AN: This is a final chapter for "everybody is a star". This chapter ties in with my on-going series "The Stark Family". You don't have to read it but if you it's helpful if you do. Plus it's pretty epic.

"It's your sisters birthday." "She's still there." Tony groaned. He was on the phone with Katie. Even six months away from her adoptive mother wasn't enough to stifle her temper. "Yeah, She is. Shes going to be my wife wither you like it or not." "Dad, she cheated on you and you now have an unborn child whom you don't know who the father is. It just feels a bit trashy." He ran a frustrated hand down his face. I'm not gonna yell. I'm not gonna yell... "Then don't come for your mother. Come for your sister. She misses you like crazy and every other day she's asking when your coming back. And now it's starting to become less and less and I hate to think shes giving up hope on you." There was a pause before a groan. "Damnit dad...do you have to use Quinn?" "Is it working?" "Yes." "Then yes." Tony couldn't help but smirk as he poured himself a mug of coffee. Right now Kim, Clint, Gage and Quinn were out dress shopping for said wedding. "Why don't you stop by now? Surprise them when you get home." She sighed. "Sounds good. I'll be there soon. I love you dad." Tony smiled. "I love you to sweetie." He nearly felt his eyes water in happiness that he was going to see her. She hung up first, most likely to tell Steve about this.

He looked at the kitchen which he put together, mostly for Quinns birthday. The kitchen had red and gold ribbon lining the chairs and table...and that was as far as he got. He thanked God for the bakery down the street for the cake which they kept a secret from Quinn until it was time for candles. He worried that something could happen to them while they were out. His mind a bit fogged, hating it in the large tower alone. He heard the doorbell, making his nerve go at end. Katie was here already? He quickly made his way to the door, opening it quickly...his shoulders slumping in disappointment. "Um hello?" It was a man, taller then him, messy hair parted to one side, a bow tie and one hell of a chin and a hell of a cockney accent. He smiled. "Hello.." He suddenly held up a paper, reading "Social services." Tony felt himself pale and heart drop out of him, least it felt that way. "Hello! I'm hear to speak to you about your family. May I come in?" Tony sighed, letting him in. The man walked inside, looking around in awe. "Wow, what a beautiful home you have. You built it?" Tony cleared his throat, going to him, putting on his most charming smile, swallowing down his fear of losing his children. " Yeah. Me and Pepper both did. She helped a hell of a lot, getting everyone organized. I did the blueprints and other technological designs." The man smiled, looking impressed. "Amazing... ahh there they are!" The man smiled, going over to the picture frames on the large living room wall. It was a picture of Quinn. Many pictures of her, along with some of Katie before she left. "Your daughters I assume.." "Well I didn't kidnap them if thats what your asking."

The man took a frame, looking at Quinns smiling face as she held up a repulser. "Shes just like you. Exactly like you. A mini Tony." Tony smiled proudly. "Yeah. She is. Thats Quinn. My biological daughter." "I can tell." Tony chuckled. "Yeah...The red head hear. Thats Katie. I adopted her." The man put the frame down, looking at Katies with a smile. "Tony Stark. Family man. Never thought that day would come." Tony smiled. "Yeah, me neither. So exactly why are you here?" The man raised an eyebrow, looking to him before walking. "Oh just a look around. After hearing such awful things happen to you and them, we wanted to make sure it's a safe environment for your children to grow in." Tony sighed. "As long as I'm there father there is no safe. Only Safer. And I can assure you this is the safest place they could be. I have JARVIS watch over this place better then a hawk." The man perked up. "JARVIS?" Tony nodded. "Yeah. JAY, introduce yourself." "Hello Sir, I am artificial intelligence. I run the tower to the best of my capabilities ensuring the utmost safety of the Stark family."

The man smiled. "JARVIS! Ello old man!" He said as if he had seen someone he hasn't seen in years. Tony raised an eyebrow. "uh..yeah...JARVIS. So will that be all?" The man cleared his throat. "um no..not all. I'd like to see there rooms." He turned to the mirror on the wall, fixing his bow tie. Tony sighed. "Alright, follow me." He lead the way upstairs. The strange, tall man following. Tony got to Quinns room when JARVIS spoke up. "Sir, Katie Captain Rodgers are at the door." Tony sighed. "Sorry, I'll be right back." " Oh take your time! No rush!" Tony nodded before going back down the stairs. The man looked around, getting gout his sonic screwdriver. Glowing green as it buzzed, scanning the room. "Normal girls bedroom?...no...nope." He smiled as his sonic lead him to under the bed, moving various cloths and stuffed animals for small handle built into the floor. He scanned it before reading it off his screwdriver. "A secret box buried in the floor with a finger print scanner and numerical lock." He used his sonic on the box, hearing it unlatch, he opened it, looking inside. Inside was mostly her finished projects that could fall into wrong hands. A working repusler, few of them, a repuler gun, tazer made from a battery. What he found most interesting was the few pictures about it. Pictures of the young stark with her bodyguard. He smiled softly, looking at one. "It's not just a secret box...it's a memory box."

