I do not own

So things turned for the worst on his birthday. He was lucky thathis birthday. He was lucky the Kagome wasn't there to see him in his drunken state. The toxin came back and it was worse than before. He didn't want to ask her to do that healing thing again because the last time she did that she was passed out for two days. He didn't want to risk her health if she pushes herself even further. So he went back to his old drinking habits when he's upset and wore the iron man suit to cover his neck. Then he got into a fight with his best friend James and after that his friend flew off with one of his suits. Now he's sitting on top of a donut shop eating donuts when he saw one eye director Nick Fury.

"I told you I don't wanna join your super-secret boy band." Tony said when they were inside the shop.

Nick laughed. "No, no, no. I remember, you do everything yourself. How's that working out for you?"

"It's…it's…it's…" Tony stuttered a little. "I'm sorry. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot. Do I look at the patch or the eye? Honestly, I'm a bit hung over. I'm not sure if you're real or if I'm having…"

"I am very real." Nick said in a serious tone. "I'm the realist person you're gonna ever meet."

"Just my luck. Where is the staff here?" Tony said grumble

"That's not looking so good." Nick said seeing the toxic lines on his neck.

"I've been worst." Tony said

"We've secured the perimeter." Said a familiar voice.

Tony turned to see Pepper sectary Natalie Rushman.

"But I don't think we should hold it for too much longer." She said

"Huh… you're fired." Tony said weakly

"That's not up to you." She said

"Tony, I want you to meet Agent Romanoff." Nick said

"Hi." Tony grumbled

"I'm an S.H.E.I.L.D shadow." She explained "Once we knew you were ill, I was tasked to you by Director Fury."

"I suggest you apologize." He said with narrowed eyes. Now he knew why Kagome didn't trust her.

"To let you know it seems we weren't the only one's watching you Tony." Nick said "Ever since your daughter came into your life we found out there were others following your every move… and you even hired one."

Tony raised a brow

"Kagomes' nanny, Kagura Kaze." Romanoff said

"Are you sure this isn't just pay back when she took you down so easily." Tony smirked before getting serious. "Beside I did a lot of background checking on her about forty-four times and she's squeaky clean."

"And you did the same to me and yet I'm an agent." Romanoff stated

"Tony, we found out from our agencies that she an A class assassin from Japan and work for that rival of yours Sesshomaru Toisho." Nick informed him. "And we have notice a few others that work for him have popped into your life as well. Sesshomaru has never been on our list because of how clean he was, even with the business he's in. At first we thought he was after you but lately we've seen his men mostly around Kagome. And since that incident with Stane they've doubled the security around her. Why would Sesshomaru be interested with your daughter safety Stark? Is it because of that power of hers?"

Tony froze and his eyes widen when he said that.

"Yes, we knew that shield thing didn't belong to the suit. Is she a mutant?" Nick asked

"I don't know and I don't care. She is still my daughter. I'll always love her and protect her. If you even think of using her as a weapon or try to experiment on her I'll make sure you'll regret it." Tony threaten him

"That's very understandable Tony but you have to understand if she is a threat…" Nick said

"She not! She is only nine years old who has a caring heart and loving soul just like her mother had! If you are so interested in why that Ice hound is so obsessed with my kid, why don't you go interrogate him! I've been trying for a year and six months on what he knows about that man who's after her for this power and who apparently is the one that killed her mother!" Tony shouted, slamming his iron hands on the table that broke in half.

Go after him and bad mouth him all they want but strike his Kagome he will lash out his raged on them. His outburst shocked both agents with wide eyes. Nick knew he had crossed a line but he was surprised by what he heard about Kagomes mother was murdered and that murderer is after Kagome.

"What man?" Nick asked, hoping that maybe they can help him out with it.

"I just finally found out his name by that Vanko guy. He was hired by him and the same with Stane. He goes by the name Naruku. But I can't fine any trace of this guy excising." Tony said

The name rang some bells in the agents mind but weren't sure if it could be the same person. Tony saw the look in their eyes and knew they knew something.

"You know who he is?" He asked

"The name sounds familiar but we have to double check on it to make sure." Nick said

Then they went to talk about what Tony has been doing lately and then gave him a lithium dioxide to slow down the toxin so he could fine a cure for it. Tony said he had tried everything but apparently he hasn't and that his father had the answer.
