–Stark, You Didn't Call Me Potter–

February, 2010

Tony flew inside the headquarters as he saw the Director - Fluffy or something along those lines - and a lot of Agents run out of said building as he heard a voice saying 'All Agents code 13'.Tony looked around, using ex-ray to find the body of Potter and he found his fallen body, some Agents were over him pressing his chest as if to… revive him!

"No…"

Tony stormed into the place at once, destroying the walls in his haste, forced the Agents from Potter and, after he picked him up, flew deeper into the headquarters. He needed Riddle!

"STARK!" Tony heard and saw Legolas, as the man threw an arrow. "It never misses its target." The Agent added pointedly.

Tony flew after it at once, and stormed inside the room where Riddle's glass cell was. Riddle looked up and his eyes grew wide at seeing Potter, Tony lowered him on the floor and Riddle apparated out the cell and at his side.

"What happened?"

"Don't know. One minute it was fine, the next the necklace pulsed and, by the time I touched it, it was cold." Tony answered opening the face of the suit. "When I arrived here the agents were trying to force the air into his lungs."

"Tell me if there are any changes." Riddle said before he grabbed the necklace from Potter, opened it, took the wand out and, after enlarging it, started to use it on Harry.

Tony leaned against the wall as the Agent at his side was talking with his bosses on the ear phone; warning them about what was happening. Legolas entered with a box and put it besides Harry on the floor before approaching Tony.

"Thank you for the arrow." Tony mumbled.

"I knew when I saw you that you were looking for the Dark Lord, it was the only possible reason for you to storm inside SHIELDs in that way with a sleeping Agent Potter in your arms. I could guide you but the arrow would be quicker."

"Can you find out who did this?" Tony asked coldly. "I have unfinished business with whoever did this to Harry."

Tony watched as Riddle looked up for brief seconds before he continued his work.

"I'm sure Phil would know… I don't know what Potter's been working on. Though I did try to find out." Legolas mumbled to himself as he turned his ear phone on.

Tony felt so useless. The clock was ticking, Harry was still unconscious, Riddle wouldn't stop with his wand movements and his incantations, the damn ring was still out cold and nothing was changing. All he could do was wait right there against the wall and trust an assassin to make sure Harry was well. There was even a chance that Harry wouldn't even wake up! Wasn't he immortal? SHIT! He was so going to kill whoever done this! Whoever dared to do this to Harry would pay, dearly! Even if Tony would end up in jail for this, Tony would make them pay!

Tony watched as Riddle looked at him, before returning to Harry again. The man didn't need to speak, he knew what was passing through Tony's mind.

"Is he… dead?" Tony looked up at the owner of the voice to see Agent Coulson entering the destroyed door that the arrow had blown up.

"Not yet." Riddle hissed. "His body is, but not his soul. As long as I keep his soul in here and manage to revive his body I won't need to find him a new body." The man added before snapping; "Now shut up and let me work!"

Tony closed the mask and closed his eyes tightly, trying to keep the tears in. 'Come on Harry, don't give up! Your children need you… I need you!'

The ring pulsed as if it had a heart.

"Riddle."

"I said…" the man hissed.

"The necklace pulsed!" Tony growled making Riddle turn to Tony and then back to Harry.

"You did something. Whatever it was, do it again!" the man ordered.

Tony frowned. He hadn't done anything… well he had thought about the children… how they needed Harry there. But that wasn't making the necklace react. What else… Tony's eyes grew wide. 'I need you here, Harry.'

The ring pulsed again. And Tony saw some colour return to Harry on his place lying on the floor.

'Wake up, Harry. You have to come back, who else will keep me on my toes? Who else will watch Kenai graduate? Who else will watch Jimmie as he pranks the whole school? Who else will watch Ali create his first circuit board? Who else will take Princess to the altar?'

Suddenly Harry's eyes opened as he the man gasped for breath, as if breathing for the first time in his life and then his eyes closed. Tony never thought he would be so happy to see green. Harry's chest started moving up and down as he breathed while he snored lightly as he slept. Riddle sat down tiredly, lowering the wand hand.

"I thought he couldn't die with the horcrux." Tony hissed turning to Riddle.

"And he can't. Although he could if he hadn't made it, my soul would live on but not he himself."

Tony frowned confused.

"Then he has two souls in his body?"

"Not quite… when he divided his soul and took a part and put it in the necklace that he gave you for good luck, he already had a part of my soul in him. So as his soul started to mend together, my soul in him mended with his own. There's one soul in Harry's body. If he loses his body, the soul won't be separated, it will just need to find another place to live." The man explained. "But it will take a lot of time and dark magic to even manage to bring him back… but as long as you have your necklace neither I nor Harry will die." The man explained, grabbing a flask from the box and chucking it down.

Legolas approached Harry and, after Riddle's nod, he took him inside the cell to the bed in there, laying him down. Riddle stood and, as he passed Tony, he hissed soundlessly.

"Not everyone has a second chance and that wouldn't have worked if it wasn't both ways." And continued on, going to sit beside Harry in the cell on a chair.

