Several months had passed since the incident with Obadiah had happened as well as Tony announcing that he was Ironman. Tony surprised Pepper by handing the reins of CEO of Stark Industries to her since she was like a sister to him in a way.

Both Tony and Harriet thought that Pepper deserved this promotion; however, Tony did let Pepper know that if she ever wanted him take back the CEO position that he would.

A day later...

A Natalie Rushmore was Tony's PA; however, Harriet was aware who she really was. She quietly spoke with Tony about Natalie which Tony nodded understanding what Nix was telling him.

Tony had just finished doing a workout with Happy in which he and Nix had created the gym with different scenarios.

"Natalie, I bet you couldn't get a hit on Nix." Tony stated as he saw her take Happy down.

Harriet turned towards Tony and said with smirk, "Tony, you know Teddy and his girlfriend will be visiting over the Summer Holidays?"

"Since when did the kiddo/cub get a girlfriend?!" Tony questioned.

Pepper giggled because Nix just threw a curve ball at Tony as payback for his curve ball that he had just thrown at her.

Both Natalie and Happy blinked.

Then Harriet entered the ring as did Natalie. Natalie was surprised by Harriet getting up after she was taken down.

Suddenly, Harriet said, "Tony calls me Nix which is a shortened version of the nickname in which my godfather gave me. However, I believe the phrase is 'I've been through hell and back' considering that I have had a burden put on my shoulders since my parents were murdered and went up against their murderer seven times."

Natalie blinked hearing that and continued fighting with Nix. Apparently, Natalie met her match in Nix and before Natalie could say something; Nix said, "Just so you know, I'll fight by Tony's side no matter what."

Next thing, Natalie knew was that she was on the mat in the ring and Nix was getting out of the ring.

"Sir, young Teddy and his girlfriend have arrived."

"Thanks, Jarvis. Just tell them that we are in the gym." Tony stated.

"Yes, sir."

Meanwhile, somewhere in Russia...

A man named Ivan Vanko was tending to his ailing father; who was bad mouthing Tony Stark. He also said that should be Ivan and not Tony Stark in the news.

Ivan screamed in rage as his father took his last breath and vowed to get revenge on Tony Stark.

Back with Tony and Harriet...

Teddy and Victoria entered the gym where Harriet was wrapped up in Tony's arms and kissing passionately.

"Um, did we miss something?" Teddy questioned.

"Tony's just thrilled." Pepper stated.

Natalie looked at Harriet asked, "How are you able to do what you did?"

Harriet looked at Natalie and said, "I literally traveled the world and learned different cooking styles as well as fighting styles plus, I've had a broken arm. I've also had a 60ft snake's fang punctured my fore arm with deadly venom and survived."

Natalie's eyes went wide at hearing that.

Moments later, Teddy and Victoria found themselves on Tony's private jet with Harriet, Tony, Happy, Pepper, and Natalie heading to Monaco.

on the jet...

The stewardess served them their lunch and brought them their drinks.

"Okay, I'm curious, kiddo. When did this happen?" Tony questioned curiously pointing between Teddy and Victoria.

"Well, technically Victoria and I were friends until the start of fourth year during the Winter Holidays, Uncle Tony. " Teddy said.

"And?" Tony said.

Harriet was trying so hard not laugh at what Tony was doing; because Tony was sort of acting like a father at the moment.

Pepper, Natalie, and Happy were completely confused.

"Mr. Stark, Teddy is a perfect gentleman. He told me how you make his Aunt happy and that you have amazing friends that are like family to you. So, it is an honor to meet the man responsible for bringing happiness to Teddy's Aunt." Victoria said.

They all continued talking until they reached Monaco.

In Monaco...

Everyone was preparing for the races. Tony, Harriet, and the others were enjoying themselves in VIP Box.

Victoria noticed that Tony and Harriet were staying close to each other.