Downstairs Tony rushed to the door. Opening the door with shaking hands. There was his daughter he missed so much and Captain Rodgers as well. She smiled weakly, he knew she was just as nervous. "Hi dad.." He smiled, feeling his eyes water, going to her quickly, hugging her. "Oh I missed you." She smiled. "I missed you to dad." He let go, reaching his hand out to Steve. "Steve, nice to see you again." Steve nodded, shaking his hand with a smile. "Nice to see you to." Katie walked in, looking around to see if anything had changed. "I forgot how much I loved it here." Tony smiled. "You know your room is still the same way you left it." She smiled sadly to him. "Lets just see how tonight goes with mom. I'm sure this will be a shock." Tony nodded, putting his arm around her. "I'm sure it will. Since your here did you want to help decorate. I'm horrible at it." Steve chuckled. "I can help. Just show me what to do." Katie smiled, following her dad and Steve into the kitchen. Tony nearly forgot about the man upstairs. He excused himself before going upstairs nearly bumping into the strange man. The strange man smiled.

"Oh hello again. While I was looking I saw another baby room. I'm assuming your expecting? Eh?" Tony raised an eyebrow. This man seemed pretty genuinely happy for him. The same kind of gleam in his eye that a good friend would have when you told them about expecting a baby. "Uh yeah..listen You have to go. I'd be happy to talk another time but it's kinda my daughters 2nd birthday and it's kinda a family deal.." "Ah! Say no more! I'll be out of your hair!" He went down the stairs quickly. Tony followed. "Wait, did you want to come back tomorrow sometime,Cause I'd rather my kids not be taken away." The strange man turned as he reached the door to Tony. His heart breaking for the look he put on his face. That fear of losing something so precious. He knew it well. He smiled. "Of corse. I'll be back tomorrow. Promise." He left out the door, leaving Tony looking rather confused and a bit worried. He loved his kids more then anything. He didn't want them taken away.

It was an hour later when Km and the rest came home. Steve was just getting done putting up red and gold streamers and Katie putting plates out for the pizza party dinner. Quinns favorite. "Sir, Kim and the rest have arrived home." Tony smiled nervously to Katie. "You ready to face the music?" Katie smirked weakly and boy did he miss that little smirk she always had. She sighed, waiting. Tony understood, leaning and kissing her head before heading down to the garage to help.

Kim got out with Jason/Clints help with a smile. A small bag hanging from her elbow. Quinn was next out with Gage's help, carrying a small dress bag. Tony came down, seeing it. "There they are. How long does it take to pick out a few dresses?" He teased, walking over to Kim. Jason/Clint let go, a bit resultant as she started walking to Tony, hand on her baby belly. "Not long enough. I didn't find anything I liked but little princess did." She smiled, looking over to Quin who was holding Gage's free hand. Quinn smiled. "Can I wear it tonight?" Tony chuckled. "After food ok? We don't want to get it dirty." She smiled, almost bouncing with excitement. "Can we go have cake now?" Gage chuckled. "Not yet. Soon princess. Soon." Tony had his arm around Kim, speaking to Jason/Clint. "Thanks for going with them and making sure there safe." He nodded but watching Tony with Kim broke his heart. Just moments ago he had his arm around her, helping her.

Tony sighed. "So...angel...I kinda have a surprise upstairs for you..well us." She raised an eyebrow. "It's not a pony is it?" Tony raised an eyebrow. "What? No. it's not a pony. Look, just...just don't be mad." Kim frowned softly, letting him lead her. He got her to the kitchen where she gasped. "Katie..? Why?...when?.." She felt her eyes water. She had missed her adoptive daughter so much. Katie sighed, walking closer. "Hi mom.." Kim didn't waste any time, the little bag forgotten as it fell to the floor, walking quickly to hug her daughter. Sniffling. "Oh I missed you so much." Katie fought the tears, hugging her mother. "I...I missed you to." Kim hid her face in the red curls she had missed so much. "Oh god..I'm so sorry I drove you away. I never wanted to drive my family away." She sniffled, pulling away to look at Katie. "I love you." Katie felt her breath hitch, a few tears falling. "I...I..I love you to mom.." She hated how her voice cracked. Feeling the childish need to hug her adoptive mother and never leave again. Kim kissed her head, never wanting her to leave ever again. "Is this for good? Are you back home?" Katie swallowed the lump in her throat. "Id like to be..." Kim smiled sadly, holding her face, wiping her tears away. "Of corse you can." There was a pause until Quinn spoke up, sounding small. "Can I hug sister now?" Her voice thick and eyes watery. Katie smiled sadly, kneeling down. "Com'ere princess." Quinn took off, running to Katie, hugging her older sister, crying into her shoulder. "I missed you." Katie kissed Quinns head. "I missed you to sis."

