what with Naruto being a one-man army. She kept Happy because by now, the man was a constant in her life and a good security guard for anyone else but her. Across from her, Pepper began to make a lot of calls.

"Nothing much, ma'am. Did manage to get a new sedan though." Happy replied.

"How has there been nothing new? I would think that there would be something new due to me being gone."

"They did your life story on sixty minutes." Happy responded.

"Thank you!"

"Wow Tony, do you really thing that the who world completely resolves around you?" Naruto asked with a slight chuckle.

"Well it does." Tony replied. The car drove about the area until it hit the first restaurant that served cheeseburger. "Burger King. Not my first idea of a good place to eat, but who cares. Food now!" Tony remarked. Happy went through the drive through and began to order Tony her food. She turned to everyone in the limo. "Any of you want something?"

"Already ate." Both Pepper and Alex responded. Tony looked at Naruto.

"I'll steal your fries."

"Well the saying goes 'what's mine is yours' and all." When Happy paid the server and pulled into a parking space. After waiting a minute, a server walked up with the bag of food in hand. She walked to where Happy was but Tony lowered the window by her. "Right here!" Tony said. The server turned around and her eyes widened at who it was.

"You're Antonia Stark!" The girl said.

"Just Tony, and yes. Food please. Hand it to the blonde with a much lower IQ than me." Tony said while pointing to Naruto. The girl nodded as she got a good look at Naruto and his whisker marks.

She handed the food to Naruto who smiled at the girl. "So are those tattoos?" The girl asked.

"Birthmarks." Naruto replied. He was quite used to people asking that question. After all, in this world it was quite uncommon for people to have extremely unique birthmarks positioned directly on their face.

"Wow, I just have to ask, could I…touch them?" The girl asked. Naruto was also asked that question a lot.

"Knock yourself out." The girl moved her fingers over Naruto's whisker marks.

"They are bumps. It's really weird. Thanks." The girl said before quickly taking out her phone and snapping a picture. Then she ran off. Naruto ducked his head back into the car and saw that the whole group was on the verge of laughing

"What?"

"Naruto, do you realize that they are so many girls out there that would love to jump into your pants right now?" Tony asked.

"I was hoping to avoid that." Tony just pinched Naruto's cheek.

"Isn't that cute." Tony stated. She quickly released Naruto's cheek and rummaged through the paper bag containing her multiple burgers before handing Naruto the fries inside. Then she began to eat her burger. "I don't know if it's because I haven't had good food in a while or because I haven't eaten a burger in a while, but this tastes delicious." Tony remarked with a mouthful of food. The limo took off and drove for five minutes. Tony took this time to two of her cheeseburgers during this. When they pulled up to the Stark Industries building, there was already a mass of reporters, photographers, and cameramen inside sitting at the podium. Outside was the bearded face of Obadiah Stane who smiled as the limo pulled up.

When the group got out of the car, Tony walked over to the man and hugged him. "I was waiting for you at the hospital." He said. He looked at her and the burger in her hand. "You just had to have a burger."

"I was hungry. What can I say?"

"You can tell me if one of those burgers are mine."

"Sorry, I need it." Tony replied and took a bite. Both then began to enter into the building with Naruto, Pepper, and Alex following behind. Naruto though, was stopped by a man in a suit with a short hair.

"I need to speak to you." The man said. Alex and Pepper stopped but Naruto waved them off.

"Who are you? Because if you're a reporter than my wife is inside." Naruto stated.

"No, I just need to speak to you. I'm not a reporter. I'm Agent Phil Coulson, with the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division."

"Well if you're like all the other people, umm, DOD, FBI, CIA, then you should speak with Pepper. She's been speaking to all of them." Naruto replied.

"We are part of a completely separate division with a completely different focus." Coulson said.

"And why do you want me. Tony is the one you need to speak to."

"We have reports that you went out into Afghanistan to find Antonia Stark and within a day, you did. We want to know why?" Naruto didn't really want to explain how he had managed to find Tony by getting smashed by a truck, partially ripped the soul out of a man, and then was covered in gold flames that gave him super speed.

