Little Adoption

"We want to adopt him."

Amber stops mid sitting down and stares at the the Stark's. Smiling she sits down all the way and signals them to sit down in the chairs in front of her, "I know."

Tony and Pepper start at this, "you know?" Tony asks.

Amber laughs at this, "Peter told you I was a mutant, my mutation allows me to see into the hearts and auras of the people around me. That is why the people hire me find me the best at dealing with Little's who are mutants. I travel to and from adoption house that have mutant Littles and I help them find the perfect fit for their forever home. I also specialize in mutants who have suffered from trauma or abuse because I am able to project my aura to calm an upset Little and project security to help them over come their trauma and learn to trust again," Amber explains.

"So you read our hearts and aura and knew we would be a match for Peter?" Pepper asks.

"Is that why you introduced us?"

"No I can't see the future, I saw your aura's as the type of Caregivers that could match with Peter but I wasn't able to know for sure until after you interacted with him," Amber explains. "Peter is special, as you know, his needs are many and to clearly see his aura to who he can match with I have to see the Caregivers interacting with the Little to know with certainty."

Amber sees that she has their full attention before continuing, "I originally asked you because you are Caregivers and I wanted you to meet Peter but also because you are Iron Man. His hero who saved his life and helped him in so many ways that you don't know."

Tony coughs a little in embarrassment at such hero worship, making Amber let out a small laugh.

"I brought him books about you and Dr. Banner and read them to him, I would tell him about if I read or saw anything on TV about you or the Avengers, and that really helped to bring him out of his shell. I also did it because I knew it would make him so happy. I care a lot for Peter, he has been through more then any Little should in their life."

Tony and Pepper reach for each other's hands in comfort at the sadness they feel for Peter.

Amber runs her hands over her face, before staring at Tony with a stern expression.

"Peter can't handle a rejection from his hero, if you truly want to adopt him there are things you need to know before we sign some paper work. I can sense you are right for him, but you have to be the ones to look after him and give him all the love and care he needs after you sign the paper work. I don't want to have to take him into my care again, I don't think he would live through it."

"We are very serious about adopting him," Tony says. "I feel it in my heart, I want to protect him, love him, be there for him. I feel it so much that I am struggling to leave him even now."

"I agree with my husband, he is just too precious and smart and kind and I just want to hold him and feed him and run my hand through his curls as he nurses and falls asleep," Pepper says. 

Amber nods and pulls open a drawer and brings out a folder, she then hands it over to them which Pepper takes. On the front his reads:

'Peter Benjamin Parker

Classification: Little

Age Category: A0 to A2'

"If you look inside the first page has his basic information," Amber says.

They open the first page and it reads:

'Name: Peter Benjamin Parker

Birthday: August 10th 2001

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Brown

Height: 4'1''

Parents: Richard and Mary Parker - Deceased

Next of Kin: Benjamin and May Parker - Deceased

No Living Relatives. 

Status - Up for Adoption.'

"Peter's parents were killed in a plane crash in 2006 when he was just 5 years old, why the plane crashed is still unsolved. They were scientist at Oscorp, they specialized in mutation DNA and trying to find ways to replicate the super soldier serum," Amber explains, her eyes never leaving the couple in front of her.

Tony looks up at Amber and sees something in her eyes that makes him suspicious that something isn't being said.

"Speculation is that they saw something they shouldn't have and was killed for it, however that can't be proven. My agency works closely with SHIELD and Dr. Xavier's School, we looked into it but couldn't prove it," Amber says as she shrugs off Tony's questioning look.

"After that Pete was placed with his Aunt and Uncle, Ben and May Parker. Who he lived with up until their passing, Ben was a police officer and May was a nurse at Queens Memorial. Peter got his powers at 11 years old just before he came into my care."

"Do you know how he got his powers?" Tony asks.

Amber pauses at the question, weighing the options on whether to tell them or not.

