(1) When We Collide (T. Stark)

Sam and Dean crashed on Tony's sofa for two days before they went on their way again, Spencer left behind, she didn't mind, she wanted to spend time with her daughter. And Tony of course. He watches her now in the nursery, holding Trinity in her arms, a sad, but still happy smile on her face.

"So....it went okay?" Tony asks, Spencer nods not looking up.

"Monster is dead, so yeah" she answers. Tony raises an eyebrow and she can feel it, he knows something else happened, she's been clingy and quiet the last two weeks. Enough so that she's been staying with him. Two weeks she's been drifting a bit, keeping Trinity close and sleeping holding onto Tony at night, to be fair he doesn't mind that, but it's usually him that's the clingy sleeper. "I never asked" she starts and looks to him. "How'd the press conference go?"

"Don't change the subject" he scolds a little. "What happened?" she looks down at her baby again.

"It was a jinn" she admits. "A genie"

"A genie?" Tony asks. "You rub the wrong lamp?" he asks her with a smirk, she shoots him a look.

"They drain their victim's blood whilst making them believe they have the life they wished for" she argues. "And they die"

"Oh, very wrong lamp then" he offers, she sighs and shakes her head.

"I got jumped by it" she admits. "And it...'infected' me"

"Wait, so you got a 'perfect' life?" he asks. "Is that why you've been upset? You sad you left?"

"Yeah" she whispers. "Kind of" Tony touches her shoulder and she looks to him. "My dad was alive, my mom met Trinity.." she whispers. "I just..."

"You miss him" he offers.

"Growing up, it was never easy, and he was never the best dad...you know, he'd drop us off at motels for days, or weeks, or months some times....Dean looked after us the best he could but he was a kid himself.....but now Dad's gone...."

"I know" he pulls her closer careful of Trinity, he kisses Spencer's forehead and then her cheek.

"Your parents were alive too" she whispers, Tony looks to her.

"What?"

"In the jinn world, Howard and Maria, they were alive...." she nods getting upset. "I wanted to stay" she admits. "Despite the fact that...it wasn't real, and I was going to die...I wanted to stay" Tony brushes the tears from her cheek. "And I feel terrible about wanting to stay...because here I have you and Trinity and...." he kisses her to shut her up.

"You don't have to explain" he offers pulling back. "I get it....I'd have wanted to stay too" he admits. "To see my mom again, yeah, I'd stay" he gives her a small smile. "How about" he starts playing with her hair. "You, me and the princess go to bed, eat blueberry pie and watch Gone with the Wind?" he asks, Spencer raises an eyebrow. "What? I know stuff about you..."

"Right, like my favourite food and my favourite movie?" she asks.

"I asked Dean" Tony admits, Spencer smiles warmly.

"You took the incentive to ask" she offers. "That's what counts" he smirks and shrugs.

"I try" he kisses her nose and then looks to Trinity who stares back up at him.

................

Tony looks to where Spencer sleeps curled up with her head in his lap, he smiles and strokes her hair Trinity stirs in her basket next to the bed and Tony looks to her too. Honestly he never though he'd ever get something like this. A good woman. A beautiful baby. The way Howard was with him as a kid he never thought he could do the father thing himself. But he is doing it. And he likes to think he's doing okay with hit. Pepper helps, Happy too, but he's trying. Spencer shifts slightly and Tony wraps his arm around her.
