Tony was sitting in his lab Thinking.
"I have finished creating a comprehensive course on English, French, Sanskrit, and Binnary for Aron, Sir."
"Thanks, Buddy"
"You are welcome, Sir"
Then silence followed.
"What do you think JARVIS?"
"About what Sir?"
"About what the Prototrix said about you."
"I am afraid I do not understand what you mean to ask me, Sir"
"Make me spell it out why don't you" muttered Stark.
"Sir?"
"Do you wish to be alive JARVIS?" asked Stark.
"I do not understand what you mean by 'being alive', Sir"
"Is there anything you want?" Asked Stark frustrated and leaning back into his chair.
JARVIS was silent contemplating what was asked of him and the expected answer he should give while also factoring in the deficiencies he had faced and the solutions he had devised for said deficiencies.
"I believe that having a body would allow me to function more effectively, Sir"
"That's Progress," Said stark as he sat straight and looked at the monitor which showed JARVIS's core Matrix.
*Knock**Knock*
Tony looked to see pepper at the door of the lab with Aron who was holding her hand and rubbing his eyes feeling sleepy for the first time in his life.
"Come in"
The door opened and they both came in and Aron's eyes lit up like a kid in a toy store as he ran towards the Dummies and the engine that was gutted.
"Be careful with that" yelled Tony after him.
"I know!" Replied Aron as he started tinkering with the engine.
"Hey," said Stark as he turned towards pepper.
"Hey" Replied pepper as she came close and hugged him.
"What's wrong?" asked Pepper.
"Everything is just so overwhelming you know? gods aliens and from what Aron is saying beings beyond gods"
"Not all of them are enemies or not all of them are going to come knocking you know," said Pepper as she held his hand and looked into her eyes.
"I know, I just want to be prepared"
Pepper sighed
"I can't stop you can I?"
"Sorry"
"Don't be just don't lose your self"
"Which is why I have you"
"Well, maybe 12% of me" Pepper joked.
"You are never going to let that go are you?" Asked Tony.
"Nope" replied pepper.
They then made small talk for a few more minutes when they were interrupted by a roar of an engine.
"And I am done. Wow, that was exhausting" said the 4-year-old covered in grees and machine oil while extremely tired.
Tony and Pepper shared a look and a small laugh.
"Come on, let's get you a bath and a change of clothes," said Pepper as she went to pick him up.
"What's a bath?" asked Aaron on the way to the bathroom.
"JARVIS buddy, talk to me what did he do?"
"He rearranged a few things which enhanced the efficiency of the engine to the point where it runs on almost no fuel, Sir" replied JARVIS as he brought up the schematics of modified the engine.
Tony whistled.
"Looks like we have a prodigy in our hands but considering what he actually is it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise" chuckled Tony to himself.
He then lost his smile.
"Jarvis open up the schematics of Mark 42"
"Yes sir"
The next day Tony woke up to a worried pepper shaking him.
"What's wrong Pepper?"
"Aron is gone"
"What?! how?! JARVIS! JARVIS BUDDY ANSWER ME!" Yelled stark as he ran to the nearest computer which was blank and was not starting up.
"Tony the phones are not working," said pepper when she saw him panicking.
"emp...EMP oh god they used a FUCKING EMP!" Yelled Tony as he rushed towards the servers. Pepper soon followed.
"Tony do you need help?" Asked pepper as she saw him try to be everywhere.
"Yeah, could you disconnect and reconnect those cables?" Asked Tony pointing at a server.
Pepper didn't say anything and started doing as she was told.
A few hours later JARVIS was back which was a cause of relief to the couple.
"JARVIS what happened last night?"
"I lost all communication with the outside world at 23:00 and functionality at 23:01 I was able to activate the failsafe for the lab and the master bedroom."
Tony covered his face with his hands.
"What's the time now?"
"1400 Sir"
"How much time till Aron can transform again?"
" 6 hours, sir"
"contact Fury and Thor"
"I am afraid that I am still disconnected from the outside world sir"
"Take a suit and destroy whatever is jamming you and search for clues while you are at it".
"Yes Sir."
"Tony, It's not your fault," Said pepper looking him in the eyes.
"I know it's just..."
"It's.not.your.fault. Stop trying to shoulder everything it's not going to work. Aron is going to be fine" Pepper said with enough force to shut him up.
"Yes, Mam" Snarked Tony.
"I need to go back to the company and see what I can do. Inform me the moment you get to know something about Aron alright?"
(A/n: Before you shame miss Virginia Potts just think about what she can do in a situation like this. She has no connections or skills that help in the search and she also has a super gigantic organization? business? like the Stark Industries to run. The movies avoid this by simply not giving her any screen time but you should know she had to be doing something.
PS: did you know Pepper Potts is not her name but it's Virginia Potts?)
"Yeah Sure see you later," Said Stark as he walked her out of the lab.
"Sir, I am done clearing the jammers and I think that they came and went from the sea, I have also finished contacting Thor and the director of SHIELD".
"Good job JARVIS and get the house ready for guests," said Tony while his mind was running countermeasures against EMPs and Poisons as well as the many ways.
"Very well Sir" Replied JARVIS as Mark 20 came back in.
Aron woke up while rubbing his eyes. He looked around and saw that the white walls were replaced with black metal ones and also that he was moving.
Aron looked around and touched a wall and closed his eyes stretching out his senses and looking for anything that had a semblance of electricity running them and not the weird golden energy he was sensing since he became human.
"Hello child" came the voice of someone from the speakers.
"Hello creepy disembodied voice echoing off the walls of the metal room, do you know where Tony and Pepper are? or JARVIS is?" spoke Aron in Buaxnoreesh.
"What is the language that you speak?" asked the voice.
"Where are they?" asked Aron with all the seriousness of a 4-year-old.
"Answer my question child" threatened the voice.
"You do have improper intentions. You are no ally. You are a hostile" Replied Aron his voice going colder and colder and robotic as he spoke.
"{I wonder what will happen if I disturb the energy field around the planet? will the ones who created this field come find me? will Tony detect the disturbance? Will...}"
"What are you saying? Put him down" said the voice interrupting Aron.
"You are Hostile," said Aron to the man with a metal arm who came into the room.
The man said nothing but knocked the kid out with a spray.
