Out Of Time

sixty-seven

Y/N and Tony spent every second they could together. Though work and missions still happened, they made sure to make time together. It was mid-July when Y/N decided to surprise Tony. Just because she could. She had been in Tennessee and decided to stop by Rose Hill to officially meet Harley, the boy who helped Tony during the whole Killian incident. She enjoyed seeing the boy fanning over her. Harley took Y/N on a tour of his garage that Tony had updated, but Y/N asked if he would like to spend a week in New York with them at the Tower.

"Are you serious?!" He questioned, surprised.

"Very," Y/N smiled with a nod.

"Is Tony okay with this?"

"Here's the thing, kid. He doesn't know I'm here and inviting you to stay with us. It's a surprise."

"I'm a surprise for Tony Stark?"

"Yes. Plus, you deserve a visit after help him save the world."

It wasn't hard to get Harley's mother on board. She was overwhelmed anyway. The boy could hardly sit still on the jet ride over. Y/N couldn't help but laugh at the boy, who reminded her so much of Tony. When they arrived at the Tower, Harley couldn't stop gawking at it.

"So, Tony isn't here right now," Y/N said, guided Harley into the building. "But that gives me time to show you around. First things, first, JARVIS!"

"Welcome back, Agent Rogers," JARVIS greeted. "I hope the mission went well."

"Thank you, JARVIS. This is Harley Keener. Please give him access to the lab, the common floors, and the guest floor."

"Of course. Welcome Mr. Kenner."

"Uhh... thanks," Harley replied, looking around the room.

"JARVIS is the AI in charge of the whole building," Y/N explained. "If you need anything or anyone, ask J."

"Okay."

Harley seemed to enjoy the tour, asking questions about how everything worked nonstop. Y/N didn't have any of the answers, of course, and kept telling the curious boy to save the questions for Tony. Around dinner time, Y/N had ordered in and her and Harley were currently dishes up their plates when Tony exited the elevator.

"Hey, honey," Tony greeted, not noticing Harley just yet. "I'm sorry I couldn't be here when you got home. Pepper had me- wait, what's going on here? What's the kid doing here?"

"Hey, Tony," Harley greeted.

"Surprise," Y/N grinned. "I thought it would be nice to have Harley over, sort of as a reward for helping save the world."

"Okay..." Tony skeptically said, slowly coming closer to the other two. "You know, I was kind of hoping that we could have some you and me time, since you've been on a week," he muttered, passing by Y/N.

"And I thought that we could have some, after being good hosts to our honored guest here." Y/N leaned in to whispered to Tony, "and if you don't act nice, you don't get anything."

"Rude," Tony grumbled before kissing her on the cheek. "So, Harley," Tony started, as he filled his plate up, "ever done an all nighter in a professional lab?"

One night, Y/N had fallen asleep on the couch, watching a movie by herself while the boys worked in the lab. She was suddenly woken up by a loud bang, echoing through the tower. She jumped up while grabbing the gun that was hidden under the coffee table. Aiming it in front of her, Y/N begin to make her way towards the labs.

"JARVIS?" She called out. "What happened?"

"It appears Mr. Stark and Mr. Keener have caused an explosion in the lab," the AI answered calmly.