She let's out a sigh, "he was on a field trip to Oscorp, he told me he saw something that made him curious, so he left the group to check it out. The lab door was open and so he went in, and what he saw were different animals reptiles and insects. He left soon after, but felt something on his hand before he left when he looked down it was a blue and red spider, it bit him, and then died. He told me the next day he was sick, like really sick, and the by the following day he was fine, he didn't need his glasses or his asthma inhaler, he got abs and stuck to the walls and pretty much anything else he touched." Amber lets out a chuckle, "He said he scared his aunt and uncle when they found him on the ceiling, but they helped him, still loved him and accepted him."

"It is good that he got a chance to tell them," Pepper says.

"Yes it was closer he didn't know he needed but had," Amber says. 

"So what happened to his Aunt and Uncle?" Tony asks.

"There was a fire, according to the official police report it looked like a break in, the people who broke in were shocked to find Ben and May, Ben being a police officer had his gun drawn. The people who broke in an panicked and fired killing Ben and then May when she came out of the room. They wanted to hide the crime so they lit the place on fire."

"You said that is what is on the official police report, what about the unofficial one?" Tony asks.

"Unofficially, Oscorp learned that someone had gotten to his spider and wanted information. Upon learning that Peter was part of the school tour he assumed Peter, because he is a Parker, was a spy and sent people their to reclaim what he deemed his property," Amber growls.

Tony growls, "bastards."

Pepper squeezes his hand in reassurance, while also taking comfort to hold in her own anger.

"Ben and May were tortured to give up Peter, but they never did," Amber continues. "Peter told me that May came to him before she was caught and told him to hide in his secret place until they came and got him. After they were killed the group set fire to the place to hide their crime and try to flush out Peter. Peter hid in the vents so he was able to escape the fire, they found him on the roof after the fire was put out."

"Oh my god!" Pepper gasps and tears fall down her face. The image of a little Peter hiding, terrified while a fire chases him, absolutely breaks her heart.

"I was called in after he was placed in here, unfortunately I was with another case and couldn't get here right away, I was three months late." Amber clenches her fists and a pain expression fills her face. "He kept having accidents, so they forced him into diapers without knowing if he was a Little because he was only 11, but assumed because of his height and because he has trouble with food and wetting the bed.

Pepper gasps while Tony growls out a low 'what?!'

"They made him breastfeed and bottle feed against his will, they locked him in a crib, they added a lock on top to keep him from climbing out, and then punished him if he broke the bars. To say when I got here that I was pissed is an understatement. I ripped the Caregivers a new one and Mrs. Anderson took the full blunt of my anger when I was done." Amber smiles a sadistic grin at the memory of Julia's face when she had confronted her.

"Immediately I gave her two official strikes, if she ever did that to a Little again I would not only have her in prison but she would never be allowed any near a Little for the rest of her life. I would have fired her on the spot but up until Peter she never hurt a Little and they were happy with her care," Amber lets out a sound of annoyance, but then shrugs. Making eye contact with the Stark's again she continues.

"I was called in to help Peter because he is a mutant and I specialize in that, once he is adopted I move on to the next Little that needs help. The trauma of losing everyone you love and then being forced with things you don't want and being humiliated on top of that, I had a lot to deal with. Slowly he started to trust me, when I took him to get classified the day after his 12th birthday he freaked out, the doctor really scared him, and so did the needle, the doctor took off his lab coat and that seemed to have calmed him. I had to use my power to calm his further when it came time to draw blood. Once he was officially classified as a Little, I worked with him to help him through dealing with being classified as a Little."

Amber watches the different emotions appear on the Stark's face, she smiles sadly at them.

"He cried so much, not wanting to be in diapers and forced to feed and stuck in a crib. So I started by lowering the bars so he could crawl in and out whenever he wanted, I got him a big boy bed with railings so he could choose where he wants to sleep. It took a while to get him used to being in the crib without having a panic attack, while working on that I had to get him used to feeds, from a bottle and from breastfeeding. I let him choose which one he wants in the beginning, I wear clothing like this that reveal my shoulders so that even if I am feeding him from a bottle I give the illusion that he is being breast fed."

