Finding my way in life

Missing

Harry had spent the best years of his life, his dad decided it was for the best to keep him 'hidden' from the press, and Harry was grateful for that. They agreed that on his 16th birthday Tony would present him to the world as his son and heir. Harry went to school under another name, so nobody would make the relation of being a Stark.

There were only three people who knew about Harry; Happy, Rhodey and Pepper. In his first year there, Tony and Pepper got married and she got pregnant, now he has a new mom and a little sister named María Virginia Stark, she was born in August 2006.

As soon as Pepper and Tony got married, Pepper adopted Harry in the muggle world; she couldn't do it in the wizarding world, even though she was a witch too, because two blood adoptions could be fatal for someone, but now Harry could say he had a dad and a mom who really loved him.

Both his marriage with Pepper and his daughter were kept a secret as well. Tony knew how many people hated him, not even Obie knew about them. The family of four live in Malibu in an amazing house.

But there was something Harry didn't know, back in England he had a little sister too. She was born in January 2006. Lily didn't know she was pregnant on that fateful birthday party. They named her Jasmine Lily Potter.

Jasmine has all the love from his parents, his brother, his two uncles. In the eyes of the world, they were the perfect family of four; they would not make the same mistake again, Alex and Jas had the same love from their family.

They never gave up looking for Harry, but the rest of England did, the muggle world even said that he was dead, they decided to keep the search for only the people who wished to help them.

Harry was now 8 y.o, his little sister was 2 y.o, today their father was going to leave for 3 days for an important demonstration to another country. Tony and Harry spent a lot of time in Tony's lab; Harry had learned a lot of things thanks to his dad and Tony could tell he was a little genius, just like him.

"I'm going to miss you dad" said Harry with a pout in his mouth, and hugging Tony.

"Me too bud, but it's only 3 days, and after that, I promise we're going to build the new lego uncle Rhodey gave you" said Tony.

"Deal!" exclaimed Harry with a grin.

"Mind your mom Harry, and take care of your sister" said Tony.

"Yes dad!" said Harry, he hugged him once again and saw how Pepper said goodbye to him and how he gave a kiss to his little sister.

The next day Harry woke up and he saw his mum with red eyes, and his uncle Rhodey with a worried face "mum..." whispered Harry.

"Baby" said Pepper "come here" Pepper opened his arms, Harry ran to her, and Pepper gave him a tight hug, and she broke down.

"What happened?" asked Harry.

"Baby, I need you to be really brave" said Pepper "Can you do that?" Harry nodded his head.

"Harry..." said Rhodey "your dad is missing"

All the color in Harry's face was gone "what?" he whispered.

"Yesterday, some bad man attacked your dad" said Rhodey "but don't worry buddy, we're going to find him"

Harry was trying to stay calm "May I go to my room, please?"

"Baby... Harry" said Pepper trying to comfort him and hold him.

"Please mom" his voice was breaking.

"Yes, baby" said Pepper "I'm going to be here when you are ready"

Harry ran to his room and buried himself inside his bed to burst into tears. It was the worst time for the Stark family. Harry was failing at school, he didn't want to eat, he couldn't sleep; Pepper didn't know how to help her son. Maria understood something was wrong and kept asking for 'daddy'.

Those were the worst 3 months of the family, until one day Pepper received a phone call, telling her they found him. After the press conference telling the world SI would not do more weapons, he returned home.

Harry was in the living room when he saw his dad entering the house "DADDY!" he ran to his father's waiting arms. It had been over a year since his son had called him 'daddy' because he was now a 'big boy'; and hearing Harry call him daddy again, warmed Tony's heart.

Tony hugged him tight and carried him to sit down on the couch "I missed you so much, Bambi" he heard him he was crying "hey, now, I'm here"

"Don't do that again, daddy" said Harry still crying "please, I can't lose you"

Tony gave him a kiss on his forehead "you are not going to lose me, Bambi, I promise"
