Seeing Ghosts(Avengers)Moon/Lady

“...fine.”Clint said smiling slightly, blushing at steve’s words, and not answering the question.”...oh.that’s right. Dork is Cap now....”Tony muttered blushing as he realized he’d made the mistake he’d always done, only recognized one Captain, his ever present steve. “Very true. Pepper is amazing, we should invite the family over, steve should meet everyone.”Tony said perking up at the memory of his in-laws, before nodding a little. “Definitely want to get out of here.”he smiled as he put the baby into the carrier and heading for the car, glad that happy had gotten them a nice well disguised car that fit in, smiling as he settled steven in the car seat, fidgeting as they headed back to the tower.
 
Seve chuckled and James grinned because he did the same thing. he still looked around for Steve when someone called out for 'cap'. "i'll call them. they should all meet the newest family member." she agreed. "we should list Phil and Clint as the Godparents though, just in case. James as a second and... maybe Zachery as a third?" Zachery was the only one in Pepper's family who had only two children. both adopted because his husband couldn't have kids. every single person in Pepper's family absolutely adored Tony and went well out of their way to make him feel like a part of the family. even calling him on his birthday and sending him cards. Pepper helped Tony settle the baby into the carrier and into the car seat. Steve stayed i the 'trunk' ad watched Steve closely, making sure the baby stayed safe. little tyke slept the whole way home, sucking on a pacifier that Pepper always carried with her. who knew when a brother was going to visit?
 
“Good. They should. Though you have to tell them that they have to behave, and no loud noises, and be careful and nice.”Tony huffed already fussing over the baby enough that he was getting a little obsessive of protecting him. “Yes. I like that. They’d be good.”Tony said pleased with the idea for godparents, smiling slightly as they settled into the car, smiling quietly as steven sucked on the pacifer happily.

A few days later tony smiled sleepily looking up from where he was laying, steven sleeping on his stomach as he listened to the recordings of osborne and the president, glancing up at the others. “Hey.”He muttered tugging a headphone out as he looked up at pepper. “When did Zach say they’d be here?”He said always eager to see her family, and he wanted to introduce steve and steven to him, because the two rogers boys meant alot to him, so re-introducing them was good and exciting for him.
 
Pepper smiled. "they know how to behave around a newborn." she promised. "and we'll introduce the kids to Steven one at a time." she promised, smiling a little.

Pepper smiled at him. she loved watching Tony with the baby and had Jarvis take so many pictures it was rather ridiculous. at this age all Steven did was eat, sleep, poop and cry so there wasn't a whole lot of excitement. the biggest thing that had happened was Steve freaking out because Steven got the Hiccups. "Zach will be here in an hour, Clyde is already here, him and Karen are waiting in the lobby for the others, Kevin will be here in ten minutes, Codi is about two hours yet. Brandon is about thirty minutes and..." she paused and flipped open her phone. "Alex just got here." she informed him with a smile. "he and Allison will wait downstairs too." she admitted, chuckling. "poor Steve isn't going to know what to do with himself. James is here too. he wants to meet the Potts Family." she admitted before smirking. "although, at this point, Clan would be a more appropriate title."
 
Tony smiled a little as steven stirred, cooing a little at the sight of his mother, before nodding. “Good. Well. Come on kiddo, lets go meet the family.”Toyn said tossing his phone and headphones onto the couch as he got up carefully, “and he wont. It’ll be great. I love introducing steve to your family.”he snickered before smirking. “Hm, it is a little like the highlanders these days, totally clannish and huge.”He teased stealing a kiss before nudging her a little. “Lets go then.”
 
Pepper smiled and laid a gentle kiss on the baby's cheek. "no no. stay here. they'll come up." she promised him with a chuckle as Steve slid through the doors and into the room. "Jarvis said some of the 'heathens' are here...." he commented, Pepper snorting. "Jarvis would you be nice?" she demanded, amused. "tell them to come up would you?" she asked. "highlanders?" Steve asked, his head tilted. soon enough Clyde, with his three sets of twins and Alex, three boys and a girl where upstairs, greeting Tony with soft words and mighty hugs. all Potts people where red headed, the wives where not but all but three of the children had the bright hair that Pepper and their daddies shared. "Daddy! Daddy! that man is see through!" informed one of the precocious six year olds. "....god... he really is here." Clyde whispered, stunned by the ghostly image of Steve. "i mean, when Ginny told me that they had the ghost of Steve rogers here...." "ginny?" Steve asked, looking confused. most of the family called Pepper Ginny, Gin, and one even called her Ginia. because her name was Virginia. it was Tony who had coined the 'Pepper' Nickname.
 
