Innocence

Own Nothing.

"Thank you for seeing us on short notice." Darcy smiled as the Professor directed them to the couch; her and Tony were each holding a child.

"It's a pleasure, it isn't everyday that parents want to be aware and involve with their children's mutant development." Charles smiled. "Congratulations, they are such beautiful children."

"They get it from their mother." Tony stated, looking lovely at Darcy. He turned back to the professor. "We were wondering if you could check their mutant powers. We know because of her skin that Peggy has some, but Phil hasn't shown anything yet."

The Professor looked at them both before nodding. "I understand your concern you are a very important person and you want to protect your children."

"It isn't that." Tony stated. "Well it kind of is. But I don't want them to be ashamed of what they are, they're perfect as who they are and what they are doesn't change that."

"I wish more parents would see their children the way you do Mr. Stark. It is a refreshing outlook." The Professor smiled at the two of them before turning his attention to the babies, he stared at them each for a short while before looking back at Tony and Darcy. "Well first off, they both know that you are not their biological father Mr. Stark."

"But he's their Dad." Darcy stated. "He loves them."

The professor smiled and nodded. "They know that as well and frankly that's all they care about. They both seem to have a higher level of intelligence, probably from being part…Frost Giant?"

Tony sighed and adjusted Peggy on his lap. "Loki, Demi God of Asgard and part Frost Giant is their real Dad."

"The man who attacked New York?" Charles asked.

Darcy sighed. "I was raped and Tony has been the greatest guy ever, staying with me through all of it. Peggy and Phil are our children. Not Loki's."

"I understand and your children do too it seems. They have a deep understanding for what is happening around them. Your daughter is very attached to you Mr. Stark as is Phil to you Mrs. Stark."

"We're not married." Darcy stated.

"I keep asking and she keeps saying no." Tony shrugged. "We compromised with the twins having my name."

Charles nodded. "Well Peggy seems to have a grasp of her physical appearance, they'll both be extremely intelligent children, but I feel that Phil's power will come later, he seems to want to keep it to himself. Peggy's should manifest in a couple of years."

"So basically, they're mutants?" Tony asked.

"They could be classified as such. When they get older you can bring them back so they could learn their powers. We also run as a school for all ages for those who don't feel confortable or are not capable of living amongst non-mutants. But you should be fine."

"Thank you Professor Charles." Darcy smiled brightly at him. "As long as they're happy and healthy that's all I can ask for."

"I'm here when ever you need me." Charles smiled and Tony and Darcy talked to him for a while longer before leaving.

They were at home in the tower, the twins fed and down for a nap, sleeping against Tony as Darcy cleaned up the kitchen, small things she liked to do herself. She walked back into the living room, dishtowel in her hand, wiping them dry from the dishes when she saw Tony asleep with the twins. She smiled and shook her head. "JARVIS?"

"Yes Miss Lewis?" The British A.I's volume was low to not wake the sleeping.

"Can you take a picture of this? We need to start a scrapbook."

"Picture taken and if being printed out in your study Miss Lewis. Anything else I can help you with?"

"Thank you, I'm good." She smiled and sat down on the couch next to Tony, her head propped up with her arm as she watched her family sleep. She watched as Peggy curled into her Dad and Phil fisted Tony's shirt like he did to Darcy's so many times before. She smiled and ran her fingers lightly over Tony's cheek. He woke up quietly, opening one eye to look over at her. "Hey." She whispered.

"Hey back." He smiled. "Whatcha doing?"

"I was thinking about how adorable my family looks." She whispered as Phil hiccupped in his sleep.

"It's a picture perfect moment." He agreed.

"I had JARVIS take one, I'm going to make a scrapbook. Old fashion and all with paper."

"Aren't you Susie Homemaker?" He smirked.

"Hey Tony?" She asked after a few minutes of silence between them.

"Yes Dear?" He looked at her, turning his head to look her in the eyes.

"Do you want to go on a date with me?" She asked.

"Like out, out?" He asked before breaking out into a grin. "I would love to."

"I was thinking we could bring Phil and Peggy…" She stopped as his eyes widened. "You don't think we should?"

"I don't want people thinking that are children are different in a bad way." He whispered. "Because we can tell them how much we love them all we want, but not everyone will love them like we do."

"I think that they only care that we love them. When they get older, we'll worry some more. But for now, if we keep them locked up, they'll start thinking that we're ashamed of them."

"You must feel better after talking to the Professor?" He asked.

"I do."

"One day, I'll get you to say that to become my wife." He whispered as Peggy stretched in her sleep.

Darcy smirked. "We'll see. I'm going to take a shower because my hair takes forever to air dry." She kissed him on the cheek. "Think of a place where we could all go as a family." She moved off the couch and walked to their master bathroom.

Tony smiled and looked down to see Phil's eyes opened and just staring at him. "I think I'm wearing her down. One day I'll make an honest woman out of her." He whispered to Phil who just giggled and smiled up at him. "Daddy promises you that."