"Maybe you can call Pepper. She can give you all the details because I'm a little tired from the plane ride." Naruto replied.

"But we'd rather get your personal recollection."

"How about later. Okay?" Naruto asked.

"Fine. We will call you." The agent than walked away leaving Naruto slightly stupefied. He continued walking into the building and found Pepper and Alex sitting in one of the seats near the stage where Tony had decided to sit on the edge. Naruto really hopped that Tony didn't flash everyone because Naruto knew that the woman was going commando.

"I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability." Tony said. Naruto could tell that Tony was pained by the memories of what happened.

"Mrs. Stark!" One of the reporters said.

"Hey, Ben." Tony greeted. Naruto really didn't know how Tony remembered all these reporter's names. He couldn't recall any of them. Neither could Kurama, but then again, the giant fox was usually asleep these days.

"What happened over there?" The man named Ben asked.

"I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I have more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark International until such a time as I can decide what the future of the company will be." Tony stated. Well, that was a massive bomb that was dropped. Naruto wasn't really surprised that she said something shocking, no, what he was surprised about was that she got rid of most of what made her company function.

Tony leaned over to Obadiah and whispered something. She then turned back to the crowd of reporters, "What direction it should take, one that I'm comfortable with and is consistent with the highest good for this country, as well." Tony finished.

Obadiah still looked quite shocked from this revelation but he managed to put it behind a massive smile before taking the stand, quite literally. "What we should take away from this is that Tony's back! And she's healthier than ever. We're going to have a little internal discussion and we'll get back to you with the follow-up." Obadiah concluded.

Tony finally finished her burger and walked away from the stage with Pepper and Alex following after her. Naruto smirked and decided to get out of the building as quickly as he could before the reporters mobbed him about his wife.

The four met by the limo. "I'll be heading to my office to deal with the storm that will be coming due to your decision. You should meet with Obadiah first though. He'll want to talk to you about this." Pepper stated.

"You coming for dinner Peps?" Tony asked.

"Yes. I'll see you at the house." Pepper then walked away leaving the three alone. Tony turned to look at Naruto and Alex.

"Do you two want to come with me or head to the limo?" Tony asked.

"I'm staying with you, mom." Alex replied. "After all, you said we were going to do stuff together when you got back."

"Of course, kiddo. Now, let's get this show on the road." The Stark family began to walk towards Obadiah's office. After dodging all the annoying reporters, the group stood before the office door of Obadiah Stane. There was even a little plaque with his name written on it. "I'll go in and you two find something entertaining to do. Maybe office mini golf. Or Olympics." She said while pushing the door open. It closed shut behind her and Naruto and Alex looked at one another.

"There are probably a set of golf clubs around somewhere." Naruto remarked.

Inside the office, Obadiah looked out his window at the massive Arc reactor that powered the entire building. Tony walked up to him, "Well, that... That went well." Obadiah calmly stated.

"Did I just paint a target at the back of my head?" Tony asked.

"Your head? What about my head?" Obadiah replied with a sigh.

"What do you think the over-under on the stock drop is gonna be tomorrow?" Tony pondered.

"Optimistically, at forty points."

"At minimum?"

"Yep." Obadiah turned to look at Tony and put his hands on her shoulders. "Tony, we're a weapons manufacturer."

"I don't want a body count to be one of my legacies." Tony replied

"That's what we do. We're iron mongers. We make weapons."

"My name is still on the side of the building."

"And what we do keeps the world from falling into chaos." Obadiah reasoned. Before the kidnapping, Tony would have seen the older man's reasoning as good advice. Now though, all it did was hold her back.

"Not based on what I saw. We're not doing a good enough job. We can do better. We're gonna do something else." Tony replied. At least she could shove it in Rhodey's face that she was being responsible.

"Like what? You want us to make baby bottles?" Obadiah asked with skepticism.

