Scamander's family follows Peper inside. Just then someone cleared his throat behind them, Alice turned and saw it was two of many assistants who worked there and wanted to take their baggage. Every suitcase had been taken except one, Alice's suitcase which had the creatures. One of them, the old looked at her with kind eyes and pointed to the bag ready to take it from her but Alice touched his shoulder and gently shook her, making him smile. He was ready to leave when a click had been heard from the bag that made him turn around.

Alice didn't panic she sighed and said hoping he understood nothing
"Omg I can't believe it, I have to fix it again "

He looked at her like nothing had happened and left with the young assistant

Alice experienced a surge of unease when she heard a sudden clicking sound, aware of what or who caused it. The surroundings were adorned with luxurious trinkets and grand accessories that were desirable to both humans and nifflers. This was a nightmare scenario for Alice and Rolf, and Rolf didn't need to look at his sister to understand her thoughts. However, Richard instructed them to continue moving forward to prevent them from getting lost.

Time skip

"Tony will be here at any minute he has a job outside " Peper informed them

"Isn't late for a job, is it? Alice's father said with interest while he went to the kitchen

"He is out, putting clean energy in the tower " She explained.

The three visitors were looking at each other not understanding so much. Alice followed her dad and went to get a glass of water from the fridge and took a sip as she sat down on the sofa next to her brother. He put his hands around her and kissed her blond curly hair.

"Oh wait he calls me," Peper told them.

"Tony assuming that the arc reactor takes over and it works, " Peper said to Tony through hologram call

" I assume. Light her up "

Alice saw Peper tap something on the computer and the tower lit up,

"How does it look?" Pepper asked

"Like Christmas as but with more... me " they heard him say and let out a laugh with the comment.

"We have gotta go wide on the public awareness campaign, you gotta do some press. I am in DC tomorrow I am working on the zoning for the next three buildings-

"Peper you are killing me the moment " Tony interrupted her quickly "Remember, enjoy the moment"

"Then get in here and I will " she murmured " And I have a surprise for you," she said looking at the family

" I can't wait I am on my way "he teases her thinking other things as a surprise.

As Tony landed his jaw dropped from what he saw in front of him, or I might say who.

"Guys omg what are you doing here I thought you were coming next week, and I was planning a big party for your welcome" hugged his nephew and granddaughter tightly and went to his old friend smiling, shaking hands with Richard.

" We wanted to make you a surprise " Richard explained while he was sitting down on the sofa with a glass of champagne Peper gave to him.

"Well, what a pleasant surprise, I couldn't wait to see you and see what I made with Peppers's help.

Pepper and Tony were engaged in a heated discussion about percentages, while Alice's attention was drawn to the photographs of her and her siblings on the wall. She realized that her father had sent Tony these photos over the years. 

"I asked your father for your photos," Tony stated, embracing her, "I wanted to feel as though you and your siblings were here with me. You know, even though I don't have a daughter, I feel as though you are one to me." 

Alice confided in Tony about how much she missed her goddaughter's life, and Tony comforted her, affirming his pride in the person she had become.

Minutes later a voice spoke and said "Sir the telephone. I am afraid my protocols are being overwritten"

"Stark we need to talk "
Tony took his hologram and held it in front of his face
"You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a message.

"Then leave it urgently I have guests."

Then the elevator doors opened to reveal
a tall man in his 40s wearing a black suit coming inside having in his hand something. As Alice noticed it was a tablet.

" We need to talk, " the man said

"Coulson "
