After they had their talk Tony took some time to think about what he was told before having his lawyers draw up the necessary paper to adopt Regina. "This way if anything happens to me you will get everything, think of it as an apology for everything I've put you through. Besides this way I can make all the dads joke I want on you~" He smirked.

"With how it is I am pretty sure I would die before you, it's easier to kill the one that is fighting closer to you." Regina pointed out.

"No." Tony said seriously. "You are not dying before me. Making you my kid means you can't die before me, kids aren't supposed to die before their parents."

"But they do..." Regina whispered softly as Tony walks away.

Even though they did their best to keep it a secret somehow it got leaked and Regina can't go out without putting on a disguise so she went to Kamar-Taj to get her training and to stay away from the cameras until it dies down.

But after Tony faked his death and almost dying for real Regina decided to return from Kamar-Taj and stay with Tony in case he thinks faking his death again is a good thing. And staying with Tony means she gets to meet his new teammate, the one and only Bruce.

"I can't believe I am working with Bruce Banner!" Regina grinned widely as they work on a project together.

"You were never that excited when you started working with me..." Tony pout as he gives Regina sad eyes.

Regina shrugs her shoulders. "I didn't want to work for you at first remember? Then you gave me papers to sign and I am suddenly your minion."

Bruce froze and stare at them with wide eyes as Tony pull out some papers. "Speaking of signing papers, do you mind signing this?" He asked as he holds out a pen.

"Sure." Regina takes the pen and signs it without looking to see what it is.

"Wait! Hold up, shouldn't you read the papers to see what you are signing?" Bruce is starting to think that maybe it wasn't a good idea to accept Tony's offer.

"I know what they are, they are papers to change my last name to Stark. I'm actually surprised it took him that long to pass me the papers." Regina said as she goes back to work.

"Seriously?" Bruce raises his eyebrow.

"Yep!" Tony throw an arm around Regina and pull her away from her work. "Meet Regina Stark!" He said proudly. "Look at her! Isn't she cute?" He coos as he lifts up an unimpressed Regina.

"Okay. If you are not letting me work then I am going to go shopping for tonight's dinner, Stephen is coming over and I promised I would make Fried rice for him so I'm going to buy groceries. Wanna come with me? I can't drive and it'll get boring on my own."

"Of course we'll come." Bruce smile as he put his work away.

"I'll drive!" Tony dig around for something before throwing it towards Regina. "Put this on and let's go!"

~Market~

"Why do I have to wear this?" Regina glared up at Tony as she tugs at her shirt, it is a plain white shirt with the words 'If found please return to Tony Stark' at the front and back.

"Because it is crowded, you're easy to lose and you just love wandering away when no one is keeping an eye on you." Tony is wearing a plain white shirt with 'You know who I am' at the front and 'If you don't, I am the great Tony Stark' on the back.

Bruce gently pats Regina's shoulder. "It doesn't look that bad." He said to comfort her.

She growled softly. "Whatever, let's just get this done and over with." She heads into the crowd with Tony and Bruce but it didn't take long for them to lose sight of her.

"I'm sure she's fine, Tony. She's an adult, she can take care of herself." Bruce said as he keeps a hand on Tony to keep him from running off in panic.

"But she's so small! Someone could have picked her up and carry her away and no one would know! It's dangerous, next time we'll just order our groceries! No way she's coming here anymore!" Tony knows he is being irrational, she can handle herself and if she is really in any danger he would be able to feel it.

Bruce can't help but smile as he drags Tony to the side so he can calm down before they go looking for Regina, everyone who thinks he's just a heartless playboy obviously has never seen this side of him. He truly loves and cares for the girl he just adopted and from what he has seen she isn't in it for his money, she truly loves and cares for Tony.

~With Regina~

Regina didn't care that she lost the guys and just continue her shopping until she has gotten everything, her shortness is a blessing and a curse, it is easy for her to wave around the crowd but it is easy for people to run into her so she tries to be aware of her surrounding at all times.

"Okay...that should be enough for a few days..." She mutters to herself. "Time to find the guys..." She looks for Bruce and Tony but not paying much attention to her surrounding, big mistake.

A woman rushes towards her and knocks her to the ground. "Watch where you're going!" The woman yelled before taking off again.

Regina groans softly. "Fuck you." She mutters softly as she picks up the bags she dropped, luckily nothing spill out.

"Are you alright?" A voice asked in worry.

