Percy Jackson Adoptive Son of Tony Stark

Chapter 13- Tony Stark's Homecoming

The weeks that Tony was gone went by slowly and it always made Percy sad. That was until the day he heard the news when he was absently watching the news while he had to do his demonized homework.

When he heard the news that Tony Stark had returned home his head snapped up and he yelled for Happy.

Who came into the room probably in record time with his hand about to pull out the gun hidden in his jacket before he saw what Percy was talking about.

Just then his phone rang and he answered it. On the phone was Pepper herself calling about Tony and how he was on his way home.

Percy instantly perked up and the the bright smile that wasn't seen for the last few weeks was on his face. He continued to watch news about Tony and was pleased when he saw Tony give the speech about giving up on the weapon making.

He was however displeased when Stane, who he only saw in photos, cut off Tony and told them that this wasn't exactly certain.

It seemed that Stane didn't know Tony all that well as he might have thought, if he did then he would've known that whenever Tony says something that serious. He means it.

It wasn't long before Tony opened the front doors. However Percy was in the other room but was quickly sprinting over toward the door.

Ignoring Happy who was talking to Tony he launched himself at Tony and grasped the man's legs refusing to move.

Tony laugh sounded relieved and Percy could see some tenseness wash away from Tony and to remind himself that Tony was in fact here he hugged harder.

He let go of hugging Tony's legs mostly because Tony had picked him up and instead switched to hugging Tony around the neck and buried his head in Tony's shoulder feeling relieved.

He felt cold sweep through Tony's shirt but paid no attention to it. Instead he focused that the man that adopted him and brought him away from his troubles and Gabe was home and safe.

"You kept your promise." Percy muttered hugging Tony just a bit harder than necessary.

"I try to keep the promises to those I keep close true." Tony said kissing the top of Percy's head.

Happy excused himself asking if he wanted lunch and Tony nodded not letting Percy go.

"Jarvis was worried and has been looking for you. Assisting the government actually. Especially with funding, Stane disagreed but Pepper put him in his place." Percy said that was muffled by Tony's clothes.

"Did he met you?" Tony asked just a bit worried about his old friend and his reaction to meeting Percy.

However, when Percy shook his head he breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Jarvis for helping with the search and made his way toward the kitchen Percy not even bothering to let go.

When Happy told them that lunch was ready was when Percy actually had to let go and he did so reluctantly.

It wasn't till after lunch when they escaped into the basement or workshop rather.

"What are we building?" Percy asked using his knees on the chair instead of correctly sitting in it.

"I'm working on rebuilding something similar to how I escaped." Tony said and started to gather a pencil to draw a design of the suit.

It wasn't long before Percy could see a rough sketch of a detailed armor piece, "That's how you got out?" Percy asked tilting his head examining the sketch closely and was shocked how Tony could've made something like this wherever he was.

"Want to help me design the better version?" Tony asked and at Percy's eager nod started to talk about the basic of the Arc Reactor and then talked about the suit itself.

Percy who was starting to become awesome in the area of building mostly followed along and sometimes Tony had to backtrack and start a small lesson but for the most part they started to make the new and improved suit of armor.

The testing of the new suit and the whole flying was incredible fun and definitely funny.

Especially whenever Dummy thought Tony was on fire and tried to extinguisher him with a fire extinguisher.

Then there was Tony ramming into the wall. Percy just had to laugh hard and then ask if he was okay while laughing.

As Dummy extinguished him too.

The whole plus side was that Jarvis recorded each attempt and Percy could forever watch his father fly into a wall while testing out the boots.

It wasn't until they practically had the suit ready when Percy suggested the Red Hot Rod for an additional color.

Tony ran the probabilities and shrugged, "Throw some Hot Rod in there too J.." Tony said standing up and stretching.

"Pepper insisted about this thing tonight so don't wait up." Tony said ruffling Percy's hair.

Percy smile dipped a bit but it was still genuine, "Okay." he said as he watched Tony leave the workshop.

Percy took another look around the place, "Jarvis let me know when you got the suit." he said wanting to get first looks before Tony.

There was a pause as Jarvis thought about what Little Master (what he sometimes calls Percy) had asked, "I will let you know when the specs are done. "Jarvis finally said.

Percy smiled up at Jarvis through the camera in the corner and grabbed his backpack, which was always in the workshop, and raced upstairs.
