"Sir?" JARVIS called out as he stopped all music from playing in Tony's lab up in the Avengers tower. Tony, however, continued on with his work for his company. He was clearly absorbed into his work. "Sir?" JARVIS called out again, "I seem to have had on one of the names you told me to look out for last year." JARVIS continued on, knowing Tony would be listening regardless of him giving no indication that he was. At this, Tony stopped what he was doing and turned around to let JARVIS show him whatever information he had found. In front of Tony, a hologram screen appeared with a newspaper article of a recent car crash, Tony was feeling anxious just from the title of the article. However, as he read on, he was relieved that it was an older man that had passed. He felt bad for the women as her husband has just passed away and she didn't even know that as she was in the ICU ward in an induced coma. Tony started to wonder why JARVIS had brought this article to his attention until he saw that two boys had also been in the accident, one being a Harry Potter, that was the same age as his biological son.

"JARVIS! What about Harry's parents? Why was he with other people? Is he the son of a James and Lilly Potter?" Tony fired off his questions to e JARVIS in a moment of panic, not knowing at this point in his life that some of his fears were coming true. That both James and Lilly Potter had passed away, and that Harry had not come to live with him for some unknowable reason.

"In an article from 2001, it explains that a James and Lilly Potter died in a tragic murder while at home and that their one-year-old son was sent to live with Lilly's biological sister, Petunia Dursley, Sir," JAVIS told Tony, as another article appeared before him, this one clearly being older than the previous one, as it looked like it had been scanned before being uploaded online. Tony skimmed over the content of the article, not a lot was given about what happened, other then that the couple was found dead in their house on the morning of November first, 2001, it was presumed to be murder and there one-year-old son had gone into the care of Lilly's sister, Petunia. This was the Lilly and James that he helped all those years ago.

Tony stepped back in a moment of shock, all three had agreed that if anything were to happen to the couple, then Harry was to be put into Tony's care and be raised by him. Tony couldn't have understood why he wasn't made aware of their deaths. It's already 2013, their deaths happened almost 12 years ago, and he had no clue. Tony's brain was already starting to turn on how to get the kid into his care, but first, he was putting his kid in a private ward, and he would get the best treatment no matter how small his injury.

"JARVIS, I want you to get into contact with whatever hospital Harry is staying at, and get him into a private room, and make sure it's the best one available, next I want all medical fees of Harry's to be paid by me, and not the company, I don't need them getting a sniff of this, especially Pepper. She might make this worse then this needs to be." Tony started to tell JARVIS as he walked out of his lab and headed to the elevator to take him to his private floor. "JARVIS, I also want you to get a DNA test ready at the same hospital, and get Harry's DNA and mine tested, also make sure the London Apartment is ready for people to stay in it. How long is the quickest flight to London?"

"Sir, the quickest flight to London would be six hours and forty minutes, travelling with British Airways. I have also notified the hospital of the changes, and they will be made admittedly."
"Okay good, book a flight for me at six am tomorrow morning, and make sure it's nothing short of first-class," Tony replied JARVIS. The elevator to came to a halt, and before Tony was about to step out, he realised it wasn't his floor. The doors dinged open, on walked a sweaty Steve Rogers, who had obviously been working out in the training area, just above all the labs and just below all the living quarters. "You look like you're thawing out there Capsicle. Careful, otherwise you might just melt!" Tony commented as Steve walking in.

"I'm not so sure it's me that should be worried. You're not looking so could there Tony. Anything we should be worried about?" Steve asked Tony as he could clearly see something was wrong with Tony.

"Nothing that needs the Avengers help with, just some personal problems I got to deal with." Tony stopped for a moment, thinking if he should tell Cap, like most people he told secrets to, went, and spilt them. However, this was Captain America he was speaking to, and if he knew anyone who could keep a secret, as long as it didn't go against the law, then it was this man right here. "I have a kid in London, and before you ask, I've known about him before he was born. I helped out a couple who weren't able to have any kids because the guy was in some sorts of an accident at school." Tony stated before Steve questioned him about the kid being legitimate. "He was in a car accident the other day, and his parents have been dead for a few years now, and I don't know why I wasn't notified, but after I told JARVIS to look out for their names after the invasion last year, I finally know where the kid is. I'm going to head to London tomorrow to go and see the kid and get custody of him, so I might not be here for a long time, anywhere from a few weeks, to a couple of months." Tony told Cap straight, so he wouldn't get curious if he found himself alone in the tower too often.