Regina turns to around to see a tall, too be far everyone here is taller than her, blonde haired male with blue eyes. "Ye-yeah...I'm fine..." She is a little surprised to see the male. He holds his hand out to her which she took and let him help her up. "Thank you, Sir..."

He smiled softly. "Steve. My name is Steve. Where are your parents?" He asked as he helps her up before letting go of her hand.

"I'm Regina. My parents are in Singapore but my adopted father is around here somewhere." She said as politely as she can, he did check on her and helped her up but it doesn't mean she isn't annoyed that she is mistaken for a kid.

Steve noticed the words on the shirt and he raises an eyebrow. "Are you somehow related to Tony Stark?"

"Yeah, he's my adopted father...well...I should get going before he loses his mind and summons his Iron man suit."

Steve is shocked that Stark would adopt a child, he just doesn't seem like that kind of person. "I'll go with you, won't want you to get lost." He smiled as he helps her take the bags.

She sighs softly. "Fine, I guess it won't hurt." He is helping her carry all the bags and she's sure the worse Tony would do is scare the guy away.

She starts walking towards where they park the car, having to stop once in a while to wait for Steve. Steve is a big guy it makes it hard for him to keep up with Regina, but easy for her to spot him, he tried hard to keep an eye on her but he has lost her a few times.

Regina groan in frustration after having to stop for the fourth time she heads back to Steve and grab onto his shirt, it is very childlike but she is more comfortable holding onto people's shirt than their hands. "There. This way you won't keep losing me." She told him before she continues towards the car at a slower pace.

Steve can't help but smile slightly as he follows her, he can't help but think how cute she is.

Bruce managed to convince Tony to stay near the car so Regina can easily find them and the minute Tony sees her exit the crowd he runs towards her. "Where were you!? Are you alright!? Did anyone try to take you!?" He asked as he looks her over for any wounds.

Regina let go of Steve the minute she saw Tony run towards them and wait for him to calm down before answering him. "I was buying our groceries, yes I am alright and no, no one tried to take me. By the way, this is Steve. He helped me carry the groceries." She said as he points over to where Steve is waiting patiently.

"Oh! Cap, I didn't see you there!" He turns towards Steve with his cocky smirk on his lips. "Small world huh? Thanks for helping out my cute little baby~ She is just such a handful, wandering away without a word~" He pinch Regina's cheek playfully.

"It isn't a problem, Stark. Didn't know you have a kid..." Steve was cut off before he can say anything else by Regina.

"Really thank you for helping me but I am an adult, only 15 years younger than this old man." She said as she points her thumb towards Tony who is trying to hide his laughter.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Steve can't help but blush slightly at his mistake.

"It's no problem, Steve." She gives him a reassuring smile. "Everyone makes that mistake because of how short I am. Come on, the car is just over there." She grabs onto Steve's shirt again and drags him towards the car with a laughing Tony following them.

Bruce is already in the car getting it started when he first saw Regina and he exits the car when he saw them coming back with Steve. "Captain, it's nice to see you again." He greeted politely.

"It is nice to meet you again, Dr. Banner." He greeted back as he places the groceries into the car. "Well...I guess I better get going." He said once the last bag is placed into the car.

"Why don't you come back with us for dinner?" Regina asked as she held onto his shirt to keep him from leaving.

"Oh, I don't want to be a bother..."

"It's no bother at all! Think of it as thanks for helping me!" She looks up at him pleadingly.

Steve really wants to say no, but even though he knows that she is an adult he can't help but melt at how cute she looks right now.

"You better give it up, Cap. Once she gives you that look you're not going to win." Tony chuckle softly as he gets into the driver's seat with Bruce in the passenger seat.

Steve sigh softly. "Fine...I guess it won't hurt to stay for one meal..."

"Yay!" Regina cheered happily and drag Steve into the car, all the while holding onto his shirt so he can't turn around and leave.

Steve can't help but smile as he got into the car and close the door behind him. And as Tony drives off he can't help as his smile grew wider as he watches Tony and Regina fight over which song they should listen to. It is cute and funny to see how they would take turns sneakily changing the song and the insults they throw at each other, it is obvious to anyone that they don't really mean any of the insults they are throwing at one another.

"Welcome to Stark Tower, Cap~" Tony grinned as they step out of the lift. "Make yourself at home~ We'll be in our lab if you need us." He said as he drags Bruce away.

"Aren't you going to help me?" Regina yelled at Tony.

"Not my problem~ We have science to do!" Tony laughed as they disappear down to their mad scientist cave.

