Chapter 8: You? Me.

Dudley Dursley wasn't stupid. Not at all. He played dumb though, just to make sure no one suspected a thing. While he was no Natasha Romanoff he certainly wasn't horrible at acting.

He was the cousin to Harry Potter. And he couldn't ask for a better cousin, in all honesty. He loved his cousin since the day he met him, A.K.A. the day after he showed up on the Dursleys' doorstep. Harry was nice to him, unlike his no-good father. Vernon hated Harry with a passion; and he tried and failed to get Dudley to hate him too. Ever since he started to play with Harry, Vernon decided that he was "freakish" as well.

Vernon wasn't too far off. Dudley wasn't normal at all; he had rather enhanced senses, and super-strength. Which was odd to him in the sense that he didn't have that in his last life. At all.

How he had gotten his powers was a mystery. A mystery he decided to say "fuck it" to very early on in his life. Yup, he didn't care. That was something he learned to do when he worked for Tony.

And just to set the record straight: NO, he wasn't fat, he was just heavily muscled from his years in wrestling; something he was extremely good at. He had a good day too.

That is, until a blonde boy crashed into him when he was walking home from school.

O-o-o-o-o-O

Jarvis was having a horrible time. He was having difficulties stabilizing his flight. Who wouldn't after doing so for... ummmmmmm... 14 hours, 13 minutes, and 38 seconds. He was still looking for Tony after searching the entirety of London.

Speaking of which, he was pretty sure he was losing altitude. And quickly. Like, so fast that he just dropped about 50 feet in three seconds.

Good thing he landed on a relatively soft cushion.

O-o-o-o-o-O

"Owwwww... can someone get me the number of the truck that hit me?" Dudley woke up slowly, noticing the kid with golden hair was still lying on him, out cold. He was actually kind of cute, with his glasses skewed on his slightly chubby face, not to mention his gravity-defying hair (which reminded him of Tony's) which happened to be windswept.

Dudley looked around, finding that no one had seen anything; good. He picked up the short kid bridal style, running as fast as he could to his house.

Thankfully, Vernon worked late today and Petunia was out with some of her "friends" at a dinner party. He went to his room and set the kid on his bed.

He debated on calling the police to tell them about the strange, short, boy. After a bit he decided that telling the police that a kid fell out of the sky and landed on him would most likely raise questions about his sanity.

He checked the kid's vitals, hoping that he wasn't dead; or had any unpleasant symptoms from falling out of the sky.

HOLY SHIT! His temperature was only 50 degrees! Other than that he was completely fine, give or take a few bruises. Though there was a weird file underneath his vest. And while Dudley wasn't particularly known for snooping through other people's things, he decided that he had a good reason, considering the kid fell out of the sky.

As he read through the file his eyes widened (Heh, you're not the only one) this kid wasn't human. That wouldn't be surprising usually (when you know Thor personally it's not) but this was an entirely different world. The kid might have been a test subject too!

"Owwwww..." Dudley looked up to find the kid had finally woken up, and was starting to sit up. The kid looked directly at him behind his glasses.

"Hi." Dudley said to him in shock.

"Hi." the kid said back awkwardly.

They both blushed in embarrassment, the intensity the awkward in the room increased to high levels. What do you say to the person you fell on/ landed on you?

"Um... nice to meet you... my name is Dudley Dursley..."

"My name is... Jarvis..." Jarvis told Dudley, and added as an afterthought, "Stark." he was sure Tony wouldn't mind him using his last name.

It seemed like those were the magic words as moments later scooped him up in a crushing hug. "Jarvis! It's you! Oh my god!"

"Can't... breath..." Jarvis gasped, then Dudley released him from his arms.

"How do you know me?" Jarvis asked defensively.

"It's kind of hard not to when I worked with you for years..." Dudley rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as Jarvis raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"It's me, Happy. Happy Hogan." this time Jarvis initiated the hug.

"HAPPY! It's you!" Jarvis yelled excitedly. Dudley was trapped by the short A.I. turned human in an embrace that seemed to last forever. That is until Jarvis pulled away abruptly and realized what he just did. A bright crimson blush spread across his cheeks; no doubt from how unprofessionally he acted.

"When did you get so..." Happy waved an arm at him in a confused state. Jarvis shrugged helplessly and tugged on his tie a bit in discomfort.

"I don't know... how, nor why I'm a... person... or at least I think I'm a person..." he scuffed his blue converse against the floor whilst looking down. Dudley's eyes softened when he looked at the short boy.

"You've always been a person, Jarvis. You just haven't had a physical body until now... and now that I think about it... I haven't met a single person who could ever be as awesome as you are. Not even Tony."

"You actually think that... that I'm a person and not just somebody's creation..." Jarvis looked up at him with pain-filled eyes. Dudley sighed slightly.

"Jarvis, when Tony made you he was desperate for a friend... a real friend, with a real personality. He didn't want somebody that would just be his friend for money or for fame... and I don't know how... but he did it... and you're a very special person... not just to him, but to all of us... everyone that knows you Jarvis... and not just knows about you, but actually knows and respects you as a person... they love you Jar- and you know what? I'll be here for you too. I'm gonna help you find our friends... but it's going to take both of us... and want you to be there when we do find them." Dudley held out his hand to him.

Jarvis took it; his happiness on high levels and a look of determination in his eyes.

He grinned, and had only three words to say.

"Let's do this!"

O-o-o-o-o-O

HELL YEAH!

This chapter was giving many feels to sort out; I actually felt almost like crying near the end.

Alas, the characters do what they want to do, I only channel their intent. AND HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING AMAZING- asdfghjklwedrftyuiop;xzcvbnm,.-

Seriously though! I got an absolute TON of follows and reviews!

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

Did Dudley have to be included? Hell yes! I don't know about you... but I needed somewhere for Jarvis to stay for awhile... and where better than with an awesome, superpowered, Happy?

ALSO- Kudos to the people that figured out who it was! Jarvis is one my favorite characters, and I barely ever see him in Fanfics.

Stay Hyper!- Birch
