Tony awoke.
The mechanic turned, blinking in the sunlight that faded through the window.
He grunted as he began to sit up. Tony pulled off the sheets and sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose and rubbing his face.
The man slumped over where his legs hung lazily over the side.
His head banged, it was like a hangover had swept through his brain. Oddly enough, Tony didn't remember drinking last night.
Then it hit him.
Everything from last night came flooding back, like a dam had broken. Pepper, Harley, and-
Salvin
Tony gritted his teeth at the name. He was going to do things to that man. The billionaire suddenly calmed when he noticed the lack of a certain 11 year old in his room.
"Harley?" Tony called out.
No answer.
The man stood up, "Harley?" he repeated.
Still nothing.
"HARLEY!" Now Tony was going into panic mode. What had happened to him?
He raced out of the room, calling for the boy.
"HARLEY! WHERE ARE YOU?" Tony was running up and down the halls and staircases of his house. "HARLEY!"
The inventor stopped in his living room for the third time. He was going in circles. Where was he? The man half expected on finding a ransom note.
Tony ran his fingers through his hair as he panicked. He thought of what Salvin might have already done to Harley.
"Harley..." Placing his figures on his temples, the billionaire tried to think of what he might be able to do to figure out what Salvin had done to him.
Looking around Tony noticed a small camera move in the corner of his eye.
"Security footage!"
The genius sped down the stairs to his lab to pull them up.
He quickly opened the glass doors and ran to his computer as he tried to pull up the video fed.
"Hey!"
Tony glanced back, "Hey." the man turned back to his computer then stopped.
The mechanic froze then slowly turned to find Harley sitting happily in one of Tony's vintage cars, hands tightly wrapped around the stirring wheel.
Tony stood straighter, hands still on the keyboard.
"Where have you been?" He asked in a worried tone.
"I woke up and JARVIS showed me this super cool lab." The boy replied nonchalantly.
The man let out a long annoyed sigh. "Why didn't you tell me he was down here JARVIS?"
"You didn't ask sir." The AI replied innocently.
Tony tightened his fists. "When I'm franticly looking for someone and you know where they are..." the man took in a breath, trying to keep himself from screaming. "you tell me."
"You were looking for me?" Harley asked looking confused.
"Yes I was." The genius smiled an angry smiled. "I was practically SCREAMING FOR YOU!"
"I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR YOU!" The boy yelled back.
"DIDIN'T HEAR ME? OR WERE YOU TO BUSY PLAYING WITH MY STUFF?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Harley became defensive as Tony came closer.
"WHEN YOU WAKE UP, TELL ME!" He yelled.
"WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW I'M AWAKE!"
"BECAUSE YOUR IN MY HOUSE!"
"AND WHAT DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT?"
"THAT MEANS YOU'RE MY RESPONSIBILITY!" The man was practically in the boy's face now.
"I'M NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!"
"YES YOU ARE! I THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED TO YOU BECAUSE I WAS BEING STUPID AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION LIKE I ALWAYS DO AND THAT'S HOW I LOSE PEOPLE!" Tony stopped, face red.
Harley's expression changed when he heard the last part.
Suddenly Tony's arms were wrapped around Harley, pulling him into a hug. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell." He whispered.
"No I'm sorry, I should have told you. You were just looking out for me and I didn't care." Harley was crying now.
Tony lifted him out of the car and put him back on the ground. "You don't have to say sorry." The Iron hero wiped the tears out of the boy's soft blue eyes. "It was my fault."
"No it was mine." The 11 year old argured.
"No it was mine."
"NO, it was mine."
"Na uh, MINE!"
Harley grinned, smiling at Tony's fake baby voice.
The billionaire smiled at his own joke. "Let's say it was both of our faults and move on with our life, agreed?"
Harley nodded with a smirk.
"Right." Tony slapped his knees and stood to his feet. "Want breakfast?"
"Yes please." The boy answered.
"Ok, the first one to the kitchen gets the most chocolate chips on their pancake!" The man started running towards the enterance.
"No fair you got a headstart!"