–UNF–

Tony sat in the office Coulson had taken him to, looking at the flavoured water the agents called coffee he had been given in silence. Legolas was being forced to fill a report about why he had shot his arrow and Tony had promised to reread it to help him not get on babysitting duty again. Tony looked at his phone as Rhodey's number flashed on the screen.

"Stark."

"Tony, what the hell happened? Pepper just called me saying that you told Jarvis to warn her to pick up the kids…"

"Something happened to Harry. I don't know what but his Uncle already fixed it… but if I hadn't come at once it would have been too late."

"Black was dying?"

"Don't tell that to Pepper, she'll flip out." Tony warned. "Or the kids… can you go by my house later? I'm staying here today. Until I'm sure the man is really fine I'm not leaving."

"Yes, sure. I'll go pick Tedmond from school and the trio from the airplane. I'll keep them busy, they won't even notice that you're missing."

"Thank you, Rhodey."

"Just warn me if there are any changes in Black's condition."

"I will. Do you want me to call Pepper, or will you call her?"

"I'll call her. Some sudden attack in Africa and you had to go check it out." Rhodes answered making an excuse quickly and Tony smiled weakly at the easy answer. "But I will call Yinsen for the man to go to where you are."

Tony sighed.

"Fine. Tell him that I'm at Agent Coulson's office. I'm sure he knows where it is."

"Very well. I'll call them at once… and keep in touch!" The man warned before turning the call off.

Tony sighed looking to the ceiling.

"Didn't you always call Agent Potter by Potter?"

Tony glanced at Legolas as the man looked at him with an inquisitive look. Tony shrugged.

"He just died. You can't blame a man for becoming a little possessive."

Legolas grinned and nodded, before offering Tony the paper he had been writing on. Tony sighed and took a pen, he checked the report for any detail he should add or any word he should change. Finally, when Tony returned it, Legolas started to type it on the computer that was on the office.

"You know… my bosses want an Agent with you to make sure you won't do anything stupid… like what you did today."

"Let me guess, you're offering for the job?"

"I can work as anything, you know? I have a really good aim."

Tony huffed and was about to refuse when he smirked.

"Even as a bodyguard?"

Legolas looked from the screen to Tony.

"I thought you didn't like bodyguards. But yes, even as a bodyguard."

"It's not for me…"

Legolas frowned confused.

"How will I get close to you to satisfy Director Fury then?"

"You will guard the children… they are always with me." Legolas' eyes grew wide. "Ali is my heir and, as the media suddenly found out that they are spending the nights at my house, they will be hunted by whoever will want to attack me. Besides the Magical World will also start attempts at our lives now that you have attacked the Magical British Minister."

"That seems like a perfect idea of infiltration." Coulson said as he entered the office. "As long as Barton still fills his reports weekly, I don't see why not. I'm sure Evans will feel better if his children won't be suddenly attacked." Coulson continued and approached the desk, picking the report that Legolas had written and that he was typing. "And as long as his reports continue as satisfying as this one and that won't obviously have Mr Stark's own scribing in it."

Tony smirked as Legolas huffed, snapped the paper back and continued typing.

"Do you know who attacked Harry?" Tony asked turning to Coulson.

Coulson looked at Tony and nodded.

"Apparently when Captain Rogers woke he reacted badly and used Evans as a shield from the Agents whom entered the room to try to calm him down. By putting an arm around Evans' neck he forgot how much strength he had…"

Tony hissed closing his hands with strength.

"Harry gives him life back and that is how he thanks him? By killing him?" he asked while standing, ready to hunt the damn Captain.

"He is right now speaking with Director Fury and from what I've heard he is sorry and wants to offer Evans his apologies as soon as Evans wakes."

Tony sneered.

"And I'm supposed to do nothing? He killed him!" Tony almost screamed. "Harry was dead for a few minutes because of that family destroyer!"

Coulson took a step back as if Tony had given him a punch.

"Calm down, Stark. Potter is fine. I'm sure that shortly after he awakes he will go back to screaming at you the whole day." Legolas said from his place by the computer. "Don't worry, I'm sure that as soon as he wakes the first thing he'll do is get angry at you for blaming the Captain."

Tony sat, crossing his arms with a huff. There was no reason to snap at Legolas because the man was right. Harry would forgive Captain America on the moment the other would apologise and would get angry with Tony because he was destroying all his hard work of reviving the damn man. Tony grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil, and started to write on it, otherwise he would go after Rogers. After a while Yinsen entered, his face a little pale. Tony grabbed his tablet, put the screens on Riddle's cell on to show them to the man to calm him down and returned to the drawing. Harry could say whatever he wanted, but Tony was making him a new set of glasses. Ones that would work a lot like Iron Man's eyes inside the suit and would still have the graduation he needed and that would work as earphones on the glasses next to his ears.

"Do I want to know how you managed to enter the Dark Lord's cams in less than a minute?" Coulson asked as he looked at the tablet screen with Yinsen.