"I think we should take another look at Arc reactor technology."

"Come on. The Arc reactor, that's a publicity stunt!" Obadiah let go of Tony's shoulders and pointed to the massive Arc reactor outside the window. "Tony, come on. We built that thing to shut the hippies up!"

"And it works." As she said this, Obadiah took a look between her chest. From this, Tony began to make the assumption that Obadiah had figured out that she had an Arc reactor between her chest.

"Yeah, as a science project. The arc was never cost effective. We knew that before we built it."

"Arc reactor technology, that's a dead end, right?" Tony asked with a growing smirk on her face.

"Maybe." Obadiah replied. Oh Obie was already starting to show his poker face.

"Am I right? We haven't had a breakthrough in that in what? Thirty years."

"That's what they say." Yeah, Obie definitely knew.

"You definitely have one of the worst poker faces that I know. So, who told you that, Rhodey or Pepper?"

"Never mind who told me. Show me." Obadiah ordered. Tony rolled her eyes before she began to unbutton her blouse until her Arc reactor was revealed. Obadiah put his hand under his chin and seemed to be thinking.

"I hope that I'm not interrupting your train of thought, but it is a little awkward for you to be staring at my chest like that. And it works." Tony finished with a smirk.

"You need to learn to tell me thing without me having to look for them. Listen to me, Tony. We're a team. Do you understand? There's nothing we can't do if we stick together, like your father and I." Obadiah said.

"Obie, I'm not a little girl anymore. I know what I'm doing."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Obadiah looked out the window of his office and at the massive Arc reactor. "Tony, can you at least promise me that you'll lay low for a while. Just to let all of this blow over."

"Is that a binding contract or-"

"No jokes. Or else I'll order Naruto to force you to lay low." Now that was just unfair. The guy was probably going to be extremely overprotective of her for the next couple of weeks.

"That is just an unfair card to play."

"Antonia." Tony groaned in annoyance.

"Fine. Anything else?"

"Enjoy yourself. Do something to take your mind off of what has happened." Tony was already leaving the office.

"Got it, don't blow up the world. See you later."


It had been a day since the whole press release, and Tony's name was once more plastered to the televisions of the world. Naruto was watching one of the shows right now that showed the criticisms of his wife's decisions. Alex had already been dropped off at his school called 'Tomorrow Academy'. Now it was just him and Tony at the house. Tony was somewhere downstairs doing science stuff. He was just making ramen noodles.

Thank God this world had Ramen noodles.

"Hey Naruto, could you please come down to the lab for me?" Tony asked over the speaker system in the house.

"Sure. But why?" Naruto asked.

"I just need you to get down here." Tony replied. Naruto grabbed a spoon and began to eat his noodles as he walked downstairs into the lab. When he got down there, he noticed Tony lying down on an operating chair, hooked up to a machine that monitored her heart rate, with her shirt off and her Arc reactor on full display.

"So are you just trying to be an exhibitionist?" Naruto asked.

"Nope. But I need your hands. First, you need to get the shrapnel in my chest out, then we can get a new reactor to replace the one in my chest." Naruto looked at the Arc reactor and it looked perfectly fine.

"Why do you want to replace your Arc reactor?"

"Because I made it in a cave with the box of scraps provided to me by the friendly terrorists. Now can you please get this shrapnel out?" Tony asked.

"Yes. But it will hurt." Naruto said.

"Oh don't be such a baby about it. Now do it." Tony ordered. Naruto walked up to Tony's side and held his hand over her chest. "What, you preparing to grope me or are you just going to-" Tony's face became scrunched up with pain as Naruto felt around the metal tube surrounding the reactor. The machine measuring her heart rate began to beep loudly as this happened. Naruto concentrated on the metal shrapnel and with a quick jerk of his arm, the shards ripped themselves out together and into Naruto's hand.

Blood began to seep out of the holes around Tony's chest but Naruto quickly healed the holes. The machine's beeping began to slow down while Tony looked into Naruto's eyes and began to breathe. Naruto grasped Tony's hand and smiled.

