It Takes A Village

The Avenger's children always attract trouble somehow, it was a well known fact. But, sometimes, the children rescue their parents. Hank stole my disclaimer for spare parts, I guess that's what I get for writing stories around the Avengers

It Takes A Village

It was about 6PM when Pepper had began filling out the release paper work so they could get out of that hospital. Tony had been pulling pranks all day long and his pranks had began to get on Pepper's nerves, though Aleron seemed to be enjoying them. The pranks ranged from elaborate booby traps to such childish things as putting an electronic whoopee cushion under the chair where she was sitting. A few minutes later Tony had given up and decided to put the toys in the duffel bag. About 7PM, the nurse on duty came and got the papaer work and they left the hospital, but not before running into Dr. Yinsen.

"Are you ready to go home?" Dr. Yinsen asked Aleron.

"Yes sir." Aleron responded quietly.

"I'll come by every now and then to visit." Yinsen said, turning his attention to Tony.

"Just call first," Tony said.

The left the hospital about 8 or 9PM and it took about 20 minutes to get back to the mansion. By then, Aleron was ready to go to bed. Both Tony and Pepper took turns reading pages from the storybook. After tucking Aleron in Tony turned off the lights and shut the door. Everyone was soon asleep.
