Peter crawled away from Dum-E, gigging as he did. The bot was quick to catch up with him, fire extinguisher in his claw. Tony smiled fondly, chuckling as he stood and picked up his son. "Dum-E I said to look after him not follow him around with a fire extinguisher." 

Peter giggled and reached out for U who came over out of curiosity. Tony let the kid touch the bot, moving away when Peter got excited and hit it instead. "Sorry U." The father reached out and gently patted it. "Like this Pete." 

The baby looked confused but amazed before copying him. "See, no need to hit U." Peter giggled and cuddled into Tony's shoulder. 

"Sir, I think Butterfingers wants to meet Peter as well," JARVIS spoke up, making the billionaire smile. 

"Look, Patatino. It's Butterfingers." Tony showed him the other not, laughing when Peter tried to reach out to it. 

"Getting acquainted with his siblings I see." Rhodey chuckled as he walked into the lab, seeing the two Stark surrounded by the bots. 

"He has to know the rest of his family." Tony turned to his best friend, who reached out for his nephew. "Plus I think they like him." 

"Who doesn't love Peter at this point." Rhodey took the tiny boy, cooing at him. "So you get an assistant tomorrow?" He asked, sitting down with Peter. "Do you think they'll stay?"

Tony shrugged and sat down behind his desk. "Don't know, don't care." The billionaire responded, bringing up his work. "All I care about is that they don't hurt Peter or tell Obadiah. I don't need Obie to know." 

"Yeah, I know Tones." Rhodey rocked the baby, watching him slowly fall asleep. "He really does look like you. Brown eyes and hair. Skin definitely like Mary's."

Tony smiled and looked at the baby in the man's arms. "He's like a small potato." Rhodey laughed at the genius response, shaking his head and calming Peter when he got startled. 

"A potato? That's what you think of him?" Tony just smiled and nodded, turning back to his work. Rhodey chuckled and looked down at Peter.

"He's a cute potato," Tony told him, snickering and walking to get a couple of tools. "JARVIS thinks so as well." 

"Sir I have to remind you that fabricating the truth always gets you into trouble," JARVIS spoke, sounding like he was planning something. Rhodey hoped it was another prank, those were always fun to see.

"Yeah yeah. So any leads on who killed Mary?" Tony asked, hoping to take down the people who hurt her. 

"No, not yet. We're still looking, I'm sure we'll find them." Rhodey tried to reassure him. He missed Mary and hoped she and Tony would stay together but of course, it had to end. He knew Tony constantly wished that she told him about Peter earlier.

"I hope so, she didn't deserve that." Tony took his son from Rhodey, smiling softly at the baby. "Come on, Peter needs to sleep and I want lunch."
