By the time that they all finished the pizza half of each was gone. Harry ate half of the cheese pizza, and Tony was surprised. Harry's explanation was that she hasn't eaten all day. Tony was a little surprised at this for he knows that she got here after a normal breakfast time, so why didn't she eat. They also watched three movies, but by the end of the third one, Harry was falling asleep.

"Come on kid, I'll show you to your room. You can get a tour tomorrow," Tony says nudging Harry.

"Ok," Harry mumbles.

Harry follows Tony out of the living room, and through a bunch of other hallways. Tony had taken her trunk, while Hedwig landed on Harry's shoulder, you know so she can get a ride to where ever they're going. After a few turns Tony stops in front of a door, and opens it. He steps through and Harry follows. 

"My room is two door down, get some rest."

Tony places her trunk on the ground next to her bed, and she nods in response. Harry didn't even look at the room, all she did was look for the bed. When she found the bed, she jumped into it, not even bothering to take off her clothes. Hedwig flew off somewhere, but before Tony leaves he puts the covers over Harry. She's already out like a light. Tony smiles to himself, as he walks out of the room. When he gets back to the living room, he rushes over to Pepper, and lands on the couch with a jolt.

"What were they like? I want to know everything about them!"

"The Dursleys? Well, for one thing they're horrible people. They came here expecting to just drop her off, and get paid for it. When the DNA test came back, they looked smug, and didn't even bother saying goodbye to Harry. They also made her carry her trunk and Hedwig's cage all by herself. When we were in the conference room all their pig of a son would do is complain, and all the mother would do is promise him things. A few times when they were talking about Harry they called her a freak, and didn't even bother to try and hide it. I only ended up giving them the amount I did, so they would leave. They obviously spoiled their son, but when it comes to Harry, I don't think they did much, it's so... UGH!!! You better promise to ruin these people Tony, they obviously put this child through some kind of neglect."

Tony started filling with fury, "Don't worry Pepper, these people aren't going to get away with this."

Pepper and Tony ended up going to bed about an hour later, they stayed up talking about how horrible the Dursleys are, and how nice Harry seems. When they did go to bed, Tony stopped at Harry's door and checked on her. He never thought he'd be a good dad, because he never really had one himself. But knowing Harry, even if for only a few hours, he knows that he's going to do a good job.

That night Harry dreampt of Hogwarts, and her friends. She can't wait to tell them about her having a dad who's alive. She also can't wait to meet the avengers and do family things with Tony.

When Harry woke up she groaned, and sat up in her bed slowly. When she did, she finally noticed how her room looks. She's sleeping on a queen size bed, with a blue comforter, and pillows. There's a closet, another door most likely leading to the bathroom, a dresser, a vanity, and a desk with a chair. Slowly Harry pulled back the covers, and placed her bare feet on the floor. She makes her way over to her trunk and opens it carefully. When she does she smiles, her book with pictures of her mother and James is on the top, along with her broom, and other things. Her clothes, her books, everything. She takes out the book and flips through a few pages, even though James isn't her dad, and he's in the pictures, she doesn't care. All Harry cares about is her mom, and how happy she looks in the pictures. 

Harry puts the book back into her trunk and she takes out a pair of clothes. It's nothing special, just a pair of old jeans, and one of Dudley's old flannel shirts. Harry puts on her sneakers and brushes out her hair. Carefully she splits her hair in two, and puts them into braids. Harry pushes her glasses up, and walks to the door. When she exits her room, her nose is filled with the smell of bacon, and that smell leads her back to the kitchen.

When Harry gets to the kitchen, she spots Tony sitting at the counter, and Pepper standing at the stove. Harry walks over to Tony and takes a seat next to him, he doesn't notice her yet, but that doesn't really bother her. When Pepper turns around she smiles at Harry.

"Morning Harry, how did you sleep?"

Tony looks over at Harry and smiles too. Harry smiles back, "Good, I really like the room."

"Good, now eat up you two."

Pepper places a plate in front of each of them. Harry's has more bacon than Tony's does. Harry sees him eyeing her bacon and she laughs. She smiles at him and places two pieces onto his plate. He breaks out in a smile.

"Thanks kid, you read my mind."

After breakfast Tony gets up to get another cup of coffee, and when he does he gets a better look at Harry's outfit. Old jeans, tattered sneakers, and a very large flannel shirt. He looks at Pepper, and she gives him a look.

"So Harry, how'd you like to go shopping with me today?" Pepper asks.

Harry looks up at her, "That would be fun... if it's not to much trouble."

"It's no problem, besides when we go shopping you can get clothes, and shoes, and even stuff for your room. We can even get stuff for Hedwig."

Harry smiles at her, and she smiles back. 

After everything in the kitchen, Tony decided to take Harry on a tour of the apartment. He toured her through the living room, the kitchen, the labs, all the bedrooms, the gym, the communal floor, everything. She really enjoyed it, she likes spending time with Tony. When they got to Tony's personal lab, Harry had the most fun. She liked looking through all the tools, and through the blue prints. She liked looking at all the different Iron man suits too. 

It's in this lab at this moment, Tony found out how smart Harry really is. On the white board there's an equations that Tony has been trying to solve for a few weeks now, and when Harry got in front of it she stopped to look. She immediately found what was wrong with it, it's missing a decimal and one negative. Without thinking of any consequences Harry picks up a marker and underneath the equation she re-writes it, but this time it's correct.

"Wow, you... you fixed it."

Harry turned abruptly and sheepishly smiled.

"You're definitely my kid if you're this smart, good job Harry."
