After, Tony and Selene had introduced the triplets to grandparents then sent off to play with younger Tony before they had to go home; they introduced the twins to both Howard and Maria.
"May we hold them?" Maria asked.
Tony nodded.
"Son, I'm not sure what to say exactly, but I am happy that you found happiness; even if it was done strangely." Howard said with a smile.
"Thanks, Dad." Tony said.
"Tony, may I ask what that light in chest is?" Maria asked curiously.
Tony knew that he didn't really want to tell this story but said, "It's an arch reactor and it's what's keeping me alive."
Maria gasped and Howard's eyes went wide with shock.
"How? Why?" Howard questioned.
So, Tony told them everything that happened from the beginning that had happened to him after their deaths. When he finished telling them; both Howard and Maria were in tears.
"Tony, I am so sorry." Howard said.
"It's not your fault, Dad." Tony said.
"But..." Howard said trailing off.
"Tony is right, it's not your fault, Mr. Stark. If I know Tony, like I do; he's always looking to the future of Stark Industries. Which he has done with clean energy." Selene said.
Tony sighed.
"What's the matter, son?" Maria asked curiously.
Tony looked at his mother and said, "By being here, we may have changed something in the future and I don't know what to do."
Selene realized how hard this was for Tony because once they leave it was obvious that the spell will activate like it did when they had visited her fifth year, and her parents. Then she said, "Tony, instead of messing with their memories...maybe it could seem like a dream to them?"
Tony looked at his wife and said, "But why would you allow that, Selene?"
"Well, let's just say that I did the same for my parents, Sirius, and Remus when we saw them. So, it would only be fair to do the same for your parents, love." Selene said.
"Thanks, love." Tony said.
"You're welcome, Tony." Selene said.
Howard noticed that his future daughter-in-law loved his son and was actually amazed by the relationship between them. Then he heard Maria say, "So, your wife would make seem that we dreamed all of this, Tony?"
"Yes because she saw the happiness in your eyes, Mom as well as Dad's eyes and she doesn't want to take that away from you." Tony stated
"But wouldn't it still affect the future, son?" Howard questioned.
"No, it wouldn't affect the future, Dad. It will let keep the memory of us visiting but basically make feel like a dream to you and Mom." Tony stated
"Plus, it's the least that I could do for you and Maria as well as Peggy and Jarvis because you're family after all." Selene said.
Just then, the triplets along with young Tony came back into the house. T.J. was carrying the young Tony because he fell asleep and then handed him to Grandpa Howard; Grandma Maria handed the twins back to their mother.
Moments later, they disappeared and a special spell was casted over Howard, Maria, Tony, and the others in that room. However, unbeknownst to Tony and the others; they did affect the future in some way this time unlike the other times that they had traveled into the past.
Back to the Present once more...
The Stark Family appeared right in front of everyone. The cloak rushed over to get the twins from Selene and took them to the nursery before Selene had time to thank the cloak.
Steve walked over to Tony and said handing an envelope to him, "This was delivered, Tony. I don't know what it is but it was addressed to you."
"Thanks, Cap." Tony said taking the envelope from Steve.
"So, what was it like meeting Tony's father, Selene?" Steve asked while Tony opened the envelope.
"It was interesting." Selene said while Tony decided to walk way for a moment.
"SELENE?!" Tony practically yelled in shock.
Selene immediately walked to where Tony was with Steve right behind her. Then she said, "What is it, Tony?"
Tony handed her what he got out of the envelope as she took it from Tony; she was completely stunned to see that it was a picture of a painting that had Howard, Maria, and young Tony along with several others. Then she looked at Tony who was reading a letter that came with the photo.
Steve was shocked to see a painting and it was shocking because Steve recognized Peggy who was in the painting and possibly Tony and his family visiting Howard in the past.
"Tony?" Selene questioned seeing tears forming in his eyes.
"My mother painted that painting in photo. From what I can tell by this letter, Obadiah sold it to an art museum unaware that it was to remain at Stark Industries." Tony said.
"Do we know who sent this?" Selene questioned Tony.
"No. However, I recognize the paintbrush strokes because I would watch my mother paint when she wasn't playing the piano." Tony said.