"I taught Ali how to do that around last week. Its child's play." Tony answered with a shrug. "SHIELD is pretty easy to hack. Had I wanted I could have stolen all of your top secrets files long ago."

"Easy?" Coulson asked wide eyed.

"Yep, I use it all the time to speak with Riddle. It's not like I have permission to contact him every time I want." Tony watches as Legolas looked at him amused. "He normally knocks the Agents babysitting him out before I turn the screens on… which means, that I have seen you being knocked out at least three times, Legolas."

Coulson looked to the tablet again as Legolas snickered at his nickname.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." Agent Coulson mumbled.

"May I know what happened to Evans?" Yinsen asked.

"Easy. Captain Rogers, aka Captain America, aka family destroyer, killed him and Riddle had to revive him… and now I'm being babysitted because otherwise I'm going to hunt the Captain down." Tony answered with a growl.

Yinsen hummed and approached, looking over Tony's shoulder to the paper.

"Didn't Evans tell you not to mess with his glasses?"

"I don't fucking care. I'm putting Jarvis with him at all time. I want to make sure he is well. Hell, he just died an hour ago! I have plenty of reasons in my favour this time!" Tony argued coldly.

Yinsen hummed again and pulled up a chair, before sitting and helping Tony with the plans, knowing better than to argue… and it helped to keep them entertained until Harry would wake up. The tablet on the table besides the paper and from time to time one of the two glanced at it to make sure Harry hadn't awoken yet.

After a while, as Tony glanced up at Harry, he remembered something.

"Have you finished with your report, Legolas?"

"I have, why?"

"Unless you want to get fired, I would advise you to go work." Tony simply stated and he watched Riddle look up towards the screen before he looked down at Harry and, immediately after, Harry's breath started to change. "Harry's waking up."

Tony stood, Yinsen and Coulson immediately followed him to Riddle's cell as Legolas left the office and went the other way, probably to travel to Tony's house. Tony watched as Coulson put the code on the screens and the cell's door opened. Riddle looked up with a sneer.

"Did you found out who did this?"

"The same person he was treating." Tony hissed coldly and approached Harry on the bed, as the other took a hand to his neck. "Harry, how do you feel?"

"As if I went to hell and came back." The British said huskily, he seemed to have trouble with speaking.

Coulson gave something from out of the cell to Yinsen who approached and Tony noticed it being a canteen that Yinsen helped Harry to drink from.

"Here, you'll feel better after a little of water." The man said.

"Captain?" Harry asked huskily, between coughs. "Tom didn't…?"

"I didn't do a thing, my Harry. But trust me if I'll ever find myself before that man he might have a terrible accident… and I'm not the only one you have to worry about. Your lover isn't too happy with the man either."

Tony choked, feeling like a bloody teenager being caught with the pants below his knees.

"My… what?" Harry asked.

"You know…" Riddle stretched bored and moved his hand as if batting a fly away. "Your muggle."

Tony sent a warning look at Yinsen who was trying to contain his laugh as Harry went deep red and started to stutter, attempting to say that Tony wasn't his lover.

"How are you, Harry?" Tony asked.

Harry attempted to open his eyes but didn't manage to.

"I guess that I'm tired, I did use a lot of magic… and I feel like… there's something wrong with my body?"

"You'll feel like that for the next 24 hours. It's normal after being reborn." Riddle explained as if it was a nowadays thing.

"Re… born?" Harry stuttered, going deep pale. "I… died?"

"Yeah… and when you're up to it, you're going to hear about it." Tony hissed. "You said that it wasn't nothing life threatening, remember?"

Harry huffed, but it was an amused huff.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that if you don't Tom will, Stark."

Tony rolled his eyes amused.

"Hmm… Evans?"

"Yes, Ho?"

"Are you tired?" Harry shook his head. "Then why are you thinking slowly?"

"I'm what?"

"What name has your muggle been calling you?" Riddle asked amused.

"He's been calling me…" Harry's face grew and if he had his eyes open they would be opening wide. "Stark?" Tony hummed. "You didn't call me Potter."

"Nope."

"Why?"

Tony glared at Yinsen as the man snickered.

"You just died, Harry."

"It was your muggle that brought you back to your body, otherwise you would have to wait for me to gather enough dark magic to give you a new body." Riddle put in.

Harry frowned.

"What did you do… Tony?"

Tony smiled at the name and he was sure that even Coulson was chuckling from his place by the glass door. Couldn't they have a place more private? Honestly!

"I limited to think of what you would be missing if you didn't return." Tony answered. "After all… who would take care of the champs if you were gone?" Tony asked to break the mood.

Harry smiled.

"I'm sure you would do the job just as well… but thanks."

Tony looked at Riddle as the man looked at him thoughtfully.

"Harry?"

"Yes, Voldemort?"

"For how long are you going to play the dumb Gryffindor? Honestly you two have been dancing around each other since the day you two met… even the children can see it." Riddle turned to Tony who paled drastically under the man's stare. "Just kiss him already and be done with it!"