Regina sighs softly as she takes off the shirt she was forced to wear over her hoodie and throw it onto the couch as she walks into the kitchen to put the groceries away.

"I can help you with tonight's dinner." Steve smiled kindly as he follows her into the kitchen to put the groceries away.

She shakes her head. "No, it's alright. You're our guest." She turns to him and smiles slightly. "Just take a seat and relax! I'll handle it!" She looks around for the stool that she keeps around the kitchen to reach high places only to see it missing. "Wah lao, how many times do I need to tell him not to take it out of the kitchen?" She mutters under her breath, letting her Singaporean side show itself a little.

"Did you say something?" Steve look over to Regina, he was putting things away into the refrigerator so he wasn't paying much attention to her.

She shakes her head. "Nothing nothing, you really don't have to help. I can do it myself." She said as she climbs onto the countertop so she can put away groceries she bought for another day.

Steve almost had a heart attack when he saw her climb onto the countertop and rush to her side. "What are you doing?" He asked as he gently picks her up and places her back onto the ground. "That was dangerous! You could have gotten hurt!"

She just looks up at him with an eyebrow raised as he continues on and on about kitchen safety.

~Evil Scientist lair- I mean Tony's personal lab~

"Maybe I should go help her, you look like you have everything handled here." Bruce said as he looks up from what he's working on.

"Don't worry, Bruce. She can cook it on her own." Tony said without looking up from his work.

"You don't seem worried that she'll burn down the kitchen."

"Kid is a great cook, she knows her way around the kitchen."

Dum-E came over to Tony and gently nudge his elbow to get his attention.

"Hmm? What is it Dum-E? Daddy is working." Tony looked up from his work to look at his first bot.

Dum-E beeps softly as he points to the corner he was working in.

"Ah! Good job, Dum-E! You've definitely gotten better!" At Dum-E's corner is the stool Regina was looking for and on top of it is 7 cards stacked into a tower. "Now go see if you can make it higher." He shoos him away before continuing his work.

"Sir, may I remind you that Regina had specifically told you not to remove that stool from the kitchen. She has found out that you took it and isn't very happy with you." Jarvis said calmly.

"Oh, she'll be fine. I'll just get her another one...maybe...nu I'm sure she doesn't need one anyway."

"Sir, she climbed the countertop and got scolded by Mr. Rogers. She had to remind him a few times that she's an adult that knows what she's doing before he stops."

Tony actually look up from his work in surprise. "Seriously? Oh man! You have to show me a video of that later, J!"

"Of course, Sir. The video is already saved and ready for you to watch whenever you please."

"Shouldn't we check on her? Doing something like that is dangerous." Bruce is a little worried of the younger Stark, and it only grew when he saw how little Tony seems to care.

Tony waved his hand to brush off that idea. "You worry too much, Bruce. She knows exactly what she's doing, she is a Stark after all~" He said before continuing his work.

Bruce sighs softly. "That what makes me worry even more..." He whispers under his breath as he tries to continue his work.

~And back to the kitchen~

"Steve...would you like to move in with us?" Regina looks up at the taller male next to her. "I doubt you're staying with anyone and we can help you catch up with everything that went on while you're under the ice and you'll have someone to help you get through your PTSD."

Steve teased up and stare down at Regina in shock. "How...how did you find out about all that?"

She shrugs her shoulders as she turns back to what they are cooking. "I'm Tony Stark's daughter, adopted or not it isn't hard to get the information on the Avengers...well just enough for me to figure out which one I would like."

He frowns at her. "You shouldn't be doing things like that..."

She smiled innocently. "I haven't done anything anyone can prove~" She said sweetly before turning serious. "But I'm serious on the offer, you can stay on our guest floor until Tony gets your floor ready and just so you know I would not take no for an answer."

He smiled softly as he stops what he's doing to rest his hand on Regina's shoulder. "Thank you...I really appreciate it."

"I'll take that as an 'I'll stay.'" She smiled up at him. "I'm not going to ask you about your past but I'll be here if you need someone to talk to. Now let's finish cooking! I bet it would be delicious!"

Steve smile as they continue cooking in silence, maybe this future isn't so bad. Maybe...just maybe...he'll be able to have a happy and peaceful family life he always wanted.

Just as she is done cooking she got a call from Stephen letting her know that he can't leave and asked if they can change the date. "Yeah, no problem. Good luck." She hangs up and quickly packs two lunchboxes, she made extra so she's going to give one to Wade. "If he is busy I'll bring it to him. Don't wait for me!" She told Steve before running out.