"What did the letter say, Tony?" Selene said
"The letter just told me that the painting was literally found in my childhood home and that it was put on display at the Stark Industries museum." Tony said.
Selene knew her husband hadn't been expecting for his mother to recreate the moment when they were all together in the parlor of the Stark Home; but there was something else that was bothering him or was it something that surprised him? She wasn't exactly sure at the moment.
Just then, Stephen and Christine walked in with the cloak on Stephen's shoulders.
Steve suddenly said, "Tony?"
Tony looked at Steve and said, "Yeah, Cap?"
"I went to visit Peggy, the other day and she handed me this photograph." Steve said handing the photo to Tony.
Tony took the photo and he was stunned to see that it was him and Selene waltzing in the parlor of the Stark home. He wondered who had taken the picture. Then he looked at Steve with a questioning look.
"Peggy told me that Howard had the butler, Jarvis that your AI is named for; test out a camera that Howard had only wanted for the family. She also said that Maria had painted a family portrait of what it would like if you had visited them when you married had children of your own. She said that your mother called the painting, 'The Stark Family Legacy'. However, Peggy said when Howard and Maria had foreign visitors from London known as Lord and Lady Peverell who had actually been visiting New York; they were stunned. " Steve said.
Tony didn't say anything but understood because he knew that his father would've found a way to somehow keep the knowledge of seeing the future to himself.
Bucky walked in and saw Steve, Tony, and Selene along with Stephen and Christine. Apparently, the other Avengers weren't back from their missions yet for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the English Countryside...
Someone or something was planning revenge on none other than Selene Stark and has managed to stay under the radar of S.H.I.E.L.D.; so no one would see this coming not even Mrs. Stark herself. The only thing is that this someone or something was from another Universe and was determined to do away with Selene Stark for some reason.
Back at Grimmauld Place...
Stephen was watching Tony and Selene; when he suddenly felt something disturbing within the Multiverse so suddenly and he didn't like it.
"Stephen, are you okay?" Christine asked worriedly.
"No, I am not okay, Christine." Stephen said.
"What is it, Stephen?" Christine asked curiously.
"I just felt something quite disturbing within the Multiverse suddenly and it has me worried, Christine." Stephen said.
"What do you mean, Stephen?" Christine asked curiously.
"In the Multiverse, Christine, there are alternate versions of ourselves; someone or something seems to killing off the alternate versions of Selene and I don't know why." Stephen said.
"Stephen, are you saying that our daughter is the only one without an alternate self now?!" Christine said.
Stephen nodded.
"Will this someone or something becoming here for her?" Christine questioned.
Stephen nodded and then said, "I believe that someone or something is already here and planning the attack."
Christine gasped in shock.
"Christine, I am not sure what to do? I mean I know that I'm the Sorcerer Supreme but the fact that someone or something is after Selene terrifies me because it feels like it wasn't that long ago that I had just met her and learned of her marriage to Tony." Stephen said.
Christine realized how stressed out Stephen was over this and said, "We may have to let Tony and Selene know, Stephen. Considering it involves both them and their children."
"I know, Christine. It's just that I don't want to worry them, especially the grandkids." Stephen stated.
"Do we know of anyone or anything that would or could possibly have a grudge against Selene?" Christine questioned Stephen.
"The only people that I'm aware of that would have grudge are those in which a bloodline feud was issued to. It could be possible that grudge could've carried on in their alternate selves in another Multiverse or universe. " Stephen said.
Selene had just decided to go check on the twins and Sere followed her; while Tony had T.J. and Mags. On the way to the nursery, Sere screamed as soon as their Mother suddenly fell out of the blue.
Tony followed by T.J. and Mags came running. They were followed by Stephen and Christine then the rest of the Avengers.
"Sere, what happened?" Tony questioned.
"I don't know, Dad. Mom just suddenly fell out of the blue as we were walking towards the nursery to check on Howie and Siri." Sere answered her Father.
Tony started checking Selene over and he started to worry when he wasn't getting a pulse from his wife. He immediately told the children to stay back and motioned for Stephen to come forward.