"Are you okay, honey?" Naruto asked.

"I definitely don't want to do that again. Now I just need you to replace my reactor with the one on the table. First though, twist this one out." Tony said. Naruto did so and pulled the reactor out. "Now gently pull the plug out." Naruto did as Tony asked and gently yanked the cord out of the magnet.

"Anything else?" Naruto asked.

"Reach into my chest and look for a wire." Naruto was slightly hesitant about this part but he eventually reached in.

"This feels really weird, Tony." Tony giggled at this.

"You've already stuck parts of your anatomy into three of my holes. What's one more?" Tony replied with a lewd grin.

"A sex pun at a time like this? I think that I-I got the wire." Naruto said as he yanked it out. On the end of the wire was a small brown metal disk with a hole in the center. He then set it on the tray next to Tony and grabbed the new Arc reactor that had a much smoother design than the previous one. Then he plugged the reactor into Tony's chest and screwed it into the hole. "Done."

"You were a natural for your first time. Might want to wash your hands though." Tony said as she pushed herself out of the chair and walked over to a table where a shirt was and buttoned it up. Naruto made a quick handsign and water bubbled into existence on his hands which Naruto used to wash the pus like substance off of his hands.

"What is this stuff anyway?" Naruto asked.

"Inorganic plasmic discharge from the reactor."

"So, basically science pus."

"Sure. Go with that you Neanderthal. Now, I'm going to go to Rhodey's office since he came back today from whatever super-secret military operation or something like that. I'll be back for dinner." Tony walked over to Naruto and kissed him before walking away.

"Hey, what do you want me to do about this?" Naruto asked as he held the reactor that was still glowing in his hand.

"Pitch it, toss is, eat it. Do whatever you want with it. I don't care. I'll see you tonight." Tony stated as she walked out of the lab leaving Naruto alone. He looked down at the Arc reactor in his hand before tossing it to his other hand.

"Wonder if Pepper could do anything with this?" Naruto mused. Pepper was at times, the person who would act like a mother hen to Tony by collectiing all the important and sometimes valuable things that she threw out. Naruto went back upstairs to the weight room and began training. Obadiah had earlier given him an assignment of watching Tony to make sure she didn't get into trouble, by disguising it as time off which Naruto gratefully accepted. So right now, he was technically making sure that she didn't get into trouble as she was going to Rhodey.

Completely trouble free.

Naruto summoned a few clones and entered the boxing ring. His clones followed after him. "Hey Jarv, can you play me a beat?" Naruto asked.

"As you wish, sir. Will that be all?" JARVIS asked. In the background, ACDC began to blare in the background. Naruto was used to his wife's obsession with the band and had learned to accept them into his life.

"Can you set me a reminder for when I need to pick up Alex?"

"Setting appointment for 3:00 pm." JARVIS replied.

"Thanks, Jarv." Naruto turned to look at his clones. "Let's do this." With that, the four Naruto's began to battle one another for supremacy. As they fought, each clone fought with a different style of fighting in mind. One fought using the Asura path of the Rinnegan, thereby turning his body into a mechanized weapon. Another fought with Nine Tails chakra mode activated, the final one fought with Sage mode. Naruto, he fought using the Deva path of the Rinnegan by releasing small spheres of gravity.

All of this collided into one epic battle limited to a small twenty by twenty-foot boxing arena. After thirty minutes of this, JARVIS alerted Naruto to the fact that he needed to pick Alex up. Naruto quickly ran to his room and grabbed his brown leather jacket before running downstairs and towards the garage where all the cars were kept. Inside, Naruto grabbed an orange Lamborghini before driving off to Alex's school.

The traffic was quite minimal as Naruto made his way to the school and within ten minutes, Naruto pulled the car up in the school's parking lot. He noticed how many people were using their phones to take pictures of his car but he ignored them. Getting his photo taken after living with Tony all these years was regular occurrence. Eventually Alex came out of the school and ran towards the car before entering.