Pausing, Amber let's the information she just gave them sink in before she continues.

"I learned he was smart, brilliant even, when I would come in and he was in a Little headspace and Big headspace as well. As time went on I had to get him used to being a Little so he would wear a pull up that is during the day and a diaper at night time, he allows me to change him when no one is around and who could see him, I breastfeed him in the morning and at night and use a bottle during the day when other's are around. I allow him to use his big Boy bed for naps but his crib is for night time, he only allows himself to truly indulge in being Little when alone with me and at night time."

Tony and Pepper listen intently at what Amber is telling them, when her expression turns hard she speaks slowly but clearly.

"He still has triggers that you will need to watch out for, he will need to be eased into being completely into his Little headspace for more then a few hours. I believe he will fully fall into his role as a Little when he is surrounded by people he trusts and loves and accepts him," Amber sits back and let's what she just said sink in. She watches their expressions,

Pepper shows sadness, anger and determination.

Tony shows more anger then sadness but also has the same determination in his eyes.

Amber watches their aura, they are shining so brightly in response to determination and the need to protect, to help Peter and that makes her smile. "So I guess from your aura's and heart, that what I just told you hasn't scared you away and you are prepared take care of Peter in the way that he need."

"Yes, absolutely," Pepper says.

"Where do we sign?" Tony asks.

"Alright then, here is the Paper work, the first page outlines the process before you can officially adopt him, like the walk through, background check, and to provide all information that is needed," Amber hands them the forms to fill out while she turns to her computer to input the information. 

Over the next hour Amber took all information needed such as job titles, logged their background check, their address and so on.

"Alright and that is it," Amber says taking all the paper work and putting it into Peter's file.

"That's it?" Tony asks.

"You seem surprised?" Amber smirks.

"With my history I thought there would be red tape I would have to go through."

"If you were dealing with anyone but me then yes, your past shows concern for you to adopt, however my name is on the file and no one will argue with me, so I passed you, you will be evaluated by me and I will sign off when this goes official." Amber stares into Tony's eyes, "Mr. Stark you should know that your name can get you far in the outside world, pretty much anything you want, except adopting a Little. In this world of Little's and adoption, My name is everything," Amber grins.

Tony and Pepper just stare at her, and then smile, they were finally going to have a Little and it is going to be Peter.

"So when can we see him again?" Tony asks.

"I want him out of this place as soon as possible, so tomorrow I will come by the Tower at 9am, I will be doing a walk through, I will bring Peter with me so he can see the place. Then if all checks out I can bring him by for his first day on Thursday, then we will come again on Friday. If those two days go well then I will see about having him spend the weekend there. I will leave and give you the full weekend with daily phone calls twice a day. I will call in the morning to see how the night went and the at night time to see how the day went for my reports. If everything is good then we will start our two week grace period starting Monday, I will be making surprise visits at random and will be calling once a day at random to check in. Does that work for you?" Amber asks.

"Yes!" They both answer at the same time.

"Perfect. Then that is everything, I will walk you to the door before Peter wakes up. I will explain everything to him, and get his mind ready for the process," Amber stands up following the Stark's. Amber opens the door for them and they walk out and towards the front door.

"Thank you Amber for everything today, we almost left without meeting the one that is meant for us," Pepper says.

"Now that isn't true, everything happens for a reason, including me showing up when I did," Amber smiles.

"Mr. and Mrs. Stark," Julia walks towards them coming out of another office. "I hope Mrs. Russell hasn't scared you off and has given you a reason to tell others about the Little we have here, even if not by choice."

"You are taking about Peter," Tony says coldly.

"Yes, though we have no choice in who comes into our house, we still have to keep them here. That is why I asked him to stay in his room while you are here so not to cause any problems," Julia says.

"Yes you were right to keep him in his room," Tony says.

Amber looks at Tony and is about to open her mouth when Pepper puts a hand on her shoulder. Her face is one of hidden anger but Amber can read it. Amber looks back at Tony to see he has a mask of indifference but his aura is reads one of murderous anger.