Teddy noticed it as well and asked Pepper, "Miss Potts, what's up with Uncle Tony and Aunt Harriet? I mean they haven't mingled with other by themselves?"

Pepper sighed and figured that Teddy should know. So she said, "There was an incident where your Aunt was kidnapped and Tony went after the kidnapper."

Teddy was stunned as was Victoria to hear this.

Suddenly, they heard, "Tony, I see that you have a lovely lady with you."

"Who's that guy?" Teddy questioned pointing to the gentleman talking to Tony and his Aunt.

"That's Justin Hammer. He's a rival company. " Pepper answered.

Moments later, after Tony and Harriet had spoken with Justin Hammer. They had left the room. Harriet had been fully aware that something was wrong with Tony and stayed by him constantly.

Tony was aware that Nix knew that something was wrong and stayed by his side.

Finally, Tony decided to have some fun but he wanted to do something for Nix. Before he went out on to the track; he grabbed Nix's hand and pulled her into a private room.

"Tony, what's wrong?" Harriet asked worriedly.

"Nothing, yet but I want to do something and when we get back to the US; we'll make it official in a private ceremony with only our trusted friends and family. " Tony said.

"Tony?" Harriet questioned.

"I, Anthony Edward Stark also known as Tony Stark and Ironman, declare to honor and love, Harriet Jayme Selene Potter-Black aka Nix for all my days. I'll stand by her through the tough and hard times as well as with whatever is thrown our way. I combine my bloodline with yours for always and forever, Nix. So smote it be!" Tony said with a smile.

Harriet realized what Tony was doing and responded, "I, Harriet Jayme Selene Potter-Black aka Nix, declare to honor and love, Anthony Edward Stark aka Tony Stark and Ironman for all my days. I'll stand by him through the tough and hard times as well as with whatever is thrown our way. I combine my bloodlines with yours forever and always, Tony. So smote it be!"

Then Tony and Harriet sealed the Magical vows with a kiss and a light flashed around them and the family rings appeared on their fingers along with wedding bands that were unique.

When they broke from the kiss, Harriet looked at Tony and said, "Tony, there's reason you wanted to go ahead and say a magical vow?"

Tony nodded.

"Will you tell me?" Harriet asked.

Tony sighed and said, "The metal from the reactor in my chest..."

Harriet realized what Tony was saying and said, "Tony, I will never leave you and I'll be with you every step of the way. Plus, I have a feeling that Teddy and Victoria will be questioning us later."

Tony chuckled and said, "I believe you're right, Nix."

"Tony?" Harriet said.

"Yes, dear?" Tony said.

"Do mind if I change out of this dress? It's so not me." Harriet said.

Tony blinked for a moment and said, "I would rather you be comfortable in your clothing than you feel trapped."

"Thanks , my love." Harriet said as she snapped her fingers.

Tony was gobsmacked at how beautiful Nix was in her new outfit and asked, "When? How?"

Harriet giggled and said, "Tony, just as you were working on your suits; I was working on my old Auror robes sort of bringing them up to date if you will."

"Well, they look nice and I believe they are more maneuverable than when you first got them." Tony stated.

Harriet nodded.

"So, do have a feeling that something might happen?" Tony questioned.

"A little bit and you kind of confirmed it when you decided to do Magical vows suddenly, Tony; so by Magical terms we're married. We just have to..." Tony kissed Nix and said, "I plan to, dear."

Harriet sighed and said, "Tony, know that I will fight beside you because you're my husband now through magic."

"And you're my wife now through magic and I am glad to have you by my side, Nix." Tony stated.

"Tony, I won't leave you ever. Now, I believe you're wanting to do something crazy and I'll be with you in case something goes unexpected. " Harriet said.

Meanwhile, back in VIP Box...

Pepper, Happy, Natalie, and the two teens were talking when Justin Hammer approached them.

"Whose kids are these?" Justin questioned.

"Why do you want to know, Hammer?" Happy questioned.