Stephen walked up to Selene and he could see the panic in Tony's eyes which was kind of bad because Tony could possibly have a panic attack. From what he knew from Rhodey aka Iron Patriot was that Tony had had a really bad panic attack after the events that took place when Selene and Pepper were in trouble because some guy wanted use something to make Selene and Pepper perfect when to Tony; they were already perfect.
"Well?" Tony asked worriedly.
"She's okay but she seems to be in a coma like state. However, something or someone could be attacking her while she's in this state, Tony." Stephen said.
"Why would someone or something attack my wife?!" Tony practically panicked.
"I can't be sure but it feels like magic from the Dark Dimension or what the Magical World here calls the Dark Arts." Stephen stated.
Tony was panicking but sighed because it wasn't going to do any good and he had to be there for the triplets and the twins should something truly happen to Selene.
"Dad?" T.J. said.
"Yeah, Teej?" Tony said.
"Is Mom going to be okay?" T.J. asked.
"I don't want to Yes and No to you, Teej. I just wish that there was some way to help your mother. " Tony said.
Stephen was trying to think when Sere said, "Dad! The arch reactor!"
"What?" Tony questioned.
Tony looked down at his arch reactor and sure enough it was glowing a brighter blue than usual.
"Dad, why is it glowing brighter than usual?" Mags asked.
"I'm not sure." was all Tony said.
Stephen looked up for a moment from checking on Selene and said, "Tony, someone or something is trying to hurt Selene but why, I don't know. However, may be having everyone one close by may help in theory to help."
Tony just nodded and said, "Sure thing, doc."
Inside Selene's unconscious mind...
Selene was there and she was reliving her worse memories with the Dursleys followed by her memories of Hogwarts that were not so pleasant.
Up until the moment that she met Tony in Vegas. Where she had been trying to start anew and was happy; until Loki's attack on New York.
Followed the by the biggest battle of them all which was against Thanos and it was this moment that held her tightly.
Back in the room...
Severus saw how bad it looked from his portrait and said, "This something or someone may be torturing Selene with all her bad memories."
Stephen was shocked to hear this and said, "You mean that this something or someone has trapped Selene in her nightmares?"
Severus nodded then suddenly Selene screamed, "TONY!!!"
Tony paled as he heard his wife scream his name.
The triplets looked at their father and saw that he had paled which meant that for their mother to scream their father's name was that she was probably having a nightmare about involving their father.
Tony could only think of two times that Selene felt as if she lost him and that was during the battle of New York and the battle with Thanos or possibly even before they met each other. He could never shake the feeling that there may have been more to it when he met Selene for the first time.
Tony sat down at Selene's bedside. He took Selene's hand in his; while the triplets placed their hands on their hands on top of their father's hand that was holding their mother's hand.
The twins wanted down from Christine and Natasha who had been holding them. Christine and Natasha watched as the twins crawled over to their father and held each of their father's legs.
The Avengers watched as Tony and his children were just there next to Selene hoping that she would pull through. They also began glowing in a brighter blue light just like the arch reactor.
At that moment, Arthur Weaseley came followed by the others that were family and friends to the Starks.
"What happened?" Arthur asked.
"We're not exactly sure, because when Selene went into the coma like state; Tony's arch reactor was glowing a brighter blue than usual. Also, we can't get near Tony or the kids." Natasha said.
"James and I will watch over Tony and the children while they are with Selene." Lily said from their portrait that was hanging in the room.
"I guess that I'll tell the mutt and wolf what is going on." Severus stated leaving his portrait in the room and heading back to the portrait that was in the parlor.
The Avengers and Stephen along with the others head back to the parlor.
Suddenly Thor and Loki appeared to tell them what Hemidale's son had seen because they had visited New Asgard for a while.
"Where's Man of Iron?" Thor questioned.
"He's in the master bedroom with his children. They're sitting at Selene's bedside because she's in a coma like state. They aren't leaving her side, Thor." Clint said.
"As anything changed with Man of Iron's arch reactor?" Loki asked.
"It has started glowing a brighter blue than normal. Why do you ask, Loki?" Steve said.