"Yes, you saw what I was trying to do, I am glad you understand," Julia says.

"Oh I understand alright, by you keeping him in his room, he was protected from you," Tony growls.

"Wh-What? I don't know what you are talking about?"

"I heard what you did to that sweet boy, I know you hate mutants so much that regardless of Little status or not you hurt him and humiliated him after he just lost everyone he loved. You are the Freak you are the monster and I promise you if Amber ever gives me the go a head I will erase you for what you did Peter," Tony seethes. "You seem to have forgotten that I am also Iron Man, my team is full of mutants, I don't judge. Thanks to Amber I found my Little and I will be taking him away from here, away from you and all who judge him like you do and giving him everything he could possibly want or need with so much love."

"Yo-you adopted him?!"

"Yes we did, and we are very excited to have him become a part of the family, where he will be accepted for all of who he is, his Little side, his Big side and his powers," Pepper says coming to stand beside her husband.

"Now that that is settled, Amber thank you so much again, and we will see you and Peter tomorrow morning," Pepper says.

Amber steps in front of the shell shock Julia and extends her hand, "I should be the one thanking you both, I know Peter will be greatly loved in your hands."

Pepper and Tony shake Amber's hand and walk out the front door heading towards the SUV that is parked in front. Despite dealing with Julia at the end, the Starks could not help but smile and hug each other, they then turn to the window that they know is Peter's room. 

Happy steps out of the car and walks around to open the door, "by the smile on your faces can I assume you found who you were looking for?" he asks with a hint of hopefulness.

"Well Happy we have some unfortunate news for you," Tony says sadly. "It looks like you are going to have to figure out how to install that car seat you have been putting off," Tony grins.

Happy's mouth drops in shock he then smiles and hugs his friends/employees.

"Congratulations, what the Little's name?"

"Peter," Pepper smiles. 

"Peter," Happy repeats. "It is a great name for the newest addition to the family."

"Yes just wait until we get home and tell you and everyone else about how he is not only Tony level genius, but is super powered too," Pepper grins getting into the car.

Happy's face turns into one of shock, "Wh-wh-what?!"

Tony laughs at his face and climbs in and shuts the door, "hurry up Hap, we wanna get home and tell everyone the news right away! We have lots to do before tomorrow's walk through!"

Happy shakes his head and groans, great a super powered Little with Tony's smarts, Happy only hopes that he doesn't have Tony's ability to find trouble or they may all be in trouble.

Tony and Pepper lean into each other, "we found him Tony, we finally found our baby." 

"Yes we did and this is all possible because of you Pep, I love you. Thank you so much," Tony smiles and kisses her head. 

Happy looks in the mirror to see Pepper and Tony cuddling together, he then puts up the divider so they could have some privacy to bask in the happiness of finally finding their Little. 

~*~

Once they got into the parking garage of the Tower, Tony and Pepper get out and turn to Happy, "we are going up the Avengers common room to give the good news, come join us and then after we need you to install the car seat. Amber is coming tomorrow with Peter for a walk through and we need everything in place. Amber Russell is Peter's Caregiver so prepare for her arrival tomorrow morning. FRIDAY dear, please make sure that Amber Russell and Peter Parker is added to the system and is allowed to enter the Penthouse and if she needs to go to the Avengers Common room, shit!"

"Tony what is it?" Pepper asks.

"We forgot the Avengers Common room, we have to Little proof it, and now that we know about Peter we have to add extra security protocols. FRIDAY remind me after our meeting with the Avengers that I need to update and add protocols to your system in regard to Peter, our new Little."

"Reminder is in place for protocol update," FRIDAY says.

"Come on Tony let's go up and tell everyone first then we will start Little proofing the Avengers floor, I am sure they would love to help," Pepper says. "We will get everything done in time, don't worry." 

The three get onto the elevator and FRIDAY takes them up to the Avengers common room. Holding hands the door open when they arrive at the Avengers floor and when it does the sight that greets them is one that shocks them. 

"I told you already it is upside down!" Sam yells at Clint.