It was about a half hour later every one was calm enough to get the pizza out. Tony had budged on the whole "wear your dress after food" when Quinn brought out the puppy eyes. He can always pay for dry cleaner or a new dress. It was a gorgeous dress. Bright red with bits of gold glitter lining it and shining when she moved. Princess skirt and straps on her shoulders. Everyone was settled, eating a few slices of pizza from the 6 boxes Tony ordered. He wanted more then enough and variety of toppings. Quinn was on her third slice when there was a loud thump outside on the patio along with a pained noise following. Before Tony could ask "what was that" Gage and Jason were already up with guns in hand, making there way to the patio quickly. He watched, waiting.

Suddenly there was a slight struggle and a familiar voice from earlier, coming closer. "Oy! Ow! Thats rather tight! Hey! Don't ruin this jacket! It's my favorite jacket,, wait my bow tie fell! Oy!" Tony raised an eyebrow as the strange man from social services was currently being held by Jason and Gage, Gun to his back. Tony raised an eyebrow. "Was there a reason you fell onto my patio? I thought I told you to leave." Gage looked between them, gun not leaving the mans back. "You know him sir." "Sorta. He's from social services." "What?!" Km suddenly yelled out. The man tried to reason. "It's not what it looks like, honest, please just let me go and I can tell you." He looked at Tony, pleading. "Please, Tony, make them let me go and I can show you." Tony sighed. "Let him go." "But.." Gage started. "Let him go Gage. Jason."

They both did. So they let go the man went for Tony, quickly holding his head. Tony was terrified, the others tried to take him off. "I'm sorry, this might hurt." He head butted Tony hard, making him tumble back, holding his head, using the wall for support. "ow! What the hell?!" Kim yelped in surprise. Quinn was tucked in Katies arms, Steve standing, ready to fight. Kim behind Steve as she sat watching helplessly. He groaned but suddenly memories started filling his head. This man. He was the Doctor. He flew around in a blue box that was bigger on the inside and could travel literally anywhere he wanted in time and space. It was called the TARDIS. Time and relative dimension in space. He met him, saved him from bullies, took him to meet Einstein, a world where the snow was rainbow, met a unicorn, saw the ear form before his eyes and met Captian America himself, getting his cards signed then nothing.. he looked up with wide eyes. "Doctor.. " Gage and Jason had him knelled down, guns to his head. The doctor didn't look pleased. he looked pretty darn scared. Tony jumped, going to them. "Let him go..he's safe." Gage's eyes bugged out. "He just headbutted you sir! He's not safe." The Doctor spoke. "Uh he does have a point.." "Let him go now." Gage and Jason both let go of him. The Doctor springing up, going up to fix his tie but had fallen in the earlier struggle. "Oh I'll get that later. Tony!" Tony smiled weakly. "Hello doctor. Using that psychic paper. Shame on you." The doctor smiled. "Had to get in here somehow."

Steve spoke up, seeing everyone was too confused and terrified to speak. "Uh Tony...Care to let us in on who this is?" The Doctor smiled. "I'm the Doctor. I'm an old friend of Tony's. " Tony scoffed. "I'll say." Kim nodded, taking it all in. She swallowed nervously. "Care to..elaborate?" The Doctor smiled, telling them of there journeys, of the snow and people he met along the way. It was a wonderful night, filled with pizza, cake and stories. Quinn was in the living room with her sister, Gage and Steve and kim. All watching a Disney movie. Jason had headed down to the gym. Tony took this moment to ask the Doctor something. "Can I ask you something Doctor?" "Of corse Tony. Anything." Tony sighed. "Why didn't I remember any of that until now? I'm assuming you erased my memory for some reason, why?" The Doctor looked away. "During our travels I had looked you up. I looked up your biography and found out some things I'd rather never known about. Knowing can be very dangerous. Once I found out such horrible things I did my best to protect you. I did too good a job. I had protected you. Shown you humanity at it's worst and in doing so you never became Iron Man. Nearly the entire state of New York was gone due to the nuke you took into space." He saw Tony look away when he mentioned the nuke. "Sorry." "No. it's fine. Go on. " Tony looked up, his breathing controlled. "I had to erase your memory of our time so you could become Iron Man. I had to let them hurt you, kidnap you...I never hated myself more." Tony reached out a supportive hand on the doctors shoulder. "don't. If you handt. New york wouldn't be here, My family wouldn't be here. Thank you for making sure I became what I was suppose to." "A super hero?" The Doctor smiled. Tony smiled softer. "wouldn't have it another way."
