The return of Tony stark part 3
Tony sat by the fire as Morgan ripped through her Christmas presents sent by so many that Tony and Pepper had kept some back "She going to have enough presents to last till her birthday!" Pepper exclaimed as they stored a few away. They had returned to their Lakehouse which they only managed to get out to during the holidays these days. They had taken up a house back in New York which was easier for all their work and Morgan loved her new school. Tony was due to meet up with Xavier in a couple of days thanks to a couple of false starts. Life didn't always cooperate. Tony stood stretched out wandering to find his favourite coffee, Peter and May were due in a few hours. They still had a lot of remodelling to do at their new house tucked away in the suburbs. Tony wished he had a little more input rather than leaving it to interior designers. Christmas dinner had gone surprisingly well leaving Pepper with May and Morgan with a movie Tony and Peter looked over the latest plans for the new SHIELD headquarters. 'I think they are great Mr Stark, really great' Peter said enthusiastically downing a can of soda. Tony smiled 'so it doesn't look like to modern art museum or anything like that?' Tony asked pulling up an Ariel view 'and this?' Peter smiled 'woah that's awesome' as the Ariel view revealed the building's formed the SHIELD logo. Tony ruffled Peter' hair which was getting difficult as the kid was now taller than Tony. ' Oh I almost forgot follow me kid' Tony said striding out the door and calling FRIDAY ' showtime FRIDAY' to which the AI responded' yes boss' They stopped on the steps as a brand new bright red Audi E-Tron pulled up ' merry Christmas Pete' Peter stared wide eyed at the car, he hadn't allowed Tony to buy him a car before happy with his slightly beat up truck' Mr Stark this is too much' Tony shook his head' kid you deserve it and you always think of others before yourself, let your self have this one yeah? Peter hugged Tony who choked out a laugh as Pepper and May looked out from the porch 'Tony really does care for Peter; I am glad that Peter has him 'May said with tears in her eyes as Pepper hugged her.

The school remined him to much of the many boarding schools he had been shipped off to as a child to feel comfortable. Tony loosened his tie and stared around the vast office as he waited for the professor. The young woman who had led him in here had bright pink hair and a warm smile Tony could have sworn her eyes had glowed a similar shade of pink as she turned to leave.
'Ah Mr Stark it is a pleasure to finally meet you.' Tony stood up and walked toward the professor shaking his hand. He then followed admiring the design of the sleek wheel chairs and couldn't help but consider how it could be improved and utilised for others. Tony cleared his throat, 'Professor I would like to thank you for agreeing to meet with me' Tony said sincerely. Xavier sat a little forward 'The world owes the Avengers a great debt and I know you have made many a personal sacrifices Mr Stark' Tony shifted uncomfortably 'Please call me Tony and there are others who have made greater sacrifices to get us to this point'. Xavier considered his words 'Ok Tony why are you here?' Tony shifted under the professor's gaze as a young woman walked in 'apologies professor this came urgently' she handed him a slim tablet. 'Tony meet Jean grey a former student of mine and now teacher' Tony rose and shook her hand 'pleasure to meet you 'Jean accepted his greeting and shared a final look with the professor before leaving' She doesn't trust me, does she?" Tony asked as the door closed, Xavier didn't answer. Tony decided to answer his question 'Due to use of the infinity stones there has been a surge in mutations and it is making some anxious. I understand the trouble in the past and I know that sadly my own father may have been involved in some of those events. A good friend advised me to come here a man I trust with my life. I have many allies good people whom are willing to follow my lead. I came here to ask if we could work together to stop these pockets of violence caused by what I believe given my intel to be rogue group of mutants. After all the world has been through, we cannot allow our selves to be torn apart to much has been sacrificed to get us here." Tony took a breath and the water the professor offered. 'You have changed a lot Tony I have observed your progress through the years and I am glad you have cthis request' he paused a moment and Tony felt his heart pound against his ribs. 'I would be honoured to work with you and your allies going forward but we need the correct rules and regulations to be put in place to protect us all' Tony sighed a breath of relief ' I have the best legal team in the world on my payroll professor I promise you this will work".

Tony stretched out in the chopper alone with no pilot he had a least been able to catch up on some sleep. The Expo was to start in January, the opening night had been sold out for months. Rumours were flying around the net regarding the hot topic of if Iron Man who make an appearance. Tony had not worn the suit since the battle at the Avengers compound. He had already planned to arrive in one of his classic suits via a Quinn jet. But he had to concentrate on his current destination, Wakanda. T'Challa had extended an invitation and Tony had already been working with Shuri on what he called a 'flexi Stark pad'. Shuri wasn't too happy with that name and he yet to win an argument with the strong-willed young woman.
The king was eager to work with Tony going forward on various projects mostly along the lines of education and career opportunities. Tony was finding it had to keep costs down on this new tablet which could basically be folded to the size of a credit card. He also had expanded his satellite networks to improve communication. FRIDAY alerted Tony to their proximity to the Wakandan shields and he sent the relevant access code which was swiftly accepted via the speakers. The chopper landed gently and Tony slipped on his customary sunglasses, especially helpful against the bright African sun. T' Challa's guards the fierce women who Tony had seen in battle flanked the king who welcomed Tony personally. "Greetings Tony, I hope you are well?" T'Challa steered Tony toward the wide glass doors' 'Yes I am well thank you, and you?' T'Challa smiled 'yes all has been well here and I understand you have been busy' Tony nodded and brushed his hand through his hair 'yes the world stops for no man'. The feast was extravagant with dancing and music and afterwards Shuri took Tony out to explore the city. Tonty smiled as Shuri shared a variety of stories and her various projects, Tony knew she would get along famously with Peter. Tony stopped in front of a stall filled with various handmade items. Shuri greeted the stall holder as Tony picked up a delicate blue and silver necklace on closer inspection, he realised it was virbranium beads. Shuri smiled 'it is quite beautiful' she spoke to the stall holder again. 'my daughter Morgan she would …' Shuri cut him off 'He says it is a gift for your daughter' Shuri held out small bag and Tony delicately dropped the necklace in, 'thank you' Tony said quietly to the smiling man touched by such a simple gesture of kindness.
Tony sat back as music pounded in the background while Shuri explained the various ways they have used virbranium over time. Tony's mind span with possibilities though he was well aware of how closely they guarded the Virbranium, Tony understood. T'Challa strode in leaving his guards behind, Tony stood respectably as Shuri laughed. "Is my sister running away with her ideas again?' Tony laughed 'I am struggling to keep up I will admit' T'Challa sat beside Tony as Shuri spoke to one of her fellow scientists. 'Tony I am going to grant you a quantity of virbranium on a yearly basis, years ago we feared to allow virbranium to leave our borders. Through my own experience and on my sister's advice I trust you to use it wisely' Tony sat stunned staring at the king. T'Challa smiled and patted him on the shoulder 'Come my friend we shall go and eat and you can share your experience with meeting the Professor Xavier"

Morgan sat leaning on Tony's shoulder as they sat by the lakeside watching the sun set, Tony stretched out his legs and pulled out the small bag he had carried it from Wakanda,' Here you are little miss' Tony said handing her the delicate bag. Morgan rarely asked for gifts she was always happier to build something with Tony. like the tiny robot they had built together for her science fair. Tony sure hoped it would win first prize, it was built by Stark's after all. Morgan threw her arms around Tony's neck 'Thank you Daddy!' She held it out and Tony clipped around her neck ruffling her hair as he finished. Morgan cried out for him to stop messing with her hair and settled back beside him. 'Are you excited daddy for the expo? Tony looked over the lake and smiled 'sure I am Morguna it will be great just wait and see'
