It's short! Don't kill me! I've got another 500 or so words done or something but I'd rather the chapter be short than it to drag out!

THANK YOU to every single person who's read, reviewed, favourited or put this story to their alerts! It means heaps to me! So thank you! You're all stars (not the yellow horribly drawn ones but bright and high in the sky :D )

Guess what?

Sorry, you'll have to find out :P

Chapter 3

He'd been keeping his eyes wide open ever since he found out. He kept a lookout on the muggle news since, someone as famous as 'Tony Stark' would be almost international news... Right?

Even though it was still a bit hard to believe, he couldn't let a possible family member get hurt before they even met and so he used all the means available to him to make sure nothing too drastic happened to his impossible brother.

He just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

It happened when he was enjoying an afternoon off with Ginny and Lily cuddled up on either side of him. James and Albus were both at school and so the house was a little quieter.

The patronus came flying gracefully through and the lynx opened its mouth and spoke with Kingsley's voice.

"He might be needing your help. I'm not sure how strong or powerful this 'Iron Man' suit is..."

Harry immediately jumped up, grabbed his Invisibility Cloak as an extra precaution and quickly kissed Ginny and Lily on the cheeks before heading out quickly to the disapparating point.

Ginny watched, half-amused, half-worried, before turning to her daughter.

"Right, we all know how horrible your father is with talking about family and explaining situations. What do you say we give him a couple of hours before we go check on him?" she asked. The whole family enjoyed a nice, juicy adventure and Lily was no exception to the rule even at nine years of age.

She ran up the stairs to her bedroom and changed into the prettiest and cutest clothes knowing that getting her future-uncle wrapped around her pinky at an early stage could and would be important.

He managed to get to the Ministry in record time and saw that Kingsley was already waiting for him. Without waiting a second longer, they walked briskly towards Kingsley's office. There, another man met them.

"Mr. Potter, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." The man spoke with a heavy American accent as he gripped Harry's hand.

"Harry, this is the American Minister of Magic, Mr. Rob Turn."

Harry nodded. "The pleasure is mine." He replied. "But, what's happening?" he jumped straight to the matter at hand.

"I'm sure Mr. Stark can handle his situation well but I was told that you are keeping an eye out for him so, let's not waste any more time, shall we?" He walked over to an awkwardly bent can before picking it up and offering it to Harry who touched it just as Kingsley did and a warm blue light engulfed the air as they went spinning.

The American Minister looked around, horrified at the scene. There were drones lying all over the floor that was covered in shimmering, crystalline glass.

"Ahhh... Mr. Potter?" he asked, almost in panic as he saw that the slim figure running down the road.

"He does that." Kingsley said with a grim smile as he ran to catch up to Harry.

Harry ran. He had caught sight of the blazing red figure and done a quick pointed spell. He came up in time to see two suits crash into water. Not wanting to disturb the Iron Man's concentration but also wanting help, he stepped behind a large tree and put up shields and defensive spells whenever necessary.

After what seemed a couple of hours, Iron Man finally knocked the other robot unconscious. Letting out a breath of relief, Harry wondered what he should do next. He can't just step out from where he was after all.

The sound of a rebooting system filled the air. He was quite surprised when they grasped each other's arms in greeting. Thinking it would be best to stay where he was for the moment, he listened to their argument. It was just like Ron and Hermione!

He glanced up as something glistening in the sky caught his eye.

"MOVE!" he shouted as he ran into the open space, casting a large shield against the incoming missiles.

He received two robotic stares that were quite disconcerting, but there was something more important to deal with for the moment than two robotic men.

He felt the now-familiar rush of adrenaline racing through his body.

The fight was long and brutal. The adrenaline rushing through all the fighters, all were acting on instinct, fighting in his own way that they can hardly remember what they did, what had happened.

As the three men stood around the fourth whom they had called 'Vanko' he felt wonder. It had been quite some years since he had been in a proper fight. Not that he wanted to go through them again, but one still does miss old habits in some strange way.

"Pepper." he heard Iron Man whisper.

Suddenly, Harry felt a metallic arm around his middle as the other rook off into the night with Harry tight in his grasp, high in the sky, racing fast towards one of the building's roof.

Harry took a deep breath as he settled after the second bout of adrenaline of almost flying once more.

"James Rhodes. Who are you?" Rhodes introduced himself as he had flipped his mask to reveal himself.

"Harry Potter." he stared down at the exploding drones. It was amazing, how far these muggles have come, have advanced.

"Right..." Rhodes trailed off. "How the hell did you do that?" he unexpectedly exploded with the question.

"Erm... oh... are you a friend of Anthony Stark's?"

"Tony? Yes? Why?"

"Oh. Well, I guess you'll be finding out soon then." They both turned and watched as another two people joined them.

"Ehem." Rhodes cleared his throat loudly.

"What?" Stark ground out as he turned around from Pepper. "Oh. Yes. Who're you?" he asked scathingly.

"Harry Potter." Harry replied smoothly, ignoring the slight bite to his tone.

"How in the worlds did you do that? Is it like, some very advanced technology? Why don't I know about it?" his rant came out fast as his mind came up with many alternate theories.

"Magic." he interrupted his barrage of questions.

"WHAT?! Stop being ridiculous! There is no such thing as magic!"

"I think you just might, Stark." The voice of Director Fury floated over as he glared at them in all his eye-patchy glory.

"What do you mean? Who're they?" Tony asked as he noticed the other two figures with the Director. He felt Pepper and Rhodey step in closer to him.

"There's something we need to talk about."

IT'S SHORT! I WILL fix that up! Give me bout a week or less for the next update. I'll try to get it to 2000 :D

Thanks again guys! Storm.
