Tony's WHAT?!

Prologue

They met at a social function. One of the boring, stuffy events that Tony absolutely hated, but had to go to every once in a while. Both for public appearance, and to keep Pepper off of his back. Mostly to keep Pepper off of his back. 

He recognized her as he walked in, who wouldn't? Azalea Potter-Black. Lady Potter-Black, at that. Her wealth was on par with his own, from what he'd heard, but studying her now, she didn't seem the type to showcase it. There was something about her that enthralled him, and not just her beauty. That was not to say, however, that she was not beautiful. Calling her breathtaking would be an understatement, in Tony's opinion. 

Her fiery red hair, cinnamon highlights visible throughout, seemed to draw the light to it, to bask in it, like a flame in a dark room. It tumbled down her back in soft waves, framing her face in just the right way.

Her lips, full and soft, looked the type that could pull off a marvellous pout. They were pink, but not in the same way as the other women here, those that were slathered in makup. No, Her beauty seemed natural, ethereal almost, and it almost scared him how bad it drew him in.

He suppressed a shiver as she bit down on her bottom lip.

Her eyes, kind, but hardened through an unknown trial, shone a vibrant green, just a few shades lighter than emerald, but not quite light enough to be classified as jade. They had a subtle intelligence hidden to them, a calculating layer that Tony had a feeling most would disregard. He saw them landing on people throughout the room, assessing and filing away information. His breath caught in his chest as those gorgeous eyes met his, and he was surprised to see that they seemed to sparkle as they flickered across him.

Her eyes narrowed, almost unnoticeable to even Tony who was watching her quite carefully, at the sight of a politician coming towards her, and Tony was surprised to note that he turned around and walked in the other direction. I'm fact,now that he thought about it, why weren't there paparazzi swarming her? Or him for that matter, but she rarely came to these events. 

Gathering his wits, and his pride, he strode across t he room to her. Her felt a slight tingle once he got within a five foot radius of her, and the closer he got, the stronger the pull he felt inside of himself became. Her beauty became clearer the closer he got, he thought absentmindedly. As he stopped beside her, a small smile danced across her lips. Tony watched, thinking t that at that.moment, he would do anything to be the only person to make her smile like that. He opened his mouth to speak, but found it dry. So, she spoke instead.

"Anthony Stark. I have waited my entire life to meet you, did you know? " she verbalized, Her voice full of confidence, and qusstion, and was that hope?

"Y-you have?" He asked, inwardly cursing himself for stuttering. " I thought you only recently came here? To America, I mean? "

She smiled again, wider this time, and Tony was almost certain that he was melting. "That is correct, yes," she responded, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"Then how..."

" Shh, " she cut in, " I will explain. For now, so you care to accompany me to dinner? "

"But what about the function?" He asked.

"Oh, I don't think anyone will notice," she said, the mischievous glint in her eyes again. But, for some strange reason, he trusted her fully.

as she grasped his arm, he noticed a silver glow surround the place where they had touched. He looked at her, curiously, but she simply.grinned at him in delight.

"Come" she said, "All will be explained".

And so he did.

What do you think? Love it, hate it? The next chapter will have a time skip, probably to their wedding, and then the next chapter presumably to Iron Man 1.
