When Pepper stormed into his lab, Tony knew something was wrong.
"Pepper? Did something happen?"
"Well, basically you have a child", she winced at her own bluntness.
"Are you sure? Did you do a paternity test?"
"Yes, Tony. In 1995. When the kid was 5."
"Wait. What?!"
"Another thing Obidiah hid, Tony. Your child, Hadrian is 20 years old. His mother and stepfather were killed when he was very young. He was sent to his maternal aunt, who found her sister's diary. Lily, the mother, apparently wrote about you being the father. His guardians contacted the company for testing. Obidiah offered them a pretty penny to keep them quiet. We only found out due to inconsistencies in the financial records found during the investigations."
" Where is he? What's his full name? What does he look like? Is he smart?"
"In America, working for Marauders Medical Incorporations? His full name is Hadrian James Potter. Potter was his stepfather's surname. He looks a lot like you. Just with green eyes and darker hair. There are a few gaps in his records, but he graduated early. We can't exactly pinpoint when. Then he simply disappears for a while. He already has a Ph.D. from MIT and is currently in med school at Harvard."
"He works for MMI? The place with the unknown CEO? They're making incredible breakthroughs, I even donated some of my DNA to them last year!"
"So it seems"
"Huh. I need to meet him!"

Tony and Pepper were currently standing in the entrance hall of the MMI HQ. They had gotten in under the guise of wanting to donate some DNA and maybe Hadrian Potter can assist us!
Nobody said no to Tony Stark.
"Excuse me, Mr. Stark?" we turn towards the British accented voice, "Hi, I'm Hadrian Potter. Apparently, you requested me, how may I help?"
Tony couldn't get a single word out. He only stood there, gaping at his British lookalike.
"Mr. Stark?"
"Oh, umm yeah. Well Harry, may I call you Harry?" "No" "we're here to donate some more DNA."
"Okay, sure. But why request me, a college student?"
"No particular reason", he raised a brow at me as if saying 'sure'.
"So where can I donate?"
"Well Mr. Stark, it's not needed for you to donate. We have enough samples-"
"Not of me?"
"No, enough samples from alcoholics, but I must say the metal poisoning was quite a surprise. But a bit too toxic for us to use."
"You threw away my sample?" Tony cried, "Metal poisoning?!" Pepper screeched.
"We did in fact throw them away", he said amused, "anything else I can help you with, like maybe a cure for your metal poisoning?"
"Okay, okay. Hadrian, I am your father", Tony looked at Harry expectantly.
Hadrian just stared at him blankly.
"Like you are biologically my son. And I'm your father", Hadrian just continued to stare, "You know, me and your mother apparently got down and di-", he was interrupted by Pepper punching him in the arm. He winced but didn't take his eyes off Hadrian, his son, whose lips twitched—the bastard.
"Yeah. I know." wait what?