She opened a portal into an alleyway close to the hospital that doesn't have a lot of people around and steps through. She let the portal close behind her as she walks into the hospital and up to the front desk. "Hi...I'm Regina, do you mind passing this to Doctor Stephen Strange? I know he is busy but he still has to eat." She gives them a smile as she hands it over to them before walking out. She sighs softly as she held the extra lunch close as she heads towards the park, Wade might be there at this time.

"Well well well, look who it is." A male voice said.

She turned around and groaned when she saw who it is, he is one of the reporters Tony had warned her about, Eddie Brock. "Can you just pretend you didn't see me?" She asked as she pulls the hoodie over her head and put on a pair of sunglasses so no one else would recognise her.

"No can do, you are a hard person to find." Eddie said as he walks next to her. "Eddie Brock." He said as he held his hand out to her.

"I know, and you know who I am." She shakes his hand. "Were you following me or something?" She asked even though she knew it is impossible for him to follow her.

"Nope. Was getting a quick coffee when I saw you." He said as he shakes his cup of coffee slightly. "Guess I got lucky." He grinned.

She sighs softly, just her luck. "You're not going to leave until I give you something are you?"

"Clever girl, I can see why Stark likes you so much."

"Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. Brock. But tell you what, if you sit and chat with me without reporting anything I'll give you first hand inside reports of anything I can share."

"Deal." Eddie is curious as to what she would have to say to a complete stranger. "I know a good cafe nearby."

She shakes her head. "We're going to the park, there's a lot of people during this time but it means they are less likely to pay attention to us."

"Okay, the park it is then." He shrugs his shoulders, it doesn't matter to him where they do this.

~Park~

They take a seat on a bench and people watch for a few minutes before Regina starts talking. "How would you feel if someone is able to control you without you being able to do anything?"

"Where did that come from?" Eddie asked curiously before answering. "Well, obviously I won't like it, it would feel horrible and it'll be a huge breach of one's human rights."

"What if...what if the one who is controlling you is someone you trust and they are doing it for your own good?" She is still unsure as to how she should feel about it.

"I guess it depends on the situation, I would be angry at being controlled but if it for my own good I think I would be able to forgive them. Why do you ask?" Eddie narrow his eyes, a little worried now.

She shakes her head. "Just thinking, there are aliens and who knows what they are able to do or what kind of technology they have." She glances towards him. "Maybe there will be one that can control your movements."

"Well, that's what the Avengers are for right? They kick their ass once so they can do it again." Eddie pointed out.

"...I guess so..." She said softly as she turns back to watch the people for a while before saying. "I am not like Tony, I cannot stand crowds and I am camera shy. That's why he decided to keep my adoption a secret, he was really angry when it got leaked."

"Oh?" Eddie turns to her with interest in his eyes.

"Yeah. And as of today, my name is Regina Stark. The paperwork should be finalised by the time you publish it."

"So I can write it?" He asked just to be sure.

"Yeah, you can publish everything I told you about my adoption as thanks for listening." She smiled softly as she takes out her phone and unlocks it before handing it to Eddie. "Type in your number and call yourself, that way we will both be able to contact each other."

"You actually want to see me again?" Eddie asked as he takes her phone and type in his number.

The corner of her lips lifts slightly. "Why not? We might have just met but I kinda like you. Besides, I personally think it is better to give a reporter you can trust to write the truth all the info instead of letting people drag your name through the mud without having any fact." She stood up and smiled softly. "I hope you would be that reporter."

"Well, I will definitely be honoured to be that reporter." He stood up and returned her phone once he is done, he knows if he can get her trust then he would have lots of info to work with.

"Here." She hands him the extra lunch, she didn't see Wade so why not give it to Eddie? If her cooking is as good as Tony said it might get Eddie to like her. "You can have it, think of it as thanks for being such a good listener." She waves as she walks away. "See ya! "

Eddie looks down at the lunchbox and shrugs his shoulders, he isn't going to say no to a free lunch, as he walks back to his house to start working on his new piece.

/I'm sorry, I know I've asked who Regina should be paired with but I honestly don't think Pietro would be a good pair with her, not this vision of Regina anyway. Yes, this Regina can be cute and childish but she is also unforgivingly bloodthirsty when it comes to the safety of the people she cares about, especially Tony. She will kill anyone who hurts people she cares about if she thinks she can get away with it and she will make sure to make their death as painful as possible. She is also not be very forgiving to anyone who has hurt Tony. I'm really sorry, I know the pairing is cute but it just won't work.
