Always Buy Stilettos

Chapter 12 "Always Buy Stilettos"

Pepper and Sharon

Thanksgiving had been wonderful and well needed holiday for all. Clint got to see his family that he hadn't seen in a while and Queen Frigga came down to enjoy the Midgard Holiday with her boys. Sharon came to dinner happy to be away from Fury unfortunately for Tony, she was followed by Coulson who needed a debriefing for the director. Harry was just happy to have his family home and together.

"Are you ready Harry?"

"Yes Aunt Pepper." Harry's digital voice rang out.

"Pep, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean he'll be bored out of his mind! I'm bored just thinking about it!" Tony whined.

"Tony, stop whining like a child. Harry and I have been going into the office since you decided to bounce around the realms. His observations and insights on projects are amazing and are probably better than yours."

"My Mini Merlin has surpassed my genius?!" Tony gasped grabbing at his arc reactor as if having a heart attack; falling back upon the couch Thorwing his unused arm over his eyes. "The horror, I've become obsolete!"

"Tony don't be so dramatic you big ham. As your current will states, Haraldr James Lokison Potter is your heir to Stark Industries and there is nothing wrong with him taking an interest of his future inheritance." Pepper rolled her eyes and Harry was wheezing his laugh at his silly uncle.

"Speaking of inheritances we have a meeting with Jareth later this morning. He Owled months ago but we were in the Dark realm. We must address our accounts with the Goblins. Haraldr and Lady Pepper have finished their own accounting of the fortune and we must go over the findings with Jareth." Loki said as he entered the common area with travel Thermos for Harry, then giving his son a hug. "Here, Haraldr, your grandmother left a large supply of her special cider, just for you. I enchanted the canister to keep it warm. It will be snowing today so be careful when you are out with your Aunt Pepper and Agent Carter."

"Wait Sharon is going with you today?" Tony was on his feet. "Nobody told me she was going shopping with you today."

"You got it Stark." A voice called from the direction of the elevator.

"Sherry-Berry! You're going to watch my little Hare-bear today?"

"Shut up Stark, it's Agent Carter. I volunteer to be their assigned detail when they go out or if they just stay in the offices." Sharon glared at her adopted brother.

"Oh? I thought Agent was the only one who tried to haunt my tower." Tony asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"In order to get out of Fury's dog house I offered up myself as a bodyguard for Harry, because Jarvis won't lock me out and he gives me an all access pass to the tower. You know, cause we're family." The blond smirked, holding up her wrist showing off her Red Buddy-Band.

"Traitor!" Tony shouted pointing at his sister.

"Anthony quit behaving like a child you are setting a bad example for Haraldr. Good to see you again Lady Sharon, thank you for going with them today." Loki ignored his lover and greeted the agent. "I know you all will be busy today but please have lunch on Anthony, he gave Haraldr a plastic money card."

"It's called a credit card Reindeer Games!"

"Please enjoy yourselves today and we'll see you for dinner." The god paid the genius no mind as he said goodbye to the three leaving by elevator.

"Bye guys see you tonight." Pepper and Harry waved as the door closed.

"You made Haraldr your Heir?" Loki asked turning to Tony confused about the actions of his lover.