"Are you going with Pepper?"

"No, she would only make things worse than they need to be. She would want to do a press release immediately, and I think the kid and I are going to need some time getting to know each other. Plus, she had the business to run"

"Tony, I don't think this is something you should be doing alone." Oh, Tony knew damn well that he shouldn't be going in this alone, but Pepper was off that list and Tony didn't really think he had anyone else on that list who he could ask.

"I know Cap, but I'm just going to have to."

"Tony, I'll go with you. I'm going to leave you only with a kid that's just been in a car crash, let only leaving the two of you to figure out how everything should move forward. Let me come with you, I can help you out when needed, and it can give me a better understanding of the world." Steve told Tony, he wasn't going to sit back and to let Tony handle this all on his own.

"Okay, I'm not going to argue on this one, as I honestly need someone to do this with me. The plane leaves at six am, making sure your old arse is there on time." Tony joked as the elevator came to another halt and Steve got off at one of the living quarter areas where he was probably staying.

"Well do Tony." Steve chuckled as he walked away from the closing elevator. Tony road up to one more floor before he walked out and continued with his list of things for JARVIS to do.

"JARVIS, please inform Pepper that I won't be available for the next few weeks, because of some personal issues, and that I will be in London for the time being and that as soon as I can, I will tell her what is going on. Also, book another seat for the flight tomorrow if you haven't already." Tony entered his room and realised he would need to get something set up for the kid as well. "JARVIS can also get someone in to come and re-do one of the guest rooms on my floor, get it done in neutral colours, the kid can decide on colours later, get the person to make it more suitable for children. Also, get them to sign a contract so they cannot tell anyone, otherwise, they will have a lawsuit on their hands. Also, buy any gadgets and gaming devices a thirteen year might possible have or want." Not that Tony didn't already have many ideas already forming in his head to create Harry his own ones.

"Will do Sir. Would you also like me to get a full wardrobe for yourself and Rogers, so you don't have to worry about taking too many clothes with?"

"That's a brilliant idea JARVIS, I knew there is a reason as to why you are my favourite A.I."

"Sir, I am your only A.I" JARVIS commented back sarcastically.

Tony quickly packed a small back for a few days, knowing JARVIS would have him sorted before he started to create a list on his phone of a few things he can get finished on the plane, so he didn't have a complete earful from Pepper about not doing work. He could still go over plans or come up with new ideas while he was away from his labs. Tony would also need to start researching schools in the area, to make a strong case for Harry to completely move over to America. He didn't how hard that job might be.

Tony also knew he was going to need some form of sleep tonight as it was already nearing eleven pm, by the time he had finished everything he could think of needing to do regarding, he was going to lose about half a day on the plane trip, if they only left at six am, they were only likely to reach London at six pm, meaning he would have to wait for the next day until he could go to the hospital.

The next day Tony met Steve on the way down the elevator, as they were both heading to the same place. They both shared a silent car ride to the airport, as Tony was half awake, he hadn't had his morning cup of coffee yet and was not going to function like a normal human being until he had it. Steve just sat silently reading a book, giving Tony some glances every now and then to check up on them. Once in the airport, there had been a small argument from Steve's side about flying in first class, but Tony just gave a glare, that even Steve knew to stop talking at. They bored their plane just shy of 6 am and they both settled into their respective seats and kept themselves busy the entire time. Tony started talking after his morning cup of coffee, much to Steve's amusement, not that he showed at, and after the plane had taken off and breakfast had been served and eaten, the two didn't share many words with the other, as they both got absorbed with what they were doing.

After landing just after 6 pm, the two got some takeaways from one of the many food places at the airport and headed for Tony's apartment. They both arrived there a little bit sticky from the plane, to find the place spotless and the kitchen stocked with food, not that either of them knew how to cook.

"Tony is this not a bit much with the grandness of your homes." Steve was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of money Tony was spending.

"Ole fellow, I've had this apartment for a long time. This is where I stay if I have to be in the UK for some reason." They both went their separate ways after that, bidding each other good night and agreeing that Steve would stay behind when Tony went to the hospital.
