When Pepper and Rhodey arrived at the Metro hospital at exactly a quarter to four; Jane Wright was waiting outside. She greeted them with a forced smile as she led them inside. The first person to break the awkward silence that had developed was Rhodey.
"Would it be rude to ask why you have bought us here?"
Jane Wright laughed, although she sounded condescending, pleased that she knew more information that the pair. She replied knowingly.
"I think you have to see to understand the situation at hand."
Pepper and Rhodey shared a confused glance. Jane Wright led them to Floor 7, room 308. When they arrived at the room the duo was astounded to see a small child drawing in a hospital bed. When the pair walked in the boy lifted his head; and ceased to draw. Jane then guided them out of the room and into the hallway. Pepper and Rhodey were both befuddled as to why they were shown this young boy.
"Ms Wright, with all due respect, would you care to explain to us why you bought us down to this hospital, and have shown us this boy?"
Ms Jane Wright answered Miss Pepper Potts with shown disdain, it was obvious that she didn't enjoy this job.
"Well Miss Potts, that boy in that room, was recently bought in a month ago after his house burnt down in a fire. His father earlier in the evening sadly passed from a collision with a truck, that case is still being investigated by the police. But when his mother arrived at the scene, she was deemed irresponsible as she had earlier been intoxicated while out in a club. When Mr James here arrived at the hospital he required surgery, after both his legs had second-degree burns and his left arm had been broken, the second-degree burns healed; but his arm is still broken. The damage to the bone was quite severe after a piece of debris landed on it. It is unsure if he will be able to use it again. When we deemed his mother irresponsible and an unfit parent, we went and did a DNA test to check if he had any other relations. On the mother's side, there was no one as she had been fostered as a child with no known relations. But on the father's side, it came as a surprise; It turns Elizabeth Allen, the boy's mother, had an affair with a man during her marriage to Reynolds Allen, and the child was the biological son of Tony Stark. After we received this information we had to check again due to it being suprising, but the results came back the same."
Pepper and Rhodey were astounded by the news they heard and both had similar thought surrounding the child in room 308.
"You mean to say that the boy that is sitting in that room is the son of Tony Stark."
Jane Wright rolled her eyes at Rhodey's comment, irritated that she had to answer again.
"Yes, the boy in that room is the son of Tony Stark. His Name is James Johnathon Allen, until further notice. If you do not wish to recognise him as Mr Starks son then he will be sent to foster until someone adopts him. If you do then he will stay in this hospital until the paperwork is sorted. I will have to take my leave now, unless you need me further, here is my card if you need to make contact with me."
As Jane Wright left Pepper spoke up and sat down on one of the chairs outside the room.
"That little boy has had his life turned around in a month, without a mother nor father. His house has been burnt down, and now he finds out that the father he thought he had, wasn't his real one, no his mother had an affair with a billionaire, who he is the son of. That's messed up Rhodes, messed up. And now he might not even have a father, because his one; his one is out there somewhere."
Unbeknown to the pair outside, James had just heard their entire conversation. He got up, placed his pens in a pot and tidied up his drawings, and went to where the pair sat. He then introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm James, what are your names."
Pepper and Rhodes looked up, surprised at the interruption. The boy looked to be 10 at the most, he had similar facial features that could easily be recognised as a starks. With the same mop of brown hair. Hazel eyes that although were from his mother held too much simlarity to the missing genius, hsi wisdom and pain for someone so young. He had a soft face, with a developing jawline. The boy was handsome now, you can only imagine what he will look like in the future. Whilst Pepper was stuck in a trance Rhodey answered for her.
"Hey we've got the same name, I'm James too, but most people call me Rhodey. And this lovely lady here is Pepper."
James cracked a smile at the strange name 'Rhodey' and decided to question it.
"Why do people call you Rhodey?"
"That name was given to me by my best Mate Tony, he gave it to me because of mu surname Rhodes."
When Pepper finally exited her trance which had slowly become weird, she decided that she couldn't let this boy go to the sharks, and even if Tony doesn't get back, Pepper would look after him herself. With the help of Rhodey of course.
