Granted, the relationship between Tony Stark and young Harley in Iron Man 3 was charming, but the whole situation was so very contrived and, as a result, completely unbelievable. It was extremely fortunate that, having been auto-piloted in his suit to rural Tennessee, the first garage that he happened to break into after being stranded belonged to a kid. However, this wasn't just any kid. This kid just so happened to be an inventor - just like Tony himself - and he conveniently happened to possess the tools and materials Tony needed in order to rebuild his Iron Man suit. He also happened to be the kind of kid who had no father and was in need of a big brother type to mentor him and, in turn, who he could teach a thing or two about life.