"Hey Alex, how was your day?" Naruto asked as Alex buckled his seat belt.

"A little boring. Our teacher was giving this lecture about biology of insects and basic physics but I already read way ahead of both those classes so I tuned Mr. Green out." Alex replied.

"That pretty much went over my head. But overall, good day?" Naruto pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road where he tried to escape the area of the school before everyone else.

"Yeah. A bunch of girls have been coming up to me all this week though."

"What for?" Naruto asked with some intrigue.

"Well apparently they wanted to comfort me because of mom getting kidnapped. Ashley laughed at them when I told her." Alex said, talking about one of his friends at school. Naruto had met her a few times when Alex invited her over to the house. She was a nice girl.

"Well, I would recommend that you don't tell mom. Otherwise she'll be all over your case." Naruto remarked as he made a turn with his car and onto the highway.

"Alright, dad. So anything new happen with you?"

"Nope. Just did some training. And then when we get back home, I can teach you the Rasengan." Naruto looked around as if someone was watching. When he was sure that no one was, he looked at Alex. "Also, make sure to not tell that to your mother."

After another ten minutes, Naruto pulled the car up to the front door and killed the engine. Then both he and Alex got out of the car and into the house. "Greetings Mr.'s Stark." JARVIS said.

When Alex put his backpack away, he ran to the gym where his father was already waiting with his jacket off and a bag of something next to him.

"So, how do I learn the Rasengan? Some massive training exercise? A fight? Making explosions with our hands?" Alex got a water balloon thrown in his face in response. "Ahhhhh! That's cold!" Alex stated. Naruto smirked and pulled out another balloon which he held in his hands.

"What I want you to do is use your chakra to spin the water in this balloon in order to make it pop. When you can do that, we will go to step two." Naruto stated.

"That doesn't seem too hard." Alex replied.

"Sure, say that now." Naruto tossed the balloon over to Alex which he caught. He then began the process of making his chakra spin the water in the balloon. The balloon slightly stretched, but that was all. This frustrated Alex as it seemed like this would be an easy exercise.

"How long did it take you to learn this, dad?"

"It took me a month to figure it out." Alex sighed in frustration.

"This is gonna take so long to learn." Alex stated with displeasure. Naruto walked over to Alex and kneeled next to him.

"Anything good in life takes time. Luckily for you, you have something that can speed up the time it takes to learn something." Naruto said, hoping that Alex would pick up the hint that he was trying to convey. It took Alex a few seconds before he got what Naruto said and grinned. He then put his hands into a cross shape and spawned out two clones.

Naruto nodded in approval before ruffling Alex's hair and standing up. "Where are you going, dad?" Alex asked.

"I'm going to get some food. I'll be back eventually." Naruto replied. He did come back with a cup of noodles and ate as he watched his son and his clones try to pop the balloon with chakra. It would be 6:00 before Naruto heard Tony's car pull up. This made Naruto immediately activate his chakra mode and speed to the bag of balloons which he hid in one of the closets in the gym. He then ran over to the three Alex's and grabbed their balloons before also hiding them in the closet. Then he returned back to where he was originally standing and deactivated his chakra mode.

"Don't tell mom."

"I won't."

Both males heard the door open and JARVIS greet Tony. "Hey boys, I'm back!" Tony shouted. Naruto and Alex walked out of the gym together and to where Tony was. "So how was your day?" Tony asked.

"Fun." Naruto replied.

"Fun." Alex also replied.

"Then let's get some food ready. I'm starving." Tony said. Naruto nodded.

"I'll make the food. How about you and Alex go build cars or something." Naruto replied. Tony and Alex cheered before running off to the basement together. "Those two are such huge nerds." Naruto said as he began looking through the cabinets. Tonight he would make some steak.

