Last chapter for tonight guys sorry.

Tony's Age: 16 years old

Percy's Age: 30 mentally (roughly 3 and a three-fourth wolf years--aging slowly)

Tony had hold himself in one of the science labs again. The only time he would go out is when I would annoy him enough for him to actually get something to eat at my incidence.

Though some periods to eat I would let him slide or go out of the lab to grab something from the vending machine (in human form invisible) and then bring it back to him in my wolf form.

The only reason I was so lenient with him spending so much time in the science labs was because tomorrow was the Science Fair where his mom and Jarvis would be coming by to see and Tony was doing last minute fixes to his project.

I have been the only other person other than Tony who has seen the project, mostly because Tony was testing stuff with me helping him.

The project was a partly artificial intelligent robot that recognizes Tony voice and orders. Has a large vocabulary and will try to do what Tony says. For the most part it works.

And amazingly enough or completely by accident, it also acts like it has emotions. Which is relatively unheard of in the science word, a machine having feelings.

it knows when Tony's disappointed in it (him? I'm gonna go with him) or even proud of him.

My part of helping the project is that the machine is for mostly throwing a ball. So pretty much Tony's been making me fetch, but that was okay but it was actually kind of a fun way to spend my day.

So when the Science Fair came I wasn't that surprised Tony came in first with the robot he named Dum-E for the limited vocabulary and actions the robot did, but I could also tell he loved the robot a lot.

"We're proud of you Tony." Jarvis said with a soft smile as we went out for a ice-cream like old times, though Dum-E was whirring in the back this time.

"Thanks Jarvis." Tony said with a smile, I could feel how proud he was to hear this from Jarvis and then his mother agreeing afterward with a slight cough.

Tony looked concern at his mother when she coughed and I heard her chest rattle lightly, "Are you okay mom?" Tony asked concerned but his mother waved the question off with a soft smile.

"My sickness can wait a day my baby boy." She said softly ending that conversation before it became anything else.

But Tony still looked unconvinced but let the matter drop for now, "If you're sure." he said hesitantly as he ran his fingers through my fur, a nervous habit of his that I didn't mind.

I instantly turned my head to nuzzle his hand softly letting him know it's okay. I instantly could tell some of the tenseness he had melted away, no completely but enough.

From there they talked about what they were going to do with Dum-E, if he was going to dismantle the machine, "Absolutely not." Tony said firmly with a dangerous glint in his eye at the thought of dismantling anything he has created.

Jarvis and his mother quickly steered the conversation from there as Aunt Peggy called to congratulate Tony on his robot--how she found was probably through her government organization--and talked about me slightly from there before saying she had to go sadly.

"I should probably get back, Rhodey will be wondering where I disappeared to, and I need to get Dum-E back into the dorm room and make sure he won't destroy anything." Tony said with a fond pat to the machine who had once again thrown a tennis ball at the window which ricocheted and would've hit him if I hadn't caught the ball and removed it from his possession, "Maybe fix on some coding too." Tony said as he glanced at me destroying the tennis ball.

"Alright sweetie. Oh, I just remembered. Your father and I are driving down Rhode Island soon for an export of his. I was wondering if you wanted to come." Maria Stark asked as we arrived at MIT.

"Pass." Tony said instantly with a hint of bitterness.

Maria sighed but looked like she expected that answer, "You know he loves you right sweetie." she asked her only son with a hint of worry but looked resigned like she knew the answer.

"You mean the man that has never told me he's loved me. Not directly or when we're alone. Yeah." Tony said and before his mother or Jarvis say anything else, disappeared into the halls of MIT, Dum-E at his feet following his creator.

But I stayed by the car for a few seconds, "Watch over him Percy. I fear for the future of my baby boy." Maria said softly as she reached over the unrolled window where I was waiting on the sidewalk.

Making it easier for her, I jumped and leaned against the small car window and felt her hand run through my fur similar to Tony's movements.

Trying to tell her I'd do my best, I licked her hand and then slowly licked her cheek with a small nuzzle. I earned a small chuckle from the sick lady, "Thank you Percy." she replied as she gave me a soft kiss on the top of my head and then rested her forehead on mine, "You're such a good boy. I will forever be happy with Howard's decision in keeping you." she said with a wobbly smile.

I just nuzzled her cheek again before reluctantly detaching myself because Maria wasn't the only one having a bad feeling about this export.

I quickly went around to the side where Jarvis gave me a chuckle and ran his hand through my fur as well, "Be good boy. Make sure he eats and stays out of trouble." Jarvis said with a soft smile, "I'll be by as soon as I drop Mr and Mrs.Stark off at the airport for their flight to New York where they will then grab their car.

satisfied with the plan, I detached myself from Jarvis as well and quickly made my way back toward the dorm room where Tony was working on re-coding some of Dum-E's code, "Tweezers." Tony asked with an outstretched hand.

Instantly complying, I laid beside him resolved into watching him for the next few days.
