Tony/Allison Blaire AKA Dazzler
At first, it's nothing new, the singer and the billionaire, getting together. Just another stunt for Tony Stark to pull, another front page cover Dazzler can get on for People Magazine.
That's what the tabloids think. Hell, that's what Tony thinks.
He's wrong.
Because she gets it. Ali gets it. She gets how frustrating the living the high life can be, she gets how annoying the paparazzi are, she gets how stupid the things they have to do are.
And then she sees through his bullshit smile and he can see through hers and that's it. Tony's a goner. No one else has the same perspective that she has except him and it's so much easier. So much easier to not pretend in front of her. So much easier to just be him.
And then the tabloids pick up on it. They realize that it's not going to just end a week later. Tony shows up to a concert. Ali shows up to a public board meeting. It takes off from there. The paparazzi get pictures where they're actually genuinely smiling at each other, where they're holding hands because they want to, not because it's expected out of them.
The paparazzi start leaving them alone after that. They can't get anything embarrassing out of the two of them anymore. And when it comes out that Ali's a mutant? Tony doesn't budge. The press won't dare to touch her.
And he wouldn't have it any other way.
YAY!