It was really helpful that he had learned to cook food all on his own when he lived alone as well as when he traveled with Jiraiya around the Elemental Nations. Jiraiya, while a good teacher, was not the best cook. Though Naruto would've preferred Jiraiya's cooking over his death.

It would be an hour later when Naruto finished cooking the food. He put the steaks and pasta that he made onto three separate plates. Then he grabbed two of the plates along with forks and knives which he brought down to the lab. He typed in the code to the lab with his foot before walking in to find Alex and Tony both working on the engine of a car together.

"I think that after doing all that work, you'd be hungry by now." Naruto said. Alex and Tony just grunted in response. "I'll leave the food on the table. You can get it if you both get hungry." They still made no reply as they worked. Naruto looked around and found a large screw which he tossed at the back of Tony's head.

"Ow!" She said before turning around to Naruto. This action also knocked Alex out of his scientific nerdy stupor. "What was that for?

"There is food, I hope you understand." Tony and Alex looked at the two plates of food and then back to Naruto. "I'll leave you two alone then." Naruto didn't move more than five feet before the mother and son ran to the plates of food. This made Naruto smirk as he began to leave the lab. "Don't stay up too late now." Naruto said.

Tony chuckled as she ate her food. Her husband was such a worrywart.


It would be 9:30 when Naruto came back down to the lab to see his wife and son now finished with the engine. Both their plates were picked clean and stacked atop one another on a table. At least they liked his food.

"Okay, Alex, it's time to go to bed. You have school tomorrow." Naruto announced. Tony and Alex turned to look at him together.

"Aw, do I have to. I'm having fun!" Alex complained. Naruto shook his head.

"You can stay up on the weekend. Tonight is a school night, so time to go to bed." Alex turned to look at his mother as he expected her to back him up.

"Don't look at me, your father is right. We'll build the main body of the car tomorrow." Tony said.

"Fine. Night mom." Alex said before hugging his mother. He walked past his father and both gave each other a fist bump before Alex finished his exodus from the lab. When they were alone, Tony walked over to Naruto with a certain type of familiar gleam in her eyes.

"You're planning something, aren't you?" Naruto asked. Tony leaned close to Naruto's ear.

She then whispered in huskily, "Maybe." This sent some shivers of excitement down Naruto's spine. "Wanna see it?" Naruto leaned closer to Tony's ear.

"Maybe." Tony took this as a yes and grabbed Naruto by the hand before leading him to a desk full of computers.

"JARVIS, show the designs." Tony ordered. The lights in the lab dimmed and one of the holographic boards next to the computer lit in the hologram was a suit of armor, a little similar to what Naruto had seen his wife in when she was falling from the sky in the desert.

"What's this for?" Naruto asked.

"I decided to work on a project. It is supposed to be a solution to all the damage that I have caused with my weapons." Tony replied.

"And you are making a suit of armor that can protect. Do you plan to mass produce it?"

"No. It's just going to be for me." Tony stated. It took a second for Naruto to understand what Tony was saying, but he did.

"Don't tell me that you're going out in that thing! That would be extremely dangerous!" Naruto said with some fear laced in his voice.

"My weapons are dangerous. They are even worse in the hands of those terrorists out there! It's my fault that they even have them. I designed and built those weapons. How many innocent people have I indirectly killed because of them?!" Tony shouted at him. She sat down in a chair with some tears falling down her cheeks.

Naruto had only seen Tony at her weakest a few times in her life. He hated it when she was like this. He hated to see her cry.

"Those soldiers who were escorting me back to the airport, all of them were murdered by my weapons. My friend Yinsen who I was locked with in that cave, both he and his family were killed by my weapons. And I want to do something that isn't just a waste of my life." Tony finished. Naruto kneeled next to her and took her hand in his own. He looked into her eyes and wiped the tears with his fingers.

"You are not a waste. Never think that. You are the smartest, most beautiful, and most stubborn woman I know. And I love you for all of those traits. Never forget that." Naruto said with conviction. Tony smiled and kissed him.

"You really are my anchor, even if I find it annoying at times." Tony replied.

