Tony/Pepper: Little Einstein
It was one thing for a six-year-old to play with blocks and build "towers" and "castles". It was a another thing to let your six-year-old daughter sit in your lab while you taught her how to repair your Iron Man suit. Tony was constantly having to pull tools out of Ambrosia's hands and put them back in his toolbox.
"Daddy! No!"
"Ambrosia, I told you not to play with the wrench."
"But I wanna help!"
Tony sighed, "Alright. Come here. I suppose you can learn hands-on."
"Yay!"
Ambrosia was allowed to tighten a few bolts. Tony had taken the wrench back when she was finished and then moved on to work on some wiring that had been damaged on his last mission. Ambrosia was sitting on top of the blueprints, looking at the drawings her father had made. She looked up just in time.
"No Daddy!"
Tony jumped and the wires fell out of his hands, "Ambrosia, what was that for?"
"Those were the wrong wires! You gotta connect these ones!"
Ambrosia grabbed one of the wires Tony had let go of and then a different wire. She touched the wires together before Tony could stop her. There was a spark from the wires, and then one of the boots on the suit fired up. The suit flew to the left, and Tony pulled Ambrosia out of the way so that it didn't hurt her. Ambrosia lost her grip on the wires, and the boot shut off again. Tony sat a moment, just holding his daughter - who was grinning like a maniac.
The door to the lab opened and Pepper ran in. She took in the scene; Tony holding their daughter tight to his chest and his suit across the room.
"Tony, what happened?"
Tony turned around, a grinning Ambrosia in his arms, and smiled at his wife, "She just wired the suit!"
"Tony!" Pepper couldn't count the times she'd said this anymore. "Keep her away from the suits! She could get hurt!"
"Mommy! I made the suit fly!" Ambrosia interrupted. "Daddy didn't follow the directions, but I fixed it!"
Pepper got quiet, and Tony froze.
"You, you read the blueprint?" Tony asked, turning Ambrosia to face him.
Ambrosia shrugged, "The pictures told me what to do."
Tony laughed out loud.
"She can't even do algebra, and yet she's already helping me build my suits!" He grinned at Pepper. "We have another Stark genius on our hands!"
Pepper sighed and rubbed her temples, "Fantastic."
