Who Adopted Who? - Queenie_Beanie - Thor (Movies) Loki, begrudgingly enough, was starting to like the child.
See he had a hellish trip and a hellish re-welcoming to Earth. If you can call it that. So he had let his magic whisk him somewhere safe. He ended up in a library. He shape shifted into a spider believing no one would bother him. “Ow! Loki found himself stuck as a spider. But Peter was such a powerful good. So Loki has no qualms with influencing the playing fields to Peter’s favor. Tony Stark / Harry Potter. When in Doubt, Add Lasers (Sequel) It takes five years after he goes blind for Tony to crack the Extremis problem, and nearly another six months before he and Bruce have it refined to the point where it’s an acceptable risk.
They take another two months to thoroughly vet the possible surgeons and neurosurgeons until they find reputable ones with enough skill to be trusted, ones who are also willing to do the work discretely and sign the non-disclosure documents for a truly heart-stopping amount of money. Bruce, at Tony’s insistence, is present for the surgery as an observer. Even with the increased public use of arc reactors, he doesn’t trust many people with the smallest, most advanced version currently running his heart.
After this, it will run not only his heart but also his eyes and Extremis. The Iron Man suits are all built with their own arc reactors now; hurray for redundancy. The neurosurgeon, Dr. Iron Man Yes, Tony Stark...Not Recommended. Chapter Text Iron Man Yes, Tony Stark...Not Recommended Them moving in is actually more than a little awkward.
It’s not like Tony hadn’t already been planning on it, the single A left perfectly at the top of the tower, none of the other letters of his name surrounding it, is as close to an omen as he’s ever likely to see. When he remodelled and redecorated he created space for all of them. He was however, waiting for Bruce to calm down enough to come back from whichever part of India he’s holed himself up in.
All of which is why it’s so awkward when, at one of the post clean-up debriefings Fury makes them go to after making them help with rubble removal in their full gear so the press can identify them doing it, the man barks, “Stark. Steve blushes and says, “Yes sir,” before Barton, who’s already opened his mouth can object. And that’s that really, Fury’s always been a demanding bastard and Tony can hardly say they’re not invited.

Chapter Text XxXxXxXxXx A xXxXxXxXxXx O xXxXxXxXxXx N xXxXxXxXxXxX Agent Phil Coulson rubbed his eyes tiredly as he flipped through a mission report from a junior field agent.
Rolling his eyes, he wondered what had happened to the writing skills of trainees these days. The current report he was reading looked like it was written in some archaic Sanskrit-type language, penmanship horrendous. And that was being generous. Coulson took a sip of his coffee and cringed when he realized it had gone cold. Weaving his way through the labyrinth of hallways that comprised the underground levels of SHIELD headquarters, Coulson strode determinedly towards the break room in search of fresh coffee. “Dr. “Well, if the guy can’t follow a simple order like ‘Don’t ogle my chest,’ then how can you expect him to listen to the more difficult orders SHIELD might give him? “Yes, well I guess it is a good thing no one asked you,” Coulson responded blandly. Coulson rolled his eyes and pushed off the counter. Blue As True As Blue Can Be (Child Abuse) The Seat of Memory (Mentions of Child Abuse) It's not about the chair, Tony thinks as he stares at the broken remains.
It's about so much more than the stupid chair. The chair had been Howard's from the mansion on 5th Avenue. It was a dark, rich piece of furniture, with smooth crimson leather, overstuffed with plush that still held the faint scent of cigar smoke even all these years later.

During Loki's attack, the chair had been completely destroyed.
Really, it wasn't about the chair. His relationship with Howard had never been great. When he was old enough to understand that Howard didn't treat him right, it was too late. Howard was not a good father, and he was not a good man. But there had been some nights when that could be forgotten.
