A Stark is Born

"You stupid idiot!" the woman yelled as she threw things at him. "You got me pregnant!"

The man raised his arms in protest and smirked. "It takes two to tango." Then a knife grazed his cheek. "Maybe one... one is enough. Only I can tango."

"Idiot," she rolled her eyes.

"Hey! It's fine. I'm rich and hot, and you're hot!" he exclaimed as he got closer and took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. "Our baby is going to be rich and hot. All good."

"Not all good!" she yelled. "You make weapons, and I use said weapons. The baby will probably end up shooting me from inside the womb."

"Simple fix," he said, getting up and moving closer to her. "Don't give the baby guns." He rubbed his hands together. "Now, when do we get to experience the heightened sex drive?"

She slapped his chest and scolded him. "Anthony!" She really felt like she was going to explode inside. "Come on, I need to blow off steam." She grabbed him and flipped him over her shoulder, carrying him to the bedroom with a frown on his face.

"Yep, that's a real turn-on," he said sarcastically before looking at her ass, his frown turning into a smirk. "A real turn-on."

Mercedes 'Misty' Knight and Anthony Edward Stark had met years ago when Misty's arm was amputated. He was the one to give her the bionic arm. There was a connection when they met, both hot-headed and intelligent people. In Tony's words, "hot" was emphasized, causing tension between them every time they saw each other. This also led to frequent bickering, which Tony saw as a challenge he was willing to take. Months later, they saw each other at a gala while she was hunting for a criminal. Tony used the opportunity to bump into her at every step, making it hard for her to catch her guy. After catching him, she encountered Tony again. They started arguing until Tony kissed her, and she didn't stop him. This landed her in a grand hotel room, naked next to Tony Stark. This led to a casual "frenemies with benefits" situation, which resulted in where they are now.

"You are going to be a strong warrior, my little huntress," Misty said, holding the baby. "You will be safe with your father, but I will still be there along the way."

She kissed the baby's forehead, earning a gummy smile she couldn't help but smile at.

Misty knew she couldn't bring the child into the dangerous world of bounty hunting. Although Tony Stark's world was no different, Tony had more security, and she knew he would be able to keep the baby from danger.

Tony came in with loads of gifts for his daughter. Everything was inscribed with "Antonia Maria Stark."

"There's my little princess," he said, coming over with a teddy bear. At the sound of her father's voice, she gave another gummy smile. He took her from Misty. "Exactly. I am your father, and we are rich," he said as her smile widened. "Wow, she really is my daughter. No DNA test needed anymore."

Antonia started crying at her father's words while Misty rolled her eyes and grabbed her baby.

"Shh, it's alright," Misty said. "Your father was just playing." Antonia started calming down. "In return, you can max out his credit card."

Tony laughed. "There is no limit."

"We're women," Misty said to her daughter before smirking at him. "We'll always find a way."

"Daddy?" A five-year-old girl ran through the house yelling for her father after being dropped off by her mother after staying at her house. "Daddy?"
