Book Of Male Reader One-Shots:

The Taoist son of Tony Stark.

Tony's POV:

Currently I'm in my workshop, trying to find a better replacement for the Arc reactor that's both keeping me alive while slowly killing me in the process. As I'm doing this I tinker with one of the gauntlets from my newest suit. Finally getting it to work I begin to remove it but I suddenly hear a scream from upstairs, 'Pepper?!', keeping it on I rush up the circular staircase.

"Pepper! What's wrong? What happened?", I asked. She was kneeling on the floor, her back was facing me. Alerted by my voice she turned around and in her arms was a boy, I'm guessing to be around 12 years old, he wore an unusual set of (f/c) robes and had long (h/c) hair just reaching his lower back his eyes were closed but you could see the emotion in his expression. He was in pain, tear marks were still present on his face.

"Pepper I need you to turn him over.", she was at first confused by my request but complied. Her hands were covered in blood, looking at the boy there was a large clean slash starting at his right shoulder blade and diagonally arcing down to his left side just above his waist.

Kneeling next to Pepper I noticed she was in shock, staring at her hands that were slightly shaking. "Pepper, I need you to go get the med kit. Go wash your hands and get the kit. We don't know how much blood the boy has lost so I need you to be quick about this.", she slowly complied not saying a word and headed to the kitchen. I know that wasn't the best move to deal with this situation but if she took her time it would possibly waste the boy's. Picking him up I carry him down to the workshop, soon Pepper arrived and we begin stitching the wound.

"W- We should call an ambulance.", Pepper told me, I did consider it at first but I didn't think that was the best option we don't know much about him.

"Pepper, can you tell me what happened? How did the boy get here?", I inquired. Taking her off the subject of a hospital. We put the boy in a guest room and she directed me to where I found them.

"I- I was coming to tell you about the contract for transferring the company to me but I heard an unusual sound almost like a thunderstorm that was happening right next to me. When I turned around I saw this portal it had red, pink and purple clouds around the edges of a black circle, that's when the boy fell through it. I looked back at the portal and saw a glowing pair of red eyes that got bigger and bigger, I screamed and the portal suddenly vanished.", she told the story. It was so unusual but when I had asked Jarvis for the security feed it showed just what she had explained.

"Okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to wait for the kid to wake up and then you can ask him what had happened.", I started.

"Why do I have to ask him?", she inquired.

"You found the kid and I'm not great with children especially if they just fell out of a mystical portal of destiny.", I humorously answered. She didn't like the joke but agreed. All we need to do now was wait, Pepper decided to sit next to the boy that I placed on the guest room bed. I also asked Jarvis to keep any news of the boy a secret, I'd rather not get the media involved with this right now.

Y/n's POV:

"You disgrace of a child! How dare you bring this thing into our home!", mother shouted at me. She attempted to grab me but was just a few inches away. I tried to run but tripped because of the added weight from what I was carrying.

I heard a clatter of metal, "give me that beast!", she cried. I wrapped my arms around it tighter using my back to protect it in anyway I could but that's when I felt it, my back was riddled with pain. That's when I realised, mother attacked me. Slowly I began to lose consciousness I felt like I kept on falling until I finally hit the ground. There was a distant scream then nothing.
