Unwanted - Tony Stark x reader

Chapter 4

Tony took off his sunglasses as he walked through the doorway of the foster home, Steve trailing behind him. He glanced around, not spotting the girl in a mass of children playing.

The foster mother rounded the corner from the kitchen and nearly fainted when she saw Tony Stark in her living room.

"Mr. Stark! Um how can I help you?" She blushed as she addressed the handsome man, smoothing down her skirt.

"Where's my girl?" He said to her, referring to (Y/n) who he had previously called her about picking up.

"Oh I'll get her right now. Give me one second." She said, holding up one finger and going into the next room.

Steve and Tony looked at each other, wondering why she wasn't with the rest of the kids.

The foster mother came back, (Y/n) walking behind her. Tony looked at the girl, taking note of how tired she looked. Her eyes were red and puffy, as if she had been crying for hours. She looked like she had just gotten up as well.

"Where were you, (Y/n)?" Tony said, concern in his voice.

"Closet." Was all she said.

"The closet?! This better be some kind of joke! Why was she in a closet?" He said, raising his voice to the foster mother.

"She was getting into some trouble. She punched an older boy and made his nose bleed. She needed to be punished." The woman said, crossing her arms, sticking her nose in the air.

"Why'd you punch a kid?" Tony said, looking down at the girl.
All she did was pull up her sleeve and show Tony the bruise the boy left on her and he understood.

(Y/n) didn't know who Tony was, but she trusted him immediately. She felt comforted at his concern for her and when he very obviously approved in her reasoning for punching the kid. He looked down at her and gave her a nod, showing he approved her actions and she looked up at him with a small smirk.

"That is not the way you should take care of a child! You will be hearing more from me. I'm gonna have this place shut down. Good day to you, Miss." Tony said, putting his sunglasses back on his face, indicating they were leaving.

He walked out the door, heading to the car, leaving the woman standing there, speechless. Steve grabbed (Y/n)'s hand and lead her out to the car with them.

"Let's go (Y/n)." He said looking down at her with a smile. He saw her eyes light up with hope as she returned the smile. He had saved her again.

On the car ride to the base, Tony and Steve explained to (Y/n) what was going on. How she would be adopted by Tony, how she would live at the base with him, and how she would learn to use her telekinetic powers. She was beyond excited.

Steve and Tony could both see how happy she was to be taken away from the foster house and given a family. She felt wanted for once in her life.

Next thing she knew, she was standing in her own new bedroom. Tony explained to her how to use F.R.I.D.A.Y. and that the AI would get her anything she needed or even contact Tony wherever he was.

Steve and Tony let her be alone for the night and settle in. She could order her dinner through the AI system. They didn't want to overwhelm her by letting her meet everyone tonight. She had been through lots of changes and they didn't want to push it.

She smiled to herself as she settled in her bed, starting to eat the dinner she had ordered. She got to choose whatever she wanted. She had ordered her food and took a hot shower in her personal bathroom while she waited. She was now eating and exploring the television in her room, seeing all of the shows and movies that were on it.

She picked one and sat back in her pajamas, enjoying her dinner with a wet head of hair and a huge smile on her face.