Clint glares up at Sam, "and I said it isn't!"

"Sam! Clint! We already installed the highchair and Little proofed this whole floor, why are you still installing that Little play pen? You had one job and you said you could do it blind folded," Natasha stands there with her arms cross. "And Rhodey what do you think you are going just sitting there, why are you not helping them?"

"Hey I tried, Nat, they said they could do it, I just got back here from a video conference so don't blame me," Rhodey shrugs.

Tony, Pepper and Happy look around to see that they did indeed Little proof the floor, all weapons that were laying around were put away, probably in the closet where there is a Little proof handle on. A play mat has been put down, a toy box is in the corner, and stuffed animals are on the couch and decorating the toy box area. The TV has been moved from being on a TV stand to being attached to the wall so the Little couldn't accidently knock it over. Anything breakable has been moved to shelves that has been installed, and instead of magazines on the table there are science and stories for a Little.

"What is going on in here?" Tony asks.

Everyone stops and looks up at the newest arrival, "Tony, Pepper, Happy, welcome back we are almost done," Steve says walking out of the kitchen area. 

"Steve have you and Bucky finished the kitchen and dining room?" Natasha asks. 

"Yes, the highchair is built and at the table, we put on all the Little proof locks and handles, we are just waiting for Wanda and Vision to get back with the new plates and cups to put away in the cabinet space we made," Bucky says coming up behind Steve. Looking down they see Sam and Clint still working on the Little play pen. 

"Seriously guys?" Steve sighs. He then looks up to see Tony, Pepper and Happy still standing in the elevator entry way. "Welcome back, how did it go?"

"Assuming you are over two hours late, can we assume correctly that it went well?" Natasha says. 

"Well since Wanda and Vision are not here I think we should way before saying anything," Tony grins.

"Before saying what?" Wanda asks as her and Vision appear in the through the balcony door way. Vision fazing them through, Wanda walks over to Steve and hands him two bags. "Here are Little cups, plates, utensils and bibs. We also picked up a step stool, and Little baking/ cooking utensils in case we have them make cookies or cook with us," Wanda says. "I even found this Little chef hat and apron," She smiles brightly, digging it out and holding it up for everyone to see. Everyone aww's at it, she then looks over at Sam and Clint, "really? You started that before we left and you still haven't figured it out?"

"Oh leave us alone! It is more difficult then a baby play pen okay?" Clint exclaims and everyone laughs. 

Pepper looks over at Tony, "see I told you everything would be fine."

"As always you are right," Tony smiles. "So does anyone want to explain what is going on in here?"

"Well since you told us you are going to be adopting a Little, you said that Pepper has already set up things in the penthouse. Well we all got thinking and you don't expect to have a Little running around and not have them see us so if a Little is going to be here on the team floor then we have to Little proof it," Bruce says walking out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. 

"Or were you never going to bring them down to visit?" Natasha smirks.

"Of course I would bring him down to visit, I just forgot about Little proofing his floor until just 10 minutes ago," Tony says.

"Him? So you did find one?" Wanda says.

"Everyone can we have your attention," Tony claps his hands, everyone just stare at him.

"This morning Pepper and I left the tower to attend a meeting at Little Adoptions," Tony says, Pepper rolls her eyes at his dramatics. "We left with hopes that we would find our Little today. As we arrived we were greeted by a horrible woman who I would blast with my repulsors if I could but I digress, we were lead to were the Little's were playing and we played with them." Tony says. "However we didn't find a connection with a Little," at this everyone's face turns to shock.

"Bu-but they way you came in the way you are acting, what happened?" Steve asks.

"Well as we were about to leave we were stopped by an," Tony looks to Pepper, "by a very interesting Caregiver, her name is Amber, she informed us of a Little that wasn't present at the meeting, and she lead us to him. His name is Peter and we found our connection with him," Tony grins. At that everyone let's out a cheer and offer up congratulations to him. 

"So come on in sit down tell us all about him!" Natasha says.

"Yes I think it is wise for us to all sit down, we have much to tell you about Peter and some of it you guys are not going to like," Pepper says.

