Las Vegas, 36 hours earlier

"Oooo flashback."

"Shut up Barty."

"Yes sir."

The screen showed a room full of people while in the front laid photos of Toni. "Toni Stark. Visionary. Genius."

The Avengers nodded their headed, even though they had their ups and downs with Toni, the one thing they couldn't deny was the woman's abnormal intelligence.

Over at the Slytherin table, Rabastan elbowed Evan. "Damn, Reg grew up real good - OW!" He yelled. He glared at Dorcas, who sneered at him.

"Stop being such a prick, that's our friend, Rab."

"I know, I was joking."

At the Gryffindor table, Sirius was having the exact same problem.

"I mean come on man! Your little sister's so hot, dude." A sixth year laughed as he stared at Sirius. "I mean..."

"Shut the hell up. He didn't want to talk about it for a reason dumbass." Remus glared but stopped when he looked at the rambling girl across from him.

"Oh my god, Ron. She's literally perfect, I'm just saying." Hermione gushed as she looked up dreamily. "I would date her in heartbeat." She sighed.

"Would you leave me for her?"

"Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to..."

"American Patriot. Even from an early age, the daughter of weapons developer Howard Stark, quickly stole the spotlight with her brilliant and unique mind. At age ten, she builds her first circuit board, at twelve, her first engine. Then, at seventeen, she graduated Summa Cum Laude at MIT."

"What's Summa cum laude?" A second-year pureblood Ravenclaw asked.

"It means with the highest distinction." Bruce explained kindly, on the inside he was proud of his friend for doing so, especially at such a young age.

People listened in shock. They knew Regulus Black was smart, she was the smartest in her year,

but they didn't think she was that smart, or at least not in muggle sciences. Hearing this, made Walburga's eyes twitch, knowing that her youngest daughter was partaking in muggle studies, to the point where she was famous for it... it was humiliating... a disgrace to the Black family name.

"Then the passing of a Titan." A picture of the newsletter confirming the night Howard and Maria Stark died. "Howard Stark's lifelong friend and ally, Obadiah Stane, steps in the help fill the gap left by the legendary founder until at the age of seventeen, the prodigal daughter returns and is anointed the new CEO of Stark Industries."

"Became CEO at seventeen?" Someone whistled. "Damn."

"I know my bae is so smart." Marlene gushed, ignoring the glares sent her way.

"I'm coming to you as a woman. That's my wife." Hermione rolled her eyes. "Don't get things messed up." With those words, Hermione effectively started a war in Hogwarts.

"Your wife?!? You mean my wife!"

"How if she was in my bed last night?"

"Hippogriff shit."

"Whoa, calm yourself."

"Wrong!"

"Like she would ever go for you!"