"When Man of Iron married again but this time did it in front of family and friends. Did any of notice something different?" Loki said.
"Other than that something seemed a little different but not by much." Steve said.
"When they said their wedding vows did they add something to it?" Loki asked again.
"Now, that you mentioned it, Tony and Selene used the same wedding vows that they did when they were married in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, I heard the line or lines, 'I combine my bloodline with your bloodline for we are one in eyes of Magic and amongst our family and friends to redo our wedding vows on the same day in which we married before. You shall always be my husband and I shall forever be your wife. For we are truly soulmates that have had similar experiences in a way of our lives.' That was the strangest line well lines in a wedding vow that I've ever heard." Quill stated.
Stephen blinked for a moment or two as what he had heard Quill repeat that. Then he said, "My Vanshanti!"
Everyone looked at Stephen wondering what had him saying that.
"What is it, Dr. Sorcerer?" Thor said.
"You two said that Hemidale saw something?" Stephen said.
Both Thor and Loki nodded not sure where the Sorcerer Supreme was going with this.
"Well, what if he saw something that he couldn't exactly explain?" Stephen suggested.
Suddenly, the portrait of Sirius Black spoke up by saying, "So, Harriet's worse nightmare has come true, then."
Everyone looked at Sirius's portrait in confusion.
"What do you mean by that, Sirius?" Wong asked.
Sirius sighed and said, "When Selene went by Harriet; she confided in me that she was having nightmares of Lily's and James's deaths along with nightmares the times that she faced Voldemort in two of her previous years at Hogwarts. Then she started going into detail about a man in Afghanistan who would have bright blue light in his chest. She was describing things that didn't make sense at the time."
"Why didn't say anything before, you mutt?" Severus questioned.
"Because I wasn't exactly sure what to do and it was difficult since Selene was being called a lair by people who praised her for being the Girl-Who-Lived and trying to say that she was insane. I'll admit that Selene didn't exactly know how to handle the Press back then; but she sure knows how to handle them now and I believe that's Thanks to Tony." Sirius said.
"Padfoot?"
Sirius turned to see James enter his portrait and asked, "How are they?"
"Tony and the children are still glowing blue like his arch reactor. When I asked him about them glowing; he said that he didn't know why they were glowing. But you asked how they are, Padfoot?" James said, "They're not moving and both Lily and I can see that Tony is really worried as well as the children."
"Sirius mentioned that Selene had talked to him about some nightmares that she had while growing up and one nightmare that was literally shocking." Stephen said.
"Well, it might be best if you saw mine and Lily's memories if you think that it might help in some way." James said.
"It might." Stephen said.
Suddenly, Draco said as if recalling something, "Lord Potter, I recall during our fourth year that after the Tri-Wizard Tournament and the return of Voldemort that was a strange symbol on Selene's wrist. It was circular with what looked like to be a triangle in the middle and lines shooting out from the triangle."
James's eyes suddenly widen at hearing that.
"Prongs, what is it?" Remus questioned.
"Moony? Padfoot? Selene was fourteen when the Tri-Wizard Tournament happened at Hogwarts, right?" James asked.
Both Sirius and Remus as well as though who were there nodded.
"What does that have to do anything?" Clint asked curiously.
James looked at Clint and said, "Mr. Barton, may have everything to do with what is happening now."
"What do you mean, Mr. Potter?" Natasha asked curiously.
Everyone was waiting on James's answer in order to see what he would say; but they didn't really expect the answer that he gave which was, "It meant that she was emancipated in the eyes of Magic and that her soulmate was in trouble. Usually, a soulmate mark doesn't show unless one of them is in trouble."
"Funny, you should say that, Lord Potter; because Tony mentioned that he would dream of a young woman that was very beautiful since he was five years old." Rhodey said.
"WAIT A MINUTE ! SAY THAT AGAIN?!" Sirius shouted.
Rhodey seemed surprised and said again, "Tony had told me that he had been dreaming of a beautiful young woman since he was five years old."
"Oh, Merlin! The one time that they weren't thrown back in time by the Weasel and Beaver! And yes, I am using the names that Draco had called them! They manage to screw up the future a bit!" Sirius said.