Immediately everyone went serious and sat down, "is something wrong with him?" Sam asks.

"Nothing is wrong with him, other then he will need a lot of love and support from us," Pepper growls.

"Sorry I didn't mean it like that," Sam says.

"I know, but once you hear his story you will understand," Pepper sighs.

"So here is the gist of it, Peter's parents were killed in a plane crash when he was 5 years old, his aunt and uncle murdered when he was 11. According to Amber, his Caregiver, both were left unsolved or with a fake official report. In both cases Amber believes that it was Oscorp who are behind the murder or the Parkers."

"Parkers?" Bruce asks. "As is Richard and Mary Parker?"

"You know them?" Tony asks.

"I did, we attended some science conventions together. I once got the pleasure of meeting their son, he was just a baby when I met him, and then things went south for me after that and I never saw them again," Bruce says sadly. 

"Well you will get to meet Peter again," Tony says. "He is brilliant, he made his own Iron Man helmet, I am his favorite Avenger," Tony grins. 

"Tony," Pepper says hitting his shoulder, "don't gloat," she smiles. 

"Anyways he redesigned his toy Iron Man helmet into a functioning helmet. He installed noise cancelling headphone, light shields, function lights in the eyes, and sound effects in the gloves to sound like a repulsor firing."

"Hold on a minute Tones, what about the murders?" Rhodey asks.

"There is nothing we can do, it has already been dealt with as best as the law can do, and with no evidence against Oscorp, nothing can be done."

"But then how do you know it was them and not someone else?" Clint asks.

"Amber Russell is a Caregiver with special abilities, the agency she works for is tied with SHIELD and the X-Men, but even with the information they gathered no criminal charges can be brought as nothing leads back to Norman," Tony explains.

"And Amber is Peter's Caregiver?" Natasha asks.

"Don't go looking into it Natasha trust me, she is someone we want on our side and if you piss her off she has the power to hurt us, by not signing off on Peter being here. Besides I think you and her would get along great, she takes shit from no one, she is strong and the best thing in Peter's life right now," Tony warns.

Natasha smiles in reassurance that she will not do anything.

"She is Peter's Caregiver at the moment, when Peter was sent to the orphanage he was treated badly by the head woman because he is different. They forced him to be a Little even before he was classified, they humiliated him. When Amber got there and got him classified he refuses to go into his headspace, he is terrified of being a Little and she has helped him come a long ways to feeling safe. He will need all of us to help make him feel safe being in his headspace, so please try not to over whelm him. If he isn't in his Little space don't pressure him into going in it, he will when he feels safe to," Tony explains.

He sees all the sadness and anger on their faces at his news.

"Please don't bring up this in front of Peter, his past is hard and we want him to look to the future and not be reminded of all he lost," Pepper says.

"We would never, we will all make him feel welcomed here, and make sure he feels safe," Steve says and everyone nods in agreement. 

Tony nods, "good, now of for the last bit of news about Peter, he um, well Pep how should I word this delicately?"

"Tony just tell us!" Sam says.

"Ya dude just spit it out!" Clint groans.

"Well Peter has abilities," Tony says. 

"He has abilities?" Natasha asks.

"Yes, he got bit by a spider and got powers, so don't be surprised if he lifts say a car over his head, or climbs walls, apparently he likes to be on the ceiling so, be prepared for that," Tony grins and then full out laughs at the looks on their faces.

"He can lift a car?" Steve asks in disbelief.

"He climbs walls?" Bruce asks.

"Yup," Tony says, "he also has crazy fast healing and a fast metabolism, he has a sixth sense to danger and has sensory sensitivity so no loud noises and no strong lights, so ya I think that is about it, in regards to Peter. So excited to meet him?"

"HELL YES!" Clint yells.

"I can't wait to meet him now," Sam says.

"Smart, and has powers; so you managed to find a super powered Tony. Great we are all in trouble now," Bucky says making everyone laugh.

"He is so cute though, I know you all will love him," Pepper says. 