"They shouldn't be here." Hammer said.

"We came here to spend the Summer Holidays with my Uncle Tony and Aunt Harriet." Teddy stated.

"Excuse me, did you call Tony your uncle?" Hammer questioned.

"Yes, because my Aunt is fiancé. " Teddy stated.

"Speaking of Tony and Harriet? Where are they?" Pepper questioned.

"Look!" Victoria said pointing the TV screen.

Teddy, Pepper, Happy, Natalie, and the others looked at the TV screen. They saw Tony taking the driver's place in the Stark Industries car and Harriet kissed Tony for luck.

"I don't believe this." Pepper stated.

Moments later, Pepper, Natalie and Happy along with Teddy and Victoria were in the car. They made their way to the track to get Tony and Harriet into the car.

The car was tossed around and both Tony and Harriet made their way to the car. Tony told Teddy or Pepper to throw him briefcase which Pepper did considering Teddy was trying to calm Victoria down.

Meanwhile, in London...

Draco and his family were visiting Andi followed by the Weaseleys coming to visit as well.

Hermione turned on the TV for the children and then went to talk with the other adults.

Scorpius turned it to the news because Teddy usually watched it. He was stunned at what he was seeing and shouted, "DAD! MUM!"

Draco and Astoria heard Scorpius and ran into the room followed by the others.

"What is it, Scorpius?" Draco questioned.

Scorpius looked at his father and said, "Teddy and Victoria are in the news along with Cousin Harriet and her fiancé."

"What?!" Draco said.

Everyone was now sitting down and watching the news. They watched as both Tony and Harriet fought this man with wips that were electrical.

They watched the entire fight until the very end. After the news cast was over; Molly ripped Bill a anew one telling him off for endangering Victoria like that.

'Mum, you're aware that Harriet had special training, right?" George questioned.

"What do you mean, George?" Molly questioned back.

George realized that Harriet had never told anyone except those she truly trusted that she had special training.

"Well?" Molly said.

"Sorry, I forgot that it was classified." George stated.

"Classified!" Hermione screamed.

"So, you're aware of the muggle word?" Draco questioned looking at Hermione.

"I know the meaning of the word, Malfoy! But how do you know the meaning of the word?" Hermione said.

"Simple, since I'm CEO of Black Industries at the request of my cousin since she decided to travel and I wanted to expand the company into the Muggle World." Draco stated.

"What do you mean, Malfoy?" Ron said.

"Harriet's special training is classified because she was working for the special forces." Draco said.

"Special forces?" Molly questioned.

"It's what some muggles would call jobs that are very secretive like spys." Draco stated.

"Harriet isn't a spy!" Hermione said.

"We know that, Granger-Weaseley. However, if someone asks Harriet where she learned to fight; she simply replies that she worked in the special forces." Draco stated.

"Then why did George say that Harriet's special training was classified?" Ron questioned.

"Who knows? Harriet probably wants no one to know about something. I mean Harriet was an Auror for a while." Draco stated.

Back in Monaco...

Tony, Harriet, and the others were now leaving the race track after the guy was captured.

They headed back to the hotel. Also, Teddy's phone rang and he answered, "Hello?"

"Teddy, are you and Victoria okay?"

"Yes, grandma. Uncle Tony and Aunt Harriet took care of it."

"Are Tony and Harriet okay?"

"Yes, Uncle Tony and Aunt Harriet are okay, grandma."

Apparently, Tony and Harriet were wide eyed that Andi was asking about them considering they had delt with Obadiah the previous months.

Natasha aka Natalie noticed the shocked looks on Tony's and Harriet's face.

"Since when did Tony wear a metal suit?! And what did Harriet do to her Auror robes?!"

"I don't know, grandma. But I can only guess that something happened after Uncle Tony proposed to Aunt Harriet after he left for business in Afghanistan."

"It seems that Harriet even seems to find trouble even while being engaged to a billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist."

