It was supposed to be a routine mission, no more was needed than two Avengers and a couple of agents. That was until they uncovered an entire organization of criminal scientists and a 12 year old chained in a basement.
Maya was the perfect lab rat, an unwanted and unnoticed orphan with an IQ to rival even Tony Starks. The price on her head was high and until the network that held her captive had been eradicated, she needed to be somewhere safe. Who better than Tony Stark? An intelligence that matched hers, a fortified tower, and also the only person that had been able to elicit a positive response from the girl.
Maya is broken, traumatized, frightened, and guarded. She's terrified that at any second she'll be taken back to the basement. Tony is out of his depth, recovering from his own anxiety after Loki attacked New York, and determined to figure it out. He's just trying to stabilize her until the criminal organization is taken down and they find her a good permanent family.
This is only meant to be temporary. So why is starting to feel attached?
~~~
In which Tony becomes responsible for a traumatized, genius, 12 year old girl.

Adopted By The Avengers
**READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS SUCKS BUT I'M TOO LAZY TO FIX IT** The team didn't know what caused them to want to go to a foster home and adopt a child. Hell, they honestly didn't know half of the reasons why they did things, but this just seemed right. When things start going from bad to worse, the Avengers must decide if having a kid is truly worth while, especially when other parties join the picture. ======= "Oh my god, this hasn't happened before!" Bridget gasps with a smile while clapping her hands. "How many people have you told?" Clint raises his eyebrows. "Good point." She shakes her head. "But that doesn't mean you can tell others!" "Why not?" Clint demands. "I told you before, it's dangerous. Even having me here with you could kill you!" Bridget quickly explains. "And now that you know, every little sign will make sense and then you'll start to go a little crazy trying to figure it out and then-" "Calm down." Clint orders while setting a hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure this out." ===== ------ Cover by @Meowlnir **Yes, this is a remake of my previous Adopted Series, except it'll be new characters and a smoother flow (hopefully)**Complete
Singularity's Child
She wasn't supposed to survive. When the experimental reactor tore her world apart, all that remained was a frightened girl with strange blue light burning in her veins. No name. No family. Just questions, and power that bends reality itself. Tony Stark didn't mean to find her. He didn't mean to care. But guilt is hard to ignore when the child left behind might be the product of someone's ambition, and his mistake. Because her powers are growing. Her nightmares are warnings. And somewhere in the shadows, the truth about what she is, and what she was created for, is waiting. She isn't a weapon. She isn't a miracle. She's the singularity's child. (###) Ironman's daughter. (###) x peter parker.

Gray in the White and Black
"I love you. I need you in my life. I need you in my life. You help me become a better man," he said, leaning back. "No Tony, you make yourself a better man. You are the best version of you," Pepper replied, her voice holding so much conviction. He could hear a certainty. "I let those kids down. I let Wanda down." "Life let those kids down. You have done everything you can to protect them, and that's the man you are That's what makes you great." Tony turned back to the monitor. He saw Peter as Wanda gave a small smile. Wanda returned the smile back, as she continued to eat her own food. He felt tears filled his eyes while he watched her. "They're the strong ones." "They are only strong because they have you. Use that strength." Tony closed his eyes. "How do you know how to make me feel better?" "I show you who you really are. You're a father Tony Stark. You're a hero.