“Okay.”Tony smiled a little as he settled back onto the couh, looking up at steve in amusement. “They are heathens, they get gross stuff all over the tech when I let them test it.”tony whined a little. “I will try, Pepper.”Jarvis answered sounding amused. “Yes, highlanders. As in scottish highlanders, who reproduce in clans and in obscene numbers.”Tony snickered a little smiling as he looked up at clyde, tilting his head a little. “He is....And yes. Ginny is Pepper. Her family calls her pepper, but after she threatened my security guys the first time I met her with pepper spray, I decided pepper was a better name.”
 
Steve laughed and Pepper chuckled a little at Tony's complaints. "would you be nice?" she complained playfully to Tony. "never heard of them. is it a historical thing, or modern thing?" Steve asked curiously. Steve only had a single year of high-school under his belt. back 'in his day' school was expensive and mostly unneeded if you where going to be a grunt worker. a lot of rather impressive jobs didn't need a school education back in his day. "huh. i didn't know that. i just thought her name WAS Pepper." Steve admitted, making Clyde laugh. "i haven't heard that Story!" Alex said, laughing. "Kevin's here! he and Lola will be up with their brood of four." Steve blinked a little. "....how many brothers did you say you had?" "six." "....and how many kids?" "oh, Zach has two, the rest have four or more." "....your not a family your an army!"
 
"I'm nice to people who can not gum up tech....and the captain. You have to forgive him for doing time as a capsicle."well at least it was good to see tony's sense of humor had settled and stayed,more relaxed now that steve was around to take care of him. Thankfully frigga should be arriving in the next few days with thor,so they might have their answers soon. But for the moment, he was intent of enjoying pepper's family."historical."tony said smiling slightly."nope its actually Virginia Potts stark, but pepper fits her better.....and she was determined to show me a error in my math. Sadly she was correct,granted it doesn't happen often but I can be wrong....figured a woman willing to threaten my security AND tell me I was wrong was worth keeping around."tony snickered."see cap,we'll never have to rebuild the avengers team, I have the Potts army on call, the world will tremble in fear of them...I really should pitch that idea to shield..."cause despite being director there was still the bureoratic bulls hit to wade through to do anything.
 
Pepper rolled her eyes. "just because Jason wanted to see if your ketchup shooter could use peanut butter too does not mean they all will." Jason was Brandon's Life Partner, Brandon's wife Julie also had an incident with tech when she accidentally spilled baby formula all over Dum-E and shorted him out. neither where allowed in the lab ever again though Brandon was welcome since he was a mathematical genius and never touched anything without permission. "ah. must have been world history then? i never took that class." Steve admitted with a shrug before snickering at the idea of a precocious just out of collage Pepper beating people up and scoffing at Tony. he didn't know it, but all of the Potts family where extremely 'well to do'. with Doctors, Lawyers, 5-star chefs and even a Minor Actress they all had jobs to be proud of. Pepper being a CEO was just another Achievement for the Pott's family. the only person in the Potts family that didn't have an impressive Resume was Jason, but with seven daughters, he was a very impressive homemaker. "Tony, i think that they would be unwilling to be an army, being that over 2/3'ds of them are children." James warned, grinning when all the kids, freaked out. there where only three couples there so far. Clyde, Alex and Kevin who had just come up. yet there where fourteen kids in the room. "....holy shit." Steve mumbled, making Pepper laugh.
 
"Yes it does. But I'm glad Brandon coming. Maybe he can help me figure out the mechanics of steve being here."tony smiled pleased and happy to have another genius on si gh t, his brother in law filling the hole in his life that had been bruce's, letting him talk like himself and having someone understand it all."yes world history."tony agreed with a smile."noo. The Potts children gang up on me all the time. Definitely army material here."tony argued even as he shifted to let the kids all inspect their newest cousin trying to relax and not worry even if his head was starting to hurt some as he connected to the world. Even here in this happy moment he was still monitoring the world,making sure it wasn't falling apart just yet.
 
Pepper smiled. "Mary will be here too, she might be able to help too." Mary was Codi's wife. she was a chemist for the U.S Government. she worked on ways to create non-lethal sleep gasses, non-lethal paralytics and other such ways to put down an enemy. she was also working on ways to make acids that would eat only certain items, binders that would allow certain chemicals to react with each other or remain inert, and even looking for a cure to certain chemically induced diseases, like cancer caused by asbestos. she was almost as smart as Tony, though she rarely had anything to do with tech at all. "they're children." James scoffed. "they know your a weak target so they gang up on you knowing you'll give them anything they ask for." he teased, even if he was handing out signed Captain America cards for all the little blighters.

