So, about your little boy...
Tony watches as Reed looks Eddie over, while Hank goes over the information via satellite transmission. In his mind, he's trying to trace the steps in their procedures, but genetics isn't one of his fields. He has to trust that his friend can figure out if Eddie's current ability to walk is tied to an X-Gene or if it really is just a random beneficial quirk in the boy's genes. Eddie comes from good stock, so Tony wouldn't mind a reason to shout that from the rooftops.

"Hey, Buddy! Mommy and Daddy are right here. You havin' a good time? We'll go do something fun after this. I promise." Tony says, trying to keep Eddie's mind off everybody's staring at him.

	Natasha looked cool, calm and collected, but insider her stomach was in a knot. She held on to a little hand and always had a smile when her son looked at her. "We'll go for some ice cream," Natasha said. "Would you like that?" Nick babbled happily. He didn't seem phased with all of the attention. He loved it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Chocolate ice cream and lots of it." Tony promised, looking to Reed, then Hank for any sign or guess of what to expect. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's the verdict docs?" Natasha asked as Nick took one of her fingers and gnawed on a knuckle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Reed removes his glasses, looking over the information while Hank does the same. "Tony, Tasha...I think you two should sit down. Our tests have been run three times while you all waited and I think you need to brace yourselves." Reed says, looking to Hank, since this was more his field. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We ran all the genetic tests we could think of and used your DNA as the base for comparison," Hank said. "Nick isn't a mutant, but there were some abnormalities in his DNA makeup." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, that's not much of a stretch, considering that both Tasha and I have had our genetic make-up tinkered with a bit over the years. But the way you just said 'abnormailies' makes me think this isn't good. What did you find?" Tony asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony does his best to put on a brave front for Tasha and Eddie, but he's worried for his son and his wife. He knows that the calmer she gets, the more worried she actually is. "Well, he's healthy and smart and handsome. We've got ourselves a winner, don't we?" he says, smiling at Eddie. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Of course we do," Natasha said as she forced a small smile. "All of them are." Natasha put a little bit of vanilla ice cream on the plastic spoon and put it to Nick's mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You okay, Tasha? I know all of that couldn't be easy to hear." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine, but confused about how this could have happened," she admitted. Nick happily accepted the ice cream and smiled at the cold. "The only thing I can think of is that time Kraven grabbed me. I don't know what happened between that and waking up in S.H.I.E.L.D. medical." She looked over at him. "Did Fury tell you anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony looked a little uneasy at the question. "You never discussed it with him at all before now?" Tony asks, eating a bit of ice cream and trying to figure out what he was going to say next. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the ice cream parlor redheadspy 2011-04-20 03:18 am UTC (link)
	"I tried. He was quite tight lipped about it," Natasha said as she put more ice cream on the spoon for Nick. She noticed the look on her husband's face. He knew something. "Did he tell you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony sees her at the computer and knows what's going on. It's probably a bad idea to put gasoline on a fire, but he has to say something. He brings her a cup of tea. "Tasha, I've got people looking for him, as does Fury. When he surfaces, we'll deal with him. Could you /not/ be involved in this?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Home redheadspy 2011-04-20 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"I /know/ him," she said. "I know how he thinks and I can find him. Even if he doesn't surface." She paused for a moment. "How can I not stay out of it? I can't let that bastard be out there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eddie needs his mother." Tony says, hitting below the belt immediately. "Misha and I are working on this. You're retired. Hell, we'll even tell Logan so he can finish the job, so long as you don't get involved." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Home redheadspy 2011-04-20 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"His mother needs to know that the bastard is taken care of," she said. Her voice was tight and controlled. She wasn't going to let this turn into an argument or a shouting match. "And where have you gotten in the past /year/?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well...we're close. Shostakov isn't on the move under his own power. He's in a coma of some kind." Tony says. "After what happened down in New Orleans, he got hurt. There's one person out there who might know where he is, but you won't like it." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The call had come as a surprise and Irina was curious to what Mrs. Stark had wanted. She opened a portal to the Stark's penthouse and stepped through it. "Hello," she said when she stepped out and into the penthouse. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tony stares Irina down from behind his helmet. "Where is Alexei Shostakov?" his says, skipping pleasantries. It's taking all he's got right now to blast Irina through a wall. He'd liked the girl okay until she'd decided to help his enemy. Perhaps there's a /reason/ he was never into espionage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Irina, we need to know where your father is," Natasha said. "We have discovered that he has genetically altered our son's DNA and would like to bring him in to hold him accountable for his actions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's in a coma in a long term care facility," she said. "He's not going to hurt anyone and I'm not going to let anyone kill him in cold blood. I didn't let your son do it and I'm not going to let you do it. The man is a monster, but he's still my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Believe me, my blood is /not/ cold right now, Irina. And if you get in our way, I'm going to read that as you being in league with him. You don't want me reading it that way." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