"I think trouble finds Uncle Tony as well considering what just happened moments ago."

Tony and Harriet just smiled as Teddy was still talking with Andi. Then Teddy put Andi on speaker.

"Tony? Harriet?"

"Hello, Andi."

"Hello, Andi."

"You two are okay, aren't you?"

"Yes, we are okay, Andi."

"Nix and I were thinking about getting married on the beach in a private ceremony."

"What?! When?!"

Pepper nearly choked.

Natalie's eyes went wide.

Happy was smiling.

Teddy hadn't expected to hear that.

Victoria was just surprised as Teddy was.

"Well, when do plan to say the I do's?"

"Next year on this day unless something happens." Tony answered.

"Okay, well in the meantime be careful, bye."

At the hotel...

"Aunt Harriet must be tired." Teddy said.

Tony just smiled and said, "Yeah, she met Justin Hammer and hates him."

Teddy and Victoria blinked at hearing that.

Tony brought Nix closer to him and placed her on his lap then slid out of car carrying Harriet bridal-style. Her head was resting on his shoulder while her arms were around his neck.

"Is it just me or is Tony a pro carrying Miss Nix that way?" Happy questioned.

"We'll be heading home tomorrow, Happy." Pepper stated.

Happy nodded.

A few days later...

After they returned from Monaco; Tony was celebrating his birthday and things kind of got out of hand.

The following morning, S.H.I.E.L.D Agents were at the Stark Malibu home. Fury was talking with Tony and Harriet when Teddy and Victoria came walking in and found a mess.

They wanted to know what was going on; but Harriet looked at them with a look that said 'don't ask' so they kept quiet.

Harriet was standing right next to Tony as Fury spoke with them. An agent dropped something in front of Tony and Harriet. Then Phil said his goodbyes to them both and left.

The others soon followed and after they left, Harriet fixed the mess.

"Kiddo?" Tony said.

"Yes, Uncle Tony?" Teddy questioned.

"Your Aunt and I have some things to do; so don't you let Happy show you around Malibu because somethings have changed a little bit." Tony said.

Teddy nodded and Victoria followed.

Harriet followed Tony not saying a word. He opened the suitcase like thing that had belonged to his father and there was an old movie reel.

Harriet helped by setting things up. Then played the reel for Tony. Tony was reading his father's notes and listening to his father's voice. Then he heard, "Tony?"

Both Tony and Harriet looked up.

"Tony, I don't have the technology available to me that will be needed to complete this ; but I know that you can. I did all of this for you because you are my greatest creation, Tony."

The reel was finished with Howard and holding a young Tony.

Tony was very emotional right now and Harriet held Tony for a few minutes then they got to work immediately. It took them at least three hours or less to do what they needed to do.

Then Harriet used her magic to fix the house before Teddy and Victoria returned.

A few days later...

Rhodey appeared at the Hammer Expo which didn't exactly pan out like a Stark Expo did apparently.

Teddy and Victoria were in shock from seeing the so called Hammer armor because it was basically a rip off of his Uncle Tony's armor.

Then Tony appeared in the original and only Ironman suit. Which of course, lead to things getting out of control.

Both Harriet and Pepper along with Teddy and Victoria were standing next to Natalie whose real name was Natasha Romanov aka Black Widow.

Justin Hammer approached and was trying to help. However, he was arrested and made a snide comment to Pepper; which Harriet retaliated by punching him in the nose and saying, "You messed with my family, you dipshit!"

Pepper and the others were stunned for a moment or two.

Justin Hammer was holding his nose and cursing; the cops just shook their heads as they took him away.

"Teddy?!" Harriet said.

"Yes?" Teddy said.

"Take this and you as well as Victoria and Pepper and go!" Harriet said.

"But?" Teddy questioned.

"Go! Now!" Harriet said.

Teddy did as he was told while Natalie had already left.

