It is 01:30PM and Tony stark is sleeping peacefully on his bed after coming home late in the night, why was he late? well the answer is quite simple HE IS TONY STARK...so obviously he has to attend a lot of parties and has to enjoy well finding beautiful women to seduce is obviously an added bonus .so he is still sleeping coz last night was the same he went to a party and returned home quite late in the evening or early in the morning well depends how you see it When suddenly he jerked awake," oh god why do I keep seeing those eyes those beautiful sparkly adorable yet sad and tired eyes that child why do I keep remembering him why can't I forget him "thought tony. Finally realizing that he won't be getting any more sleep he woke up and went to take a quick bath

After taking the bath tony went to grab a coffee from the kitchen but he still can't take his mind off the child he kept remembering the first time he met him

FLASHBACK

TONY is walking on a street wandering aimlessly around the city he has just attended the meeting and sealed the deal with the company for which he came here to England and now he is free, Pepper went to do some shopping so now he is walking on the sidewalk alone

when suddenly something caught his attention, a woman is walking in front of him well if she can be called a woman her face looks like that of a horse she is very thin and long and walking quite fast and muttering something angrily to the child with her tony thought

that she might be the mother and scolding the child for something he might have done, but the child looks so innocent that tony thought he can't do anything wrong when suddenly she took hold off the child's hand and turned into the alley tony got curious and started following them from a safe distance .when he turned into the same alley what he saw shocked him the lady was hitting the child and holding his hand in such a way that made Tony realized that the child's shoulder is surely displaced and that he is in severe pain she is ignoring the child's crying and muttering something which sounded like 'freak ', ITS YOUR FAULT ', 'SORRY AUNT PETUNIA'

Tony can't see and ignore it anymore so he went near them and grabbed the hand of the lady and pushed her aside she was so shocked with being seen that she just stood aside .then he went to the child who is still crying in pain when the child looked at him his heart clenched and stopped beating, his chest constricted and a sudden feeling of protectiveness washed over him looking at him were a pair of beautiful green eyes like which he has never seen before but they looked dull tired innocent and he saw the pain in them lots and lots of pain, then he sat down in front of the child. The child looked to be around 2 years of age he is very thin and looks to be underfed and wearing clothes which are quite large for his size so obviously, they can't be his own, he started talking to the child -

HELLO KIDDO DONT CRY YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED. IS THIS LADY TRYING TO KIDNAP YOU?

The kid kept on crying but shook his head tony told the child that he is going to call the police which was a big mistake because the child frantically started and started apologizing so tony stopped and cut down the call. Then Tony started asking the child for any injuries to which

the child shook his head and looked towards the lady.

After trying and failing to console the child tony went to the lady and threatened her to never manhandle or abuse the child when he asked about her behavior she just said the child is an attention-seeking freak and is always involved in some kind of trouble like his parents who died in a car crash to which tony replied 'he looks like a nice kid to me but whatever the reason maybe you can't hit a child he is in pain you still don't seem to care 'and then he went away calling happy to pick him up.

END FLASHBACK

Deciding that he needs to know more about the child he told Jarvis to search anyone named petunia living near surrey England .at the end of 2 hours tony has everything available with him .he also found out that she had a sister named Lily who died in a car crash with her husband named James potter but their child somehow survived and is sent to live with petunia Dursley being the last living relative of the child but what tony is frustrated about is the fact that there are no details regarding lily and James after their 11 birthday.

After thinking for a long full hour tony decided that he want to visit the child, he doesn't know why he has a weird feeling, so just to calm himself he texted Pepper that he is going to England for some personal work and commanded his pilot to prepare the jet.

When he reached the address his first instinct was to go back the street is lined by several houses looking exactly the same the color of the houses the types of flowers planted in the flower patch even the length to which the grass is trimmed is exactly the same. so on reaching the fourth house on Private drive he knocked politely on the door.

after some time a whale of a man opened the door he is so fat that Tony started wondering how can he fit in the door when the man asked him who he is jerking tony out of his curious thoughts, Tony replied politely 'my name is Tony stark and I am here to meet your wife. '

The man went inside the house after sometime tony heard him shouting to call his wife .tony not knowing what to do entered the house and the first thing he noticed is how clean the house is not just picture-perfect cleanliness but hospital-like cleanliness and the smell of chlorine confirmed that the woman liked to keep her house hospital clean, not knowing where the living room is, he carelessly opened the first door he saw it was the kitchen and the smell coming from it is amazing, he then entered the room and saw a child standing on a chair and making omelet on the stove his hands barely reaching the pan, to say that he was shocked will be an understatement he stood there for god knows how long when suddenly he heard someone calling him from behind when he turned around he saw petunia standing in front of him as if a 2-year-old cooking is the most normal thing in the world.

'WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE ?'

This brought tony out of his shock .he replied-

'SORRY MRS Dursley for coming unannounced, my name is Tony stark I don't know whether you remember or not but we met around a month ago, I just came here to see your nephew and now if you will be kind enough to tell me why is the child cooking food, where were you? and what were you doing ? what if any accident happens? he is a child and should not be even allowed near a stove.'

Say that after this no one really knew what happened but after a lot of shouting and swearing tony found out that lily was the popular daughter and petunia is still jealous of her and that jealousy is now coming out in the form of anger on the innocent child she is starving the child-abusing him both physically and emotionally and her husband is no better he supported his wife's behavior and even helped her in disciplining the freak, in the end, tony did whatever any smart intelligent man would have done he punched the man in the face making sure to break the nose then went to the child and took him with him out of the house.

Once outside the house Tony kneeled down and asked the child-' hey kid ... my name is Tony ...umm..the way your aunt and uncle treated you is not ok ...do you understand what I am saying ? tony was not sure how to explain everything to a child but when the child nodded he breathed a sigh of relief and continued 'so as I was saying what they did was wrong so now the police are going to come and take them away '

the child looked relieved for a few seconds before he started crying, Tony has no idea why the child is crying so he started asking 'WHAT HAPPENED KID, AREN'T YOU HAPPY THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER HIT YOU '

'I-I DONT KNOW SIR, TH-THEY ARE MY AUNT AND UNCLE SIR IT IS BAD TO COMPLAIN THEY TOOK ME IN I-I ...'

'NO KID IT IS NOT BAD TO COMPLAIN SOMETIMES, They are bad people who are supposed to take good care of you but they didn't so now the police are going to punish them '

Tony picked the child up in his lap and the involuntary flinching of the child caught his attention and after crying for some time the child felt asleep on tony's shoulder. Tony seizing the opportunity took the child inside the car called the police filing a complaint and told his driver to drive to the nearest hospital.