"Amber and Peter will be coming by tomorrow morning for a walk through to make sure everything is up to code and safe for a Little to be here," Tony says. "So I need to go update FRIDAY and get some new protocols in place for him."

"And Happy and I are going to go finish installing Little gates and locks on the cabinets, and then he is going to install the car seat, and I have work to finish up after that. Think you can finish the play pen by tomorrow morning Clint?" Pepper asks.

"Ha ha ha," Clint mocks.

"Yes he will have it done because we are all here with nothing to do until then so we will all make sure he finishes it," Natasha says. 

"Excellent, we will see you later for a celebration dinner then?" Pepper says.

Everyone nods in confirmation.

Pepper and Happy head up to the penthouse to finish preparing for tomorrow.

Tony heads towards the elevator to go towards his lab when he is stopped by Bruce. "Brucie- Bear what can I do for you?"

"Tony, if Peter's metabolism is as fast as Steve's and so his his healing, we may have to look into getting a blood sample so we can make medication for him in case he is sick or needs anything in regards to his health. Any normal medication or sedatives will not work," Bruce explains.

"Shit I didn't think of that. Okay, well he has a big problem with doctors and needles. So I will talk with Amber tomorrow and see about the best way to handle an appointment like that. Dr. Cho should be involved in case she needs to treat him, she needs to know how his healing and body works as a mutant and a Little," Tony says. "Thank you for bring that up, I will look into it and we can tackle it together," Tony smiles.

"I would be happy to help," Bruce smiles. 

Tony then leaves to head to his lab, "FRIDAY remind me tomorrow to ask Amber about getting Peter's blood sample so we can work on getting medication ready for him."

"Reminder has been made, Boss."

Tony enters his lab and sits down in his lab, "FRIDAY, baby girl you ready to make some new protocols?"

"Yes Boss, as per your conversation with the Avenger's I have made a list of protocols you may wish to implement," FRIDAY says as she puts the list up on the holographic screen.

Tony looks over the protocols, "FRI, baby girl you are amazing."

"Thank you Boss, I have also added some that would help me to keep Peter safe."

"Peter, oh FRI I can't wait for you to meet him, he is so cute and amazing and smart. Oh add that he is not able to make any changes to any protocol without my say so."

"Of course Boss, shall we review the list and add as needed."

"Let's do it. We want to keep him safe but not be over bearing or make him feel like he is in a prison. So if he is in his big headspace then he is allowed to go to the Avengers floor alone, as you can look out for him, he is allowed in my lab if I am with him or if I am in the lab he has access to come in, he is to always have access to any room I or Pepper are in. Windows are to always be locked in the rooms he is in unless he is in his Big space and wants some fresh air. He is never to leave the tower unless accompanied by myself, Pepper, Happy, Rhodey or one of the Avengers. If he is being taken out by anyone other then Pepper or I, Pepper and I must be notified, immediately, no questions."

"Of course Boss," FRIDAY says.

"Alright, if Peter is in any distress regardless of headspace I want to be notified, if I am sleeping wake me up or Pepper if I am not available." Tony runs his hand through his hair. "He is a mutant FRIDAY, he needs a protocol for if he is having sensory overload, dim the lights sound proof the room, and maybe play something soft and soothing for him until I or Pepper can get to him. Oh and FRIDAY this is the most important, when it comes to keeping Peter safe, in case of a break in or anyone threatening him, you have my permission to access the Iron Legion and eliminate the threat as you see fit."

"It would be my pleasure Boss," FRIDAY says, and Tony could practically hear the smile in her voice. 

Tony works on the protocols and finishes them in time for dinner; 54 protocols were made covering as many areas from his safety to if he needs anything, to having a list of Little shows to watch, music to play depending on his headspace.

After dinner they have game night with celebratory drinks; Pepper joining them, Happy stayed for dinner and then left to do his rounds and security meetings to update them about tomorrow.

Tony and Pepper went to bed that night and celebrated together their happiness about finally finding their Little.

They both fell into an exhausted sleep that night with a smile on their faces.