Harriet made her way outside to see the damage that was done; when she was suddenly swooped up just the Hammer suits were exploding.

Tony landed on a building with Harriet still in his arms. Then he put her down as his helmet started to malfunction.

"Tony?" Harriet said.

"Yeah, Nix?" Tony said.

Harriet kissed Tony passionately which surprised him at first and then he returned it with the same passion.

Suddenly, they heard a wolf whistle and broke apart to see Rhodey, Pepper, and the kiddos.

Both Tony and Harriet just chuckled.

"Pepper says you should have seen what Harriet did to Justin Hammer." Rhodey said.

Tony looked at Nix with a questioning look and asked, "What did you do, Nix?"

Harriet huffed and then said, "I punched him in the face and caused his nose to bleed, Tony."

Tony chuckled and said, "I wish I could have seen that."

Then Harriet immediately turned towards Rhodey with a look that both Teddy and Victoria knew as did Tony.

Rhodey noticed that Harriet was looking at him for a moment.

Victoria whisped to Teddy, "Now, I know where my Mum got that look."

"What?" Rhodey questioned confused.

"Rhodey, you do realize that you are wearing Stark property?" Harriet said.

Rhodey nodded.

"Tony considers you family, Rhodey. However, what you did was a shock and hurtful because Tony not sees you as a friend but as brother just as he sees Pepper as a friend and sister. It hurts to know what you did." Harriet said.

"Why are you telling me this?" Rhodey questioned.

Tony knew what was happening and wrapped his arms around Nix immediately.

"I'm telling you this because I was hurt by four people who I thought were friends and family. At the age of fourteen, I found out that I had been emancipated due to a situation and when I went to the bank I learned that the four people that I trusted including the Headmaster of the school I went to in Scotland were stealing my inheritance that I received from my parents when they died to protect me and I was a year old. They betrayed my trust but the rest of their family wasn't aware of it." Harriet stated.

Teddy and Victoria were in shock to hear this and they were beginning to understand why Harriet wouldn't talk with Molly, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron much.

Pepper was getting upset after hearing that.

Rhodey was starting to realize why Harriet was telling him this and it was because Harriet thought he had betrayed Tony. Then he looked at Tony and said, "Tony, I am sorry for taking the suit."

"It's okay, Rhodey. We're still friends as well as family. I think that Harriet wanted you to understand how I was feeling about you taking the suit. However, you are forgiven just take care of it." Tony stated.

"Sure, Tony." Rhodey said leaving the lovebirds.

Pepper found herself coming over and hugging Harriet; which Harriet returned the hug even though Tony was still holding her around the waist.

Then Teddy and Victoria took Pepper with them to find Natalie and Happy.

Tony smiled at Harriet because they were alone now.

"Tony?" Harriet said.

"Yes, Nix?" Tony said.

"I'm so happy that I met you that day at the Café because you gave me something that no other guy could." Harriet said.

"What's that?" Tony asked curiously.

"You gave me a chance to be myself and you didn't really care about my past but you enjoyed hearing about the craziness of my life and there times when you wanted to defend me regardless of knowing that I could handle myself. So, thank you for that, Tony." Harriet said.

"You're welcome, love." Tony said, "I feel the same way with you, Nix. Even though it is somewhat similar except for what you went through. I just never got to say goodbye to my parents." Tony stated.

"I know, Tony. Who knows but I think our parents are probably in shock or happy for us?" Harriet said.

"I guess they would be both because they probably weren't expecting anything like this. But then, they're happy because we found love." Tony said.

Harriet smiled and said thoughtfully, "When we finally marry; I have a feeling that our parents will be there in spirit to support us."

Tony returned her smile and said, "I believe you're right, Nix."

"Tony?"

"Hm?"

"Don't you think we should head home, sweetheart?"

Tony chuckled and answered, "Yes, dear."

Tony picked Nix up bridal style and flew off into the direction of their home.