soon, all of the Family was there. thirty kids, thirteen adults. the youngest child was two years old, the eldest was sixteen. all where well behaved around the baby, whispering softly so as to not disturb little Steven. they only started getting loud when they where in the children's play rooms Tony had built forever ago for the various kids that visited the tower. sometimes one of Tony's S.I. or Shield Agents couldn't get a babysitter, or whatnot, so they just brought the child to work with them. thus the playrooms. Steve was already dizzy from trying to remember forty three new names and Pepper was laughing at him. James wasn't fairing much better. he had expected a group, but forty three people!? his wrist was never going to recover. "that guy in the three way relationship had SEVEN DAUGHTERS!" James gasped, mortified. who had seven daughters?! who willingly got pregnant that many times?! Steve started to snicker, amused.
 
"Oh good. Mary's awesoke.you'll like her cap. She's sweet."toNY grinned happy to be with hisfamily, amused before making a face at james."I am not that weak. I can resist children.if I can control shield these kids are easy."tony said even if everyone knew he was horrible and utterly lost to a kid as soon as they asked him for anything.

"Yes he does. I can't imagine living with all those females.it has to be truly terrifying in his house at least one week a month."tony snickered amused as he moved away from pepper. Even holding a baby he didn't trust her not to smack him for saying it. Looking up startled at the sound of Thunder he glanced at james."thought you said he woulsnt be here for a week..." "we thought so but we also told him steveN had arrived. Knowing thoe,he's probably brought present and glad tidings."Clint mused as indeed it looked like the blond thunder god and his mother came inside carrying presents."lady pepper, tony, I'm glad to hear your good news."thor said his voice lower then it's usual roar as to not upset the baby.
 
Pepper rolled her eyes and smacked his arm. she had to, god forbid Julie think she was taking Tony's side. she was the mother of said seven daughters and was quite sensitive about their honor. Phil shrugged when he heard the thunder, pleased to see Thor and Frigga. the illusions where still coming, if more slowly than before thanks to Steve's constant intervention. "Greetings." Frigga said, smiling at them all before doing a double take at Steve, her eyes brightening. a smile spreading across her lips. "the man out of time." she mused, her head tilted. "how interesting." "it's a pleasure to meet you Ma'am." "oh no, the pleasure is all mine." Frigga assured the man, letting Steve kiss her knuckles, James blushing a little as he watched the woman. "i heard of your problems." Frigga admitted, turning her attention to Tony. "there's magic all over you." she admitted, looking a bit concerned. "i'm impressed with how sane you are, not many could suffer such personal attacks and remain level headed, even with the help of friends and family. you are indeed a strong man."
 
"What is it with you super soldiers?I think Odin's got something to worry about if you keep hitting on his wife."tony teased as thor rolled his eyes,the god having learned to not take tony's teasing seriously. Ineed it was like having loki around again."what?"tony looked at frigga startled at her words from slightly."I didnt...what?"he stuttered at a loss on what happened how the magic came or that she was complementing him."can you help him lady frigga?"clint interrupted to just give tony time to recover
 
Steve snorted and Frigga giggled a little, shaking her head. she adored Tony, really. she bore him no ill feelings for the death of her son. "yes, i can help him." she admitted. "the nice thing about these kinds of attacks, are that the person sending them cannot see what they are doing unless he is within line of sight." she admitted. "one cannot create hallucinations and Scry at the same time, they will not know i am here." she admitted. "even if they do, they will most likely not stop, thinking their distance will keep them safe." she admitted. "they forget who i am if that is the case." she admitted. "once one of the hallucinations appear, i can capture their essence, and track them, no matter where they run, or how they hide." she admitted. "now." she looked at the baby, a soft expression on her lips. "i wish to bless the little one." she admitted. being the Queen of Asgard, the Grand sorceress, and one of the Vanir, she could directly manipulate any child's future. she rarely did it, she hadn't even done it for her own children, though she had indeed blessed Loki. unfortunately, someone else cursed him at the same time, twisting his future. she gently settled the baby in her arms and leaned her head, kissing his brow. "Steven Anthony Stark, you will lead the people of earth to a time of peace, prosperity, and advancement." she said, voice warm with Power. "you will be strong, you will be Healthy, you will have the power of Love, Affection, and Leadership." she smiled at the baby. "you are the Chosen One, the Golden Child, and you will live a long and happy life." she promised. "and you will exist, in all times." she promised the baby, and Steve both. then she handed the child back to Tony.
 
