Am I Officially a Member of the Stark Family? Yes, Yes, I Am!

When Jarvis came back a few minutes later, he apologized and handed her a key. "Mrs. Maria said that you will need your own key now that you are Master Tony's nanny."

He paused for a second and then asked, "Do you wish to know where Master Tony is?"

"That would be lovely, Jarvis."

He told her, and she headed that way, with a quick stop to her room to put away all the clothes that she'd bought.

I can't believe I just talked to Jarvis! His voice is so cool! It sounds just like Paul Bettany! You are so lucky that you didn't fangirl in front of him. He would have thought you were a weirdo!

By now, she had found Tony, and she walked into his room to sit on his bed next to him. "So, what are you doing, Tony?"

He launched into an explanation that mostly went over her head, but she could ask a few questions that showed that, although she didn't understand most of what he said, she did understand a little. [The author is not putting the questions in because the author has no clue what Tony's talking about most of the time (when he gets on a mechanical/technical rant).]

After he finished explaining, she got his attention. "I have something to tell you, Tony. It's very important, and you will be the first person I've ever told." Howard obviously doesn't know yet, and Eric hasn't been born either, so that means he doesn't know yet either. So I'm not lying.

Tony seemed to sense that she was extremely serious, and he gave her his whole attention.

"I'm a time traveler, Tony. I just came from the year 2018."

Tony was clearly skeptical. And, to ease, his wariness, Kaye decided to prove it.

"Come with me; I can prove it."

He followed her to her room, and there she showed him her laptop, phone, and all the other things that she had, like her Bluetooth headphones, etc.

His mouth fell open in shock, and she smiled down at him. "I just wanted to let you know. Now if I disappear, you'll know that I've just jumped to another time. I don't have control of it, so I don't know when I'll pop off. Knowing what an amazingly kind-hearted young man you are, I knew you'd be worried so I thought that I would let you know so that you could be at ease."

After letting Tony have a few seconds to digest this, she saw that the silence was getting just a bit awkward...(read: extremely awkward), so she immediately changed the subject. "Now, what would you like to do? We can play games, build something..." seeing that his face still hadn't changed, Kaye continued on, "Um...I could tell you some stories?"

Tony looked up at her with a straight face, and then he laughed, face lighting up. Kaye grinned proudly at seeing Tony's smile. Heaven knows he needed a happy childhood because his later years were not happy in the slightest.

However, she wasn't going to let that go; nope, absolutely no way. So, pretending to be grumpy, she made an exaggerated frown. "Are you laughing at me, young man?"

She immediately reached out and tickled him, "I'll give you something to laugh about!"

He erupted into giggles, trying desperately to stave off her hands, but she refused with a smirk.

But, it wasn't long before he decided to counter-attack. She shrieked in laughter and jumped up quickly, running away. "I'm the tickler! You can't change our roles!"

He laughed and followed her, and because she deliberately ran slowly so that he could catch up, he soon was tickling her again.

"Nooooo! You've beaten me!"

Tony laughed even harder as Kaye collapsed to the floor, anime-tears pouring from her eyes. "I've lost. I can't believe I'm no longer the top tickler!"

Suddenly, Jarvis walked over to them, looking down with a serious face although there was laughter in his eyes.

"Miss, Young Master Tony, please follow me. It is time for dinner."

Kaye bounced up from the floor, eyes magically dried, and cheered. "Food! Hallelujah! I've been saved!"

Tony followed her, laughing, as she skipped towards the dining room.

"Are you hungry, Tony? I, personally, could eat an elephant!"

Tony nodded, putting on a pitiful expression. "I'm starving too!"

"Well, we can't have that. I guess we'll just both have to eat an elephant each." She scrunched up her nose at him, looking him up and down. "Are you sure you can handle that?"

He puffed his chest out. "Absolutely!"

She nodded, "Good man!" She turned to Jarvis, and said imperiously, "We demand to be fed an elephant each."

Jarvis' lip barely twitched, but he refrained from completely smiling. "Well, although I do not have two elephants, I have made a five-course meal. Will that suffice?"

Kaye gave a long-suffering sigh, turning to Tony, "Do you think we can survive on that?"

Tony thought for a while and then nodded seriously, "I think so."

After Tony had gone to bed, Kaye walked toward Howard's room. She knocked on the door before she could change her mind.

After receiving his acknowledgment, she opened the door and headed inside.

Once inside, she stood at attention, feeling for all the world that she was once again a little kid called to the principal's office for playing pranks.

Great. Like I needed this feeling to come back. Stupid office, stupid Howard, stupid brain making parallels.

Needless to say, although Kaye was telling him everything that she could about herself and how she had gotten here, she walked away without remembering much...kinda like when she'd been sent to the office.

How ironic...more parallels. Just what I always wanted. Thanks you stupid brain.

It had now been months since Kaye had become Tony's nanny, and she was going crazy. Although she loved Tony, she had been with him 18/7 for all of the past months. She needed some time to herself.

But, there was absolutely no way that she was going to hurt Tony by telling him that. So...she burst into Howard's office one Friday morning after planning for weeks.

"Hey, I have to go out tonight. It's a matter of life and death. I prepared everything you and Maria need to take care of Tony for the night." She dumped a bag on his desk and ran out, "Thanks!"

Hey, so I am so sorry that this took so long. I've been utterly swamped with teaching three English classes and three history classes every day. These kids have the English skills of a fifth grader and most of them are graduating this year. -_-

Anyway, it will probably be about this long before I can post again. I am so sorry.