"I understand what you're trying to do, but if you are going to go out there and act as a hero, then I want your promise that if things go too far south, you will call me for help. Got it?" Naruto asked. Tony smiled and nodded.

"What if I fly too far south?" She asked.

"Wait, your suit can fly?"

"It will when I am done with it. Why do you ask?"

"Because," Naruto stood up, "last time I saw you in the air, you weren't so much as flying as you were falling." Tony giggled and punched Naruto in the arm.

"That's because I had a bunch of scrap to work with. When you see my completed armor, then you'll understand what I've been building." Tony replied while standing up.

"Then we'll just have to see that, won't we?" Naruto said as he leaned closer to Tony.

"Oh yes we will." Tony replied as she leaned closer to Naruto. Without a second's hesitation, the couple began to kiss one as they tore at one another's clothes. Eventually their struggles led them to a table which they both collapsed atop of.


Tony laid atop Naruto after their hour of coitus. Both were covered in sweat and other substances. Tony looked at the table that they were on. "We'll definitely need to disinfect this afterwards." She stated.

"So, was this that private chat that you wanted earlier on the plane?" Naruto asked.

"Definitely." Tony replied when she laid her head on Naruto's chest. She could hear his heart thump from where she was. It was very calming and she could probably fall asleep to it if given enough time.

"Umm, should we move to our bed?" Naruto asked. Tony tried to move her legs.

"Nope. Can't walk. Can you carry me?" Tony replied.

"Yeah. Just give me a moment." Naruto said as he began shifting about. Tony could feel it as Naruto pulled out of Tony and lifted her up before moving her into a bridal carry. Naruto activated his Rinnegan which glowed before both he and Tony were teleported from the lab and to their bedroom. Naruto laid Tony onto the bed and jumped in after her before pulling the covers up.

"Naruto, I have a question." Tony began.

"What would that be?"

"Out of all the times that we have had sex over the years, why haven't I ever gotten pregnant except for one time?" Tony asked.

"Oh, yeah, well Kurama is really helpful in that situation. He can control if I'm actually fertile or not. Really helpful, isn't it?"

"Oh yeah. Wanna go for round two?"

"You read my mind."


And another chapter has been completed. I have really enjoyed how much all of you loved this story and I will continue to work on it just for all of you. Now, while many of you have similar questions that you've been asking, I'll try to answer them as best as I can.

What's even better is that I actually got Tony Stark even with her busy schedule. Well Tony, you up for some question time?

Tony: Sure, what do you want?

One of the main questions that everyone has been asking has involved why you prefer the name Tony instead of something much more gender appropriate like Toni, or Tonya.

Tony: I could really care less about what people think about my name. When all of you are as rich, smart, and beautiful as me, then you can have a point five percent chance of me actually bothering to listen to what any of you are trying to say. Anything else?

Yes, many of the fans have been asking why Naruto isn't alerted as to why Obadiah is evil if Kurama can sense evil intent?

Tony: Whoa whoa whoa, two things, one: Obadiah is evil? Two: Naruto says that Kurama is usually asleep these days unless he activates his chakra mode. Still, when was Obadiah evil? Sure, he doesn't really donate to charities that often but how does that make him evil?

Uhhh, moving on…

Tony: You can't just move on! What are you possibly hiding?!

Deadpool, take care of her!

Deadpool The Coolest Super guy who is totally cooler than Tony Stark: Yeah, I'm here. What do you want? Maybe for me to be funny. Hey audience, this is the Deadpool being voiced by Ryan Reynolds except I'm not from the terrible origins movie. Still have to kill that guy that decided to sew my mouth shut. That's my most lovable feature.

Deadpool, just erase Tony's mind with the neuralizer that you probably have shoved up you ass somewhere.

Deadpool Guy who is definitely cooler than the narrator: Got it! Get over here Miss Stark Tits! I was a girl totally before you!

And that takes care of the chapter. Thanks for stopping by. Stay frosty my friends.