"Mother is very skilled. She is the best person to help tony."thor said looking upset himself that someone had indeed been messing with his friend and eager to hurt the one who did it. "Okay..."tony looked startled at the offer of a blessing, amazed that the woman would want to bless him like that when he'd gotten her son killed. "Thank you frigga. That was beautiful."tony said softly looking up at the woman with wide tearful eyes. So touched by her words smiking quietly."golden child. Makes sense its steve's kid."he teased a little
 
Frigga smiled at Thor. he was always understating, the silly boy. Thor was many things, but understanding Magic wasn't one of them. "i am the most powerful sorceress in the nine realms." Frigga explained. "i contain, and control all magic users. they are supposed to speak to me before doing things like this. rouge magic users are very serious. if this person is dangerous, i will have to cull them." she admitted, just like Loki had said all those years ago. 'rouge magic users are dangerous, power likes ours can easily go out of even our own control. there are times when death would be preferable to being a puppet trapped in Magics grip. there are also times when grief just breaks you, and magic takes advantage.' "your very welcome." she promised him with a smile. "your son only needed a few tweaks to his fate is all." she admitted. "i have made it so that even if someone fiddles with time, you and Steve will always have little Steven." she admitted to Tony, smiling. "being how may time twisters there are in this realm, i thought it a good idea."
 
"Well its good to know this wasn't done with your approval."tony said smiling quietly as he remembered what loki had said about magic using the people sometimss. The thought of that happening had scared the man enough to abandon his search for a way to use magic. It was bad enough he had extremis to use."..."tony looked between the go's and steve frowning slightly."I feel like you three know stuff we dont..."he grumbled smiling a little as he listened to the kids in the other room before looking at frigga."we have to wait for the hallucination To SHOW Up now?"He Said His Voice Trembling A little. No matter what he said, they bothered him
 
she shook her head. "magic should never, ever be used for revenge. magic is a very fickle power and it doesn't typically like being used for things it doesn't like to do." she admitted. "whoever this is will suffer for what they have done even if i don't get there." she admitted. "i am sorry Tony." Frigga admitted with a smile. "if it makes you feel better, Thor is clueless." all Thor could tell was that Steve stank of Loki's magic. "yes. but don't worry." she promised. "once i have the hallucination in hand, i can hold them permanently. their effects will leave you. i imagine there is an emotional enhancer built into them to make you feel their presence more strongly." she admitted. "plus a small charm to make you not question them too much. i would be impressed if i wasn't so pissed off. this level of magic is very nearly on par with my own." she admitted. "i will lay a enchantment on you right now, with your permission of course, so that when the hallucination does appear you will neither see nor hear hem." she assured Tony.
 
"So loki told me once. Said magic was picky about things it did."tony smiled slightly."indeed, I do not know for sure what is going on. We shall figure it out together,tony."thor sId smiling a little. "That does indeed make me feel better."tony huffed before smiling slightly."I'd be impressed to if they weren't happening to me."tony agreed before wincing as he realized the hallucination was going to happen before nodding eagerly."please...seeing them like that is hard,even knowing that they aren't real."
 
Frigga smiled. "Loki trusted you a lot." she admitted. "he rather adored you really." she admitted with a smile, knowing Loki would only have told Tony some of the 'Laws' of magic, if he trusted Tony completely. "don't get involved Thor." Frigga ordered calmly. "what is happening, must happen at it's own pace." she smiled at Tony. "you will know, soon enough, what the truth is." she promised. "they are not real." she agreed, setting her had gently on Tony's face and stroking downwards, making his entire head tingle. "there. ow when they appear, you will not see or hear a thing." she promised him. "even if i'm not here." she promised.
 
"I adored him alot to. It was a horrible day in the tower when he died."indeed it had been,with pepper having to stop him from going full tilt super Villian and taking care of things. "Sorry tony...yes mother..."thor said looking at the man, worried about what he'd do when he knew what was going on. Tony sighed softly."it's fine..."he muttered."thank you lady feigga."tony muttered as he shuddered Cringing a little at the touch frowning slightly."...does all magic feel like the when it's used on you?"cause he'd had that feeling before.
 
"it was a sad day in Asgard as well. his sacrifice of his life to save Jane, well. it certainly made people see him in a different light." Frigga admitted with a smile. "i always knew he had it in him, but even a good man can fall off the path lit by light once and a while." she admitted, kissing his forehead. "i am glad you did not let your grief take you off your path." she admitted. "how did.... how did he die?" Steve asked softly. "it depends on the Magic, but yes if it directly affects you, it tingles." Frigga admitted. "why?"
 
Tony nodded a little thinking about the man. Quiet as he remembered loki before looking at loki. "The dark elves attacked and nearly kied hane...instead loki sacrificed himself to save heR."tony answered tilting his head slightly. Frowning a little at frigga words he sighed quietly."cause this is what I felt when I visited my doctor about the visions..."
