Friends in Armor?
Harvey had gotten very well acquainted with Pepper and Happy. And, over time, they suggested he got to know the kids of their Tony and Rhodey. So that's what Harvey did. Using Pepper as his connection, arrangements were made to meet Anya Stark.

He was sitting down outside at a coffee shop, early for his meeting with her.

	Anya took the offered hand and shook it. "Anya Stark. Nice to meet you," she said with a smile. The Stark name of course turned some heads. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nice to meet you, too," he replied. He smiled, too, and ignored the people who were looking at Anya. "Oh, the table is over here." He lead the way to it, and pulled out a chair for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said and took the offered seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your welcome." Harvey took his own seat across from Anya. "Thanks for meeting with me, Anya. I hope I'm not taking you away from anything important." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not a problem," she said. "And you didn't take me away from anything important. I was in the lab and needed some fresh air." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	engnr 2010-10-17 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, good." He fiddled his thumbs for a moment. It was a bit of an awkward start--to him, at least. "Sorry, I'm not sure what to say. I know I wanted to meet you, but I don't always think ahead. Mom always said that was a bad habit of mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay," Anya said with a reassuring smile. "Why don't you tell me of your world and what things are like?" It was a place to start. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, my world used to be like this one, but with a lot less super villain activity. There were a lot less kids of super heroes there, too. This world has another generation of Avengers, but mine didn't. Even the X-Men were slimming down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Weird," Anya said. "I couldn't imagine a world where there's not a bunch of us running around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can't say I'm used to Uncle Ton--err, Mr. Stark, having a kid, yet. But from what I hear, you're your father's daughter. And I'm glad to hear that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You may as well get used to calling him Uncle Tony. All of the Avengers kids do." Anya smiled. "My mother still accuses him of having a cloning project going on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harvey chuckled at that. "Alright then. He can be Uncle Tony here, too. Back in my world, he was my Godfather." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-17 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Anya nodded. "He's Toni Rhodes' godfather in this world," Anya said. "No offense, but it's a shock to learn that Pepper and Happy had kids. Pepper here is my godmother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	engnr 2010-10-17 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded, too. "None taken. It was a shock when mom gave birth, actually. Everybody thought she lost me when Ayisha attacked her, but I pulled through." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-17 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I understand," Anya said. "Pepper here did miscarry and lost the baby. Unfortunately she was unable to have more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	engnr 2010-10-17 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	"I see." It wasn't a happy notion, to say the least. Having alternate universe kids showing up probably wasn't the greatest thing for her, given the memory it would bring about. "It looks like she's been doing pretty good since, though. I hope I'm right about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-18 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Pepper's great," Anya said. "Except when my dad's being, well /him/, and driving her crazy. Which hasn't been much lately since he's a little distracted with the baby coming soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	engnr 2010-10-18 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, wow. Another kid on the way? That sounds pretty exciting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-18 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Mom's due in November. Dad's not quite in the panic stage yet, but close." "So are you in the life, or following the corporate route or something else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm a mechanic in the city," Harvey replied. "I arrived in this world months ago and got settled before trying to contact this world's Pepper Potts. I've been building my armor up again, but slowly. I don't like to be directly in the fight, really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-18 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"What is it with cars lately?" Anya asked with a grin. "What about in your world? Were you a part of the life?" Anya perked up. "Armor? I would love to get a look at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	engnr 2010-10-18 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, hey. Cars are very precious things." He chuckled. "I was in the life a little, but monitored the fights. Surveillance and recon was my thing." He thought back to his first time helping Uncle Tony. The guy could have done it on his own, but he trusted Harvey to help it. It was a great feeling. "It's not finished, but I could show you what I have sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-18 04:04 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, but come on. My brother, my boyfriend and I recently had a sister show up who's into cars. It's getting ridiculous." "I'd like that. I love work on armor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	engnr 2010-10-18 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I like armor just as much as cars. I can drop the car talk and stick with the armor talk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-10-18 04:49 am UTC (link)
	"I like cars well enough, I just don't understand the obsession with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
