DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter or the Avengers just to make this clear. This is a Tony/Steve paring, don't like it don't read. This is a child fic and it will mainly be building up Ellyza's trust and love towards her new parents and I won't be doing time leaps I hate them. So enjoy your new chapter.
Chapter Two: How Ellyza met Steve.
Ellyza wasn't sure how it happened but she never imagined her trip to Stark Industries would lead her to eating ice cream with Tony Stark himself in his home.
He didn't push her to speak or to explain why she was in one of his many closets but she didn't expect to still be in Stark Towers, under normal conditions when the bullies pulled tricks on her she would be dropped off the orphanage without as much as 'you're welcome'.
She kept glancing up at Tony in between bites of her vanilla ice cream but he didn't say anything nor looked up from his own ice cream. It made Ellyza nervous. No one has acted like this around her. Ever
It wasn't till Ellyza looked down at her ice cream did Tony clear his throat to speak. Ellyza looked up to him at that moment but still didn't say anything.
'Hey doll, I need to ask you a very important question okay?" Tony told her.
Ellyza nodded to nervous not to agree.
"Ok doll, do you think you can tell me how you got locked in the closet sweetie?" he asked.
Ellyza looked down. Her empty bowl of ice cream did nothing to soothe her churning stomach, but she nodded. She had to be brave, Tony Stark saved her she had to be brave she chanted.
'The other kids don't like me" Ellyza whispered.
She didn't look up to see Tony's reaction but if she did she would have seen his face twist in pain as he thought back to his own childhood not understanding why no one liked him or was on his level.
"Do they not doll? Well that doesn't matter because all you're going to need is me and Steve and I like you a lot already" Tony smiled at her, patting her head when she made a disbelieving scoff at his feelings.
"Who needs Steve?" a voice behind Ellyza questioned.
"Steve my darling!" Tony called
"Meet Ellyza" he said motioning to Ellyza with his hand.
Ellyza turned around to meet the baby blue eyes of Steve Rogers. Captain America never looked so surprised to see a five year old Ellyza in the kitchen eating ice cream with Tony.
He walked around to the island and crouched down to Ellyza's level.
"Hi" he whispered
"Hi" Ellyza whispered back. Ellyza didn't know it then but when Steve looked into her emerald green eyes he fell in love with her and when he glanced up at Tony he knew Tony felt the same.
And Steve promised himself that there wouldn't be anything that wouldn't stop him from getting Ellyza to smile.
